Recommended Beginning Acrylic Supplies
This basic kit is perfect for beginning your journey in Acrylic painting. These colors have been chosen to give you the most flexiblity while keeping costs down. While most artist quality paint brands are suitable for use, please avoid using bottles of craft paint. The quality is very poor, the amount of pigment is extremely low, the viscosity is wrong for canvas painting, and the color names don't relate to artist paints, making it hard to learn color mixing. That said, the most important thing is to get your brush dirty! So, if you are unable to get the basic paint colors, we can use what you do have.
Supplemental Acrylic Colors
As you continue to paint, you will find your awareness of colors is enhanced and your ability to mix colors improves. As that happens, you will find yourself wanting to use a cool and a warm in each hue. At that point, you can introduce the warm blue of Ultramarine and the cool red of Cadmium. Dioxazine Purple is a fun and electric purple, and the earth pigments are always a useful addition to your mixing palette.
