These art tools help me the most

I get many questions about my favorite tools, and it’s been a few years since I last shared them with you, so today, I thought I would share a couple. All of them help me create an essential contrast in my art. It is a contrast, or “difference,” in my art that I love. It is the difference between control and out of control. Instead of a careful, perfectly made mark, I prefer mine to feel a little like they were made by mistake. It just seems so much more unpredictable.

The tools we use help us get the look and feel we desire. And it is different for everyone.
What is the one tool you love to use in your art?

Let us know in the comments below.

I hope your time in the studio today is surprising.
