I'm not a painter no where close lol buutttt from the times I've been expiramenting :3 don't get the expensive stuff for your first few times. I bought like a 100$ box of professional artist markers and I had no idea how to use them and never touched them again, get good with mixing colors and adding water to pigments before trying to make like Picasso art, hope dis helppedd <( ̄︶ ̄)> have fun paintingg
