Painting Supplies

Our Painting Supplies collection is a one-stop shop for core painting materials, including paint, brushes, surfaces, and the extras that make setup and cleanup easier. If you want to dive deeper by medium, browse acrylic paint, oil paint, and watercolours, then round out your kit with brushes and tools, canvas and painting surfaces, and painting accessories curated by Art Noise in Kingston, Ontario.

A simple starter kit is paint, a couple of versatile brushes, a surface you like, and something for mixing. Start by browsing the Painting Supplies collection, then pick a paint type like acrylic paint or watercolours, add a few essentials from brushes and tools, and choose an easy surface like primed canvas or options from paper and pads. If you want help matching supplies to your goals, Art Noise can point you toward a setup that feels good to use and is easy to stick with.

If you want fast drying, versatile layering, and easy water cleanup, start with acrylic paint. If you love slow blending time, rich colour, and traditional techniques, explore oil paint plus oil mediums. For transparent washes and travel-friendly painting, look at watercolours. You can compare these options while browsing the full Painting Supplies collection to build a kit around how you like to work.

Surface choice affects how paint behaves and how finished work looks. If you want a classic feel and lots of sizes, start with primed canvas. If you want something rigid for smooth detail or heavy texture, try wood panels or other options in substrates and support surfaces. For studies, sketching, and water-based techniques, explore paper and pads. You can mix and match by browsing the Painting Supplies collection and choosing a surface that fits your medium and workflow.

For most painters, a small set of reliable shapes (round, flat, and a detail brush) goes a long way, then you can add specialty tools as your style develops. Browse brushes and tools for everyday essentials like palettes, palette knives, and brush care, then choose brushes by medium, for example acrylic brushes for durable, springy control or watercolour brushes for softer washes and lines. You will find it all alongside paint and surfaces in the Painting Supplies collection

Yes, mediums and finishes help you control how paint moves, dries, and shines, and they are a big part of getting the results you want. For acrylic, start with acrylic mediums to adjust flow, glazing, and texture, then look at acrylic finishes and varnishes for protection and sheen. For oil, explore oil mediums to fine tune drying time, blending, and final surface. For priming and surface prep, check out gesso and grounds, or browse everything together in the Painting Supplies collection.

If you want a smoother painting process (and less mess), a few practical extras make a big difference. Browse painting accessories for prep and protection basics, then add mixing and cleanup essentials from brushes and tools so your brushes last longer and your space stays manageable. You can build a complete, studio-friendly kit by starting with the Painting Supplies collection and adding the accessories that match your medium and workspace.
