My Art supply and Buying guide for setting up your art studio.
Below is the list of art materials, paints and Brushes I talk about frequently on the Show. We thought it might be nice to have the full art studio List in one place so new painters could plan and add to their home art supplies easily.
Below are a list of materials. The links go through our Amazon Affiliate program, and you support The Art Sherpa when using them. Also feel free to use this as a materials list and to get other acrylic brands.

Cadmium info http://bit.ly/2b7bj6Z Hue info http://bit.ly/2aHsWGC
Michael Craine Spectrum paints
Animal studies have shown that cadmium pigments can be potentially toxic if inhaled or eaten, but Michael Craine, the managing director of Spectrum Artists ‘Paints, says that the cadmium used in the art world is not classified as hazardous and is of low solubility “to make the small risk smaller still”.Sep 25, 2014
Craine insists that it is not cadmium paint that is responsible for pollution, but rather nickel-cadmium batteries that have been dumped into landfills. Their sale has been regulated in the EU since 2006, and their disposal is heavily regulated, but difficult to enforce.
