Art Students Materials List
Art materials influence how artists make their work and how viewers perceive it
For everything we do in art we need the right tools. A watercolour painting can't be done to its best if we use any other paper than made specifically for watercolour or we fight with the elements if the canvas or brushes we are using the wrong type.
The materials listed here are for introduction lessons only. To keep the cost down for art materials before you have settled into a specific medium, I am recommending the minimum of supplies you will need to get a satisfactory result. For example when buying oil paints, instead of Cadmium Red, I recommend Vermillion Red instead as it more affordable but is a close enough colour to achieve the same result.
