Everything below costs around $1500 together. A fair price to let you do almost everything in art! You also don't have to buy everything. I think that anything related to creativity is a good purchase. People are not short of art materials (anything from this list to a free elementary school pencil counts as art supply) but short of creativity.


Traditional Art


EASELS $550

  • U.go plein air pochade box (+2 compartments, clear palette glass) $250

  • U.go wet paint box $150

  • Atworth french easel $160


BRUSHES $200

Almost all my brushes are from Rosemary & Co. Their products are amazing. I like to start with a hard rigger and then fill in colors with a hard brush. I blend using soft brushes. Sometimes I am lazy and just use one brush all the way through until it is dirty and I swap another one.

Medium brushes: eclipse
