Jackson's Art supply haul! | Black Friday Haul | Watercolour & Gouache Supplies
Just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet, you can't stock watercolor paper, as the sizing will deteriorate making the paper improper for watercolors (basically the paper will absorb the water too fast, making weird marks around the pigments) so if you have high quality paper, use it. Replace it when you're out of stock (or close to being out of stock).
@@SketchesnScrubs ha that's great! I had to learn it the hard way ^^' good thing I work in many media, so I can still use the paper for other things!
You are so hilarious. Every time you reached into that box, I got giddy. It felt like my haul. On the bad/good side, now I have to go shopping. If feels better in my heart if I can blame you for all of the money that I am about to spend. The heart wants what the heart wants, right?
Seriously, you're my biggest art youtuber discovering, soooo real, funny and adorable
Yaaaaaaayyyy! Oh my goodness thank you for the shout out. How cute the palette is!! I’m sorry it was so hard to find! Your edits were so awesome, this was so engaging and fun start to finish. Also I’m never ready for how stunning you are. 🤩👏🤗🥰👍🖌🎨 So well done!!
Hello there... iam a full time professional artist and Bookbinder and I always have random art videos playing on my monitors in my art studio when ever iam in here working. Just a tip, always spend more on 100% cotton paper... then the paints, if you are on a tight budget. Just make the switch to cotton and work out what brand you like best... because if you keep using cheap wood pulp papers to get better, than switch to 100% cotton... well it's like learning and progressing ALL OVER AGAIN. Cotton and wood pulp papers are sooooo different and if you keep using cheaper paper... you will get so used to it, that you will struggle with switching to cotton. I make my own line of goatskin leather bound watercolor sketchbooks with the choice of Arches, Saunders Waterford or Fabriano Artistico... and I use Saunders Waterford for my artwork. If you reside in Europe, Saunders Waterford is cheaper there and better than Arches IMO. Don't buy pads or blocks either!! They are EXTREMELY over priced... buy the large imperial sheets 22" × 30" sheets and cut or rip them to size... or what I do, I buy the large industrial rolls of watercolor papers. I know that sounds crazy for an artist that doesn't make books like I do... or paint everyday, but it's sooooo much cheaper than buying pads or blocks. A block of Arches cold press 300 gsm 12 × 16" runs for around 80$ usd. There are only 20 sheets in that block.... now I buy a roll of Arched cold press 300 gsm for $ 265 usd and that roll is literally 46" wide by 10 YARDS... THATS 30 FOOT OF PAPER!!! so a Arches block is about 90% less the size of that roll... but yet... almost 1/3 the price. That's insane!! Lol the imperial large sheets of that paper here in the US go for around 4$... and that is almost the size of 4 of those sheets in that block. Blocks and pads are rip offs... just some food for thought lol.. ohhhh and the Saunders Waterford roll of their bright white, 300 gsm cold press paper goes for around 400$ usd .... but that roll is 64" wide and alittle short of 13 yards long. So you buy 1 roll and you have more than enough paper to waste, practice, burn or make art on for an extremely long time. Hope you have a good one and sorry for any typos... iam in the middle of working lol 😆
The air tight pallet looks cool. I can really feel your joy and how you light up going through your purchase. I can't wait to see the things you paint. Very entertaining video, I couldn't stop smiling 😀
Yessss, her smile is contagious!!!
You are so cute! You are getting great views the past month so whatever you are doing keep at it! Stay in touch It’s good to grow along side of some other small art channels. I subscribed. Thank you so much for reaching out.
Arches watercolor paper, psyched to see you use it! I have that mini -portable gouache palette, and my cover flies off every time I open it…dangerous!! ;-) Great haul!
I've only just started watching this and already I'm LOVING it! You have a new subscriber. x
My favorite is the pallet for your gouache! Enjoy using all of your haul!
Let’s goo
I love your art haul! I am so glad I am not the only one that has the 'when I'm good enough' supplies.
spoke to my mum and she was like ..No you can't buy that many"...I felt that😂 I wish I had the budget for art supplies right now,but I need money for christmas presents😪
Perhaps as an artist you could create your art work as Christmas gifts. Wishing you peace and blessings this Christmas.
First of all I love your enthusiasm it is refreshing. Second of all if I had choose a gift I would get 4 particular colors of Windsor and Newton Cotman Watercolors - Lemon Yellow, Alizarin Crimson, Intense Blue (Phalo Blue), and Chinese White (I like making pastels sometimes) in the 21ml size.
P.S ‘Good Enough’ art is fake because there is no such thing as ‘Good Enough’ to our brains our art will never be ‘Good Enough’ for the fancy art supply.
the BEST windsor cotman tubes. i bought a small set myself consisting of these colors and i love them. it's a very versatile palette
Hello!
I’m so glad to have found you on TH-cam.
I’m in agreement…. Sampling different papers makes sense. As with different types of painting products. I like trying the sets if possible before making an investment, too.
You are a delightful and thank you so much for sharing the reasons behind the art purchase’s.
Warm regards,
Martina
I have 4 -- 36 well and 6 --24 well stay wet palettes they’re on amazon for 13-17$
@@SketchesnScrubs at 13$ wasn’t too hard a section lol
I just found your channel now as apparently some of your videos have been linked to recommendations of mine :) and I got hooked! New subscriber here. Love your enthusiasm and your personality! I can totally relate to “having a problem” I have a big pile of sketchbooks, some started, others not… I also suffer from “when I’m good enough” syndrome, but I’m slowly finding ways to get over that. In terms of paper, what helped me to break the cycle was buying lose sheets and cut them in small pieces, it’s less pressure than the block and less expensive too. Ah, and if I I don’t like the painting I use the other side! My favourite supplies from your haul were the stay wet palette (I have one too) and the ceramic palette :)
The Gouache compact palette for sure is my favourite and I understand your excitement 🥰cheers from Australia- Amany
I am so happy to find your esteemed channel 🙏😍
I am your new friend ❤️
Friend always 💝
What is the echr paper like ? I’m interested in trying it. Also I have a lovely palette that I got from Jackson’s art supply it’s a 19 well and it’s a big rectangle one with huge mixing areas. It was £30 ish but well worth it
The Etchr sketchbooks are great!! They are my favourite sketchbooks.
I have the same problem!!!! It's never too much paper!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favourite paper is the Bockingford paper and the one's from Hahnemühle...I did the same thing with the paper,I just bought more😂😂
I have started experimenting with colored pencils and I'm eyeing Prismacolors.
I think my favorite item from your haul would be the Holbein gouache. I've just been DYING to get a set since I saw Minnie Small recommend them in her favorites video! I've been meaning to get into gouache, the medium just looks so lovely.
I completely relate to having "when I'm good enough" supplies, but I sometimes find I avoid my supplies too much for this reason. I think it's important to find a balance and remember there's no such thing as "wasting" supplies so long as you're actively practicing.
So... I loved all the items you purchased. Why? Because it brought you so much joy! I love that for you. Thanks for sharing. I love your channel because there aren't nearly enough black women artist on youtube to suit me. 🙃😉
I'm tempted by the guoache stay wet travel palette....love the out takes.....lol
Sweet, funny and beautiful. Enjoyed this so much 😂😊❤
I have the small airtight palette
@@SketchesnScrubs I don't use it a at all, just lays empty in my painting desk 😀. I use watercolors mostly, it's my goal to learn watercolor first and I limit my use of gouache, although is so fun. But once you put the paints in the palette there is no sense to just leave it there to dry out.
Thanks for the video. I just ordered the palette from AliExpress. Do you find that the wells leak or into other wells?
Would love to know how many you bought. A girl needs her stuff come on 😊🇨🇦👍🥳
omg, this video is so cute! This is exactly how I imagine myself opening my future haul :D
I felt the exact same way when I received the Meeden palette. So funny. Great video
You should use the paper. The sizing in the paper can go bad if it sits around too long. Then it doesn’t hold the water right or you have to resize it yourself
So glad I found your channel, I really enjoyed your video
Lol i love to buy cotton paper and then only use the wood pulp paper cotton just seams to expensive and Precious and I am just a 15 year old that try’s to save money then spend it on art supplies
I was laughing throughout, this is such a great haul, loved seeing your joy with the supplies, I relate ha!
Loving the mini gouache palette the most.
What a great haul! The Etchr sketchbooks are lovely. I have 2 of them and love them. Is the Meeden ceramic palette from Jackson's too? I actually like the size of it. I've got a larger one which is from Jackson's and it's so heavy! That smaller one is a nice size. Enjoy using your new goodies :)
@@SketchesnScrubs Hi! Thanks very much for your reply :) I still haven't decorated my Etchr sketchbook covers but I must get around to doing it. Not only do they get quite dirty but the material does tend to pick up bits of lint and stuff. It all just sticks to it. A coat of gesso and then some gouache or acrylic might do it but I'm just concerned the cover would feel tacky or sticky. Perhaps just a coat of gesso might do the trick? No idea really as I only ever paint with watercolours and haven't a clue if it'd work. Do you think you'll decorate your covers? If you do I'd really be interested to see what you do:)
MVP….love the needed ceramic palette ❤
Such a fun and entertaining video! Well done! ☺️ You’ve picked up so many good things. Arches is my fave, I used to be so precious about it, but when I started using it I actually still had so much left that I stopped worrying about running out. I’ve also heard that sizing on watercolor paper can go bad after a few years so it’s best not to keep the paper forever unused 😅
oOoOO I didn't know about that! Thanks Snow!
I came here because CreatingCuteArt recommended your channel and I am so happy to have discovered you! Can’t wait to binge watch you, I am hooked!
@@SketchesnScrubs I couldn’t be happier to have found you! It sounds silly but in my head I imagine we are friends! Just like CreatingCuteArt your excitement and joy is so contagious, I instantly feel so happy and inspired
The ceramic palette...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I got a ceramic mixing dish from a charity shop for a couple of quid, I think it's technically a dip plate, but it works perfectly for paint mixing and didn't have the price tag of a dedicated art palette!
@@SketchesnScrubs watercolour mostly :)
Tuyệt vời ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
The *regret* I feel not getting anything in the Black Friday sale 😭😭😭😭
@@SketchesnScrubs ahh I’ve bought from them before 😭 I’ve got my eye on the schmincke super granulation paints… tundra, haze and forest are the ones I’ll be nabbing as soon as they’re all in stock 🤤 and a watercolour palette to store them in ❤️
I love your enthusiasm, humor, and wit!! I love how your choices for products for watercolors & gouache are specifically different for your needs. I have been wanting to get a gouache palette like you & Sarah Burns have for a while too. I am still figuring out what papers & sketchbooks I like best for my watercolors as well including my favorite size. As for paying 500 pounds which is roughly $400 dollars here, ohh I can’t do that yet. I freak out when I spend $50 to 100 dollars a year for art supplies. 😁💕 I really enjoy seeing your hauls and the following videos of you using your supplies. It helps me decide on whether I want or really need to give it a try. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend!
@@SketchesnScrubs You’re welcome ☺️.
On amazon I got 50 sheets 8.5x11.75 inches 100_% cotton u would think because it’s less than 140 lb, that it wouldn’t hold gouache but it does I think it’s called wandering but let me know if you’re interested I’ll find the exact brand, I believe it’s made in india
@@SketchesnScrubs derings Handmade White Deckle Edge Blank Paper - A4 Size Package of 50 - Mixed Media Loose Leaf Paper for Watercolor, Writers, Invitations, Crafts - Thick 130 GSM - 8.25 x 11.7"
I love the Meeden palette
Love that teal color
I think airtight palette for gouache is essential. I'm still new to gouache paint but I don't seem to like it very much unlike watercolor? Maybe because I put them on a regular palette, so they dried up and cracked. Or maybe because I use such cheap gouache (I use miya himi but in tube, not the jelly one). Sadly they don't perform really well once they cracked😭💔 I haven't touched my gouache since then, I got traumatized lol
@@SketchesnScrubs I usually make some fanarts or self portrait with watercolor. I use Pentel cuz it's cheap but have good quality. I also use Joyko WC2001 for my assignments or landscape painting, because the Pentel one is pretty vibrant for landscape. I think both of them are student grade and not many artists use them tho (at least in TH-cam 😂)
Also, I'll make sure to see your other videos. I feel so inspired, thank you 💖
You do t need to justify buying art supplies and using good paper will make you’re art work much more enjoyable, keeping it on the shelf isn’t helping you , Stonehenge is a great quality affordable 100% cotton watercolor paper
@@SketchesnScrubs after all those comments I was convinced I was just being a know it all and being annoying I’m glas I wasn’t lol
I only have 4 tubes of guache from a subscription box and I can't figure out how to make them look good or if I should invest in more😅
The colour of your top looks very nice on you☺
I subscribed to "upcrate" and the guache is in the 24th box,there are several unboxing videos on youtube🙂
Great art haul 😍
Wow that's quite a haul. Am I jealous or what! Favourite items have got to the the watercolour blocks and the porcelain palette
Well I keep buying old watercolour sets and I dabble with painting but I’m a long way from an artist! I enjoy it though. Thank you for your videos!
Oh my goodness, I love your hair in this video. That silver color is just stunning. Hair aside, I'm as excited as you are about what you received in this box! I LOVE my Etchr sketchbooks - they are hands-down my absolute favorite. Ah, that porcelain palette is dreamy. 😍 I can't pick my favorite item, either. So many of them are going to be delicious!
Really nice seeing your art haul. Thanks for sharing. I hope you enjoy the Baohong. I love it 😊
I always love watching art hauls and it's truly a pleasure watching you! Keep inspiring artists!☺️💕
OMG I got the same lil’ palette! I got 2 and I don’t even have any gouache yet! Maybe in 2 or 3 years or something 😂😂😂 but it was such a good deal! And tbh I fell for the hype. 😂 the hype got me! And I was struggling with it the 1st time too 😅
@@SketchesnScrubs pffffft I’m almost embarrassed to say I bought multiple times last week! I was able to stop myself from making a Mossery purchase. But I still got tooo much hyped up stuff. I got the Jackson’s x Schmincke Supergranulation “Haze,” I 💗 Schmincke and here in the NL Schmincke is cheap compared to Jackson’s (even when Jackson’s has a Schmincke sale). And there are sales on the paints over here, at least 1x per year, which make the Schmincke paints even cheaper 🙈 So yh I definitely fell for the super granulation hype. I got some of the other super granulation colors when they were on sale at Van Beek, a Dutch art (web)store in October. Also the airtight palettes, I am taking them to Suriname 🇸🇷 when I visit my parents (hopefully, if Rona let’s me). The wells are big, so I was thinking of filling them with my most used colors, so I don’t have to worry about running out during my trip.
You know how almost everybody, and their momma, on YT uses the Silver Brush Black Velvet? Jackson’s has a nice travel brush set of those in a large etui (pouch?). It was not on sale, but I told myself the exchange rate is really in my favor now (it had dropped like 2 or 3 euros 🙃 🤣
And, then, I bought at Boesner, which is a German online store, they have the lil’ Raphael travel brush set with the nice bamboo rol mat currently on sale for just €20 (and change).
And at Gerstaecker, which is a German franchise art store chain (they also have it in the uk, I think under a slightly different name, but I forget what), I bought the lil Etchr 19 wells palette. Totally fell for the hype, but it’s cute though. That sale ends in January so I might get 1 more.
OMG I got a couple of art books by artists, that I saw ppl doing flip troughs about (so I got some of the 3dtotal Art of … books). Like 4 or 5 I’m still waiting to receive them.
I was on Heikala’s webstore and got 2 prints, some of the sets of colored inks, 2 brushes for the inks, and … and this is the only purchase I regret: a CARDBOARD pencil case 🤡 I didn’t realize it was cardboard, it looked like faux leather in her website. And it came without any protection sleeve or anything, so I received it slightly damaged. So, now I’m debating on whether I should complain about it. I probably will, because really I’m disappointed.
Oh I don’t know if you already know this, or do this … but type in “sample” in the search box at Jackson’s 😉 You’re welcome ☺️
I ordered the air tight palette from Aliexpress! I don't mind the wait time because I am still learning (beginner) but now seeing yours...I am happy with the purchase.
Thanks for sharing your Art haul.
New Subscriber 🙋🏿♀️
You are absolutely adorable! I'm so glad I've found your channel ☺️ Liked and subbed!
Creating Cute Art is such a sweetheart, she's definitely convinced me to pick up a few of those little pallets as well, lol! Have you ever tried the SUI gouache? I found it on Amazon and love it. That and Holbein Acryla gouache are my favorite.
Oh and art supplies are the new Pokemon, gotta collect 'em ALL!!!!
So relatable when it comes to more expensive art supplies and actually being scared to use them. 🤣 At home, I have so many things I wanna use but also put away for when I am "better" at art. I am quite interested in the airtight container that you got, I have seen them before and think they would be really helpful for me as I would love to start experimenting with gouache but I dislike having to use it from the tubes as I feel I'm wasting paint.
Also, I really like that you add in the "bloopers" at the end, to me, it makes you more "real" and relatable, not too polished if that makes sense? I make it a rule to watch two videos of a channel before deciding to follow or not, and you made me laugh and enjoy myself, it felt relatable and relaxing enough to sketch along while enjoying your content. So I decided on describing, thank you for sharing your wonderful content!
The paper was my favorite thing, and then your bloopers..lol. Glad you included those. You are a joy to watch!
Such a great haul video, I really enjoyed it from the beginning to the very end! Laughed throughout 🤣 My favourite is probably the etchr sketchbooks - now I'm itching to buy more!!
I have that pallete! It is wonderful and just the right size! I just put the Baowong paper block in my cart! Can't wait to try it. Great Haul.
I like the first item the airtight stay wet pallet with the black collapsible water cup. This is the first time that I have seen this item. Looking forward to seeing the art that you create in 2022.
Love your video - I can relate as I have a "problem" too! I just ordered the same Meeden palette you showed. You are so entertaining & funny.
Cobalt turquoise light is a great mixing colour, try with purples and magenta for moody greys
I started with coloured pencils, then moved onto acrylics, then gouache, watercolour and oil pastels. I've never got on well with soft chalk pastels too much dust for me. The gouache was a middle step before getting into watercolour and I haven't shown my gouache supplies enough love lately. I love to experiment with different media paper. Another great paper is Hahnemuhle, you can terminate Jackson's and they have their own UK website. Another great online websit is Rosemary and Co for brushes. One other paint you should give a go is buff titanium, it can mute colours and be very useful. Didn't mean to ramble on so much just enjoyed sharing information with you.
Sorry for the typo errors. Should read get the Hahnemuhle paper at Jacksons, and different paper and different art media.
Love all the products you mention, especially the cute palette!! The editing is so cute and fun! I enjoy watching it from beginning to the end! the shop list is very useful too! so good!
This Baohong paper is great, I used it a lot, haven't tried rough but I do use cp and hp. Wow watching this makes me wish it's daytime so that I could paint 😀
Goodness!!! You are sooo like me!!!! You buy more paper so that you can use the earlier lot!!! That's me watching my video! 😄
@@SketchesnScrubs lol!! At least 2 of us!! ....I am trying my hand at photo realism these days. Mainly into watercolours and recently started loving pan pastels and coloured pencils. Just to add to the paper obsession....I bought arches hot pressed some 3 years ago and still need to open it out of its plastic! It's sooooo damn expensive here in India!!! Phew! I stick to Strathmore and Fabriano most of the time....but since covid, Strathmore is also touching the sky now in terms of pricing
@@SketchesnScrubs Hi! Happy New Year! May 2022 be excellent for you!! And Thanks for the reply! I too very recently saw a video about that....wasn't aware till very recently that the paper sizing changes overtime ...:(
I might try Baohong soon too.....have now been trying some papers made in india. Shall update you if I like any of those. They might be more close effective.
I meant cost effective. Not close effective :)
As an art TH-camr who goes through sketchbooks like crazy, I buy my watercolour paper in rolls and make sketchbooks. But I do understand wanting to experiment with other sketchbooks and paper
@@SketchesnScrubs I buy the Fluid 100, cotton watercolor paper in the roll just because it is cheaper than arches or Fabriano Artistico which is about $200.USD or more when my currency exchange rate that's $400.BZD. I live in the country of Belize by the way and like your self, I'm an art TH-camr and I am Nurse. Fluid 100 is about $125 USD. But Ideally I buy paper in pads, loose sheets or rolls, and make sketchbooks. I use whatever paper I want to try. I prefer sketchbooks because I like keeping my art work together. I also buy paper in my country. The paper that is sold here in Belize are kids to student grade so you Imagine the limitations on those. Thank you for responding and stay bless
@@MadebyDawn23 where do you by the Fluid rolls from please?
@@terinagray9447 i got mines from Amazon USA
Loved your haul, if I could get any art supplies it would definitely be gouache because I’m curious to try it ❤️
@@SketchesnScrubs I’m just venturing into the acrylic pouring world and I dabble with watercolour however my greatest love is graphite pencil
@@SketchesnScrubs you’re far too kind, my graphite when I get around to it is portraiture. Oh and did I mention I’m a bead weaver too, that is my ultimate passion and yes the pouring is extra messy but so exciting when those cells start popping lol
@@SketchesnScrubs thanks, I saw your landscape watercolour , now that’s talent. Keep doing you Sis ❤️
From one art supply addict to another - I feel your pain! I am actually running out of storage space, and I am still at the stage of being afraid to use any of it!! Honestly, what is it about having pretty art supplies that is sooo addictive! I too saw Creating Cute Art’s haul video and have struggled to find that stay wet palette (I’m in Scotland) - Jackson’s scares me as it’s not a website to visit if you have a problem! Loved this haul though and look forward to seeing you use some of the things. 🎨🖌🖌🥰🏴
@@SketchesnScrubs I love Maggie’s channel as she is just filled with such joy about creating art! I use watercolour mainly, but do own gouache - surprise, surprise, and acrylic - surprise… well, you get the gist! I swear my cupboard debacle is completely true? And yes, I am looking for an AAA (art supplies anonymous) group to join, know any? 🥰🎨👩🎨🖌
Yeah! I love hauls! I was very good and did not buy anything from Jackson’s this black Friday (primarily because I spent too much money on art supplies else where - but they were all small business artists purchases). I felt like I was hanging out with a girlfriend, here drinking my coffee, and you were sharing your things.
LOL! You’re like a little kid with the gouache pallet/water cup.
Makeup artist -LMAO!
Spray bottles are absolutely necessary.
Please use your 100% cotton paper. I am going to start asking you whether you are using your cotton paper from now on. Sarah Burns did a video comparison of different cotton papers, as a patter of fact. You should check it out.
Etchr has 3 levels of paper sketchbooks - all are cotton. I think the best level is actually Fabriano Aquarelle which is absolutely wonderful.
I am addicted to watercolor pallets. I’ve recently been spending way too much money on hand made artist pallets. I just bought one from an artist in Seattle, Washington - Pottery by Elena. She was having a Black Friday special and I bought Christmas presents.
Thanks for sharing!
Sorry - the 100% Cotton comparison was by Emma Lefebvre
So in addition to the pallet I bought, I also got one of her pie plates (my husband loves to cook and bake) and this cute ceramic fruit basket I thought would look lovely on a cheese and fruit board for entertaining.
With regards to my cards, I have finished 54 and 4 more are on my painting board. I make 4 at a time, using 26x36 cm paper, taped into four. Cut down into 4, each card fits into an A7 sized envelope perfectly. I am using Arches CP because it requires 2 washes, sometimes 3 but I try to avoid the third because that’s a lot of water, even for Arches. I use the pad which is more economical than the block, and just tape the sheet onto a foam board. I’ve been experimenting with my different brushes and am learning tons how each type of bristle and brand and size holds water. BTW, my inspiration is Harriet de Winton’s Starry Night Christmas card video she did a month ago. I will post a picture on IG after I send them out and tag you so you don’t miss it. LOL!
Arches is my favourite. The feeling of preciousness is normal thing for me, I dislike the small tubes, usually buy several blocks of paper and I never wait to completely run out.
@@SketchesnScrubs yeah, when I finally found a good webshop I got 3 pads and a block of Arches. Pads are affordable and I use wide 3M masking tape to tape the page on all 4 sides so it's like a block.
@@SketchesnScrubs it was tiring, Christmas shopping, assembling new dining table and chairs, cleaning, cooking, painting with my dughter, luckily I didn't have to work a lot today.
Hi from Manchester I am a 15 year old artist and live watercolour and gouache and so happy I found your channel your amazing relatable fabulous and inspirational thank you so much for being you
