I have this palette and it’s gorgeous. I love Van Gogh paint it seems to be a less mentioned brand .
Hello, I now have several small sets of VanGogh. I agree they are really good quality basically artist grade. Its not as popular here in the US as it is Rembrandt!
This is a really lovely video Maria, thank you, as always. I hope you have a lovely day. See you soon! 💗
@@ThePortlandArtStudio You're welcome! See you all tomorrow on another live! Football today!
Good morning! This is a really cute little set… i’m glad you like that gold as much as I do!
@@ThePortlandArtStudio that gold is so pretty
I was wondering about the travel waterbrush they need to make it, so when assembled, it actually fits in the travel palette 😅 I have lost so many, and I'm glad they are not expensive.
@@difficult.e Exactly everyone complaints about that!
Good morning, drinking my coffee. Rest Recharge. Protect your energy ✨️
@@difficult.e Thanks You! I finally woke up feeling myself again! Super happy to this wonderful community for hearing me out! Enjoy Saturday and see you tomorrow on another live!
@@art-alchemy🎉❤ that's great news!
Good morning! ☕️
@@ThePortlandArtStudio good morning PJ, 😃 hope all is well on this beautiful Saturday
@@difficult.e thanks! I’m having a beautiful day so far, and I hope you are too!
Thank you so much for this amazing video! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
@@KarenClark-z1g Hi Karen, I do not understand what you are asking!
Catching the replay. I had to play chauffeur yesterday, taking everybody where they needed to go.
@@difficult.e Thata ok! I just finish a cafecito live and chat. I keep dreaming of my instructor. Let me know what you think of it. Todays live. I will be back later on!
That's amazing 🤩
Thanks Maria
✨✨✨✨
How dare you go love without giving us a heads up! Im here for it regardless... especially a good oil paint play session!
Therapeutic. I'm glad you listened to your dream
@@difficult.e Good Morning Evy, It really was therapeutic 😌 ☺ ✨ I woke up with lots of energy..so it worked! I never knew that a class that was suppose to uplift you would in the end be so draining! Thanks for watching it was super fun!
@art-alchemy I have art friends in art school that had similar experiences. Art classes sucked the inspiration and joy. Being told their art style was not considered art. They get assignments and teaching a technique but if they followed the technique and added their style they were penalized and fail the assignment. It was very frustrating for them.
@difficult.e Thats crazy! My former instructor used to be very encouraging but I don't know what happend to him! A few in our class are not painters and he should have pointed them out in the right direction. No wonder many turn to you tube for self thought artistry!
5:47 so cute
I'm getting caught up on your videos. I'm cleaning my kitchen and dog sitting
26:39 so I have a question. What palette should be used for each painting medium? Specifically for acrylic, watercolor and oil. I see the different palettes, plastic, glass, wood, ceramic. I know that ceramic is used for watercolor, obviously wood would not be recommended, the wood would absorb the paint.
@@difficult.e Excellent question! Wood is used in both acrylic and oil. The pallette does absorb the oil paint whichni am on with it as I paint in very large intervals of time. The only exception was in class. Moat mix media used a butcher tray for acrylic qnd watercolor. The acrylic if it dries it peels off easily from the tray. Many also use a Masterson wet pallette which is plastic to keep acrylic paint moist a longer period of time. Watercolor can be use with just about anything as you may already know.
@@difficult.e I forgot about glass is prefer for oils and acrylics as you can clean it off very easily but also can see the colors. Its very easy to mix oil paints in glass. You just have to be careful not to break it. The paper pallette is just for convenience.
@@art-alchemy this was very helpful thank you so much
@@difficult.e Anytime! I am happy you ask!
15:36 wow fast shipping
Yes! DHL express is always on the 3rd day! Like I said this time it delayed 2 more days due to the art store not shipping it on Sunday our time. The. It delayed one more day in Germany who got the packet to the US very early in the AM. I love that they take care of customes the moment your packet gets prepared for shipping!
@@art-alchemy also I usually see a delay because of the holiday shopping.
10:58 I'm drinking my green tea here
@@difficult.e Yumm! I was drinking peppermint tea! I felt no cofee day!
@@art-alchemy peppermint tea is so good.
8:55 ooolala sennelier are so beautiful. That's a great deal. They are high quality.
@@difficult.e Yes! Sennelier all they do is artist quality products!
3:04 oooo that looks so pretty. Can't wait to see what you create in the cappuccino book
Thank you very much for your video. I would like to give you some advice, with all the love in the world, so that your publications receive more visits: you have to use a more powerful light and frame the page where you are working better. You can see a lot of shadows and the colours don't show up well. It would also help a lot if you wrote the name of each colour. I hope you don't mind my advice, you'll see that it will work very well for you.
@@olgaruizz Thank You for your suggestion 🙏 😊
I love Artemiranda. Such great deals!! I’ve actually never placed an order from Jackson’s… I always felt they were overpriced. Ken Bromley‘s has been great too. That’s an amazing deal that you got on the Rose paint. All the colors that you chose are really beautiful. Thanks for the videos! Enjoy all your goodies Maria!
@@ThePortlandArtStudio I was lucky to get a deal on Rosa paints because they put them on sale a day before! Bromley is pretty good too! Jacksons got so expensive in the last year that I no longer place anything from them. I have gotten very good deals from them more like 2 years ago. Since they left the EU they are overpriced plus shipping is more expensive so not worth it anymore!
So exciting! I haven’t received any of my orders yet… Hopefully soon!
@@ThePortlandArtStudio Hi PJ, the international mail is slow this year! I was surprised DHL Express took one day longer than expected. My other box is somewhere in the Netherlands...its probably going to be a few week for it!
2:31 Lucky Friday the 13th. Attract positivity ☺️
6:05 oh gouache is so much fun, but there is a learning curve. Watercolor is fun. American made watercolors are worth it too
Congratulations to the winner 🏆🏆🏆
Nice haul!
Thanks! There will be another one coming up!
How lovely and kind of you, Maria! Congratulations to the winner! 🎉 😃💗🎨
What a fun video with luscious pencils and surprise gifts of sparkling paints! Thanks for sharing with us and entering a giveaway is always fun.
These Luminance pencils coloring is so good and smooth 😍 I would love to enter, Hope to get win!!
Hi Maria! Yay! I’m glad you like the paint! I hope you have fun with it!! I looked on Amazon this morning, and it’s already sold out. I hope they come back in stock. I swatched them yesterday next to the Aurora from Boku undo, and I actually like the superior better! I hope you have a great day Maria thanks for the video!
Looks like one of them are yielding good!!!
They really are! Thanks for stoping by!
Lima tree? Sounds great!
Yes it's a lima tree, and I love its fragrance!
love the aquarius green, new titanium buff and misty blue. as always thank you for swatching this gorgeous palette out for us!
Hi Pham, This set was so pleasant to swatch on camera after that huge range to the creator Mr. Roman Szmal! Lol! Thanks for stopping by, happy holidays!
Nice score Maria! I just checked, and you are right, they are sold out! I haven’t tried the Roman Szmal yet. They look luscious though. You have an awesome collection!!
@@ThePortlandArtStudio Hi PJ, Yes the Aquarius paints are super opaque and creammy! Similar to Rosa paints and Remembrandt! Jackson has several different collections as well. Thank you for my gift! Maria
I just got mine from the same sale and like you just testing them out I fell in love with them. I think they've been on my wish list like 3 1/2 years or so. I wish I had bought them sooner. I just always talked myself out since I have so many other brushes and almost every artuber makes you feel bad for even thinking of getting non synthetic. But after my experience I think there was a reason the older painters of today swear by sable and squirrel they just act different and hold so much more paint. Plus if you take care of them they last. That smallest brush goes on and on and you can do some detail. I'm pretty sure the davinci you have is synthetic and the real squirrel is petite den gris or something close. I've got that one on my wish list too. However, I'm super happy with what I've got. The way you can tell if it's real hair is to watch as you put it in water and you can see the hairs start puffing right up some will pull away even and dance in the water. 😂 I too think the wiring is copper so I'm hoping it will last a very long time. They really did a great job on these brushes their isn't any wire ends poking out to hurt you the presentation and protection was spot on and the way the wires were twisted was very art fully done. Sorry didn't mean to leave a infomercial on them! 😂 I'm just excited to see someone else who just got them and wanted to geek out together. I'll stop here. 😊 Believe it or not I had to edit out a few emoticons I got so excited I turned into a preteen girl, the worst part I still couldn't bring myself to delete them all.
@@spktme Awesome! Yeah, glad someone else took a chance on them! I am super happy and yes all 3 puffed up so they are real brushes! Thanks for this wonderful review! I am definitely going to tell my viewers to use these and yes the masters were so on point with real brushes! P.S. I am entering in my holiday giveaway!
#holidaygiveaway 🎅❄⛄
Entered!
Hello Maria, How are you? 😊 I would love to enter in your giveaway 🎄
Hi Krad, I'm good and you?
@@art-alchemy I'm also doing fine!! Thanks for your reply 💕
Thank you so much, Maria! this was super generous of you! I can’t wait to get my box! 🎉
Good Morning PJ, Your box has been deliver!
Good morning Maria! I can’t wait to get my stuff! I picked up the Daniel Smith paints and the Caran d’Ache pencils too. Those brushes look beautiful! The points look amazing!
Good morning Maria and Happy Holidays!! That Grabie box is incredible!! I would love to be entered in your giveaway! Please and thank you!
@ThePortlandArtStudio Good Morning PJ, CONGRATULATIONS! You are my winner!
Thank youuu! I got the pencils! 🤩
@@ThePortlandArtStudio Awesome! We can be pencil matching! I got mine yesterday. I open the box to smell them..ohh my they are so beautiful 😍
Also, your journal is absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful work!
Thank You!
Thank you for this video, Maria! I just scored one off the Ranger site! I signed up for their email and used my welcome coupon, I can’t wait to get it! Thanks again!
Great! I love it when you go after for it with savings on top!
These are so nice! You find the coolest stuff…! These are really pretty Maria, what a beautiful set to add to your collection!
Also, I wanted one of those Dina Wakely journals forever! I hope you enjoy yours!
Have you painted with these paints yet? How did they mix together?
@@ThePortlandArtStudio HI PJ, I have not painted with these yet. I have to find a place that I can store them carefully so they don't break. I notice they act very much like gouache which is pretty awesome. I am so happy with this beautiful set. Its on sale now for around 15 dollars less than what I bought it for. Its so worth it to get it even at the price point I did. The Dina Wakely Journal is only a play type of journal. I was disappointed that the cotton paper seep through so maybe not cotton at all. I bought another one just for play. I made the video if you like to check it out.
@ thank you! I’ll have a look!
