It was Sandra's job as a magazine columnist for Arts & Crafts and Art Materials Today, to test and recommend materials.

This is her top pick for working with

• Watercolor pencils
• Watercolor
• Ink

This hardbound sketchbook is like having a drawing board in your lap so you can paint and draw anywhere.

The paper is smooth enough for detail but rough enough to do fun effects with the water.

Note: This is also the tablet we use for Color Theory Charts because it will accept paint as well as pencil.

Paint your color charts and then add colored pencils or any other medium next to the swatch so that when you encounter any color you will know which colors should be used to create that hue.
