Dear Parents/Artists
After years of trial and error using several different types and brands of art supplies, I have tried to find what tends to work best (and what doesn't work well) for most of my students. I have compiled a list of necessary supplies for beginning artists in several mediums, listing recommended brands in order of my preference. I have chosen all of these products with the beginner in mind. Although other brands may be convenient, more expensive, or less expensive, please realize that they may be more frustrating for the beginning student to use. I have selected these products based on their quality, ease of use, and price for beginning artists. Once an artist has had the opportunity to establish basic skills in their chosen mediums, they may wish to try different brands to see what suits them best. I would be more than happy to suggest other mediums and brands for the developing artist to experiment with when they are ready.Please check with the instructor before purchasing any of the optional supplies, to make sure that the student is ready to try a new medium. All of these mediums use some of the basic concepts and techniques used in drawing, so the instructors like to make sure that the student has a good understanding of these before moving on to other mediums to make the learning process a little easier. You may also want to speak with the instructor about the different mediums to see which would suit the student best.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Thank you!
