Glass palette, easy to clean just use a blade to scratch of the paint! I have a clear one, but I would personally just buy a white one.
New Wave Posh Glass Tabletop Palette - 12" x 16", White
Freezer paper! This works just as well as canvas pads but you might need to tape them down. Great Paint palette mixer if you are in a budget
Reynolds Kitchens Freezer Paper - 75 sq ft
Small wooden palette! I love my wooden palettes, but you have to clean them usually after each use which can become a bit of a hassle. Still, they are easy to hold and a must if painting outside for me.
Richeson Palette - 9" x 12", Wooden, Oval
My dream palette. This palette is ergonomic, but comes at a price. I hope to one day be able to own of these.
New Wave Wooden Palettes

Cheap canvases! I like to purchase by the yard and construct my own canvases.
Buying canvas by the yard often can be cheaper! I like purchasing 12 oz and buy the roll 72x25. I strecht my own canvases if you are interested in more information go to my instagram and message me!
Blick Unprimed Cotton Canvas By the Yard
Good canvases, I use them for studies and normal work.
Blick Super Value Canvas Packs
Super thick gesso! I like water mine down and apply 3-4 coats sanding in between as they dry. It should take at least about 1-2 hours for it to be dry enough to sand down.
