Top 5 Art Tools – Being an artist, in the current times, one needs to post daily on the social media. I post a lot of my work process videos on Instagram, Youtube and Pinterest. As a result, I end up getting a large number of queries in my inbox related to the tools I use for making my artwork.
A lot of you have asked me questions about which brand of brushes I use. Sometimes the queries are about which varnish I use on my wooden and upcycled functionl art. The paints, the ink pen and the chalks also get their fair share of questions.

So today, I decided to write down a simple blog post answering all such questions about my top 5 Art Tools. I will also add link to the products or similar products found on amazon to make the buying a little easier. Some of these products have found use in my art processes. Others, I have bought for my daughter who also is a brilliant artist for her age. I guess it is in our genes indeed!

Some tools have been with me since my high school, or art school days. They are quite old now but still work fine. But if amazon has a listing for same items, they fall under the expensive price category.

My Top 5 Art Tools

Most of my drafts are done by hand, with a chalk on the wooden surface. I found this set of chalk pencils, with easy grip to draw, in a stationery store a few years back. These are still in use in my studio, and I have a feeling they will last me long time!

I use very basic art brushes for my wooden artworks. I don’t use natural bristle brushes as I need to paint on rough wooden textures sometimes. These Acrylic Bristle Brushes last much longer in my case. I also don’t indulge in very expensive brushes for the same reason.

The colors used in my upcycled functional art, most of the time are Guache. I make my own guache paints at the studio. I create these natural colors, myself from flowers petals, roots and leaves too. I have worked on some projects in the past with chalk paints too. They yielded good results. But as I work on rough, raw wood, I prefer natural colors more often. These colors keep my work eco-friendly

I hope this post helps you in finding the appropriate art tools for your hobby. I also hope that I was able to answer some of your question through this.
