CANVAS
16x20x.75 inch Primed Canvas for Acrylic or Oil Paint - get a mid-priced brand
EASLE
Table Top - I used one at Blick - so they should have them in stock. Or, they have them on Amazon, but Blick may have better prices.
PALETTE
Any hardware store should be able to cut a piece of glass for you.
CONTAINER FOR ALL THE SUPPLIES
I use a tool box from any hardware store. You should store your paints horizontal.
$$$$
All these supplies get pricey - so these items are my mid-level grade recommendations but try to economize wherever possible! For example, a tube of Cadmium Yellow in the brand I use is $55! But, one tube lasts me for over a year.
