First off Happy birthday 🎂! Never apologize for having a bunch of colors and brands. As a creator you often become a curator. You can't review or compare products if you haven't used them and while two brands have the same pigment the paint can be soooooo different. Lovely birthday haul! Hope you enjoy!
Thank you so much!! Absolutely, thank you and it is so nice to have a new friend like you who understands. ;D I've gotten some really hateful comments, some were so mean I had to block them. Yes, exactly!!! Thank you, I'm enjoying them so much I'm behind editing my March videos. Lol
@@TheGypsyChic1 ya I get those comments too. People can be quite harsh but they often don't understand. 💜
I'm so sorry...I was hoping you wouldn't have just yet. My crafty ladies were so much kinder, as I'm sure you colorist friends are. Most days I can rise above it and stay kind.
Oh, it would be much harder if I read a comment on you or other creators channels.
Thanks for sharing your haul items! It helps me to see new items so I can make an informed decision when I go to purchase. 🌸🎨
Thanks, Deb!! Thank you for using the videos exactly how I intended them to be used!
I tend to take the minimalist approach just by my nature. I don't like having too many things which is why I, yet again, went through my things and gave my granddaughter some things and sold some other things. I get to feeling overcrowded or weighted down with too many things, even clothes or pretty much anything else. However, that is me. My choice. In my opinion it's no one else's business what you do, what you like to do and what you choose to spend your money on. I do like to watch others who get happy trying new things, particularly watercolors, and I get to see all kinds of products in action. It also helps me be more discerning with my own purchasing choices. So you be you, you do you, and forget about the naysayers!
Thank you!! I hope to be like you, even with art supplies some day... I am that way with clothes, shoes, and most other things. A lot of women love lots of shoes and jewelry, etc. Art supplies are my only splurge, and they make me so happy! I just love trying them all, and giving what I don't love to my kids or donating them. Thank you, that is exactly why I'm sharing these videos!! I so happy to know they help you make a more informed choice. That is exactly why I keep sharing. Thanks, I do my best to ignore them.
This was such a fun video! I love watching you swatch and play! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!
Every time I watch you I find myself placing an order 😂 I love your videos you always find the nicest stuff!
Haha, it's so fun though!! Thank you so much!
I love how long your videos are , playing with art supplies and watching your joy in it gives me joy, art and art supplies give me the same joy! I feel like it does any way, I don’t know how much longer I have as I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer and they took me offf any treatment but basically pain meds , which all sucks I’m too young to die but it’s coming for me , I’m sorry I didn’t mean to bum anyone out , anyway joy from art supplies is what the comment was meant to be
Oh Deborah, I'm so incredibly sorry to hear about your illness. Thank you for the comment, I'm very glad to know I could bring you some joy during your most difficult days. Sending virtual hugs and prayers. ;(
Wow Stephanie, what an amazing video! This was definitely a big haul! And I loved seeing all the different mediums you bought. But like you, my heart just melts watching you swatch watercolors. I absolutely love the old Holland violet gray and turquoise, they are gorgeous! I’m definitely gonna have to add those to my wish list. I also loved that calligraphy gift set that you bought! I always wanted to learn calligraphy myself, but now that I’m older I don’t think I have the patience for it either! Lol. I have enough craft supplies tween card making, scrapbooking and water coloring that I need to stay focused on those! Lol. I had bought gouache a couple years ago from Holbein. I think there was 10 in the set? I have never touched them! If you know of any channels on TH-cam that are good, and can teach me about gosh that would be great! If not, I’ll probably send them to you if that’s something you’d be interested in? Thank you so much for sharing, I’m always checking your channel to see if you’ve posted a new video! I think it would be awesome if you could pick out all your favorite colors from all your different brands and tell us which paints made it to number one! 😊❤️👌🏼🖋🖌 🎨 ✍🏼 💗
Thank you, Liz! Your messages for me are why I finally edited this video!! So, thank you for the love! Thank you, it was so much swatching all these. The Old Holland Violet Gray and Turquoise are new favorites for me, for sure. I'm going to be watching for sales to try more colors. Thanks and haha, yep...I don't think I have the patience now to be so fussy. But, also I prefer modern calligraphy. I'm only investing in art supplies now, because I've realized crafting filled the creative gap and I made tons of friends...but how many bunny or mice stamps can I use?!? So, I agree 100%.
Aw, thank you that is so sweet of you! I think you should keep your Holbein gouache, it's really nice!! I have one video here on my channel, a review for Arteza gouache. I drew and painted a sea turtle, so please watch that before you consider giving your gouache away
@@TheGypsyChic1 I give you a lot of credit for doing these videos and all the editing! I wouldn’t even know what to do!?! I might have ideas for videos, but creating them and editing them is a whole different story! So keep up the good work, I really and truly do look forward to your videos! They are fun, enjoyable, relaxing and sometimes can even be costly! Lol I just ordered 19 more schminke tubes (5ml), I really didn’t have many neutrals in my Schminke collection. (I have plenty of neutrals in other brands, but really wanted the Schminke ones!) 😂 am I kind of crazy? Maybe! But it’s my one true love! ❤️ ! I’m getting them today! So I’ll be doing a bunch of swatching myself! And like I said before my friend, don’t pay any attention to negative comments! You do you, and enjoy it! The people that enjoy it will leave you nice comments, the others just don’t understand our passion! 😊💗🎨🖌
Thanks! I have to find a way with less editing, lol. Yes, I a have a million ideas for videos but just not enough time. Thanks, I'm happy to hear you look forward to my videos. I'm sorry, I hope to save people money by seeing the swatches lol.. I hope you love your Schmincke neutrals!! Not crazy at all, you do you...whatever makes you happy!! To me, Schmincke neutrals are hit or miss. Have you tried the Schmincke Dot Card? I would definitely recommend that! Thanks, I'm trying! You are sooo right!
Drooling over the Yama budo! Happy birthday 🥳
Thanks!! It's one of my favorite fountain pen inks. Thank you!!
Sarah Burns is super fun! I love gouache and the palette does keep the paint wet. Thanks for sharing!
Yes, she is great! Good to know. I'm enjoying it so far. Thanks for watching!
Still waiting to see your art work with your new gouache! Loved all your newbies!!👍👍😃🥰🎨👋💖
Thank you so much! 😀 I will be sharing my artwork with gouache hopefully by the end of this month. Thanks for the request! ;)
I found this video very informative. So many products I have been curious about, now I have an idea about how they work. You should check out Steve Mitchell’s video on his top gouache paints, I learned a lot from it. He compares several brands and discusses opacity and lightfastness. Thank you for sharing your experience and explorations of art products.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you, I love Steve Mitchell's videos. He taught me a lot about watercolors in the beginning of my art journey. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a nice comment!
I loved your haul! So funny - I was trying to remember what that gouache travel set with water pot was called - and there you were! I ordered one today. You can use it for watercolour too!
Thank you, Helen!! Haha, yay for a new palette! I hope you enjoy it. Yes, you absolutely could use it for watercolors too. Though, for me it is too hard to open to be worth the trouble...but I can be lazy like that. ;D Thanks again for recommending the WS Potter's Pink, it is such a pretty color!
@@TheGypsyChic1 plastic palettes often 'ease' in time - if you open it and close it a few times it might get less stiff? Worth a try. Glad you like the W&n potters pink - I find it the pinkiest pink of all the potters pinks!
Very nice I like all your art stuff.
Thank you so much 😀
Yikes.. need to make a pot of coffee so I can sit down and enjoy ; )
Thanks!! Ha, sorry it is so long. I hope you enjoyed!
Maybe I’m old-fashioned,but it’s up to you what you spend your money on, I haven’t been able to sketch, draw or paint for 15 years, so all my supplies are old and things have changed. Watching channels like yours is re educating people like myself. It all allows me to see some products that I would probably not have seen otherwise and to choose the specific products, I can or want to buy my limited budget.
Whilst I understand a lot of people are struggling financially that should never mean it is alright to take their struggle out on you.
Please don’t listen to a hateful people or comments. I know it can be harder said than done, but please don’t take their thoughtless comments to heart.
Your passion is obvious and should not be criticised by anyone. I enjoy your content, thank you
Thank you so much!! It makes me so happy to hear you are using my channel as I intended it to be used. I went through many years of struggling, and then found ways to purchase what I love now. It is very hard to keep sharing, with all the hate lately. I really only have time for haul videos or reviews, at this time in my life. My children are almost grown, but at this stage they are still my priority. So comments like your really help me so much. Thank you!!
Too late for me to enjoy this - it is 12.30 at night but will watch this in th e morning with my tea! Helen x
Aw, thanks! Yes, it's a long video...and very long over due since I've had computer problems. I mentioned you!
Hahaha, I got halfway through it while eating dinner after work, but I will also have to finish it tomorrow. 😊
@@MirandaWatsonArt Thanks, I hope you enjoyed!
@@TheGypsyChic1 yes, definitely!
Hey its your money buy as many as you want your not hurting anyone.
Exactly!
Thanks, that is how I feel... I'm just trying to share the swatches and possible save other people money by seeing it is similar to another color. ;D
My fear of ruining brushes has been preventing me from using my Bombay India ink. I’ve decided to use older brushes and buy cheap brushes (such as from the dollar store ) specifically for them! and moving forward will use them. This fear of destroying brushes has made be truly barely use the inks in the 6 years I’ve owned them. I also periodically shake them back up to help fix settling but still need to push myself to actually use them!
Yes, I waited to use my India inks and shellac based inks for the same reason. I purchased some better brushes, so I'm chancing it with the cheaper brushes now and they are so fun! I think you should use them, as soon as you can! They are so fun!!
I really like that the turq cobalt doesnt granulate- I think gran colors look cheap! Unless they are 2 tone. And that color is hard to find like that!
Thank you, Tisa! I find sometimes I love paint that granulates, other times I don't. So it is great to have some of each for different painting styles. Yes, it is hard to find one that still looks real!
You can easily refill empty Micron Pigma “disposable” pens… just pull the nib with tweezers and use a syringe to drip in some Indian/Bombay ink … which is both cheap AND waterproof! (And now I see you already have some, hehe 12:33)
Also, don’t be afraid of your shellacs, people say don’t use in FP’s but those people are purists… or have $1000 pens… or the same people who say you can’t watercolour paint UNLESS you use 100% cotton paper….. pfffttttt.
Anyways….I too was scared and researched and wondered and feared, people say no NEVER, other people say yes, it’s fine…. but I wanted waterproof so I finally just caved over 2-3 years ago and decided to risk it…. And I now have beautiful waterproof Carbon Black and De Atramentis in my Lamys, my Metros and also in my cheaper $5 Schneider Easy FPs, and I’ve left some of them for over 6 months/a year between use and they all still write/draw perfectly, no clogs, etc (I last checked and refilled them 2 weeks ago - and again now, since I was inspired). So yeah, don’t be scared, FPs are so great for sketching and artwork with a good waterproof ink in them! And hey, like you say here, 19:08, it’s my art, I can do it the way I want! 🤪😂 besides, it’s just a pen at the end of the day, you can always buy another one 🤗
Thanks so much for the tip!! I think someone mentioned that, but I haven't tried to refill it yet. Yes, I have some! ;D
I like using the Shellacs with a glass dip pen, then I can enjoy without being worried. But, yes...there are fun ways to break all of the rules and I'm learning to just enjoy products without being afraid of ruining things.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!! I've also used Carbon black ink in Lamy's and TWSBI's with no issues. My favorite pen to use the Carbon Black ink is still a Sailor Promenade. I'm not sure if it is the 14 kt gold nib or what, but it is an absolute joy to draw with! I would rather take a chance and enjoy it, than let the products sit unloved. YES, it's my art and can play however I want! ;D I'm just going to be more careful what I share here, so I don't get yelled at. Lol I have been scared to try the De Atramentis ink that I purchased awhile back...I do need to just try it! Thanks for the lovely comments!
@@TheGypsyChic1 Haha, the funny thing is I also bought a beautiful glass pen at the same time as my FP… and I still haven’t used it cos I’m afraid, both cos it’s so pretty …and I’m scared of making a mess. Looks like I need to take my own advice there too! 😂😂😂
Yes, you should try it! They are fun and very useful I find, since they are so easy to clean. 💗
Great video thank you for sharing all these wonderful supplies! What is your favourite art store?
Thank you!! I love Jackson's Art Supply in the UK, and DickBlick in the USA. Depending on who has the best prices. ;)
Love how long the videos are. I can put you in the background while I play with my own art supplies. 🖤 and as some who loves playing and buying art supplies, ignore nasty comments about buying so many things. It’s your money and while some people buy expensive shoes and jewelry, us artist want some good supplies. Simple as that. Plus look at all the colors and shines?! How are your not supposed to buy them?
Ah, thank you so much!! I'm worried some are too long, but the seem more relaxing for me to make. Thank you!! YES, I agree 100%. Haha, I've sold a lot of jewelry, etc to purchase many of my supplies. ;D Nice comments like yours really help, so thank you so much for the comment! It's so nice to find my people!!
The problem with watching your videos is I want to go shopping!
Sorry! ;D Try shopping your studio first!! When I watch other people's hauls, that is what I do. Plus, lots of paints can be mixed. If I really want something I will add it to my cart, and see if in a week I still want it. I hope that helps! ;)
Wow! Those Daler Rowney pearlescent inks are just stunning!! I just found a TH-camr myself who is teaching Gouache and she also does Watercolour and liquid watercolour as well. She is one of the best online teachers I've found so far! Her name is Jenna Rainey you should check her out ♡.
Thanks for showing us all of these goodies!
Thank you!! Aren't they gorgeous, I love them! Thanks for the suggestion, I have two of her books. You are so welcome. Thanks for watching!
Don’t feel bad buying and keeping and using art supplies! Whether one has a TH-cam channel or not. If it brings people joy it’s valid. Also it’s our choice how we spend our money. These people sound bitter, jealous, hateful and controlling. Ignore the trolls. Discard invalid, cruel and other not well intended comments. They are coming from a bad place and therefore should be ignored.
Thank you! Clearly they are not keeping me from enjoying all my beautiful supplies. I agree 100%
Interessanti questi pastelli. Hanno una mina più doppia rispetto ai soliti pastelli.
Sembrano pastelli a carboncino 😍. Mi piacerebbe comprarli per farci una recensione sul YT. Faresti un video dedicato ai pastelli? Tks
Thank you!! I used google translate to read your comment. I'm not sure which pastels you are referring to, but I'm more than happy to do a video soon dedicated to using pastels. Thanks so much for the request!
@@TheGypsyChic1 non sono brava con l'inglese 😅 e anche io uso Google t (non questa volta perché non mi fa copiare il tuo commento da cellulare). Mi riferisco ai pastelli al minuto 1:28. Mi piace moltissimo il tuo canale 😘
@@TheGypsyChic1 coloured pencil
@@archidream Thank you so much!! I'm so happy you love my channel! I'm so thankful to google translate, so I can make art friends all of the world!
@@archidream Yes, I should have some colored pencil videos coming soon! Thanks for the request.
I accidentily hit the thumbs down button and instantly took it back but it said it shared it with the creator and it was a missclick.
Lol, you are so sweet!
@@TheGypsyChic1 I felt so bad lol
Aw, that is so sweet of you to care.
The clasp on that palette is a pain. You didn’t break it. It just comes off and can be difficult to open. Word of advice, do not fill the palettes all the way up. It’s messy.
Thanks!! Yes, it's still kind of a pain almost two months later ;( Haha, awesome tip...I hope everyone reads it. I was stingy filling, because I didn't know if it would really work and those Schmincke gouache tubes are like gold. So far, it is staying wet! ;D
