The pocket-sized Kaweco Special Short mechanical pencil is ideal for precise and graphic drawing. With its comfortable 10 mm diameter, the pencil sits comfortably in the hand and prevents fatigue while writing. Its handy 10.5 cm length makes it ideal for travel. Its high-quality, precise mechanism is made in Japan.
Why we like it: Beautifully balanced and a pleasure to use, this compact mechanical pencil feels solid in the hand without being heavy. The matte black aluminium body has a satisfying weight and precision to it, with a minimal octagonal design that looks as good as it writes. Ideal for travel, notes, or fine drawing and built to last.

It was recommended to me by someone and having used Arches I found it was a good cheaper alternative. It worked well with granulating paints.

Tracedown is a product I have used before. This pack was reasonably priced, and arrived in good condition and very quickly. Thank you.

As always, Arches oil painting paper is wonderful especially for oil & cold wax medium work where layering & texture is king!

I bought this brush some time ago based on a recommendation from someone— can't remember who though. I then forgot about it until I received a request to write a review from The Southbank Art Company. I've now tried it, and I've found it to be a lovely brush to use. It lays down the paint beautifully. It also holds a lot of paint enabling continued use without having to return to the palette so often. The point of the brush is good too, giving a lovely narrow lines where necessary.
I'll continue to use this brush, and will probably look at buying other sizes too.
