Selecting the Ideal Paper for School Projects
Remember, the right paper can make a significant difference in the outcome of your project. By investing in high-quality paper from The Sydney Art Store, you ensure a lasting performance and a seamless artistic process.
Building a Reliable Art School Kit
A well-rounded art school kit supports learning across multiple mediums and techniques, giving students the flexibility to meet course requirements and explore new skills. Basic drawing tools like HB to 8B graphite pencils, kneadable erasers, and blending stumps are essential for tonal studies and linework. Watercolour pans, acrylic paint tubes, and beginner oil paint sets allow students to experiment with colour, layering, and composition. A selection of brushes—flat, round, filbert, and detail—will prepare artists for various applications across canvas and paper. Accessories such as masking tape, paper towels, water jars, and aprons are often overlooked but make the creative process smoother.

Entering art school can feel overwhelming, but having the right supplies from the start builds confidence and readiness. A complete art kit includes drawing basics, painting materials, and general studio accessories, ensuring that students are equipped for any assignment that comes their way. Reliable materials prevent frustration and allow students to focus on skill-building rather than troubleshooting poor-quality tools. Investing in artist-recommended brands for pencils, paints, brushes, and paper offers better performance and longer-lasting results. Supplies like spray fixative, masking fluid, or gel mediums can support advanced techniques as students progress through their coursework.
