With the entry-level art sets from The Sydney Art Store, stepping into the world of art has never been easier or more exciting.
Building a Reliable Art School Kit
A well-rounded art school kit supports learning across multiple mediums and techniques, giving students the flexibility to meet course requirements and explore new skills. Basic drawing tools like HB to 8B graphite pencils, kneadable erasers, and blending stumps are essential for tonal studies and linework. Watercolour pans, acrylic paint tubes, and beginner oil paint sets allow students to experiment with colour, layering, and composition. A selection of brushes—flat, round, filbert, and detail—will prepare artists for various applications across canvas and paper. Accessories such as masking tape, paper towels, water jars, and aprons are often overlooked but make the creative process smoother.

Different artistic techniques call for specialised materials, and matching your supplies to your process ensures smoother execution and better results. For example, students practicing ink work will benefit from dip pens, waterproof ink, and bleed-proof paper to master fluid linework and crosshatching. Those working in mixed media should have a combination of dry and wet tools, including soft pastels, acrylic paints, and collage adhesives. Sculpture or 3D design courses may require clay, modelling tools, wire, and armatures, while printmaking students often need carving blocks, linocut tools, and brayers. Choosing compatible surfaces is also crucial—wood panels, stretched canvas, and heavyweight mixed media paper each provide different responses to materials.
