I'm not sure why people are assuming you would be talking about house painting when this is clearly the ART category....
Anyway, to answer your question, I personally like Liquitex acrylics. They're not as expensive as some brands and I've found that they work well. Windsor Newton has good paint, too, but I believe it's more expensive.
As far as brushes, eh, I think that's a little more matter of opinion... I normally use synthetic bristle brushes personally. I've tried a bunch of different brands and styles, I tend to go back and forth on which I prefer depending on what I'm painting.

I absolutely love Liquitex but, the heavy and medium body one... not soft body or the basic ones. But if you want to use soft bodies try to use an additive to thinken the medium.
I always buy a tub of white and tubes of the other ones, if you really want to apply yourself, just buy Phtalo Blue, Red and Yellow. and white... and then make every other color out of that.
In regards to the brushes I don't use natural brushes because I use synthetics....
If I had the money to buy natural ones I would.
But the ones that I'm using have been working great for me for the past 4 -5 years...
Lowell and Corell Series 530 and
Winsor and Newton series 237
I hope this helps you...
take care :-)

As with any trade whilst any one has a not up to anticipated revel in they're going to by and large instances inform as many persons as they may be able to approximately stated revel in, however how by and large does the equal individual speak about their well studies? Not very by and large when you consider that it used to be what they have been anticipating. I implemented and acquired employed for the franchise supervisor function as I used to be graduating and feature no longer seemed again considering. I have visible persons be positive and those who have no longer been as positive and it consistently boils down to two matters; how a lot paintings/attempt did they installed and the way did they make use of their educate. This is a difficult function, that is why the gift is so pleasant and those who step as much as the plate and take that assignment head on acquire the finest rewards. I have run two College Pro Painting franchises and a College Pro Window Cleaning franchise and am nonetheless studying new matters daily. The aid and teaching that I nonetheless get is helping me in my opinion gain my ambitions and upgrade myself. I nonetheless speak to earlier managers who perhaps didn't do as good as that they had was hoping they usually will have been mad at College Pro once they first left, however now once they seem again they become aware of that they have been their possess restrainer they usually nonetheless got here clear of College Pro with a plethora of skills and revel in that they might no longer have garnered in other places.
