Art
Art at Typo is your space to create, play and plan. Our anything-but-ordinary tools make ideas feel possible, whether you’re doodling on the couch, painting at the kitchen table, or building a weekend masterpiece. Our range of sketch books, paints, brushes, art supplies, activity pads, drawing pads, and creative kits sparks joy, boosts confidence, and keeps inspiration rolling without the scary price tag.
What are the best sketch books for beginners?
Choose a sketch book that invites you to draw daily. Acid-free pages preserve your work, mid-weight paper handles pencils, pens, and light washes, and spiral-bound or lay-flat books lie flat for comfort. A5 is perfect for on-the-go creativity, while A4 gives room for bigger projects. Beginners benefit from mixed-media paper for light watercolour or marker use. Keep it simple: the best sketch book is the one you actually use. Pair with a watercolour or acrylic creative kit for guided inspiration.
What art supplies do I need at home?
Start with essentials: sketch books, graphite pencils, erasers, sharpeners, and fineliners. Add paints—watercolour, acrylic, gouache—and a small palette. A few synthetic brushes (round, flat, wash) cover most projects. Colored pencils, gel pens, and bleed-resistant markers expand your options. Use drawing pads or mixed-media pads for flexible surfaces, and canvas panels for small-space painting. Keep tools accessible in a pencil case, caddy, or desk tray.
Are activity pads and drawing pads good for kids?
Yes! Activity pads and drawing pads encourage creativity, focus, and fine motor skills. Thicker, bleed-resistant pages withstand markers and paints. Guided prompts, stickers, or color-by-number pages make them fun for siblings or playdates. Pair with washable markers or small creative kits for instant inspiration.
Whether starting with a sketch book, building an art supply kit, or exploring kid-friendly creative pads, Typo makes art playful, original, and accessible. From paints and brushes to all-in-one creative kits, we help you create, plan, and play every day.
