28 years ago ,i did an exhibition in japan . While there i purchased a large paint brush. Today i still use the same brush on every painting. Even know my dog ate the handle off it. Iv never found a better brush since. Japan is quality. The people and there workmanship. From Australia 🦘
I love Japanese art supplies. One of my favorites, as an artist who works with pastels, is Gondola. The laydown is like butter! Pigment rich and so so blendable. I treated myself to them a few days ago, and I cannot put them down. Kuretake Clean Color markers are another favorite of mine, especially the darker earthy tones. I used them to made a set of holiday greeting cards in the style of etegami for my family last year.
Your work with the flowers and fruit is first class. The texture and the graduated colour of the oranges is a real focus puller particularly against the more monochromatic bowl. And what a score with the washi tape with animals and flora, it is extremely cute indeed. I wonder if there were tapes with cats. I shop online sometimes when I am replacing used supplies, but there is a certain atmosphere in an art supply shop. Inside a shop there is the ability to smell paints, chalks, crayons, pencils, paper, and additives. The store also often has a unique smell made up of all the contents. The other big plus of being at a supply store is the tactility or tangibleness of items. The texture or lack of with paper, boards, canvas, the ergonomics of tools like brushes and knives. Just the ability to feel the resistance or springiness of the brush hairs or monofilaments. And often the opportunity to use a mark maker to see how it works on a surface. Thanks for the video reviewing your purchases and your thoughts on the supplies and stores.
I have bought my first gouche due to your inspiring videos and am enjoying it very much. Also the washi tape and stationary is so much fun. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Looking very much forward to your stay in Paris. Much Love ❤ Alana
If you're in London and looking for holbine paints or turner paints, check at Jackson's art in Dalston! Last time I was in the shop they had both available :D (also they do click and collect which is often faster then delivery!)
Thank you so much for the video💜 I just wanted to let you know I found some Holbein Acrylic Gouache in Jackson Art Shop at the start of the year, they have a few stores in London
You survived the bitey cat at Atlantis then 😂. I went nuts in Sekaido when we visited recently, it was only lack of luggage space that stopped me bankrupting myself!
Lovely video! Japan has THE best art stores ever. I follow a gal named Inky Rocks on YT. She does fountain pens and ink and lives in Japan and shows alot of FP stores there and supplies. I learned about Holbien from you. So interesting. Thanks for sharing. Your art is beautiful! Susan in Az❤️🏜️
A very interesting walk-through of different bŕands. I would have liked to see how they mix. As far as I saw it you're using the color strait from the tubes. 🎨👍
Love the little pause showing the wall that ISN'T decorated😂😂 I used gouache once,but I hated it because the colors I got in an art box didn't go well together. I own 4 tubes of turner acryl gouache but I only did one painting. The cat store looks so cute,I would have probably bought cat stickers..a lot of cat stickers😂 Thanks for showing what you bought😊 I think the big brush you bought will be more useful for watercolor
Thanks for sharing! I love Japanese art supplies. Holbein is my brand for gouache and acrylic gouache. The polytube (gekkoso gouache tube) is better than aluminum tube. It is soft and easier to squeeze. Im surprised you didnt look at their aluminum palette. Theyre quite famous for that. Bumpodo has produced some really cool palettes too. I have some of them. Im going to Tokyo in May so I wont be able to visit the holbein showroom and gwasendo but that could be my 4th trip to Japan 😆
So cool! I looove Gekkō-sō gouache but I thought I'd love their polytube more (thanks for the proper name! ^^)… always squeeze too much 😆 I did check out their aluminium palette, but I can't stand the noise of brushing or scratching on aluminium, that's too sad. Honestly thinking about going back to Japan again at the end of the year. Their art stores are just too good!
You should do a video discussing your take on color theory! Your eye for color is exquisite 😍 I also find it difficult to buy art supplies online. There are too many brands out there and not enough reviews. Do you notice anything when mixing gouaches from different brands? I always wondered about this since the composition of each brand is different and my collection is quite limited.
Thank you so much ❤️ for the gouache, depending on the brands they definitely mix together differently. I currently use Linel, Maimeri, Holbein and Turner together and they do mix up well actually, as their textures are similar. The colours come out really well and don't separate either 😊 and so far, no issue mixing Acryla with traditional gouache either
Years convinced that Holbein was German. TIL! Also, there are 2 ways to pronounce «squirrel», British and American where American squishes the word in one syllable while British pronounces it as two syllables. You pronounced it perfectly, so don't worry, your English is impeccable (^--^)
my main complaint with the Holbein is the drying time, the pigments are nice, but you can't use more than 1 color or it dries on the palette, maybe I will try Turner
Such a cool video !! You are coming to France ?? Are you going to make an art supply haul again ? (I'm in Paris and it's so hard not to buy any art supplies when I visit the stores ...😂)
I use synthetic brushes from Tintoretto and of course the ones from Holbein & Chelsea ^^. I tend to look for soft and fine synthetic hair that have a certain firmness, for easier control 😇
Wait! How...HOW...do you not have paint and ink and other stuff all over your drawing board! I have the saame one and it's COVERED! And I am constantly cleaning all my supplies!🤣🤣
@@pawshire Currently, Blick has them on sale for $6.34 per 20ml tube which is the lowest price that I have seen in a while. So $6.34, which is almost four times more expensive than in Japan, is considered a deal in the US 😒.
At the shop there was an English sign that clarifying that "non transparent watercolor is gouache" on these tubes (it's on my Tokyo art stores video). So these tubes are supposed to be gouache from what the staff told me😊

You saying "butter" make me want to try! I am not even a pastels person 😆
Woah, I love how intentional you are with your purchase😮 and I'm glad seeing you looks genuinely having fun shopping in previous videos🎉
This was such a relaxing watch :)
Yes you nailed it! Squirrel well done. An enjoyable video, so wish I was able to get to Japan😜
🐿️😝
what a lovely video 💙 writing down all those art stores for when i go to Japan some day :)
Thank you 😺

Thank you for your kind comment! Ah yes, the way you describe art stores make me so want to be there right now! ❤️
Oh those colors are beautiful.

Wow! I'm sorry for influencing you to buy gouache 🤣 how have you been been enjoying it?
@@pawshireAll spring oriented with lots of greens and flowers 🌸 🌷😊❤ 🌺
You’re so patient to wait three years! Love your videos and art!
😎🤭 Thankyou for watching!
What an amazing review, I love it ☺☺☺
💕 Glad you enjoyed!
I loved seeing all those beautiful gouache colours! The painting you’re working on is really beautiful.💙
😊💕

I definitely will this summer! After coming back from London last year so many people kept telling me I should have gone to Jackson's 😆
Thank you so much for the video💜 I just wanted to let you know I found some Holbein Acrylic Gouache in Jackson Art Shop at the start of the year, they have a few stores in London
Yes! Many comments under my London Art stores video have suggested that as well. I'm definitely going this summer 😊 thank you!
This is so cool!
😺

My luggage was also the thing that kept me sane 😎

🎨👍
They mix together quite well! I will show in a future video :)
Holbein makes 150 ml sized tubes of their white too!
Oh that's cool!

Haha, thank you! It's not so easy to pronounce 😆😎
my main complaint with the Holbein is the drying time, the pigments are nice, but you can't use more than 1 color or it dries on the palette, maybe I will try Turner
It's true! I use a small water spray to keep the paint from drying too fast 👌
I am obsessed with Holbein. Have you tried the water colours? ❤
Not yet, but I will in December! 😊
I wouldn't know it's you who made that organiser. it looks like delivery box.
🤣
Such a cool video !! You are coming to France ?? Are you going to make an art supply haul again ? (I'm in Paris and it's so hard not to buy any art supplies when I visit the stores ...😂)
I was in Paris at the end of the year! 😸
@@pawshire awww ok! Hope you enjoyed your time there!!
I just come back from Japan, it’s a pity I didn’t see this video before😢😢😢😢
Oh, too sad!
I’m off to Fukuoka next month. Any art supply shop recommendations there?
I'm heading there myself in December! I'm actually doing some research 🤓
@ I did some googling and found Loft and Bumpodo
Hello! What are good brushes to use with acry-gouache? I loved your video, it’s inspired me to buy some paints.
I use synthetic brushes from Tintoretto and of course the ones from Holbein & Chelsea ^^. I tend to look for soft and fine synthetic hair that have a certain firmness, for easier control 😇
@@pawshire thank you so much! I'll look into the ones you've mentioned.
Please tell me where you found your tabletop easel - it looks like a great size,
I found it in a local store where I am, It's an A2 easel from Danube.
Wait! How...HOW...do you not have paint and ink and other stuff all over your drawing board! I have the saame one and it's COVERED! And I am constantly cleaning all my supplies!🤣🤣
I have another board I use for drafts 🤭🤭
256 JPY is currently $1.69 USD. If only I could buy Turner and Holbein gouache in the US at those prices! 😭
How much do they sell for in the US?
@@pawshire Currently, Blick has them on sale for $6.34 per 20ml tube which is the lowest price that I have seen in a while. So $6.34, which is almost four times more expensive than in Japan, is considered a deal in the US 😒.
You know Jackson’s art supply shop have those
Yes I'm going there next week 😊
I think you mistook the gekkoso watercolours as gouache which explains why its so pigmented. The kanji 透明水彩 means watercolour
At the shop there was an English sign that clarifying that "non transparent watercolor is gouache" on these tubes (it's on my Tokyo art stores video). So these tubes are supposed to be gouache from what the staff told me😊
But now I'm curious. Is watercolour supposed to be more pigmented than gouache? I had no idea! 🎨
didnt need to watch the video…. yes they are worth the hype
😬
