New video: Essential drawing supplies to help you get started
|
Hey there, Reader! I've been drawing on and off for roughly 9 years. As you can imagine, I've tried a fair share of drawing art supplies during that time. I don't like labels, but I could call myself an art supply minimalist. I don't own too many art supplies, but the ones I own work wonderfully for me. Some art supplies I've tried have been absolutely great! Whereas other supplies were... Well, to be honest, a total waste of money. And in today's economy, artists are becoming more intentional about spending money on art supplies. Of course you want to get the best value for your investment. However, you also want to make sure that your art supplies are good quality and will last you a long time. But researching art supplies can take a looooong time. Reading reviews, comparing products and companies, considering price versus value, etc. So what do you do? To help you save time, effort, and energy, I'm sharing with you my all-time favourite drawing art supplies in a brand new YouTube video titled Drawing art supplies for beginners | Essential drawing supplies to get started. In this new YouTube video, you learn:
Specifically, I break down each art supply in detail by sharing the pros and cons of each tool. My intention is to help you make smart and informed purchasing decisions so that you buy drawing supplies that suit your artistic needs and fit your personal budget.
By the time you're done watching, you'll have a solid understanding of the essential drawing supplies that'll set you up for success with drawing and sketching. ACTION STEP: Watch the video all the way through. Take note of any drawing supplies you're missing, you want/need to upgrade, or that you want to try for the first time. Use this information to make smart and informed purchasing decisions! Talk to you again soon, Your art instructor, Miranda |

Hey there, Reader! If you're a new subscriber, I'd like to wish you a warm welcome to this newsletter! And if you're a long-time subscriber, I want you to know that I'm really glad to reconnect with you. It has been a while since we last spoke. So allow me to take a moment to recap what has happened since the last newsletter I sent you on November 12th, 2025. In a nutshell, I succumbed to burnout. I felt physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. I won't go into details...
Hey there, Reader! In case no one has told you this recently, I want to remind you that: You are worthy of being an artist. You are enough. Your art is enough. You matter. Therefore, your art matters. Your art is valuable whether anyone sees it or not. You are exactly where you're meant to be on your artistic journey. Art is not a competition. You don't need to compare yourself to anyone else. Take your time. Art is not a race, and there is no finish line to cross. Practice makes progress....
