At my first trip to MAC for "essentials", a salesperson helped me pick out "Blue Brown" and "Pink Opal" pigments, I fell in LOVE with the Delft paintpot so I got that too, the 239, 217 & 219 brushes, black track fluidline, and then gave me a few pigment samples.
You'll have fun no matter what you decide on, that's for SURE!
