Studio Materials

These are the materials I reach for every day in my studio. I'm often asked what I paint with, so I've gathered them here.

Some of the links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only list materials I genuinely use in my own work.

Paint

  • Golden Heavy Body Acrylics

    My main acrylic. Thick, buttery and intensely pigmented — it holds every brushstroke.

  • Amsterdam Acrylics

    What I use for the first layers of a painting, when I'm still searching for the composition.

Oil Pastels & Oil Sticks

  • Sennelier Oil Pastels

    Soft and creamy — the oil pastels I use for drawing into the paint.

  • Sennelier Oil Sticks

    For bold, expressive marks on top of the surface.

Surface

  • Unprimed Raw Linen

    I paint on raw linen and love how its natural color and texture stay part of the work.

Brushes & Care

  • Daler-Rowney Georgian Brushes

    Sturdy bristle brushes that keep their shape through heavy paint.

  • Talens Brush Soap

    Keeps my brushes going for years.
