Anna's 'Essential Range' of paints

There are 10 paint colours which Anna uses in most of her tutorials and she recommends you have these in your kit. 

If you're just starting out, these are the best paints to buy first as you'll be able to work on many of the tutorials with them and you can then slowly add more paints to your palette.

You can see full details of the paints and other equipment Anna recommends on the Equipment PDF here. 

The brand of paint Anna uses is Winsor & Newton, unless specified.

The paints in the Essential Range are:

1. Payne’s Gray

2. Burnt Sienna

3. French Ultramarine

4. Winsor Green (Yellow Shade)

5. Permanent Sap Green

6. Winsor Lemon

7. Scarlet Lake

8. Permanent Carmine

9. Opera Rose

10. Quinacridone Violet

If you're just starting out and are looking to build up your paint collection slowly, or if you're looking to scale back your palette to fewer colours, check out the information Anna's shared on painting with a Limited (6-colour) Palette.
