Hey everyone! Ever felt like your art space is a bit of a mess? Been there, totally get it. Well, good news—I’ve found some seriously cool stuff that made my art life way simpler. These things are like unsung heroes for artists, and I’m excited to spill the beans. So, grab a seat, and let’s chat about the stuff that turns your art corner into a chill and creative zone. Simple, fun, and maybe a bit life-changing! 🎨
1. Art Storage Rack with Caster Wheels
When I was starting as an artist, you wouldn’t believe the mess I had in my studio with canvas boards, frames, and drawing boards all over the place. Until I found the godsend, one random art supply that some artists never realize they need: the Art Storage Rack. This baby comes with caster wheels – and let me tell you, those tiny wheels are nothing short of a miracle.
2. Overhead Camera Mount with Ring Light
Remember when you realized you wanted to showcase your art to the world through YouTube but had one minor issue: holding your iPhone with one hand and painting with another? I’ve been there. After a string of hilarious but embarrassing “marshmallow-smudged” videos, I found the solution in an Overhead Camera Mount with a Ring Light. This flexible arm stand stems compatible with iPhones, as well as Logitech webcams.
3. Meeden Beech Wood Tabletop Easel & Sketchbox Artist Easel with Storage
Ever try to balance a paint palette on one knee, a canvas on the other, with paint brushes dancing between your teeth? You can kiss those acrobatic days goodbye with this Adjustable Solid Beech Wood Tabletop Easel & Sketchbox! This contraption (I call mine Beechy) offers a place for everything and puts everything in its place, with added storage compartments as a generous bonus.
What’s more, Beechy is adjustable! Whether you’re as tall as a giraffe or as petite as a pixie, you can adjust Beechy according to your needs. And the warm embrace of the beech wood adds a dash of elegance to your art station. This isn’t just a supply, it’s your devoted sidekick!
4. Artist Glove, Drawing Glove
Trust me, we have all tried to remove those pesky graphite or pastel marks from our hands, and the struggle is real. But let me introduce the Artist Glove. This handy (no pun intended) accessory is meant for left or right hand and allows you to draw without worrying about hand smudges.
Think of it like your assistant who applies powder to your sweaty face before a camera shoot. You feel all professional, the paper is smudge-free, and you’re creating a masterpiece. No stains, no worries! Now that’s progress!
5. Support Pillow for Office Chair, Back Support Pillow
As an artist, we can pretty much set up a studio anywhere. From the office to our cars, our hands know no boundaries. Back troubles from those long sessions, though—now that’s an unwelcome gift.
So, invest in a Support Pillow. The ones which can adjust heat and vibration are heaven-sent! An ergonomic back cushion, it improves your posture, provides pain relief – it’s a portable masseuse, really. Once you start using it, you’ll wonder how you ever survived without it.
6. Paint & Art Wipes Paint Remover Wipes
Last but not least, let’s talk about Paint & Art Wipes. Trust me when I tell you, these are more essential than coffee on a Monday morning. Spilled some paint? Wipe it. Need to correct a little art mishap? Wipe it. Smudged your masterpiece? Double wipe it!
They’re the unsung heroes of the art world. Think of them as tiny, artistic firefighters, rescuing you from all sorts of sticky situations. So don’t dismiss the power of a good art wipe, they’re your ultimate backup.
Well, there you have it, folks! Your surprise list of random art supplies that you didn’t know you needed. I assure you, once you equip your studio with these items, you’ll find yourself creating art like a pro. Be it painting, sketching, or filming your creations—these supplies have you covered.
