@@Lachri Hey people go to marketing classes to learn how to get customers tricked into believing they are getting a real deal when most of the time it's just that, you thinking you got a good deal. The store isnt going to part with any product sold at cost or below. I'm pretty sure that's why so many stores have bonus cards where you accumulate points from what you spend weekly when in actuality all it is giving us the illusion of getting a good bargain when in reality the store is profiting & making them look like they actually care about their loyal customers getting the best prices on products.

@AndrevwZA 3 года назад

Schmincke uses the exact same paint that they use in the tubes, for their pans. The best way to pan the tubes is to fill them half way, let them dry for a few days and then top them up. It's the same way they do it in the factory. You must have a look at their line liquid watercolours called Aqua Drop. Nice and transparent and works great in an airbrush.

I bought my 24 half-pan Schmincke watercolor set when my budget was tight. I got lucky with someone selling off his late wives hobby supply which included 2 sets of of 24 still cellophane wrapped, very high end watercolor brushes in a map and several high end Hahnemühle watercolor paper blocks all for the prize of one 24 Schmincke half-pan set. It is worth to keep an eye on eBay for art supplies. My Daniel Smith water colors I started off with 6 basic colors warm and cool red blue and yellow in the starter set and a dot card with all colors so I know what I want when I buy additional colors. I also have a Schmincke dot card for the same reason - to avoid buying colors I don't like and subsequently use. My palettes are porcelain plates from sales and thrift store. One is actually a white Russian egg platter, two are white fondue plates. Though I also snagged cute porcelain flower palettes from the art store when they were on sale. I also have 12 very small and very cute clear glass bouche geule plates with a nozzle from eBay which were ridiculously cheap. My make shift stay wet palette is a food tray for the fridge to serve cheese and cold meat that came with an air tight lit which was a tenth of a professional stay wet palette. I try to think of things that are mass produced and can function as pro tools, type key phrases and browse eBay and low and behold ever so often I find useful items like those bouche geule with a nozzle, a metal butcher tray or the plastic cheese tray with an air tight lit. You definitely don't have to break a bank to start on high end art supply.

You shop like I used to when I didn't know what I was doing. I thought I needed everything. Now I the cheapest natural hair brushes I can find. Usually the travel set of five from Amazon for $10.00. I doubt they are that inexpensive now. I bought them when Amazon first became a thing. Those and three natural hair quill brushes. Been stuck with those 8 no names for as long as I can remember and they are still as good as the day they arrived. I just use regular hair conditioner to condition and shape when needed. Cheap, easy. Effective and done. I hope you enjoy your watercolor journey.

They look specialist, yet they are so versatile - great crisp lines, fabulous points, and giving lovely 'full belly strokes to taper to a point' (don't know how to describe in artist terms, lol). Just the most versatile brush I've had the joy to play with lately... and wish I'd found sooner.

I behave for a couple of months and then I go on another spree. Luckily I do have a limited amount of money which keeps me a bit in check. My family and friends tease me a bit about it but my answer when someone asks why I needed another set of pencils, watercolor pencils, pastel pencils, markers etc, etc, is simple... "they're very pretty". That's my story and i'm sticking to it!!!!

I'm an art supply addict, recently being going nuts with Pastel stuff. Got me the entire Derwent Pastel pencil line in the wooden box, love those. Got me some Rembrandt Pastel crayons. And the best stuff is actually the PanPastel stuff. Got me some reds, blues, grey blues, greys from black to white, some browns, skin colors. And of course a bunch of the applicator stuff. I love how PanPastel works. Fantastic stuff. Bought in some small batches, but i had all of those things loose, not a fan, got me 3 of those 10 pieces 'palettes', man, that is so easy to use and even carry with you, pop the lid off, they don;t move around, easy to actually use as palet, it's great. And since it is of course a matte medium i immediately decided to 'challenge' myself a bit making something shiny, like a nice cool chick wearing a complete latex suit.

Plus the quality of shipping you know your stuff doesn't get banged about in a loose bag like Dick Blick does. Dick Blick shipped my open stock Prismacolors loose in a bag! Plus I waited over 2 weeks before it got here. The selections of open stock is limited there, But its so worth checking out.

You have absolutely made my day!! You are totally adorable and definitely not wrong. I went into my art room the other day to tidy up and noticed how many canvases I had stacked everywhere (all bought on sale btw). And yet, wouldn't you know, I had added more canvases to my online Michael's cart. I removed the canvases from the cart because why would I buy more when I already have so many. Later, I went to Michael's in person to pick up some stuff I "needed". Yep, you guessed it. I came home with more canvases on top of everything else I bought. Every item on sale for 30% off so look how much I "saved". Yayyyy!! Totally justified expenditure ;).

@denisestover2416 2 года назад

Hi! I've been a watercolorist for 28 years and here's some of my experiences. Brushes: Those series 7 sable, I'd suggest you NOT put them in the canvas bag. The bag will fray the ends and cause breakage. Sable brushes, the real sable, is very expensive. Depending on how much you have to spend, I'd definitely suggest taking good care of them and they'll last (you'll get your money's worth). I've had sable brushes, but the only pro I found with them is their capacity for water, lots of water in the "well". The Mimik's are okay for watercolor, but I always like some springback to my brushes (obviously it's subjective🙂). If you are still painting in watercolor try Robert Simmons brushes. They are low cost and high quality. Also, no animals died for the art🥺. Escoda Brushes are some of my favorites, very high quality, but they are pricey the larger you get. Black velvet is a decent option - depends on what you like. Paints: I've tried every type of watercolor made when I was still a watercolorist. I honestly preferred getting the tubes vs pans. The pan sets you bought are usually used for plein aire. The pans are too small for me. I always like to have room to mix my colors. As far as pans, they get hard to rewet and the colors are less vibrant. Some companies use honey in their paints which made rewetting much better and the colors yummy!! M. Graham and Daniel Smith are 2 that rewet gorgeously! I prefered tube paints that I put on my porcelain palette and I had a separate porcelain palette that was just an open pan and I'd mix my large puddles of colors on that. Try a few Daniel Smith Watercolors. They are very excellent quality and they have some fun options! Names: Yes, Perelyne (para leen)-you did a good job! For Quinacrodone just say quin for short. It's pronounced K•win•ack•row•doan(doan rhymes with loan).... or Kwin/ackrow/doan or just Quin ......like Quin Magenta* *whatever color I know you're familiar with Phthalo's because of acrylics. I like the descriptor Quidonkadonk, too! Quidonkadonk Magenta 😅 I hope you're enjoying watercolor! I no longer paint in watercolor, I am a silk painter now and have been since 2013. Silk painting is so SO much like watercolor, it's crazy! Also, I'm so happy you tried Arches! Three or more years ago I had suggested to you to try Arches and you told me that you were happy with Fabriano Artistico. I'm glad you tried it and love it! I thought you might 😉 God Bless 😃

@bluesonicstreak7317 3 года назад

Funny, I was thinking a few weeks back that I've never found a watercolor tutorial on your channel or Patreon even though I vaguely remember you sketching with some Inktense pans at one point. For anyone who wants to start WC with professional paints without breaking the bank, Daniel Smith sells a 5mL split primary set (ultramarine blue, phthalo blue, new gamboge, hansa yellow light, pyrrol scarlet and quin rose), which isn't too bad if you can find it at a store like Michaels and coupon it. It's definitely not a "budget" way to start, but I think I got that set for about $35 Cdn. with a coupon. Do that, and you have the peace of mind of knowing that the paint will behave as watercolor is supposed to, because a lot of "budget" watercolors do not. Of course, some people have to start with budget; but just putting it out there for people who maybe have a little more money but don't know wtf to start with. If you make your own dried pans, a drop of glycerin in the bottom of the pan can help "glue" the paint in.

If you want a basic black palettes don’t by the branded get the cheap eBay or amazon version, they are absolutely fine and do exactly the same thing. If you want a touch of colour you can get them in blue and pink too, but I am a traditionalist and black does me fine. The big ones look great but the small ones are just so nice to handle. Alternatively there are some fancier enamelled heavy weight boxes that have bars that keep the pans in, a far better option that a branded box, you are just paying for the name. The rest of your goodies are every bit paint lovers indulgence trip! Love the fun presentation! Prussian = Prush-Ann. But no big deal really...

Oh my gawsh... "Quidonk-a-donk". YOU CRACK ME UP!!!! :) I will never look at another quinacridone pigment again with out hearing that in my head. I love it!!! :) Hey I do agree the brand name tin palettes are way way too over priced. I have tried the Meeden, and even no name brands and they are so much cheaper and work fantastic. I am all about ramming as many paint choices into one tin at a time so I seek out the ones that have widen enough "paint brush holder" space to put another row of half or full pans in between the actual rows designed to hold the the pans. Some palettes are built so that space is too narrow to put any pans in and in my books that is totally unacceptable!!! ;)

Welcome to the world of watercolor art. One palette is NEVER enough. There's always new brands and new colors to try. ;) As far as splurging goes, if you spend big bucks on anything, spend it on the paper. 100% cotton is a must. Doesn't matter how expensive your paints are or how nice your brushes, if you're painting on awful cellulose-blend paper, it's going to cause you so many headaches. You're good with the Arches. Some of the best paper out there. Would be curious to see you try cold press paper, too. Have fun!

@Lachri 3 года назад

I'm so glad everyone has let me know before I found out the hard way! It was just luck that I had the arches since I use it for colored pencil. I do have the cold press arches too but I've not tried it yet :D

@paledeerwoman 3 года назад

I’m still new to watercolor, but in my experience Kelly is absolutely right. Watercolor just doesn’t do as much amazing watercolorey things on non-cotton paper. It handles water so much better, and you can achieve wet on wet techniques you’d never be able to do properly on regular paper.

@pantalonious3984 3 года назад

Schminke likely Cera-coat their palettes correctly rendering them stain and scratch resistant for years to come. Cheaper ones will totally do the job; but likely won’t last as long or stay looking as good or both. I got a bargain palette like it and it scratches easily and stains too so I use my magic eraser every few weeks to clean it back up before it gets to stained for mixing or difficult to remove.

Love art unboxing vids ^-^ A tip for anyone looking for those Schminke palettes: MEEDEN sells identical empty palettes at a much lower price. You can find them on Amazon. :)

Meeden makes empty palette for half pan exactly like this one but cheaper and pretty in colors

@natwinkel7790 3 года назад

I have to share this, bc it happened more than once lol I start watching your videos and I fell in sleep every single time, during the day! Wasn’t even tired. Your voice is not necessarily soothing and you speak fast so I was pretty confused and puzzled. And it dawned on me . Your voice and intonation is exactly like my grandma’s was who raised me when I was little!!! She spoke different language than you but everything else is the same. It really sucks bc I love your channel. Must load on coffee next time I’m here. Hope I didn’t offend you loll something like this never happened to me. You actually sounds soothing to me loll

Don't mind me as I add several things to my "to buy" list after watching this ;)

@stryder9267 3 года назад

Ahoy! I did Blick (online) or Asels (locally) for years. Then I found Rosemary & Co for brushes and Natural Pigments/Rublev for oils. I still love all things Golden (acrylics, Williamsburg oil, QOR watercolor) but I found my definition of “need” very much changed when I discovered Rosemary brushes and Rublev paints. *Highly* recommended. (But keep your studio assistants with feathers far far away from Rublev paints; lots of heavy metals). Love your work!Cheers!

@Lachri 3 года назад

I've heard good things about those brushes. I've never tried them though. Thanks for the tips on the Rublev paints!

Lisa, you are having too too much fun. You will have so much fun when you put the paint to the paper.

@noneyabness8761 3 года назад

I only use the Schmincke empty pan cases and pans because the quality of others is awful! I have bought two that hold half pans of 48 or full pans of 24. I also bought one that has the half pans of 24 for my Winsor and Newton colors. It does cost a lot more, but they come in very good quality and are long lasting whereas some that are less in cost come chipped and uneven coating and other problems.

I am all too familiar with Qudonkadonk... I saw that livestream. My wife now keeps calling it that :) I am way guilty of buying art supplies i "need" When I buy some new toys... i refer to them as "essential business tools"

The Silver Black Velvet brush you got from Jerry's is a Dagger Striper, not a stripper. It doesn't really matter what you call it until you need to replace it and ring your favorite art supply store asking for a stripper. 😉 I never thought about blue tape not being archival. Is the black tape low tack like the blue? Thanks for sharing your haul!

@claritzairosario68 2 года назад

Oh I thought I was alone with this addiction of buying everything I see of art materials😂🤦🏻‍♀️😂 when I started with watercolors, I buy a lot of watercolors paper! I have strathmore Bristol paper, Velour paper, Pastelmat, Canson Mi-Teintes, Canson Touch, Arches... 2 set of St. Petesburgo watercolors, and 2 set more of chinese watercolors 😳 Derwent drawing set, Prisma colors, Faber Castell polychromos....many soft pastels sticks, different brands, pastel pencils...brushes, acrylics, ohhhh that's enough? I think for me its not! 😅 my addiction stop, when I don't have$$$$😂😂😂😂😂🤐

@moonlightgator541 3 года назад

I try not to buy much art supplies especially watercolors. It seems like I will never go through all of it. I bought a set of VanGogh about two and a half years ago and only now hit the pen on three colors. Maybe it depends on the size of the paper you are using. Mine are mostly A5 sketchbooks. And I have a set of White Nights I used about 3 times and another set I gave to my daughter and she used it ones. I just like using up everything I have.

@askialuna7717 3 года назад

nice haul, I think the amount is okay, an order has to be worthwhile, and it is better if a lot of things are sent at once than distributed in the year and more waste and transport co2 are generated. There was probably a good discount, and you made good use of it ;-). I suspect that you got to know watercolour through the mystery art boxes, because there was enough material to try out, and then you realized that you also like watercolour much. I just think it's a bit unusual that you have decided for Schmincke, because as far as I know this brand is very expensive in the USA and local brands that are cheaper are actually preferred by people who start with artist quality. Try later other papers, the paint always react quite differently to the respective paper on the painted and depending on the subject and style, the one or the other paper is better for it.

@cigimon4 3 года назад

i got a Transaction alert from my bank(tm) just by watching this also you whould get a swatch card, you get a little dot of all the colors so you can see and decide which ones you really like/want/need

@dianethoroughman9541 3 года назад

Hot press paper is good for details. For looser painting cold press paper is better. Dr. Oto Kano is a great resource for learning about the paint themselves and their pigments.

@lisathaviu1154 3 года назад

Think of this as an early birthday! I know you don’t want to hear this, but you should try the Arches cold press because the colors dry a lot brighter. Schmincke tube paints are exactly the same formulations as their pans, so replacing your used pans with tube colors is possible and cheaper. Also, Schminckes are great because the color is vivid and rich, but nothing beats some of the Qor colors (Quin Magenta, Green Gold) and some of the Daniel Smith colors. I also won’t set up a box without Sennelier Transparent Brown (Bitiume). The Schmincke pans are sturdy and come with rolled edges so they don’t cut your hands, but I like to live dangerously so I buy the cheaper boxes and pans. If you really want to go broke, look in Etsy for alternative palettes. Often, people (me included) use pans with little magnets or blue tack so we can use a metal palette with the insert taken out and fit more pans in. I hate to admit this, but Amazon has the best deals on palettes. Some of the best are the folding plastic palettes which you set up just like you set up the pans but with much less paint. There is 1 more great source for brushes - Rosemary & Co. out of the UK. They are really pricey but really good if you are willing to use real sable. Also, Cheap Joe’s make a selection of “travel brushes” that are just smaller brushes with short handles. I really like them for gouache (your acrylic brushes will probably be fine too.) Finally, if you combine your watercolors with water soluble colored pencil, water brushes are the best (I also use them without water in the handle for gouache.) Finally, some of those colors, like Potter’s Pink, are difficult to rewet, so you might want to use them straight out of the tube instead of from a pan. Schmincke is better than most, but it’s still Potter’s Pink, so.....

I think I have two hobbies - shopping for art supplies and art.. probably spent more on the former 😂 oh and schminke is fantastic I have the gold powder for watercolour. Absolutely brilliant.

@Lachri Год назад

OOOH I need to check out the gold powder. That sounds interesting!

@jacintacesp Год назад

@@Lachri I'd love to see the artwork if you do. So far I confess I have only painted some nigella seed heads with it, no actual artwork but it looks great on paper too and I guess it will last ages.

@FelineFurKin Год назад

I’m curious whether Mimik are as expensive for you as on Amazon UK, some stuff ends up bizarrely overpriced there. Quidonkadonk indeed 😂 I use Jackson’s a lot, their own brand stuff is really good and they have the widest range in the UK. When I made my own palettes, I got some basic ones from them without the metal bits that hold the pans in, they’re maybe £5 for a palette that holds four rows of pans, I use blutak to hold them in. Also this is the first time I’ve noticed your teal theme, love it especially your rug.

Just subscribed to your channel, a woman after my own ❤️ when it comes to art supplies. Truth be told I have also become an art supply snob. I'm looking forward to watching videos of you using all the supplies you purchased. You know I also have a problem not using what I purchase because I'm not sure what I bought it for, I'm sure I really needed the supply when I ordered it. I do end up donating supplies to women shelters a lot of times.

The cool thing about art supplies is....... there's a 💩 load to choose from. ! Yeah! Wait, no, that's not it. That's true, but not what I was going to say. There are plenty of inexpensive choices for you that will produce amazing results, but you might have to do some research and shopping around. Ask questions, read a LOT of reviews, watch product videos by the companies that make the product you are interested in. And watch the sales. Sales are AWESOME hahaha
