Bargain bin art supplies I can’t live without

Proof you don't need to break the bank to have fun drawing and learning!

The price tag on art supplies isn’t as important as you might think. I prove in the video above that paint sticks and a cheap pencil can be as much fun as the fancy stuff!

After a quick swatch & demo, I explore new ways to use our affordable treasures together. I take them to the library with a sketchbook I made from the cheap paper, then draw what’s around me.

I used these supplies, also a crayola paint stick.

The next day, I return to the park to use our color of the month and its complementary color, which I usually don’t like. The result shocked me!
