Beautiful lavender love the colour mixes. I like how you showed how to paint lavender in 3 different ways x

Like this idea thanks 👏🏼

Nice. Love the paint yourself calm book. You might like the Jenna Rainey book on seascapes

Beautiful colors. But expensive sets. If I had a choice I would go with Daniel Smith set.

Hi Michelle, lovely QOR paint sets, they are lovely colours. I especially like the granulating colours, beautiful. They are good quality paints. Xx

Absolutely stunning set! I especially love those Seafoam- type greens I can't stop staring at them! I sure hope they release it on Amazon soon, I'm not sure on how long they usually take to release on other websites I hope they can because unfortunately, their website does not ship to where I live 😭Thank you so much for sharing those muted tones are so beautiful! They would pair very nicely with my Pasteltinted set

I love QOR .. so vibrant. Unfortunately a tad expensive here in Australia… and also hard to find. Thank you for sharing

Hi Michelle, beautiful set of colours, the shades are absolutely stunning. I love every colour. It would be lovely if we knew they were lightfast I know the company is looking into this but they are so gorgeous xx

Hi Michelle, I hope you’re enjoying your weekend. I have the DK book on Watercolour techniques it’s a really good book, I also have the lost spell book beautiful illustrations. The planner you brought is gorgeous. Xxx

This is the response from Castle Arts about lightfastness - Hello Michelle, We're thrilled to receive your inquiry and appreciate your interest in Castle Arts! Currently, our product hub team is testing the colours for lightfastness, and they are under review. For now, they are not yet rated for their lightfastness. Please note that certain colours like pinks, yellows, and light blues are more susceptible to fading over time. When using our Harmonious colouring pencils, we recommend applying more layers and using burnishing techniques to enhance their durability. It's also important to keep your artwork out of direct sunlight to preserve the longevity of the colours. Hope this info helps. If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. Your creativity is our priority, and we're here to assist you every step of the way! Kind regards, Leo, Castle Arts

Thanks for such a great look at these! I’ve been trying to decide whether to purchase them or not, so this was super timely!

Nice set

Lovely flowers. I’m getting into florals at the moment too. 😊

Thanks Michelle. All very handy tips. Getting some of your unusual brushes out is particularly helpful. I have quite a lot but never think to pick up anything but a round brush. Just been having a play and am pleasantly surprised at how useful these other brushes are!

Pencil case!

Hi Michelle, I love the look of this set, the colours are beautiful 😍 and for a really great price, these are great for those starting out and for artists to practice with. I love the booklet with how to do the different flowers, it is a shame it is not in English but you can quite see how each flower is done. Thankyou for sharing this is great set.

Hi Michelle, this was a very inspiring video. I loved all the tips you have given. I would never of thought of doing this. Thankyou for sharing. Love your lovely sketchbook pages 🥰

Loved taking a peek into your sketchbook. 💜

Hi Michelle ❣️ Very thorough and inspiring video. Thank you❣️🎨 Lovely finished sketchbook!

Love the colour palette you chose very pretty design. x

Absolutely beautiful Michelle I love this. I’m going to have a go at this later today. x

Gorgeous painting 🖼️

So lovely, thanks Michelle!

Funny now I’m off to the sewing machine to make myself a big roll scroll hehe

I enjoy my Sendak pencil case/art roll. Thanks Michelle.

I like them all! Pencil case

Hi Michelle, I love Peg ‘n’ awl I have the same colour Sendak pencil roll and I love it so much I use it all the time and fits everything I need in the home and when I go out. I also have the medium pouch in the same colour as yours. The quality is amazing. I prefer the Sendak as I can arrange it to suit and fits everything I need. I do want to get one of their palettes to go in my Sendak. ‘Pencil case’ take care Michelle xx

Very expensive paperweights.

The expandable clip would be good for a rolled up jacket x

Interesting that someone would create a sketchbook and not have a label in the book with her website and name?.

On the pencil extender you need to slide the little ring down to open the top..

Hi Michelle! (This is Angie.) Those corner clips are really cute. I may need to pick some of those up.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I was looking everywhere for a swatch comparison between the graphite and sumi e.. and now I know exactly which one fits the style I’m looking to make. 🎉

From those ex hikers and explorers whom can no longer walk, thank you. I've not been outside my home in over 2 decades. This was nice. Ty

Those are all great colors!

Hi Michelle, these Daniel Smith watercolour paint sticks look amazing. I love the colour’s and the colour’s mixed. Suggestion : birds 🐦 xx

You can even cut off a piece and put it in a pan. They are cheaper than buying the pans or tubes also.

Oh adding to the list

Hi Ladies, I do enjoy using Derwent. I have a set of graphitint I haven’t used for a while but my favourites are the Derwent Drawing pencils, Derwent Inktense pencils and Derwent lightfast pencils those are my go to favourites. Lovely video xx

So adorable! Great set up!

Your channel is awesome and deserves more subscribers ❣️🎨

Thanks, you two! Love all of these.

That’s Us:) thank you for a lovely session. On to Episode 6

Hi Michelle, this was a lovely video. I really like the blues a seascape it was lovely I have my eye on some Deep Deep Light paints but I’ve spoilt myself with some essee paints lately which I love but I really want some Deep Deep light to add to my collection of paints. Xx

Nice array! I cover my swatch cards with packing tape. It handles the stickies perfectly and is wipeable. I also use a piece of parchment paper cut to size to cover the paints sometimes, or if there's room cut a piece of clear(ish) cutting board sheet from the dollar store. It can double as an extra mixing space.

I really enjoy hearing you verbalize your creative thought process.

Hi Michelle, love your red flower painting I prefer the first one but they are both lovely. xx
