Art supplies survival kit when you're so close to eyes surgery - materials for ArtCraft review:)

Hi, guys!

In one of my previous posts I promised to make a short review about art supplies that form my survival kit at the moment, when I must avoid digital art and have to make everything with traditional mediums, since I'm restoring from the first eyes surgery and preparing for the second one.

By the way want to say a few words about how everything goes after fixing my retina with laser. It's fine:) But still I can't make any serious physical efforts - I immediately feel that my eyes are here. In my head. And they're against such behavior:) But in all the rest - I'm really fine, and can't wait for the second operation.

Now to the survival kit. Here it is:

I want to talk a bit about each item separately. So:

With help of this magical watercolor I create my starry sky on watercolor paintings. I use a rough brush made from pig bristle to splash the white on both: wet and completely dry watercolor. First - to create wide splashes, second - to create dots.

Faber Castell liner, black, size S. This one I use (or similar to it) to create black outline for watercolor artworks.

Three brushes made from columns fur, three different sizes. I use the biggest one to create splashes on wet paper, and the smaller ones to work directly with the objects in my watercolor art. Such brushes combine properties of squirrel and synthetic brushes, they're both: keep a lot of water inside, and at the same time are really elastic.

Set of Faber Castell sepia liners. I use all the set to work with my graphic art.

Set of White Nights watercolor, my "magic wand" in the world of art. My hubby bought it for me when I was only a beginner, and it's still with me. Time to time I replace colors, and the box already looks really "used", but I really love when my art supplies look in such way, it makes me feel more free about using them. So if you fear using your new, super perfect mediums - spoil them a bit first lol:)

Sketchbook with craft paper for my graphic art. A3 size, to have enough space for the fight:)

And bonus:)

A lot of you guys asked me what medium do I use for whites in graphic art. Here it is, showing my secret again:)

It really can write on everything, on regular paper, on watercolor and colored pencils. I highly recommend to have it if you're seeking for some great white:)

So, that's all, all my survival kit for now:) When my second operation will be done - I will be back to digital again. Hope you found this post somehow useful:)

I wish you all the best and will be happy if you'll support me with vote:)

Love, Inber
