Random Quote of the Day: “Nature made him, and then broke the mold.” – Ludovico Ariosto

Hello sunshines! 🔆 I know I rarely talk about anything art-related on my blog, but I’ve been asked a few times in the comments what my all time favorite art supplies are. So today I am sharing MY TOP 5 FAVORITE ART SUPPLIES!

✏️ PRISMACOLOR PREMIER: SET OF 79 ✏️

These were my most expensive investment early in my artist hobby and I do not regret it! I love these Prismacolors — they are really easy to use, suitable for any sketchbook, and there are such a variety of colors! I’m really happy that it came with other supplies besides Prismacolors; they included a few watercolor pencils, artist chalk pastels, & Verithin Colored Pencils! I don’t use them too often because I am primarily a painter, but here are a few works that I’ve created using the Prismacolors.

🖌 KOI WATERCOLOR BRUSH PENS: Set of 12🖌

I haven’t used these much, but just like the Pentel Brush Pen they have a nice brush tip and the colors are very vibrant. This is a great substitution for someone not looking for the “messiness” of traditional watercolors. I don’t know if they sell bigger varieties than the 12 pack, but this set of colors is pretty good for a small sketch or drawing.

🖊 PENTEL ARTS POCKET BRUSH PEN 🖊

I love, love, love using this Brush Pen to help enhance my sketches. It doesn’t bleed through the paper and the brush is firm but flexible in the sense that you can get a variety of line intensities with it.

🖌WINSOR & NEWTON COTMAN WATERCOLORS: Set of 24 🖌

This has been my most recent expensive investment besides the Prismacolors, and again, I do not regret it! This set of colors is very diverse, the paint is extremely pigmented, and they are pan sets so they are replaceable! I love that it offers two spots for mixing and the pans were filled to the brim when I got them. It is very compact and great for traveling, but I personally would not recommend this palette if you are not familiar with watercolors since they are pretty expensive (at least for me, lol). W&N does offer a smaller pan set, so you can look into those at a lesser price if you are interested! (:

🎨 LIQUITEX ACRYLIC COLOR BASICS 🎨

These are my favorite acrylics ever! Granted I haven’t really tried out any other acrylics, but I haven’t had to because these are very reliable paints. They are inexpensive but work really well from what I’ve experienced. At my local art supply store they sell a ton of other colors besides the ones I have shown above, but I haven’t had to buy other colors besides those since I am able to mix them. Every art pieces that I have shown you guys have mostly been created using these acrylics, so yes, these are definitely a favorite of mine (:

And that is all for this discussion post! I hope if you are interested in the Arts that this post was helpful for you! If you ever have any questions regarding my art process or anything like that, definitely leave me a comment and I would be more than happy to assist you! (:

Thanks for reading & I’ll see you next time…
