I feel guilty sometimes for having so many coloring pencils but then I start thinking that I work for my money and I deserve to be happy and art makes me happy , I’m not hurting anyone or spending my money on drugs or liquor and even my husband who used to wonder why I buy different sets from time to time now surprises me sometimes with some when he sees them on sale in Amazon 😂
I completely agree. Your husband is a keeper, what a gem. You spend your money on the things that make you happy. I will never have enough pencils 😂 💖🤗
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 I have both the Luminance and the Lightfast sets, very expensive but well worth every penny....PS don't forget to get the full 100 sets of both, I haven't got the Prismacolor or Holbein full sets yet although I do have some of them open stock, mainly only the lightfast colours, I am an artist and intend to try and sell some of my work in the not too distant future, so lightfastness is something that I have to pay close attention to.
Don't feel guilty for having many pencils or other art supplies, at least you make videos about them and help people make more informed decisions about what to buy! And honestly, you deserve this for the money you work for, coloring is definitely not the most expensive hobby out there. The best thing about colored pencils is that they barely have an expiration date!
You really don’t need to justify what you spend on colouring 🥰🥰 some of us others have a lot more, me for instance, now I’m retired I have no guilt on what I get. I spent part of my life bringing up children always broke, sometimes couldn’t feed myself but always spent on my children. So now I can I do spend on myself.
You deserve every one of those pencils if that's what brings you joy. You certainly bring us, subscribers, much joy. I've given up sharpening my Prismacolor pencils & only use an Exacto knife & sandpaper to get a point. Thanks again for your channel.
Wow Pj, you really are going through all my video, thank you so much! The best sharpener I have found it the mental M+R hand sharpener. That sharpens the Prismas well. 🤗💖🎄
When your Prismacolor are stubs superglue them to the end of a longer pencil and use them all up! I do it all the time it’s so easy because there are no caps on the ends.
I can hear from the way you speak about your pencils, you are in love with your pencils, even the bad ones. Don't worry, mine are special and gorgeous to me as well. To me, pencils all have 'souls', and so do musical instruments. I always assumed that even the cheap pencils from the supermarket would be 'lightfast'. In fact, it was never a thing for me. How disappointed I was to find out that I had wasted my money on all the various supermarket sets. But I will find an artistic use for them. I have recently started buying decent pencils, I have a couple of Derwent 72 tin sets, some Derwent graphite tin sets, Derwent Graphitint, Staedtler 48 piece watercolours, Derwent Coloursoft Skintones (I am also expecting my Derwent Coloursoft 72 piece tin set to arrive tomorrow). I have quite a lot of cheap supermarket sets, both wax-based and watercolour based - I will donate them to my sister's grandchildren to colour in with. Perhaps they will be artistic in their adult life, who knows.
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 Yes it is my Sister in addiction. But I would just love to color with you. We could have a lot of giggles as we color. Love Terri Simmers.
I love neocolors 2, inktense and prismacolours. I work hard, don’t drink or smoke so these are my gifts to myself. I get so much happiness from them. Loved when you said the Bru…(?) pencils are rubbish; appreciate the straight talking 🙏
Oh WOW.. I've been watching colorists..YOU ARE AMAZING..BEAUTIFUL ART WORK.. I Will be watching following along and;Definitely SHARING.Thank YOU SO SO MUCH!! 🙏👍💗❣
You enjoy your pencils. If you buy them all or they are gifts, no one but the trolls would have anything to say. I am an artist and I love seeing everyone’s art supplies.
Hi Cathy, Fibro effects so much of my life especially tiredness and memory. It is lovely to have people who understand my struggles. Thank you so much for your support 🤗💕
You said you are colouring just a year now? Well done. You do beautiful work. I bought Prisms and for my polychromos I bought a small set and just order 5 or 6 every so often from Jackson's. I am doing intense the same way and even Holbeins because I love the set of pastel colours. If one cannot afford then just buy one by one. LOL don't have anyone to gift me anything. My fave watercolour media is Neo 2's. Love that Caran dache palette!
I just want to say the Derwent Inktense are not permanent, you can reactivate them when they are dry. They will not reactivate the second time or as much as watercolor pencils but they will move some. I’ve seen a lot of videos where they demonstrate this.
The Polycolours by Koh-i-Noor can be bought as assortments. I have their 36 set and love them; I find them soft and great for colouring. I also have their Mondeluz watercolour pencils which are great for the price, though I recently splashed out on a 36 set of Inktense and have already ordered an extra brown! It's so easy to get the art supply bug.
My mom just bought the shuttle art ones. I don't believe she'll be doing a lot of layering. She's in her 70s and has some vision issues, so for someone that is truly going to be doing very basic coloring they shoudl be ok. Thought I'd share if anyone is buying for a younger child or senior adult, or who is going to be doing basic sketching.
I think the idea with the portrait set is to blend your own skin tone using the colours in the set. I’ve been colouring for over 4 years and I love the brutfuner pencils.
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 it’s all about the layers. There a pretty good tutorial on here where someone shows you how to create skin tone with the derwent portrait and it can be transferred to any pencil set.
Hello Lucy Just watched this video for the second time. I just so enjoyed it. I wanted to let you know about a pencil that is very reasonably priced and has beautiful colors that look like velvet on the page. Schpirerr Farben. Now even though the colors are beautiful many of them are quite deep. Also there is a limit of browns and greys. No truly light blue. A set of 96, the largest is about 60 dollars in the United States. Not enough natural greens either. Colors are so gorgeous though. Lovely range of reds, blues, violets, yellows, oranges and lots of pinks. There are a lot of greens too either deep or bright with a small amount of the natural ones. Coloring I have done with these has an inner glow. I am on my 6th picture with them in Enchanted Forest and have almost run through the greens and browns. I really must buy another set and of course there is no open stock. Anyway sorry for the length of this message but I really wanted to let you know all about them.
Hi Lucy! Thank You very much for sharing, I have been a little confused about the shuttle Art vs the castle Art Pencils. So very happy I held off. I mostly use Arteza Expert Colored Pencils and the Black Widow Colored Pencils. 😊🌹
Hi Sherry, I love the Black Widows so much too. The Castle Arts are good but I dont have names on mine and that really bugs me, but they are nice to colour with 💖🤗
On Amazon they have pencil cases that you can put 2 or 3 whole pencil sets in and take them when you are on the go. Makes it so much more easyer to travel. Love TS.
Yes, I did'nt know I will have tons of it, at first.. I just want to have a set of graded pencils for portrait when I decided to go for colored portraits I can't stop buying different brands and also artist papers.
Wow 🤩 art collection enjoy it 🤩🙏🏽I been coloring for 2 months now my wonderful daughter bought me my first coloring books & prisma color pencils, and now I love ❤️ coloring it relaxes me , and every time I go to the store I buy coloring books 📚 and art supplies.
This video was so informative for me. I am very new to coloring…I have always loved Prismacolor pencils the most but see now the wide range of pencils. Some I’d like to try. I guess I’ve been coloring for maybe ten years or so. Anyway…really enjoyed the video
If you haven't gotten them already, the Black Widow Monarch set of 48 pancils do have dipped ends. I love those pencils, and I always have my swatch book open when I'm using the pencils, so not having the ends dipped doesn't bother me so much. One thing that I love about this company is that they listen to their customers, so that's why the later sets have the dipped ends. And why we have the Monarch set to fill in the colours.
I loved seeing your collection, some I have in common with you. I started my collection by buying the 120 set of Marco Renoir coloured pencils, I loved the colour range, but there were three or four pencils in the set that just break when you sharpen them. So disappointing! My favourite pencils are my Derwent pencils, my birthday treat was the whole set of Lightfast pencils, more beloved than the Polychromos because of the colour range. As for Prismas, I can't warm to them, I don't know why.
Hi Jude. I am in love with Derwent and I am so in love with the pastel pencils that I got the 72 Coloursoft pencils. The colour range in the set are outstanding and they colour beautifully!
I really like listening to you and your art is beautiful, I haven’t used pastels much I need to watch some videos of them, I watch the art guy too. I have a Staedtler crank handle sharpener I trust more than the electric and battery and TGAAL sharpener s. Arteza Expert pencils are dreadful to sharpen they break all the time and I stick the lead back in with superglue because I can’t bear to waste the lead. I listen to you even when I can’t colour along and am colouring something else. So good on you keep on video ing. You are good company and I find your voice relaxing.
Angela, I use the the M&R sharpener and since that I have had much less breakages of my leads. I am so pleased you enjoy watching my videos. I love sharing them with you. 🤗💖
Very much enjoyed your pencil collection. It's great to hear feed back and hints and tips for the different brands. Subbed 😍 Regarding how many pencils/ types you own is no one else's business, enjoy xx
Nice 👍 array of coloured pencils Lucy,I’m trying to cancel my order,through Amazon,for the Shuttle Art n I’ve put the Crayart in my cart so hopefullyt that will succeed,also last night I ordered the Colouring Heaven Christmas Special I saw your flip through of,I live in Australia n sometimes we can’t get the latest magazines so I went on line n ordered it from them just to make sure I’ve got it,so now like u I’m getting so excited at the prospect of a future delivery,Thankyou so much ❤️
Hi Lynn, the Creyarts are amazing pencils. They work really well with polys too. The magazine it the best one yet (in my opinion) I am so exacted to start the daily advent calendar videos. I may have to colour in another page while I wait for December🤣This magazine is too beautiful to be sitting around waiting for me to pick it up. 🤗💖
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 I think u can b forgiven for doing at least one page before December Lucy,I’m sure we can let u off on one. little indiscretion 😂😂😂❤️
I have polychromos and Derwent to but brutfner are equally as good and they blend well with others. The brutfner watercolour pencils are better than any other I e tried.
I contacted Arteza and they are working on their open stock of certain products. So the pencils will be open stock in the future 😀 I mix everything with the Neo2 of the 15set because I can not afford the big sets. And I can get every color. 😀 You have to be creative. I am still saving for the polychromos. I now have 59/120.
Awesome video lucy! Loved looking at all your pencils, I agree about the black widows but as someone has said the new ones have the colour of the pencil on the end woop woop! I need to get the full set of inktense I love them x
Girl, spend your money however you want to! 🤣 Do you or does anyone out there have any experience with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor (oil) pencils? Expensive so I just bought the set of 12 to check them out, and I think they are beautiful. So easy to blend and I wanted to call out the 2 reds in this small set, but the 2 greens and in fact the whole selection they've included is impressive. I don't have a need to buy more at this point but a good add I think. Anyone have more experience with them? Lucy, I'm blown away by the work you did with the NeoColors - I love them too. Thanks for sharing and have a restful, amazing time away.
PFW Yes. I’ve had the full set for a couple of years. I forget to use them but when I do use them, I love them. Do you know they are open stock on the Blick website?
It infuriates me that the Lyra polycolors used to be between $50 and $60 USD for the 72 set and have gone up to $100 or more simply due to their popularity with adult coloring hobbyists. You’re right, they are a great pencil, but I refuse to pay almost double what they used to be because the company is greedy. I’ve heard the Schpirerr Farben brand pencils are very much like the Lyra Polycolors so I ordered some to see how they do.
Linda M. Linda M. I’m enjoying the Schpirrer-Farbens that I recently ordered! They are really good pencils, I was pleasantly surprised. Now I’d like to get the larger set that has come out for the new colors. Lol.
Such a beautiful pencil collection I'm still trying to learn the inktense I'm glad I've only purchased the set of 24 I got them on a lightening deal. But I need to stop letting them intimidate me. I also love Derwent products! 😁
Hi, Pamela. Yes, i wonder if it is because the Inktense cant be re-activated that makes me nervous of them. Derwent are amazing products I love them all!
You are so real! I am watching people's color pencil collections and people talk about how much they "adore" a set and yet on the video they look brand new or only swatched. Yours look well loved, wonderfully used! Thank you!!
love pencil work . I feel a bit guilty about having to many sets but i do a lot of work both for pleasire and for charity I gave away my derwents to charity in favour of my castles 120 .how weird is that. but i found the derwent a bit grainy and scratchy . i have derwent pastel castles prisma s and faber castel and i mix and match my stuff where necessary. Nice to hear an English voice
Hi! I just come across your channel and I really enjoyed this podcast. Right now i have the prismacolor 150, and my son bought me the 132 set, the ARTEZA 120, All the black widow sets and i also am working on getting all the castle Art sets. I also have the carolya 1y Lobby. 20, CRAYz Art 50, sargeant 50 set, a STAEDTLER 24 Aand a small set from Hobby Lobby. The Crayolas down thru the hobby lobby oyou puse when nes are used for my puzzle/color by numbers. I save my good ones for my actual coloring pages. I have a question because i primarily like using colored pencils and i plan on eventually getting more sets. How do you decide which set to use when you start a new page? I dont have too many setes and I have a hard time. Right now the ARTEZAS ARE MY FAVORITES BUT I ALWAYS TRY TO BE FAIR, LOL I look forward to seeing more of your channel. Take care.
Hi Sherry, welcome to the gang! Good question.I use my Pablo pencils for pages that are smoother paper and mostly my Polys for skin as I like the way the colours look. Other than that I just choose what I feel like using really. I hope that helps 🤗💖
maybe it's because i don't blend colored pencils but i've always wanted black widows. I think i might have to ask for them for x-mas don't apologize for your love you do you!
No need to apologize. I am watching because i enjoy looking at other's supplies and why they like or don't enjoy them. I have zero talent. I color like i did in elementary but it does not stop me from enjoying talented and some not so talented colorist and their supplies.
Lucy, where did you get the Caran d’Ache neo-colonial case? I would love to get one for my collection? Please don’t apologise for your collection, you have worked hard for them.
Did you have the chance to try the Stabilos? I have them and love them! But since you also have the Derwent pastels, I would love to know how you compare both of them. 😊
I probably shouldn't say this because I don't wanna jinx myself lol but I have never had one of my Prismas break while sharpening them! I use a Dahle 133 sharpener
Such an amazing collection!! Im wondering, what pencils do you think are the most similar to polychromos? Im looking for the best alternative to them since i cant afford the big price tag, a pencil that can hold a point for fine details like hair and fur
Lovely supplies. Don't apologise for having them. You earn your money, it's no one's business what you spend it on, other than perhaps your husband :-) I really like the Koh-I-Noon pencils, the 72 set was my first set of adult pencils. But they can be a bit hard on some papers. I love the Pablo's, at the moment (until Christmas) I only have the 18 count which was gifted to me. I am doing a double page spread in Secret Garden just to prove how versatile those 18 colours can be when layered up to mix different colours and shades. That Neo II background with the flamingos is beautiful. Did you do that straight onto the page with the crayon and activate or use your pallet? I'm not getting the results I see in my head direct onto paper and I'm not sure why.
Thank you Sue. I did use the Neos straight on the page and then activated it. I then went over with a similar colour Prisma to smooth out any unwanted blemishes 🤗💖
I like your video. Test have shown that the Arteza is NOT lightfast at all. Arteza now sells them as open stock per 3 pencils on their USA and their UK website.
That is really helpful to know Md. I think if you know you dont have to buy a whole new set every time it makes using them less worrying you are going to run out of that favourite colour x x x
You should try Faber-Castell Goldfaber for student and hobbyists. A full 48 wax pencils student set from the number one pencil manufacturer on the planet. I have brand name inluding FC and these are the next thing to them. 48 is a brillant number of pencils to start off with as you get to know your pencils and how to create colours you don't have. I really like them and they encourage me to colour. Would recommend them to anyone just starting to colour. At the moment, although they have been available, I think they have a push on to introduce them to North America. The full set are selling in the $50 range in Canada, the price goes up and down by the day. I consider them the new Prismacolor.
"Oh" Lady your pictures in Kerby Rosanes, Worlds within Worlds Is awsome! My first page in that book was the sneakers in the back and I am still not finnished wit it. I just love his books. Please forgive my spelling tho. I have an illness That causes it. Love Terri.
Nice haul of pencils Lucy,I like the Cezanne coloured pencils they r budget friendly with lovely array of colours n blend nicely,I get mine from Amazon US 😊
Hi MamaWren I have added a link so you can look through the designs as there are so many beautiful cases available: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=200+slot+pencil+case&crid=AOUM8RDUZRK&sprefix=200+slot+penc%2Caps%2C192&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_13 💖🤗
Nice collection. The polar bear case that you hold your Polys in.....can you put 4 neos in each slot? The picture on Amazon shows 4 pencils in each. Thanx for sharing.
Hi Maria, it really is a matter of what you like to colour with. The Derwent Coloursoft are lovely but I personally love colouring with the Pablos, which are a little harder but produce such gorgeous results 💖🤗
Hi there, I’ve just found you and subscribed! Big waves from my cottage in Scotland. I have a similar video in the prep stages right now, just need to find time to film it! Thanks for sharing xxx💕
Hi there.. Im just found youu.. I love to see your collection 😍😍😍 btw have you try the japan colour pencil call irojiten before? Plse share the review thank you.. Regard from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Hi syira sabri , I have not tried those pencils, but I will gladly share a review of them if I ever get them. Welcome to my channel! It is lovely to have you here. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos.🤗💖
We should never be shamed or be worried of how much of something we might have. If its not hurting anyone or ourselves then go for it. I think having hobbies is very important for everyone to have. I know people will say why do you have so many pencils or geez I could never spend that much on those kind of supplies when really to be frank its not any of their business anyways lol lol I had a family member ask about the electric eraser and some books that I have cost because they were interested in coloring and the books were like $10 to $12 and the electric eraser was around $6 -$7 and they said wow I could never spend that kind of money on that. This was not the first time this had happened so I'd had enough because we all spend our money on what we want and so I got a little smart and said will I couldn't spend $120 to $150 several times a week eating out on a meal that last about 30mins(they have 5 kiddos)lol lol that shut them up and they've not said a word since. People just need to learn to stay in their own lane but it seems to be an impossible task anymore. Anyways don't mean to go on lol I absolutely love your collections and thanks so very much for sharing with us all. 💞💞💞💞
Derwent WC pencils have lightfast on their website with blue wool scale (6-8 = good to excellent) unfortunately, only 1/2 fall in that range. But I've heard great things so I'm going to buy then. Don't do that much commission with watercolor pencils anyway 😀
Arteza expert come in open stock now! To save cost their open stock come in packs of 3 instead of single pencils, but you can definitely get them now. C:
Honestly I think they JUST started offering it cause I've seen no one mention that they're open stock, and the most recent video I've seen is about 10 months old. So it's somewhere within about that time frame. But yeah, no problem.
Lucy I really don’t think you should apologise or explain why you have pencils 🥰🥰 if you can afford them get them, I do now, I never had any spare money when I was younger I gave my children all my money one way and another now they are older they don’t care. So now I’m older I spend as much as I can on me! Because if I die they will just waste it anyway. So hey enjoy yourself as much as you are able, and if you want to use all your Prismacolor superglue short ends to the end of your replacement pencil and use it all. I do.
Which would you recommend for a low budget the Greyart which are oil or the Castle Art? Is the Castle Art oil? And why. ? Thank you so much for your videos. Can’t wait to see your books. Enjoy your holiday you deserve it 💐Safe travels

I really must buy another set and of course there is no open stock. Anyway sorry for the length of this message but I really wanted to let you know all about them.
Hi Alicia, I have seen them used and they do look lovely. I will look into them when finances allow. 🤣 💖🤗
Hi Lucy! Thank You very much for sharing, I have been a little confused about the shuttle Art vs the castle Art Pencils. So very happy I held off. I mostly use Arteza Expert Colored Pencils and the Black Widow Colored Pencils. 😊🌹
Hi Sherry, I love the Black Widows so much too. The Castle Arts are good but I dont have names on mine and that really bugs me, but they are nice to colour with 💖🤗
Iv got that mauve case, one of many , don’t have the mouse one, so cute.
I love the mouse one too. I think it was the first one I bought. 🤗💖
On Amazon they have pencil cases that you can put 2 or 3 whole pencil sets in and take them when you are on the go. Makes it so much more easyer to travel. Love TS.
Terri, what a great idea. I will have to look for one .... or two 🤣🤗💖
Im starting to be like you... Getting a collection of colored pencils.
Its a very real addiction 😃💖
Yes, I did'nt know I will have tons of it, at first.. I just want to have a set of graded pencils for portrait when I decided to go for colored portraits I can't stop buying different brands and also artist papers.
Wow 🤩 art collection enjoy it 🤩🙏🏽I been coloring for 2 months now my wonderful daughter bought me my first coloring books & prisma color pencils, and now I love ❤️ coloring it relaxes me , and every time I go to the store I buy coloring books 📚 and art supplies.
Hi Hilda, you are not alone. I can stop buying supplies either. I am really pleased to her you are enjoying this wonderful hobby 💖
Love your review of the various brands. I am a newcomer to the colored pencil world and it was very helpful to me. I look forwrad to your next video.
Thank you Mary I am glad I was able to help 💖
This video was so informative for me. I am very new to coloring…I have always loved Prismacolor pencils the most but see now the wide range of pencils. Some I’d like to try. I guess I’ve been coloring for maybe ten years or so. Anyway…really enjoyed the video
Just found you! Loved this videos and now I’m a new subscriber 🥰. Happy Sunday from New Jersey in the US ❤️
Hi Nanette thank you for subscribing and welcome to my channel! I am pleased you enjoyed watching 🤗💖
If you haven't gotten them already, the Black Widow Monarch set of 48 pancils do have dipped ends. I love those pencils, and I always have my swatch book open when I'm using the pencils, so not having the ends dipped doesn't bother me so much. One thing that I love about this company is that they listen to their customers, so that's why the later sets have the dipped ends. And why we have the Monarch set to fill in the colours.
I have just bereaved the Monarchs and yes I agree fantastic range of colours. x
APencil extender for your short pencil is a great way to color mor comfortable and makes them last longer
Late to the game here, but I wanted to say thank you for this video. I just bought the Creyart pencils because of your review. 🙂
Hi Tena I love mine so I hope you enjoy them 🤗💖
I loved seeing your collection, some I have in common with you. I started my collection by buying the 120 set of Marco Renoir coloured pencils, I loved the colour range, but there were three or four pencils in the set that just break when you sharpen them. So disappointing! My favourite pencils are my Derwent pencils, my birthday treat was the whole set of Lightfast pencils, more beloved than the Polychromos because of the colour range. As for Prismas, I can't warm to them, I don't know why.
Hi Jude. I am in love with Derwent and I am so in love with the pastel pencils that I got the 72 Coloursoft pencils. The colour range in the set are outstanding and they colour beautifully!
Can you please do an update of your colouring pencils please xx
Hi Janet, I will put a video together. It will be a bit longer than the last one though 🤣 x x
I really like listening to you and your art is beautiful, I haven’t used pastels much I need to watch some videos of them, I watch the art guy too. I have a Staedtler crank handle sharpener I trust more than the electric and battery and TGAAL sharpener s. Arteza Expert pencils are dreadful to sharpen they break all the time and I stick the lead back in with superglue because I can’t bear to waste the lead. I listen to you even when I can’t colour along and am colouring something else. So good on you keep on video ing. You are good company and I find your voice relaxing.
Angela, I use the the M&R sharpener and since that I have had much less breakages of my leads. I am so pleased you enjoy watching my videos. I love sharing them with you. 🤗💖
Very much enjoyed your pencil collection. It's great to hear feed back and hints and tips for the different brands. Subbed 😍 Regarding how many pencils/ types you own is no one else's business, enjoy xx
Hi Coran, welcome to the gang. It is lovely to have you here! I have a few more sets since then whoops 🤣💖🤗
I bought a couple more pencil sets too 😁
Such a gorgeous collection - thanks so much for sharing, Lucy, I’ve put a fair few on my wishlist now 😄💖
Thank you, Amber, That's the trouble isn't it? There is always some new gorgeous art supply that draws us in! x
Lovely pencil collection Lucy thanks for sharing enjoy your holiday x
Thanks so much 😊
The One's You Like Colouring With The All Black Ones, You Could Colour Each Colour On A Small Piece Paper An Tape It Round The End. Hope That Helps. X
Nice 👍 array of coloured pencils Lucy,I’m trying to cancel my order,through Amazon,for the Shuttle Art n I’ve put the Crayart in my cart so hopefullyt that will succeed,also last night I ordered the Colouring Heaven Christmas Special I saw your flip through of,I live in Australia n sometimes we can’t get the latest magazines so I went on line n ordered it from them just to make sure I’ve got it,so now like u I’m getting so excited at the prospect of a future delivery,Thankyou so much ❤️
Hi Lynn, the Creyarts are amazing pencils. They work really well with polys too. The magazine it the best one yet (in my opinion) I am so exacted to start the daily advent calendar videos. I may have to colour in another page while I wait for December🤣This magazine is too beautiful to be sitting around waiting for me to pick it up. 🤗💖
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 I think u can b forgiven for doing at least one page before December Lucy,I’m sure we can let u off on one. little indiscretion 😂😂😂❤️
I have polychromos and Derwent to but brutfner are equally as good and they blend well with others. The brutfner watercolour pencils are better than any other I e tried.
I think my favourite right now are Derwent. I have just got the Coloursoft and love them!
Odd the brutfuner watercolor I tried were an utter disaster.
I contacted Arteza and they are working on their open stock of certain products. So the pencils will be open stock in the future 😀
I mix everything with the Neo2 of the 15set because I can not afford the big sets. And I can get every color. 😀 You have to be creative. I am still saving for the polychromos. I now have 59/120.
That is great news! I love my Neos too 💖
Awesome video lucy! Loved looking at all your pencils, I agree about the black widows but as someone has said the new ones have the colour of the pencil on the end woop woop! I need to get the full set of inktense I love them x
thank you kirsty i can't wait for the new widows either x
Girl, spend your money however you want to! 🤣 Do you or does anyone out there have any experience with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor (oil) pencils? Expensive so I just bought the set of 12 to check them out, and I think they are beautiful. So easy to blend and I wanted to call out the 2 reds in this small set, but the 2 greens and in fact the whole selection they've included is impressive. I don't have a need to buy more at this point but a good add I think. Anyone have more experience with them? Lucy, I'm blown away by the work you did with the NeoColors - I love them too.
Thanks for sharing and have a restful, amazing time away.
Hi PFW, i dont have any experience of the Lyra Rembrandt pencils, but they sound really nice. Thank you for your kind words of support x
PFW Yes. I’ve had the full set for a couple of years. I forget to use them but when I do use them, I love them. Do you know they are open stock on the Blick website?
It infuriates me that the Lyra polycolors used to be between $50 and $60 USD for the 72 set and have gone up to $100 or more simply due to their popularity with adult coloring hobbyists. You’re right, they are a great pencil, but I refuse to pay almost double what they used to be because the company is greedy. I’ve heard the Schpirerr Farben brand pencils are very much like the Lyra Polycolors so I ordered some to see how they do.
Linda M. Linda M. I’m enjoying the Schpirrer-Farbens that I recently ordered! They are really good pencils, I was pleasantly surprised. Now I’d like to get the larger set that has come out for the new colors. Lol.
Such a beautiful pencil collection I'm still trying to learn the inktense I'm glad I've only purchased the set of 24 I got them on a lightening deal. But I need to stop letting them intimidate me. I also love Derwent products! 😁
Hi, Pamela. Yes, i wonder if it is because the Inktense cant be re-activated that makes me nervous of them. Derwent are amazing products I love them all!
You are so real! I am watching people's color pencil collections and people talk about how much they "adore" a set and yet on the video they look brand new or only swatched. Yours look well loved, wonderfully used! Thank you!!
love pencil work . I feel a bit guilty about having to many sets but i do a lot of work both for pleasire and for charity I gave away my derwents to charity in favour of my castles 120 .how weird is that. but i found the derwent a bit grainy and scratchy . i have derwent pastel castles prisma s and faber castel and i mix and match my stuff where necessary. Nice to hear an English voice
Hi Vicki dont feel guilty. If they bring you pleasure and happiness dont worry. How lovely of you to do work for charities x x
Hi! I just come across your channel and I really enjoyed this podcast. Right now i have the prismacolor 150, and my son bought me the 132 set, the ARTEZA 120, All the black widow sets and i also am working on getting all the castle Art sets. I also have the carolya 1y Lobby. 20, CRAYz Art 50, sargeant 50 set, a STAEDTLER 24 Aand a small set from Hobby Lobby. The Crayolas down thru the hobby lobby oyou puse when nes are used for my puzzle/color by numbers. I save my good ones for my actual coloring pages.
I have a question because i primarily like using colored pencils and i plan on eventually getting more sets. How do you decide which set to use when you start a new page? I dont have too many setes and I have a hard time. Right now the ARTEZAS ARE MY FAVORITES BUT I ALWAYS TRY TO BE FAIR, LOL
I look forward to seeing more of your channel. Take care.
Hi Sherry, welcome to the gang! Good question.I use my Pablo pencils for pages that are smoother paper and mostly my Polys for skin as I like the way the colours look. Other than that I just choose what I feel like using really. I hope that helps 🤗💖
Great video xx thankyou xx 😊
You’re welcome 😊
maybe it's because i don't blend colored pencils but i've always wanted black widows. I think i might have to ask for them for x-mas don't apologize for your love you do you!
Hi Cali, the Black Widows are brilliant pencils and now the set has the new Monarch range there are some many colours to choose from 🤗💖
We struggle too with BW pencils I wish they dipped all the ends
I hope one day they will redo all the sets to have them 💖
No need to apologize. I am watching because i enjoy looking at other's supplies and why they like or don't enjoy them. I have zero talent. I color like i did in elementary but it does not stop me from enjoying talented and some not so talented colorist and their supplies.
Hi Gaynell, as long as you are enjoying what you do thats all that matters. 💖🤗
For the Black widow set hope that helps you
I have used them since this video and that method seems to really help. Thank you for watching 💖
Lucy, where did you get the Caran d’Ache neo-colonial case? I would love to get one for my collection? Please don’t apologise for your collection, you have worked hard for them.
Hi Dee here is the link for the pencil case you want: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07MD4HH2J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Love the case
💖
Did you have the chance to try the Stabilos? I have them and love them! But since you also have the Derwent pastels, I would love to know how you compare both of them. 😊
Hi Vey, no I haven't tried them yet. I am at my budget limit this month already this month! I will have a look though at some point. 🤗💖
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 I get u! Im waiting for my husband's next paycheck to buy some pencils. Poor man! 😆
I probably shouldn't say this because I don't wanna jinx myself lol but I have never had one of my Prismas break while sharpening them! I use a Dahle 133 sharpener
Lucy your pages are beautiful. Gosh you are talented. Do you work in the evenings🌺🌺🌺
Thank you Robyn. Yes I mostly colour in the evenings and at the weekend as I work full time. 🤗💖💕
Such an amazing collection!! Im wondering, what pencils do you think are the most similar to polychromos? Im looking for the best alternative to them since i cant afford the big price tag, a pencil that can hold a point for fine details like hair and fur
From the collection I have, Aly, I would say the Creyart pencils are the closest, but off course this is just my opinion 🤗💖
The new Black Widow Monarch do have a dipped end.
Hi Angela, Thank you for letting me know. I have since got them and loooove them. 🤗💖
Lovely supplies. Don't apologise for having them. You earn your money, it's no one's business what you spend it on, other than perhaps your husband :-)
I really like the Koh-I-Noon pencils, the 72 set was my first set of adult pencils. But they can be a bit hard on some papers. I love the Pablo's, at the moment (until Christmas) I only have the 18 count which was gifted to me. I am doing a double page spread in Secret Garden just to prove how versatile those 18 colours can be when layered up to mix different colours and shades.
That Neo II background with the flamingos is beautiful. Did you do that straight onto the page with the crayon and activate or use your pallet? I'm not getting the results I see in my head direct onto paper and I'm not sure why.
Thank you Sue. I did use the Neos straight on the page and then activated it. I then went over with a similar colour Prisma to smooth out any unwanted blemishes 🤗💖
I like your video. Test have shown that the Arteza is NOT lightfast at all. Arteza now sells them as open stock per 3 pencils on their USA and their UK website.
That is really helpful to know Md. I think if you know you dont have to buy a whole new set every time it makes using them less worrying you are going to run out of that favourite colour x x x
You should try Faber-Castell Goldfaber for student and hobbyists. A full 48 wax pencils student set from the number one pencil manufacturer on the planet. I have brand name inluding FC and these are the next thing to them. 48 is a brillant number of pencils to start off with as you get to know your pencils and how to create colours you don't have. I really like them and they encourage me to colour. Would recommend them to anyone just starting to colour. At the moment, although they have been available, I think they have a push on to introduce them to North America. The full set are selling in the $50 range in Canada, the price goes up and down by the day. I consider them the new Prismacolor.
Boston what are you doing to me 🤣 you know I'm going to have to look at them now. Thank you though 💖
Thank you so much for the review.
You are very welcome Sherley x x x x
Creyart are now £29.99 now on Amazon
Hi John, thats a great price for theses pencils they are so lovely 🤗💖
I was wondering, what is the difference between the Derwent Inktense and the Derwent watercolor pencils?
Do you have their Albert Durer collection
No sadly not Valerie x
"Oh" Lady your pictures in Kerby Rosanes, Worlds within Worlds Is awsome! My first page in that book was the sneakers in the back and I am still not finnished wit it. I just love his books. Please forgive my spelling tho. I have an illness That causes it. Love Terri.
Hi Terri, your spelling is perfect never worry about that. I am terrible speller. I am also a huge Kerbi fan 🤗😘💖
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 I love Kerby as well. Johanna Basford too. and so many more.
Nice haul of pencils Lucy,I like the Cezanne coloured pencils they r budget friendly with lovely array of colours n blend nicely,I get mine from Amazon US 😊
Hi Lynn, I have never heard of them. I will have to look them up. What set sizes do they do? x
Where do you get the mouse organizer? Do you have a link? 😍😍😍
Hi MamaWren I have added a link so you can look through the designs as there are so many beautiful cases available: www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=200+slot+pencil+case&crid=AOUM8RDUZRK&sprefix=200+slot+penc%2Caps%2C192&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_13 💖🤗
Wonderful informative video. Thank you so much
You are so welcome!
I really needed a trigger warning for that spider 😂😂 I can't believe you didn't kill it! So brave haha
😂😂I was only clam because I was on camera. I would normally be running up the street screaming 😂💖🤗
What pencils would you say are most similar to Prismacolor?
I think I would have so say the Arteza as they are soft, Liz. 🤗💖
@@lucyjustaddscolour-adultco3135 thank you :-)
I have found that Inktense will reactivate when dry, PETA Hewitt says the same thing.
Oh wow! Is that if they have not been completely dissolved? 🤗💖
Nice collection. The polar bear case that you hold your Polys in.....can you put 4 neos in each slot? The picture on Amazon shows 4 pencils in each. Thanx for sharing.
Hi, Rain the pencil case holds 1 Neo in each pencil slot. I hope that helps x
My Absolute favorite pencils are Holbien Polychromos. Won't use Prismacolor ever again, they are premium priced and substandard quality.
I have a few more in my collection now and I still love my Polys 💖
I have the 60 Carbothello but don't know how to use them
Hi Jean, there are a few tutorials on my channel using pastel pencils if that would help. 🤗💖
Watch Jason Morgan on youtube. He gives lots of great info about pastel pencils x
You got stash 🤩 which one I should get.? Derwent or Pablos..newbie here 😅
Hi Maria, it really is a matter of what you like to colour with. The Derwent Coloursoft are lovely but I personally love colouring with the Pablos, which are a little harder but produce such gorgeous results 💖🤗
Hi Lucy, yr later got them both & everything else in Full sets. Def collecting more than coloring but it brings us joy right? 🤗
I must have missed it.. what are those ones that look like crayons ?? I have never seen any ones quite like that before ???
Do you mean the Neo color ii crayons? 💖
Hi there, I’ve just found you and subscribed! Big waves from my cottage in Scotland. I have a similar video in the prep stages right now, just need to find time to film it! Thanks for sharing xxx💕
Hi Susie, good luck with putting your video together. I look forward to seeing it! 💖🤗
Hi there.. Im just found youu.. I love to see your collection 😍😍😍 btw have you try the japan colour pencil call irojiten before? Plse share the review thank you.. Regard from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Hi syira sabri , I have not tried those pencils, but I will gladly share a review of them if I ever get them. Welcome to my channel! It is lovely to have you here. I hope you continue to enjoy my videos.🤗💖
What a great variety! Thanks for sharing! I cant wait to get the new Monarch black widow pencils. They are dipped..YAY!!
me either new supplies are always exciting x
We should never be shamed or be worried of how much of something we might have. If its not hurting anyone or ourselves then go for it. I think having hobbies is very important for everyone to have. I know people will say why do you have so many pencils or geez I could never spend that much on those kind of supplies when really to be frank its not any of their business anyways lol lol I had a family member ask about the electric eraser and some books that I have cost because they were interested in coloring and the books were like $10 to $12 and the electric eraser was around $6 -$7 and they said wow I could never spend that kind of money on that. This was not the first time this had happened so I'd had enough because we all spend our money on what we want and so I got a little smart and said will I couldn't spend $120 to $150 several times a week eating out on a meal that last about 30mins(they have 5 kiddos)lol lol that shut them up and they've not said a word since. People just need to learn to stay in their own lane but it seems to be an impossible task anymore. Anyways don't mean to go on lol I absolutely love your collections and thanks so very much for sharing with us all. 💞💞💞💞
🤣🤣Mary I love it that is brilliant good on you 🤗💖
Derwent WC pencils have lightfast on their website with blue wool scale (6-8 = good to excellent) unfortunately, only 1/2 fall in that range. But I've heard great things so I'm going to buy then. Don't do that much commission with watercolor pencils anyway 😀
That is great to hear thank you Becky. I certainly enjoy using them. I hope you do too 💖🤗
Lucy, I thought the Koh I Noor were wax based? I like them but they snap off like Prismacolors.
Arteza expert come in open stock now! To save cost their open stock come in packs of 3 instead of single pencils, but you can definitely get them now. C:
Oooh thank you for letting me know. It makes a big difference to how often I feel I can use them x x x x
Honestly I think they JUST started offering it cause I've seen no one mention that they're open stock, and the most recent video I've seen is about 10 months old. So it's somewhere within about that time frame. But yeah, no problem.
Price for me is about five or six bucks a pack, Canadian, so not bad for open stock prices.
Oooh, it's probably time for an update on this video because I think you may have acquired just one or two more sets since this video.
Lucy I really don’t think you should apologise or explain why you have pencils 🥰🥰 if you can afford them get them, I do now, I never had any spare money when I was younger I gave my children all my money one way and another now they are older they don’t care. So now I’m older I spend as much as I can on me! Because if I die they will just waste it anyway. So hey enjoy yourself as much as you are able, and if you want to use all your Prismacolor superglue short ends to the end of your replacement pencil and use it all. I do.
Thanks Angela im sorry to hear that but I hope you are enjoying all your supplies x x
Which would you recommend for a low budget the Greyart which are oil or the Castle Art? Is the Castle Art oil? And why. ? Thank you so much for your videos. Can’t wait to see your books. Enjoy your holiday you deserve it 💐Safe travels
the castle art are wax based. i would recommend both. they are both lovely to use. sorry for the late reply the internet is awful here.
Then you superglue Prismacolor Stubbs to a new pencil and use them all up! No waste. Love my Arteza,and Polychromos and Prismacolor and more
I agree. There are so many lovely pencils out there. 🤗💖
The poly color brown pencil set that you don’t know the name of is called “ The Brown Line”. I looked it up.
thanks louise it doesn't say on the tin x
If there was one thing that people dislike the most about colored pencils, what would it be?
Hi 83, I would have to say the pencil core being off center and not sharpening properly or breakages all the time. 💖🤗
It looks like the New Black Widows have dipped ends by their pictures. I am in US and were able to order them today.
Im so jealous, Debbie. I cant wait to get my hands on the new ones, especially if they have the dipped ends! Exciting times x
