Additional materials you can purchase later:
As a beginning painter, you might want to skip an easel. You can place your canvas or painting surface on a table to work. Easels are nice to have your painting upright while you paint but not necessary. I use a Blick French Easel by Jullian - Half Box that can be set up any where and packed up when you are done painting. A less expensive option is a table top easel like Blick Tabletop Easel - H-Frame, Black. A more professional choice for a palette is a wood palette such as the 12”x16” Wooden Richeson Palette .
