Hiii :) Would love to see a project where you try to completely use up a box of oil pastels, including the part where some colours are not available anymore because they are already used up... would love to see your creative solutions to that, without using another set of oil pastels <3

Your are so beautiful ! For suggestion I would like to see a sketchbook tour just to see all your amazing art in one place. Keep doing what you are doing

my faves are yr renderings from yr neighborhood using mixed media's, as well as yr take on artist's painting & make it your own in paint & pencil. heat issues are too relatable in houston, the hurricane season this year...not fun, so yr shares are appreciated past & present. Enjoy yr mom's 'resort'.

Nice to hear an update from you Gabriella. The heat has been awful here too, although we have gotten a little break finally. I have been playing a lot with oil pastels. They are sooooo much fun. I always enjoy watercolor pencils too. Take care!

Hello Gabriela! Thank you so much for sharing this! I also feel like I need to get a hold of my spending on art materials... I have plenty to keep going. And you know what... Even if you review materials you already have, there's always someone searching for such reviews! Even if it's not something fresh out on the market. You know? Comparisons and such are the best. Also, demonstrations are really useful! I love your art! I hope you keep sharing, but at your own pace, of course! Thank you!

*SIGH* I feel like I have given Inktense a good solid workout and I just. don't. like them. I see how they have many attractive qualities, and I am ALWAYS urging people to use them on black paper, because they are so opaque. But for me, I just don't like them - mainly their texture, that chalkiness. On the other hand, I adore the Viarco! As you said, they both have truly unique qualities, and they are not at all the same. They are certainly both gouache-like, and both of them show up quite well on black paper. I just love the smoothness of Viarco and the fact that they don't get backruns. They do have limitations - or at any rate, differences - compared to watercolor, and yes it's a limited palette. But for whatever reason, I enjoy working with those limitations. I have never seen those Cretacolor blocks. Very interesting comparison among the three!

Beautiful!

I did enjoy watching you do this piece.

Great comparisons…I’ve watched twice. You do such good work!

The abrecht Durrell standard size pencils felt different to the Magnus to me too. They don’t seem to give as much pigment and when wet seem more bubbly on the paper. I was surprised.

Your paintings are beautiful!

Thank you. Good job. (One issue, Derwent aren't WC pencils, they're ink.) I'd like to see someone compare maybe Van Gogh watercolor pencils? I do have the AD WC (regular size) & Staedtler (super soft regular) in your comparison. Thanks again and great art!

Did your Violet bleed to the other side of paper?

Очень здорово. 👍👍Мне понравились чернильный блок. Особенно вариант возможностей . И на сухую и на мокрую. Думаю в сочетании с масляной пастелью тоже будет отлично. Отличный вариант для хорошей основы первых слоев в рисунке.

Lovely. Thank you so much for sharing. You inspired me!

😊🎉

Curious if you tried the lyra’s and the koh i noor water soluble crayons?

You do you girl! You take a group of 5 people and you are going to get varying opinions on any topic. You can't please everyone. As long as you are not harming anyone, you do you!

Lovely small paintings in this sketchbook! As you are painting, it is hard to tell how small it is until your camera pans out. I am behind in watching, but I do enjoy all your videos! Have a wonderful week my friend💕- Melissa

I just got into water soluble oil paints. I'm painting on canvas paper that comes in a pad. Using hog hair brushes and synthetic brushes. It's great. So much easier than watercolor painting. I don't paint fast and oils give me time, lots of time, to work slower. If I make a mistake it's easy to fix. I think oils are the best medium. I'm going to dig out my stash of oil pastels that are currently buried in my art supplies trunk. Cheers from Toronto Ontario 🇨🇦

Thank you😊now I know what to use to sharpen my charcoal pencils- Melissa

this is so satisfying to watch 😊😊

So therapeutic Gabi!! ♥️💯

always appreciate basics reminders, esp during seasons of overwhelm or low inspiration...ty for sharing.

this is stunning, I love it ☺☺

Nice use of multi media. Inspiring.

So beautiful 😊

amazing!

Thanks for the upload! It looks like the white paper is pretty abuse proof as well.

Super 🤩

Your cat paintings are some of my favorites! - Melissa

Such a cute painting! It reminds me of the baby ducks you painted with Derwent graphite blocks and Graphitints. Have a wonderful week😊- Melissa

Lovely work. I learned a lot especially the use of pencils. Thank you.

I did enjoy this video!! Both pages, and I have a feeling the book in which you took a page from was maybe not a classic 😊.

I just found you on CZcams and am enjoying watching you create. I also love that you don’t talk throughout your video! Or talk with your hands!!! It can be distracting from a viewer’s standpoint. I can see everything you are doing, and enjoy a little quiet in between explanations. You are a very gifted artist and offer great videos in a reasonable timeframe. Good job all around, I will continue to watch you and give you 👍🏻☺️. I also have subscribed, you a truly an inspiration!!

Excellent as always!

Most interesting, and the painting turned out beautifully 👩🏻‍🎨🎨🖌️

This is so good, watched and enjoyed till the end 😊😊

Well worth doing this comparison, thank you. I much prefer Intense., it's a clear winner for me.I bought a set of 12 a few months ago, I love them. The other two were seemed a little flat and the last one looked very drab.

I had a black cat when I was young and loved him so much. I've tried to paint him before. The black shinny hair is challenging. But you did a good job with it. Also, I'll try the color combo you used for the background. It's different and interesting.

Hi Gabriella,beautiful artwork 🙂 I also paint in an Art Creation sketchbook and I'm always surprised how durable this paper is. I like the white pages in this series of sketchbooks. A week ago I received a homeless dog, I loved him and now it's time to paint him too.

Маслянная пастель это чудо материал. Все фирмы разные. Очень интересна в художественных различных техниках. ! ❤

This is so good, what a stunning spread ☺☺

Really enjoyed watching you paint & talk ... how creative this was & the sketchbook paper did fine. Will stick around & watch your videos now. ❤

That turned out beautifully! I'm glad you mentioned getting past the ugly stage. I have given up on so many paintings because they were ugly. I finally realized that they weren't ugly, they just weren't done. Thanks for sharing your talents. 😄

So beautiful! I was wondering what brand of white you use that will go over that dark tree trunk?

Watching your videos has inspired me to experiment with mixed media. I’m curious, how long does it take for you to complete a painting or sketchbook spread? I still tend to overwork some pieces. I must not let it dry enough when doing wet on wet techniques. Anyway, the landscape turned out lovely! Thanks - Melissa
