HANNAH'S Top Tools for Aspiring Artists

"There are no must-have items to create art. You can use what you have if you are low on budget, and sometimes that can make the work even cooler. Paint with coffee. Get free partially used house paint at the hazardous waste facility. Use your phone camera for photography until you can upgrade. That being said, here are some of my personal favorite tools as an artist."

I love that they are portable and easy to travel with.

My sketchbook

My glass dip pen it is 100% the most therapeutic art supply I have ever used and allows me to sit and draw for hours.
