Fathers Day Sketch and Notebook Gifts

Dad's can be hard to shop for. The good news is that a nice Fathers Day gift does not need to be complicated. Does a dad really want to count his steps, or text from his wristwatch? We think not.

Moleskine Sketchbook, Blackwing Pencils and Three-hole pencil Sharpener

We at ARCH propose the art of painting, sketching and writing by hand. These gifts are useful throughout the year and give the gift of unplugging from our over-connected world. Sketch and notebooks are devices for contemplation, not consumption.

Moleskine Watercolor Album, Caran d'Ache Water-soluble Pencils and Water Brush

With summer upon us, a Moleskine Watercolor Album is a great accessory for traveling. You can add on water-soluble color pencils and a water brush and skip the tubes of paints. This means less mess and slips easy into a backpack or suitcase.

Moleskine Ruled Notebook and Lamy Fountain Pen

Have you ever tried taking notes on your phone or tablet? Forget about it. A notebook and pen set is handsome, professional and practical.

We at ARCH hope you will chose to give the gift of creativity for you dear dad this year. Come by our PopUp store on 3rd Street for these and other gifts, cards and tools that Father's love.

Shop Local, Draw More and Happy Fathers Day!

ARCHie David Tenorio created some sketches to give you a feel for what these markers are like.  See what he had to say;

"Promarkers allow you to create quick sketches that incorporate color mixing and unique markmaking.  Their portability makes them a great choice for outdoor sketching."

"Available in a vast range of colors to fit your artistic needs.  Each marker is double ended:  a fine bullet tip for details and a broad chisel tip for large area fills.  Rich, alcohol based ink provides you the ability to blend colors and create dynamic edges."
 

"Promarkers can be utilized in a variety of ways.  They can even be used as an accent color to enhance your artwork of a different medium, including pencil, ink and watercolor."
