4 Must Have Art Supplies for the Artist in You

Whether you are a serious artist or a casual dabbler, the right set of art tools can escalate the quality of your work and make all the difference. We, at Story, have brought together under one roof, the must have art essentials for artists from every walk of life. Here's our list:

  • Drawing Paper: - Drawing paper comes in various sizes and textures. Selecting the right kind of paper to sketch and paint, is the most important decision. There is Smooth paper, Fine Grain paper and Course Grain paper to name a few. Acid-free papers have an edge over the regular papers when it comes to painting. If used with water, the pH level will be balanced in this paper. This in turn will help to preserve the art work for a longer period of time. So make sure, you find the right pad. Make drawing a real pleasure by choosing from a gamut of drawing papers from STORY. 

     
  • Colors:-  Other than pencil art, every other type of painting needs colors to enhance the ideas of the artist on the canvas. Colors play a pivotal role when it comes to painting. And, when proper colors are used, an artist achieves perfection in his painting. There are different types of colors and paints to choose from depending on your requirements.

    1. Oil Paints
    2. Acrylic Paints
    3. Watercolors
    4. Wax Crayons
    5. Sketch pens



 
  • Canvas & Easels:- Canvas might not be the first choice for amateur painters, but intermediate and advanced painters love to paint on canvas. Canvas has endured the test of time and emerged as a favorite for professional artists. One of the prime reasons why canvas is used widely is because of it's longevity. If you are interested in creating a permanent work of art, you can't do any better. Canvas and easels go hand in hand. Easels act as a stand to hold the canvas and is sometimes used to display finished paintings. At Story, we have different kinds of canvas and easels available for your next art project!


 
  • Paintbrush:- The hues fuse together when the Paintbrush blends them on the palette. It is your magic wand which weaves multiple colors across the canvas. Each paintbrush serves a different purpose and hence they come in an array of sizes, shapes and bristles. There is round, pointed round,flat and filbert paintbrushes to name a few.
