I've had such luck finding various items to use as paint palettes from Goodwill. Little porcelain egg cups, butter dishes and even a deviled egg tray for .99
We're definitely not getting as nice deals here in Sweden - almost everything on my wishlists and in my cart has either stayed the same price (maybe gone down 2-3% at most) or actually *increased* in price 🤦♀️😂 It's just as well for me, though, I'm on a really tight budget this summer as it is - silver linings!
Nothing really tempts me because I like to buy more professional products. Like professional paint and gouache, 100% cotton paper etc. I have bought and used one of the sketchbooks like you posted and it was very poor quality. The paper is cellulose and had a lot of challenges and the book came apart. I love a good deal but you have to be careful with products like some of these. The one thing I am going to check out is the ceramic palettes. I do need some! Thank you for the video. I just wish they would sell the professional products for a good deal! 😁 I will keep checking.
I have that first pencil case and I’m hoping to use it for my upcoming trip. It holds a decent amount of pens! I haven’t bought any art supplies so far but I found a couple of other items on sale from my Aussie wishlist so they should turn up tomorrow. 😂
Thanks Miranda! I have the Ohahu set, Prismacolor Pencils , and Paint by Sticker book in my cart now-also the watercolor cloth cover journals, and pencil case look good -but have them already. Thanks for all the tips!😊
I’m not really shopping for art supplies at the moment, but that doesn’t stop me from checking to see what’s on sale so this was interesting! The prices are quite different on Amazon Canada and several things aren’t on sale here. I do have the first pencil case you linked (I think it was the first) and I love it. I might pick up another because the first one is full and I’m okay with buying organization items to control my existing supplies. I just don’t want to add more brushes/paints/papers until I have used a HUGE amount of my inventory. I actually like DS gouache, but I think it’s probably because it’s so much better than Maimeri gouache (which I hate, even though I have several tubes); those are the only two brands of gouache my local store carries. I wish I could get W&N, Holbein or Schmincke locally. I’ve ordered them online but I only need to replace the odd colour here and there and it’s hard to place an order for a single tube or two due to crazy shipping prices 😢.
It's fun to see what's on sale. 🙂 Bummer about the prices in Canada, though, darn it. I really need to use all my gouache brands more often to see which is my favorite. That's one thing I'm hoping to get to during my no-buy experiment.
These are some good deals. I'm only splurging on the arrtx acrylic brushmarkers everyone on youtube seems to be using right now lol. Also 100% agree on the 150 set of prismacolors being too much, I have the big set and I never used them until I made a 36 set out of them following coloring bliss's guide.
What a fabulous list of scrummy art items!! I really, really want the big tin of Prismacolor pencils as I'd love to try them out and I know I'd want all the colours lol but one can dream!! On the U.K amazon the cheapest I've seen for the 150 tin is £199 so that's defiantly not going to happen in my life time! I hope your enjoying your Canada trip!! Been loving your insta posts! :D
Did I ever tell you about the time I subscribed and saved to the full 96 Nupastel set and then the next month another one showed up??? LOL Fortunately I was able to return it. The only thing that's tempting me is the giant sized Paul Rubens oil pastel set. The normal sized Hayias are on a REALLY good deal right now as well. I have the black and white giant sticks. In case anyone's wondering, they really are oil pastels and not oil paint sticks - they never dry despite what they say on the label. Also, Blick's free shipping is down to $39 right now and their prices on W&N watercolors are so much cheaper every day. Sometimes Amazon's "free" shipping isn't free! Hope you're having a ball on your trip!!!
I bought the stacking porcelain watercolor palette you listed above. I was watching some like it and these came up on a good Prime Day price so I grabbed them.
I have never seen your channel before, but you popped into my feed right now. Without watching your video, I ran straight over to Amazon and picked up a bunch of stuff! Thank you so much and I will watch some of your content!
i got a nice set of 24 Posca 3M markers, a yellow Meeden 33 well palette, a stay-wet palette, and a couple small watercolor tins for Prime Days. If anyone in the US looking, Shin Han 24 15ml gouache tube set B and also 12 15ml goauche tube set are also on Prime Deal and its a good one!
the porcelain mixing pallets would trigger me the most. usually see plastic mixing pallets but I only use the porcelain ones, but they aren't so common in the art supply shops I get my stuff from. but I don't order from amazon. I prefer small shops than big giants.
@MirandaWatsonArt about the same, I only order what I don't have yet or come short in. I don't like to hoard, but like a variety to change supplies here and there to keep it new and interesting
