Before purchasing the beautiful, yet possibly fugitive watercolors from Supervision...please check out these videos. I highly recommend watching! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w4IcB1bNt6c.html Kim Crick ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wUlexfHFH14.html Alice Lim

If you have a dollar tree near you, they sell cutting boards (set of 2) for $1.25. They're essentially the same (one side is smooth the other is textured) and you can cut them down to size as well. I just picked up 2 sets )total) so I can put them in my various bags/palettes/journals. I use them for neocolor, intense, and even my soft pastels.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

I'm sure we do have a Dollar Tree nearby. I can't wait to find them. I wanted to put them in all of my water soluble tins, but never thought of using them with soft pastels. Thanks so much for the tips!!!

@danielleb.7055 2 года назад

I do the same thing. They're very versatile and if I end up cutting through it it's fine and I can use it for something else. Another use I have for these cutting boards is for neo 2's basically use them like their specific pallette. I just couldn't pay the price of their pallette that's a chunk of plastic. Anyway that's just my opinion. Have a great night

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thanks, Danielle! I'm going to try to find some and try it. Yes, I waited way too long to try it because of the same reason...but the good news is it never gets lost. Thanks, it's very helpful and will benefit others reading your comment. ;D

@dorothypierce9689 2 года назад

Exactly what I was going to recommend. I use them for face paint practice. The slight texture is perfect.

You might glue a rubber cushion to the bottom to try to negate the wobble. Just a thought.

@shadowguard3578 2 года назад

I really enjoy favorite and regret videos. However, weirdly the regret part can get some people riled up. I think it’s a touchy subject and some people can’t cope with the supplies they use being on someone else’s ‘regret’ list, but the regret list IS my favorite part of the video even if my art supplies are on the regret list, I can take it! 🤣😂🥳

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thank you! Yes, I hope people hear me when I say these are just my personal preferences. It's totally ok that we all like different things! I'm just trying my best to possibly save people money, as it's hard to find things when you can't try them first. You should enjoy your supplies, even if I didn't like it. I can be picky, and I want things to be worth the money I spent. 😂

A lot of watercolor artists do prefer finely ground pigments in their pallets. It all depends on the type of artist you are as we are all different. Looks like a really good set of paints in the 18 set also love the little fome one as well they are great colors as you could mix just about anything with them out in the field. Thanks for giving us all a looky loo. :)

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thank you! Yes, I enjoy finely ground pigments myself. I think that is why I enjoy Schmincke watercolors so much. I always enjoy new products, and learning from other artists. Yes, I added a few extra colors for convenience. The original colors were great mixing colors. Thank you!!

I love these videos, especially your bravery in putting out there knowing it can sometimes attract the troll comments. They are invaluable for those of us deciding what to get! That Neocolor summer palette is so stinkin cute. Your box you sent was over the top wonderful and I just want to say thank you again!!

❤😊 I do love the Caran d’Ache palette. Your wonderful discovery and repurpose of the protective plastic in the dot folder! I found that one of my plastic cutting mats have the same finish as the Caran d’Ache palette. So when shopping and see plastic cutting Matt’s, I always check the finish. The little small pan of Neocolor’s is great, especially since these are your favorite colors. Having them as “extras” keeps them from being too precious to use freely. You can change out the colors to create a different palette to take with you. Thank you for your video and your commentary. I live in the middle of Tennessee 100 miles in all directions from a good art store and 200 miles from Blick’s. The art hauls and testing of the supplies are very important! 🖍️🎨👍🏼 Fran

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

I agree with you about the Derwent Chromacolor pencils. I was listening to you while working on some projects because I love your soothing voice and appreciate your enthusiasm and competence. I thought to myself, I wonder if she is referring to these pencils as I missed the part where you identified them. Yep, sure enough, same ones. I bought mine from Amazon so got a refund so I wasn’t out any money. I like my other offerings from this company and am currently using an older set of 72 Artists that have Rexel Cumberland on the front with a pastoral scene with stone bridge.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thanks, Judy! Aw, thank you!!! I'm sorry they didn't work out for you either. I'm glad you were able to return them. I love almost everything else Derwent makes, so I was super surprised. Thanks for the comment, and letting me know it wasn't just me. ;D

@suzisandpiper Год назад

I really enjoy these videos. Great fun. Art supplies are my sweeties 😂. Like you I have a thing about the limited/special edition palettes, especially Schmincke! That baby bijou Schmincke palette is super cute. I have a vintage one the same from Winsor & Newton. I’ve never used it and it still has the unopened paints in it I bought 20 years ago! 😂 Too precious maybe! Im scared to lose mine too!

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thank you!! So true! I really love hearing I'm not the only one who collects and uses them! Yes, I love the Schmincke travel palette! It's just so beautiful and I also enjoy being forced to use a limited palette. Oh, I bet the vintage Winsor & Newton palette is gorgeous! I have some old W&N watercolor tubes from my grandma that I need to try someday. I felt the same way...that's is why they are in my garage somewhere?!? Lol

What a fun video! I have to say, I love shopping Jackson's in London. I make a large order about twice a year. Order on Tuesday, pick the DHL delivery, and get my order on Thursday. Cheaper and faster shipping than any other art store.

@nancyloomis3046 2 года назад

How lucky that you can shop at Jackson’s in London. I’ve ordered one time from Jackson’s so far and even though I live in the U.S., the shipping is super reasonable and gets here within like 10 days or so? I have only been to London one time over 20 years ago and I wasn’t doing much art then. I would think the Jackson’s in London must be a huge store? If I ever get to visit in the UK again and get to London, I’ll be sure to make visiting there and picking up a bunch of art supply goodies a priority.

@violettahaven3706 2 года назад

@@nancyloomis3046 actually, I think the store itself is a bit of a hole in the wall. Cass art is the place to go in London....from what I hear. I'm anxious to go find out for myself. I love in central Oklahoma, BTW, and still get two day delivery. DHL knows how to get it done.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thank you, Violetta! Yes, I agree completely. Plus they offer beautiful supplies that I often can't find here in the USA. I also love their sample offerings and that they package everything so very nicely.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

@@nancyloomis3046 If you order again, please do not use the FedEx option, even though you may save a few dollars. That was the only time I've had an issue with Jackson's (not their fault), it was a nightmare. I dream of shopping at Jackson's in person one day too!

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

@@violettahaven3706 Really? I would still love to visit, I picture them using antiques to store everything. I would definitely love to visit Cass art as well! I agree, and I use DHL if I place a large order, but try to use the tracked shipping most of the time. :)

Hi Stephanie, you can buy those sheets of plastic on amazon or ebay, they are used for glass painting I think they are by gallery glass. They are used for the peel off glass paints I've used them a lot in the past, they are texured on one side, if you Google gallery glass they will come up somewhere. I've just looked and it's called leading sheets

You can get the plastic with a bit of "tooth" to it in the quilting area of hobby lobby or Joann fabrics. It's called template plastic and there are several styles and thicknesses.

Thank you! I will look for that to compare to the cutting mat recommended by others.

@angellove2911 Год назад

For your colio palette try putting foam tape on the bottom along the edge near the hinge and see if that fixes it. Also try a piece of foam tape on top of cover near the closure. It's out of balance when the lid is open

Thanks for the tip! I'm sure I will find a way but I won't be buying anymore.

Oh yeah! I definitely like full pans! I also use the empty metal Holbein (knockoff) palette because it doesn’t damage brushes either. I’d thought I’d ordered Holbein (they said it was!) but I have bought about 5 of them and given one to another crafty friend. If I have an extra I’ll send you one if you want to try it. Just let me know!! It’s the least I can do for you. You have blessed my life and lifted my spirits so many times in past couple years… Again, thank you, Nancy Rolfe

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thanks, Nancy! Yes, the pans feel so nice with the brushes. Especially when I use my size 10 brush. Oh no, was it on Amazon? That is so nice of you, I really appreciate it. Did you order on Amazon? I'm trying to find out how often people are ordering products and getting fakes on Amazon. You really did enough just by leaving a comment!

Stephanie, I am binge watching your videos on the buys that you love and your regrets. I am in love with that Delfonics pouch that you have and was able to find it in mustard (very cute) for $32.99 free shipping from Amazon. I am also in love with so many of those little pallets of paints that you found. Sorry to say that on my limited budget (elderly social security) there are not too many that I can afford 😢. Thanks ever so much for sharing all of your opinions. I find your videos very enjoyable and am loving all of them. You are such a joy!!

Surely I drive her crazy at times 😅 Love your videos and your artwork is beautiful!! 👩‍🦳🖌️

Thanks so much, Deborah! I hope you find them helpful. Just remember we all like different things, and that's ok! Oh, I hope you love the Delphonics pouch as much as I do!! I'm glad you found a good price, and didn't overpay. Trying so many brands and colors is completely unnecessary...it's just incredibly fun to me. I use credit card rewards and sell things that no longer bring me joy to splurge, so I hope you can treat yourself too! Haha, sharing on RU-vid with people who get it is so fun for me.

@Msboochie2 2 года назад

I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was entertaining, informative, and now I added a few things to my cart that I need to have. About the Chromaflow pencils, they are a student grade, unlike the other artist grade pencils you have. It was also supposed to give the European market a Prismacolor alternative as they are very expensive and difficult to find there. They released it in the American market first, perhaps to see if they would be seen as comparable. However, I do agree they are very overpriced for what they are but, I do enjoy the pigmentation and the softness of the pencil. The wood is not that good as I expected because it is the cheaper line of Derwent products, but I had no problems with the wood splitting or chipping though. I am so pleased to have found your channel.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed! Yes, that's the problem...they seem student grade with an artist grade price. I have tried all the pencils from Derwent, and this is the first time I was disappointed. I hope it does give my European friends a good alternative though. I was not aware until recently that Prismacolors were so expensive in Europe. I'm glad to hear you didn't have problems with your pencils, and I hope you enjoy them! I agree, that is what I did enjoy about them as well. Thank you, welcome to the channel!

I absolutely love these videos and really appreciate your taking the time to go thru everything. It’s saved me money 💰 and I definitely appreciate you!! Don’t worry. The colieros would bother me too. I like everything in order, straight and a good quality on majority of items. I’d rather just buy one item that is very nice than several less expensive items if they won’t last and look /feel cheap. It’s one reason I enjoy your hauls and reviews!!! You are doing some very nice paintings and I appreciate your sharing with us. I love the little Fome palette! I’ve been looking at a larger one. Can you really tell a difference??? I’m with you on just wanting these limited palettes!! I think Schminke knows several of us collect paints….lol. I hate to miss one because they are so expensive on EBay afterwards. I have noticed an increase in prices for some art supplies. I don’t understand how ANYONE feels comfortable telling you where you should spend YOUR money??? Had to laugh when you mentioned Amazon…lol. You are right …there’s so many items from China!!! Have you seen the handmade brass palletes?? I’m dying to get it!! I’m really not a good artist but I love art supplies! I believe it’s “Jared Draws” and Brian Ashmore who I watched. One of them made one too!! Sorry I am just rambling…. Thank you Nancy Rolfe

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Hi Nancy! Congratulations on your new home and that is great you are getting it updated. We need to do updating, but I'm too afraid of the mess...so I'm putting it off. Be careful on the pouch, many are over charging. I think I paid $28-38, I hope I said in the video. I love it and will get more colors someday, maybe the blue one next. ;D Thank you!! I'm so glad to know my videos are helpful. Yes, I'm the same way! I would much rather save up for quality items. I don't mind budget paints, but I want things to be worth the money and not end up in a landfill. The Fome palette is really nice...if it was larger a may like it even more. Lol But, I wouldn't over pay for it. Yes, I love the limited sets!!! I'm excited for Black Friday hoping for a pretty colored tin that they have done in the past. YOU are my people for sure...I still look for the green and burgundy tin I missed. I won't pay too much though. Make sure you check Amazon Germany before you bid too much! ;D I'm afraid to look at the brass palette...I have so many wooden boxes etc that I love and I do love all my art supplies. So I'm telling myself that I don't need it. Lol Yeah, people can be vile...that is why comments like yours really are so nice to read! Thank you!!!

@nancyloomis3046 2 года назад

Excuse my long-winded comment here. 🤭 I have become very fond of Schmincke too. I ordered my first Schmincke set last year (and the only half pan set so far,)a Special Edition set of 12 half pans in the typical metal tin that came with an apron, sponge, plastic coffee cup w/cover , travel brush and brush cleaner in a nice box that looked like a wrapped half-pan for $) I’ve never spent that much on one set of wc. This was kind of an early Christmas gift. By the packaging, which had pretty blots of vivid watery pinks, violets and purples…that’s what I thought I was getting…a bunch of beautiful pinks, purples and violets, (the big “half pan” box it came in even said “quinacridone magenta” on it,) but I didn’t bother to carefully read the paint colors it included (silly me.) So I was sorta disappointed at first after I got it and thought about returning it. I then thought, what the heck…let me try this set out, so I did and I love it now. Colors are: 215-lemon yellow, 217-quinacridone gold hue, 341-geranium red, 353-permanent carmine, 371-perylene violet, 782-neutral tint, 495-ultramarine violet, 494-ultramarine finest, 484-phthalo blue, 524-may green, 78-perylene green. I have also since ordered 2 of sample 1/4 pan paint sets of their super-granulating Forest & Deep Sea. I love them and will likely just order the tubes of the ones I like the most. Schmincke just seems to cater wonderfully to the needs/wants of their customers, and let’s face it, their marketing is very smart. I have other premium brand faves too, but I’m leaning more & more towards making Schmincke as my number 1.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thanks, Nancy! No such thing here, I love discussing art supplies. Oh, I know that beautiful set...Lucky you!! I've tried talking myself into it, but I have all the colors already. I would still love to have it one day if I found a really good price! 😆 They are good mixing colors, I'm glad you kept an open mind to try them. That's a great plan, and more economical to buy tubes than half pans. The Super Granulation colors are a lot of fun, and I really do love them. They have also encouraged me to play with mixes I never thought of, and try more neutrals. You would love the dot card!! Yes, they sure do have a smart marketing team and have me hooked. Yes I love lots of brands, as well. Schmincke keeps out shining the others to me too, so far. But, I'm always open to a new watercolor sweeping me off my feet...maybe A Gallo?! 😊

But I'm having trouble getting the paints out of the tin to unwrap them!! Can't wait to try them.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thank you! I hope you love the palette as much as I do. The metal clips can be pushed back to remove the full pans. Then push them forward to snap the pans back in place, so the won't slide around while you paint. Enjoy!! ;)

Hi Stephanie! Thanks for sharing your purchases with us. My favorite art store is Jackson’s, they have an impressive variety of brands including Isaro, old Holland, Blockxx, etc. Not sure why you would get negativity about Jackson’s, very odd. I wanted to mention that although French ultramarine is beautiful, the ultra finest is nice for portraits. I prefer the minimal granulating characteristic to portray skin. Try it out! Take care ☺️

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Hi Kashfia! You are welcome. Yes, I love Jackson's for the same reasons. I was surprised by the negative comments. Thanks for sharing, I thought there must be a reason! It's also a bit cooler of a blue. I'm glad to know it's purpose finally. I don't paint portraits, quite yet. I will keep it in mind for portraits in the future though. Thanks so much!! Take care! 😊

Years ago, I bought a set of 25 Pendaflex Poly file folders. Discovered a few months ago that they work just like the frosted piece you got with the dot cards. Obviously, buying the file folders wouldn't be cost effective but if by any chance you know someone who has them, ask for one. I use pieces of them everywhere. In some small handmade travel palettes and in some Neocolor tins, I've backed the pieces with white duck tape. Thank you for your review and information.

Hi, yes, I use mica powders a lot. The fact its a changer attracts me! I must say the reviews aren't good so I'm hanging fire at the moment. I do have some micas - haven't a clue of the make, suspect I paid the usual over the top price! Think they may be called Pixie Dust or something equally as daft. They're particularly good - I may experiment with them. I'll either end up with something incredible or a muddy mess! Thanks for the help! I did enjoy the video!!

If you wait a bit, Stephanie is really good about giving an honest review or letting us know in a future videos.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thank you, both! Yes, I will be share to share soon and let you know how they do. Meanwhile try it out with your other mica powders! ;D Also, thank you so much for leaving separate comments!! I don't see follow up comments, only new comments. So, that makes it so much easier for me to respond to you!

It’s those little round circles I think that’s making the base of the Coliro watercolour palette rickety. Maybe glue a piece of felt on the base of the palette so it will sit flatter. Or transfer the round pans into another tin.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Maybe, thanks for the suggestion. I will try that first to save it, lucky I have other palettes from Coliro that are perfect.

@Sanne24able Год назад

Thank you for a great video. Have a suggest for your Coliro "problem". If you have 4 - oh, do not know the word - but the things that you put under the furnitures so that they do not make any noise when moving the chairs or tables around. If you have 4 of them and put them in each corner of the box, it should make it much better. Sorry, that my english is not that good. Hope you understand my suggest.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

You are so welcome. Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that. Your english is very good and I understand exactly what you mean. Thanks again!

I love ordering from Jackson’s and the shipping is usually pretty quick-much quicker than ordering from Jerry’s or Blick. And it’s coming from England!! And they have some unique things that you can’t get on this side of the world. I do also like St. Louis art supply. They have excellent customer service. But you can’t beat the selection from Jackson’s.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thank you! Yes, those are some of my favorite reasons why I love Jackson's. I find items I can't find here and they are beautiful. I like St. Louis Art Supply, too...they are just sadly usually double the cost of ordering at Jackson's. Blick seems to be doing better with the shipping times lately, but they don't take time to package very nicely. Everything just seems thrown in, lol. St. Louis Art Supplies does that very well, like Jackson's. ;D

@lzal9204 Год назад

@@TheGypsyChic1 I just today had a bad experience with St. Louis supply. I placed an order back in September. Email said it was going to be delivered by last Monday. I’ve been emailing them with no response. Finally had to call today (long distance) and they never shipped the order!!!

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Oh, no! I'm sorry you went through that. They didn't have an 800 number to call? I've only placed one order through St. Louis art suppy and it was perfect. But, I think I paid twice what it would have been, if I could have ordered it at Jackson's. So, birthday or not...I won't do that again. I would love to find a store in the USA like Jackson's. Thanks for letting me know, so I can keep that in mind if someone asks about their store.

@tsariaalbrecht1009 2 года назад

The Caliro(?) Could you put little felt dots in each corner to stabilize the tin? It looks like those little circles stick out a bit right? Ideally those dots would be as thick as the circles. Am I making sense? Ha ha. The dots I'm thinking of are the ones you put on the bottom of things like furniture or lamps from the hardware store.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. That's a great idea, I will try the silicone dots. Thank you!! Usually the tins from Coliro and Finetec are very good quality. Thanks so much!

@jrm2716 2 года назад

The feet on the bottom are set in from the sides. The dots will help a lot.

Hello, I found you by accident. Those Coliro Pearlcolors are gorgeous! I have never heard of that company before. I will have to see where I can get them. And so are the SuperVision! They remind me of the Daniel Smith luminescent colors.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Hello, welcome! The Coliro Pearlcolors are gorgeous, but you need to add a drop of water and let it sit for 3 minutes before you start painting. You can find them on Amazon, and Jackson's. I hope you heard my warning about the Supervision paints. They are gorgeous, and I loved swatching them...but I can't recommend them as I only liked one box and the company as a whole as really bad reviews sadly.

@Bugiddle Год назад

@@TheGypsyChic1 Oh! Ok, thanks! I must have missed that part, or maybe forgot. I binge-watched a bunch of videos on luminescent colors, haha.

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

It's easy to do! On any of my older videos you can always ask if I still like them! Lol Many times I like things until I find something better!

@iwantmy10dollars 2 года назад

I felt the same about those chromaflows. I took one look at them and was so disgusted I threw them on the shelf and never looked at them again. They looked and felt like a child’s pencil. But then then Lindsey (frugal crafter) kind of talked me down off the ledge, she likes their performance, and got me to at least try them.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Thanks, Susan! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm glad Lindsay helped you use them! I like the pigment/material inside...but, I can't get past the breaking and splitting. Life's too short to use pencils I don't enjoy. So, I will pass these to my kids or donate them after I've compared them to other brands. ;D

@iwantmy10dollars 2 года назад

@@TheGypsyChic1 Mine don’t seem to be breaking or splitting. I’m just tired of companies pulling this crap. We see it everyday when we go to the grocery store. Jacking the prices up then you pick it up and realize they’ve reduced the size. Again. Price gouging and selling a shoddy product at the same time. I’ve started getting really picky at the store. I look for other brands… sometimes there are other brands that aren’t so bad as the main ones. Then Derwent decides to pull it to see if they can get away with it. Apparently they have because they’ve come out with a set of 100 now.

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

@@iwantmy10dollars That's good, I'm glad none of your are breaking. I even switched to a manual sharpener on mine, and another one broke. I was actually hoping to hear more people say that. But, I wanted to warn people so they can use their money towards something better. YES!! That is exactly what I thought of these...they are just a cash grab. I was trying to say it nicer though. Lol Oh, I had not heard the news of a 100 set. But, I'm not surprised....Lots of ladies will watch one review and think they "need" them, which makes me kind of sad. It also makes me think less of the brand.

@iwantmy10dollars 2 года назад

@@TheGypsyChic1 Ya… well I think I’ve only used one sharpener the couple times I used them which was the afmat electric sharpener. You put the pencil straight down in the sharpener and it stops itself when the pencil is sharp. I did get breakage when I went to use them tho so I try not to make them too sharp

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Yes, I use the Afmat electric sharpener as well. I haven't had a problem with any other pencils with the sharpener. But, before I gave up on them I thought I should try manually. That is a good plan to not make them too sharp. I hope you keep enjoying them! ;)

@DarkisArt Год назад

Thanks for sharing! What sharpener do you use to sharpen your Derwent?

@TheGypsyChic1 Год назад

Thank you!! I still like both Heavy Duty electric sharpeners from Jarlink or Afmat electric. amzn.to/3Q50OSN The Derwent pencils have a larger barrel, so make sure and get a 6-12mm sharpener. I hope that helps!

@myepictbr6968 2 года назад

Prismacolour are not cheaper, they are prohibitively expensive in the UK. So may be Derwent are primarily looking at the domestic market?

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

Maybe you are right? I'm not sure, as I thought they released them here in the USA first...which I also felt was odd. Thanks for letting me know Prismacolour are expensive in the UK. ;)

@mandieappleton8204 2 года назад

With the corilo, you are pushing down on the corners. As it has those dots it elevates the corners, push on them and they will wobble.

It wobbles whenever I use the paints too. But, you may be right about the dots making it wobble.

Chameleon powders...... Oooooooh!

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know how well they work. What works for me is putting things in my cart, as a wish list. Then I wait a week, and make sure I still want it to check out. Most of the time, in a week I find something similar in my stash or I move on to another wish list item. ;D You can use any mica powder, these are just supposed to have the chameleon effects.

Do you pay import duties when you order from Jacksons?

@TheGypsyChic1 2 года назад

I'm in the USA, and have never paid import duties from Jackson's, Cult Pens, Coliro or Amazon Japan. I believe in the USA you would pay import duties over $800. That could change at some point. But, I have only ordered tracked shipping, or DHL. The only time I had a problem was using FedEx, when they made me sign documents and give my SSN etc. It was not Jackson's fault, but not worth saving $7 shipping. I hope that helps.

I'm a newbie at watercolors, I'm really good with inks 😔 so I watch a lot of videos like yours! I love them so much! Thank you for your hard work!

@TheGypsyChic1 3 месяца назад

Thank you so much for letting me know a bit about you! Please let give you some advise to help you. I'm sorry it's so long, but I hope you find it helpful! You do not need many art supplies at all!! Trying all the brands and colors is completely unnecessary, it's just for fun. It will in no way make you a better artist. I loved to draw as a teen, but I couldn't afford any supplies. I'm splurging now because I am finally able to. I also receive many products for free from the company. I highly recommend you get a small palette of which ever artist grade watercolors are the most affordable for you. You will learn more, and spend less. There is a great shop in Italy where you can compare prices on different brands. It's called Momarte. Maybe you could start with the Watercolor Maimeri Blu - Intro set 5 tubes 12 ml or half pans if you don't want tubes. Which brand you will love is very personal preference. I love many brands like Schmincke Horadam, but you may not. Try not to spend money on budget sets on Amazon, Winsor & Newton Cotman or Schmincke Akademie (both student grade lines). You can get artist grade for nearly the same price if you shop around. Eventually, you can purchase dot cards to try different brands if you like. Please don't let any RU-vid channel make you feel you cannot create beautiful art without all the supplies they use, even mine! ;D I'm really glad you enjoy my videos! Please feel free to ask if I would still purchase the item again now. Many prices have increased substantially sadly! 💗

One suggestion - it is a bit distracting when there a bits of weird air spaces where you edited… in my opinion, better to leave in the errors and allow for audio continuity rather than create irregular audio breaks, which take the viewer out of the experience and may lead them to switch to another video.
