As a beginner (02/2022) I needed a place to document all the questions and resources I came across so I can always find what I needed, when I needed it. So, I created this ‘Beginner‘s Corner’ and I’ve decided to open it up to my repainting friends in case you find it helpful, too.

One of my ultimate favorite online supply stores for literally ALL KINDS of supplies is the OOAK Artist Emporium! I was addicted to this online shop when I was sculpting my polymer clay OOAK artdolls (which I still do) to get all my supplies for sculpting, but, now I see that these supplies also apply to repainting which was a joy to realize!
