SKOOL SUPPLIES

When I first started painting, I spent more time staring at art supply websites than actually painting. Seriously.

Should I buy the cheap brushes?

Should I “invest”?

Why are there 47 kinds of white paint??

I didn’t want to buy garbage and fight my tools the whole time.

But I also didn’t want to spend $300 just to discover I preferred tagging buildings.

So I did the testing.

I found that crappy brushes shed like nervous golden retrievers and leave bristles in your paint.

Low-quality paint makes you frustrated because the color you want is NOT the color you get.

Bad surfaces make your brush strokes look like you have Parkinson’s.

So below you’ll find the exact supplies I use when teaching Oil Painting for Stick Figure Dropouts (in person).

They’re reliable and let you focus on skill instead of wrestling with junk.

Are they mandatory? No.

Do I strongly recommend them? Absolutely.

Stick Figure 101 Skool Tool Kit
$59.00

Everything You Need. Nothing You Don’t.

This is why I created these kits for those that want to try oil painting without investing $155. It’s a LOT when you are starting out.

I’ve already tested the products. I’ve already made the mistakes. I’ve already taught many students with these products and it works.

You get quality tested tools — without buying an entire art store.

This is meant to be a one time purchase.

What’s Inside

  • Mixing palette - will last for many paintings.

  • 4 curated synthetic brushes (detail, filbert, chisel, blending)

  • Palette knife

  • Reusable transfer sheet

Is This Mandatory?

Absolutely not.

If you already own oil painting supplies, you can use those.

But if you’re starting from zero — or don’t want to spend hours researching — this is the easiest way to begin.

Why Dick Blick.

I have been using them for my supplies since the 80’s when I was in art school. They have the simplest cleanest website, huge selection, best pricing, efficient shipping and the BEST customer service. Sometimes, stuff comes damaged and they always make it right with no struggle.
