My Favourite Art Supplies (Updated)
EPISODE 98
Who doesn’t like chatting about art supplies? Okay, maybe it isn’t Richie’s favourite thing, but it is mine. I absolutely love hearing about what artists use right down to the little details-the size of their brushes, preferred substrates, go-to colours, homemade tools-I want to know it all! Are you with me on this? I hope so, as this week I am running through my mixed media artist toolkit.
We did an episode like this a while ago, but it felt like it was time for an update! So join us as I chat about my latest loves. From the paints that make me swoon right through to the supplies that make Richie sparkle. Haha, all will be explained in the episode!
I also answer a few commonly asked questions, including what tape I use on my watercolour paintings and how I get those pesky paint pens to work!
I hope you enjoy the conversation (hopefully more than Richie did) and if you check out the Supply List for my latest online course, Modern Mixed Media you can all the details on the items mentioned in this episode.
And if you want to join in on the course, registration is open until July 19 at 11:59 pm PDT.
