What I love about it: It's silky smooth, provides great pigment for the money, and it's made locally!
I use these odorless mineral spirits to thin my paints and clean brushes. It's less toxic than other brands so I feel better about painting around my family.
If you like quirky, fun organization you'll love these pouches. I like to travel with these pouches and have a few in different sizes for different mediums.
This is the only pencil sharpener that you'll need. It first removes the wood and then sharpens the tip to be ultra sharp (murder sharp, so be careful!) . And it keeps the shavings tidy until you are ready to dispose of them.
I choose this odorless gloss varnish to make my dark paintings even darker.
I love this stuff. It's Non-toxic, Organic, with a Neutral pH, and Acid-free. One jar lasts for a long time and you can always thin it down with water depending on your project.
This is my go to water brush for sketching on the go (and in bed). It doesn't leak and the size is great for small and large pieces.
These pencils are rich in color and blend well. My only problem is keeping them away from my kids and in their proper place.
This sketchbook has a great weight for sketching, mixed media, or watercolor, and the unique size makes capturing tall or really wide views easy.
I have a set of these that I love. I can erase my work and it never smudges. I can also refill them and replace the tips after overuse.
