#1 · Art supplies & tablets

Caliart 52 Colors Acrylic Paint Set with Painting Brushes

$33.59 · 7.7/10

Expanding on the entry-level range, this 52-color set minimizes the need for complex mixing by providing intermediate shades. Pigment purity and lightfastness documentation remain absent, typical of mass-market acrylics. Treat this as a craft-room or student asset rather than paint for fine art intended for resale.

#2 · Art supplies & tablets

Caliart 36 Colors Acrylic Paint Set with 12 Brushes

$25.99 · 7.4/10

A starter acrylic kit that delivers high color variety along with basic brushes at an accessible price point. The manufacturer does not list ASTM lightfastness ratings, meaning colors may shift or fade when exposed to prolonged sunlight. It suits decorative craft projects and preliminary color-mixing practice rather than permanent archival work.

#3 · Art supplies & tablets

Caliart Alcohol Markers 100 Colors Dual Tip Fine & Chisel Art Markers Pens

$39.99 · 7.3/10

A massive hundred-marker set aimed at high-volume sketching and rendering on a budget. Because these are alcohol dye markers rather than pigment, lightfastness is low and work will fade if displayed in sunlight. Heavy bleed-through requires use of dedicated marker paper or cardstock above 200 gsm.
