*I use Winsor and Newton, however Utrecht, Lukas (1862 series) and Gamblin are also good brands at reasonable prices for oils. For acrylics, I recommend Golden Heavy Body, Winsor and Newton, Liquitex or Nova Color. Beware of the cheap stuff! Painting is like cooking..... it starts with good ingredients.
