U.S. Art Supply 121-Piece Artist Painting Set - Complete Field Easel

In this review of the U.S. Art Supply 121-piece painting set, the bottom line is simple: this is a complete starter-to-intermediate kit built for artists who want immediate access to multiple painting mediums and a portable easel. It includes a Coronado field and studio sketch box easel plus 72 tubes of paint across acrylic, oil, and watercolor, which is the single biggest reason to buy - everything needed to experiment with different media is in one kit. The set feels packaged for gifting or classroom use and gives users a fast path to creating finished work.

Key Features

• Multi-medium paints: Seventy-two 12 ml tubes include 24 acrylics, 24 oils, and 24 watercolors so users can try different techniques without buying separate supplies.
• Convertible easel: The Coronado beechwood sketch box easel converts to a tripod and extends up to 72 in, providing stable support for studio or plein air work.
• Selection of surfaces: Two 16 in x 20 in stretched canvases and six 11 in x 14 in panels are triple-primed, letting artists paint with oils or acrylics right away.
• Brush variety: Thirty-two brushes in bristle and taklon sets cover rounds, flats, and filberts for watercolor, acrylic, and oil techniques.
• Mixing and tools: The kit includes a 17-well plastic palette, a wooden palette, five palette knives and a double-sided color mixing wheel to aid color study and texture work.

Who It's For

This set is ideal for aspiring artists, art students, hobbyists, and anyone buying a substantial art gift; it gives a broad toolkit for learning watercolor washes, acrylic layering, and oil blending without hunting down individual items. Its especially useful for people who value portability, since the Coronado sketch box stores supplies and converts to an easel for on-location painting.

Seasoned professionals who require artist-grade single-brand pigments or a small, specialized selection of brushes may look elsewhere, as the included brushes receive mixed feedback and some users replace them when seeking finer performance. Also, buyers who only want one medium might prefer a smaller, medium-specific set to avoid unused tubes.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Extremely comprehensive kit with paints, canvases, palettes, knives and a sturdy sketch box easel for immediate use.
• Good value for the price when you consider the 72 paint tubes and the storage-friendly easel design.
• Safe, non-toxic paints that conform to common safety standards for classroom and home use.

Cons

• Brush quality is mixed according to users, and some will want to upgrade brushes for better control and durability.
