As an artist, finding the right art supplies is crucial. It tends to be a lot of trial and error as there aren’t many, if any, perfect products. We are all unique at what we do and because of that what works for some doesn’t work for others. I weigh out the pros and cons of each and sometimes I still find myself accepting, adapting to, and sometimes even playing into the product’s weaknesses because I appreciate the benefits it provides.
Additionally, it certainly helps when others share their experiences with the products they’ve tried. There are many videos available of product reviews and comparisons that are great resources, and though I don’t share any explanations at this time, below are the links to some of my favorite art supplies.
