6 New Art Supplies I Currently Love


i’ve been trying out tons of new art supplies for my online course HOW TO CREATE WHIMSICAL ANIMALS. i just love experimenting and layering with them all in my sketchbook. 

here are a few of my most recent favorites…


powdered color pigments (by jaccard),


flower-inspired stamps,


water soluble wax crayons (by reeves),


giant, wide brushes (great for covering up big spaces of background),


bamboo calligraphy brushes (i just love the wispy lines they create),


and water soluble oil paints (by reeves).

See some of these supplies in action in my painting videos here.

    Thanks for your post I'm curious about using the powdered pigments I have never before seen them but the colors are absolutely beautiful! I personally am a watercolors kind of gal and I stick to DaVinci only because of the vibrant colors but this is just because I'm nervous to try anything new. I'm making a note of each of these thank you

    best wishes!
