If you’ve ever wanted to dip your toes into vibrant ink illustration, now’s the perfect time to take the plunge! Inks are a joy to work with—fluid, bold, and beautifully blendable. Whether you’re a seasoned illustrator or a beginner looking to explore colour in a new way, inks are perfect for adding that extra splash of life to your work.

In this blog we will guide you through some of the materials and equipment you may need such as storage for your painting tools, water containers, watercolour paints, brushes, sketchbooks, graphite pencils, watercolour pencils and palettes. 

As the promise of warmer weather approaches we need to dust off our brushes and watercolour paints and prepare to embrace the outdoors again! If you always wanted to paint outdoors, but didn't know where to start, read this two part blog for guidance and this could be the year for new beginnings!
