POSCA markers review: choose the right tip for your project
My pick is the POSCA PC-5M for bold drawing and small craft projects. Start with a few colors, use sturdy paper, and prime the tip on scrap.
Paper & print
3 best paper cutters for cards, prints, and a creative desk
My first pick is the Dahle 507 for small art projects. Choose the Swingline for letter-size papers, or the Rotatrim for frequent studio work.

I would start with Holbein Artists' Gouache for a small palette you can rewet. Choose Liquitex Acrylic Gouache when you want dry layers to stay put.
