Hello everyone and welcome to this massive art haul video! Settle down with a drink and a snack while I share over 100 items with you. I've been saving up lots of smaller art supplies orders over the past few months so that I could put them all together into one big haul! I'll show you the materials I bought and tell you why I chose them. Some of my favourite products are in here along with some new ones I haven't tried before. We have acrylic gouache paints, Wallace Seymour vintage watercolours, brushes, paint markers, paper, sketchbooks, coloured pencils, fancy brass pencil sharpeners, Derwent palettes, and a lot more! Thank you for joining me and I hope that you enjoy the video. Natasha xxx Thanks to @Notes in the Margin (aka Dominic) for helping me with the thumbnail for this video (he was the one who said I should put my face on it, so blame him, ha ha!).
Glacie, Yes! I agree! Natasha, I wasn't a big fan of blocks either, but for paintings, they can have a place. I recommend practising removing a couple of the sheets before painting, to give you some piece of mind.... and you know, you can remove every sheet, and use them loosely if that would make it easier for you 😊 Nell. Ooh! And I love big art hauls!!
I use a plastic letter opener that is very like a bone folder. I feel both have a gentle enough edge not to damage the paper and a thickness to gently prise the paper apart. Once started it is really easy to separate a sheet and remove it. I have often seen palette knives suggested but imo they are too thin and the edges too sharp.If I hadn’t already got this letter opener which has a bright parrot at one end I would definitely have chosen a bone folder.
I ❤️ big art hauls, I ❤ you and I always look forward to your videos. Thank you for sharing with us your art, art materials, thoughts, advice, time and the kindness of your heart. The world stops and gets better when you appear on my screen. Love and hugs from California.
I love big art hauls and yours especially. I also love my Wallace Seymour Turner colours from Choosing Keeping. In fact I have nearly used them up, and am so glad you shared another site for purchasing more. I am really looking forward to seeing you swatch the palette you put together.
THANK YOU Dominic for the BEAUTIFUL photograph of Natasha in the thumbnail!!! I think you’re beautiful on the inside and outside and I love watching and listening to your videos!! 🎥
Thank you for showing all your goodies ..I loved watching you talk about and show everything.The big block of black watercolour paper that’s gummed around the edges.If you look around the edges there should be a small section with no gum on it.That is so when you have finished your work all you have to do is slip one of those small palate knives in and gently go around the edges ,thus releasing the painting from the pad ..I loved that little travel palette at the end .It’s one of the cleverest and well designed ones I have ever seen so far ..
Really enjoyed this one, as always! I was delighted to see the Derwent tinted charcoal set - I recently bought one second hand to be able to slip in my pocket on longer dog walks so very much looking forward to your swatching and commentary on this!
Natasha, I truly do love big art hauls- specifically your large art hauls. In all honesty, I love all of your videos. ❤️. Over the past couple of years I have used your videos to help me choose new art materials & have been so happy with everything I buy based on your videos. THANK YOU for sharing!!!
Thank you for this wonderful video!!! It's MASSIVE!! I love making haul videos too, but I don't think I have one that's this massive. LOL. The palette looks GREAT!! Can't wait for the video of filling it!
Thank you! Here's a link to the video so that you can see which colours I decided to fill the palette with: th-cam.com/video/-1kz1RqgpWQ/w-d-xo.html :)
I love big Art hauls!!! My Vanilla Caramel coffee was extras tasty as I watched all your goodies!!! Might I suggest Arches ROUGH cold press wc paper for some of the beautiful paints you picked up? Ohhh you'll love it!!! 🫂 🤗 Laura
I adore big art hauls! Also small and medium sized ones :D I love nothing better than to drool over art materials and gloat over them after a purchase! I love the Jackson's own Studio Sketchbooks, it's great quality paper and takes watercolour washes really well, it can curl a bit but I put the pad under a pile of books after the paint has dried and it's fine. I'm a big fan of all of the Stonehenge pads, I got a bit obsessed with the tiny pads a while back and got the 15 pack, it was like a gateway drug to the bigger pads! So good to hear your voice again, looking forward to seeing you having fun with swatching! 🐶
I ❤ big art hauls! Interesting watercolours… looking forward to seeing you swatch those because who doesn’t need more watercolours.. oh, wait, I don’t! I ordered the brass pencil sharpeners and pointers for my daughter and I. Interested to see how the pointers work! Have a fantastic week.. love autumn!
I ❤ big art hauls. Your channel is one of my absolute favorites and always look forward to seeing what you have or what you’re painting. Lovely painting style.
OMG what a whopper. I love big art hauls. So excited to see the swatching of all of them and see your beautiful creations from them. Thank you so much Natasha pleasure to watch as always.:)
I love big art hauls - especially yours! As for the papers in blocks - I use Hahnemuhle watercolour paper (The Collection - cold pressed and 100% cotton - I think you'd love it) and I use palet knife to separate the paper from the block. At first I was so frustrated, but then I tried with a palet knife and ... Bingo!😊 A big thank you for the video, and enjoy the weekend! ❤
Yep, love big art hauls. I toured the Blue John caverns in 1991, just me and my hubby with the guide. Not for claustrophobics! Some of those passages were really narrow. Thanks for sharing all of your goodies, look forward to the swatching.
Thank you for taking the time for sharing your big art haul!! I always enjoy seeing your goodies and hearing the excitement in your voice. You can surely brighten my day, Natasha. You might find it interesting that you have slowly inspired me and I have begun to love a mutual palette!!😍. I’ve always liked an olive green, earthy gold, deep burgundy and navy and recently noticed those are the main colors I always choose for my home. I’m surrounded with moody colors… lol. For some reason I painted in more bright palette which is fine….. but the moody colors are “calling me “…lol You have definitely given me some items for my shopping list. Again, thank you for sharing. It truly WAS a huge (big) art haul!!! Nancy Rolfe
I'm so excited for Part2! VERY curious about the Jackson's studio sketchbooks, I haven't found ANY reviews yet. ....and my gosh that watercolour palette/container is just fabulous. It might be a worthy case for all your beloved Payne's Gray! I love big art hauls!
For colors that we say we don’t like that much or are not drawn to….whatever, they can easily become colors that we love, or at least like a lot. I think it must be the psychology of being drawn to something you rejected and then it can become like something new and fascinating. This has happened to me with ORANGE. I think it began with quinacridone gold, that I’ve had for a while and as most of you know, is a vivid golden orange and one of my faves. I then found out about Daniel Smith Aussie Red Gold that is much like Quinacridone Gold, but I think even brighter and more vivid. I went out and got some right away. And then I got a Daniel Smith dot card and used a Transparent Pyrrol Orange and really liked it. And I had already had salmon and peachy pastel colors that I love . So I guess every major color group has its allure if we open our minds to them. ❤
Wow! So excited for the swatch video it’s going to b amazing! I absolutely love big art hauls lol great selection as always and that new pallete box looks beautiful can’t wait to see what u do with it❤
Aw, thanks Amber! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video. You are cordially invited to the Swatch Party, happening on a TH-cam channel near you soon! xx
I LOVE big art hauls!! And This one must be one of the absolute best ones EVER! 😍 It’s like christmas in September, super happy for you and can’t wait to see what you‘ll make with them, looking forward to the swatch party 😊
@@NatashaNewtonArt I forgot to say, both Saxe Blue Pencil as well as the Parchment Acrylic Marker I own as well and first thing that went through my head when I swatches them was „Natasha would love them!“. Isn‘t it sweet how we all seem to know your color preferences so well at this point? 😛
I love big art hauls! That brass palette box looks wonderful. You have so many lovely watercolours to choose from (and even more after this art haul!) so I’m really curious to see which ones will make it into the box. Decisions, decisions!
I REALLY do love Your large art hauls. I live vicariously through you. Lot's of product I would love to try but can't justify the purchases. Looking forward to the swatching!
Hello lovely Natasha! Lovely art haul as always. That greyish green(turner acryla gouache normal range) looks like wonderful colour to have! I understand your thoughts of brands using too much plastic! Thank you for speaking about this out loud! About cold press and hot press papers, I feel hot press papers are great with acryla gouache. :) The Frazer price palette box is gorgeos! wow! thanks for almost an hour of company, I enjoyed it a lot :) I LOVE BIG ART HAULS
Thank you, dear Kriksis! I noticed that you have a new video up and I'm saving it for tomorrow because I haven't had time to watch it today. I'm looking forward to it. :) The plastic issue is really beginning to bug me, especially when there's no need for it. I'm currently working on a new range of stationery products/illustrated goods, and we're trying to make sure they're as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. I will definitely try working on hot press paper with acrylic gouache, thank you! x
I love big art hauls💚thank you for keeping me company over afternoon tea☕️can’t wait to see what you think of the Wallace Seymour vintage watercolours, their sets on choosing keeping look so beautiful and unique
I LOVE BIG ART HAULS AND I CANNOT LIE!! 🥰🥰🥰 all the supplies look so promising, looking forward to seeing what the Derwent paint sets look like, and the Wallace & Seymour watercolours too. I saw Oto Kano swatching a blue from them and I’d never heard of them before that, so I’m nosy lol
Also, I use a palette knife to get paper off blocks, but I feel the same as you. Someone here suggested a bone folder used in book binding, they have soft edges so it’s a really good idea 👍
I love big art hauls and I love you and I love Dominic, of course, `cause he always has a point)) I also have my very old and reliable brass letter opener w/very smooth edges, and it had never let me down with glued paper blocks, I just go very slow. I can`t wait for the swatching video next))
I love big art hauls :) and I can’t wait for the swatching video!! those vintage watercolors look so nice, i’m always looking for more vintage colors to use in my paintings! your art hauls and swatching videos ~and~ painting videos have introduced me to so many tools that I couldn’t live without, thank you for always showing everything candidly and thoroughly (and calmly lol)
That black paper looks exciting! I will be getting some to try. My palette is so different to yours, but we seem to have gold in common - I recently started using gold acrylic ink 😁 I love it, but a little definitely goes a long way.
Hey Natasha, great video as usual! Most blocks that are gummed all around should have a corner where is it easy to slot in a thin palette knife. I love the ones that are gummed all around when I am doing a lot of wet on wet work. I love big art hauls!
I use a wooden knife or letter opener. Initially I used a sharp X-Acto knife and that really gave me more trouble towards cutting the paper to my surprise it was easier with a non-sharp object. As someone else mention, an open section where you see sheets and not gummed to start, the one I’m looking at is about a 2” slot. I’m just getting ready to swatch some Turner acrylic gouache, I’ll be looking forward to all the video’s from this art haul. Thanks!
Who doesn’t love a big art haul?! (Well , apparently one viewer, but there is always one grump🙄) I am interested to see those Wallace Seymour watercolors swatched out and I love that you bought that Frazier Price palette for yourself. I bought one when they reissued them and I love it. Thank you for sharing your bounty with us. Looking forward to future demo videos.
I have the round brass sharpener. It's amazing! Nice and heavy and good for all my pencils. Sharpening pencils is one of my favourite things to do 😂 specially the ones that smell lovely and woody. Looking forward to your swatching. Green makes me happy, all your greens look beautiful. 💚 And yes, I love big art hauls too 🥰
Hauls are like early Christmas presents, even if we buy the products ourselves! Etchr wrapped the sketchbook in plastic cause the cover is a canvas so we can paint on it and they need to prevent it from damages. Honestly, acrylic paint is much worse than a thin plastic film, acrylic is plastic too! I didn't know it was vegan friendly, thank you for that, I can buy one now!! :)
You're right, and this is something that really bothers me about working with acrylic based paints. I think about it a lot, but I also don't want to work in *just* watercolour. It's a tough one! I'm just trying to cut down on plastic wherever I can, and sometimes companies seem to use so much cellophane when it's unnecessary. It's a lovely watercolour sketchbook though - one of the best I've tried!
I think you're right. The plastic *does* help protect their products that can get water damaged on their long journeys from Australia. "Double-bagging" does seem excessive, though. And hi, Natasha if you read this! Lovely haul. I've started watching your videos again and am inspired to paint after a long dry spell. ☺
I was watching a video of a watercolor artist who uses the blocks of paper and she said there is a one inch gap on the side of the block of paper where it's not glued down. So you can slip a fingernail or bone folder in there to separate the paper from the block. I'm not sure if that is the case with the brand you are using, but it's worth looking for. I love big art hauls!
Don't buy the lead pointer, Arati! Apparently it's for mechanical pencils even though Jackson's says it's for "all types of lead and pencil". I've just tried it on my pencils and they don't fit! Other commenters warned me. Aaarrgh!
I love big art hauls and have already been to look at the Wallace Seymour paints, I love the idea of using locally sourced pigments- just need to decide which ones to try!
Hello Natasha. I love watching your videos, including your hauls, but as time goes on, I do wonder how you store all these art supplies and how you keep track of what you have. I know you’ve touched on pencil cases etc and shown your studio before, but your art materials are growing at a rate of knots😂 An update would be very interesting. Thank you for all you share!💐

Always so great to see you, Natasha ❤
@@MoniDmajor Ah, thank you! x
I use a bone folder for removing sheets from a paper block. It's nice and gentle
Great idea! I have one of those. I'll give it a try. :)
I use a round tipped palette knife but the bone folder sounds like a lovely idea.
Glacie, Yes! I agree!
Natasha, I wasn't a big fan of blocks either, but for paintings, they can have a place. I recommend practising removing a couple of the sheets before painting, to give you some piece of mind.... and you know, you can remove every sheet, and use them loosely if that would make it easier for you 😊 Nell.

Hey Natasha, great video as usual! Most blocks that are gummed all around should have a corner where is it easy to slot in a thin palette knife. I love the ones that are gummed all around when I am doing a lot of wet on wet work. I love big art hauls!
I use a wooden knife or letter opener. Initially I used a sharp X-Acto knife and that really gave me more trouble towards cutting the paper to my surprise it was easier with a non-sharp object. As someone else mention, an open section where you see sheets and not gummed to start, the one I’m looking at is about a 2” slot. I’m just getting ready to swatch some Turner acrylic gouache, I’ll be looking forward to all the video’s from this art haul. Thanks!
I ❤ big art hauls! Can't wait to hear how you get on with the Legion paper.
Thanks Jennifer! x
Who doesn’t love a big art haul?! (Well , apparently one viewer, but there is always one grump🙄) I am interested to see those Wallace Seymour watercolors swatched out and I love that you bought that Frazier Price palette for yourself. I bought one when they reissued them and I love it. Thank you for sharing your bounty with us. Looking forward to future demo videos.
I have the round brass sharpener. It's amazing! Nice and heavy and good for all my pencils. Sharpening pencils is one of my favourite things to do 😂 specially the ones that smell lovely and woody.
Looking forward to your swatching. Green makes me happy, all your greens look beautiful. 💚 And yes, I love big art hauls too 🥰
Hauls are like early Christmas presents, even if we buy the products ourselves!
Etchr wrapped the sketchbook in plastic cause the cover is a canvas so we can paint on it and they need to prevent it from damages. Honestly, acrylic paint is much worse than a thin plastic film, acrylic is plastic too!
I didn't know it was vegan friendly, thank you for that, I can buy one now!! :)
You're right, and this is something that really bothers me about working with acrylic based paints. I think about it a lot, but I also don't want to work in *just* watercolour. It's a tough one! I'm just trying to cut down on plastic wherever I can, and sometimes companies seem to use so much cellophane when it's unnecessary. It's a lovely watercolour sketchbook though - one of the best I've tried!
I think you're right. The plastic *does* help protect their products that can get water damaged on their long journeys from Australia. "Double-bagging" does seem excessive, though. And hi, Natasha if you read this! Lovely haul. I've started watching your videos again and am inspired to paint after a long dry spell. ☺
I love big art hauls 🥰 can’t wait to see these swatched out. It looks like you got an incredible variety 💚
I was watching a video of a watercolor artist who uses the blocks of paper and she said there is a one inch gap on the side of the block of paper where it's not glued down. So you can slip a fingernail or bone folder in there to separate the paper from the block. I'm not sure if that is the case with the brand you are using, but it's worth looking for. I love big art hauls!
I love big art hauls! Placing an order of my own including that point sharpener!
Don't buy the lead pointer, Arati! Apparently it's for mechanical pencils even though Jackson's says it's for "all types of lead and pencil". I've just tried it on my pencils and they don't fit! Other commenters warned me. Aaarrgh!
Looking forward to swatching video ❤
I LOVE big art hauls! And all your videos!
Thank you, Deena!
I LOVE BIG ART HAULS xxx
I love big hauls and what you picked.
I love big art hauls and have already been to look at the Wallace Seymour paints, I love the idea of using locally sourced pigments- just need to decide which ones to try!
Hello Natasha. I love watching your videos, including your hauls, but as time goes on, I do wonder how you store all these art supplies and how you keep track of what you have. I know you’ve touched on pencil cases etc and shown your studio before, but your art materials are growing at a rate of knots😂 An update would be very interesting. Thank you for all you share!💐
I love big art hauls. :)
I really love big art hauls. Now I have a few things on my list to try.
Can't wait to see the swatching of everything!
I love big art hauls!
That brass palette box at the end is a stunner.
