Favorite Supplies

Often I get asked what supplies I use and what my favorite supplies are. Find a list of the supplies in different categories that I use over and over again in my paintings and art journaling. Note that some of those links are affiliate links for which I receive a small percentage of any sales generated by the link.

My Favorite Paints and Mediums:

I mostly work with acrylic paints, fluid, soft body and heavy body, depending on the texture I want to achieve and the surface I work on. Besides that I use Acrylic Inks, Acrylic Spray Paints, Matte Medium, White Gesso, Water-soluble Wax Bars, Graphite and Charcoal over and over again.

My Favorite Surfaces and Substrates:

I usually work either on canvas or in an art journal. I also love to use raw canvas which I stretch myself over stretcher bars, or use the fabric to sew up stuff, and I love to use corrugated cardboard which I collect from shipping boxes.

My Favorite Pens, Markers and Writing Tools:

Most important for me is that my pens work on acrylic paint surfaces. I use different pens, markers and writing tools depending on the surface I use them on and the look I want to achieve.
