By day I’m an elementary art teacher, but in my free time I like to create my own personal art! These are some of my must haves that I keep a supply of on hand at all times!

Professional Watercolour Sets
I love these brushes! They come in so many shapes/sizes and have the cutest little carrying case! They’re also budget friendly.

These pencil extenders are a must for getting all of the use out of those expensive colored pencils! They also just make pencils easier to hold in general and look cute!

My favorite alcohol markers! So many colors and there so vibrant and smooth!
