Get a bigger palette.

Thanks, I definitely will :)

I use a nylon bristled 2" and 1" brush.

Is the nylon not too soft for the oil paint? I guess it doesn't make a huge difference for background work, but I thought I'd ask.

Are there any brushes you use frequently that are missing from the set I found?

Wow, that's a way better price than other stores I found online. That's awesome, thank you so much! Link for the curious.

I'm documenting my progress on youtube

I took a look, your paintings look great! I'm excited to get started too, hopefully someday soon. Thanks for all your help!
