The right drawing and painting accessories can make your journey as an artist more enjoyable. Investing in high-quality art supplies pays off in the long run, as cheaper materials just can’t compare with them.
These are some essential art supplies that all beginner artists should have:
-
Sketchbook
A sketchbook is the first thing you should buy. It’s ideal for polishing basic drawing skills—but it also helps you plan a drawing, visualize a concept, and sketch out rough ideas that you can refine later. We offer a variety of sketchbooks in different sizes, such as:
- Strathmore 400 Artist Tiles 6” x 6” Sketchbook
- Robert Bateman Sketchbook 14” x 17”
- Bamboo Hardbound Sketchbook 11” x 8.5”
-
Kneaded Erasers
Kneaded erasers will help you quickly take care of your mistakes. Unlike regular erasers, kneaded erasers don’t damage paper or form residue. You can mould it into different shapes according to your needs. Top-sellers on our website include:

An acrylic paint set is a must-have tool for beginners as acrylic paints are easy to work with. Since they’re water-based and can be used without thinning or dilution, they make painting an enjoyable experience. Here are a few choices for a beginner’s set:
- Sennelier Abstract Acrylic Paint Set
- Demco EnCouleur Acrylic Colours
- Liquitex Professional Soft Body Acrylic Set Essentials

Paintbrushes
Having acrylic paintbrushes on hand is a must once you buy your acrylic paints. There are different shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from—but you can’t go wrong with a beginner’s acrylic paintbrush set. A few options are given below:
