Supplies for Beginning Artists
I have a lot of people ask me, "What are some art supplies that a beginning artist should have?" Every artist is different, but generally what follows answers this question. Supplies for Drawing There is an endless amount of drawing materials available for artists. Therefore, choosing what supplies are relevant for the beginner can be overwhelming. It wouldn't be hard to find yourself with too many unless supplies, if you don't know what you're looking for. Because there are so many Drawing Supplies out there, I am going to sub-divide this category even further into "Black and White Drawing" and "Color Drawing"
Supplies for Black and White Drawing
- 3 or 4 quality soft Graphite Drawing pencils- I suggest 2B, 4B, and 6B. A regular #2(HB) pencil is also recommended.

- a blending stump or two
- high quality drawing paper of at least 11″ by 14″

Supplies for Drawing in Color
- High quality Colored Pencils- pay more for a high quality. If price becomes an issue, buy a pack that contains less colors. There is a huge difference in quality among colored pencil manufacturers.
