Currently..my favorites are:
Crayon d'Ache crayons, Strathmore Mixed Media Journal, neon yellow paint pen, R&F NEW encaustic paint colors: turq., pearl, and seafoam green. I also LOVE the paint pens!!!

Thank you for sharing! We don't have an art store close to us, so I shop at Dick Blick, and it is addicting. I've been using my Derwent Watercolour pencils, and Derwent Inktense pencils a lot lately. Love Sharpies!

i am so addicted to ordering art supplies online. You’ve reminded me how much I love those inktense pencils… I must get them out again π xo

Ha! I got the round Bombay inks set for Christmas! I'll be playing with them this weekend. I like how they are matte on paper. I am also enjoying my new Derwent Artbars!

I haven’t tried those artbars… they sound so inspiring π xo

I've been ordering online for as long as I've been on line! Don't have the luck to be living in an area where there is actually an Art Store. Mostly just craft stores with limited REAL art supplies. Blick is great and I love Jerry's Artarama as well. I'm a little ashamed to say that I HAVE everything that's been blogged about π I am a bit of a color addict so if it's pretty & bright, I have it. I will say that the Caran D'Ache are wonderful. I've been using them since I first discovered them back in the 70's when they were wax based only. Now I have everything the company makes and it is ALL of superior quality. So nice to see that others like their colored pretties as much as I do. Happy New Year!

I would love to see your art supply closet! sounds like a perfect painting day π

thank you! if you haven’t alread, I’ve a few videos up with the oil paintsticks (and lots that I post to instagram stories). I love the oil paintsticks! I mostly use them on my last layers with all of my other water based supplies to add creaminess and so much depth π

oh my, love to read about new art supplies. I love Marie's watercolors. They are Chinese and have such vibrant colors. They flow on watercolor paper like no other and they are highly pigmented.
Juliette CraneAuthor
that sounds amazing!!! i love anything that flows on watercolor paper – especially in bright colors!

Just bought some artbars as well this pass weekend. They are replacing them with the watersoluble oil pastels in our art store. Apparently they are better quality! Can't wait to play with them.;-)

My favourite art supplies are pan pastels and pro markers in any colour I can find. I always buy online because it is so easy to do but so bad for the old purse π

Awesome Juliette! My current favourite is a GelliArts printing plate – makes great background papers. Cat x

i love the pan pastels too…will have to try the pro markers. it's a little too easy to place art supply orders online π
Juliette Crane
