What's the name of this painting supply I saw on TV?
I remember seeing commercials for this, and wanted to learn more. The interior painting tools are somewhat spade-shaped, for getting into corners.. basically they allow you to paint right up into corners and around trim without getting paint where you don't want it. They also have extender handles for getting up into high corners. The tray itself is like a regular paint tray, but it has a rolling cylinder in it, taking up just the right amount of paint as you roll the painting tool over it. I think I saw this on a commercial, but haven't seen it lately and can't think of the name. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!What's the name of this painting supply I saw on TV?
I don't know the name, but Home Depot has them. I've seen them there.

Oil painting art supply question?
my gf recently took an oil painting class and she really likes it so i was trying to find a starter kit or something along those lines as a graduation present..... problem i know nothing about art supplies. please help me!Oil painting art supply question?
There are kits when you go to art stores. They have the basic paint,supplies and some brushes, some come with mini palette too. Check with Blick art supply online or with Pearl art supply. You be able to order them online or just go into an art store and ask the clerk.

The best gift that I like to get is a gift card to Blick, than I can buy the things that i need. I hope it helps.Oil painting art supply question?
i'd get her a gift card for dick blick, utrecht, jerry's artarama, or your local art supply store.
picking colors for somebody else is tricky, everyone has personal preferences.
if you must by her paint, i say buy her an opaque and transparent red, blue, yellow, green, violet, and white. the back of the tube will tell you if it's opaque or transparent. example- titanium white is opaque, zinc white is transparent. anything that says cadmium is opaque. avoid colors w/ 'hue' in its name. 'hues' are combinations of pigments mixed to look like the real thing, they're cheaper than the original but bad for mixing colors, makes things muddy.
a gift card and a barrier cream (like invisible glove, helps keep toxic pigments from being absorbed into your skin and makes washing paint off of your hands easier) says i care %26amp; i want you healthy and alive
What a great idea, you are a generous boyfriend. She will already have some supplies, so rather than duplicate them by mistake, why not buy a gift card from one of the local art stores near your house? Another possibility is to buy a gift card from one of the online art suppliers. Here are some links for you:
http://www.cheapjoes.com -their goal is to be the best art supplier on the planet. They have annual art seminars in June (another great idea for her) and their own line of quality supplies.
http://www.asw.com -their goal is to be the cheapest. Because of the economy they are sending daily emails of a ';Deal of the Day';, which is always a good deal.
http://www.jerrysartarama.com -I'm not sure what they're doing with the bad economy, but they are always a responsible supplier.
maybe buy her some brushes (at Michael's or a local art store the brushes should be labeled Oil or Acrylic), a small canvas, and the basic colors - cadmium red, aquamarine blue, canary yellow, titanium white, and mars black. That would be a good start!
Italian Art store has free shipping on orders of over $150. They have kits of top brand oil colors. Prices are below Jerry's Blicks, Dan Smith etc
Ask you local art store like Miachel's arts and crafts or JoAnn fabrics... or whatever else there may be.tvs

What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
I've decided to take up painting. Since I have no prior experience, I'm not sure how long this will last, but I'm taking the plunge anyway. I'm not sure what I'll need to get started. I mean, I know I need brushes and paints and things to paint on, but what KIND/TYPE of brushes? And what do people paint on? I'm thinking I want to do acryclic painting - what kind of paints are the best? What other supplies will I need? I'm serious about this, so please be serious in your answer. Thanks. 10 points.What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
you'll need a cup for water, canvases (they come as stretched and as panels, since you are just starting out, I would recommend panels because they are less expensive than stretched canvases, which can get very expensive with size and quality), I 've seen some cool stuff on partical board (available at lowe's) which is really cheap, jsut needs to be cut, gesso for prepping canvases and adding texture if you want texture, a good pallette (I use a glass one that runs about 30 bucks, but there are plastic ones and pads of pallette paper that are pretty good too). Paint comes in jars, tubes and bottles, usually tubes are the best quality, but bottles are comparable in quality and less expensive and usually have more in them. expect to buy larger quantities of black and white overall. what type of brushes to buy really depends on your preferred type. The most common types are synthetic (a very fine plastic type of material), Sable (real fine hair from a small furry animal) and camel (real thick hair). Since you are just starting out, I would recommend synthetic since they are easier to take care of than real hair, easier to clean, etc. one thing to remember: brushes are like tattoos... cheap isn't always good and good isn't always cheap. I'm not saying go out and spend 300 bucks on brushes, but before you buy it, give the bristles a little tug to see if they fall out easily. you don't want your bristles to litter your canvas. Also, everytime after you finish painting, thoroughly clean your brushes with a mild soap and water to keep them in shape. You'll also need either some very low lint cloths for wiping your brushes while painting or a lot of paper towels. some old shirts to wear while you paint are also necessary bc no matter how careful you are, you will get paint on yourself. an easel (table top or standing) is also a great thing to have. colored chalk is useful for mapping things out on your canvas before you start painting (graphite is supposedly a big no no, but i use it occassionally, when chalk gets on my nerves bc it can't make the detail i want). another thing I find useful for keeping lines straight is the painter's tape for delicate surfaces, it won't pull the paint off, but you can still tape off a straight line. that's pretty much everything you'll need basically. If you get more into it, there's more stuff that is more technical and helpful, but you just need the basics to gett started. Good Luck!What supplies will I need to start an acrylic painting? Thorough answers only.?
well for paints acrylic is good for beginners, but my preference is oil paint. its excellent except its very messy and a finished painting could take a whole month or more to dry depending on how large it is. but if u choose oil, go with the bob ross brand, its pricey but very good, if you don't want to go too far out price wise you should go with winston brand or i forget what its called something like winston and has a little horse and carriage on the front, its also very high quality. for brushes u will need a 2 in brush, a 1 1/2 inch brush, a filbert brush, a fan brush and if u want a miniature fan brush. as far as canvases go, you should go with an 18x16 thats what i usually use. if you need instruction, you should chek out some of Bob Ross's TV shows, you could probably buy them or watch them on the WLIW Create channel. or you could buy one of his step-by-step books. well i hope you found this helpful! good luck and happy painting!!
You will need several things to start painting:
Paint: I recommend acrylics, because they are easy to clean. It is also easy to clean your brushes... Go with Red, Blue, Yellow, Brown, Black, and White in a six pack beginners set. Liquitex Basics or store brands are generally good enough to start.
Brushes: Round, Filbert, and Flat brushes; 2-3 three of each. You can use brights instead of flats if you prefer, it just means longer bristles. You want a good mix of sizes: small, medium, and large.
Surface: You can buy prestretched canvas and gesso covered masonite panels at most places. Avoid canvasboards: canvas stretched over cardboard; they warp and fall apart very quickly.
Palette: You need a smooth surface to mix your paint on. I recommend ceramic tiles from home depot or another hardware store. A six inch white tile is about 50 cents. A razor blade scraper is another two dollars.
Other Stuff: Easels are optional. You can paint on a flat surface if you want. Dropcloths are useful, unless you want to spread newspapers around t protect the floor. You can use an old plastic cup for holding rinsewater. A spray bottle is very useful for acyrlics: spray a mist of water over your paint palette to keep the paint moist.
Note: this was asked a few minutes ago by someone else.

If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
The topic is basically the question, I know that paintings usually means that the supply curve is vertical but what if prices of art materials increase? will it effect the supply and demand curve in any way?If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
More supply less demand.If prices of art materials increased such as oil paints,canvases etc. wat will be the supply and demand curve?
In general: 1. If supply costs increase, then the supply curve shifts up.
2. If the supply curve is vertical, a supply cost shock does not affect the supply curve.
For paintings: I would not apply the traditional supply-demand scheme here, because paintings are not homogeneous goods. Consider ';The Sunflowers'; of Van Gogh. He was not planning to paint them twice.
If you consider paintings as homogeneous goods, then the supply curve is not likely to be vertical. Consider a painter on an African market: they often paint the same painting several time for tourists and tourists buy several of them. Increasing material price will lead to an upward shift of the supply curve, meaning: a higher price and lower quantity.
