@@ArtySubu I find it hard to resist when I see all of the paints , pencil, markers etc all stacked in their beautiful colours…and I live in Asia so there are some products that I often see used or mentioned that I can’t easily get. You were very restrained…I was impressed .
I've never managed to make the long trek to the physical Jackson’s store, thank you for taking us on a tour! I've only recently bought the QoR 12 half pan palette and the colours are super vibrant and go a very long way with the tiniest dab of the brush.
You're welcome! I shop online mostly too and now am tempted to go to the main Jackson's store too though it's very far from me! 💛 Good to know the QoR is good. How's the lightfast-ness?
Yay!! At last a British art store video!! so so happy to have found you. Live in Devon, but have family in Surrey which is easily within reach of Fulham, so will be planning a visit next year!! Thank you soo much. xx
That's like heaven ❤ i wish our art stores had that much variety. And you can actually check the sketchbooks out! Ours always have them packed in plastic 🙄
It's really my happy place! 💛 Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍🏼 Some stores here do have them wrapped up, especially the expensive Arches ones. I might try and film at more stores if I can get permission.
We don’t have a Jackson’s physical store in Victoria Australia I’d give anything to go through one. QoR watercolours, are what I call dancing pigments. You only need a little bit wet your paper and drop in some colour and it simply explodes and does it’s own thing. If you like to really control your pigment and you don’t like movement this is definitely not for you. However, if you’re like me and you love the Watercolour to do its thing and have a mind of its own. This is the most spectacular thing to watch. They have their own patterns medium that they use as a flow agent for their paints. I have never come across another Watercolor that moves like it, however in Australia it is extremely expensive. My understanding is that the light fastness is extremely high. They are owned and made by the golden brand
Do you have an equivalent store near you or do you order online from Jackson's? Good to know those details about QoR. Might try them sometime! They sound brilliant for sketchbook play!
@jessbutterfly9801 A lot of the Rosa Gallery watercolors move in water like QoR. I have the split primary set of QoR and some Rosas. Maybe you could get Rosa where you are more cost effectively, I’ve found them on Amazon and on Etsy.
Thanks for the information @styleandbeautydirect ... I've got Cotman watercolours already and barely use them, so no Qor or Rosa for me anytime soon :D
I hate when I buy pads people have rubbed their fingers on like that. I’ve tried to watercolor on an unwrapped WC pad that someone had put their skin oil on and there were fingerprint sized blobs that resisted water. At ~ $2/sheet especially. I wish there were touchable samples of papers so we could test them and get a feel for their qualities without affecting something someone else might end up buying.
Ooh, never thought of that! The more expensive pads always have one sample out and the rest shrink-wrapped... But I guess you could pick one from the bottom of the pile to buy! 💛
@@ArtySubu the paper, probably the same pads you got plus a stillman & Bern sketchbook, just to try it. Mind you, it would be a hard choice because that place is packed lol!
@@CherylsCreativeWorld33 I was SOOOOO tempted by the Stilman and Birn! But they are pricey and so I put them back! Already have a stash of empty sketchbooks too including Odd Orange ones.
Nice to see inside the store, thanks for the tour! It's the other end of London to me too, so I've only shopped online with them. I feel a day out is needed to go down there in the new year, after payday!
Wow, I didn’t realise I was so close to this when I’ve been to my chiropractor a few tube stops away, that’s funny. What a trove of colourful things on so many shelves, it’s such a maze. The 14B pencil is interesting, I’ll look that up.
Ooh, will you pop by the next time you go to your chiropractor? That'd be a treat wouldn't it! 14B has become my favourite sketching pencil since it doesn't have a shine! 💛
Nice to see Jackson's. I just received my first order from them about a week ago. I bought A range of their store brand watercolor tubes. Have you tried Shinhan gouache yet? They're nice and not very expensive. Shinhan is from South Korea. Qor watercolors are made by Golden in New York, USA. Excellent paints! Very vibrant and the colors really like to move! Usually they are pricey as most Golden products are no matter what the medium. Happy creating with all your new art supplies! :)
Oh awesome! I haven't tried Shinhan, too much in love with Schmincke Horadam at the moment!! 😂 You're the second person to comment about QoR, feel like I must try them soon! 💛 Thanks!
I went here myself only about a month ago just to poke around, but it’s so fun watching others window shop too! I believe I also saw schminke gouache in L. Cornelissen & Son near tottenham court road! A very pretty and old art shop if you’re ever in that area
Enjoyed video found it interesting and informative and helpful, i didnt know graphtint sold it pencils in singles thats really good to know..sending season bkessings of kindness, happiness compassion and creative ideas for all thru out art community ..💛🇬🇧✍👩🎨🎨💛🇨🇦🇺🇲💛☃️❄
I'm doing the low-buy again next year 👀 so... We'll see how that goes! Also got a few other drawing-related resolutions like finishing all the classes I bought last year! 😂
Very interesting "adventure'! I always order my art supplies from Jackson (too far to go to their physical shop!) so thank you for showing it in this video! 🥰💜
This looks like an art store in Boston, MA!! Unfortunately they’re closed now, but watching you go through this store brought back some good memories for me!! 😅😊
@@ArtySubu they moved to a different location that’s further out from where I am, so it’s not as accessible to me anymore. They were also very close to a Dick Blick store and so I think the competition between them ate up their customers. Thanks for replying! Hope you have a nice day/night!!
@@ArtySubu I’m in upstate New York, the closest big one near me is probably Blick Art in Connecticut. It’s been a long time since I’ve been there though! You’re doing great! We appreciate you sharing your wonderful videos with us, however long they take you to finish 🙂
Blick, Michaels and Dharma Trading are all US shops I'd LOVE to spend time in! Glad you're enjoying my videos! a new one is coming this weekend, with a little luck! 🤣
Why oh why, are art supplies so hard to resist! Thank you for the tour, lovely cozy place there. I have to mention you have so cute tiny hands, the pencils look so huge 😂 I have to ask you the matt pencil, was it Pitt or Pritt? The video was not close enough to the pencil to read
Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matte pencil in 14B. It's really great. I do indeed have small hands, because I am short at only 5' ... You're not wrong about that! 🤣👍🏼

Ooh, thanks for that tip! I was wondering whether they would work with water like the graphitint paints!! Off to try that now. Also, glad you enjoyed the shop tour! I try to make my videos interesting to watch 💛
I just went to an art store WANTING to buy something even though I should be on an art supply diet, and I wish it had been as well stocked as this. Or maybe it’s good that it wasn’t. 🥲
Eep! I can definitely empathise! Wanted alllll the things but resisted. Having to lug home my heavy books did put a limit on how much I could buy too, guess that was a god thing! 😂💛
you're a braver person than me. I would have been taking a loan out if I stepped foot in there 😂
Haha! I could only carry a little because I was lugging my massive books along that I went to pick up. They weighed a ton!
😂😂…I thought the same thing.

Oh my gosh I love your dog character, they look like Karvanista from Doctor Who 🥰🥰🥰 My Karvanista drawings were on television
Oh yes! I hadn't thought about that in ages! Good comparison 😂👍🏼
Wow a lot of beautiful stuff at the store.
There really was! And enough choice no matter what your medium 💛👍🏼
Yay!! At last a British art store video!! so so happy to have found you. Live in Devon, but have family in Surrey which is easily within reach of Fulham, so will be planning a visit next year!! Thank you soo much. xx
Ooh so glad it was useful!!! Let me know what you buy when you go!!! Have you got a wishlist? 👀
Loved coming shopping with you, Arati!

This was a real joy to join you in there!!! Thank you!

@@ArtySubu OmerDeserres, a local art supply store with a few locations. I try to be disciplined when going in there... Doesn't always work 😂
Hahaha! Waaaay too tempting, hey?! Any wishlist items right now?
QoR is my happy place! They flow excessively and bully other paints out of the way...I love them and use them to create unpredictable abstracts.
Ooh, good to know! Thanks for sharing!!! 💛
Props to say you know you won't use something so you won't get it. Very few artists have that kind of restraint
Thank you! I was VERY tempted though!! 😂

Great video! I have Qor watercolors and they move very easily and nicely Thanks for sharing ❤

Hi, new to your channel. I would love to look around Jackson’s but l spend too much online already. ❤
Thanks for watching! 💛 This year I've made a conscious effort to buy less and actually use what I have - which is quite a lot 😂👀
👋🇨🇦 DELISH! The closest hands on shopping here is 8hrs away. 😔 This yummy cubby would be the ultimate! Thanks for taking us along. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed it! 8 hours is super far! Do you venture there occasionally, do a bunch of shopping? 💛
Unfortunately, the trip is too far, and costly. I therefore have to shop online.
Aaw that's sad. Do you manage to get everything you need online?
Unfortunately no … not all online suppliers ship everywhere. 😂 Got handy to mix ‘n match and finding substitutes.
I guess that's true here too. Jackson's covers the majority of my needs but sometimes there are exclusives at Cass Art or elsewhere that I do pick up.
I just went to an art store WANTING to buy something even though I should be on an art supply diet, and I wish it had been as well stocked as this. Or maybe it’s good that it wasn’t. 🥲
