- Acrylic Supplies
Paints &mdash I do not care what type you use — if you are just getting started and buying for the first time, Liquitex makes a nice, reasonably priced tube paint. Goldens makes an excellent choice, too; they also make a liquid acrylic that works well with watercolor techniques.
- Colors — these should be your choice, but you need minimally:
- red (there are orangy reds, true reds, pinky reds)
- orange (this is cadmium red med or light)
- yellow (also a cadmium, yellow)
- raw sienna
- blue (cerulean is sky blue, cobalt is a true blue, thalo blue is a greeny blue)
- green (a sap green — tree green, or hookers green — a bluer green)
- titanium white
- carbon black
- purple is nice to have too, but not necessary
- *A beginner's set is fine...you can get any of above not in the set separately
- Mediums to mix with paints
- I especially like Golden's GAC 100 for use with all types of paint
- Brushes
- I like the synthetic white ones made especially for acrylics, and a couple of cheap hogs hair bristle brushes, too. Basic sizes — 4, 8, and 10. You might like to get a fan brush, too. The larger your canvas or board, the larger the brushes you should buy.
- Something to paint on
- A canvas paper pad, 9"x12" or smaller and Canvas boards or stretched canvas 9"x12" or larger
- A palette to put paint out onto
- a white board, plexiglass, even a waxed paper plate. There are also ones to purchase...the one I like for storing acrylics is the Masterson palette. A large ziplock bag and a sponge can keep a plate of paint viable from week to week.
- Container the size of a large yogurt, a squirt bottle, paper towels
- Oil Supplies
Paints &mdash I do not care what type you use--Liquitex is a good paint available at a reasonable price
- Colors — these should be your choice, but you need minimally:
- red (there are orangy reds, true reds, pinky reds-Alizarin Crimson is a good color to start with)
- orange (this is cadmium red light)
- yellow (also a cadmium, yellow light)
- raw sienna
- burnt sienna
- blue ( cerulean is sky blue, cobalt is a true blue, thalo blue is a greeny blue)
- green (a sap green — tree green, or hookers green — a bluer green)
- titanium white
- carbon black
- purple is nice to have too, but not necessary
- * This can certainly be a beginner's set of paints, getting any of above not in the set separately.
- Medium
- Turpenoid (odorless turpentine, please) and linseed oil or other oil painting medium like Liquin.
- Brushes
- Cheap hogs hair bristle brushes will do to start. Basic sizes — 4, 8, and 10 — you might like to add a fan brush and a soft brush (say a size 4) for smoothing and blending
- Something to paint on
- a pad of 9x12 or smaller of canvas paper and canvas board or a stretched canvas, 9x12 or larger
- Palette
- A piece of white wood, plexiglass, waxed palette paper, sturdy plastic paper plate. One more at least for mixing color.
- An empty, clean glass jar with lid
- Several tin cans (like tuna) for your mediums
- Rags and Paper towels for cleanup. Fels Naptha soap is great for cleaning brushes
