Art Supplies Show & Tell ✧绘画材料分享会
✏️🎨🖌️
In the hyper-digital age, many artists have found themselves returning to traditional materials. With countless media, techniques, and tools to explore, analog art-making offers its own forms of discovery, surprise, and intimacy.
在数码工具越来越丰富的时代，越来越多艺术家重新回到纸张、颜料、笔触与真实材料。
彩色铅笔、水彩、水粉、墨水、马克笔、各种奇怪的笔刷与纸张——这些工具不仅影响作品，也影响我们思考与创作的方式。不同品牌、不同材质、不同手感，都在悄悄塑造艺术家的语言。
This gathering is a casual show & tell, knowledge exchange, and material appreciation club. Bring a few of your favorite tools, share what you love about them, and learn from other artists.
