The art supplie store in my heart

One of the first art supplie stores i whent to on my own as a young man, 16 years old, was Jordi Konstnärshandel. We had just moved into the big city in Sweden: Stockholm. Today one can almost call it an institution among the towns various art supplie stores. The two young women then working there are now owners of the store and still work there. Today on a new address. When i go traveling to other cities in other countries i love visiting the local art store. I know other creatives like myself doing the same. There is always a feel of feeling home away from home at these stores. I always buy something from the stores abroad. Would almost be a crime not to. And i always treasure those a little extra.

We have all got the same question at one point I guess or heard it at least: ”which is your favorite colour”. I have many. One big fav is Paynes Grey. Here a great looking acrylic colour tube with Paynes Grey from Windsor Newton. Ps. I personally prefer Heavy Body acrylics so i actually use another brand than the one in the picture – Cryla from Daler Rowney – but this one looks great! And ita a decent one from Windsor Newton. Not heavy body though.

Great sketch drawing pad as well from Lana. French paper with a nice grain surface and slightly yellow in colour.
