I have always loved arts and & crafts but, up until recently, I really didn't consider myself “an artist”. After many years of stifling my own creativity while focusing on more practical things, I finally decided to rediscover my inner artist. One of my favorite ways to play with art is drawing and I created this list as a resource hub for anyone else who is maybe new and exploring the world of art for the first time or after a long hiatus like me.

After years of trial and error of making big and small oil paintings of landscapes. I have a found not all paints are the same. Over the years my taste has settled on a delicate balance of quality and affordability. As a starving artist (starving for attention) I’ve learnt the hard way expensive brand name doesn’t mean quality and competitively priced doesn’t mean cheaply made. I use everything on this list based on my experiences and I have come to this conclusion, consistency vibrancy and longevity equals quality even if it considered student grade products one can achieve professional grade results that will last the test of time, and won’t break the bank doing it. I am however limited by location to find the best deals and don’t like driving all over town, so i frequently make purchases from Micheal’s.
