Oh my goodness, welcome back Stephanie!!! I have wondered where you were and what happened to you. I'm so glad to find out that your absence was due to a household renovation and that you are doing well. You have lots of art supplies to add back to your art room. You will need to do a new art room tour now. Your paintings and drawings are so beautiful Stephanie, kudos to you!

@@TheGypsyChic1 you’re right I should buy a block of Saunders Waterford paper, now why didn’t I think of that 🤔? I like to try out different blocks of watercolor paper. I’ve gotten over the wasting cotton watercolor paper stage. I bought some of Cheap Joe’s Kilimanjaro 100% cotton watercolor sketchbooks. They are great. Spiral bound, which I prefer, so the book lays flat, and it’s approximately 9 x 11 inches. So it’s a good size too. Got to use them up before the sizing goes. I don’t know long it takes for the sizing to go bad on watercolor paper. ☺️

I'm glad I could help! Haha, teach me how you did that?!? I still have a hard time using my best cotton watercolor paper. I make practice paintings in my sketchbook first, and if I love it I use the cotton. Oh, I haven't tried those! Thank you for the tip...and this is what I missed so much about KZread!! I love spiral because it lays flat, and I worry about ruining the sketchbook when I make bad art. Lol Yes, I've been lucky as I have not had any sizing go bad on any of my sketchbooks or paper yet. But, I don't stockpile paper for that reason. 💗

@@TheGypsyChic1 teach you how to get over the fear of wasting cotton watercolor paper? Nowadays I only buy cotton watercolor sketchbooks and blocks so it’s no longer the exception but the norm 😉! Does that make sense? Also, 100% cotton watercolor paper and sketchbooks gives me the option of using plenty of water, granulation looks great on cotton paper, and if I do a lot of lifting and layers in my paintings I do not have to worry about pilling and making holes in the paper. I bought three Kilimanjaro sketchbooks because I wanted free shipping and I didn’t want to add too many paints to get to the free shipping threshold. Got to use the sketchbooks up, no hoarding allowed! 🤣

@TheGypsyChic1

10 ай бұрын

Thank you!! I guess I do the same thing. I only buy only 100% cotton paper sketchbooks, too. The 100% cotton blocks are what I need help using, as I'm afraid I won't like my painting and waste it. I keep all my bad paintings to repaint with another medium...so I guess I just need to remember that! I haven't tried the Kilimanjaro yet, but I love Etchr and Baohong. Absolutely, no hoarding paper! Lol ;)

I have been delaying all of my art purchases this year. I just can't justify spending 50$ on a new watercolor set when I have 3 or 4 sitting in my desk, same with pencils I have 2 sets, not big ones but I barely got to use them this year. So as soon as I get excited about buying something I ask myself do I really need it? The answer is not really. How you guys doing it?!

Yay!!! That is very prudent of you! I don't have too many items on my wish list left...so that may be me next year. As I've mentioned, no one ever needs many! For me, it is just incredibly fun. I love to try brands/colors for comparison since I do many reviews. They are for research purpose, as much as making me incredibly happy to try them. My ultimate goal is to find my top favorites, and then curate my collected down to just those. For me it often requires me going without many things like new clothes, makeup, shoes etc. As well as selling things that no longer bring me joy. 💗
