The Finest® Artists’ Watercolor Paint has rich pigments of color and is designed to ensure a fluid, even wash when mixed with a little bit of water. 

GRUMBACHER® Goldenedge® Watercolor Brush

The round shape of the Goldenedge® brush makes it perfect for small details and delicate lines, but also for broader strokes and washes. It’s made from high-quality synthetic sable hair, and has a brass ferrule to keep the handle and brush in place. 

GENERAL’S® Sketch & Wash® Pencil

Get the interesting and organic shapes you want with GENERAL’S® Sketch&Wash® Pencil. Practice your color washing technique by gently brushing water over your pencil lines to replicate dramatic gestural colors and shapes. When your pencil wash dries, you can easily erase any marks you don’t want.

January 2015

One of our New Years’ resolutions for 2015 is to add more color into our lives. The Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencil is what will start this resolution on the right foot. This pencil packs a punch with its bold color, smudge-proof lead, and easily blendable pigments. Since“Polychromos” means “many colors,” we think it might be a good idea to grab the whole set online. 

COPIC SKETCH MARKER

Brighten up your wintery, snowy days with a vibrant Copic Sketch Marker. With two different ink nibs, you can create vivid strokes and shapes of all kinds. Two standard perks to this Copic marker: they are refillable and the nibs are interchangeable. 

MARVY LEPEN TECHNICAL DRAWING PEN

Calling all cartoonists out there–we’ve got an awesome new pen for your imaginative drawings! The Marvy LePen Technical Drawing Pen is made for fine line work on finished drawings or typography experiments. The deep black ink resists bleed-through, so give it a try on your RENDR® Paper to see how high quality it is. 

RENDR® PAPER

Kick off the new year with fresh drawing pages at your finger tips. RENDR® Paper has a crisp white finish and 100% No Show Thru Paper. This allows you to draw on both sides of the paper without having your work bleed through the other side of the page. We recommend using your Copic Sketch Marker here, but before you use the mini paper pack, give the pages a gentle bend to flatten out. 

6" STAINLESS STEEL RULER BY EXCEL

This nifty little ruler has 32nds, 16ths, and millimeters on the front and the decimal equivalents on back side. Bring this helpful tool with you everywhere by attaching it to your sketchbook or shirt pocket with the clip gauge.
