Brilliant post, informative and helpful to those starting out with acrylics, though the Matersons Palet sounds interesting, I’ve not come across this in the UK.

This is a great round-up of supplies to get started with acrylic painting and set up a little studio corner.

The only suggestion I have is to consider purchasing the liquitex heavy body or fluid acrylics instead of the basics set.

The BASICS are student grade paint. While you get a lot of paint volume for your money, many beginners are disappointed in their ability to mix vibrant colors. They complain and says “they mix mud”.

Well, the problem is the paint, not the beginner. Student grade paint never mixes as cleanly as artist grade paint. So if you want to start out with vibrant mixes, I recommend going for a upgrade and getting the Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic tubes instead.

just my two cents. As always, I love your blog !! Great information and tutorials.
