Haha yes, maybe because people these days are interested in products being delivered to them the next day. With sites like Amazon it is so easy to buy something and have it in your hands tomorrow. To take the time and put work into something, though, is a completely different experience. I feel it is much more rewarding when you put hours into something you love and have the result pay off for all that hard work. It gives whatever you're making a personal touch as well. Thank you for your comment, it's an interesting topic to discuss!
amazon and streaming services def play a big part in the 'now' culture which is a shame because I agree, working on something and spending the time on it can be so rewarding. its a good feeling when you see the finished project and know that you made that and can be proud of your achievement. Having said that, its often the quick painting projects that I end up liking more than the ones that take me weeks to do lol
@@fuzzydragons That's true, there is a time for everything. It's good to have a balance- having quick projects to do or getting something shipped is a time saver (especially if you need whatever it is within a certain date), but it's also good to slow down once and a while and make something you truly love. I like both personally. Quick diys and projects are less pressure and fun, but I also like putting my time and attention to all the small details of something that will take me a bit longer to complete. It just depends on the project and your time ^^
Yes! They are a great starting place for anyone interested in gouache. They are highly pigmented and very opaque compared to other student grade gouache. They come in fairly large "jelly cups" as well, which means you are getting a lot of paint for your money's worth. Since they are so large the paints take a long time to dry out, but once they do you can spray some water in each cup and let it sit overnight. After you mix the water in, the paints will be reconstituted and back to the same consistency as you first purchased them. Color mixing is relatively easy with them too as they do not get muddy after mixing multiple pigments together. As for any negatives, they aren't archival and don't have any lightfast information. Overall they're a great set for wanting to learn the medium and you won't feel hesitant to experiment a lot (since you get so much paint in the set). I hope this was of some help to you and let me know if you do decide to purchase them!
Choosing Keeping uses large sheets of paper and cuts it down to size when wrapping each item. It is natural that there would be off cuts since each sheet of paper can't always be divided evenly in order to wrap the respected items. They reduce excess waste by combining the off cuts to create a larger sheet to wrap. I think in that regard it has it's own appeal ^^
Best haul video ever! It was like an art Christmas. All the individually wrapped items were delightful. And the items all looked to be of such great quality. Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment <3 Yes, I agree! It really did feel like Christmas morning opening this package. Choosing keeping never fails with their presentation and curation of items ^^
@@sarahlorito yeah, ive used alot of different supplies over the years (gouache and oil pastel were the most recent ones) and oil is one I really want to try, including block printing uwu
Thank you guys so much for 1k subs! It's a huge milestone for me considering I never thought my channel could grow so much this fast. I was unsure if I should have committed to RU-vid at the start, but I'm so glad I did. Though I am not used to having a camera on while I work, or recording my voice and such, I'm slowly getting more and more used to it and I found that I do quite enjoy making videos for you all. I'm super excited to put out more entertaining and informative content in the future. Thanks for sticking around my small channel and being so kind and supportive. I appreciate you all dearly <3
Gosh the packaging is absolutely gorgeous, it's unique and well done, ugh I wish I could buy something from them, it's just amazing and seem amazing quality!!!❤❤❤❤
Absolutely! The products they stock are amazing in quality and they take such care in packaging orders. I hope you can pick something up from them one day, or maybe as a gift for a special occasion ^^
