- Obtaining good quality art supplies is crucial to creating good quality art. The saying, "The bitterness of low quality lingers longer than the sweetness of low price," truly applies to paint, brushes and paper. In this brief studio visit, I will share my favorite art brands with you and show you how my studio space is set up.

Who could dislike this video. What an amazing studio! Thank you for sharing
Thanks, Nelson! I am blessed to have such a wonderful place to paint.
Nelson - I'm always happy when I see things like that, happy I'm not a person that can find negativity in a nice video like this.
Thank you for this video, far from boring. Gives me incentive to get my studio in order & do away with extra “noise” to be more productive.
Hope to see more.
Thank you for that assurance. I wish you the best with your painting goals!
Oh, thank you so much for this video! And huge thanks to your daughter for suggesting it! So very very helpful to see what tried and true art supplies could be. Very often artists and companies promote expensive products, that not everyone can buy, but newbies convinced that they should obtain them in order to get better. All your tips and suggestions are so kind and helpful. So grateful that I found you and your videos. Capturing the light in such a way - is just amazing. I love watching your videos, it's like a dessert for me! Love the closing quote.
Oh Iryna! I love you and I don’t even know you. Your kind comments are the greatest gift I could receive as an artist. I am grateful for the privilege to share what I have been so fortunate to learn from so many teachers in my life. Glad to pass along these nuggets I have learned from other artists to others wanting to improve their skills. To hear you think of these videos as dessert for you and maybe others makes me so happy to continue filming! Your feedback is so appreciated!💕
Thanks madam for this beautiful video. Is a nice experience to hear you talk, you are one of those persons that irradiate light and good vibes. Your paintings, gladly, reflects those qualities.
Thank you so much! This is one of the most precious comments I have ever received. I would be happy to share with you the source of my light-just look for the two missionaries that wear the white shirts and ties. They can tell you about it.
Thank you so much I have been doing watercolor for about six months prior to that I was doing acrylics and oils for like three years self-taught I have been venturing all over the different mediums and I am currently in love with watercolors I appreciate you sharing your supplies and why you use them and where we can probably find them I too am currently sitting in a quarter of my dining room which I remove the dining table and the chairs . Lol I’m getting ready to buy one of those folding the partitions to hide away my messy corner but I hope to one day have a beautiful place to paint just like yours thank you so much
Thanks Linda! I’m very blessed to have my studio, but for years I just painted in a little corner place too! Where you paint is not as critical as the fact that you keep doing it!
I love videos of other artist studios with their setup and tools. Thank you for this!
Thank you for taking time to comment.
Absolutely! your work is amazing!
Thank you for doing such a detailed video of your studio!
Thanks Beth!
Thank you Laurel for this tour of your beautiful studio. What a glorious space to create art! I have been subscribed to your channel and have benefited from your wisdom and skill but had never gone back to view this older video. What a very helpful and down to earth guide to basic requirements. I appreciate that you have guided artists to products (brushes in particular) which are excellent quality but not extravagantly expensive. A fabulous handmade sable brush is a thing of beauty and an object of wonderful craftsmanship, but it is not necessary to produce a beautiful watercolour painting! You demonstrate that so well!
Thank you also for your quiet faith and assurance. It is balm in a world where everything is loud and feels like a sales pitch from a shady used car dealer! 😵💫
Most of all, thank you for sharing the beautiful quote at the end. I hope it is cited in the notes as I would very much like to post it in my workspace. Such blessed and wise advice in a world now so changed by pandemic, anxiety and, well, rage. I apologize for the loooong comment, but I wanted to let you know how much watching this simple video has helped me today in ways far beyond choosing my paper! Bless you Laurel, and keep the faith!
Thank you so much for this video and your supportive words, as a self taught artist I strive to continue to get better everyday. So grateful .
I have a special place in my heart for self taught artists! I want to help as much as I can!
Richard Schmitz home or letter was so right on thank you for sharing that with us I’ve never heard it before
I know, it’s beautiful, isn’t it?
I love this video, not boring at all! Thanks for sharing, so interesting.
I’m glad it didn’t seem too boring!
Just found your site and very thankful. You are such a modest person. Love your studio and supply tour. Your work is stunning and you embrace colour. Loved the quote at the end of your video.
Thank you Mary. So grateful for your kind comment.
Lovely thank you very much for letting us into your studio and sharing valuable information x
Thanks Trish!
Omg I wear bibs for keeping my phone for music as well, had to pause your video to say I LOVE how you began with apron for music. Your a kindred spirit!
That’s so cool!
Thank you Laurel! You have a great talent at simplifying shapes which is how I found you. And your work is gorgeous. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Thank you!
Such a wonderful video! I think I can speak for many artists in saying we dream of having a cozy studio like yours.
Thank you!
Hi! Love your work and as a new, though old!, watercolor painter I really appreciate that you wonderful artists take the time to teach us. One thought I wish to share though and that relates to the toxic chemicals in some of the professional paints. Eating paint is not the concern as the pro paints are very costly and I imagine we all keep them from children, but rather it is the environmental impact. As a farmer this is an issue near and dear to my heart. Waste paint and dirty wash water ends up in land, tiny amounts from each of us using them, but every bit adds up. Changing our mindset to be considering environmental impact is a gift we can give our grandchildren, along with beautiful art. We have an organic farm in a rural area. Our water cones from a well, waste water goes into a septic tank with liquids exciting into a leach field on land elevated over pastures and spring ponds that feed our animals and wildlife. This direct connection we have here to the land means we are in touch with the need to help protect our natural resources. I think that folks who live in suburbs and cities may not as easily realize the impact of their choices on the environment, yet, due to the greater population, they actually impact the environment in a huge amount. Imagine having that large population become sensitive to how their choices affect the land, imagine how this would be such a gift to future generations. Perhaps you could consider this aspect when choosing paints with toxic ingredients particularly since now we have such gorgeous choices in paints that do not contain dangerous substances such as in the heavy metals cadmium and manganese for instance but offer wonderful options for very similar colors. This comment is sent with the utmost respect for you and your work.
Oh my goodness!! This is an issue I have never even considered! What an eye opening comment that makes perfect sense. Thank you for enlightening me and I’m sure many others. Do you have more information on which paints, besides the cadmium that we should be careful with? And how should they be safely disposed of?
California has the tightest regulations and paints are noted as regulated/restricted in that state (along with a few other states). If you look at art catalogs (I have the big one from Blick's) they note all that info by each paint to help direct your purchases. As far as disposal, treat them as toxic chemicals. Most areas have times and locations when you can drop off toxic stuff like paints, drugs, empty cans of bug spray, whatever. Ask at your town hall to connect you with whatever department handles that be it the town dump or even your private garbage company may have the info. You can dump your wastewater from painting into a container and label it as toxic chemicals and they will dispose of them in a manner that either detoxifies them or puts them into environmentally safe containers (not the best options but at least they are not all over the place). I do know those containers are widely used since I know the family that has the privilege of still receiving the proceeds from the government and private purchases as their grandfather invented those containers for radioactive and environmentally and personally dangerous contents. Those containers are sending their kids to college and purchasing their middle class style homes. They do not support a lavish lifestyle but still, they are going to good use. Thanks for your kind sensitive response.
+Farmwife such great information! Thanks so much!
Very nice, I love it. My studio is my dining room. Since I don't really use my dining room table that is what put my easel on. I'm going through a divorce and having trouble getting back to painting. So I'm trying to watch a bunch of painting videos. I've just found you recently.
I’m so sorry I didn’t see this comment. I hope painting has come back into your life by now. It can be such a healing influence! Thanks for watching.
I have your book! I've been reading watercolor books as I wait to "set up". I have over 100 books. I would never have known you were author without seeing video. Thank you for sharing! God Bless You!
Thank you Nancy. That’s funny that you already had my book.
Wouldn't turn you off! Excellent information.
James McCormack thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Laurel (and Brittney ;))! I am really enjoying your videos, and look forward to more! God bless you!
Thank you, Cynthia! I knew other artists would appreciate a video like this. Are you a watercolor artist too?
I am so thrilled you share your talents and tips with us! Thank you!
Thanks Kim!
I found your channel while browsing and really enjoy your work. I have been an artist most of my life, not professionally but mainly for my own pleasure. I watched this video this morning and found your down to earth explanation of your materials and work so refreshing. Having been involved with the art community over the years I'm sorry to say that there seems to be a lot of snobbery and egotism. I am currently a colored pencil artist as I was always unhappy with my watercolor work but seeing your paintings has inspired me to give it another try. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for your comment! I hope you will give watercolor a try!
I play music or follow your tutorials while painting! Love your work!🙋🏼♀️🖌🎨
Thanks Jen.
Thank you for a lovely studio tour
Thanks for watching!
One of the most helpful videos ever!
thank you for sharing all the supplies, it is always a big help when artists want to share their skills and materials!!!! You are amazing!
Thank you! You are very kind to share your feelings.
I loved seeing your studio! What a neat story behind the building. Your daughter was correct. Many of us enjoy and learn from seeing studios. I fell in love with yours immediately!! I wish I would have seen this before I bought my watercolor supplies. I spent too much on brushes.
I can understand how "special" it is to you. I paint at home. I've been doing oils but had to change to watercolor. I've fallen in love!!Im not a professional and have had no training. Isn't God good to have given us our love of painting? It's my "Calgon, take me away". I hope you remember that commercial..lol
I don't think of anything when I paint. I'm in process of getting place set up in our new smaller house. I've missed it!!#
Thanks again! Your paintings are beyond beautiful!!
Thank you Nancy. I am chuckling over your “Calgon, Take me away” comparison to what painting does for us. Ha ha! It’s so true-and I definitely remember the commercials. I’m glad you’ll have a space set aside for painting in your home. And yes, we are so blessed to have this love for creating as artists. I’m glad we can relate!
Such a delightful, generous-hearted woman blessed with a wonderful gift. Many thanks for sharing your pearls of wisdom. :-)
Thanks for the kind words!
Lovely studio thanks so much for sharing. Your work is so beautiful.
Thank you!
This video was very informative and helpful. I’m new to watercolor.
Thank you so much for sharing, and showing your art supplies , and thanks for this beautiful words !! Brigitte
Thanks for taking time to comment!
Thank you Mrs. Hart!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for inviting me to Your wonderful studio!!
Thank you Tom. I’m glad you liked my studio-it’s my home away from home.
Such a nice video. Very helpful. Thanks for your efforts.
Enjoying your content very much Laurel !
Hi Laurel - Thanks, this is a wonderful video .. I've found the information very useful. But above all, I really liked your down-to-earth attitude & the very simple way you stated the facts. The last quote from Richard Schmidt was extremely insightful. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for your comment. Your feedback is warmly appreciated, Sagnik.
I recently picked up watercolor as a hobby during quarantine. Your videos are great. Both for learning and soothing. Could you show us how you simplify your reference photos in photoshop? Thank you and keep safe! 🤗
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you’ve taken up watercolor. I will try to do a segment on how I simplify photos in the fruitier.
Great info! Thankyou
Thanks for watching!
Lovely, thank you so much!
Thanks!
Thank you for sharing this, very helpful! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Recently found your videos and I’m learning a lot. I LOVE your studio- I wish-. Keep the videos coming please.
Thanks Sandy!
So helpful.
Thanks!
I think most artists would love a studio like that.
It's so nice of you to say this. I love having a stand alone place just for creating art! Every time I walk in the door I feel the creative juices start flowing.
Your information was very helpful. I am starting back on my art and enjoy painting very much. Thank you for sharing this video 👏👏👏💗💗💗😁.
Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful and not too boring.
i have several lowel cornell brushes and the are really good and not just for watercolors
I love these brushes!
What a Lovely video! Thank you for showing us your personal space and tools. I just recently discovered the Winsor and Newton paper and fell in love instantly! It is such a robust paper. I replaced my Arches with it even. I was tickled to find out that my palette and yours are very similar. The transparent red iron oxide is one of my favorite colors, and especially the one from M. Graham, which is my go to brand for most of my palette, aside from the manganese. I adore the version from Winsor and Newton. I also have the Mission Gold version as it is just Manganese and not a hue. I also have the white gouache, and the way I see it, if it was good enough for the masters then it is good enough for me, and I don't think it's cheating at all. I think you are a wonderful artist and I really enjoy your beautiful style. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your time, wisdom, and amazing talent with us. You have such a please by speaking voice that makes it very easy to pay attention to and learn from. Thank you. Blessings to you and yours, with Much Love and Respect from your fan in North Carolina, Stacy
This is such a nice comment! I’m excited to learn there is a place to find real Manganese blue! Thanks for taking the time to share this info! I wish I could meet all you wonderful commenters sometime. I love you all and it is so amazing to have art connect us to one another in this way. Sorry I’m late answering these comments!
Laurel Hart No worries, I think it is awesome that you took the time to respond! I know that you are very busy so it is much appreciated! I really enjoy your videos. I'm grateful that you take the time to make and share them. With much Love and Respect, Stacy
P.S. Manganese Blue is one of my favorite colors, let us know if you get the chance to try them.
+ladyshadow79 Thanks! I’ll let you know!
I enjoy your videos so much! You are truly an awesome woman and great teacher!
Thanks for sharing!!
here I got all the info. thanks a lot
Thank you for sharing
Try Saunders Waterford . It ‘s much like Windsor Newton.
Thank you!
Please keep making your videos.
So helpful. Thank you
Thank you!
Laurel, I love yoUr work! You are an inspiration. Thank you for Sharing.
Thanks!
A good video, thanks.
If you are looking for a good quality and affordable paper I would recommend Saunders Waterford 200lb (400gsm) cold pressed (NOT).
It’s available in a standard off white and a high white in imperial size sheets, HP NOT and Rough.
Have found this to be a good all rounder, heavier than 140lb and not as expensive as 300lb it is moderately sized and will take lifting out, scratching out etc... well.
Before anyone asks I am not sponsored by the manufacturer, I just like the product.
Thanks David! I appreciate the recommendation!
What a lovely lady 🙋🏼♀️💜
What a sweet comment-thank you so very much!
What a gorgeous studio!
Thank you Debi! It is a very special place for me.
I’m just now viewing this video... thank you so much for sharing your studio and helpful hints on supplies! Also, I love the quote you read at the end. Is there somewhere I can find it? I’d love to have it in writing to refer to. Many thanks for your inspiration!
Hi Sonia. Thanks for watching and commenting. That quote comes from Richard Schmidt’s book, I believe the title is, “everything I Know About Painting. It’s the last paragraph. If you can’t find it, I could send you a pic of the quote at my studio.
you are so lovely and genuine
Thank you Jesse. You’re very kind.
thank you, great to see your set up :) question: would like to know what camera you use, just your phone?I do alot of small close up detailed colored pencil works of flowers and leaves and then larger watercolor paintings of lights /shadows, still life, figure, animals, landscape...I need something that can zoom close up and catch tiny waterdroplet detail on a petal and also zoom for far off water spray of a wave hitting a rock. interested because I picked up art again after many years and still have an old school 35 mm. comment: Please research cell phone proximity and cancer, I dont carry a cell phone or hold it close to my ear or body if I can help it, girls who carry their cell phones in their bras have increase risk of breast cancer, professionals who are on their phone alot have increased cases of brain cancer. its a good thing you dont like to stare at a computer screen for your reference pics as the blue light kills DHA and melatonin through your eye, disrupts circadian rhythm and hormones and causes eye issues.
Wow I missed this informative comment. So sorry. I do use my iphone camera for most of my pics these days, but I do have a Nikon D50 with a good telephoto lens too. It’s pretty outdated now though.
Winsor & Newton professional full imperial sheets are available in the UK, I don't think they have been discontinued. Jacksons sell them online and they ship to the US
Thanks for that info! I’m so glad they’re still available!
I loved this, Laurel! Thank you!!
Thank you Marjorie. I guess my daughter's advice was right.
much appreciated laurel
Thanks for commenting.
дякую Вам! Ви щира і чудова людина! щасти!
Thank you! Your comment is very much appreciated from so far away.
Дякую за відповідь! Пропоную затоваришувати на fecebook в мене там є сторінка... якщо ні... то зазирнути на мій сайт www.artvek.com.ua я теж трішки малює і пишу білі вірші... щасти! В Вас чудова майстерня! Я в захваті
Hi Laurel - wanted to mention one more thing ... if you ever run out of your W&N paper supply (God forbid it never happens) & you wish to try out something else - may I suggest you try out the Canson & Montval Cold pressed 300 gsm (140 lb) paper ... it also has a nice tooth & do not buckle much with water. I have found it to be excellent. And since I have a difficult name, I'll perfectly understand if you do not want to use it :))
Thank you for the suggestion. I will have to try this paper out.
멋져요! 작품도 좋아요!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks a lot for so many useful details. One specific question about your palette. Obviously this is a plastic palette but somehow your paints seem to move very smoothly in the mixing area without contraction and beading up. How do you process the surface to achieve that without creating problems with staining? Thanks!
Hi Ted. I think it kind of builds up the ability to resist beading after use for awhile. I just wipe it out with wet paper towel and I haven’t really had much problem with staining. I avoid Prussian Blue also!
Lovely video. Alizarin crimson is my favorite color but the lightfast issue bothers me.. does it fade in your works? You are so talented
Thank you! You have to buy Permanent Alizarin, available online a lot of brands.
Hello I am an artist who paints for pleasure and part of my enjoyment of doing art is ‘collecting art materials’. I am an art tool junkie 😊 I love collecting brushes, paints and professional watercolour paper and journals. I am in my element when I spend time looking at and materials in good art shops and looking at all the goodies in artists workshops. So, Big thank you for sharing this CZcams of your studio, loved it 🌹
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
You are so generous with your wonderful knowledge, Laurel! Thank you for sharing!! I do have one question. Would you explain the bounced lighting you receive from the umbrella in your studio? I have good lighting in certain places in my studio, but others are too dark. Thank you for any help you can offer.
Hi Kitty. The umbrella lighting is just used for filming. In my regular art studio I have LED track lighting and a regular art lamp.
Thank you so much, Laurel!!
Winsor & Newton 140lb watercolor paper can be found at Amazon, Jerry's Artarama and Dick Blick :)
Yes! It’s back-I’d like to think from my pleading!
Marvelous--tell your daughter she was right: not boring video at all.
Ha ha! I’ll tell her!
Thank you, Roberta! I thought people would like a video like this. I'm glad she made one!
If I could give you 6 stars out of 5 then I would! Thanks so much Laurel! You do not have a link to the ceiling mounted lightbulbs and fixture you are using in your studio. Could you share those, please?
Thx again for the wonderful video. You have a new subscriber now.
My son in law installed those for me and they are a combination of halogen lights and LED lights. Sorry I missed this comment!
Curry’s Art Supply in Canada sells this paper in packs of 10 at $8.99 a sheet.
Yay! Thanks!
Thank you, Laurel, for taking such care and time in explaining your art supplies. I have been learning to paint in watercolor for nearly 3 years and feel I am making progress, although I have gotten through a lot of paper (wasted)! Would you suggest for newbies such as myself, buying a less expensive paper to practice on? I tend to use the W & N Cotman range of paints as these are a little more affordable but occasionally I will treat myself to a Daniel Smith, just bought his Moonglow paint which is wonderful.
I only have part of my dining room to paint in, but it is sufficient as I tend to paint smaller pictures and make cards for family and friends. I do believe there is a website called something like, 'paint my picture' which has photos that people submit and you can paint them without fear of breaking copyright rules.
My gut feeling is that you are a wonderfully patient teacher - please move to the UK and my area!!
What a wonderfully kind comment! Thank you so much! I would love to move to the UK!! In regards to a cheaper paper, you won’t like my answer. I believe you will frustrate yourself with the student grade. The paint just doesn’t behave the same as it does on professional grade papers. Same for paints! So sorry! But if you have to use the student grade, keep going. It will make your advancement to the better supplies so much sweeter!
La carta per acquarello in cotone o cellulosa? Io non capisco la lingua inglese bene
The cotton or cellulose watercolor paper? I don't understand the English language well
Compliments! I love his works and especially the technique and the combination of colors
Thank you so much for watching!
So enjoyed your art studio, art supplies & painting videos. I do have.some watercolor brushes from brands which are quite nice. Basically Synthetics. Watching your video I decided I’m going to order some of the loew Cornell ultra rounds. I don’t know if you are aware but you cannot find a #8. I don’t know why. I hope they are not discontinuing. Are you aware of this & do you possibly have any information about them. Thanks
Hi Bonnie! Thanks for watching. I have actually just learned that Loew Cornell did discontinue the #8 round brush. I have no idea why, but I am very disappointed.
Enjoyed your video! Thanks for sharing. Do you always paint standing up?
Hi Flora. Thanks for asking this question. Actually I paint sitting down almost all the time. I forgot to explain that we had just moved my chair so we could show the set up and supplies better. In the video thumbnail, it shows me sitting.
Laurel Hart Thank you for your reply, Laurel.
Thank you!! I really wanted to know what you were using!! Your daughter was right, lol.
My daughter is usually much more right than me!
Laurel, Lowe Cornell brushes have been discontinued, do you have another favorite. brush ? Juston
Hi Juston. The new replacement for them are Kingart round brushes. They have a gold band instead of a red one. Available on Amazon.
i am a little confused this video was about on how to choose the best supplies or just to show what she has or use?
Actually both, I guess. I try to use the best supplies, so I am showing what I use.
Hello Laurel!Thank you very much for your wonderful and useful presentation. I use Winston&Newton Watercolour Kit which I purchased 25 years ago.I would like to learn about how you transfer the reference picture on the watercolor paper. Would you like to prepare a tutor video including the transfer of the reference picture?(Sorry for my English)
Love watching your videos. You are talking so naturally. Thank you and your daughter.Bye.
Thank you! We just finished filming a tutorial on how I transfer my reference photo to the paper. It will be up very soon! I hope it will be helpful!
Thank you.
You are welcome. I'm glad if it helped in some way.
That was great. I’m glad you don’t eat paint 😋😉😊
Thanks for watching Rachel!
Have you found replacement equivalents for Loew-Cornell brushes? I love the few I have , but the company stopped making them. Thanks!
Yes! Kingart brushes! Available on Amazon!
Thank you Laurel, for this video really interesting, I am an art tutor myself, and some tips were great to learn; but can I ask you darling not to have your mobile phone that too close to your body, love air and colours in your work, much love
Thanks, Lily. I will be more careful regarding my phone.
Thank you for sharing such a personal place, It is an interesting and moreover useful video; I found it very warm and inspiring. Definitely not boring!
You can buy W&N cold pressed 140lb sheets from Jacksonsart.com a UK based company, they will export.
Thanks again.
Barry! I am so happy to hear I can still find my favorite paper! You are my new best friend! Thank you for taking the time to send this link! I am going to name one of my sons after you--oh wait--I already have--my second son is named Barry!
I just ordered my paper. Can't wait for it to come!
Laurel Hart I’m so pleased that Jacksons have been able to supply you, they are a nice family business. Please, can you let me know when you receive your paper?
Also, I suspect you enjoy looking at artists materials, you may have looked at them but take a look at these handmade brushes by Rosemary,go to www.rosemaryandco.com
Looking forward to seeing some more of your wonderful paintings. Regards Barry (nearly second son)!
+Barry Probert My paper came today! That was awfully fast for being shipped from the UK to the US! I saw a note that said “low inventory,” so I think I’m going to order more. And now that we’ve let the cat out of the bag in these comments, I better hurry! Thanks, almost second son. And I will check out the Rosemary brushes. I know they make great oil brushes, but I didn’t know they made watercolor brushes.
Laurel Hart . I’m so pleased it all arrived safely and it’s the paper you like! I’m confident that Jacksons will have another batch in shortly. Rosemary’s brushes are awesome! Barry
You can find W&N sheets on dickblick.com. www.dickblick.com/products/winsor-newton-professional-watercolor-paper/
Thank you! Since filming this, I have found it in other places as well.
You can still buy the Winsor & Newton paper 140lb cold pressed sheets in England. This is where I buy it www.artsupplies.co.uk/item-winsor-&-newton-professional-watercolour-paper.htm
I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to show us.
I remember thinking I'll start watercolour because I assumed it would be the cheapest painting medium - nope, probably nothing artistic you can do that will cost more money!
Please don’t leave your cell phone up against your abdomen like that. The magnetic field can hurt your vital organs.
Enjoyed the video and the space ❤
Thank you! Others, have also warned me of this and I don’t do it any more! I appreciate the warning!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
@9:58 no rules in art
Small request not to keep your phone so close to your body ..Very dangerous radiations must be entering your body. Art is beautiful. I am learning from you. Feel like developing such a beautiful studio. like you.
Thank you for this comment. I just acquired some blue tooth earbuds so I don’t have to be so close to my phone. I wasn’t aware that it’s so dangerous.
@@laurelhart2183 I am a doctor. I love the art of painting. But in every aspect I look at the health of the people. Mobile radiations are harmful many articles are published.
Thank you for your information and concern. What is a safe distance to be from your phone? I sleep with mine by me on a night stand. Is that too close?
@@laurelhart2183 Ideal is to on Airplane mode to cut off radiations. Do not talk for longer time. Keep on changing the sides of hearing. Do not use when network is weak. Always keep it away at around distance more than 2 feet when not in use. No phone to kids. Affects brain cells n eyes.
Sai Nemade thank you so much!
Totally disagree with student vs professional paints for beginners. In my experience Windsor and Newton Student grade paints behave the same way as their professional grade... they're not as pigmented, but that just means use more paint in the same amount of water. The only real difference I've found is student grade aren't as light-fast, which isn't a huge issue when you're learning. Given that professional grade paints cost at least 3 times as much as student grade...I think it's a waste of money when you're starting out.
My experience had been very frustrating with them. To me it’s worth the extra money to get the extra pigment power.
Thank you Laurel for your time and such a helpful video. You inspired me to keep playing with my watercolors. I noticed your cellphone in your apron from the minute I started watching and wanted to ask you to please stop wearing it so close to your body. You are getting a steady dose of radiation straight to your heart and breast.
Thank you for watching and for the advice! I will be more careful where I keep my cell phone from now on.
