I started with one small box of Sennelier that was specifically for seascapes. Once I was happy with using them I started adding the small sets of Unisons in other colours, like the box of darks and the landscape set depending on what I was inspired to paint at the time. The urge to paint a particular scene came first to me.

Try to purchase half stick sets in a few brands. Unisons. Sennelier. Rembrandt. These just a few no half stick sets. Blue Earth. Terry Ludwig Get to feel them. How they work for what you want to do. Only then did I get Unisons and I have your sets too! Unisons are my fav but different brands have different colours so add a few singles in at first also. It took me about a year to finally choose a brand and I bought a set once in a while til I now have over 500 unisons
