    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

     

    This set of 10 colors provides artists with high-quality oil paints at a reasonable price. Easy to mix, these paints are lightfast and permanent. The 21-milliliter tubes are a generous size.

    These oil paints are formulated with moderately priced pigments, ensuring the ideal balance of quality and value. Accordingly, they have an excellent pigment load, giving artists rich, vibrant colors at an affordable price.

    For retaining brush and palette knife strokes, these are the best oil paints. They are stiffer than superior quality paints, so there’s no need to worry about runniness.

    Most artists, students and teachers who have tried these paints are amazed at how well they perform at a moderate cost. While not the same quality as professional-grade oil paints, these are an exceptional choice.

    Some critics warn that the tubes are fairly small. Use a medium to make the paint last longer.

    Things to Love
    • Moderate-quality pigments
    • Excellent consistent
    • Unbeatable price
    Things to Consider
    • Tubes are small

    If you are a student, beginner artist or hobbyist, you’ll love these paints.

    Colore even offers a lifetime guarantee. If you’re ever unsatisfied with your purchase, they’ll make it right. These paints provide outstanding transparency and permanence while also delivering reliable consistency.

    Fans of this paint praise it for being soft on coming out of the tube and easy to mix. However, critics wish that more than one white hue was included.

    • Good application
    • Excellent transparency

    Factors to Consider When Buying the Best Paint for Canvas

    Before discovering the best paint to use on canvas, you have to decide which type of paint is right for you.

    Choose acrylics if you want something that dries fast and is really easy to work with.

    Working in acrylic doesn’t require much in the way of extras, which makes it a quick-start, low-cost option.

    Other artists may choose viscous, thick oil paints.

    Available in traditional and water-soluble varieties, you can apply oils with paint brushes or a palette knife.

    Watercolors work well because a little bit of water can transform them. Although watercolor is considered among the more demanding mediums, the availability of good-quality, inexpensive paint is a big draw.

    If you’re looking for colors that are suitable for canvas painting for beginners, then you’ll want to carefully weigh the cost.

    Prices run from the super-cheap to the ultra-expensive. Which one is right for you?

    If you’re just learning and experimenting, then you don’t need to break the bank.

    You can get some decent quality paints without paying top dollar. When your skills develop and you consider selling your work, you’ll have an opportunity to try some top-of-the-line selections.

    As you delve deeper into your chosen hobby, you’ll find that you start having definite likes and dislikes. Perhaps one paint feels too thick while another is too thin. Maybe one of the paints you’ll try is simply too transparent. Many artists even discover that the paint they choose depends upon the particular project.

    Above all, don’t be afraid to experiment and try new products.

    Making The Decision

    Choosing the best paint for canvas comes down to your personal preference and your artistic goals. Winsor & Newton oil colors are a fantastic pick for developing artists, but the Williamsburg paints are worth the splurge.

    If you’re going for acrylic, then we recommend the Benicci set while you can’t go wrong with the Reeves set for watercolor.
