I'm sorry you're going through all this meanness. Don't apologize for who you are; not for your illness,not for the stuff you've already gone through with your channel! There are lots of us out here who do appreciate you, who understand how hard it is to have a chronic illness and do any art, much less run a TH-cam channel. Keep going, prove the nay-sayers wrong and keep being you!
Glad to know you're slowly getting through your artblock. Doing other crafty/artsy things like the jewelry and crochet is a great way to put your mind at ease and regroup. You seem to be living in such a beautiful area. I hope to be able to go back to the country within a year or two. Been living in the city for 15 years and as much as I like the proximity of everything, I miss the country a lot these days.
I tried both faber castelle and Windsor newton. I liked Windsor Newton better, they seemed to soften easier and show less lines also the colors they offered were more to my liking, they offered softer shades. Faber Castelle colors seemed real bright
Thank you so much for that info! It was very helpful! I will definitely have to try the winsor and newton! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment!
Hey ive made a cheap diy plain air set up using 2 foam boards cut to size. They are attached by clips the bottom board has my sketchbook and paper blocks on and the bottom board protudes out top of first board that has magnetic tape on to hold my palettes. I have a clip on water jar and attach a cloth for cleaning my brush. I have a foldable stool and a fold up board for sitting on hard surfaces. Also a pencil case with my extra things and a bottle of water and im sorted. It works well for me but i dont work in acrylics or oils but it might help your scetchbook set up.
Enjoyed the video. It's nice to see you creating again. Im interested in seeing more of your mixed media and how you incorporate colored pencils. I have never used oils so that was fun to watch. Have a great week. Have fun for yourself! 🙂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Susan! And tanks for watching! I'm going my best to try to take better care if myself! Your suggestion to do something just for fun for myself is spot on! Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
Isn't it so great getting art supplies!! Glad you are enjoying your art practice more these days. May it continue, and I can't wait to see your shop when it opens! See you soon in the next video.
Enjoyed the video. I love seeing the beautiful outdoors. I live in Colorado, am very lucky, so you'd think I'd be up in the mountains all the time. I'll only a 10 minute drive away. But with so many tourists here, the traffic is awful. But I need to quit worrying about that and get up there! 🙂🙂
You are such a good Artist. I understand not being in the mood to paint. I have not really done any art since 2020. We had a move in 2021 & all my things were boxed up till last Fall but it has taken me forever to try & organize my space. Hang in there you are doing GREAT!!!!
I've not seen the wet painting holders before that's a cool idea could your husband not make some frames with a small lip in them and use elastic to hold the paintings he can make any size you need then I might make myself some 😂 awesome video as always, love watching you paint ❤❤❤ glad you're feeling more creative and healing well take care
Great video, Amy! I do like the Faber-Castell. I haven't tried the Windsor-Newton, but I've heard good things about them. My hubby gifted me some Sailor Shikiori, and they are great. The fine nib side is great for detail, and they move really well when you add water, but they are only great for sketchbooks as they are, I believe, dye-based ink.
Hi Amy, again a really cool vid! I love the painting you showed at 9:27, it's beautiful already and I can't wait to see it after you go back in with highlights. Great job! Looks like you're creeping out of that yucky artist block. Awesome!😃
Hi Victoria! Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it and I am so glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Very pretty watercolor painting! I really like watercolor markers because they are lightfast. I think the Winsor Newton ones might be a tiny bit more pigmented than the other brand or it may just be how much paint I added on the paper. I need to play around with mine some more, too.
Glad to hear that things are looking up for you! How nice to get outside painting. I am another person who pretty much has to wear gloves when I do acrylics. For some reason as soon as I pull those paints out, its everywhere! Oh, I love those watercolor markers. I have a handful of them. As well as using them as a marker, you can also use them as watercolor. I scribble on my palette (which is often just a white sheet of paper in a page protector cause I mostly use them camping), then add water with either a paintbrush or small sprayer. Instant watercolor blob!
Amy I did the same thing with the markers - checking to avoid dupes but I got them anyway. Then I read a note on the order site that said manufacturer may make substitutions if particular colors are not available and that is how I got my duplicates. Bummer! I'm still getting used to playing with them and they do make me loosen up a lot. I got the Winsor Newton landscape set as well and I do like them maybe more because of the color choices in that set.
So maybe it wasn't me then! I swear I checked them! I'm defrintly going to have to try out the winsor amd newton ones! Thanks for the info and for watching my video!
The oils class sounds very affordable and exciting, I still haven’t opened my water based oils, I’d like to wait until your class, I’m sure from my research I can follow the safe principles with my supplies ❤
Nice work with those watercolour markers - I don't think any of the various types of markers are for me, but it's always great to see different mediums being used by someone who knows what they're doing. It's also good to hear that your starting to get back to 'the zone' again when doing your own work and seem to be getting past this latest bout of art block - long may it continue! Thanks for an interesting video - kind regards, Brian.
Tombow watercolor brush pens are my favorite. I like the vivid rich pigment straight out of the marker without water. They are not lightfast. Love your paintings. Have a great week. 😊
Everybody I know LOVES the tombows and I've never tries them. I know they aren't light fast but they might be fun for my sketchbook anyway! I might have to get a few to try out! Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a comment, Madelyn!
Most definitely get you some. You will love them. I just color with them. They are so much fun and relaxing. I even used some on canvas. The drawings in my sketcbook years ago look the same the day I made the drawing. I have so many of them.😊
Since I am just getting started I have a question I think you can use acrylic paints and they look very similar to oils if I have that right not sure. I was worried about gouache is it similar to oils or acrylic to use? I know you can rehydrate gouache but I am curious about how they turn out? The only thing I know about oil is from watching Bob Ross back in the day. If anyone could shed a light about this would be greatly appreciated thank you so much for all your help and advice ❤
These are my favorite types of art videos, I love watching people in their studio or a day in a life of an artist, so I dig this video. And how did you learn how to edit videos? It seems everybody but me knows how to edit videos LOL Your videos also have a type of CALM to them. Maybe it's just you.
I am so glad you enjoyed the video! And i appreciate the kind xpmment! It means a lot to me! I thought myself Adobe premier pro sort of, but then they came out with Adobe rush and it's much easier. I definitely recommend it for beginners! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
Hi Amy, I use Ecoline markers which youu can refill. I don't know how lightfast they are but they are juicy, have lots of colours and are cheaper than the ones you bought. Good to see you are feeling better.❤
Can you take two wooden panels and big rubber bands and create the wet canvas carrier? If you get the wooden panels from Hobby Lobby, the cost would be minimal. 🤔 I’ve always had to figure out work arounds because art supplies are ridiculously expensive. 9And people joke about starving artist 😏…. ) I find it a fun challenge. I’m so happy you are doing so much better! Love ya, Fran
You'd have to have some sort of frame in between to keep the wet paintings from touching... I don't like power tools so I probably couldn't do it myself. I've tried to figure out a work around but I haven't had much luck! Thansk for the kids words and for taking the time to watch and leave a comment!
The Faber-Castell watercolor markers work so much better on 100% watercolor paper. It's night and day difference, honestly. I used them in my Royal Talens Art Creation sketchbook, Bee Watercolor Paper and the Baohong Academy watercolor paper and they behaved the best with the Baohong. I haven't tried the W&N, but I do enjoy the Faber-Castell. I love the way the spread turned out in your sketchbook! Also, the oil painting that you weren't sure if you were done with has a lovely impressionist look to it!
The Faber pitt pens are archival and fabulous as well as Ecoline markers they are so juicy, checknon the lightfastness though, im not sure and the Winsor Newton watercolor markers are great too and highly pigmented… hope that helps! Nice sketchbook spread!
1 oz condiment cups with lids will probably fit better in your box….as long as you spritz a drop of water in and put lids on, your acrylics will not dry out… see Sandi Hester’s acrylic paint pot ideas. Just an idea….it works for me
I do use that for my acrylics! I stole that idea from her last year and I love it! But for plein air painting, I like to work with paints more like oil paints, which I why I like the golden open. They stya wet on the canvas up to 3 whole days! They are great! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
I love the Faber Castel markers. I have those and a huge set of their Pitt Pens. They are India Ink. I use Cobra Oils they are water soluble. I love them. Faber Castel all the way! I was not impressed with Windsor Newton.😊
I have the Albrecht Durer markers and I love them. I use them on 100% cotton, hot pressed or a smooth cold pressed watercolor paper, and I don't have any issues. No lines left behind either. I don't know why someone would say not to use watercolor paper. They are watercolor markers after all, and were designed to be used as such. Maybe try a different paper. ❤
Huh! I definitely have heard from several other artists they work better on non-watercolor paper but I will definitely do some experimenting! I do know the painters diary is made with 100% cotton super heavy watercolor paper but I will try it out on some Arches! Thanks for the info and for watching!
Blick sells Masterpiece Panel Porter bars to carry plein air paintings. The bars are sold in pairs, so you buy 2 pairs in the sizes you need. Cost ranges from $10 to $13 per pair, so a carrier costs less than $25. You can buy multiple sizes and then combine them in the variation that you need for a painting session rather than having to buy complete carriers for every size panel you might want to carry.
@@winterwoodsstudioI have 2 sizes - 16x20 and 11x14. For plein air I use egg tempera on claybord panels. I have not had any issues.

Hi Amy, I have never heard of watercolor markers not being use on watercolor paper...I mean they are watercolor markers.

P.S I also got the W &N watercolor markers which come in a wallet got them also through amazon end of the year a few years back and they are ok but not as good as Faber Castell. Try them out and see what you think. You should make a video on jewelry making on this channel. I have kit on Jewelry Making that I got but have not come around to use it. I would greatly appreciate it . Thanks. Maria
I definitely should try the Pitt markers! Thank ypu so much for thr tip! I keep meaning to try them and then I forget, although I do have the black one and use it all the time when I'm doing ink drawings.

I have a very good friend whose brother just passed away. He was a professional oil painter and spent many hours in his work studio. He used turpentine. It made him very very sick. He got Alzheimer’s and other medical conditions that eventually took his life. I’m sharing to help others be aware of the danger that can potentially happen. I personally would not use any harsh solvents if I were an oil painter. This man was in his late 60’s. Much too young to pass away so early.
Turpentine is awful! I totally agree! Nobody should be using it in this day amd age. There are much safer things to use know, and you can painting with oil paints without using thinner at all! There are several different methods and they are all great! Thanks for the safety reminder!
Im so glad you're talking about art block and burnout. It's so real. I'm a hobby artist. I work mostly with pencil crayons and I'm just starting with watercolour. Last year I ended up doing six commissions, pet portraits, and I haven't really done anything since. I've enjoyed art all my life, I started drawing when i could hold a pencil my mom says...anyway, doing art for someone else, to their specifications kind of ruined it for me...I love your paintings your're very talented! Glad you're getting your groove back! 😊
Since I am just getting started I have a question I think you can use acrylic paints and they look very similar to oils if I have that right not sure. I was worried about gouache is it similar to oils or acrylic to use? I know you can rehydrate gouache but I am curious about how they turn out?

@@winterwoodsstudioI have 2 sizes - 16x20 and 11x14. For plein air I use egg tempera on claybord panels. I have not had any issues. I do not use the ‘screws’ for the tops, but use some wire so that I can use the wire as a handle. As a result I am not having to manage the screw fasteners in the field, nor am I doing a lot of doing/undoing the screws so haven’t had any splitting issues from tightening too frequently or too much. I find the wood and corner connections similar to stretcher bars - not smooth wood, and corners can be a little tight initially but again, not unlike stretcher bars.

I have a very good friend whose brother just passed away. He was a professional oil painter and spent many hours in his work studio. He used turpentine. It made him very very sick. He got Alzheimer’s and other medical conditions that eventually took his life.
I’m sharing to help others be aware of the danger that can potentially happen. I personally would not use any harsh solvents if I were an oil painter. This man was in his late 60’s. Much too young to pass away so early.
Turpentine is awful! I totally agree! Nobody should be using it in this day amd age. There are much safer things to use know, and you can painting with oil paints without using thinner at all! There are several different methods and they are all great! Thanks for the safety reminder!

Im so glad you're talking about art block and burnout. It's so real. I'm a hobby artist. I work mostly with pencil crayons and I'm just starting with watercolour.

I've enjoyed art all my life, I started drawing when i could hold a pencil my mom says...anyway, doing art for someone else, to their specifications kind of ruined it for me...I love your paintings your're very talented! Glad you're getting your groove back! 😊
Since I am just getting started I have a question I think you can use acrylic paints and they look very similar to oils if I have that right not sure. I was worried about gouache is it similar to oils or acrylic to use? I know you can rehydrate gouache but I am curious about how they turn out? The only thing I know about oil is from watching Bob Ross back in the day. If anyone could shed a light about this would be greatly appreciated thank you so much for all your help and advice ❤
