Just started dabbling in art a few months ago and found your channel recently. I am a total novice. No experience. No training. I used traceables mostly to get by. Hope to learn more about gouache/watercolor in 2024. I have mostly just used acrylics. Your channel has inspired me to dabble with my supplies I have and try to expand my horizons. I have hope that I can do better. Thanks for what you do. It is really appreciated by us total newbies in the art world!

Maybe people don't realize that kids art products can be far more interesting than what we are used to on a regular basis, looking at those Stabilo pencils it's inspiring to try new ideas even though the colors aren't brilliant. Thank you for upload, pretty hair lady 😊😊

The way I paused the video to add nordman green to my Jackson’s cart..that swatch was STUNNING I’ve been enjoying my a gallo signature 1 watercolors and my himi gouache lately! With the signature 1 palette, it’s such an inspiring assortment of colors but at the same time it covers your split primary, neutral, and convenience color needs. With himi gouache they released the twin cups and since it’s so affordable it’s freeing to paint with it without having to worry about how precious it is.

I’ve been really enjoying my schmincke watercolours, hot press etchr everyday sketchbook(white cover ones), plastic nib pigma microns, polychromos and Princeton aqua elite travel brushes! I don’t use the polychromos as much as I would like because the box is bulky and I generally make most of my art away from a desk. So it’s mostly the sketchbook, paints, microns and brushes that I use! For the schmincke palette, I bought an empty Mungyo 12 colour tin and chose my own half pans because I can’t stand the unrolled edges on schmincke palettes and I know what colours and properties I like in my paints! But damn, I bought those paints 3 years ago, paint a lot and none of the pans are even close to half finished. Talk about pigment load!😍 such a worthwhile investment given how long they have lasted! And there’s not one colour on that palette that I regret buying, something I would probably feel if I had bought a premade palette.Been working solely in an a6 sketchbook lately because my friend said she would love to have one of my sketchbooks as a birthday present. I can’t give her one of my old ones because I’m attached so I needed to start a new one, knowing I wouldn’t keep it so that I don’t get attached 😂 doing an a6 cause I figured it would be quicker to fill. Her birthday is early feb so time is limited!

I love the Art Creation sketchbooks, they are my favorites for mix media.

21:15 I was never an orange lover either, but when I saw someone use Daniel Smith Aussie Red Gold and then bought a tube, I was blown away. It’s so vivid, it looks like it has to have some neon in it, but it doesn’t, nor does it have any gold metallic in it and to my eyes, it’s more orange than red. It’s just stunning. ❤

Ohhh boyyyy! What a fabulous video! I loved it! First off im always amazed and impressed when artists spout off letters and numbers on paints! Also I am a real sketchbook/ paper hog. So I get you about all that. Your art is beautiful and i just subscribed to your KZread. I cant wait to binge watch all your videos!🎉 Susan in Arizona🏜️❤️

The Nordman Green would look very pretty for water, the texture it gives kind of seems like the reflections and lighting of water already so it would be minimal work! Also love the videos, just getting back into watercolor and your videos are very helpful!

I really like this kind of videos. I think my favorite art supply at this moment is the Etchr a5 filled it almost up in three months. And also my Roman Szmal an Schmincke aquarel paints.

Nordman green would probably be a fun pop of trees among a Christmas forest. You’re an artist. You get to be creative. It doesn’t have to be realistic. I have rainbow pastel forests and gold and silver trees popped in my forests 😄

You know you are the reason I fell in love with Quinacridone Gold and bought 2 full pans of Roman Szmals Quin Gold and I might be ordering a third one 🙈 I avoid colors that has cobalts, irons/nickel etc. in them but after watching your video where you compared daniel smith, Holbein, and Roman Szmal’s quin gold I just had to get it! I am eagerly waiting for your sketchbook tours of Khadi fat book and Etchr sketchbooks. I always draw towards your watercolor hauls and when you show your gorgeous paintings 😻😻😻 at the moment I am really enjoying using my Baohong 100% cotton sketchbook. Its amazing. I am pushing myself to use my professional watercolors and I need a Jackson’s watercolor sale to happen soon so I can get a few more colors.

Per usual, love the video! 🥰My favorite art supply has been artist grade professional gouache. Daniel Smith and M. Graham gouache are my current favs. This year I've focused a lot of my attention learning how to paint gouache landscapes. Merry Christmas to you and yours ❤

I am trying to get into watercolor but don’t want to spend a fortune on paint’s in case I don’t end up liking it. I bought some Holbein and CSY, to start. I do have some himi Gelly gouache and a Japanese Gansai Tambi paint that even though it’s in pans, I am told it is more of a gouache also. I love listening to your voice/accent, it is beautiful. I couldn’t think of the Gansai Tambi name until you showed your set.

I love woodies and I have quite a few. You can sharpen Neo color 2 in a pencil sharpener. For a finer line.. my favorite is Fountain Pens!

Great video reviews, thank you! WOW, I just worked out my Stabilo Watercolour Crayons I bought in the early 90's are actually the same as Woodies!! Okay, going to dig them out again, I look forward to seeing what you do with yours :)

My favorites from the video - the khadi fat book and papers. Definitely want to try them. Would also like to give tha Royal Talons a try after your recommendation. It is nice to have some sketchbooks that you don’t have to feel too careful and serious about. I know exactly what you’re saying about the sketchbook with two different types of paper. The Strathmore (soft cover, 400? Series, cellulose) sketchbook I have is like that - alternating 2 page spreads are different. I find it very annoying. The good news is that I am now on the last page. Yay!!I loved the Schminke paints when you swatched them in your livestream (the first Sketches n. Scrubs video I ever watched 😊), that I added them in on my Christmas gift order. Love, love, love them! I also love the QoR colors. While I don’t have the specific set you have, I had purchased several of their colors including the Quin Gold along with several other of the Quin’s in the past few months. Yes, I love their smoothness and how they flow as well as their vibrancy. Right now I’m enjoying the Daniel Smith ‘Tis the Season set (Transparent yellow Oxide, Imperial Purple, Christmas Tree Green) because I’m still working on Christmas cards! They’ll arrive late but that’s ok and the D.S. Set has been fun to add to my palette. The Christmas Tree Green actually smells like pine! Ive never had a fragranced paint before and thought I was imagining things when I was painting with it, but other household members confirmed it!. Anyways, thanks for another really enjoyable video and beast wishes for a merry Christmas.

Again, thankfully I watched this video after my very last art haul of this year-hopefully truly my last I'm broke 😂. I loove the shimmery dot card, I pretty much collected all of them because they put so much paint. I prefer to add them as a final touches for small details for my paintings so I guess that's why they worked perfectly for what I do 😅

Love the art creations sketchbooks, I enjoy the cream coloured paper. Definitely going to cjeck out the khadi books, I think I'd enjoy the softcover too. And the woodies are so cute. My daughter uses them mostly because I have neocolors aswell. I think I need to get my dip pen out again, I forgot I have one 😂

Happy Merry! Great info…thanks! I have the Qor High Chroma set….one of my faves! It’s now $31 in the US, but used to be like $24 for the longest time. Beautiful, quality and vivid colors…..especially the Cobalt Teal ❤️❤️❤️ A note about the Woody’s…On The Frugal Crafter, Lindsay Weirich’s channel (U.S.) she chopped open a Woody to see how much color center there actually is. (This video was from about 2 or 3 years ago.) Since the tops are covered up, you can’t tell how much color you’re actually getting. Surprise…they’re only about two thirds full. OK, they’ve got a thicker core than say a typical color pencil, but really, it’s kind of misleading. I think their charm is their chunkiness…if feels nice to hold…but are the colors any better than Neo Color2? I’ve been tempted to buy these myself but then the price puts me off. I think Neo Color 2’s are really your best deal in water soluble crayons.

Thanka for sharing these. Your paintings are beautiful! Currently my favorite thing is Kuretake paints I just got my 1st set which is the 1 you got in your video. Have a great day

Those are such beautiful granulating colors, agreed that the tundra violet is very blue though! Also love your time challenge doodles! Waiiittt… I love DS undersea green too… Now I feel like I need another tube > Wait they bumped up the price of the woodys??? I didn’t know that! They were so expensive the moment I knew about them, and I considered them for really long before I finally got them. They are nice and pigmented though and so fun. Woah didn’t know that the lead stops there I sure feel cheated now 😅 XD Yeah I go ermmm a lot too… 😅

14:55 PB36 comes in many, many shades, including a turquoise shade, hence the green undertones. Schmincke sells it as a single pigment paint, but I can’t remember its name at the moment.

The QOR and Holbein starter sets would probs have to be my faves. I also just got the QOR set for my birthday, and am keen to try it. My recent fave item right now is a Schmincke limited edition retro 8 half pan travel set, I got it partly cos I was curious what I could make from the limited palette (although ended up wedging an extra four colours into the middle row) but also love the tin, it’s so tiny! Thanks for the video! :)

Check your eyesight for colours, the green convo, you appear to tick boxes of colour difference.

I really liked the second Isaro watercolor tube you got, such a beautiful color that jumped right out at me when you first held up your sketchbook :) Lately I've been enjoying painting/just playing on a really large sketchbook! I feel like I can try a lot of different things all on the same page, which means I can mess up multiple times after experimenting and not feel like the whole page is ugly/ruined once I finally do get something I like on that page. For this same reason, it also really helps to see previous attempts on the same page while I'm trying again so I can compare and make improvements as I paint!
