Melissa said...

My imagination! And, I'm crushing on gouache right now.

Beulah Bee said...

Dear Alisa, so generous is this gift! I have a preference for inks because of their strong color and especially the transparent colors and fluid nature. If I were to win this gift I would very much like to purchase a Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India Ink set as I have always wanted to try them. Thank you and Happy Birthday.

Suki Allen said...

I am a pen addict, my current favorite is the Pentel Pocket Brush pen. It loves to make skiiiinnnny lines, it loves to make juiiiccyyy big brush strokes, and it's refillable. A+ in my book! Happiest of birthdays, hope this trip around the sun is your best yet!

AudMama said...

That changes on a regular basis. Right now, I'd say, polymer clay.

Staci said...

Definitely watercolor and have been enjoying mixed media lately

Lorraine said...

If I were to only pick one it would probably be paper. Hope you're having a wonderful birthday week.

Pitt pen in black. Actually, any kind of pen!!

I mostly use pens and markers, but I love to use acrylics and acid dyes or procion dyes, too. And crayons! there's nothing that beats the smell of a new box of crayons!

Anonymous said...

Paper!! Followed closely by paint. = )

Nickalli Braaten said...

My new love is paint pens! Even better if they have a little glimmer of glitter!

magpi said...

Judging from my supply closet(!)...it's paper...always so hard to 'spend out' the goodies I have! (Nice to see the shout out for blockprinting supplies at DB - I'm wanting to do more of that!)

Jana Johnson said...

Let's see, this week my favorite art supply is Qor turquoise watercolor paint :). So many fun opportunities - thank you! Happy Birthday week!

Linda Kerns said...

My favorite art supply is the water brush, and you are the one who introduced it to me. During the past year, we have not had water available in our art room. However, I can fill up the water brushes before class and we're able to proceed with watercolor lessons. Thanks for the tip! Happy birthday!

Kate Burroughs said...

My favorite art supply is watercolor tube paints. Thanks for a chance at the $100 gift certificate!
Aloha, Kate

Jodi Marie said...

Oh my word, it's far too difficult to pick just one! My husband once told me that I could open up an art supply shop with how many things I stow away in the closet :) Thinking about it...I will never say no to a good set of Prismacolor double-ended art markers, specifically the paint brush tipped. I think because they are so portable and can provide quality color no matter where you are. I also love love love Pentel Aquash water brushes. You can use them in so many ways; with alcohol inks, water soluble crayons, watercolors and wc pencils, and so many more.

Nicole Maki said...

My Zig real brush watercolor markers are my current fave. Thanks, Alisa!

iHanna said...

It's a hard battle between acrylics and watercolor - I love both equally, though watercolors is my first love.

Mindy said...

Thanks so much for the opportunity! I love water-soluble oil pastels!

GardenScrapper said...

My favorite art supply is acrylic paint!

Kat said...

Faber-Castell PITT artist pen, B

Melanie Jade said...

It's impossible to choose one favorite because I LOVES my art supplies. But one I've recently discovered and started playing with is matte medium. I love using it to stick tissue paper, other artwork, napkins, stickers, and other bits and bobs to my art journal pages. It helps me create interesting backgrounds in a fun way. And who doesn't like to stick things together? It's fun. I use Liquitex brand.

Jamie said...

Sharpie!

Vicki said...

Daniel Smith watercolors for me. Thanks for asking!

Unknown said...

Watercolor markers. So easy to tote around, and makes it a lot simpler to get fine lines as compared to using a brush.

lemonade sandwich said...

Pitt Pens are my absolute must-have!

Emily Stowe said...

I love Sakura gel pens, especially the sparkly ones!

Silvia said...

Ok, this changes all the time, but I have just discovered Lamy pens and de Atrementis permanent ink to go in them and I am loving these to sketch with!

Roanfolk said...

Acrylic paint! I can't ever see myself not creating with it.

Unknown said...

My unipins!!

My watercolors!

Mary said...

Currently I'm into markers, paint pens, and colored inks. Happy Birthday Week!

Silvia said...

Ok, this changes ALL the time, but right now it's my new Lamy fountain pens with de Atramentis permanent ink. I love sketching with them!

Unknown said...

My favorite art supply (at the moment) are my water colors. Love love love to water color and I also like the Dick Blick liquid water colors too. They work so differently than regular water colors, gorgeous colors too! Love your blog, so many fantastic ideas presented, and daily too! Great!

carolinelb said...

Koi watercolors!

Dotti said...

Speaking of Dick Blick...I love his matte acrylics and the array of colors that are available!

Jami said...

My favorite art supply is TOTALLY new watercolors in the tube! I know they have a rinted color on the outside so you can kind of get the idea of what you're going to get, but really until you get it home, water it down, and lay it on the paper that's when you know! Basically I love the surprise! :D

Deb @ inner compass designs said...

Happy birthday. My faves are neocolor 2s, Gelly roll pens and posca paint pens.

Susan Jonsson said...

Golden acrylic paint.

Unknown said...

If I were stuck on a deserted island with only 1 type of art supply it would be . . . . graphite.

robin metzler said...

I love my Rembrandt pastels. Alternating pastels and acrylic paint in mixed media on canvas! Thanks for the opportunity to spend $ at Dick Blick...my very favorite place to shop!

spindelmaker said...

My favorite art supply... probably water-soluable fabric. I´ve made some awesome fun things with freestyle machine embroidery on that. The fun part is, when I sew a face, I can make ten faces that look pretty similar, but when the fabric disappears, that´s when the face gets it´s personality. BuI´d need my Bernina sewing machine too ;-)

Arielle said...

So hard to name just one! I have a strange love of double-sided tape, Sharpies (both markers and pens), and book binding tape for making travel journals! Art supplies are just so much fun! Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!

MyDorbandt said...

Tough one! I would have to go with paints! So versatile!

Gramma Sue ~ Grampa Max said...

Gel pens!

Lauren said...

Those awesome brushes with the reservoir for water. Soooo perfect for my travel watercolors and great for my toddler to paint too.

CJG said...

Right now, I think it's my Micron pens. But, I truly love crayons and colored pencils! I wish I could make the leap into more sophisticated coloring tools (copic markers, for example, because I just love how they look!), but I fear my skills don't warrant it. I think I just need to take the leap!

Unknown said...

I'm really interested in Copic markers. I have a huge passion for drawing and I really want to try them out. I also like micron pens, I've tried them and they're fantastic! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!! good luck everyone!

Unknown said...

~Carla~ said...

I'm a watercolor girl!!!

Sheila said...

Hmmm...tough to choose just one. I would have to say paint.

Brig said...

Hmmm ... That's tough! At the moment I think Watercolour Liquid Inks. Colour, colour and more colour!

Unknown said...

This is difficult to decide, I would have to say prismacolour pencils, because they can be used on anything I do, I was going to say liquetex white gesso ( and as soon as this bottle runs out I am going to try the clear!! yes finally) but again I think the prisma's just stumps the gesso. And Happy Birthday!!

Anna said...

Watercolors and a mixed media sketchbook!

NatalieM said...

Colored pencils right now, still trying to figure out my favorite kind
