These were my first watercolor pencils 12 years ago, and I still enjoy using them in sketchbooks. I always recommend them to people who want to get into the medium.
They really are a great starter pencil!
Really pretty! You’re work is always Outstanding!! Love all your art-
May all your family have a Very Merry Christmas ❤
I have this set along with all WCP and find they work really well, thank you for the video!!
Thank you so much! I hope you and your family also have a joyous Chirstmas! 🥰
Beautiful demostration of the koh-i-noor watercolour pencils, the butterfly is gorgeous 🌈💞
Thank you so much!!
This is a wonderful work! Congratulations! Many Blessings of Love!
Thank you so much! Many blessings to you as well! 💖
Beautiful!
Thanks, love! 💖
Beautiful piece, Shana! I did see your watercolor pencil comparison back when it came out and thought then what a clever way to compare that was. I'm glad we have you back and feeling better!
Thank you so much, Elizabeth! I'm glad to be back! 🥰
Hi Shana!!! Welcome back! I miss your videos a lot! You know that lol😅 this is so beautiful as always Shana🥰, I love the way you paint with colored pencils or water soluble pencils! I'm enjoy very much your process. And, finally I can enjoyed my cup of coffee and watch your videos!!! Thank you for doing this❤❤❤
Thank you so much, Claritza. I missed being here. I'm so glad I get to have coffee with you, even if it's just virtually! As always, thank you for watching! 💖🥰
@@CautionArtistatPlay of course, that would be very nice, cheers! 🥰☕ sending big hugs 🤗💜
@claritzairosario68 sending hugs right back to you!
@@CautionArtistatPlay 🤗
Man, that is a gorgeous butterfly! I’m glad you are better, that virus really kicked you.
Yeah, the cold symptoms themselves weren't so bad, but they dragged on, and the exhaustion was out of this world! I tested negative for Covid, but I still think it's a possibility because of the way it dragged on. I am still getting tired spells, and it's been like a month since I came down with it.
Hi Shana, thank you for your review and for bringing this brand under my radar. And turns out this koh i noor 76-color set is sold for USD20 here and available open stock. That's great value for money! And I noticed they have the progresso aquarelle line as well. I wonder how these two lines compare.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm happy they are readily available where you are, and for all good price! I have some of their regular Progresso colored pencils, and they feel quite comparable to their Polycolors. I feel like they use the same core, just without the wooden casing. Don't quote me on that, though, lol. I don't remember if I have tried the Aquarelle Progresso. I don't currently own any. I would think it would be a similar situation, though! I love the feel of the Progresso pencils. They are nice in the hand!
@@CautionArtistatPlay Thanks for the quick response! Will definitely try some of these. I also have the inktense set and I got a lot of inspiration from your videos!
You're welcome! I'm glad my videos inspire you! 🥰
You did an incredible job!! 🥰 It looks like a photograph!! 👍 So realistic! 🦋
Thank you so much! 💖
@@CautionArtistatPlay You are quite welcome!! 🤗
🥰
It came out so beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 🥰
Although I haven't used Mondulez, I have used Koh-i-Noor's woodless colored pencils, both WC and not, although they are not my primary pencil. What I really like about the ones I've used, though, is that their colors have just a slight touch of earthiness, and I like that.
Their woodless pencils are beautiful, I have some of their regular woodless colored pencils, they are fun to work with, and feel nice in the hand! I like having an earthy look to my colors, too, since I do a lot of art inspired by nature.
I always find it so much fun and so inspiring to watch your process! If you had a patreon with longer videos or more tutorial-like videos, I would totally sign up!! 😀
Thank you, that is so good to know! I have a Patreon account, but I haven't really done anything with it yet because it has been hard to dedicate the time. If and when I finally get it up and running, I will announce it on the channel! 🥰
That is a beautiful butterfly!! ❤
Thank you, Teresa!! 💖
Honestly Shana, for a piece painted whilst you were feeling so horrible, it is beautiful. I have the 24 Mondeluz pencils too, and have liked playing with them to try to become more used to the idea of watercolour pencils before I used my Faber Castel, 24 set and my 20 set of Museum Aquarelle - it’s a set before they started curating them, which I find frustrating. Keep well as we head into the colder weather once more. Autumn has arrived along with a touch of winter here in the Highlands of Scotland. Brrr… 🥰🎨👩🏻🎨🖌️
Thank you so much, Anita! These are definitely great starter pencils while you are getting used to the medium!
Sounds like it's starting to get chilly there! I bet it's beautiful, though! I hope you stay warm and healthy as well!
I say prefer this brand to Derwent Inktense and believe they are less prone to being fugitive. My set of 36 came in a cardboard box, also with a brush and very extremely good value. I do not mind at all a slightly grainy look as I like to layer them over graphite drawings, so a different technique to yours with a very different look. Your work is fantastic by the way, love it! I do think these pencils are very good and stand up to a lot of the much more expensive competitors. Here in Europe they are probably much easier to get. The cheaper version like mine does not have the coloured ends, other than that and the box they are identical. It’s all about the talent really, not the livery of the tools. Koh-I-boor is such an old established brand, well trusted for all sorts of art and stationery needs.
Thank you!! These are awesome pencils and a great value! I wish they were easier to come by here. I recently did a comparison video with the Mondeluz, Inktense, Derwent Watercolor, Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer, Caran d'Ache Supracolor and Museum Aquarell pencils. I was surprised to see how well these held up against the more expensive brands. That being said, when comparing lightfast ratings, the Inktense has less fugitive colors and more excellent rated colors than these do. The Inktense pencils actually have really good lightfast ratings, despite their reputation. They were the third most lightfast line among the brands I compared, just behind the Albrecht Durer and the Museum Aquarelle. However, the Modeluz line does have less fugitive colors than the regular Derwent Watercolor pencils. They have the same amount of colors rated excellent, though. I enjoy working with these more than I do the Derwent Watercolor pencils, but the Inktense still remain a top favorite of mine. It all really comes down to personal preference. Sorry for that tangent, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to this stuff! Lol Thank you so much for watching, I'm glad that you enjoy working with the Mondeluz. They really are great, especially for their price!
Awesome video! Thank you.
Thank you, Dianne!! 💖
I totally hear your chickens saying hello 😀 I bought that palette after your suggestion an other time and I'm still to use it, but I definitely will. I love using various methods with my Inktense. I used to just yes palette sheets and scribble the pencil on it and then pick it up with water.
Your husband had a good eye with this photo 🙂
Haha! We have like 5 roosters right now because we haven't been able to rehome them yet. They love to have crowing competitions. It makes it nearly impossible to have a voice-over without at least one of them making themselves known! Lol.
I'm glad you have been enjoying the techniques I use! I hope you enjoy the palette when you get the chance to use it! The palette sheets are a great idea, too!
Yes, he did a great job with that reference photo. He was so excited to send it to me. As soon as I saw it, I just knew I was going to have to draw it! 🥰
So pretty!
Thank you!! 🥰
I have a few of them, not many but they are pretty easy to get here obvs 😜, and usually what is recommended to students on a budget since you still can end up with a nice piece of work
They are a great budget pencil for sure! I wish they were easier to get open stock here. Maybe some day, lol!
i have a hard time finding open stock pencils here, can get some derwent brands, polychromos, but to get any other brands i prob have to go to Edinburgh to get them and thats too far away for pencils lol
@fuzzydragons, oh darn, that's tough! I'm thankful that most of the brands I use are readily available, at least in the stores I order from online. We don't have a ton of fine art supply stores local to where I live, just a few big box craft stores. They don't carry a lot of the artist grade brands, though.
we had a great art store in the closest city but it closed down not too long after hobbycraft opened :( but ordering online is cheaper most of the time now anyway if i need anything :)
@fuzzydragons bummer that they closed down! Yeah, online does tend to be cheaper than in store, especially if it's a smaller shop. Though, it's nice to support local if you have something local and can afford it, lol.
what do you think of the castle art watercolors pencils or the Karat Aquarell de Staedtler?
Hey there! I haven't tried those pencils yet. I have been looking at possibly buying some of the Staedtler ones because a few people have requested them. I haven't really looked into the Castle Art ones. Do you like them?
How on earth do you know what color to paint each segment and how to shade it? I am amazed. It’s like you’re painting by number on a very detailed drawing you drew yourself.
Thank you! The color choices and mixes come from years of trial and error working with color. However, using a color picking tool can help, too. Most photo editing programs have one. It's an eye dropper tool that allows you to click on a part of your reference photo, and it will show what color you are looking at. I will use that on occasion when I have been staring at my own piece for too long. It helps to assure me that I'm on the right track with what I am mixing. A color picking tool can also help you to train your eye to see what's really there. Most of my mixes are done intuitively, after years of training my eye to really look at my reference, but it's always good to have a tool to help when you get stumped! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Also how much time do you have in creating this piece
Hey Rob, looking back on the footage, it looks like it took me around 5 hours to do.
Good review
Thank you!
Hi Shanna,
I really like your hair in this way 😁 you look a bit tired though. Are doing okay?
Your piece of art is gorgeous as usual 😍
Thank you! I was still coming off of some sort of virus when I filmed this intro. I'm doing much better, but it has been really draining. That's probably where the tired look came from, lol. Thank you for looking out for me! 🥰
@@CautionArtistatPlay your welcome. I just think you’re a kind person. So the ‘caring-part’ comes automatically with me☺️
@@CautionArtistatPlayby the way. Did you ever used w/c pencils from Bruynzeel? I just discovered that I still have that set from years ago 😱
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me 💖. You are a wonderful person, too, and I always enjoy our conversations. I have not tried their watercolor pencils! I have tried their regular colored pencils and enjoyed them quite a bit!
@@CautionArtistatPlaywhoops, I haven’t seen your latest response. Is that a TH-cam-thing? That you don’t always get the notifications 🤔
Anyway, I have tried the WC from Bruynzeel and holy cow! They are really bad 😳 the colours were so ugly that I started my butterfly again but now with Inktense.
My first butterfly in the style you did. It was a challenge for me because I have never
Done landscape, florals etc. It’s almost finished. 🤩
