Video

Fantastic video! Very helpful, thank you so much for sharing!

Thanks for the instruction! BTW, I LOVE the room with all the windows. If I had that, I would just move my bed in there and live in it. It's SO wonderful to have a space where you feel like you're outdoors, but don't have to deal with bad weather.

Is it possible without watercolour ground? Or alternatives to watercolour ground? Will a raw non gessoed canvas work well enough or will watercolour ground still be required?

Thanks for the review, i consider to add gold to my drawings actually, but i'm very careful with gold use. Because of course, it enrich a drawing, but it depend which drawings. I saw beginners putting gold on their drawings, and being more appreciated than better drawings without gold. It"s like it just need gold (or glitter, because it's the same with glitter) to be appreciated. In fact, i love gold almost only in illumination books from the middle-age or classical statues, because here, it have a true sense of elevation. So i'm even careful with my own drawings, because i want to deserve to use gold^^.

Is there a book regarding watercolour mixing?

Oh wow that was absolutely amazing with your art supplies haul! Definitely a great deal. I’m wondering if you waited to long before putting the wet brush on the markers to blend. Looks like you’re going to be having a wonderful time with creating some lovely artwork & journaling pages. Thanks so much for sharing this fun inspirational video with us!

AMAZING! How did you make those nice thin lines? Thank you ... Sara

Awesome work! Where did you get the stand, looks very handy?

Thanks for your review of these paints. I'm a beginner with watercolours and the choices available out there really had me stumped, so a review from an established artist in the medium is so helpful and very much appreciated.

I love all of them! I'm just beginning in watercolour and I can't wait to experiment. However I cannot figure out why your paper doesn't buckle and mine does!

Have you ever tried painting fabric without any fabric mediums? I’ve never been able to get paint smudges out of my clothes even with regular laundering, so never bothered with a special medium 😂. Admittedly mainly for embroidery backgrounds and bags which don’t get much abuse though.

I go there for my paper pads and basic art supplies, also frames x

You have educated me! Thanks so much!

The Range are my first port of call for all my art materials now, at least to sense check prices! They are cheaper at 2.99 than anyone for the daler rowney graduate acrylics, even the big london supply stores. And my all time bargain was a pack of 6 acrylic ink primaries for the same as one bottle costs anywhere else. No annoying postage costs either because my local has click and collect. I just wish they’d get with the program on stencils and stamps though, i still have to do Temu for those.

May i ask the link for the reference photo

Just wondering what type of laser printer do you have .

Golden acrylics have a beautiful gold 😊

The Range is my go to place for picture frames. They're the perfect size for my paintings. I only ever buy them from the shop, though, having been sent too many broken frames (and being refunded) after ordering from their website. The desk chair, armchair and doormat in my studio all come from The Range too. There's always something interesting to be found there.

Renesans is a company from Poland with good tradition, they reborn after II World War and then also survived hard times of Russian occupation.

Brilliant!!! Thank you.

More beautiful work. Thanks for the ideas, and inspiration, Liz 🦘🇦🇺

🐨👍

You are very talented artist and also very good teacher. It's nice to hear you and learn from you. Thank you!!!

Gorgeous!!! So simple, but so effective. Beautiful linework Liz 🇦🇺🦘

Thanks for the link, Liz. Just watched it. You explain things so well. Love them ♥️🐞

What superb artwork. You are so talented Liz. I love your sneakers with the ladybeetle design. Fabulous !!! Blessings .... Jayna 🦘🇦🇺

Manga pens for £1.99? And water pens? This would pay me to fly from New Mexico! Let us know how the manga pens work!

Wow, what great bargains!! Does anyone know if we have that brand, Artstudio, somewhere in the US since we dont have The Range?

Could you do a video on the image transfer method please?

Thanks for sharing! Would love to see the transfer. Can’t really imagine how it works. If you ever feel like showing it on CZcams would be great. Thanks!

This was fun! ❤

Love the Range for all sorts but not tried any of the things you bought, so thank you very much! What was the tooth of the gesso like - compared to the Galleria one?

Thanks for that, Liz. I usually buy my supplies online these days, but I shall probably pay a visit to The Range next time I'm near one!

Wellllll - no fair!! Good and useful supplies and great prices - but no Range in the US! I can only enjoy YOUR enjoyment of your "haul!" 😁 But - I guess it is a lesson - when I run out of supplies like these, I should check out similar stores and off-brands available here as they may just as good as the well-known ones! I mean, I always try to buy things on sale and from discount art suppliers online, but once in a while, it is fun to get out and about and do a little retail therapy shopping in person!🥰

Another great video Liz!..thank you so much! The Range sounds like it is very similar to Target here in the states...Although I think your prices are much more affordable! ...There are many dupes of Tombow pens out there it seems but so far I have not found a good copy either...But in a pinch I think you could get away with using the ones you purchased..Thank you again! Rus from Bucks County Pennsylvania.. ❤️🤓🖌🎨

Great explanation!

Great demo of the upgraded Ohuhu acrylic paint pens. I bought the earlier set, which I absolutely love. It seems to me that the new set has a lot more white pigment as the colours are paler and more pastel. That said, the Azure Blue is drastically different and I think better. I prefer the original light grey, but then maybe the new formula would be better for highlights or even shadows for pale subjects. I agree, the Lemon Yellow has become a deeper Cadmium Yellow which would be missed (for me). The Silver has improved drastically, I think. I'd miss quite a few of the older formulations, but on white paper only. I can also see how the improved opacity of the new formula would be great for highlights. Phew, I'm all a flutter about how different many colours are here. So very thankful you did this detailed comparison because I would have thought I had a defective set if I'd bought the new ones without seeing your review and demo! I still see myself buying the new ones eventually but I've only recently bought the older ones so it would be overkill at this time. Who knew a swatch comparison between 'versions' would be so informative?! Wonderful! Thank you very much and all the best! 👍👍👍

Did you or would you do a tutorial on image transferring please. Thank you for your sharing of techniques.

Try adding alcohol to your water when you try to blend with the pens.

Those are embossing folders. You sandwich paper in them and crank them through a die cutting machine. The paper gets squeezed into the texture on the folder and makes the paper textured. I don’t imagine that you have a die cutting machine but if you want to experiment,put a bit of paper in there and roll a rolling pin over it. The paper needs to be a bit heavy (or it will tear) and you can spray the paper with a bit of water to make it more pliable before you press it in the folder. You might enjoy experimenting with them. 300gsm watercolour paper is way too heavy.

Thank you for sharing, it was great to see how they work also. Your mixed media work is beautiful 😊 I love The Range so I was excited to watch this, I use their cheap paintbrushes more than any others.

This is amazing - I'm going to give it a go ❤

Love a bargain

Hello. I am really enjoying your videos. I would appreciate if you could recommend a professional lightfast watercolor? I am getting more professional and it's a pity if they will fade overtime. Could you recommend in tins and tubes?

Hello Liz, I’ve been watching your videos for about a month now. Brilliant and yesterday I had a go at 4 bookmarks. With literally no artistic talent I actually made something I am really proud of. Thanks for the inspiration. I’m just venturing into the realms of art journals too. 😊🎉

What exactly did you do? Hard to make out

What brand is this? I can’t find it anywhere!!😢

I’ve seen it now. Thanks. Another new thing you’ve taught me! Did a tiny trail with my glue & 2 black inks, great! Both showed patterns through ! Super!

Dis your acrylic paint an expensive or cheap one?

Wow, I love the result of this method! Who’d have thunk purple underpaying would turn into the most gorgeous warm browns. Can’t wait to have a go at this one 😊
