Great video! You're right about not knowing how to use your supplies. I'm still struggling with Inktense and Neocolor II for backgrounds. I always get ugly lines. Even with watercolours, I can't get the amount of water right for bigger spaces. But I am getting better at the smaller spaces, so I'll figure it out somehow 😊
Hi Kristen, all that will come with more and experience, as time goes on and you keep coloring, your skills will improve, I promise you! Xoxox happy holiday season and happy coloring!
My advice with inktense and neo’s is to dab with your thumb as you go. Wait for it to complete dry and I mean completely, then do a second layer. Katrine from Always Coloring made a few videos before she passed away showing her technique with neo’s and backgrounds. Her channel is still up, I would go check it out so you can see what I’m talking about.
Your husband is definitely a keeper,what a great person to buy u so many goodies n now we can’t wait to c your amazing art work,Thankyou for sharing n Seasons Greetings ❤
Hi Dora, I have several oil pastel videos on my channel. I hope you check them out! I need to make a playlist soon as soon as I do, I’ll send you the link, but if you look around on my channel, I have a lot of videos on oil pastels.
Love your favorites! My number one this year is my Languo gel pens thanks to your recommendation! There is also a pack of white which I ordered also.. This is my favorite white to cover black lines! Thank You Maia! Merry Christmas!🎄♥
Hi Lina! Thank you so much! So glad u liked my recommendations and the video! Yes I recently got the pack of whites and golds and i am amazed at how well they work , im hoping they last a long time
Maia! My Amazon cart was filled to the brim before your video. Now it's overflowing!!! But I like knowing your opinion. That really helps narrow it down when you need all the things! Thanks and have a Merry Christmas!!! ❤
Love everything! I so look forward to see all these little clips. I’m trying to embrace your WIP mentality. Do you make notes on products or colors you use on unfinished pages? How do you decide on your coloring medium? And I know you’ve mentioned your color combinations are more intuitive, but I would be SO thrilled if you could share any tips/thoughts/advice on color choice/combination. Happy New Year!
Hi Colleen, did you happen to see my video titled how I choose colors? I think you’ll see that I discuss some of my favorite color combinations there. I hope you check it out and like it. I don’t usually keep notes on what I use on pages unless I stopped in the middle of a particular color combination, so sometimes I do but usually I just finished an item and put the page away then when I come back to it, I start fresh and I used many different mediums so I don’t mind just picking up with another medium. But I should really make another video about that. I think that’s a good idea. You just inspired me! So glad you like the videos happy coloring to you!
Lol ! Im sure you will love them but go for the 72 set , its on sale 44$ , ! My regret is not getting the 72 set earlier but at the time it was more expensive i think . Anyway everything in due time ! How are the gelli prints coming along ?
Great tips Maia. I have been eyeballing those Kingart water-based markers for a while, but hesitated. I'll have to give them a try now. I agree on the "disliking something early on", but since I already invested in the product I kind of force myself to use them, playtest more, and I often find the best paper for them or ways I didnt think I'd use the product.
Hi Jody! Sounds like youve had the same experiences , glad that resonated with you, honestly experience is the best teacher! Happy coloring and happy holidays
Awesome favorites! I’ve purchased most things because of your recommendation. In 2025 I’m going to use my products & practice more. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Hello Maia! I am wanting to purchase those Prima watercolors to start playing a little with watercolor. I have some Paul Reubens and a 100 set of Grabie watercolors. I also need some of the dark colored pencils like you showed right up on my desk to grab when I need to shade. I think that's a great tip to have things handy on your desktop. Thanks for sharing.🥰
Hi Lynette ! Wow Ive never tried Paul Rubens watercolors but actually they are sending me some to try out so im excited to try them out. The Prima watercolors are amazing, id start with the pastel set or the vintage set since those are unique colors you may not already have
Thanks Mia, I have often seen these Staedler fineliners in the shops but was not sure about them as they are sold as for journaling or note taking so it was good to see they are a favourite supply for you. I will now buy them and try them out. I love all my other Staedler products so I am sure I will like these too. I am also going to collect some dark pencils open stock too, thanks for that tip also. I struggle to get anything remotely dark enough in my pencil sets. Great video as always they are a treasure trove of good information👍❤️⭐️
Hey Deb, thank you so much for that wonderful comment wow that means a lot to me. I’m so happy that my videos are helpful in someway actually I do have a video about how to use fine liners but it hasn’t come out yet so I think it’ll come out in January. Hope you have a wonderful Holiday season and happy coloring.
@ Thanks Mia for letting me know about the using fine liners video I will look forward to watching it went it comes out. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family too.
Great video. I've asked for the languo gel pens for Christmas based on your video about them...looking forward to trying to them - your opinion is always so honest and useful 💗💜💗
I have them all and still working on mastering them. I love your presentation. I always learn something. Yours is the first channel I look for every day. Thank you for all the time you put into the channel. Happy Holidays ❤
Happy Holidays Maia to you and family!!!!!!!!🎄❤️ Those are my Favorite oil pastels.i use them a lot in my Art. I have both gravatint and ink tense, haven’t tried yet. I have a few of your supplies. The one’s I don’t have I will look into especially the watercolors. Thanks for sharing.😎
@@neecywatson8250 hi Neecy !!! Oh those are your favorites as well ? Wow that’s great to hear ! Xoxox have a wonderful holiday weekend! The watercolors are great! Id start with some sets that have the more unique colors that may not already have in your collection
so good!!! Loved all the tips you gave! I agree....I am just now starting to figure out pencils!!! I get why Prismas are so popular!! OMG!! I have been struugling because I have had to learn! I watched videos and how people colored and held the pencils. It has taken awhile but I am getting there. Just know how much you helped Maia!!! I love this hobby but almost gave up. Now I just want to keep practicing and trying stuff out. Thank you as usual!!!💗🎄☃🎅
Beth, thank you so much for always making my day you’re the absolute best! Don’t give up keep practicing and watching videos and you will get better and better and anyway the most important thing is to enjoy the process. Thank you so much for all your kind words and I hope you have a wonderful happy new year and I’ll see you in the next video. XOXO.
Love your videos Maia! Always excited when I see a new one pop up! So many good favorites! I’d love to know more about the darks you chose, as well as which Luminance colors you’ve got, not just the darks. I’m looking at buying some open stock, and would love to have some suggestions. You know what type of video I’d also love to see? One about budget/ secondhand shopping for supplies and books- like reviewing the places you like to look the most, and some of the things you look for, some of the things you found secondhand or budget that surprised you, or would surprise people, or were super unique etc., You’ve always got such amazing finds from these places!
Hi sweetie! Once i get back home after the new year ill make a list of the luminance colors i like best from the ones i have, in terms of second hand books my main place is ebay ! That is the best, but you can also try second hand books dot com and i go to a local used book store near me called the open book, that’s about it really, id say ebay is the best though, i get many books for 4-6 dollars!
I enjoyed your favorites video. I'm wondering how the shuttle art automatic acrylic are compared to the artex. They look very similar to the Simtap I think construction wise. I have the golden metalic acrylic pens and the toolie art that are older. The paint really likes it stick and make those hard tips very hard to use and they glob paint out when you press down. I'm hoping to find some other choices
I don’t have the shuttle art acrylic markers but have you tried any acrylic markers that don’t need to pumped? That might be a good option for you depending on what kind of coverage you’re looking for
You didn't enable me this time because I have all or most of the products from your previous videos, and I adore you for it! LOL I hope you have the most wonderful holiday season. I look forward to your videos next year! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful videos :)
Love this compilation of supplies! I went & ordered Languo gel pens from Temu, lol! Question: do you have any issues storing your paint/gel pens vertically rather than horizontally? I'd like to switch to vertical storage but I'm afraid it will shorten the life of my pens.
Actually im about to switch to horizontal very shortly, my plan is to group them by color and hold the group together with a rubbing band , it’s probably best to store all art supplies horizontally but I don’t always do that for practical reasons
@@lauras4472 hi Laura so my fine liner video will be coming out in January! I hope you will check it out ! I don’t have a video for gelli rolls as of yet
Hi Laura! Yes! I apply it with a brush! I have a video on my channel titled how i fix pan pastels, and I also show how i apply it in several of my oil pastel videos
Hello Maia. Please do not be mad at me Your ARRTX acrylic marker set Is it the A set or the B set. You mentioned it had neons? I am a nuisance . Perhaps I should research to see the different sets. Hope you are having a wonderful festive time with your family.💕💕

No i haven't purchased any others yet. Still trying to figure out next options. Brush or bullet. Leaning towards brush. Do they get clogged up?
Brush never gets clogged up, they are a game changer! But they are less opaque
When you say you fix your oil pastels, do you put the glazing liquid on top?
Hi Laura! Yes! I apply it with a brush! I have a video on my channel titled how i fix pan pastels, and I also show how i apply it in several of my oil pastel videos
