You will also need :
plain white paper towels
atomizer to keep your pallette moist
ceramic palettes are great-get one of these little ones, you will like it for mixing colors. They look like a flower make sure they are ceramic

Buying equipment in person; The only supplier that I know of for Jo Sonja Paints in this area is Pearl Paint Company in Tampa. They are on Hillsborough. The last time I was there the selection of Jo Sonja paints was way down. As for brushes, they are loaded and they sell clayboard, gessoboard, and even another brand of board. Michaels also sells brushes. I hope this helps, if you have any questions e-mail me at skoury@skoury.com
