Listen I am a huge believer in use what you have!!! Other than clear gesso and mat gel medium.... for the rest use what's on your desk and your drawers. You can use kid's crayons and a pencil and I have lol. I very often use craft paints. Don't buy a lot...because it is so much easier to use those things you are comfy with!!
