1. First things first! I am in love with this watercolor block from Fabriano. The texture of the paper is really smooth, it's made of 100% cotton and it makes the colors look brighter. I usually use this for final artworks.
2. This Moleskine watercolor sketchbook - The quality of the paper is great, the pages are thick and all the drawings stay nice and organized. It's larger than other regular sketchbooks but fits nice in a tote bag when traveling.
3. Hand Book Watercolor journal travel set - I used this many times while traveling and it works so nice. The paper is great for many techniques and I love the brush that comes with it!
4. Da Vinci Harbin Kolinsky round brushes
5. I am using this Factis Eraser for more than 10 years and it's the best one I've used so far. It's super soft and cleans the paper really well without leaving any marks.
6. Dixon pencils - I am using harder pencils like 2HB before applying watercolor on my drawings. The lines are a soft grey and they become invisible.
7. Micron pens - I've been using them for years, they are great for doodling and they work with other mediums. Since I mainly work with watercolors I like the fact that the lines don't bleed after painting over them.
8. Winsor & Newton watercolor set - it's small, compact, perfect for travel.
9. Schmincke watercolor pan - The thing that I love the most about this set is that the colors are so beautiful, vibrant and strongly pigmented. It's definitely worth the price in my opinion.
10. I like this daisy porcelain palette when mixing my colors and it cleans up very easy, even from ink.
11. I use calligraphy pens not only for hand writing but also for drawing.
12. Acrylic inks - I like using white ink over some of my watercolor illustrations.
love your picks!

I love the micron pens! I use them when I journal in my mole skins (the only thing I journal with) also they are great for doodling :-)

Thank you so much for sharing this! :)
ReplyDeleteI love seeing other people's art supplies. Great post.
ReplyDeleteOne question, do you think it's worth splurging on the expensive Windsor and Newton set or is the Cotman watercolor set just as good? Because the price difference is huge.
I am using both of the watercolor brands, but I personally like the Schmincke better. And, yes, the price difference is huge but worth it.
DeleteThis is so fun seeing all your supplies!! I write with the Micron and calligraphy pens, but I've never drawn with calligraphy pens. Now I must try that!

moleskine is one of the best notebook / sketchbooks brands! On the expensive side of things but I usually find that worth it!

This whole list is very similar to my own wishlist!
ReplyDeleteI used the same handbook, moleskine + winsor & newton travel sets too. I use a similar eraser, but the Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser one. I've never heard of Dixon pencils. Right now I'm using Faber-Castell ones. I love micron pens too. I need to get some more. It seems like mine dry out too fast :( That daisy porcelain palette is so cute! I use this one http://www.dickblick.com/products/stephen-quiller-porcelain-palette/ when I'm at home and I love it with Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Tubes. I'd love to try the Schmincke ones. ♥Lindsay
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing Lindsay! :) That porcelain palette looks cool!
DeleteOoh I love looking at things like this! I wish I had your talent, haha. Your work is just so beautiful.
