What will you find at Artista?
Artista’s online catalogue is organised into nine main art supply categories. Use this guide to find materials by technique and purpose, rather than choosing by packaging alone.
Paints and working surfaces
Start by checking the type of paint: different paints call for different surfaces and working methods. In the canvas and surfaces category, check dimensions and priming information. Similar colours or packaging do not make two materials interchangeable.
Brushes, mediums and easels
Choose brushes for the paint and marks you want to make. Mediums and solvents have specific uses; read the label and compatibility guidance before use. When choosing an easel, consider your available space and the size of your canvas.
Sketchbooks, paper, pencils and markers
The surface matters as much as the drawing tool. Check paper format, weight and recommended use in the description. Suitability for markers or wet techniques should be confirmed separately rather than assumed for every sketchbook.
Accessories and a focused shopping list
Palettes and other accessories support your working process. Build your list around one project: a surface, a tool for applying colour and any necessary supporting materials. Check each product page for current price and availability.
Frequently asked questions
Can every supply be used for every technique?
