Utrecht paint will always be my first choice--it's just the most economical for the quality of paint you get, but if you're in a hurry you can always go to Hobby Lobby or Michaels and get either Master’s Touch Thick Body Acrylic, Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic or Golden Artist's Acrylic. All 3 brands are reputable and will work well with our impasto, palette knife style.
Master's Touch Unbleached Titanium....similar to Utrecht's Buff White
Master's Touch Yellow Oxide….similar to Utrecht's Yellow Ochre
Master's Touch Brilliant blue….similar to Utrecht's Light Blue
Master's Touch Ultramarine Blue (red shade)....similar to Utrecht's Ultramarine Blue
Master's Touch Alizarin Crimson Hue….similar to Utrecht's Crimson
You can choose whichever size canvas you want, but below are some of our more popular sizes...
Blick Premier Heavyweight Cotton Canvas is the canvas I use if I'm doing a commission or creating art for Galleries. It never warps and everything about it is heavy duty. It's my very favorite canvas! It is more expensive than the Blick Studio Series...but worth the extra expense if you're selling your art professionally. I especially like to use Premier when going large--36x48, 48x48 or 48x60, for example.
