Great piece. I sometimes feel overwhelmed with all the art that you could do, this just is a wonderful succinct piece. Thanks

Love this! I use basically the same materials and recently started using dry pastels as well. I never thought I would haha but I love the texture and versatility. I haven't tried wet chalk but I will now, thanks! I also appreciate the arrows to each different material in your illustration, I often look at other artists work and wonder how certain marks were made.

Don't worry about the button repetition, it's no big deal :)

Thanks for sharing! I would love to see more posts on other materials you use (like you mentioned). Oh and your illustrations are gorgeous, the texture, hmm😍 it's just makes me want to touch it, is that weird?😂☀️

My most used materials are brush pens, colour pencils and neocolors II but I also use gouache (still experimenting) and oil pastels :) there's a world of art supplies and possibilities!

Lovely post! I really love Supracolors too. Have you used the Derwent Inktense pencils? They’re my favorite for colored pencils. If they came in the range that Caran D’ache do, I’d be the happy as a clam!

You newsletters are just so visually stunning! ❤️ It's a pleasure to read.

I recently got Caran d'Ache Neocolors too and I've been really loving them: they're so buttery smooth. Gouache is a favourite too: both the traditional as the acrylic ones. 🤗 Thank you for sharing your favourite supplies and how you've been using them. I'm definitely curious to learn more about your favourite sketchbooks and papers! ❤️

What a great post, I am about to pack art supply for a summer trip. Now I will definitely pack some pastels with me and give the medium another try. Thank you for such a lovely article

Thanks for this great article. Massively enjoyed it. I’m using most of the materials too but not necessarily in these combinations. Want to try out something right now. 😀

I'm going to have to save this post to refer back to - SO USEFUL!! I must say, I haven't found my groove with pastels yet, but I am desperate to - I love the idea of dipping them into water! Thanks for a great post!

Louise, this was such a treat for the eyes, thank you. Have you ever been to Green & Stone in London? This post reminded me of going in there and feasting on all the incredible art supplies (only this post was safe because I couldn't accidentally spend a small fortune on art supplies I'd never use).

Dry pencil on wet gouache - who knew! Thank you, thank you 🙏
