Some of My Favorite Art 'Stuff'

I have missed blogging a new painting each day, so I thought I would make a list of my favorite art stuff. I am sure this is not all of them!
I haven't been able to get to my art room either because of ice or being gone.

Here is the list along with photos for you to see my most used 'stuff' 
The prospect tool is the most awesome thing in my art room. I use it to draw and measure. They are pretty cheap. I added one website, but there are other places that have them. 'Maybe' Jerry's?  What you do is: decide what size you want your drawing and set the middle slot thing. you measure with one end and the bottom end will be the exact size of the enlargement. I know that probably doesn't make sense, BUT it works! You can also turn it around and use the bottom and reduce the size of something you want to draw.

1. Favorite Aprons

2. Heritage Easel-from Hayneedle.com and it is a floor easel too. it has the telescoping legs.

 








3. Drink carrier (that I am collaging as I go) I use it to carry stuff and it is a great Ipad holder

4. Lightbox

9. Prospect Tool . You move the white section to determine the size of your drawing.
