Art Paints in Art Painting Supplies

What type of paint is best for a beginner?

Acrylic paint is a good choice for beginners because they mix easily, dry quickly, and work on most surfaces, including wood, paper, and ceramics. However, some people find oil paints easier to work with because they dry slower and leave you time to correct mistakes as you work.

What factors should you consider when buying art paint?

Acrylics and watercolors tend to be easier to clean since they are water-soluble, but oil paint tends to create richer colors. Consider buying paint in tubes that help keep air away from the paint pigments, or choose a bottle for large craft projects.

What supplies do you need to use with the paint?

In addition to paint, you need brushes, palettes, and surfaces to paint on. Large brushes work well for spreading color across the painting surface, while smaller brushes come in handy for detail work. Palettes give you a place to mix paint to create custom colors. You’ll also need art paper or canvas designed for the type of paint you want to use.
