Favorite Art Materials

From time to time people ask me about the kinds of paints I buy, what medias I like to use,etc. However, I use whatever is good quality, and accessible.  Depending on the store I am visiting, I look at their selections, and note the prices offered. Of course, if they happen to have the kinds of paints I need on sale, I purchase those. I will occasionally try a new brand of paints, pastels,etc., out to see how it performs. Sometimes it has been well worth it, other times not. If you also produce art, as a hobby or profession, my advice is to experiment with what works for you, sometimes it really does lead you to a new understanding of what works best!
