Your paintings are gorgeous!!!!My favorite was the puffer fish ❤.....
Thanks Sandra!! I love these! They are so versatile and I’m happy to see you use them!
Thank you so much!
Well, hello there, Sandra ! I have some of this Hahnemühle Sugar Cane Paper but have yet to try it. I know your style is very bold and vibrant (❤❤!!!) -have you found that the sugar cane paper accentuates the colors more than, say, cotton or bamboo? Thanks for this video I love the random colors turning into a magical landscape!!
I found that the colors are softer, if that makes sense. It takes a little more to get intensity, but you can get a lovely glow easily.
@@1molossusexcellent-thank you! I can’t wait to dig into mine❤
Thank you for the thorough review, very helpful. And I LOVE your paintings! Thanks for showing them!
Thanks a million!
Wow... Well done... Great review, and great art. Love it!
Thank you!
Wow impressive!
Thank you so much!
It too sweet, Sandra! Thank you so much, from a Diane Antone supporter ❤
Thank you for commenting, RoseMarie!
Hi Sandra - I'm a loyal Diane Antone follower, and trust her when she recommends another artist! Love the little bird of yours, that she shared. I've subscribed to your channel :)
Thank you for subscribing, Debra! I hope you enjoy my tutorials.
Hi Sandra, I came across this sweet painting and hope you don’t mind but I’ve featured it on my channel in a short where I use your design for inspiration - I have linked to your channel and hopefully people will cross over to visit you and subscribe to your channel too. Very cute bird! Thanks in advance xxx Diane xxx
Thank you, Diane! I'm honored to have been included in your short. I'll head over and check out your work.
Thank you for that demonstration! It turned out lovely, and now I finally know how to use my Gelli plate!
I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful! There is so much you can do with a Gelli plate!
Wow, I'm so impressed! I've seen these type of notebooks around but never realized what their advantage could be 😂 Your style is so cute and you're very skilled with watercolours!!
Thank you so much! You can do some amazing things with these zigzag books.
discovered by Andrew Smith, mas took all the credit
Is this ok for beginners?
Yes, as long as they have watercolor paint and brush.
I purchased this set and am awaiting delivery tomorrow. I have the smaller set and just love them and was running low on a few of the colors and decided on this set. So excited after hearing your review as it sounds like it's just what I was expecting. Thank you!
I'm glad my review was helpful! Enjoy your new set!
What did you sprinkle on the paint while it was still wet? Looked like kosher salt? Why is this done? Add texture? Facilitate drying process? Thank you
I use Maldon Sea Salt flakes. They're larger and flatter than most types of salt, and I've had better luck with them than anything else I've tried.
@@1molossus thank you for replying. Question, is the purpose of the salt as a drying agent only, or does it also provide texture to the painting ? Thanks again
@@PattyQSmith Salt absorbs some of the wet paint, so it creates that mottled texture by leaving lighter areas. You can use any salt, but the result is different according to the size of the grain, how much you use, and when you use it. I like flake salt because the timing isn't as critical. The grain of regular table salt is so small that if you sprinkle it on too soon their is still too much water, and the salt will just melt. Waiting too long with any salt won't give you texture because there isn't enough water left.
They are very thorough explanation very impressed that there was not any ink in the paint. That you actually got what you were looking for.🎉
Thank you very much, Lynne!
I love your paintings 🌻thanks for the review
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Your design is so cool!
Thank you so much!
So cute! You make it look so simple. Such a cute little floof!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial! 😊
Hi. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a New Yorker expat living abroad). EXCELLENT video! THANK YOU very much! I have been searching for a mixed media sketchbook for graphite, coloured pencils, ink, watercolor and gouache and I had my eye on this sketchbook (it has a very competitive price for quality on this side of the pond) and after watching your video I've made up my mind. I already use Hanemuhle's 100% Cotton Watercolor Sketchbooks, though pricier than this One, which I only use for its purpose (watercolor), but I needed an EDC good quality sketchbook and... this is It! (I am tired of spending money on trying out so many sketchbooks, when I can be spending all that money in other art supplies). Again... THANK YOU! Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎
The Nostalgie is my favorite for non-watercolor mediums, and I do use it for watercolor too when out and about. I'm sure you'll love it!
Does the paint come with book or do we have to buy it
You have to buy your own paint.

Thank you for the nice demo!
Much appreciated!
Vos fleurs sont magnifiques! 👏🏻👏🏻merci beaucoup pour cette belle vidéo 😊😊😊Marie
Merci pour le joli compliment ! Je m'excuse d'avoir mis si longtemps à répondre. Pour une raison quelconque, je n'ai pas vu votre commentaire.
@@1molossus Bonsoir, ce n’est pas grave du tout…cela m’arrive parfois aussi. Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse 🥰
@@famillesevel3940 Merci!
Please, is the tooth grain ok to use graphite or colored pencils on it or it's too rough for pencil?
It works with graphite and colored pencil, though it takes longer to completely cover. I apologize for taking so long to respond. For some reason, several comments were not shown to me until today.
I loved this - it was great to hear your voice, too!
Might be fred valentine's day card sandra, thanks for the video and idea ,I'll tell him it was your idea 💡 😉
Thank you, Lynne! I hope you share yours, if you do one!
Great idea, Lynne! I always see it coming and then it sneaks up on me!
Thanks for thr review! I had trouble finding what the inside of the book looked like before purchasing... Also, you did an AMAZING job painting that!!! Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you, Tabatha! I hope you enjoy the book!
Thank you for this review! Its really helpful! Beautiful drawings too :)
Thank you so much, Kori! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
Unrelated, I'm looking for perylene, dark green (PBk31) , the raw pigment, pure, do you know where I can get it?
Unfortunately, I don't. You might check out Kremers, if you haven't already. I know they have a lot of pure pigments available.
@@1molossus I saw an old post of yours on doodlewash, thought you might know. Hard to find pure organic pigments affordably, either paying through the nose from a chemical supply place for milligrams or you have to get a lot.. if you can even get such at all become of supplier contracts and stuff, and often most art suppliers don't even know what the chemical is that makes the color. . if anyone else ever asks you though, BASF makes the same chemical under a different name for IR filters (this dye even though it looks black, is transparent in near infrared, like those windows on old tv remotes)
@@petevenuti7355 Thank you for the info!
Wow those books seem great 👍 you did a amazing job on that sadra ! Happy to run across this review.
Thank you so much, Lynne! I think these would make great holiday gifts for many people!
Thanks for this review! It was very helpful to me. I hadn't seen this watercolor book before. It looks like something my mom and I would like to work on.
I'm glad my review was helpful! Thank you for commenting!
Hi! This is very late, but how does the paper take fountain pen ink? My last sketchbook tended to "absorb" the ink too much/to quickly, making it too thick and messy. Also how creamy/yellow are the pages? Thank you!
Never too late, and I use this paper a lot - it's one of my go-tos. The pages are bright white. I wouldn't describe them as creamy or yellow at all. The paper isn't too absorbent, color stays on top for a while. You do need to take some care not to smear fountain pen ink, but I don't find it stays wet excessively long. I draw with fountain pen ink rather than write with it, and that does make a little difference.
@@1molossus thank you very much for your reply! I think I might go for this one for my next sketchbook, even if it's slightly pricier than what I usually go for, it seems perfect!
@@Lee-ll6xc Let me know how you like it!

I'm going to try this! Thank you for this tutorial!!
Thank you! There's no greater compliment for a tutorial than knowing someone is going to try it!
I love your tutorial Sandra, thank you so much :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I would rather hear your thoughts. As I like the music but was distracting having to read. Sorry...just my take Thank you though for your art pieces. Very good.
Thank you for your comment! I do speak rather than play music on occasion, but I'm not very good at it, so I prefer not to do so.
Thanks for your review! You forgot to mention how the masking tape removed.
Both the masking tape and masking fluid came off easily with no damage and I was able to draw and paint over the area with no problem. Sorry, I forgot to add this to the video.
@@1molossus that’s quite alright. I appreciate your prompt reply. Sometimes one never gets a reply to their post.
@@stalean0301 I appreciate my comments too much to ignore them!
Thank you so much Sandra - a great video and a great written review at Doodlewash :)
Thank you so much!
Thanks for this review. What is that beautiful yellow you started with? Is it PY53?
It's a Daler-Rowley Aquafine PY3. It's called Lemon Yellow, but also identified as an arylamide yellow.
@@1molossus Hi! Thanks for replying 🙂. I did not know that PY3 can be that intense.
@@awatercolourist I've never had any this intense before. I love the set it came in. Unfortunately, I don't think it can be purchased separately.
@@1molossus Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much for your review and demonstration! I was looking for a review because I had ordered both hot & cold press, but it won't arrive for a couple of days. There is a 20% off promotion at Amazon right now (March 30, 2022) for anyone interested.
That's a great sale! I'll have to check it out!
😍😍😍😍
😀
Sandra thanks for all these walk throughs. I have a question with paper and I know you have been asked before, but I can't remember exactly where so I'm sorry if this is the umpteenth time you have been asked ;) but ... ! I have noticed that in the best watercolor papers one side does seem different than the other. Does it matter which side you paint on?
Thank you! Yes and no. If the sides differ, you'll get different effects when you paint. I've found that the usual difference is simply in how much texture shows in the finished painting. But, if your technique calls for something like lots of granulation, one side might be better than the other. Or one side might keep the paint brighter than the other. With the Hahnemühle papers I've used, it has been the amount of texture showing.
@@1molossus Thank you so much Sandra. That was helpful :) Sooner or later you guys will see me back in Doodlewash ;)
@@celticpeasant9753 Looking forward to it!
Wow I wish I could have it can you make a video how to make yimin blue at home by mixing other colours
Thank you, Santosh! Since it's an artificial color you can't mix it exactly, but if you mix 80/20 Cobalt Blue/Ultramarine Blue, you can come close to the YinMin color.
Looks good! Might have to try it. Where did you purchase from?
I received my copy from Hahnemühle USA so I could do this review. Not all of the stores have it listed at their online site yet, so you may have to ask for it. The books can currently be found at: Wet Paint bit.ly/3M7foXE St. Louis Art Supply bit.ly/3HpAGvX California Art Supply Co.www.calartsupply.com/ Blaines Art blainesart.com/
Thanks so much Sandra. This was a wonderful unboxing. I absolutely love the ARteza sets. My husband got me the full acryllic set for my birthday, the one with the easel, acryllic pens and paints, palettes, paper, wood, canvases and more. It was absolutely amazing value. I just love it - now this one will go in my list too ;)
Thank you! I was really amazed at the quality of it all. I think from looking at the photos that the gouache set is very similar to the acrylic set. I've been thinking about getting it as well.
@@1molossus don't hesitate - its amazing. I just can't believe what they give you for the price. It truly is amazing an I am definitely getting the gouache set ;) Thanks to you.
That was an awesome review Sandra, thank you so much :)
Thank you so much!
