Equipment you may wish to consider for working in Ali’s style.
Ali works in a variety of media and so it is quite tricky to have a definitive list of materials that you might need for these tutorials, she also likes to encourage you to work in whatever you may already have so that it helps you to save money and to not feel like you should exactly replicate her choices. Therefore she would like to share the list that she has up in her own studio and gives you an insight in to the wide range of paints and tools that she chooses for all the subjects she teaches. It is a comprehensive list and much of it may not be applicable to your interests but it gives you a starting point and then you can watch your purchased tutorial as she always describes what she is using and why.
