This is one of the most well thought out and curated boxes from Sketchbox! Those Derwent drawing pencils look so good, but that white pen looks incredible. Hard to find a good white pen that goes over stuff.... and this looks to do just that. Love the campfire. Thanks for sharing!
Oh that campfire came out lovely! I love the little fire crackles. I hate hate hate charcoal and pastels normally (texture ick), but something about these rembrandt are.. actually okay? The coating on the outside made them fine to hold, I had fun with a pastel. I love this box so much for that. Also the Derwent drawing pencils are gorgeous to use, I wish they weren't so pricey for a set.
I agree about these Rembrandt pastels! They weren't bad! If I ever bought a full set of pastels I'd consider these for sure! When I bought my Derwent drawing pencils I got the set of 24 for $40 which at the time was an ok deal but now would be a STEAL! They do go on sale on Amazon from time to time, if I ever see them on sale I'll make sure to post it in the community tab!
I am a pastel artist. Don't us any fixative, they darken paintings and hairspray is not archival. My recommendation is to put in a plastic sleeve or put tracing paper or glacine paper over.
I love it. That's very impressive. Pastels can be very intimidating. Yes
Thank you! I feel like I'm getting better!
Great box. You can use an aerosol hair spray as a fixative for pastel art you aren’t selling. It works great!
Ooooo thank you for the tip! I'll have to try that!
Great unboxing video! I’d have to say that you are my favorite channel for SketchBox unboxings! 😍
Awwww Pam you made my day!
I use hair spray as a fixative. It works! That's what I used with the blue charcoal Sketchbox last year.
Nice! That's great to know!

Try some hair spray for the fixative.
