Maybe ask your professor for recs? But then they might just rec you the most expensive

If your professor is Web he’s going to want a specific brand, not Artist’s Loft

Artists loft is cheap but I’ve tried them and found them to be really low quality (low opacity, streaky, etc)

Not really a type suggestion but look a few places before buying to see if there’s any coupons. Like Michael’s has an online sale for 30% off regular priced items

Also, I can’t buy a set. It has to be singular tubes.

I did but they recommended a $10 tubes and there’s 9 on the list so it’s $90 for all the paints not including the other stuff😭

He said we didn’t have to get the highest quality but he said not to go too cheap or the paints wouldn’t work as well

If you want to invest for long term I use winsor and newton and they’re great. But if you don’t love oils don’t listen to me lol
