Sketchbook Practice: Mixed-Media Supply List

ByKarina Rovira
  • Sketchbook: you can watch the video (Link Here) but as a rule of thumb I suggest an A4 or A5 sketchbook, with paper at least 150gsm or more.
  • Loose watercolor paper, rough, 200/300gsm
  • Loose toned paper, kraft paper is ok too or we can recycle paper bags
  • Tracing paper or satin paper or any semitransparent paper
  • Scissors, stick glue, masking tape
  • Some medium for line art (anything between graphite pencils between 3b and 7b, pigment liners, fountain pens, rollerpoint pens… look what you have around before buying new things)
  • Some medium for color (pastels, watercolor, gouache, acrylics… again, whatever you have we will make it work and discover new ways of using it)
  • Something white (either pastels or watersoluble pencils or gel pens or markers)
  • A watersoluble medium of choice (either pencils or pastels or inks, sometimes old liner pens or fountain pens are watersoluble, or some markers like tombows.)
  • Brushes (round tip is better) if you have to buy get the pentel waterbrush round/large tip one.

Drawing ourselves out of our shells

A testimonial from a reluctant online student: The class hours flew by so quickly and the experience gave me the momentum to dig out my desk making it usable again and not merely the repository for every random paper that enters my apartment.
