Sometimes, it’s the little things that make all the difference in my art. Items like these here, a pencil box, eraser, viewfinder \u2013 these are items I cherish and can never get enough of. If you’re looking for something small, here are 5 items on my list to help you get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nNitram Charcoal <\/em>Holder<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nCharcoal holders can feel like a luxury, but in reality, are practical options for getting the most from your charcoal. They allow artists to use charcoal sticks effectively when they’ve worn down to small stumps that are difficult to hold otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great For<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n- Charcoal Artists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Artists who enjoy getting the most from their materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nView on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Tombow Mono Zero Eraser<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nThere are many great erasers out there to choose from, but a specialty eraser like this can really stand out. These erasers are easy to control and designed for precision and detailed work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great For<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n- Graphite and Charcoal Artists.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Artists who prefer precision in their work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nView on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Art Alternatives Wood Box Pencil Pod<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWell-crafted pencil boxes can make for a welcomed luxury over the old plastic bags and cheap containers that many artists, including myself, resort to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great For<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n- All Artists<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The unorganized artist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nView on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Portable Phone or Tablet Holder<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhen using a phone or tablet for a reference image, it’s helpful to have something that’s portable, moveable, and easy to use. Something that can accommodate changing light and a variety of canvas sizes is particularly useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great For<\/h6>\n\n\n\n\n- Artists of all media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Artists who use phones or tablets for references.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/a>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\nView on Amazon<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Drawing Supplies & Drafting Tools<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nProportional dividers, value finders, color wheels, and view finders, all in one place? That sounds exciting! While I may have many of these tools already, they wear down or get covered in paint, artists can always use a new set! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studio Gifts for Creative Explorers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is always exciting to find new ways of being creative and it’s even better when you can do so in your own space! The following items will help make the art studio more functional for anyone. A few handy picks include practical lighting, organization solutions that won’t take up too much floor or table top area (and let us never forget about how important those little moments between projects are), tools suited toward each individual artist style – whether they prefer watercolor painting over acrylics\u2013or vice versa!\u2013as well as anything else we may need while working on our pieces at home. Here are 5 items that could spark ideas for the artist on your list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
About the Brush Rack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This innovative brush rack stores up to 28 brushes in various-sized holes, from \u00bd” diameter to \u00be” diameter. It also includes eight hanging\/drying slots with foam grips. A clear acrylic base protects against drips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Easy Assembly | Easy-View Racks | Easy to Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Like many artists I know, I have more tubes of paints and brushes than I can keep organized. Organizers like this one frequently catch my eye as a I tell myself that, one day, I’ll create more order in my studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This product makes it easier for artists to clean brushes. It’s made from silicon , which makes it gentile on brushes as you scrub to clean them from paint and easy to clean up afterward. Good brushes can be expensive, and cleaning them properly is important for longevity. This products should save money in the long-run by reducing brush costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For painting and sketching on the go, this is a clean and simple solution. This is compact and easy, allowing artists to customize it by loading it with the colors they prefer. I particularly love the reservoirs for holding water!<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to traditional brushes, having tools like these to scrape and mold paint can reveal new techniques and effects. Instead of looking for old cards, cardboard, and other random scraps from the trash, these tools provide a range of options all within easy reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, it’s the little things that make all the difference in my art. Items like these here, a pencil box, eraser, viewfinder \u2013 these are items I cherish and can never get enough of. If you’re looking for something small, here are 5 items on my list to help you get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Charcoal holders can feel like a luxury, but in reality, are practical options for getting the most from your charcoal. They allow artists to use charcoal sticks effectively when they’ve worn down to small stumps that are difficult to hold otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many great erasers out there to choose from, but a specialty eraser like this can really stand out. These erasers are easy to control and designed for precision and detailed work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well-crafted pencil boxes can make for a welcomed luxury over the old plastic bags and cheap containers that many artists, including myself, resort to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When using a phone or tablet for a reference image, it’s helpful to have something that’s portable, moveable, and easy to use. Something that can accommodate changing light and a variety of canvas sizes is particularly useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proportional dividers, value finders, color wheels, and view finders, all in one place? That sounds exciting! While I may have many of these tools already, they wear down or get covered in paint, artists can always use a new set! <\/p>\n\n\n\n This article contains affiliate links that help us earn a small commission from purchases \u2014 at no additional cost to you.
