I second the larger canvas! Tiny canvases mean you need different tools since your area of coverage is drastically different, meaning the 2" brush will be too big. If you want to save money - I'd recommend getting canvas paper, they come in different sizes!

If you are getting mud - I'd recommend not loading the brush as much as you think you need. The point is to get some color on the canvas and then later blend. When I was following one of Bob's paintings - he really emphasized scraping off excess paint exactly because the "thin" paint sticks to "thick" paint.
Something to roast marshmallows on! :)

Cheap canvas pads is what I have been using for studies and practice as I have been learning. The Strathmore canvas pads are pre-primed and I think would work great for your purposes.
