Really enjoyed this zine. I 100% agree with starting with the cheap stuff. I think I might also add paint brushes to something that is worth investing in. Not because it necessarily makes your art "better" but it's so satisfying to have really soft nice brush <3 Thanks for the zine!

Thank you! It is an expansive subject. I was mostly thinking of the people who either think any supply will do, and those that think the expensive stuff must have an Art Quality +3 Booster!! built in :) In art class at uni the prof said very clearly: get three paints. EVERYBODY showed up with the Schmincke 24-colour box. Then failed at cleaning the colours (becaues using a wet tissue on them was out of the question) and ending up doing studies in magenta "because it was the only colour not mucked up". Which I thought looked nice but wasn't what they wanted. Well, they weren't there for the art, but still.
