QUESTION
Hi Matt
Could you give me more details re the Staedtler Mechanical pencil you have with interchangeable leads? I had no idea just how many types they produce.
I am loving the various courses/lessons that you present, and grateful for the fine instruction to better drawing; anything really.
Kind regards
Maggie Grant

I can’t find that Stonehenge paper here in the Netherlands (or I’m not searching good enough). Do you have other recommendations for paper that’s good for this technique? I love this drawing. Can you also do a live lesson series about a misty landscape or a vintage scene like you see a lot on old analogue photographs? That would be really really nice.

Hi Matt, I’m in Canada, and I can’t find leads of different grades of graphite (2B and 4b) for the Staedtler mechanical pencil. I tried to order some from Blick, but the postage costs are higher than the leads themselves. Do you or anyone in the community have any suggestions? Thanks!

Matt because of this system i have the best of color pencils, soft pastels, oil pastels oils paints, acrylic paints and of course graphite at it best. With the high end supplies drawing is always a pleasure. I know even at this point with low end materials I can still make a drawing look real good because of the lessons you have provided. Congrats to you Matt, and your unscien staff working to make it all great. Jeff cook

Matt you have a nice system here. I have recommended you to many people who have checked this out, and or have joined. The well rounded courses are perfect for anyone to learn what they need to get from it. Your system has helped me become the confident art loving person I am today. Because of this system I am drawing what i want when i want and, still feel I have to go back over the basics from time to time just to be sure i am getting it correctly. Art has always been part of my life, but now because of this learning system that has been put together it is my reality, not just doddles and scribbles. Thanks again Matt jeff cook
