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.
