Hey, starting with acrylics is awesome, especially with more time at home. For a beginner like you on a $20-30 budget, I'd suggest the Acrylic paint kit since it gives you a solid variety without overwhelming you. It comes with 24 colors and all the basics like brushes, canvases, and even an easel, so you can dive right in without buying extras.
What makes it great for newbies is that the paints are decent quality and don't dry out too quickly if you keep the caps on tight, based on what I've seen in reviews. It addresses those mixed Amazon feedbacks by including a good mix of supplies that let you experiment right away.
One thing is the tubes are on the smaller side, so you might run out of favorites faster if you paint a lot, but overall it's a balanced starter set that keeps things fun and affordable.
