Art Essentials
Everything you need to know about art supplies and materials for your creative journey.
Your Art Supply Guide
At Vefthranquazl, we help you understand which materials work best for different techniques and skill levels.
Drawing Pencils
Start with a basic set ranging from 2H to 6B. These provide the range needed for light sketches and deep shadows in your drawings.
Sketchbooks and Paper
Choose paper weight based on your medium. Heavier paper works better for wet media like watercolors, while lighter paper suits pencil and charcoal work.
Brushes
Invest in quality brushes with various shapes: round for detail work, flat for washes, and filbert for blending. Synthetic brushes work well for beginners.
Paints and Pigments
Begin with a limited palette of primary colors plus white. You can mix almost any color from these basics, developing your color theory skills along the way.
Maintaining Your Supplies
Proper care extends the life of your art materials and ensures consistent results in your work.
Brush Care
Clean brushes immediately after use. Use appropriate cleaners for oil and acrylic paints. Store brushes bristle-up to maintain their shape.
Storage Solutions
Keep pencils in cases to prevent tip damage. Store papers flat in dry conditions. Seal paint tubes tightly to prevent drying.
Work Environment
Set up your workspace with good lighting. Natural light is ideal for color accuracy. Ensure proper ventilation when working with solvents.
