These light reflector screeens are very useful for  both adding soft light  when I am taking a photo and to difuse light. I mainly use the ehite one.

Love this bracket as I can move it anywhere in the studio, attach it to chairs, easels, desks, table, etc. I holds both my phone and my iPad even with the case.

I bought this set of lights  to take photos of my work. I use them for that purpose as well as for just lighting the studio. I love the quality of light it give me as I can adjust intensity and color temperature

This wipe out tool is fantastic for reworking a drawing on a fresh oil, wiping fresh paint and it's what I like to use most for signing my paintings

I love this set of watercolour brushes as they keep a fantastic point, come in three sizes and  they have the cap to protect them when put away.

My viewfinder is not as clean as this one as it's been used so much!! Use it both in the studio sometimes to find still life set ups and outdoors.

I use a stay at wet palette in my studio for my oils. I have a glass inserted in there, to cover the whole area, and I use a glass razor scraper to clean it up. The oils stay open for weeks in this way and last much longer.
