How to choose paints

Decide on the medium first, then the grade: watercolour for transparent washes, gouache for flat opaque colour, acrylic for fast-drying layers and oil for slow, rich blending. Student grade suits learning; artist grade has more pigment and stronger colour.

  • A limited palette of a warm and cool version of each primary plus white teaches colour mixing.
  • Tubes suit larger work; watercolour pans are compact for travel.
  • Check pigment codes and lightfastness ratings on artist-grade labels.
  • Buy brushes and a surface suited to the same medium.
