I buy most of my painting tools from the local craft store. But here are some great deals I have found.
I always buy my blank canvas at Hobby Lobby because they have such great deals in bulk.

This is the best paint to start with as a beginner. Thick and easy to use.

I love this painting pallette because I can mix my colors and not get it all over the place.

I use this cart to hold my paint. This is a good way to see your paints and tools.

Palette knives are really handy to have. This is the set that I currently use.

I use these small journals to practice strokes. It's a fun way to quickly do some painting and then have it saved in a book.
Painting Journal
I use this to clean my brushes. I don't clean them every day, maybe once a week. Cleans and preserves.
"The Masters"® Brush Cleaner & Preserver
I have this water bowl. One side holds water and one side is to let the brushes drain.

Hands down the best paint I have used so far. The colors are so vibrant and remain that way even on the canvas. It's quick dry, but gives a great flow.

I bought this value pack and I sincerely love these brushes. I love having extra brushes ready for me when I forget to wash one and ruin it or wear one out. Grab the pack if you can.

This is the easel I want. I love how it can adjust to any size canvas and easily rolls up and down. Someday maybe.
