I Lost ALL My Art Supplies....replacing them from scratch?

So I recently moved and in the process lost the boxes of art supplies I was supposed to be bringing with me for the next year. I don't know where they are. I'll do my best to try and locate them in the storage but until then, I had to start from scratch buying all my art supplies over again. I thought I'd show you what I would get now as an experienced artist starting my supplies all over again. Hopefully this will help some of you!

Your Masterson Stay Wet palette should have come with a sponge that stays under the plasticky palette paper sheets. If it didn't, I'd recommend reaching out to Masterson. You get the sponge damp and that little bit of humidity is what keeps your paints wet.

How can you not access it for a year. Does it have 1 year timer lock. The situation makes no sense
Chloe, you can 100% learn how to crochet. I taught myself one afternoon watching KZread and i've made blankets and stuff animals

I learned both crocheting and knitting as an adult. I’m still pretty much a beginner at most as I don’t do them a lot. For me, one of the trickiest parts was figuring out if I crochet/knit left or right-handed. I do some things left-handed (including writing) and some things right-handed. Turns out, like with instruments, I’m more comfortable crocheting and knitting right-handed. It also makes sense because I once tried to learn crochet as a kid, from my great aunt, but I think I tried it left-handed and couldn’t get the hang of it.

I knit a little, and would like to be able to crochet, but something about it breaks my brain. I got a hook and tried following some tutorials, but couldn't successfully make a basic chain. I just can't seem to figure out how to hold on to everything simultaneously; I'm always dropping the yarn or the hook or having the yarn go flying off the hook, etc. I'm sure it's one of those things where it's easy once it "clicks," but I've not gotten it to click.
In a year before you get your stuff out of storage you should do an update video where you show all the additional things you’ve had to purchase and what you haven’t used. 😆

7:40 There's a reason for this! In craft stores, they wanna give customers enough time to feasibly complete their creative projects before that season actually rolls around, so they pull out the stock for later seasons a whole season early. For little things like decorative pumpkins, you might not need much time at all, but if you're making an extravagant costume or a large display, it's gonna take the average 40-hour-week worker a good long while to finish. That's why you see fall stuff in craft stores while generic and clothing stores are still pushing their summer wares. It doesn't explain why non-craft retail stores routinely trample over Halloween with snowmen and reindeer, but it's noticeable that those other retail stores don't push other seasons early while craft stores do.

Yes! Give us wedding craft hacks!!!! ❤ I'm a bridesmaid for a friend and I've been helping with craft stuff for her wedding!
having moved country 3 times, i know the nightmare of setting up an art studio from scratch pretty well. Its always going to suck, but in someways its nice to have the clean slate to hone in on the supplies you really love and need
My niece had the heart guest frame at her wedding. It turned out really cute. I used rub and buff silver on the frame. Not a big wedding so there were blank hearts left. We wrote different inspirational words on those. ❤
I can understand being frustrated about Putting Halloween stuff in a supermarket/walmart in July or putting Christmas stuff up in September, but its actually really smart in a crafts supply shop. It means you have tonnes of time to make gifts and stuff with in theme items. Also if you run a small hobby business, you need to get things ready way in advance of the celebration. My sister in law does pottery and she starts making pottery pumpkins for Halloween in April. Also you really need to try out Golden Fluid Acrylics. They are the Italian kiss.

This video reminds me of that time in art school when I got onto the metro to go to class with my toolbox full of art supplies, set it down next to me for a minute to grab something from my backpack, and then it was just gone when I went to pick it up. Big sad/angry feelings. I had some stuff in my backpack, obviously, but I did have to do a lot of rebuying over the next while, including my watercolours, and a lot of my brushes and mediums. I had to be very careful in the choices I made when replacing what I'd lost. I needed to immediately be able to make things, but also take care that my new supplies didn't break the bank. It was an interesting challenge.
😉 We heard you slip in how your doc told you to take prenatal vitamins. Well, whatever may or may not be going on in your life right now, I hope you're happy, well, and taking care of yourself. Congratulations and good luck with the engagement, wedding plans, looking for a new place, your new art supplies, and...anything else. 😅
The teal paint bottle from golden is from their “liquid” line, it’s about the consistency of whole milk, not toothpaste like their heavy body (the tubes). Golden’s different lines are made so they can be used in the same piece, but they do have different use cases they each shine in.
What if our favorite YT artists did an art product supply mystery sampler collab box !?! All packed in one of the Jazza mini bags ! What an awesome mix to imagine ! After nightmare box last week, thought what would be in a dream box ? Thought of you & all the collaborations you have done with other artists, then you mentioned the art bag. Perfect carrier for everyone's products. That would be fun. Congratulations on your happily ever after too !
After having done a course in soft pastels....they can be a lot of fun to paint with on their own :) Just gotta get sanded pastel paper to work with! Its a very textured medium.
Most craft stores put our Christmas in July, it's not to try to rush the season but to give crafters time to prepare and create their creations.

I use Mastersons Sta-Wet palettes for my acrylic painting process. So I was very concerned to see that your palette didn’t come with the magic sponge that keeps the moisture within your palette. But after researching I realized that the one you got in particular doesn’t include one as it’s mostly used for oils. I hope it really works for you and you don’t get discouraged to use them if this one doesn’t do the job 😬

@@ChloeRoseArt The one you got with the blue lid is the same one I have, it's a "palette seal". The reason it doesn't come with a sponge is because it is meant for a wooden or glass palette, but you can use it with the sponges too if you want. It's dang near airtight so that's why it's hard to get the lid off. I use a 12"x16" glass palette in it, and when I used open acrylics it would keep my paints wet pretty much forever just by keeping a wet paper towel balled up in a corner. I've since switched to oils and it keeps them from skinning over, and keeps the cat hair out.

I haven't painted in over 10 years, but my sister's kids spent two weeks with me this summer and the oldest one is taking after their mother (she has a fine arts degree) so we spent a lot of time going to arts and crafts stores getting them supplies. At one point we looked over my stash and it was old, crusty, dried out, and just plain embarrassing. Your video came at the perfect time, you've given me a great starting point to rekindle a lost passion, thank you Chloe!
I've moved waaaay too many times!! 🤦♀️ A huge tip I would give you is to get the huge sharpie. It has about a 1 inch chisel tip!! It is dark black and stinks to high heaven, but worth it!! 🤗 Use that to label each and every box. Make each letter at least two inches high to label room on each box!! On ALL sides of the box! Underneath that in smaller letters, label the contents. You are more likely to get things in the right room! Assume you will not be the one placing things, people will be in a hurry, and if using movers, they may or may not be the best readers. It is important to keep room labels short and easy. Fun to go with you shopping!! 💕 I hope you find your two boxes of supplies!! 👍
You got the beautiful bag! Speaking on Phtalo Blue and Green, that one is called Phtalo Turqouise! (in the kickstarter. I personally call it petrol =D ) We do need more people to back it though! The more people, the more colors can be produced, and more art stuff included! (stretch goals) And yes, there is a STUFFED version with art supplies! You could get it, and have some more nice art supplies in December =D I am crocheying while watching this. And I learned through a set like that at a ripe age of 30 something. You can learn too, it is very fun! (especially amigurumi, like you found)
maybe you could have your art friends send you some art supplies they think are essential for someone starting new? like essential beginner stuff, essential intermediate stuff, essential pro stuff? and then you could compare what everyone sent and how much they agree or disagree?

Crochet is so easy to get the hang of! Someone I know does crochet workshops in the uk so you can always find any workshops around! :)
We had one of the little heart frames for my wedding too. Really easy way to have a lasting record of who was there without having a random book sitting around
We lost everything including my beloved cat 😭 in a fire a year ago & we are still in temporary accommodation (will be for the next year too). I spent the first nine months pretty much curled up in a ball doing nothing, I was so scared of getting anything dirty in this rented space. I've now started to get a few bit together & started to join in with the monthly swaps on my craft FB groups. It's actually taught me to think outside the box and I've had to be inventive! I started with a job-lot of inks & stamps being sold on Ebay but the best investment for me is a really good paper trimmer. Congratulations on your engagement 🙂

YES- wedding crafts & art!!! My wedding was like 2 years ago but I wouid absolutely watch and save those if you did them. 🎉 so happy for you!
I know what it's like to lose a lot of art supplies, as well as not having access to stuff in storage. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I'm glad it gave you the opportunity to start updating your supplies as you've been meaning to. ❤
That’s a bummer your supplies are stuck in storage for awhile, however at least they’re hopefully not lost forever. Your new haul is nice and I can’t wait to see what you make with them. My HIMI gouache is in a mint green case too. I have both the white gelly rolls and white uni balls. I also have a lot of gel pens in general.
Haha you forgot to fill up Jazzas bag, I was waiting to see Let’s see my favorite art supplies I couldn’t go without: -Col-erase prismacolor pencils, specifically Tuscan Red color -AlteNew alcohol markers (my fav brand) -Uncoated wood free paper - Zebra Fude brush pen extra fine and medium -Pentel Hi-Polymer erasers -A watercolor palette, I’m not picky sometimes I just like playing with watercolor so I wouldn’t wanna be without one for a year and a water brush to use with it And if I could get ahold of them which is unlikely (I only have some cause I found them at a thrift store) a set of vintage Eagle Turquoise Prismacolor pencils
This is a great collection of art supplies. I'm looking forward to see what you create! The paint seal box looks great! I've never seen one before. I could not live without my acrylic paints, coloured pencils, art diary, and lead pencils.
We had a heart frame at our wedding, it felt much better than a guest book which gets put away! Also, yes you should try crochet! It’s so much fun! 😁
Rather than a pencil or chalk, I do watercolor pencil in a purple grey shade to sketch for my watercolor painting. You can either erase it with an eraser or water. If it does show on the edge the purple grey color looks like a shadow.
I would love a video/mini series where you learn to crochet! that sounds like so much fun! 🥰
Those Uni white pens are TOP TIER!!! I absolutely ADORE them, especially when working with black paper

The Golden Open Acrylics are definitely my biggest must-have! Such amazing paints! And the slow-drying aspect makes it much easier for me to work, at least with what my process looks like
Bless Chloe moving is incredibly stressful! ❤
I bought one of the big palettes in college for my art classes, and love it. One tip is if you don’t want to keep having to replace the paper, go to a local glass shop and request a cut piece of glass to fit inside. If you let them know what you’re using it for, they’ll make sure to get you the correct thickness, and even grind the edges so it’s smooth and doesn’t cut you. It only cost me like $15, but that was like 8 years ago so…. 🤷🏻♀️ But I love having the glass palette. Clean up is still super fast and easy if you use one of those razor blade scraper things. And if you like having the neutral grey palette paper for color mixing purposes, you can just stick one underneath and it will last for ages!
Yes!! I would love to watch you do wedding crafty stuff!!!
Congratulations on the engagement!!! so happy for you!!

my favorite purchase ever was a ceramic mixing palette for watercolor/gouaches! easy to clean and you can still use the dried up paint if you just add water to it
Aa for "holy grail" art supplies - my favorite thing I tripped across recently is caran d'ache wax pastels. They have two types, one water soluble and one not, and I have both and LOVE them. They do exactly what I wish oil pastels would do, without the stink - and the water soluble ones can be painted with! So amazing.
I've moved several times and had to start from scratch. at least you still have things and you can get always get some temporary items you use on a regular basis. That's absolutely smart going in with that mindset and not buying more than what you need or can use in that temporary setup Ironically i hate the gelly roll and signo. I use a crafts paint pen from the dollar tree for highlights and it flows so much better than them.
So sorry to hear of your predicament. Love how you share all this information. Have you thought of having an Amazon merch store. You will get a kick back from purchases of your fans that go through the portal and buy art supplies. I hear lots of people make some cash for this. Love your show.

Sorry, got carried away about being early 😅 Glad you have some nice new art supplies, shame so many went missing 😢
Chloe congratulations to you and your fiancé. Me and my long time companion just got married this summer too. One of the art supplies I find is the best to have especially as a watercolour artist is Carandache's Supracolor Watercolour Pencils. Even though they were a bit expensive they are definitely worth it. I've only sharpened them maybe once or twice and had them for almost three years now. I do wish you all the best and this video was really fun to watch. I hope you have a beautiful day, cheers eh and much love. :)

Would love one of Jazza's travel bags for my colored pencils. They seem like a great quality and size. Also I know the woahs of moving suck, its good to know that you stuff is safe somewhere though. I lost my entire lifetime of my stuffed animal collection on a move and it was heartbreaking and unfortunately non-salvagable... Congratulations on your engagement again, so happy for you both👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤

Hey Chloe, love your videos! When you demonstrated the Masterson Sta-Wet Palette, I didn't notice the sponge that goes underneath the paper and keeps your paint from drying out.... Not sure if you didn't get that on purpose or or if that particular palette doesn't use the sponge. Thought I would give you a heads up though😊

O.o that jazza bag looks amazing. As one who travels and will start traveling more frequently with my fiance that will make everything sooo much easier! Thank you for advertising it :D I hope you get your stuff back soon Im sure that is quite stressful especially when one has that itch to just art T.T
I always cycle through what mediums I like to work with, however as I am getting older and moving more often and not in art school anymore, I realize that I have held onto things that I truly don't like or enjoy and I've held on to them because of the "just in cases" because I am that person to my core. I am Just In Case Barbie. So over the next couple of months, I'll be donating anything in good condition and I am excited to do so, which is a huge step for me. This was super fun, thank you for sharing.

Oh and do thing with house hold stuff. Lemon juice can make a secret message if carefull heated with candle. use candle soot (black stuff), paint with what you eat, paint with what you drink. Don't overflow with new stuff before you sorted your stuff. (and in a month or 2 it could be nice to go trough the boxes again to look again with a new perspective, so you can find what you need.
