Creativity is just Around the Corner

Learn about Your Art Supplies!

This week, we are highlighting some art supplies that we think are extremely useful that you may not have used before! All materials below can be purchased at our store in Freehold.
We always teach our students to use blending stumps with drawing with pencil or charcoal! These paper tortillions are more precise than using your fingers to smudge a drawing and give it a smooth, realistic finish.

Sometimes when you are shading a drawing, especially a large one, constantly sharpening your pencil can get annoying! The perfect solution is using one of these jumbo graphic sticks! They never need to be sharpened, and can really speed up the shading process.

This tool is always popular with the kids. Kneaded erasers are fun to play with, because they can be molded like clay, but they are also an extremely useful tool for erasing small spaces. The eraser can be shaped in any way necessary to erase out small areas. Also - they don't leave any dusty shavings behind.

While we still love classic watercolors and colored pencils, these watercolor pencils are the perfect combination of the two! It is much simpler to color when you want, and then blend with a paintbrush and water! 

Did you ever see paintings  in a museum that look 3-Dimensional? Using this modeling paste, you can make texture on a canvas before painting it to get the dimension you desire!

Just how important is CUSTOM FRAMING?

We think it makes all the difference! 

We can frame anything at our studio! Just stop by anytime we are open and we can help you! It can be a painting you have created during an art class here or something you have at home! Learn more at our custom framing page. 

There is no better way to display your photographs, paintings, drawings, memorabilia & more than with a custom frame. Our specialists will help you to choose a mat, frame or whatever else you need to accentuate the piece you are framing. We have a range of affordable to luxury frames to choose from...making sure we have something in your price range! Just let us know what you are looking for.
