They work well with my intutive and many times impulsive painting style.

Williamsburg Oils- worth the money Da Vinci Pro Birch painting panels--you can by them in sets so they are cheaper and they don't need to be sanded first. Speedball Squeegee---I did a lot of screenprinting but now I use them to make marks on my paintings..once again they are good for the impulsive painter ..or the anal one Cheap paintnbrushes....I am rough on my brushes and I have never found that spending premium money made much of a difference.
