Thank you so much!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! I was very excited to get those little palettes.

Thank you, and I’m glad you enjoyed that! And yes, I love that after all that torrential rain, we got such a beautiful double rainbow in our last night. Can’t get a rainbow without some rain 😌

Thank you so much! 😊

No offense, but you got all your “facts” wrong. They absolutely did not give me a list of things to say. They simply asked if I wanted to pick some things out and if I’d be willing to do a video or an IG post in return. That’s was it. And they don’t send me tons of free stuff. They sent me probably less than $50 worth of free stuff twice. That doesn’t do much for me. I only did this because it seemed fun to get some things that I was curious to try and I make videos anyway. They only sent me a few items with no plans to “keep” sending me stuff. I don’t need or want them to do that. I had zero incentive to say positive things about them because I wasn’t getting anything in return for doing so. I’m not a small channel that “reviews” stuff. I’m not at all a review channel. I make videos for fun. Be it sharing my art or sometimes sharing art supplies I either buy or get. So I don’t need them or any art company to send me anything. I can easily afford to buy whatever art supplies I want actually so I have no need to lie in order to get a few bucks worth of free stuff. Also you saw all my reactions as I was opening the package and swatching. So how could I be lying? My video on their acrylics wasn’t quite as favorable. And I asked for acrylics and gauche because I was sure I’d somewhat like them so I could do a video where I was happy with what I got. I didn’t ask for their watercolors. So no offense but you don’t really know what you’re talking about.

Thank you!! So sweet of you to always take the time to comment 💜

Ugh it’s too late for me too, since I already bought it 😅 I’ll have to figure out a good use for it anyway. And yes, looking forward to playing around with the watercolor stick! Will probably end up buying more down the road.

I've found that many people buy the DS sticks to cut and put in pans. They act exactly the same as pan paints and are cheaper. I "stick" 😂 with the Neocolor 2s for mark making. But the DS are versatile! Expensive as crayons- but used multi ways- are great!

I used to want to buy stickers with your art. this is so exciting! lol I'm going to check it out 🎉🎉🎉

@@texan76 thank you! I just opened it a few days ago and ordered a handful to try them out and see about the quality, so I’ll definitely update soon with how they are. If they’re good quality, I’m happy to take requests! I can upload a sketchbook page or a painting and make a sticker

@@ElaTell Yay!!! ty!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Oh good, I’m happy to hear that!! Have fun with it!

Thank you so much! That really means a lot since I e been thinking lately and realizing that’s the vibe I want to communicate in my work, and it’s very encouraging to hear that I’m already at least partially doing that

Thank you so much! I have basically less than zero confidence in my abstracts so that is super encouraging ❤️

Thank you so much! I’m considering doing the whole book with oil pastels just to see how far a box of them goes ☺️

Thank you! It’s definitely a fun way to do a spread. I like it when things are stretched out lol

Thank you so much! I’m glad the video was informative and inspiring! And I think they go well with watercolors, even if you just use them as little accents

Thank you! I’ve been using glassine or tracing or parchment paper but I did just purchase some fixative to try

@@ElaTell I hope the fixative works well for you. I cant use them cause of health issues. That's why I'm always on the look out for ways to fix the oil pastels. 😉

@@veystone2580 yes, that’s unfortunately the main downside of them and why I won’t be using them for works I sell, it’s just too much hassle. I’ll use them in my sketchbooks. And yeah, I’ll definitely use the fixative outdoors only. I can imagine it’ll be very… potent lol

Thank you!! And I’ll definitely add that to my list of videos to make, thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you so much! And I’m glad this video was informative. Thank you for watching and commenting!

merci d'avoir regardé et commenté ! 🤗

Oh good, I’m glad it was useful! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I am terrible with anything g I feel like I “should” do. So I don’t ever think of it as “practice” because that would immediately make me not feel like it. That’s why I mentioned in the video that I’m not big on drawing from reference because it feels like I’m actually practicing lol So I just draw what I feel like drawing or feels fun in that moment. Sometimes it’s these girl doddles or paintings, sometimes it’s loose watercolor florals where it’s quick and easy (I have tutorials for 2 different techniques for those as well). And I mostly paint when I’m watching TV in the evenings so I’m just sitting there anyway. And like I said, I’m used to doodling while doing other things, like sitting in class, so it feels pretty natural to do art while watching TV. Not sure if this helps? Just think of it as you’re only doing it for fun or relaxation or whatever, change how you look at drawing and the purpose it plays, and that might increase your motivation.

Oh good, I’m glad it was clear and easy! That was definitely my goal :) And have fun with it and Let me know how it goes! ☺️💜

Thank you so much, and thank you for watching and commenting!

I’m glad you found it helpful! Have fun and lmk how it goes!

Thank you 🤗

Thank you for watching 😊

I’m glad you did! Welcome to my channel ❤️

I’m a firm believer that you’re an artist as long as you do one thing - make art! So if you’re making art you’re definitely an artist. And yes, I totally agree about acrylics. They’re so easy to work with and behave themselves, unlike watercolors lol

Thank you! ☺️🤗

Thank you so much, you totally made my day! And I’m also very happy you discovered my channel 🤗

Thank you so much ☺️❤️

I am so slow with filling them too! Because I’m always working in multiple ones, and because I do canvas paintings too so then the sketchbooks don’t get used while I’m busy with either canvases or loose papers. And I’m glad you found them! They weren’t cheap unfortunately but I got them as a Christmas gift because they seemed like a fun tool to have.

I can do one but I can explain it here too because it’s super easy. I took an empty marker (you can purchase them) and then just poured golden high flow paint inside. That was literally it. I’m debating adding in some kind of flow agent to make them even more liquid but I haven’t decided yet.

Omg that is too funny… great minds really do think alike 😉 and yeah, would have definitely been better to pick something smaller than a whole scene but the cards didn’t really have that and I wanted to have something on screen for everyone to be able to see. If I do more of these in a video in the future, I might pick images from a book that’d be larger and simpler as well. Thank you for the suggestions!

Oh that’s good to know! I have gouache and neocolor so I really should give it a run and see how I like it ❤️

Yeah, those are good ideas! I’ll definitely make some changes next time I try the timed drawing exercises. You live and you learn lol

Aww thank you so much!

Thank you! And I’m happy you got some ideas. I love how they can do so much! Thanks for watching and commenting 🤗

I love them but they’re so expensive! Glad to hear they care about the customer and have great customer service. I might add 6 more to my palette when Jackson’s has another watercolor sale some day, we’ll see. I’d want to but I can get so much more of other brands for the same amount … :(

@@ElaTell Yes! I have never gotten used to handmade paint or papers, just so expensive! I love DaVnci Paints of California for just that reason. They make professional quality paints and they are reasonably priced too! I have even compared them with DanSmith and while they don’t have over 200 colors they have a wonderful selection and I have never found a color that I can not mix using DaVinci watercolors! I have used a lot of brands over the years and I am truly happy to have found them at last!

@@mjpete27 DaVinchi has been on my wish list for some time actually! I’ve been waiting for them to have another sale lol

Thank you! I did art in high school and then life was really busy and then I got sucked into scrapbooking which was a good creative outlet and also it was made of much quicker and smaller projects, so it was easier to fit into my life. And then companies sent me so much free stuff that it was really fun. And then finally I got tired of it, which opened the space for me to get back into art. I do like seeing how my work has improved over the years.

Wow, that’s a lot of great tips! I didn’t even know ow they’ve been around for so long! I love the masking tape idea. Hopefully others see your comment and get some good ideas from it so thank you for sharing. And thank you for watching and subscribing! So happy to have you join me on my channel ☺️❤️

I’m glad it was useful! The gouache seems like a really good deal. And Lindsey the frugal crafter mentioned on her channel that cheaper gouache seems to work well, whereas cheap watercolor isn’t always very good, and that definitely seems to be the case here.

Thank you so much! ☺️ I’m so glad you liked them and so happy to have you join me on my video. I do love them! I can’t believe they’d consider it a kids supply since they’re so great and a lot of them are lightfast so they can definitely be a professional supply. I wish they’d keep all the colors and add to the range. Would be great to have like 150 colors to choose from, like some colored pencil ranges. Anyways, thank you for watching and commenting 🥰

☺️❤️☺️

Thank you so much! ☺️

Yay! Thank you and happy to have you here! 🥰
