. Paintings can be done using different materials like water colours, oil paints, wax crayons, pencil colours or even charcoal pencils. You can choose your niche and then accordingly buy required art materials. 
Each artist has to find out which materials they are comfortable with as they start a career in painting. Over the years practicing different styles the artist develops their individual style of painting. Some artists can jump from material to materials and are comfortable with any art material where as other just cannot work in any other material than which they are comfortable with. This depends on the individual artist and their seniority. Some artists like to change styles and as doing water colour previously may turn to oil paints or vice versa.
Creative artists sometimes also dabble with collages and murals as the art field has unlimited dimensions. Each piece of art is unique and every artist brings out the best by using the same art materials. Brushes of different materials are used and some artists may be selective of the size and types of brushes used by them.
Different paints using glitter, gloss or metallic are also available in the market. There are many options for the artist to let go of their creative juices and make beautiful artworks. Many oil paint companies supply art materials to the residence or studio of the artist for free. There are also concessions in percentage on the total amount used to purchase of art materials.

Beginning as an artist many have students oil paints to begin with. Then they go for artists oil colors later on. You can also buy cheaper brushes for practicing paintings before making professional art to sell. As professional artists who are emerging will dabble into various types of mixed art materials established painters have high quality international branded paints and brushes for making art. the professional selling artists use quality materials and charge higher prices for their paintings.

You can mix art materials and use combinations. 

There are also whole sale art material dealers who supply painting supplies to your home and this helps professional artists who may require continuous supply of large quantities of paints and canvas. I have noticed art materials also get too heavy with larger size canvas  rolls and big jars of paints so my art materials dealer do supply home delivery of painting materials. It has become very easy to order art materials online and many suppliers also provide concessions on the price of art materials. Even heavy discounts on oil paints and canvas is available. It has been quite a lot of help for me and I can order materials right from the comforts of my home. Online art material dealers advertise on different sites as well as some have websites of their own. One can go through availability of art materials as well as discount rates before going in for purchase of art materials.

Good quality art materials go a long way in making good art works. Every artist must pay special attention on selection of art materials. There are detailed websites that guide you about different art materials, their mode of use and painting techniques. Tips for better performance with the company colours are also mentioned as also combinations of different colours to get shades and hues.

With the internet being an easy medium to order art materials one must take care to buy from reputed stores who supply good quality art materials. Once I had a oil sketch paper with dark lines on it and another time the canvas was cut off in wrong way due to which some part has to be wasted during cutting in straight line.

When you purchase art materials online take care to pay when you are satisfied with the art materials. You can arrange with the material supplying company to pay when you receive the goods, and this will keep many problems covered and also save precious time if you have to do a commissioned art work.

It is better to buy artworks directly as you get to see the materials and also judge their quality, but if the company is a standard company supplying art materials then it becomes much easier to avoid traveling all the way for a tube of paint.

Locally we have a established art shop, Stationary who supply art materials at home by just a phone call. But you have to purchase for a certain minimum amount for their delivery free. And I have seen many sites also have a minimum purchase order for them to supply art materials at your home. So you have to club art purchases together for getting your materials delivered by courier free of transport charges. Online and even Amazon Flipkart has good deals on art materials now.

I use many different brands but all are reputed ones from India and international. Brushes are my weaknesses and I always need to buy regularly because making symbols need good quality brushes. I love tow rite simple symbols and raw calligraphy so I do not buy professional calligraphy brushes. I had these but never used as I do not like to follow a controlled pattern, art needs to flow easily from the heart and soul of the artists, there needs to be joy in making art!

Happy painting from Rizwana!
