Acrylic Paint
Golden Set
Golden Open Set
I recommend the golden open set for painters who wish the paint to not dry so fast and for a different blending effect. Tip this may work better if you struggle with blending. I recommend the Golden Set for those who wish for a nice finish and buildable texture.
Brushes
Short Handle Snap Set
These brushes are my favorite for painting on paper or on smaller canvases that I paint laying flat and not on an easel.

An easel is optional, you can lay the painting flat on a covered table to paint it, but these will work if you want one!
