Jed uses heavy-body Professional Acrylic Paints by Winsor & Newton. Jed encourages the use of a limited palette. This saves you money, teaches you better about color mixing, and causes your paintings to have better color harmony. He usually recommends:

One red - Usually Cadmium Red Medium

One yellow - Usually Cadmium-Free Yellow Light. It’s important to get yellows in artist-grade quality - they cover much better than student-grade yellows. The other colors usually cover just fine in student-grade quality

One blue - Usually ultramarine blue

Plus black and white

With these colors, you can mix almost any color imaginable!
