Amazon links to art supplies I use the most often:
- Drawing pad bristol vellum
- Kneaded eraser . If it dries up it doesn’t work or erase. Sometimes I get old erasers sold to me. so beware.
- Tombow mono eraser
- Drawing fixative
- –Grumbacher final fixative, matte https://amzn.to/46bTwTC
- –Sennelier fixative for charcoal and pencil has a super fine spray mist, matte, high-quality
- Color Wheel
- White Drawing paper: Bristol Vellum is the best type of drawing paper to use if you draw on white surface. KOH-I-NOOR white drawing paper, “bristol vellum” or “colored pencil”: https://amzn.to/3QSb95p
- Colored paper: I recommend using CANSON COLORLINE drawing papers. This drawing paper is available in many colors and two thicknesses that’s reflected in price at Dick Blick Art Supplies Site. Thick paper is double in price. I find that Dick Blick has the widest selection: https://www.dickblick.com/products/canson-colorline-art-papers/?fromSearch=%2Fsearch%2F%3Fsearchword%3Dcanson%20colorline%20paper | I usually use Clementine, Fuchsia, Lilac, and grey papers. The supply of this paper constantly changes but here is an example of Lilac paper sold on Amazon: https://amzn.to/48ZATnZ & Pink: https://amzn.to/48K5zKi
- How to color like an artist, coloring book for children and adults
- The colored pencil manual, art instruction book
- Transfer paper: Loew-Cornell, Saral and many other brands. They come in different colors and sizes! Consider your projects to buy the right kind. I recommend buying large sheets as opposed to small ones. The color depends on the surface you want to use it on. Black is too dark to use on white paper. I use yellow color drawing on toned paper, for example. Saral yellow: https://amzn.to/3Ob4Md5
Colored Pencils:
To understand what colored pencils you like, you can buy them individually at any art supply store online. Test and then buy a box.
Prismacolor 36: https://amzn.to/3O6PQfJ You can buy 48 colors but it’s not worth going above that number because they repeat themselves and the colors can be mixed to achieve the same result.
Caran d’Ache Pablo colored pencils. Individual ones on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3SrDOjK
Faber-Castell Polychromos: open stock
Luminance: https://www.jerrysartarama.com/caran-dache-luminance-6901-lightfast-pencils
Beware that expensive colored pencils like Luminance or Polychromos can be counterfeit if they sell at a much cheaper price at some unknown retailers.
Some fun art materials:
- Ampersand pastelbord: https://amzn.to/2A99THg
- –Fin tec iridescent colours, shiny watercolor paint https://amzn.to/3T3CZOG There are several different boxes with many colors
- Molotow acrylic marker, one for all, various colors: https://amzn.to/3SahlGI
Art supplies online retailers are: Amazon, JerrysArtarama, Cheap Joe’s Art Stuff, Dick Blick Art Materials in the USA. I find that Michael’s and Hobby Lobby are too overpriced in general unless they run a big sale on a specific item.
