Someone asked me to do a video of my supplies, so no tutorial video today. I usually list all my supplies and things in the description box, but maybe that's not enough information. So I try including some more information in this video about my experiences n things. I have to say though, some of my brushes are from local brands, so you might not find it if you live in another country.. They're either synthetic or mixed hair, so hopefully you'll be able to find your substitute. I definitely recommend synthetic if you're new to watercolours, because if you're new and not know how to use the brush properly the bristles can get damaged easily, and considering synthetic brushes are very cheap, I would definitely get that for starters. I personally still use them too because they're just handy to have :) I hope that this video could be useful to some of you and I'll be back with more tutorial videos next week. Hope you guys enjoy ^_^

Thanks for that Nia. I have one of those white palettes, my grand daughter bought it back from Japan several years ago when she did a student exchange, as it was a gift from her I havent liked to use it yet🤭 one day I will be brave.

@Gr95dc 4 года назад

I enjoy this type of videos a lot, I get to see what the artists I like use and decide if I want to try it or not. For example, I've seen some bad reviews for the pentel watercolors but you use them very beautifully so I may try them in the future, also I bought the Koi watercolors recently and I've been seeing some artists saying some of the same things you said but seeing examples of your work with them inspired me to keep using them while I learn how to work with watercolors.

@Nianiani 4 года назад

I think if you're new its better to stick with one palette first and get yourself comfortable with the medium, thn once you're comfortable, thts when I feel would be the effective time to experiment with other brands. Koi was my first palette that I painted more seriously with so even if tbe reviews are not perfect, its still worth using and learning from if thats whats available to you 😊😊😊 have a great day and happy painting! ❤❤❤

@MsVanorak 2 года назад

i found that the gouache falls out of the wells when it is dry in those folding plastic pallets. So before you start painting you have to re-file all the crunchy little chunks. But i haven't found a better alternative for a palette to take out and about.

@Nianiani 2 года назад

Yea it's actually best to use it straight out of the tube :p but I feel bad for wasting so much paint so I just keep it on my palette

@leslieressree9683 4 года назад

Hi ♡ i love your videos. Ive been painting with watercolor for a year and a half now...i wanted to thank you for making your videos because i have learned so much. The way you explain everything so well is so helpful. Ps i was gifted a whole bunch of semi old arches watercolor paper in full size sheets, please make a video on how to create a custom/diy watercolor sketchbook/journal. Theyre very $$$ online or in the stores. Cant afford skillshare atm either or else i would totally take your class. Thanks so much love, have a great day!! Sending hugs from Nevada, usa. ♡♡

@bluovalgal 4 года назад

I own a couple of Prima watercolor tins because I haven't learned how to play and mix colors... plus I'm a little cray cray about one color getting into another color's tray. Will have to experiment with the different brushes. (If you remember, I asked about the water brush. LOL) Anyway, great video!

@Nianiani 4 года назад

It's really okay getting other colours into another, I personally like it because it makes certain colours more muted. But it's not ideal when you want to create vibrant colours. So it really depends :))

@tombryan720 3 года назад

It's funny you showed that little Sakura set, i have one exactly like it. I used it on a grumbacher water color paper and it was grainy almost to the point of being clumpy. It's probably super old and I'm just a beginner. The Holbein brand is awesome and i got some winsor newton and arches paper to try out. I need practice. Your videos are just what i needed so thank you.

@Nianiani 3 года назад

Wow sounds like you have great supplies! Yea the sakura started out fine but it became very grainy after a while so I don't use it anymore :)

@JVan-yd3zz 4 года назад

This was surprisingly helpful?? I didn't think a supply share would be so helpful but you proved me wrong, lol. If you're looking for a white eraser, I would say Sakura has a pretty good foam eraser. Also I think imma gonne have to try and but your fineliner, I love brown lining but the Micron pens burn out too fast.

@Nianiani 4 года назад

Hahaha 😅 I was so worried that people wont find the content interesting xD I'm glad that you're actually interested 😀 I've never tried sakura erasers! Might have to try it then! Thanks for the recommendation ❤

@carolinec5010 4 года назад

You're absolutely right about the supplies not defining the artist. I'm here in the states and I buy a lot of different things because we have access to so much. I've made some of my worst works with the highest quality papers or paints that others have recommended. My best painting so far was on the "worst" paper, it's all practice and learning to work with what you have available.

@Nianiani 4 года назад

hahaha same! xD maybe if you're a complete professional where you have such great control with wet on wet, I think paper would matter, because it absorbs differently, but in terms of paint, I don't think it matters too much. Different brands and different pigments act differently, so its all about getting acquainted with your own paints. In terms of the fundamentals of art.. then it can technically be practiced with any medium :))

Thank you for sharing this. I've always loved watercolors, but never took the chance to try it. I just bought a few things to start experimenting. Your videos will help me very much. They are inspiring. I was wondering if you would be interested in using my music for your videos. I noticed you have classical music as background in several I've watched. Let me know. You got a new sub. 😄🎹

@Nianiani 4 года назад

That sounds great! I hope you enjoy experimenting with the medium. They're really fun and versatile :))) And yes! I checked out your channel and subbed :) you have nice calming piano music which would suit the style of video that I go for. Would it be okay for you if I use them as background to my videos? Of course I'll credit you and link your channel and website ^_^ Thank you for the offer :)

Hi, thank you for sharing your art favorite art supplies. Do you have a class on those whimsical girls? I would love to learn from you!!:-)

@Nianiani 4 года назад

Unfortunatelly I don't really do tutorials on portraits because its probably the most complicated subject to draw or paint. If you would like to learn the fundamentals of portrait and figure drawings, I'd recommend for you to check out proko's channel. He's a great teacher. To draw even anime style, you would need to know the classic fundamentals. So if portrait and figure drawing is your interest I'd definitelly suggest you to focus on learning it 😊

@Blossom2Titus 4 года назад

Nianiani Thank you for your response. I am mostly interested in florals and the type of illustrations you share. However, I am drawn to whimsical girls and loosely drawn girls. Thanks for the suggestion!😊
