Good: Strathmore 140 lb
Better: Arches Cold Press 140 lb

You can purchase a pan or tubes. I usually recommend starting out with a pan to figure out what colors you like best, then buying tubes of your favorite. I’ve pans at different price points, as well as my favorite colors that I often reference in class.

Better: Half Pan, Set of 12
