What is your favorite paint to use for canvas painting and what brands?

I want to try my hand at canvas painting but don't know what good paints are out there to start with?





Do you prefer Oil or Acrylic? What brands are better than others? What wouldn't you buy?





What do you think of Deco Art or Blick Paints?What is your favorite paint to use for canvas painting and what brands?
Big acrylic artist secret, are you ready?


Go to walmart and head on over to the craft section.


Every acrylic artist I know uses these.


They are cheaper, brighter (if you need), and you have pretty much every color right there. There's no reason to pay more for paint.


So regardless of what ANYONE on here says, I'm sure you can afford to spend a couple of bucks on 3 or 4 different tubes to test for yourself.





Every established artist that I know who use acrylics use this brand.


(artists who paint for a living)





Just try it.


But don't use their paint brushes :pWhat is your favorite paint to use for canvas painting and what brands?
deco art, acrylic.





i wouldnt buy the super watered down acrylic, takes longer to dry, and you dont get the eyepopping colour of thicker acrylic...





i prefer to use acrylic in tubes, rather than bottles,... the colors are richer , and really bring a painting to life





check out my paintings :D
