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.
