What’s in My Artist Drawer?

Jun 30

*Blog #4, my friend. This one’s all about soft «behind-the-scenes»…*

"Please don’t clutter my studio with a bunch of stuff I won’t be able to organize," she said — right before diving into watercolor painting.

By "stuff" I meant every possible art supply I had no idea how to store properly.

Well… life didn’t teach me much, and years later I’m still in the same place — surrounded by paper, scissors, glue — with bits flying everywhere. It’s chaotic, sometimes frustrating… but hey, I have learned a thing or two.

There’s a bit more structure now:
→ I don’t buy everything at once.
→ I overthink every purchase (classic).
→ And I actually make conclusions based on what works.

Since all of this mess also brings me joy and inspiration, here’s a quick breakdown of my current setup:
• 2 pairs of scissors
• 2 rulers (scratch that, make it 3)
• One black pen, one white
• Two bottles of perfume on the desk (because: girly vibes!)
• A barely-there nail polish (just in case)
• Several PVA glues
• Sticky tape
• And paper. Oh, paper!

Right now, I’m using heavyweight paper (80lb/216gsm), but I’m thinking of switching to something lighter to explore new possibilities. I’ll definitely keep you posted here on the blog if that happens.
