​For the past 17 years, I've almost exclusively purchased my art supplies at Jerry's Artarama (aside from when I get canvases from my local Michaels). They represent tons of brands, have high standards, affordable prices, and great customer service. They recently launched their own line of paint called Tuscan and Pine. Ive included my favorites for intermediate and professional artists: Click the Jerry's logo below to see my suggested materials list:

Palette

~ I've used everything from fancy wooden palettes to a plate of glass. Right now I'm using glass because I love how easy it is to scrape clean.
