Drawing Tool Tip
A small, flat brush makes a good shading tool if you trim the bristles to about 1/4" long.
To create a smooth texture that works well for shading very delicate or white flowers, fill the petals with a little powdered graphite on a brush.

Free Art Supply Catalogs
 Tons of art supplies with quick delivery.
- Jerry's Artarama - They have two catalogs. Both are free but you have to pay for shipping for the "Full" catalog. However if you order the full catalog along with another item, they will waive the shipping costs.
- Cheap Joe's Art Stuff - They have a free catalog that they will mail to you and you can also download parts of the catalog too.
- Sax Arts and Crafts - They say that the catalogs are free to all educators but "Name of School" is not required on the form and they send one to you anyway if you leave that blank.
- Flax Art and Design - They have cover art competitions. You get your art on the cover of their next catalog and $1000 worth of things from their store if you win.
- Utrecht Art Supplies - They have a good selection of art supplies and a good drawing selection, too.
- Daniel Smith - A little pricey but a good drawing pencil selection and a lovely catalog.
