I started in a tiny studio and had the same problem with chalky fast drying craft paints and.. :) what helped was switching to a basic student grade set that says fluid or soft body on the label and then using a homemade wet palette so the paint stayed open long enough to blend and the difference was night and day. Brush wise I keep it to three most days. A synthetic round around an 8 for most shapes, a small round for details, and a flat around half an inch for block ins and watery washes. Short handles are easier at a desk. Rinse often, never let that model dry in the bristles, and if you can, use a little brush soap when you finish. For sets with guidance, look for boxes that mention a quick start booklet or a QR to beginner lessons. Storage is easy in a small box or zipper pouch. Keep caps clean, store away from heat, and if a cap sticks run it under warm water then try again and do not use pliers or it can crack.

Use C25K, conversational pace, fresh shoes, dynamic warmup, rest days.
