#tuesdaytoolbox

Toolbox Tuesday - I am still not up to a full days work yet in the studio shop but I was able to clean out both of my tool boxes. Got rid of a bunch bits, parts, and pieces that have been living in the boxes for way too long. I was also to organize everything into proper categories to make a tool or kit much easier to find. The other benefit was finding some tools and kits that were on sabbatical. Thanks for checking out and supporting my work. Feel free to share your tool shop setups, or how you keep your tools organized. I would enjoy checking it out. #tuesdaymotivation #toolboxtuesday #tooltuesdays #tuesdaytoolbox #toolbox #tool #tools #toolsofthetrade #craftsmantools (at Myers Wood Turning) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd8SdJRruAU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

For this week's #tuesdaytoolbox I got these lovely little #sketchbooks for Christmas. The three brown ones are handmade, eco-friendly paper bound in traditionally crafted Indian Buffalo leather. The pink and gold one is a simple, yet beautiful, little pocket notebook. Did you get any cool new art supplies over the holidays?

These are the the tools I use most in my watercolor work. Brushes: Rhapsody Kolinsky Sable artist brushes in sizes 0, 2, 4, 6, & 8. This is an expensive set of brushes and not necessary by any means to make good work but I love them. Paint: Dr. Ph. Martin's radiant concentrated water colors in a small variety plus a titanium white. I also have a cheap and portable set of Koi watercolors that I use sometimes. Pencil: Alvin Draft-Tec Retractable 0.5mm. It took me a bit to get used to this sized lead but I find it is well suited for getting the detail I want. Eraser: Paper Mate Tuff Stuff eraser stick. It's like a mechanical pencil for an eraser and everyone I know uses one, it's great for sketching and works well on most types of paper. Pens: A set of Steadtler triplus fine liner pens with a 0.3mm tip. They blend nicely with the watercolors when wet and help with crisp edges. Lastly, but certainly not least, my white Gelly Roll pen. I don't know what I will do if they ever stop making this pen. I use it for highlights and lightening areas that have dried too much. Hope you find this #tuesdaytoolbox useful!
