The pentel brush pen is great because it has nylon bristles so you can vary the line width, and use the side of it to fill in larger areas. It take ink cartridges so you can refill it when it runs out of ink! amzn.to/3MPMXzl

LARGE ARTIST EASEL
This is the large easel in the background. What I like about it is that you can tilt it entirely flat and use it like a table. It's built from solid wood. amzn.to/3sBLt53

Almost every book that I've read about painting has recommended simplifying the subject. Sometimes you might get this same advice from teachers or other artists, but they often don't explain how to go about simplifying a painting. But the good news is that there are some useful tips and techniques for reducing a painting down to the essential shapes.
These are the 5 most popular tips for simplifying a painting. If you're interested in plein air painting these tips are indispensable because you have a limited amount of time to capture the scene before the lighting changes.
These tips also work for still life painting or portraiture.
A painting that is built upon a strong foundation tends to have more impact because only the essential elements remain and there are fewer distractions.
