There are thousands of different art supplies. However, using art supplies that make you feel good makes the secret sauce for creativity. When you use art stuff that is interesting, fun, and feels good in your hands, it’s much easier to get them to do what you want them to do. Isn’t that what you’re hoping for?
Art supplies that make you feel good will also make you feel more creative. You might have had your original experience with this in your first box of new crayons (especially if it was the big box with the sharpener in the back). You could draw some serious pictures with those.
So follow this fantastic chain reaction. Art supplies that make you feel good make you feel more creative. When you feel more creative, your brain makes Dopamine. When your brain gets a hefty dose of Dopamine, it naturally finds even MORE creativity. It’s a beautiful, VIRTUOUS CIRCLE. Read that again. Not a vicious circle but a virtuous one. That means it’s a circle that feeds on itself and creates more good stuff for you every time it goes around. That’s very good for every part of you that wants to make stuff.
The Reasons These Art Supplies That Might Make You Feel Good Are Our Favorites Are:
- They are affordable, so you don’t mind using them liberally.

Art Supplies That Make You Feel Good-Item #1.
These fluorescent glow-in-the-dark acrylics come under “pretty to look at and fun.” We wouldn’t do a large project with these because they are small bottles. But they are great for creating fluorescent effects on a project. They are perfect for adding stars, moon glow, or sunlight to…anything. They will also make anything glow in the dark.

We like this one for a lot of reasons. But the first one is that it’s such a “Wow!” kind of experience when you open it. Who doesn’t want to get a box of little packages full of new art supplies? It’s also fabulous to overcome an excuse for not trying something new. We don’t know what to get and don’t want to waste money getting the wrong thing. These 176 pieces of good art-making stuff would also make an incredible gift. How To Learn To Be An Artist When You Think You Aren’t Creative
This fun “feel good” box has watercolor pencils, water pens, graphite pencils, metal pencils, erasers, and blender stumps. It also has pencil sharpeners, miscellaneous art-making tools, and, as they say, much, much more. None of it is messy, and fits in a sweet little carrying case. It’s great to carry to the back porch or the coffee shop. This is perfect for a beginner or a veteran artist who needs new supplies.

Art Supplies That Make You Feel Good-Item #3.
This is another excellent kit for similar reasons. This one is a bit messier with its acrylic and watercolor paints. But it’s 175 pieces of everything you need to get started. Even experienced art lovers would find this fabulous because it all fits in one place in a lovely wooden box.
That makes it great for those with only a tiny space to create in or without a designated space at all. Pack the crayons, acrylic paint, oil pastels, watercolors, drawing pencils, and more in the handy holding space in the box. Then, quickly get it off the dining room table, ready for the next time you want to create.

Almost every art teacher encourages new art students to try several different kinds of brushes when they start. It’s exciting to see what you can create with each one. (yep, they all have different purposes) For those who are no stranger to using art brushes, the trick is to get them to use more than those same favorite three they’ve used for years.
Art brushes can get very pricey very quickly. But you also don’t want to get brushes that are too cheap. They fall apart and leave little paintbrush hairs in your masterpiece. This is a fun and affordable way to try new techniques and new brushes without getting too cheap or spending a fortune. These handy synthetic brushes come in a cool little carrying case. It keeps them stored well and helps them travel well. How To Learn To Be An Artist When You Think You Aren’t Creative

Art Supplies That Make You Feel Good-Item #5.
Do you love colored pencils but are not always sure how to get them to blend to get the effect you want? These are a lovely and fun answer. You get three racks of pencils in harmonious shades that blend beautifully into each other. They are good quality and go on paper in a soft, smooth stroke. Because they are cooperating colors, they can create a unique effect of blend and shade.
Using these pencils is fun for redrawing something. It will have an entirely different feel than your original with the blend and harmony of these shades. They seem to work for anything from portraits to landscapes and, again, come in a handy little storage tin to keep them organized.

This Japanese pen set is cool for drawing, lettering, calligraphy, or just doodling. Kuretake is an excellent company that specializes in illustration art. But they are also great for drawing, card making, or letter writing. This kit gives a broad and unusual collection of pen types. That makes it perfect for experimenting and trying something new (and we are all about playing with new ways to create and have fun).

Art Supplies That Make You Feel Good-Item #7.
You could consider this the “un pencil” or the “undo pencil.” Obviously, this is an effective eraser pencil for those tiny spaces that a regular eraser just won’t fit. Use them with charcoal, graphite, or colored pencils. But you can also use them to create highlights, sparkles of lights, or tiny details of white space. Sometimes, it’s the white space that makes the colored space make sense.
If you have a collection of art pencils, this is the big topper for your set. Everyone with colored pencils needs some eraser pencils to get the full effect. Creating what artists call “negative space” (it has nothing to do with anything bad. Just means spaces with no color) brings your creations to a whole other perspective.
