haahahh!
I love the expensive watercolor paper, the kind that is around $15 for a 4'x3' piece. It is the most thick textured bad-assicity that I cn find.
I use gouache watercolors for their opacity, and I prefer the russian gouaches, w3hich for some reason are just very vibrant and crisp, and retain their hue even when thinned out .
but I will use whatI have too.
I have tons of drawings and pieces made off office supplies, like liquid paper, marker, ballpoint, etc.
for my watercolors I like to use natural bristle brushes.
for my pen and brush and ink work I have to have water resistant india ink, and chinese bamboo brushes. they are the best for a liquid medium. I get some fantastic effects and the drawings always turn out kick ass.
I have not painted in oils in years and need to get ack into it for that is where the money lies.

the hardest thing i find with art supplies is the amount of animal products in them.. But i still ure sable brushes for everything i paint except my charcoal work, where i use uh, takylon? Sable hair esp loads up with so much paint or ink you can draw or paint without dragging for much longer. The takylon i like for ..
