SUPPLIES I USE |
 |
In this section of my website, I am providing you with a list of products that you see me use in my art and instructional videos. Click "more" under each section to see demonstrations.
Liquin is compatible with oil paint and color pencil and I use this VERY USEFUL gel as a medium for any artwork that includes these two mediums. 
Below is a link to the paper that I use. I use Borden and Riley "Bleedproof" paper (108lb.) Direct Link: 

A "staple" in all of my artworks is Illustration and Paint Markers. I like to use the illustration markers as a substitute for doing an underpainting, when creating a painting....but the Prismacolor and Ad Markers are great on their own. Click "MORE" to see me do a demonstration. 

Perhaps, color pencils are the most underestimated artistic medium being used by artists today. Prismacolor, in my opinion, is the best brand of color pencil. It is highly pigmented and its binder mixes perfectly with oil paint and liquin (painting medium). I also love to use prismacolor pencils over a layer of illustration marker It is the only brand of color pencil that you will see me using in my videos. Click "more" for demonstration. 
A very useful tool! This will help an artist blend color pencils in a similar manner to paint. 


Believe me! This is helpful too, with paint markers!

To do pencil drawings, I use 6B, 4B, 2B. HB, 2H and 4H Pencils. I use a tortillion (also known as a blending stump or blending stub). Occasionally, I use a kneaded eraser, but I tend to prefer the one at the end of a pencil more. These tools can be found on the links below. Click "more" If you wish to see one of my drawing demonstrations. 

Oil Paint is the most versatile artistic medium. It can be applied in thin transparent glazes or thick opaque coats, with a wide range of possibilities in between. It is easy to mix a wide range of colors, tones and chromas with oil paint and it is possible to work in multiple layers; once the previous layer dries. My favorite oil paints are: 1.) Old Holland- Intense pigmentation and a wide variety of colors and opacities/transparencies. 2.) Gamblin- More cost effective than Old Holland. Pigmentation is equal to Old Holland, but the consistency of the paint is a slight grade below (in my opinion). 3.) Rembrandt- Cost effective, but quality paint.

I use both Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro 9 for my photomanipulations. Paint Shop Pro 9 is not for sale anymore.
