That dusk pink has quite the siren song! Trying to resist!
It's a beautiful one!
You make the BEST swatching videos!!! Please don't ever change!! Lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing❤
Oh thank you!
Happy holidays Miranda! Fun watching you swatch your WC; the VanGogh Dusk paints rocked!! ☯️✨💜
Looks like you're going to have a very Happy New Year with all those goodies to play with.
Always a good day when you can play with art supplies. 🎨 Hope you are hanging in there. Hugs. ❤️
thank you for sharing .
Thanks for watching!
Great haul video. Happy Christmas 🎄
Thank you! You too!
It took me a long time to watch your videos. I will be catching up soon. Pretty interesting paints by the way. My Christmas went well.
Happy Christmas Miranda! What fun new supplies. I have the dusk colors on my wish list. Interesting containers that the beam paints come in. Look forward to seeing more play time with your new stuff.
Such an awesome video ❤ ❤ I love that we see potential art supplies out of everything 😂 what wonderful gifts! Xx
Right?!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ❤❤❤
Same to you! ❤️
If anyone buys those sargento balanced breaks cheese/ fruit snacks- they are shaped like peace signs. I use them for painting all the time- esp gouache and acrylic that I don't want touching my good palettes.
Good idea!
what fun haul! 🎉❤
Thank you! 🤗
Nick and I found a couple of Kaweco fountain pens in those lovely tins at TKMaxx, and now I want to find mine and turn it into a watercolour tin! Delightful art supplies; that printed Kuretake palette is so awesome.....Want Monster has emerged for that! 😂 I haven't eaten Nerds in years, haha. I hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas, and that you have a Happy Birthday too! ❤🎄🎂
It's a fun thing to do with the Kaweko tin! Thank you, Becky; Merry Christmas!
The only MaimeriBlu paint I have is the Payne's Grey, which I got because it's single pigment and granulating and I was really into Payne's Grey at the time! I see your set has it too! The Jacksons watercolors are made by Sennelier :) The indigo looks like phthalo turquoise!
Thanks Miranda, I just ordered those four VG dusk colors; gorgeous! I ordered Beam earlier this year when I was trying out different hand made paint vs. more popular brands,sadly not a fan either. Now they are just sitting going unused. Maybe I will find someone to eventually pass them onto; I have a nephew who is just starting his WC journey.
Ah, bummer about the Beam paints. But I'm glad you liked the Van Gogh enough to order some - they are beautiful. ❤️
Quick note.
You can use a glue gun to make dividers in the candy round.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Love the horses.
Thank you! Good reminder about the glue gun. ❤️
You definitely have to prewet all the Beam paints, it's worth it! ❤
Okay!
Have you tried Stoneground Paints? The best of Canadian brands IMO! 🥰
I have one from an art subscription box that I need to try. But only one, darn it 🙄 I would love to try more. Some day!
Yeah!! They’re fantastic ‼️
Feliz Navidad Miranda!!! Now on to the goodies!
Feliz Navidad!
Lovely gifts/sets Miranda. I love MaimeriBlue, I actually got 2 sets of them from MC Art Supplies this past summer plus a half pan from Jacksons. I love the vibrant and strong effect of these watercolors they are as strong as DS but the tubes are much larger which I love!
Nice
So excited to see you try beam paints! I have some beam paint dot cards but I haven’t tried them yet. I decided to make them a stocking gift to myself so I’m making myself wait until Christmas 😊. Since I live in Ontario I am so pleased to have a good paint that is made here.
Great idea for the stocking gift!
The Beam tin idea is really cute, the pen you can get a converter for waterproof ink, but I think the Van Gogh are the star paints in this round. Lovely haul.
omg this set!!!!!! I just got some beampaints I bought last night that I love!
Oh nice! Which colors did you get?
I bought the Grey Ultra, beach rose, and the wintry night metallic colors (dreamers gold, shell, glacial rivers, wet grizzly). They are great!@@MirandaWatsonArt
@tisaloewen7051 nice!
Thank you Miranda. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Lovely paints! I know you will create some beautiful art with them.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Wow that Dusk Violet is beautiful 🦋💕Gave a very Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year💕🦋
Thank you, you too! 😊
Hi, Miranda! What a lovely set of Happy Mail! Choosing a favourite? 🤔Difficult!
I loved the Jackson's Magenta when you painted it, but when dry ( 39:06 ) it looks rather dull, but like you, love the Naples Yellow. When you did the Phthalo Blue, I immediately thought, "No, that's a Cobalt blue" and a second later, you said the same thing! 😄
I thought the Beam's paints were very disappointing, except for the PG17
I'm going to have to be really strict about my replacement-only no-buy in 2024, as over the course of this year, I've needed to replace a lot of my watercolour pencils, and some of my paints and Faber Castell fineliners. Did you see Vee's video on her 2024 no-buy? It's very good, and I've downloaded her PDF's!
Oops! I should be in bed! But first, just to say, have🎂🎄
Yes, I saw her video and I'm also going to download her files. She's wonderful. ❤️
@@MirandaWatsonArt "She's wonderful."
Yes! 100% agree! 😊
So many goodies, thank you for the swatching session! Happy Holidays to you and your family Miranda 🌲🎆
Same to you! Thank you! 😊
I hope hope hope you make a beam paints review. They’re hard to come by on CZcams.
I will definitely be doing that!
Do the Jackson's Art paint remind you of Sennelier watercolour?
I'm not sure yet; I'll do a direct comparison in the near future!
🤷🏻♂️ Usually Bean paints are VERY high tinting.
They really surprised me this time! Their low tint was not normal.
- Have you contacted their company?
(Maybe something went wrong with this specific batch.)
Oh wow, okay. I brought them with me to test again so I'll make sure before inquiring further. Thank you for the heads-up!
Hello! I have watched so many different videos. I need some recommendations on my first professional water colors. I am ready to transition. What are some recommendation?
Hello! What are you transitioning from? That'll give me a basis to start with before I answer.
Hi! I am using daler rowny aquafine and grabie.
Hi! Using aquafine daler rowny and grabie. Thank you!
@@MirandaWatsonArt Hello, I am using Daler Rowney aquafine. Also, Grabie. Thank you so much for helping.
@@craigcastagnoli2447 depending on your budget, the Rosa Gallery are great because you can get a large set for not a lot of money. They are sticky paints, though, so you need to live in a drier climate if you purchase these. Daniel Smith has some lovely starter sets and their paints tend to try quite hard, so that would be good if you live in a humid climate. I personally love QoR and Roman Szmal as well. Schminke are not my favorite. Michael Harding are strongly pigmented, so they would last you a long time most likely. I haven't fully tested mine enough to know more than that. There are so many great options out there. Maybe give me an idea of what features you're looking for specifically in a brand? You're going to have so much fun!
