My Materials Recommendations
While I do occasionally try new materials, most of my materials are the ones I’ve been using for years. I decided to list them out for you to see. To save you sometime, I put a buy on Amazon button for each one.
I compiled a list of materials and the link to buy them in a single PDF file. Click on the button below to download it!
Student Grade Paper
MozArt and Kilimanjaro are cheaper papers that I use for practice and value studies.
They are great for the price. However, if I want to do some serous work. I will use Bao Hong or Suanders.
Professional Grade
These papers are professional-grade papers that I recommended.
Brushes
Brushes are the only thing between you and the paper. Good brushes are vital, but you don’t need many of them. Here I recommend a few ones that I personally use. They are all synthetic brushes. Which means they are cheaper than real animal hair brushes, but they are just as good in my opinion.
These 5 brushes are my most used brushes, made by Craftamo, and designed by me.
I painted the majority of my paintings with these 5 brushes. These are cruelty-free, high quality, and best of all, the price is great. They are limited stock. If it is available, make sure you grab your set before it runs out.
Trekell Protégé: Synthetic Kolinsky

Paint
Good paints will make your painting experience enjoyable. They are easy to dissolve in water and the color will be vibrant. I mostly use Daniel Smith paint. Here are the basic colors that I use. I don’t have a 24 colors set. It’s much better to start small and expand your palette as you progress.
