These are my favorite! I’ve been a fan of Liquitex BASICS for a LONG time now. You can also convert colors if they are labeled differently. I also use Artist’s Loft, Royal Essentials and DecoArt Americanas in the mix.įind a brand that you love too and stick with it! You can still do these tutorials with whatever brand of paint you love to use. That said, I have personally been using Liquitex BASICS for over 15 years and it is my tried and true paint that I love! It is a student grade paint but I love the consistency of it. Artist quality paint is better than student grade. Student grade is better than craft paint. More expensive paints are better quality. The old saying goes “buy the best quality paint you can afford”. Medium Magenta (or quinacridone magenta mixed with white)Īhh paints! This can really bring out a lot of opinions in artists! What kind of acrylic paint should you get and why? That answer is really dependent a lot on your preference and budget.Ultramarine Blue (or phthalocyanine blue).Hooker’s Green Hue Permanent (or deep green permanent).Primary Yellow (or cadmium yellow medium hue).I actually use an Elf brand makeup brush as a mop blending brush! (Yes a makeup brush! It works so well with blending techniques!).Velvetouch 3/8″ Angle Brush In This Set.Detail Paint Brushes (Love these brushes for detailed work, however, they did not last as long as I hoped for.).Tiny Spotter Brushes (A liner brush has longer bristles, a spotter shorter)
Then you can add to your collection later! 3/4” Flat Wash Brush Just starting out? Totally understand how it can be overwhelming! The 4 brushes I would start out with are: 3/4″ wash, 12 Bright, 4 Round and Tiny Spotter. Source My Recommended Brushes (With links): The synthetic bristles are able to handle acrylics well. Look for something that says synthetic and made for acrylics. I also like the Simply Simmons brushes which can also be found on Amazon and Michaels. There are a few other brands thrown in the mix that I like to use too! They’re readily available at Michaels and a few other craft stores. I find them to be great quality and frugal. Other favorites include: Royal & Langnickel Zen or the Majestic Royal Brushes. I almost exclusively use every brush in this set: UPDATE: As of 2020 I switched to “Princeton Velvetouch Brushes” and have not turned back ever since! I love the quality of these brushes and the softness of the bristles. Lately I’ve been using these Canvas Panels (which are easier to store) & This Art Alternatives Canvas Pad. It’s great for practicing on but it will “curl” when you paint on it. You CAN, however, use whatever size you want for these tutorials! Some tutorials were done on 16″ x 20″ but I now rarely use that size. The best deal that I have found for canvases are the bundle packs at Michaels in the Artist Loft brand OR the bundle packs on Amazon. I recommend the 11″ x 14″ size or the 12” x 16” size.
