Gosh Anj, there are just so many pretty paints available. It's hard to choose just one favorite of each color. When I first started painting, I thought I had to buy whatever brand and color the pattern book listed. Needless to say, each artist had their own favorites, so it was a bit hard for me to go buy another blue when I had one I already liked. The light finally dawned on me that I could substitute my own color choices to match my decor and preferences--I didn't have to do my project exactly like the one in the book! Duh! That saved me allot of money by not buying so many bottles of paint. I do have some favorites that I buy again and again. Most of mine are Folkart brand.
