R&F Pigment sticks- I love these because you can draw with them or use them with a brush. They work well with my intutive and many times impulsive painting style.
-
Sennelier Oil Paint in Pale Ochre- I am painting a lot of people lately and this is a great first layer so I paint the entire panel in it first.
-
Williamsburg Oils- worth the money
-
Da Vinci Pro Birch painting panels--you can by them in sets so they are cheaper and they don't need to be sanded first.
-
Speedball Squeegee---I did a lot of screenprinting but now I use them to make marks on my paintings..once again they are good for the impulsive painter ..or the anal one
-
Cheap paintnbrushes....I am rough on my brushes and I have never found that spending premium money made much of a difference. Royal Langnickel Golden Taklon Large Area Brushes - Flats, Set of 12 for $25...they are great for painting hair
-
Rags from Viking....always need rags
-
Princeton Catalyst Contours and wedges- good for making marks
-
Liquitex Freestyle Brush - Flat Splatter, Short Handle- If I want to paint stars or lightening bugs this is the tool
-
