Whether you’re setting up a cozy art corner at home, teaching art in a homeschool, or learning to draw on your own, having the right supplies makes a huge difference. These are the art materials I personally use and recommend after years as a self-taught illustrator, art teacher, and children’s book creator. You’ll find trusted favorites for drawing, painting, sketchbooking, and more.
I’m proud to be a Blick Art Materials affiliate because they’re the supplies I genuinely use and trust. I use Blick products in my college-level art classes, in my elementary school art classes, and in my own illustration studio. I hope this curated list helps you build an art space that inspires you to create.
