Thank you, Wendy, for showing us all your new treasures! Isn’t it exciting unboxing things you’ve wanted and waited for, when you finally get them? I went to art school, but left 14 years ago to have my children and raise/homeschool them. Now that they are a bit older, I have just started getting back into my art again, but sadly I’ve forgotten so much of my learning! So thus quick colour theory lesson was much appreciated 🙏🏼 thank you! xx

It made me so happy to watch you unbox all your treasures!!! Thank you for including us in YT land !!! You have also inspired me to play with color mixing.

Such a yummy haul🎨so much gorgeous colour and playing with paint,love this video. The books are very interesting I shall look there up 👍🏻Thankyou sweet friend for taking the time to share 🤗sending love and hugs 🤗

@suev4143 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely loved this video! Been a fan of a split primary palette (with a few fav convenience colours) for ages in acrylics. And seeing your luscious art supply hall was such fun. My wish list has Neocolour II, some much-needed brushes, and several books ( a colour-mixing volume, a techniques book, and a couple of books on artists and art movements) on it. Enjoy playing, Wendy, and I look forward to seeing how the new goodies inspire you. May you be filled with love and light. Thank you for sharing. 😘🤗

@ThatPaintingLass 11 месяцев назад

That was such a cool color theory class!! Thank you so much. I’ve never understood why some colors would look great together and some would go dull but the undertone cool/warm makes so much sense. Thank you!!

@melisiayoung2925 11 месяцев назад

How FUN!! I love seeing all of your supplies! I am more of a fiber artist but got into the art journaling. Enjoy watching you paint and the great ideas for everything. I find your channel calming and inspirational. Keep up the great content! 💖

you add to my happiness I feel like a giggle when you play the air with your fingers...I find myself feeling a connection to your insight ..way of thinking and I've only watched 3 of your most recent videos lol.... I'm 71 yr old widow maybe I'm your Granny from the art dimension...lol.. thank you for your video..

@dr.eliciarosen-fox1354 7 месяцев назад

So scientific ! As a scientist I would love to read "The secret lives of colour" It sounds so interesting. The visible electromagnetic spectrum and the stories behind it as well as what humans interpret is fascinating. Great choice.

@golden1789 9 месяцев назад

Best colour theory and demonstration I have ever seen on RU-vid. Thank you

@justjudy7320 11 месяцев назад

Now have you noticed how easily you manifested new paint and supplies? Now just take the same happy knowing energy and place it in the places where you have doubt❤

@redwing3969 11 месяцев назад

Good advice... I need to apply it to myself and stop procrastinating😜😂!

@learnbyheart7 20 дней назад

Loved this video so much needed information and I love learning as much as possible about supplies, brushes, papers....I guess I just love it all. Thank you so much Wendy.

@3534538 11 месяцев назад

Time flies when you're having fun. Even not painting with oil and not even being interested in it I watched until the end 🙂 On my wishlist I have a really large synthetic sable watercolor brush. I think I'll give that to myself next Christmas. Thank you for the colour mixing demonstration. And for extra mentioning that the most useful base colours are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow instead of Blue, Red and Yellow. 🥰

@laracraft82 11 месяцев назад

I love mixing my colours, well done for holding off for us 😊I love seeing art hauls etc and you never tire of that excitement gettiing a package in the post ❤ im a mixed media artist so need my paints using natural pigments, textiles, air dry clay plus chalks and if course my resources such as books which I love to study and read 😀 im ready for a slighty bigger space now to house all my ideas. I'm a self taught artist and experimenting is my favorite past time. I get a lot of my books and textiles from charity shops 😊

@ehpeachylove 11 месяцев назад

Happy Sunday sweet friend. I love the book’s especially the color book. You’ll have wonderful hrs of reading them. Lots of info on all aspects of paints/color and inspiration too. Drawing is good and I do this too. Love all those beautiful paints. I’ve never done the color palette but watching g you has made me realize how helpful this would be so I’m going to do this too. I loved your explanation on color mixing. I have been learning a lot about this as a self taught artist. I do keep the color wheel to refer to when needed. You’ve helped me a lot today. I had expensive electrical work done in my home this past Wednesday that took all day. So since I had to clear part of hall closet that acts as my pantry, cleared the left side and yesterday painted the full closet top to bottom. Now have work cut out to organize it all back again. I’ve done some journaling in my altered book this past week so that was good. I was pleased with the pages. Wendy it was so good to see your smiling face today. Made my Sunday really. Have a magical week and enjoy your new books and supplies. Much love from my house to yours.🎨🖌🧚‍♀️🧚🏻📚🌻🌺🌼🌷😘☮️❤️❤️

@peggydid 11 месяцев назад

It's so fun to see your new paints, and all the colors! I use the Gamsol mineral spirits to blend my Prismacolor Premier pencils! Hugs! Peggy You can glue your brushes back together! Also, If you have a can opener that side-cuts, there won't be any rough edges! Even the cans that have a pull tab, can be cut to be smooth! Great for art projects! My next art project is to put my water color paints into a palette to dry, for easier use!

@terrychancellor4593 11 месяцев назад

My wish list...my own backyard studio!!! ❤ Once I feel like I'm at the level I want to be, I would love some Michael Harding oils and Belgian linen canvas...I dream big!!! LOL!!! Painted on Belgian linen when I first started purely by accident. The girl at the shop told me wrong and rang it up wrong at just $3/yard back in 1986...my teacher about fainted!!! LOL!! Lovely texture. Currently, I just this past week made a list of the Gamblin oils I want to get so they are my next splurge...total coincidence that you also chose Gamblin. You will love their odorless Gamsol, so glad I switched to that three years ago, so much better!!! For my ultimate art wish list - save up for an art adventure in Europe!!!! I've never been out of the States and I have dreamt of painting in the UK, France, and Italy for nearly my entire life. So enjoy your videos, you feel like a close art friend, a spirit sister!!!

@Hexelixe 11 месяцев назад

I loved this video! I'm still not much into painting or drawing, but I would like to get there again. I used to draw and paint a lot when I was a little girl, even though I liked writing much better (I'm an economist with a writer's heard and mind), however many of my happy memories of childhood, of sweet solitude are about me drawing and sinking for hours into coloring. My artsy wishlist is pretty simple, I guess. I would like a travel kit: a small notebook with paper that can take drawing and painting (water color), a traveling brush and watercolor kit and some pencils for drawing.

@zeitsandy 11 месяцев назад

That was really lovely and fun and interesting and encouraged me to have a little dibble dabble. 😊

@brightpurpleviking 11 месяцев назад

Gamvar is the only product that you can put on oil paintings before they are fully cured/dry because it is breathable and the paint won’t crack. Been using it for ages and it is excellent! I used to have to return months later to varnish but not Gamvar…apply right when dry to the touch. Yay for quality fun art supplies!!

The excitement of new supplies is always wonderful! My last big purchase / gift was the neocolor sets. I have a couple of gold inks, a white and a black. I'd love more colours, because I like the bottles. Though I'm not sure how I'd use them 😂 Your new books look wonderful too!

@barbaraburns 11 месяцев назад

It was lovely to see you so happy with your new supplies! Thank you for unboxing with us! I love books too so it was very fun being part of your joy! I especially loved seeing the books about color! I loved your color mixing "class" too! It was very helpful to see what happened when you mixed colors. Now I am between & betwixt wanting/buying some professional watercolor pans .. I am looking at the Daniel Smith watercolors/sets/sticks. BUT I am also looking at getting a new computer for digital painting since I have a graphic tablet and a painting program.

You are so delightful to watch and listen to... I struggle with colour mixing some times every now and then I fluke a beautiful colour, never to be repeated... hahaha... art supply wish would be a beautiful set of Gouache Paints... with new some brushes... I would be in heaven... Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge...

@maire1313 11 месяцев назад

A book press for bookbinding is currently my most sought after art item. I’m trying to figure out how to make a more permanent one myself to be thrifty as my current set up is more hassle than it’s worth 😂. Sending good energy your way, always a joy to watch your videos!!!

@katpaints 11 месяцев назад

I have some inexpensive cutting boards and I'm going to drill holes in them and fasten them with carriage bolts and wing nuts. I've wanted one since the 90s! Right now I have a 10 pound bag of buck shot that bought myself. I put it on top of whatever I need to press!

@deborahmeyers551 11 месяцев назад

Loved this video also the art haul the wooden box you use for paints is a good idea... Wendy darling I rub the red tiger balm with a cotton bud till it totally soaks up and disappears on the joint you will only need a little and then wear a fingerless glove on to bed helps. Loved bools too amd swatching ❤ my wish list for art supplies would probably be a storage box like yours 😊

I love the long videos! As for art supplies I would like to get some oil paint as I currently work mainly with watercolour and acrylic. But what I really would love is a beautiful wood flat file cabinet to hold my artwork I'm working on.

@judithcjames5316 11 месяцев назад

I like how had the other paints organized with the clip. I bought a bunch of them when I watched that video. I put the color book in my cart plus a few others. 😂 I have a problem of wanting too many. Thanks for your videos.

I have the book The Secret Lives of Colour, it was a birthday present and it is an interesting read. I am interested in your other books you got and did order one and rest on wish list. Thank you so much for sharing Wendy and talking more about colour. As you said as we are always Learning and evolving. Xx

@krismaki757 11 месяцев назад

What is on my wishlist right now is to take a few painting classes, oils mostly is my biggest interest. But I've bought oils, acrylics, and some watercolors to get a feel for them. I do feel a need for some basics training to hopefully give me a jumpstart to get going again, maybe with a bit more confidence.

@MeowxPow 11 месяцев назад

My Wishlist is never ending but my most wanted art supply would be actual water colors instead of the children's water color set I have had for years now.

@sabrinaburch3382 11 месяцев назад

Amazing video! I love this haul it sure feels as good as Christmas and a Birthday party to get art supplies and art books. I have a long list of art supplies, acrylic paint, I want and I'm determined to get them one day. Recently I purchased some Derwent colored pencils and the Kum long point pencil sharpener you recommended and that's a game changer! 💜

@kayfleming9821 11 месяцев назад

So helpful on mixing - thanks! I must organize my stuff before I know what to wish for - hahaha!

@missylulu 11 месяцев назад

I was so shocked about the Windsor & Newton brush, mine are cheaper from Royal & Langnickel/have the Jumbo firm and soft sets, the wood should not move around. Wanted do a shout out as I'm an American, I feel Gamblin is the best, I use their "1980" line & their Cold Wax to varnish my watercolor paintings. (for people never heard of them, the company is from Portland, Oregon) I took an oil painting class via zoom with their brand ambassador and Pete Cole the owner was one of the host, something I'll never forget. Tip: Naples Orange & Naples Yellow are massively praised for their portraiture.

@sagepremoe1565 11 месяцев назад

My art supply wish list is on gong and huge! Right now, I would like the most, a travel watercolor set, more watercolor pencils (landscape colors), and stencils. It was really helpful to hear what colors you would purchase on a limited budget. As a newbie it's hard to know what colors are used the most.

@theunexpectedgypsy 11 месяцев назад

yes, mine too, huge!! I think with a limited palette we learn so much more about colour mixing too! xxx

@lindaedwards7840 11 месяцев назад

@armandefrance701 11 месяцев назад

Lovely, thank you Wendy, I’m now inspired (instead of a bit scared)with colour mixing and have put the book in my basket!! I’m a textile artist but have started combining paper, recycled and new in the last 5 years. I love natural botanical dying and printing, all the joyous happy accidents, it’s such an adventure… I will now be courageous enough to try specific colour mixing thanks to you. Hope you have a beautiful week x

Thanks Wendy I gave all of my watercolors away to my daughter when she started taking painting lessons. What a lovely excuse to purchase a few key premium colors. Thanks for the heads-up on the Windsor-Newton brushes, who'd have believe it. But there it was, wiggling away. I stayed to the end. You provided some very useful info. Thank you for the "Full Moon Fairies" poem. We all had fun trying to identify the characters on the Black Adder postage stamp. We I.D.'d Rowan and Tony, who was the other one? I see the image of King Charles III in the corner. I'll be saving that. Best to you and your James. xx

@katpaints 11 месяцев назад

I loved this! It was great conversation! Gamblin is made here in Portland, but all I have is a small jar of Gamsol and some printing 'plates' for their labels that were discarded years ago. I would love to try oils again, probably using M. Graham's walnut oil though. I quit oils back in the 80s because turps gave me such terrible headaches. I have dug out my copy of Gurney's Color and Light, too! He is such a wonderful explainer of painting! I've been watching the bears at Brooks Falls in Alaska this week. It is fascinating to see their fishing methods - and I realized that I've never sketched them before. My results are beginning to look less like dogs and more like the giants they are! Have a lovely week!

@theunexpectedgypsy 11 месяцев назад

Thanks! and yes, the smells of yesteryear,,, remember them well! Your bears sound so perfect and yes, try oils with some less toxic thinners. There is one made of citrus from lemons!

@katpaints 11 месяцев назад

@@theunexpectedgypsy That sounds... smells wonderful! I loved all of the smells and was fine painting by myself at home until I took classes in decorative painting - 20 women squeezed into a small area with little ventilation, each with their own jar of open turps was too much. My headaches were severe. I was in an art supply a year or so later when I spied a woman looking at the oils. I made her a deal - sold my wonderful oils for $25. I didn't want the temptation. Sigh. That was back when several women who were famous in that area got very sick. They were finger painting with oils, pointing their brushes after cleaning them and just not being careful. I think it was liver damage. So one of them, JoSonja Jansen, came up with her own acrylic paint and everyone published only with instructions for acrylic. I tried that for a while and quit altogether. About a decade later, I took up watercolors and I love it! I do mess with other things now but I do love the simplicity of water-based media. I do think that once I get my studio straightened out, I just might buy some oils. We will see!
