1. A large textured sponge, used to apply paint to the panel and to create texture.

2. My container with paintbrushes of various sizes and textures, plus a palette knife for mixing paint and applying paint to the surface. I keep them close to me while I am painting for easy reach.

3. Pointed Q-tips, used to apply and remove paint.

4. Linseed oil in a squirt bottle. I use linseed oil to thin paints at the beginning of the process of applying paint to the panel. 

5. My gray paper palette.
