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:

  • ✏️ Which drawing supplies are essential for beginners who want to get started with drawing
  • 🖼️ The best products in the categories of graphite pencils, sketchbooks and paper, erasers, sharpeners, blending tools, and pen & ink
  • 💰 Which drawing supplies to invest your money in to get the best value

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! I know what it’s like to see the weeks and months pass by... and realize you’re still not where you want to be with watercolour. 😩 You feel stressed because you still haven't figured out how to layer watercolours without messing up 😤 You feel frustrated because you still can't figure out how to balance the paint-to-water ratio properly 😭 And you still feel overwhelmed from all the disorganized information you find on Google and YouTube I get it, my friend. I relate to you...

Hey there, Reader! As a mixed media artist, I love playing around and experimenting with different mediums. But sometimes I need to take a break from one while I hone my skills in another.

So while I create new video content (new YouTube videos are in the works!), I've decided to share with you some fun watercolour tutorials to inspire you to paint something new...
