ASMR Organizing Art Supplies - No Talking - Paper Tearing - Chalk Snapping
มุมมอง 372ปีที่แล้ว
Something a bit different from the usual art supply review videos. I’ve been organizing several hundred pastels over the last few weeks and decided to record my Rembrandt soft pastel collection. What are pastels? Soft pastels are sticks made of pigment held together with a few additional ingredients. I use pastels as my main art medium of choice to draw animals and landscapes. What am I doing? ...

    Very nice and thorough review! I've heard you can also sharpen leads for lead holders on the opposite side. Don't know how thick. By the way is brass bad for us as some believe because it contains lead (pb). Would love to hear your opinion about the M+R pollux, castor sharpeners. And the brass DUX adjustable

    Screws are not too soft,They are 100% hardened steel. Screwdrivers though, always come with the hardest steel.That beinf saidm the ONLY way, to damage a screw, is by using the wrong screwdriver (usually smaller) or wrong type screwdriver, or using the right one, in a wrong way. Hope this helps.

    I watched your video last week and thought wow, I need the M+R 602 round. Maybe I missed it on the video but I needed the sharpen Conte Paris large diameter pastel pencils. The sharpener just arrived this morning. I’m VERY disappointed. It broke the lead two out of three of pencils I tried. The diameter of the lead in Conte Paris larger than the smallest section. Had some success on one pencil with a fairly sharp but SHORT point. I’ve ordered a 60 set of Fabre Pitt pastels, we’ll see if it works on smaller diameter. I need to keep searching and watch some additional videos, probably electric, don’t know. DO NOT BUY THE M+R 2 HOLE TO SHARPEN CONTE PARIS, IT DOES NOT WORK.

    • @PotatoArtStudios
      @PotatoArtStudios 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Jim, I appreciate your feedback with the 602 and Conte pastel pencils. Conte does have a tendency to break more often than the other pastel pencil brands I own (Stabilo, Faber-Castell, Koh-I-Noor, and Derwent). I think it's a combination of the pastel core to wood ratio and the formula of the pastel itself. I've found that Caran d'Ache pastel pencils break about the same frequency as Conte because of the soft pastel formula. Unfortunately with the fragile nature of pastels, there will be breakage - but the Mobius and Ruppert sharpeners consistently perform the best out of all the sharpeners I've tried so far. Faber-Castell PITT pastel pencils do handle very well in the 602 sharpener. They have a very firm pastel core. I think you'll be much happier with the performance of the 602 with your PITTs.

Next it has to be KUM Automatic long point, for its versatility,quality and performance. This round M+R is in the basket for my next order!

Same quality as the famius brushes Da Vinci,but with way better price tags and the same,if not better performance! You should try the Masterpiece, its very versatile,because you can remove the safe stop. Also the tip it creates, is WAY longer AND stronger,compared to the poor automatic longpoint! Thanks a lot!!

    Hi, I am in the UK and have ordered from Jackson's a few times, packaging is always excellent, I always go for the cheapest postage and items usually get to me in two days. I have the big wooden box set of daler rowney, not used them much but the ones I have, I like. Jackson's own range of soft pastels are also nice and I own a few sets of them, really worth a try. I mainly use pastel pencils. Be good to know how you get on with the daler rowney as it's hard to find people who use them. Emma Colbert done a pastel test on youtube and rated them, and I have watch Karen's youtube demo.
