Gifting on a budget (but still with pizazz)
A unique gift that an artists would all love! Perfect for when artblock creeps in.
Two Tumbleweeds Art Dice - Drawing Game
These brush pens have archival ink and are so easy to use. So easy, in fact, that sometimes I prefer it to a pencil when sketching. I go through these so quickly and know many artists would love a set as a gift.
Sakura Pigma Micron Brush Black Pen 4-Pack
Moleskines are still, in my opinion, the top tier sketchbook. I have rarely experienced bleed-through. They can hold multiple medias, but shine exceptionally when used for sketching and drawing.
Moleskine Art Sketchbook, Hard Cover, Large
Prismacolors are like the famous luxury line of colored pencils. They blend effortlessly. I remember being so excited to use the classroom prismacolor set during Art Class in High School. Our teacher invested in a full set! This set of 12 is a perfec...
Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils and Sets
An excellent white ink. A calligrapher would love this ink, but the opaqueness allows for the use of the ink on highlights for any medium.
Dr Ph Martins Bleedproof White
A wonderful gift to an art student or for a studio artist. These are the best clips to ensure your paper is attached to the board as you paint and super heavy duty. They lay completely flat against the board without leaving marks. You can also use th...

For those art supplies that are always a delight to have
The holy grail of watercolor paper. If you get an artist Arches paper, they'll definitely look at you in a different light. If you yourself struggle with watercolors, I ensure you it's probably the paper quality.

A single blackwing is enough to impress. But a whole box? Oh they will fall in love.
Blackwing Matte Pencils (Set of 12)

Stabilo CarbOthello Pastel Pencils - Set of 24, Assorted Colors
Nupastels are my absolute favorite hard pastels. They blend effortlessly and are comparably softer than other pastels. If you have never tried these, I do want to warn you to be very careful. Their softness and blendability make them quite fragile. Y...
Prismacolor Premier NuPastel Color Sticks - Assorted Colors, Set of 36
These Finetec Watercolors are from Germany and have the most gorgeous shimmer/pearl/metallic mica. The best part about these are that you can not only use them as watercolors, but as dip pen calligraphy ink. Simply place some water on the top and ble...
Finetec Artist Mica Watercolor Pans and Sets
A great quality varnish brush makes a wonderful gift. I've had some tricky brushes in the past that shed hairs onto the canvas during varnishing. The quality of a varnish brush matters as much as the technique to give you the finishing touch.
Gamblin Gamvar Synthetic Varnish Brushes
Holbein Gouache is my personal fav! Gouache has an interesting texture where you can paint with it both wet and dry. The opacity/transparency is inbetween that of acrylic and watercolor. The nature of this paint is quite challenging to work with as i...

Oil pastels are so fun and less messy compared to their dry counterpart. This makes it especially great for when you want to go to scenic places and create - without the extras of brushes and water cups. Sennelier is a superb brand.

High quality alternative to watercolor kolinsky brushes (which are not cruelty free). These brushes perform excellently.

Blick's canvas rolls are on a serious discount. Unfortunately the bigger priced, therefore bigger discount rolls are sold out. If you have a studio painter who likes to stretch their own canvases, I do suggest you ask them what type of canvas fabric ...

This price range tells me all about how special this artist means to you! If you want the best of the best for this artist I know you came straight here.
Oil paints in the professional grade are something many artists who are starting out or students can only dream of working with. Old Holland is one of the best.
