Essential Art Supplies Every Beginner Needs

Every artist starts somewhere, and having the right supplies can make the learning process much more enjoyable. You do not need to invest a fortune to get started.

A good sketchbook is your first essential. The Camlin Kokuyo Sketch Book with 180 GSM paper handles both dry and wet media well. Start with an A4 size for versatility.

For drawing, begin with a set of graded pencils. The Faber-Castell 9000 Drawing Pencil Set gives you six grades from 2H to 6B, covering everything from fine details to rich shading.

Colour pencils are the most beginner-friendly colouring medium. The Faber-Castell 24-shade set offers excellent pigmentation and smooth blending at an affordable price.

When you are ready for paints, start with Camlin Student Watercolour Cakes. They are forgiving, easy to clean up, and teach you the fundamentals of colour mixing.

Invest in a decent brush set early. The Camlin Artist Round Brush Set of 4 gives you the basic sizes needed for most techniques.
