Brand and Purchase Recommendations: I would highly suggest buying your paint from a fine art supply store like Jerry’s Artarama, Dick Blick, Utrecht, etc. (not Michael’s or Walmart). Other supplies are fine to get anywhere you can find them. Buying student grade quality/hues is completely acceptable. Be sure to be aware if you are buying acrylic, oil or water soluble oils as they have different uses and ways to clean up. My favorite brands for oils are the economical but high quality brands like Utrecht, Winsor & Newton. I will buy Van Gogh and Winton for certain colors like white, ivory black, etc. Golden is the best brand for acrylic, but other brands will work too. For brushes, I would recommend starting out using long handled bristle brushes. The softer, synthetic brushes can be used when you are more familiar with painting- they produce a smoother, thinner application.
