Brushes I tend to use mostly Mop or round brushes ... larger rather than smaller for a round brush you need at least a #12/#14 .  A smaller #6/8 round brush But you don’t need more than a couple brushes ...

 Food… the Sandbar Cafe is directly across the road on Highway 19 a. Or the new food truck I gather is now open where the cone zone is in Qualicum Bay. Or you can bring your lunch and eat in the area and walk around the grounds but we will definitely be taking a break up about an hour.
LETS PAINT! WHOO HOOO....
