Wondering which paint colors to buy? Here’s what actually matters…

which acrylic paint colors to buy

Have you ever wondered what color paints to buy? I recently received a question on “What’s a good starting color palette to buy?”.

A lot of people start out by buying a mixing set of classic colors. But I recommend something completely different…

Watch the video below to see what I recommend for your palette, plus my absolute favorite colors – something I’ve never shared this before!

 

I typically don’t like to tell students what colors to buy, because choosing the colors YOU love is so important.

The colors you choose are part of your voice, and the mood you create.

That said, today I want to share with you both the basic colors I recommend, plus a few simple tips for becoming confident with color.

If you’re not as experienced at color mixing, don’t try to learn to be a better painter and color mixer all at once – it’s too much.

You’re not cheating if you buy colors that are already mixed into brilliant hues that excite you.

Watch this video to see a few of my favorites colors, and what I recommend you buy for starting out…

With love,
Kellie
PS. I’m headed to Spain for the next two weeks… I’ll miss talking with you, but can’t wait to share all my new inspirations with you!
