Some paints will be needed.. the three primary and three secondary colors colors would be enough along with white and some type of black. A color wheel and some brushes, small, medium, and large size would suffice. A canvas pad or a paper pad suitable for the type of paint you will be using. As problems arise an instruction book or the search feature on about.com/painting will help. What you set your support on is your choice. A foam sheet on a tabletop easel and some push pins would work fine. I personally prefer the KISS method as I find less is usually more.. Less confusing.
