Being creative is fantastic for your mental health, it's relaxing and rewarding, can lower your blood pressure, ease tension and you can end up with a piece of work you are really proud of! As Bob Ross said, “I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush.”
Included in the ARTdiscount Art Beginner's bundle are:
Docrafts Artiste x12 fineliner pen set
Derwent Academy 19 piece sketching set
ARTdiscount own brand Watercolour brush set
Staedtler Noris x12 Colour pencil set
Watercolour tin with brush, 12 colours
I'm no artist, but I regularly end up displaying my lack of artistic talent for reviews and blog posts, including painting a miniature canvas of a favourite memory a few years ago. My partner also took part and we both really enjoyed ourselves. Our end results may not be worthy of any smart gallery, but they've been proudly on display in our house ever since.
This bundle includes everything you need to start painting, sketching and drawing except the paper! These are good quality brands and together the bundle would cost over £30 to buy at manufacturers recommended prices. A nice present for anyone...
ARTdiscount stock a HUGE range of art supplies, including well-known brands, and they are very proud of their own range of products - which are all priced very fairly. They also have a partnership with One Tree Planted, to help offset their carbon footprint.
