Filbert & Round sizes - Long Handle

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.
