Evaluate Material Costs and Accessibility
When choosing a medium, it’s important to consider both the initial and ongoing costs of materials and tools. Some options, like oil paints and quality canvases, can be expensive, while graphite, charcoal, or digital tools may be more budget-friendly.
Assess the availability of supplies by visiting local art stores or browsing online retailers to ensure you can easily replenish what you need. Reliable access to materials helps maintain creativity and workflow. For price comparisons and product reviews, check out Blick Art Materials and other reputable art supply sources.
