Beginner art supply starter kits

Starting a creative practice doesn’t require a lot of equipment. A Viviva Colorsheets palette and a watercolor pad give you everything needed to start painting. An Emily Lex Studio workbook gives you both the supplies and guided instruction. A Blackwing pencil and a Rhodia sketchpad are all you need for drawing.

Blackwing pencils are used by artists who take their tools seriously

John Steinbeck wrote with Blackwing 602s. Animators at Disney studios relied on them. The soft graphite core and flat eraser create a drawing experience that has earned a devoted following among artists across every discipline.
