"Painting is by nature a luminous language." Robert Delaunay
Art lounge is an art stationery store at Churchgate, Mumbai and they are currently having their Annual sale which ends on 16th of April, 2017. I went there couple of days back to buy my soft pastel and charcoal products. Since they have their sale catalog online it helped me to shortlist the products.
I am listing a few things that I purchased this year. Until last year I was working more on black coloured Canson MT paper. But my recent landscapes on twilight shade turned out equally good. Therefore I added a few sheets of mid tone Canson MT sheets.
My final list of products that I purchased are as follows

I am listing a few things that I purchased this year. Until last year I was working more on black coloured Canson MT paper. But my recent landscapes on twilight shade turned out equally good. Therefore I added a few sheets of mid tone Canson MT sheets.
My final list of products that I purchased are as follows
- A few Canson Mi Teintes sheets. ( Mostly mid tone colours )
- General Charcoal and General white pastel pencil.
- Few Kohinoor Toison Dor pastel pencils
- Kneaded erasers
- Kohinoor graphite pencils
- Canson Bristol XL sheets ( Purchased this to try out my graphite works )
- Strathmore Toned Gray ( Pad of 50 sheets ) I have used the Strathmore black paper and loved it a lot for my portrait works. Therefore decided to buy this one to try out my charcoal and pastel portraits on it.
As with any other artist, I already have a big collection of papers, pencils, brushes and other products at home. Therefore I did not have to purchase as much as I did in the previous years.
I am excited about the two new papers that I have purchased namely Strathmore and Canson Bristol. I have read a lot of good reviews about them so am confident that it will all work out good.
Apart from Art Lounge, the other Stationery stores that I frequently visit are Himalaya Stationery Mart and Art Station.
