Hi Lia,

I love your artwork! Can you please in an upcoming post talk more about your favorite art supplies? I specifically want to know more about what kinds of pens and glue you use. Maybe you can do a blog post on the contents of your messenger bag?

Answer:
Thank you for writing.

Short answer (the babble free version):

Glue sticks (3M scotchbrand is fave)

Pens:
gel pens, micron .05 pens, sharpie poster markers, paint pens, ball-point pens

Lots of scrappy paper of the leftover variety. I keep little bins and boxes of them and then grab them when I'm ready to work.

watercolor paper, 140 lb. cold press

cheap acrylics: I do like the apple barrel kind alot

GESSO for thin pages

What's in my messenger bag:
