Materials

All of my work is created using the finest materials to assure its beauty and longevity. You can be certain that each piece of work that leaves the atelier is meticulously crafted and will uphold these strict quality standards.

Paper

Perfecting the art of papermaking since 1492, Arches watercolor paper is a top choice for artists due to its exceptional quality. Its trademark gelatin sizing enhances water absorption, leading to better color blending and resistance to warping. The durability of the paper allows for multiple washes and techniques without compromising its integrity. Arches' consistency and variety cater to different artistic needs, while its natural cotton fibers and cylinder mold process ensure stability and longevity. With a rich history dating back to the 1490s, Arches has established itself as a trusted brand among artists worldwide.

Nujabi fine handmade Indian watercolor papers are handmade sheet by sheet in a paper making method with more than a thousand years of tradition behind it. Since this is a handmade sheet the surfaces may be a bit different than what you are used to. These unique sheets are made with all natural deckle edges which give the paper a rustic, crafted look.

Paint and Pens

Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache are brilliant, smooth and extremely opaque water-based colors, perfect for creating bold, vibrant artworks. Renowned for their rich formulas and iconic colors, Winsor & Newton has been a top choice for artists (and even Queen Victoria) since their inception in 1841.

Pigma ink, invented by Sakura over 30 years ago, continues to be the most reliable permanent ink on the market today. Artists, consumers, the government, and scientists consider Pigma Micron a necessary basic tool for any archival-quality, handwritten project.

The Fudenosuke Hard Tip Brush Pen by Tombow creates fine lines and medium strokes with a single pen. The rich black pigment provides a vibrant and long-lasting mark, while the odorless, water-based ink ensures a smooth writing experience. Known for their quality and innovation since 1913, Tombow is a top choice for artists and calligraphers alike.
