2. How much paint would you need to paint your bedroom? What supplies would you need? A. Call a painter, a friend, or a paint store, and ask them for instructions before starting. You might look into taking a class on painting. B. Look online for answers or read various websites. You might go to a bookstore to find books and magazines about painting. Maybe you would go to the paint store and read the back of paint cans. C. Go buy a can of paint, a brush, and start painting. If there’s not enough paint or you have the wrong brush, you just buy more. Eventually you learn how much paint and what supplies are required.
