Useful for logging my art.

I've been doing digital art for about 10 years and recently decided to pick up a pen and make some art with physical media. I have experimented with many mediums including but not limited to: watercolors, oil and acrylic paints, sketch pencils, gel pens, chalk crayons and charcoal pencils. almost all of my art. While I'm by no means a professional and don't aspire to be one, it's obvious and encouraging when I look at my old digital art and compare it to the latest digital work and see improvements in various areas. a journey into art through physical media and tools, but it's not always easy. Anyone who has done oil painting or art in charcoal or pastel knows what I'm talking about: some art mediums are just plain messy! Sure, I can literally hang or frame some of my watercolor and acrylic drawings, but I want to document as much of my art as possible, even if it's embarrassing when family members see my attempts, but I digress! With these bags I can do just that! While I find it a bit difficult to fit sheets of paper/canvas into a bag, once I load it up and close the bag, I can handle my art with more confidence. Of course I still have to treat some artwork like the images created with the tools mentioned above with some care, it's still a lot easier to handle images stacked in one of these bags and MUCH easier to add art to to store! I'm happy to report that even with a bit of rough handling, even my charcoal or pastel drawings have not smudged or smudged in any of these bags. I will definitely be getting more of these bags soon and am grateful to have the means to archive my art. As with my digital art, I don't expect to be an expert, but I know I'll enjoy seeing my art improve and change over time as I continue to draw and paint with real pens, pencils, and brushes!

Pros
  • Enough storage space. The exact size is 11 3/7" (L) x 9" (W). It is slightly larger to comfortably accommodate a mat, canvas up to about 1/4 inch thick.
