Thank you! And I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂 they're little pieces of art in themselves!

@@painterastudio :)

Thank you so much for the kind words, Fico! Always so supportive, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Thanks Boe!

OMG hahaha, such a small world! Definitely guilty of spending way too much money and time there 😂You work with Ali??! Thats incredible. Is it something anyone can join? Chris and I were talking about her techniques and the way she uses boards and watercolour ground and just amazed by what Ali can do. Really admire her work. Well, welcome, and thank you! Also, the full set of prismacolors is on sale on Amazon for $155 at the moment 😉

Another M.Graham fan! I think I have most of the colours, at least the ones I can get here in Australia, but is there a colour you'd recommend adding? I thought the same! So I did some research, very similar make up, just using different pigments.

@@painterastudio Honestly all of their colours are amazing, I'm in the states so it's a lot more affordable & accessible for me than for some (still expensive tho lol). I saw someone swatch them in a video and instantly fell in love, ever since they've been my main paints and no other brand compares. I got some Sennelier to try out and I enjoy them, but even those just aren't the same consistency.. I wish I could take all of my favourite paints and turn them into M. Graham's 😂 It's hard to pick any that are favourites or even good colours to have because I honestly could just have all of them and be happy 😅 But I definitely use Gamboge (my replacement for DS New Gamboge) and their Terra Rosa (I think is the name) is a GORGEOUS natural red colour, almost like a brick red-brown. Their Olive Green was not at all what I was expecting when I first got it (very yellowish/brownish) but I find myself using it literally all of the time in my green and brown mixes! So if I were to suggest any colour above all, I would say that one. Just don't get it thinking it's gunna be a typical olive green colour. It's surprisingly useful in mixes. Especially for natural colour mixes 😁

@@painterastudio @painterastudio If you were ever interested in any colours from them and couldn't find it in AUS I would be more than willing to send you little quarter pans of them to test out or help you get a hold of the tubes 😊

@@RampantRoses That's incredibly kind of you, thank you! I'll have to work out which ones I even have, because I can never remember 😂

@@RampantRoses Oh I'm incredibly jealous of the amount of things you guys have access to over there 😂 We get quite a few of the M.Grahams here, and I have plenty on my palette, but theres been a few convenience colours that I've wanted in the last few years, but like Viridian was $50 or something haha. I think I have gamboge and terra rosa, but I'll look into olive green for sure. Thank you so much!

I would LOVE to see that. Copy away! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Not sure about this one as a print, but I have the same painting in watercolour that will be available as a print.

@@painterastudio Oh ok, I'll keep my eyes peeled until then it will just have to live in my heart.

Oh it'll definitely have its place somewhere, for sure! Great ideas, thank you!

It's a shame the sample was so sparse, because that is a very highly granulating dark brown that adds a lot of interest to mixes. Unfortunately, it is genuine Van Dyke Brown, which is not lightfast.
