I absolutely love White Nights’ watercolors too and have been using them for over a decade. Don’t let anyone bully you for your art supply choices. ❤ your channel.
Thank you so much.🥰♥️ I love them too and have also had mine for ages. I've only recently started getting back into watercolour and had forgotten how much I love them😍. Thanks for your encouragement 😊🙏 xxx
Please don’t let anyone guilt for the art supplies you were using. I’ve been using White Nights watercolors for about 20 years and just love them, and the Durwent pastel pencils. ❤ your channel!
Thank you so much, thanks for your encouragement 😊♥️ I'm glad to find other artists who also love using white nights!!! I'll have to try out the pastel pencils, I've never tried these!!! Thanks for the suggestion and thanks for watching 🥰❤️ xx
Don't discard the watercolor you called the "unnatural green"! 😂 It's hard to know for sure since monitors aren't all the same but it looks like it could be viridian which is a great mixing color if you look it up online there's several bloggers that show great mixing colors together. I love the opera rose or a color like it with viridian it's just gorgeous and if you play around with more of pink or more of green it even does gorgeous grays. My favorite thing is playing with mixing to see what I can do with two or three colors. Of course the internet is lovely with helping since I'm fairly new. 😂 This was my first video and I'm looking forward to watching more, so glad you ended up in my recommendations list. New subscriber! 😊
Thanks so much for your advice. I'm just getting back into using these lovely watercolours so I definitely think I need to have a play around with how they all mix together 😁!! I will give these suggestions a go. Thank you 🙏♥️ xxx
Nice haul! I found a set in amazon of white nights that is a mix of pastels and metallics, six each. Where I live there is a full 12 metallics set (also quite much cheaper) but couldn't find that in Amazon. Good luck with hunting art supplies, waiting forward to see more swatches!
Thank you!!! Oooo these newer colours are all so beautiful. I've just purchased a few more including one of the gold metallics, really really looking forward to seeing what it's like, how exciting to find the whole set! Thanks for watching xx
Love seeing coloured pencil hauls! :) Derwent Lightfasts are my fave pencils, I can heartily recommend the 'Foliage' colour in that range as a beautiful natural Sap Green colour, it's my fave pencil in the range. Nice greens are also Racing Green (a dark green) and 'Basil' (a nice deep mid green), or 'Mountain Green', which is similar to Basil, but a touch more bluey. Their 'Sun Yellow' is a bright primary yellow that adds sunshine to other colours when layered and is my fave yellow in any range, the DL colour 'Yellow' is a slightly warmer yellow, and 'Amber Gold' is a lovely Indian yellow type colour that is between yellow and orange. In Luminance, I would recommend 'Chrome Oxide Green' as a nice mid green, and 'Medium Cadmium Yellow' as a bight mid yellow. Hope that helps :)
Oh wow thank you for all these amazing suggestions, I will check them out! I think I have underestimated the light-fast pencils previously, they are gorgeous to work with, I'm loving these new ones so would be nice to get some more. Thanks 🥰♥️x
@wild.soul.sketchbooks So glad it was useful! :) For water soluble pencils, I also love the Faber Castell Albrecht Durers, (in the regular size, not the magnus) and can heartily recommend 'Permanent Green Olive', 'Pine Green' and 'Cadmium Yellow' in that range, they should work well with your Caran Dache ones. :D
I've been loving Indian Yellow in Luminance lately, though it's not super lemony. In Lightfast I find myself using Sun Yellow and Mustard the most. Stephanie Kilgast has a video from a few months ago with swatches of *every* Luminance pencil, so you might find that helpful to look at!
Hello Zoe! I believe the yellow you are looking fir in the Luminance is BISMUTH YELLOW and LEMON YELLOW. These pencils are incredible! I might buy an entire set!! Will you be creating some art using them??
Fantastic, thank you for these amazing Yellow suggestions!! I will check these out! Yes I'm adding these to my pencil stash to use these in my artworks 🥰❤xx
Your brighter yellows will probably be labeled as lemon,cadmium, chrome, golden, sun yellow or even banana ( Derwent lightfast). At least they are in my pencils.
Thanks so much, I love using pencils over watercolours, I find you can create some really nice textures by drawing back into them. I find they all give a nice matte finish afterwards. I used to work a lot in acrylics so it's a really nice change from the often plasticy, shiny feel acrylics create. I'm tempted to give acrylic gouache a go though to see if that's a happy medium with a more matte finish. Anyway, thanks for watching (not sure how much help my reply is 😁🤪)xx
Is this really the time to be raving about White Nights, a Russian company? Maybe better to support Rosa Gallery - a Ukrainian company, or Roman Szmal, a Polish company.
Seriously???!!! You pick the supplies that work the best for you! Last time I checked, art was not political. (and FYI...Ukraine isn't as helpless and guiltless and you want to make it out to be)
The bs of you expecting others to apply your politics to their own lives or what they choose to buy is utter rubbish. Live your own life and quit trying shame others for your beliefs. Also, I haven’t seen one of you people who like to shame others giving up buying Chinese products which simply makes you all hypocrites.
Actually it is. Russia is a democracy. Ukraine isn't. Support Russia 100% plus Ukraine is actually the 4th Reich. I thought Nazis were supposed to be bad? Gtfoh with the wilfully ignorant nonsense. Ppl who think like this imbecile are those that made the happenings of 33-45 possible.
@@mcescher1957you are absolutely 100% correct. They stated all this. Only a college uneducated American would see wilfully ignorant as the lesson who made that nonsense post.
Actually it is. One is a democracy. Ukraine isn't. Ukraine is actually the 4th Reich. I thought Nazis were supposed to be bad? Besides, white nights is an absolutely wonderful product. Next time someone is going to simp for the elites, ask for more money.
