My supplies and where to find them

Since a lot of people ask what stuff I use, here is my list of most frequent supplies.

I'm not related to any shops nor branches, I simply buy what I like. Also, I wont suggest where you should buy whatever you want. Use this info at your own criteria.

Sketchbooks: 

I'm kind of partial to Stillman & Birn gamma, either A4 or A5, although I also like Fabriano Venezia. Lately I'm doing my own sketchbooks to work at home with heavy watercolor sheets, but I still use these brands to carry during travel.

For inks-only sketches my favorite sketchbooks are absolutely Claire Fontaine CrokBook 160gr. 

Alternatively, if one goes for a cheaper sketchbook, I've used now and then Moleskine watercolor ones (only the watercolor ones (pink label), I kind of hate the paper in all the rest!). 

I also like super-cheap Ryman A5 sketchbooks for videogame and TV doodles, but they are not easy to buy in Spain, so I usually buy loads whenever I go to London.

Fountain pens and ink:

I've got an old Schaeffer pen I absolutely love, but aside from that, I'm totally a Lamy sketcher. I mostly use Safari, but also have a couple of All-Star and I usually asks for medium nib. I also keep a Sailor Fude pen to play with inks that I like very much, but it's an acquired taste. 

Regarding inks, I have no doubt: document De Atramentis inks are the best of the best. I tend to use brown ink, but I've got a box full of them in every color. Sorry, not sorry.

Also, I like to keel a white gel pen if preserving whites is too hard. Sigma Uniball works for me, but I'm still looking for something I like more.

Markers:

Originally, I used TRIA, since you could reload them and stuff. However, finding recharges for TRIA is so difficult that I swapped to Flexmarkers. Actually, I didn't use the third nib of TRIA that much ...After Flexmarker was sold to Windsor & Newton they became kind of expensive, though, so I'm not using them much lately

.

Watercolors:

I do love Daniel Smith and Schmincke watercolors, but I tend to use Mission Gold for non-special pigments because they are way more affordable. And sometimes White Nights for specific colors, too (and cool tin boxes). Lately I've been using tubes everytime to keep my colors fresh for longer.

Brushes:

I'm not a watercolorist, so I usually go for the cheap stuff with acceptable quality. I like Escoda travel brushes and the Versatile type is usually good enough for me to carry around (although I keep a few expensive ones safe at home). If I'm traveling, I get extra-lazy and rely on Pentel waterbrushes to avoid carrying water on the side. These are ok for coloring, not for painting, so if you are planning something complex, find a better one!.

On the other hand. I really love Pentel Pocket brush to work with inks (I'm also lazy with this). I usually keep one with black ink in my supplies.

Color Pencils:

I'm partial to Prismacolors myself. The only issue is that buying them by units is not only expensive but also hard. Anyway, they are still my favorites if one compares price vs quality.

Shops I go to in Malaga (where I live);

I tend to buy local if possible. Specifically at:

Periplo Art  (they also have art books)

Iberia art

Both places have good supplies and prices and they know their stuff. Also, if there's something I can't find there, when I'm in Granada I go to La Madriguera, also one of my favorites. El Sanatorio Estilográfico (Málaga) is excellent to fix your fountain pens and to purchase any other you can't find anywhere, too.

General online shops in Spain:

There are several shops at Spain that offer similar prices (competitive, with respect to physical shops). These are interesting for people in Spain because shipment costs are cheaper. Most of them offer free transportation if you go over a cost threshold, ranging from 70 EUR on. Otherwise, the main differences among them are not usually in the product cost, but in shipment costs and stock. Here are a few I've tried:

Shop	Stock	Shipment Costs	Minimum for free delivery
Arte Miranda	Medium (eg. no Faber Castell, Caran D'Ache or Stillman Birn)	4,50 EUR min	60 EUR (Spain)
Articomic	Limited (good for markers, has Stillman & Birn)	3,99 EUR min	50 EUR (Spain)
Barna Art	Good (no Stillman & Birn)	9 EUR min	95 EUR (Spain)
Piera	Very Good	7,20 EUR min	75 EUR (Spain)

Other shops abroad with acceptable shipping costs to Spain:

Cowling Wilcox

Jackson's Art 

Both these are in UK, so check for Duty overcosts before you order!

If anyone knows of any place where I can buy stuff cheaper than in the referred places, I'd be very much obliged for a link!
