NOTES
Total paints should cost around $80-$110, total brushes from $30 – $35, total canvas around $70, total miscellaneous around $55. Cost for all supplies around $250-300. You can cut costs by stretching your own canvas, or painting on primed masonite boards, by splitting the gamsol, making your own brush holders, and getting Utrecht oil paint, and watching for sales. Don’t skimp on brushes (approx $7- $9 a brush), and don’t skimp on paint quality.
