Artists can - and will - use almost any instruments for painting. A visit to an artists' supply store will give you more information - and, very likely, an illuminating chat with the staff - but the basics are a range of brushes and spatulas, sponges, an easel and mounted canvases, a palette for mixing paint colours and, of course, paints (oils, watercolours, acrylics, and other media), pencils, charcoal, sketchpads and a camera. Plus rags, solvents and old, old clothes. An artist might use anything from combs to cutlery and beyond to make marks on canvas; some lay the canvas on the floor and slosh paint at it, then use hands, feet, kitchenware and so on to work. Creative art and how you approach it is limited only by your imagination. To start out you just need the most basic of tools; it needn't cost a lot. Then you either keep it simple or branch out from there, or both. Visits to art galleries or looking at paintings in books or online are also pretty good tools. As with food, wine, music and so on, don't listen to the snobs!
