    I think the cool thing about boxes like this is that they push you to create something you normally wouldn't. Break up your arting routine. Even if you don't enjoy the one box you might get an inspiration from it. i always enjoy watching your unboxings because you always manage to do something creative with the box even if the supplies are not your thing. I guess it's kinda like any exercise. You stretch just a little out of your comfort zone to make gains overall.

    Always a fun unboxing to watch. Your enthusiasm is contagious! I still have a Kaleidoscope.

    My grandparents had a kaleidoscope. It was made of a very thick cardboard, a bit larger around than an empty paper towel roll. I used to play with it for hours.

    That is a dark tea!! 😮 I love ecoline markers but i don't use them ever as markers direct from the pen. I like them on a palette and with cellulose based paper you can get such beautiful blends. I have the brush pens and i can't see myself buying any of these new ones, but interesting to see them in action. I like your diagram idea a lot. Well done!

      Lol, I like my tea with the tiniest splosh of milk only. Proper tea! 😂 I think if I was using these pens I’d stick with the brush versions too. So funny to hear someone say ‘I use markers, but never as markers’.
      Thanks for stopping by to comment! ☺️

    What an awesome painting. 🖌️🎨 It really brought back memories for me. I had a beautiful kaleidoscope when I was a kid. It was metal like bronze color and had beautiful designs. I actually miss it. I just turned 69 , so that was a long time ago. You made just a lovely 😍 picture.

    The book with Salts on it is from Salts Mill in Saltaire West Yorkshire - a brilliant place to visit with loads of art books, art supplies, art exhibitions etc The village is named after Titus Salt who purpose built a village around the mill for the millworkers. The mill was built in 1851 and the village followed. It’s also a UNESCO World Heritage site. Also Saltaire has quite a few micro-breweries!!! (says the teetotaller!)

      Great place to get in some urban sketching - though annoyingly whenever the Yorkshire USK have gone I've not made it. High up my list of places to visit.

    I wasn't too fussed about this box when I first opened it, but then I started playing with colour mixing and the range of shades and tones I am getting is really impressive - especially the greys I can get!
    I tried touching the tips together too, and, that was interesting. 😊
    I had a tin Kaleidoscope, and I can still remember the sound that little glass chips make when you turned the tube. 😊...
    I wonder if it's still in the loft? 🤔
    I love what you did with the prompt. 😊

    yeah, markers don't excite me either.... on the other hand the colours do blend and move beautifully together with water, so there's that!

    This will be my last box for a while. I have been a subscriber for over 3 years and felt i needed a break so asked to pause my subscription. I am not impressed with this box, so it has confirmed my decision. I will keep an eye on the unboxing over the next few months to see if it is worth re starting my subscription.
    Loving my pencil wrap and travel journal from thè stash shop 😊

    Hullo Gem, I stopped bye the shop and I saw some people had already gotten some good deals and so happy for you and the shop less to move and funds for your charity and equipment you may need in the new place! I have never been the most happy with markers, especially water markers. I figure if I am going to use a brush why not just get out a set of watercolors? I know markers are supposed to be travel ready, but really how had is it to take a travel watercolor palette? It is NOT! I do enjoy your videos and you remind me not to take myself so seriously either! Thanks for that! Please take care and have yourself a lovely day!

    I miss being able to just buy the scrawlboxes I like but I'm still holding off on taking up a subscription because although I love a lot of them, you get boxes like this and I already have these markers but in brush form, which i find much easier. Also I'm pretty wary of mixed media paper. Up until very recently me and my eldest daughter's point of view was "mixed media paper is a lie" lol. So many of them can only really cope with pencil and even then sketchbooks are often better. Then I got a scrawlrbox that had Canson XL textured mixed media paper and it has stood up to everything I've used on it. It surprised me because it's not a brand I've liked before (based on their watercolour paper) but its the only mixed media pad I've tried that coped with mixed media.
