I THINK YOU SHOULD START ON PAPER AND PAINT YOU PLAN TO USE. THIS WAY I CAN GET FAMILIAR WITH HOW THEY WORK TOGETHER AND THEIR UNIQUENESS. OF COURSE I SAY THIS BECAUSE I RESEARCHED AND DECIDED FOR NOW PRODUCTS I AM WILLING TO INVEST IN. GRANTED I CAN ADJUST LATER.

Overall the subjects were covered well but . . . . . .while it may not be necessary to have expensive materials for the beginning sections of the academy it would have been nice to know that while the inexpensive materials ( i.e. 90 lb. paper) will be ok for some simple projects it can be frustrating to do an advanced wet on wet project with buckling paper. Also, quality paints make a difference.

I think that it should be noted that brush sizes are *not* standardized, because some may be confused when Princeton's #6 is a different size from Arteza's #6. And I think the student grade/artist grade issue should be addressed, if only to note that the difference exists and should not be a concern for an new painter; student grade are fine to start and likely much less expensive.
This was a quick rundown of necessary materials and how to set up the painting area. I liked the emphasis on a few simple supplies at first to help you focus on learning to paint rather than gathering in lots of supplies. Her presentation is lighthearted and calm. Seeing her work area is helpful and she distills what could be a ton of info into just what you need to get going!
