Get acrylic paint tubes in white, black, red, yellow and blue. Have a tub of rinse water, a paint brush, a colour mix grid and something you can use to get a specific (small) amount of paint.

Measure, mix and chart colours to make recipes for your favourite shades, hues and tints for future reference.
