I really enjoy painting – whether that is on a canvas or on a wall. Without the right painting supplies, however, things can be tough. Creating the perfect strokes, mixing colors to create something vibrant, and giving myself a hard surface to paint on – these are all tough without the appropriate supplies.
While I’ve been using certain supplies for a long time, others I have only discovered recently. If you’re looking to up your painting experience, then don’t overlook the role that these supplies can play in your paint sessions.
Acrylic Painting Set
“Very beginner friendly! The colors are brights and mix well with other acrylic colors I already have. The brushes provided in the kit were good too. A few had some hairs longer than others but they were easy to trim. The canvas they give you is thin and smaller than I expected but it works wonderfully for beginners and paintings for kids. I definitely recommend.” — Shalana
AEM Water Color Paint Set
“I love to collect art and have explored art of my own and of others for much of my life. As a mature artist (I’m too humble to call myself a professional 🙂 ), I know quality paints. I was not expecting this great of quality for just $20. It’s not only the paints that I was pleased with, really pigment rich, the paper is solid, the paint brushes are decent quality for a set, and it was nice that it came with the palette too. This set is such a great value, I bought three more of them for some friends who are artists and art collectors. They will think I spent a fortune. Let’s keep this between us.” — Angie
Caliart Acrylic Paint Set with 12 Brushes
“A few weeks ago, my family and I did a paint night, we bought some canvases from the dollar store, some paint brushes, and a few bottles of CraftSmart Paint (just the primary colors) from Michaels. We followed a beginners Youtube video and it was so much fun! You can see the painting we did in the corner of the photo. We are going to do another paint night this weekend so I purchased this for the variety of colors, our first paint night was planned last minute so we pretty much bought what we could find, but this time we’re super prepared with a huge variety of colors and better canvases that we can actually hang up in our homes. I decided to test it and I am amazed by how pigmented this is!! Compared to the CraftSmart acrylic paints, this is so much more saturated and a little definitely goes a long way. Plus did I mention the variety of colors???!!” — Syeda
Neon Nights Glow in the Dark Paint
“So I make 3 way paintings. They have 3 different looks; day time, glow in the dark and black light UV. These paints GLOW awesomely! No lumps or chunks like with some paints. Good purchase.” — Jamie
Art Canvas Paint Set Supplies
“This set is great. My wife and I purchased 2 of them and had an at home, covid-safe paint and sip date. This set had everything we needed and provided something fun and interesting for us to do. Great for beginners and even comes with a guide for mixing colors.” — Brandon
MEEDEN 148-Piece Deluxe Artist Painting Set
“This is the perfect gift set for someone who knows about painting a little bit. i wouldn’t recommend it for someone who knows nothing and a fresh start painters giving it a try. It comes with everything needed to paint for hours though. Most people don’t know the difference between certain paints such as oils and acrylics so maybe a intro to painting book would definitely help this set be great for newbies.” — Amazon Customer
KEFF Creations Acrylic Paint Set
“I don’t care if the paint is of high quality or not (I probably can’t tell the difference lol), all I can say is I’m having so much fun with the kit!” — Amazon Customer
Artlicious Canvases for Painting
“I bought these to start my new hobby of acrylic painting. A good size for beginners, ..you can finish a painting in no time.” — Suzy S.
Crayola Washable Finger Paints
“I needed non-toxic paint to do an art project with my dogs and this was perfect!! Easy to use and wash off but they look GREAT on the canvas, very vivid. I had this vision of getting my dogs paw prints in all different colors and used this paint to make my vision come to life. It was easy to remove when it got where I didn’t want it and one of the dogs even took a nice lick full of it before I got his paw rinsed with no ill effects. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to paint with a pet.” — Amazon Customer
Watercolor Paint Set
“I adore this set! I got this as an impulse buy because the price looked right for a beginner like myself, and I hoped it would be a little more pigmented than other sets I’ve gotten in the past that were frustrating to use. It surpassed my expectations.”
“The color variety is great, the accessories work well, the cakes last a long time even with a lot of use, and the case itself is perfect to travel with and has held up well. It even has built in space to mix the paints to make the perfect shades. I’d definitely would buy it again in the future for myself or as a gift to anyone who’s interested in dabbling with watercolors.” — Amazon Customer
