  4. Artists are encouraged to bring their own mediums and tools. A limited set of acrylic paint is provided by local Art Battle producers. Artists are encouraged (but not required) to bring outside medium — Allowed mediums include: acrylic paint, ink, oil paint, charcoal, pen, pencil, watercolor, and more. Water based aerosol, airbrush, oils with solvent are permitted only at some venues, but restricted at others - audience safety and comfort is the main consideration in materials being allowed or not
