What art supplies have you bought recently?

I haven't got any brushes apart from a toothbrush lol so I'll get one. Yes, I was impressed with the dissolving too. I used to like drawing this this kind of thing at school (oil pastels) so looking forward to trying more... Thanks for the tips

Hi Jade- I use the water soluble crayons for life drawing sessions (you can see my work over in the "human figure" forum) I use a waterbrush (Pentel brand are the best) in the sessions because I can't use brush and a water container in the crowded space.

Thanks for the recommendation Bethany, that's really helpful and your figures came out really well. Good to see just crayon and with water too.

Got some inktense pencils today. £5 off Hobbycraft voucher plus 25% off. Woop!

Inktense are a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Received a watercolor set I ordered. Unfortunately it was damaged... The packaging was tattered so I was expecting damages. The tin was dented (looked like someone ran over it...) so the wells were no longer useful. It also couldn't latch closed as a result. The second folding tray inside was dented and couldn't lay flat. And the tray that holds the pans was kind of rough as well. The paint pans were all fine, but I was kind of annoyed at the state of the tin. So I sent it back and requested a new one.
Hopefully it arrives in better shape.

Thank you! Good for you getting a replacement.. that sounds bad!they arrive in better shape.

Got some Baohong HP watercolour paper. Not up to Arches standard, but still alright.

If I may... hope you don't mind. Didn't bought it, but got it as a Christmas present. It is a cute, presentation card sized, very thin (about 4-5mm thick), box containing 12 color pencils, an eraser and a sharpener. Something to carry on a pocket so one may spring to answer the call of inspiration or satisfy the urge to draw at any moment. Here it is over the touchpad of my laptop to give you an idea

Very cute @txomsy .. handy for emergency sketching!
