You’re welcome! I love a big Blick purchase!

I love these art hauls because it's a good way to see what we may like in our art supply collection. Thank you.

I think the bonus of the liquitex and maybe the molotow markers is that they can be refilled with your own colors! Also, when you start a fresh pen, you should do the first pump of the marker with the pen tip up facing you- this helps prevent the marker from flooding by venting some of the air inside so it doesn’t force more paint out than necessary

Great video! The Brusho some people will poke a pinhole in the cap, instead of fully opening them, to limit the Chaos Potential. The pinholes can be made with a safety pin or thumb tack and covered with a bit of tape

My first time watching one of your videos. One minute and seven seconds in and I'm hooked. The minute I heard you say you wanted something other than white paper I thought hallelujah finally someone else that feels the same way I do. White paper feels a bit printer paper or grade school to me and it's getting harder and harder to find ivory paper and something not too yellow.

you may be looking for a b5 sketchbook. "The sizing of B-series sheets is calculated from the geometric mean of the A-series. For example, a B5 sheet is sized between an A4 and A5 sheet." good luck.

Thank you! I definitely did not know this. Looking into it!

Stillman and burn sketchbooks have a ivory colour that you’re looking for in this one of their sketchbook ones. They only have one, but it is ivory.

Holbein gouache is so creamy. I love the Leaf Green!

Loved all the supplies! I also want to say thank you for putting every single item and shade down in the description bar. That was so so helpful! And I know it must taken you some time to do it, so an extra thank you is well deserved ❤

Ahh! Good shout, I remember learning this lesson the hard way

❤😊 I love art paper and get excited when I find quality colorful paper.😊

Thank you, Lauren! This was really great to see -- all these products and colors. Scarlet is my favorite color, too! I mixed it up by accident one day and painted everything in sight plus, one whole sheet of watercolor paper which I ripped down to business card size! I have a swatch with me wherever I go! LOL! I love Liquitex. In high school they were used as liquid embroidery. We were all doing tablecloths and matching napkins. Each color was in a tube with a fine tip and you just followed the printed design on the fabric. You'd have to heat-set it with an iron afterward and it was washable. It was so much faster than using thread. I learned something new today... Your taking the paper towel roller over the fresh paint, removing the excess for a great background page. I thought that was really neat! Thank you!

Kate - I had forgotten the paper towel thing! Sometimes as we get older, we forget the little stuff that can make a difference in our painting with watercolors. Lol

How fun. Loving it all❤

The size in between would be a B5 my friend, maybe not in that brand but Archer & Olive do a gorgeous art journal in the B5 size. I believe they also have the option to select cream pages too! Xx

Oh my gosh my dream is art supplies, I dream, eat and sleep painting and drawing. I have an art studio full to the brim with supplies and I still find more to love.

Yes! I totally get this. I love them so much!

“I recommend a snack and beverage….” Advice like that deserves a Subscribe

I too have a cat. She loves to cuddle when I am painting. She loves to drink the paint water and then half an hour later she vomits said paint water. I love my cat, hair, vomit,cuddles and all.

I love cats so much! We have a new kitten that’s getting into everything right now and driving the older one nuts lol. They’re fantastic!

Im very addicted to posca markers. I also like the sharpie brush water acrylic markers, they dry matte but dont have a lot of colors. Micheals is carrying the karin ones now too w a brush tip, they dry matte too.

With brusho, leave lid and seal in place and pierce lid with pushpin then shake out. Store with pushpin in hole you made.

I poke a small hole in the top of each Brusho container. Gives you much more control, (won't waste as much or make as much of a mess) and works really well if all you want is a sprinkle or spatter effect. Wet the paper first then sprinkle or sprinkle and then spray the area. It's a really fun product and the colors are gorgeous!

I’m not a great fan of acrylic paint (I do use it some) bc I’m washing “plastic” down the sinkj, but with acrylic markers, you don’t have the paint waste cleaning water going down the sink…so for me, they’re a great eco option 😊 I read on Wet Canvas, that Liquitex acrylic markers ARE refillable, as are Montana and Molotow (the most expensive) but they just don’t tell you that. Montana and Molotow even offer empty marker tubes and replaceable nibs.👍

I was at the blick store and there was a cream paged talen arts book in that medium size. I now wish i had picked it up. I got this square leuchtterm instead which is also nice.

Yes! It was probably an Art Creations sketchbook. I’m jealous you have a Blick nearby!

I think the size you're looking for is B5... But I don't think Royal Talens produces their Art Creations sketchbook in that particular size... :( I really hope they do some day, since they produce the little square ones which are an unusual size! 😁 Thank you for sharing! I hope you have a wonderful day! 😊

I too get tired of the “typical” yellows we often see in sets of anything. I love the soft yellows and am a fan of “creams” that are usually in the yellow range. For the bolder yellows….I love a “golden marigold” yellow…my name for it…and you can find it in colors like “cadmium medium & deep yellows” and I think you can get these in cad free versions too. I think versions of “New Gamboge & Naples Yellow” also offer some beautiful and more interesting yellows.

Exciting new supplies. Have fun!

Beautiful!!

Maria of art tool kit recommends adding a tiny drop of vegetable glycerin to keepnthe gouche from cracking. I used it with my hobien gouche and it sure made a difference.

Smalt is ground up cobalt glass.

Stillman and Birn Gamma ❤. Or handbook travelogue has a sketchbook as well that fits the bill in an 8 by 10. B5 is my favorite size as well

This demonstration was really useful. To get some ideas of the media you have shown. Thankyou

Do you put Bobby pins or thumbtacks in the top of your brushos I find it much easier to use them that way so you don’t get too much so much pigment a little goes a very very long way

With brush I have seen people punch a tiny hole in the top of the container. You get less on the paper. Even leave a push pin in the hole..like a salt shaker

Great video, thanks

I’ve seen someone use a fan brush to sprinkle the Brusho on the paper and the push pin in the top to make a hole in the top and then sprinkle it on the paper

may be you would like canson 180 sketchbook, it's creamy color paper and good with markers and pens, the paper is thin, but it behaves surprisingly well with different materials sounds like its medium size can suit you

Oooooo! Thank you! I’ll go take a look!

It didn't look like you molotow (molotov) had the sticker on the cap, that's where they put the color names on the ones I have

How is the cream paper working out for different mediums?

Sweet haul!

What would you use those chunky markers for? Posters?

Nope! They’re lightfast. They’re fun to add mark making to paintings and sketchbook paintings. They’re also great for laying down a lot of color quickly when working in a sketchbook on location.

Smalt blue is I think kind of a grayish blue, an old color. BT awe are NOT “guys”..
