    I LOVE how you get into the details...as I do as well...and I can also relate to never being able to buy ...even food...so I as well get pretty excited now a days...to be priviledged to be able to make purchases...albeit a bit too many...but I totally understand how much you had wished you could have bought colours way back when...and could not...I am happy for you...and your excitement...is catchy!

      Aw, thank you!! Yes, I had days I couldn't afford food too. Luckily, those days were very long ago. That is why most of our giving is helping people buy groceries now. YES, me too!! I'm sure that is one reason I am beyond excited to try all the new products. I still have days I get teary eyed and can't believe how blessed we are now. I'm so glad you shared your journey with me, it is so nice to have someone who understands my excitement and doesn't take my hauls as bragging, etc. Thank you!! 💗💗💗

      I have been Praying for You physically and mentally. It's very easy to get depressed after Surgery. I know I had a very Important job before my Brain and Spinal Surgery. It didn't work. I have a genetic defect where my brain is descending I to my spine once that happens that's it your dead ! So I get it and also they wanted me to get another Brain Surgery. It was too invasive the odds weren't good. This is the Important part many many fa.ily and friends wanted ne to get it and I said No !! Remember all of what you do to yourself is your decision and yours to make. Yes everyday I'm in pain but I'm alive. Do things on your pace You know your body ! If I would have done that Surgery with the Best Surgeons in NY Hospital. Possibilities were death most likely paralyzed, no speech etc... All involving getting g my family to help me. OK I'm in pain everyday but I'm Alive I can speak ,walk and bathe myself. I quit physical therapy. I asked is this helping g me they said no but it's good for you to get some exercise. WTF it was killing me in pain. Remember even with a Husband and Kida Every choice is Yours Oh and by the way it's OK to be missed, depressed ,sad all of that is normal. Allow yourself. You will k own if your going dark lol. I'm Praying for You ! Do me a favor PrY for me I'm a disabled Widow that left a high paying job. I have an adult son who is Blind and Autistic that lives with me. When the Pademic first started a woman crashed into me totKedny car. Even though it's prestine low mileage they paid out nothing so I have no car. My son has no income coming in. And for the past two years they gave raised my rent each time by $300 . So I'm trying to create to get supplies. I need supplies to create to make money for some bills and food. We SDm. Sold our home when my thin husband got very sick from his Diabetes. He lost his leg we were able to save the other one. I took care of him 2 yes. It took me an hour to change his shirt lol . He had 10 mini Strokes. The 19th took him but he knew. The day before he told me he was going to die and I would be OK ! I really get pissed when people see a heavy person and sY well that why their Diabetes was so bad. Not true ! It's a Horrible Disease that effects so many people. And people should be more educated about it. They wanted to keep him in the Hospital towards the end. It was his descion He wanted to die at home. Of course he asked me and I said Yes I support your get it your decision. I Pray fir Solace for You. And when You find it Llow Yohrself to Enjoy it ! I wish we could just hang out and gave coffee or tea. Well I have taken up way too much time. But I can hear in your voice jts6 like your apologizing f I r your Surgery . And I'm like No No No ! You the your time. Heal try and Relax. We will All be here when your better ! Your a Wonderful Artist and always will be. Give Yohrself time. I know I will wait fir You ! Feel Better 🙃❤️

      Wow, thank you so much!! It is so sweet that God put me in your thoughts. I really try not to mention my health problems or struggles. I know many have it much worse. I try not to focus on my problems, as it gets me to start feeling sorry for myself. Chronic pain and health problems are mentally and physically exhausting. You just have to do the best you can, and hope tomorrow is a better day. I have a son on the spectrum, too. I always appreciate the prayers and I will be praying for you, as well! 💗

    A small rechargable vacuum cleaner is handy when using soft pastels. It's really not good stuff to inhale. I keep my surface as upright as possible so the dust drops down to the bottom and I just vacuum up from there. Edit… oh I spoke too soon. You have one.

    Fun haul and nice art. Regarding the new PR watercolors I’m not sure good paints can be improved upon! Somebody mentioned on a different YT art channel that these new PR half pans look like Schmincke half pans ie a little shallow compared to standard half pans. To my eyes they did look a little shallow. May be that’s what they mean by fifth generation, you get less paint! 🫣🤣

    • @TheGypsyChic1
      @TheGypsyChic1  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you, Shadow!! You might be right, they are pretty good value for those who don't want to wait for a really good sale. Haha, I think that is reaching...they aren't Schmincke. Lol. Or any other artist grade honestly. They are perfect for beginners etc. They might have been a bit more shallow than the previous sets. I can't actually remember as I filmed this awhile back. Hahaha!! I still prefer the fourth generation and I wish they put those in half pans. 💗

      @@TheGypsyChic1 you’re welcome! I have some Schmincke half pans and tubes and I don’t use them enough. I went thought phases of being mad for Sennelier watercolors, then Schmincke, then Roman Szmal, and now I’m collecting A. Gallo. Even then I’m coming to the point where I have so many of A. Gallo watercolors, that there will come a time where my A. Gallo purchases will be very low or non-existent. I think I’m looking forward to that! 🥳🎉🎊

      I've done the same thing! I've been reorganizing my studio since January and started a use it or loose it shelf. I went through phases, as well. I'm trying to find which colors for each brand are my favorite. I tend to use each brand a bit. Oh, that is amazing! I'm so happy for you!!! I would love to have more A Gallo watercolors (or all of them, lol). The dot card keeps me happy for now. I'm on a watercolor no buy until I sort through and organize all of my watercolors. I feel the same way...I kind of hate how much I love collecting and trying them all! Lol. I'm really trying to not start that process over now with soft pastels! Oh Lord, send help!! Do you think you will find a new art supply to collect, or do you hope to just finally love and be content with what you have?

    • @shadowguard3578
      @shadowguard3578 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ⁠​⁠I’m like you I want to try everything! My small collections of different art supplies make me happy because then I know I spent the least amount of money to satisfy my curiosity. I have a small collection of Sennelier soft pastels, small collection of Pan Pastels, and 12 tin set of Faber Castell Pitt pastels, and the Sennelier starter pack of oil pastels. I’m glad I didn’t buy any more because the soft pastels only get used on my watercolors, and I haven’t opened the Sennelier oil pastel set. Derwent are coming I out with a 150 set of chromaflow pencils. I have a small set of 12. I’m glad I tried the small set. They are very nice and creamy but the thin barrel doesn’t suit me.
      I think I will always look at art supplies but I won’t be buying or looking as much when I have plenty to enjoy. Currently I don’t want to try oil painting, acrylic paints, or gouache, thank goodness! 😅

    • @TheGypsyChic1
      @TheGypsyChic1  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for sharing! I wondered if maybe TH-cam was the reason I wanted to try everything. Haha, why can't there be a try it store for art supplies, like how you test out makeup? You will see in my videos soon, I fell hard for oil pastels and soft pastels! I have not tried Pan Pastels, please tell me if they are really worth it. I feel the same! I really don't want too many new art supplies. But, it's hard to turn product down when it's sent to me...I still find it so fun to try new things.
      I have more than plenty and want to use what I have, as well. Most things are finally past the "precious" stage. Lol I'm not interested in oil paints, or acrylics (other than my acrylic inks) but I do want to use my gouache more often. I didn't care for the Chromaflow pencils, so I'm safe from those too. It is so nice to finally just use and love what I have! The Sennelier lives are helping me use products I've had for awhile, and only used a bit. So that has been fun too!

    Opps I did it again! My justification this time is that Plaza Art (a less well known art store with an online presence) has a live virtual workshop with an admission fee in May on urban sketching using QoR watercolors. It comes with a demo kit. The kit comprises of the urban sketch watercolor set (6 half pans), and two full size tubes of watercolor, and some textured surfaces to paint on. The workshop will be posted on their YT channel later on to watch for free, but I don’t do well with watching long watercolor demos, after the event.

      @@TheGypsyChic1 you’re welcome. A few weeks ago the biggest online retailer in the world had QoR palettes on sale for a great price. I didn’t buy any, was tempted, but no, got to stick to my no buy. Lindsay the Frugal Crafter recently purchased them and showed them in a video, but I still couldn’t justify buying them. Then voila, Plaza Art sent the email on the QoR live demo (to be honest I don’t remember if Lindsay’s video or the email came out first, doesn’t matter). This was my opportunity to buy it. Last year Plaza Art had a live demo with Pan Pastels. Up until that point I didn’t own any Pan Pastels so it was a great chance to attend the online event and try out Pan Pastels. Other than the livestream demos and obtaining the Pan Pastels and now the QoR watercolors, I haven’t bought anything from Plaza Art. From what I’ve seen Blick, Jerry’s, Jackson’s, and the largest online retailer have a larger selection of products and generally better prices.
