Before purchasing the beautiful, yet possibly fugitive watercolors from Supervision...please check out these videos. I highly recommend watching!

If you have a dollar tree near you, they sell cutting boards (set of 2) for $1.25. They're essentially the same (one side is smooth the other is textured) and you can cut them down to size as well. I just picked up 2 sets )total) so I can put them in my various bags/palettes/journals. I use them for neocolor, intense, and even my soft pastels.
I'm sure we do have a Dollar Tree nearby. I can't wait to find them. I wanted to put them in all of my water soluble tins, but never thought of using them with soft pastels. Thanks so much for the tips!!!
I do the same thing. They're very versatile and if I end up cutting through it it's fine and I can use it for something else. Another use I have for these cutting boards is for neo 2's basically use them like their specific pallette. I just couldn't pay the price of their pallette that's a chunk of plastic. Anyway that's just my opinion. Have a great night
Thanks, Danielle! I'm going to try to find some and try it. Yes, I waited way too long to try it because of the same reason...but the good news is it never gets lost. Thanks, it's very helpful and will benefit others reading your comment. ;D
Exactly what I was going to recommend. I use them for face paint practice. The slight texture is perfect.
You might glue a rubber cushion to the bottom to try to negate the wobble. Just a thought.
I really enjoy favorite and regret videos. However, weirdly the regret part can get some people riled up. I think itâs a touchy subject and some people canât cope with the supplies they use being on someone elseâs âregretâ list, but the regret list IS my favorite part of the video even if my art supplies are on the regret list, I can take it! đ€Łđđ„ł
Thank you! Yes, I hope people hear me when I say these are just my personal preferences. It's totally ok that we all like different things! I'm just trying my best to possibly save people money, as it's hard to find things when you can't try them first. You should enjoy your supplies, even if I didn't like it. I can be picky, and I want things to be worth the money I spent. đ

IKEA sells a 2 pack of cutting mats that are textured side that you can cut down I bought 2 packs, and have them with all my travel stuff and home neocolor inktense etc and water soluble materials
A lot of watercolor artists do prefer finely ground pigments in their pallets. It all depends on the type of artist you are as we are all different. Looks like a really good set of paints in the 18 set also love the little fome one as well they are great colors as you could mix just about anything with them out in the field. Thanks for giving us all a looky loo. :)
Thank you! Yes, I enjoy finely ground pigments myself. I think that is why I enjoy Schmincke watercolors so much. I always enjoy new products, and learning from other artists. Yes, I added a few extra colors for convenience. The original colors were great mixing colors. Thank you!!
Her palettes are so beautiful, they make painting even more fun Iâm sure - I love the strawberry pan and the little 12 pan is so cute. Love this tutorial so glad you put the cottmans in your 12 pan and went through your choice of colors so helpful. Thank please enter me in your draw. I have had subscriptions to both your pages for quite some time tks
Thank you for the sweet comment. I don't remember using cotman paints in this video, and this video did not have a giveaway...all of my giveaway videos are closed now. Thank you for being a subscriber!
I saw this video and now I'm binge watching all your monthly buys and regrets. I absolutely love these videos!! đ
Thanks, Lisanne! Glad you like them! I hope you find them helpful.
You can get the plastic with a bit of "tooth" to it in the quilting area of hobby lobby or Joann fabrics. It's called template plastic and there are several styles and thicknesses.
Thank you! I will look for that to compare to the cutting mat recommended by others.
I agree with you about the Derwent Chromacolor pencils. I was listening to you while working on some projects because I love your soothing voice and appreciate your enthusiasm and competence. I thought to myself, I wonder if she is referring to these pencils as I missed the part where you identified them. Yep, sure enough, same ones. I bought mine from Amazon so got a refund so I wasnât out any money. I like my other offerings from this company and am currently using an older set of 72 Artists that have Rexel Cumberland on the front with a pastoral scene with stone bridge.
Thanks, Judy! Aw, thank you!!! I'm sorry they didn't work out for you either. I'm glad you were able to return them. I love almost everything else Derwent makes, so I was super surprised. Thanks for the comment, and letting me know it wasn't just me. ;D
Thank You Stephanie for all the Love and effort and time you put into making your art videos!! Your legions of fans are loyal and forever here waiting on them when they arrive to see what amazing treasures you have to share details about!! đđđŒđ Blessings to you and yours always sweet Crafty Friend đ„°đ
Thank you so much, Andrea! I really appreciate the comment! It's what I needed to read today, as there is not enough of me to go around lately. My husband is away on business, and I'm getting overwhelmed trying to keep everyone happy. ;D More coming soon, as soon as I can edit! Thanks so much for the love, my sweet friend!!
I love these videos, especially your bravery in putting out there knowing it can sometimes attract the troll comments. They are invaluable for those of us deciding what to get! That Neocolor summer palette is so stinkin cute. Your box you sent was over the top wonderful and I just want to say thank you again!!
Thank you!! Just trying to save people some money, if I can. But, I love Derwent so the last regret was hard. Oh, I'm so happy you like it!! It was so fun to put together for you!
Catching up on your videos! This is so insightful and really helps us viewers to appreciate each and every art products you review!đč Really appreciate the time you spend in putting these together. Like my dad used to say "Sharing valuable information never goes out of style!" đ„°đ
Thank you!! You are so very welcome! I'm trying to make helpful videos, so thanks so much for the comment.
Hi Stephanie, you can buy those sheets of plastic on amazon or ebay, they are used for glass painting I think they are by gallery glass. They are used for the peel off glass paints I've used them a lot in the past, they are texured on one side, if you Google gallery glass they will come up somewhere. I've just looked and it's called leading sheets
Thanks so much, Sue!!
What a fun video! I have to say, I love shopping Jackson's in London. I make a large order about twice a year. Order on Tuesday, pick the DHL delivery, and get my order on Thursday. Cheaper and faster shipping than any other art store.
How lucky that you can shop at Jacksonâs in London. Iâve ordered one time from Jacksonâs so far and even though I live in the U.S., the shipping is super reasonable and gets here within like 10 days or so? I have only been to London one time over 20 years ago and I wasnât doing much art then. I would think the Jacksonâs in London must be a huge store? If I ever get to visit in the UK again and get to London, Iâll be sure to make visiting there and picking up a bunch of art supply goodies a priority.
@@nancyloomis3046 actually, I think the store itself is a bit of a hole in the wall. Cass art is the place to go in London....from what I hear. I'm anxious to go find out for myself.
I love in central Oklahoma, BTW, and still get two day delivery. DHL knows how to get it done.
Thank you, Violetta! Yes, I agree completely. Plus they offer beautiful supplies that I often can't find here in the USA. I also love their sample offerings and that they package everything so very nicely.
@@nancyloomis3046 If you order again, please do not use the FedEx option, even though you may save a few dollars. That was the only time I've had an issue with Jackson's (not their fault), it was a nightmare. I dream of shopping at Jackson's in person one day too!
@@violettahaven3706 Really? I would still love to visit, I picture them using antiques to store everything. I would definitely love to visit Cass art as well! I agree, and I use DHL if I place a large order, but try to use the tracked shipping most of the time. :)
For your colio palette try putting foam tape on the bottom along the edge near the hinge and see if that fixes it. Also try a piece of foam tape on top of cover near the closure. It's out of balance when the lid is open
Thanks for the tip! I'm sure I will find a way but I won't be buying anymore.
Thanks for that. I look forward to you reviewing them!
Your welcome!
I really enjoy these videos. Great fun. Art supplies are my sweeties đ. Like you I have a thing about the limited/special edition palettes, especially Schmincke! That baby bijou Schmincke palette is super cute. I have a vintage one the same from Winsor & Newton. Iâve never used it and it still has the unopened paints in it I bought 20 years ago! đ Too precious maybe! Im scared to lose mine too!
Thank you!! So true! I really love hearing I'm not the only one who collects and uses them! Yes, I love the Schmincke travel palette! It's just so beautiful and I also enjoy being forced to use a limited palette. Oh, I bet the vintage Winsor & Newton palette is gorgeous! I have some old W&N watercolor tubes from my grandma that I need to try someday. I felt the same way...that's is why they are in my garage somewhere?!? Lol
Than you so much for talking about the seascape palette. It was the tin that intrigued me and now I know to stay away.
You are welcome, Emma. So glad it helped you decide.
yay.. can't wait to see
Thanks, Marie!
I loved the video. Delft Blue is probably my favorite blue color. Those super vision watercolors look amazing and so expensive! Jeeeeezzzz. đł Your art works đ are beautiful đ€© thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much! đ I agree, I forgot to mention it but that is one of my favorite blues from Schmincke. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your comment!
Excuse my long-winded comment here. đ€ I have become very fond of Schmincke too. I ordered my first Schmincke set last year (and the only half pan set so far,)a Special Edition set of 12 half pans in the typical metal tin that came with an apron, sponge, plastic coffee cup w/cover , travel brush and brush cleaner in a nice box that looked like a wrapped half-pan for $) Iâve never spent that much on one set of wc. This was kind of an early Christmas gift. By the packaging, which had pretty blots of vivid watery pinks, violets and purplesâŠthatâs what I thought I was gettingâŠa bunch of beautiful pinks, purples and violets, (the big âhalf panâ box it came in even said âquinacridone magentaâ on it,) but I didnât bother to carefully read the paint colors it included (silly me.) So I was sorta disappointed at first after I got it and thought about returning it. I then thought, what the heckâŠlet me try this set out, so I did and I love it now. Colors are: 215-lemon yellow, 217-quinacridone gold hue, 341-geranium red, 353-permanent carmine, 371-perylene violet, 782-neutral tint, 495-ultramarine violet, 494-ultramarine finest, 484-phthalo blue, 524-may green, 78-perylene green. I have also since ordered 2 of sample 1/4 pan paint sets of their super-granulating Forest & Deep Sea. I love them and will likely just order the tubes of the ones I like the most. Schmincke just seems to cater wonderfully to the needs/wants of their customers, and letâs face it, their marketing is very smart. I have other premium brand faves too, but Iâm leaning more & more towards making Schmincke as my number 1.
Thanks, Nancy! No such thing here, I love discussing art supplies. Oh, I know that beautiful set...Lucky you!! I've tried talking myself into it, but I have all the colors already. I would still love to have it one day if I found a really good price! đ They are good mixing colors, I'm glad you kept an open mind to try them. That's a great plan, and more economical to buy tubes than half pans. The Super Granulation colors are a lot of fun, and I really do love them. They have also encouraged me to play with mixes I never thought of, and try more neutrals. You would love the dot card!! Yes, they sure do have a smart marketing team and have me hooked. Yes I love lots of brands, as well. Schmincke keeps out shining the others to me too, so far. But, I'm always open to a new watercolor sweeping me off my feet...maybe A Gallo?! đ
It' the Schmincke bijou box đ ...so cool!
Thank you!! Isn't it beautiful! Thanks, I love it!
â€đ I do love the Caran dâAche palette. Your wonderful discovery and repurpose of the protective plastic in the dot folder! I found that one of my plastic cutting mats have the same finish as the Caran dâAche palette. So when shopping and see plastic cutting Mattâs, I always check the finish. The little small pan of Neocolorâs is great, especially since these are your favorite colors. Having them as âextrasâ keeps them from being too precious to use freely. You can change out the colors to create a different palette to take with you.
Thank you for your video and your commentary. I live in the middle of Tennessee 100 miles in all directions from a good art store and 200 miles from Blickâs. The art hauls and testing of the supplies are very important! đïžđšđđŒ Fran
Thank you!! Yes, I've heard from lots of people that use plastic cutting mats. Such a great idea! So glad you enjoyed the video! I don't have an art store near by, or art friends in real life...so I love the art community on CZcams! đ
Iâm retired and I love finding like minded people to shar
Iâm in the same boat as you and CZcams community has been a huge blessing. Iâm so glad I found your video, Iâll be watching you for now on!đđ©đŒâđšđ©đ»âđš
Yes, CZcams has a great art community! Most people are very nice! I discovered art late in life, and it has been exactly what I needed as my children are almost grown now. I'm so glad to have you join me!
Mica watercolors are so pretty.
Thanks, Julia! They really are, luckily you can use really affordable mica to mix your own. ;)
Oh yeah! I definitely like full pans! I also use the empty metal Holbein (knockoff) palette because it doesnât damage brushes either.
Iâd thought Iâd ordered Holbein (they said it was!) but I have bought about 5 of them and given one to another crafty friend.
If I have an extra Iâll send you one if you want to try it. Just let me know!! Itâs the least I can do for you. You have blessed my life and lifted my spirits so many times in past couple yearsâŠ
Again, thank you,
Nancy Rolfe
Thanks, Nancy! Yes, the pans feel so nice with the brushes. Especially when I use my size 10 brush. Oh no, was it on Amazon? That is so nice of you, I really appreciate it. Did you order on Amazon? I'm trying to find out how often people are ordering products and getting fakes on Amazon. You really did enough just by leaving a comment!
The description on Amazon for those Super Vision paints says they're lightfast. Not sure how reliable that is. But, I really like the colors and am thinking of ordering them
Yes, that's the problem and why I wanted to warn people they are beautiful but maybe just for fun. I still want the Flower Fire set.đ I'm hoping someone shares lightfast info that they are ok!
I think I need those Arrtx acrylic paint markers, TFS!
Thanks! I hope you like them as much as I do. ;D
I thoroughly enjoyed this video, it was entertaining, informative, and now I added a few things to my cart that I need to have. About the Chromaflow pencils, they are a student grade, unlike the other artist grade pencils you have. It was also supposed to give the European market a Prismacolor alternative as they are very expensive and difficult to find there. They released it in the American market first, perhaps to see if they would be seen as comparable. However, I do agree they are very overpriced for what they are but, I do enjoy the pigmentation and the softness of the pencil. The wood is not that good as I expected because it is the cheaper line of Derwent products, but I had no problems with the wood splitting or chipping though. I am so pleased to have found your channel.
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed! Yes, that's the problem...they seem student grade with an artist grade price. I have tried all the pencils from Derwent, and this is the first time I was disappointed. I hope it does give my European friends a good alternative though. I was not aware until recently that Prismacolors were so expensive in Europe. I'm glad to hear you didn't have problems with your pencils, and I hope you enjoy them! I agree, that is what I did enjoy about them as well. Thank you, welcome to the channel!
Years ago, I bought a set of 25 Pendaflex Poly file folders. Discovered a few months ago that they work just like the frosted piece you got with the dot cards. Obviously, buying the file folders wouldn't be cost effective but if by any chance you know someone who has them, ask for one. I use pieces of them everywhere. In some small handmade travel palettes and in some Neocolor tins, I've backed the pieces with white duck tape.
Thank you for your review and information.
Thank you, Eileen! Thanks for the tips for others, in case they have the file folders. Shilpa J had a great idea of using cutting boards available at the Dollar Tree. They can be cut down and are super cheap. Thanks so much for your tip!
Yahoo!! I donât know how I missed this one?? Yes, I do! Weâve bought a house and having some updates and remodeling done. Ugggg
Iâm going to have to order the pink pouch!! I absolutely love these videos and really appreciate your taking the time to go thru everything. Itâs saved me money đ° and I definitely appreciate you!!
Donât worry. The colieros would bother me too. I like everything in order, straight and a good quality on majority of items.
Iâd rather just buy one item that is very nice than several less expensive items if they wonât last and look /feel cheap. Itâs one reason I enjoy your hauls and reviews!!!
You are doing some very nice paintings and I appreciate your sharing with us.
I love the little Fome palette! Iâve been looking at a larger one.
Can you really tell a difference??? Iâm with you on just wanting these limited palettes!! I think Schminke knows several of us collect paintsâŠ.lol. I hate to miss one because they are so expensive on EBay afterwards.
I have noticed an increase in prices for some art supplies.
I donât understand how ANYONE feels comfortable telling you where you should spend YOUR money??? Had to laugh when you mentioned AmazonâŠlol. You are right âŠthereâs so many items from China!!!
Have you seen the handmade brass palletes?? Iâm dying to get it!! Iâm really not a good artist but I love art supplies!
I believe itâs âJared Drawsâ and Brian Ashmore who I watched. One of them made one too!!
Sorry I am just ramblingâŠ.
Thank you
Nancy Rolfe
Hi Nancy! Congratulations on your new home and that is great you are getting it updated. We need to do updating, but I'm too afraid of the mess...so I'm putting it off.
Be careful on the pouch, many are over charging. I think I paid $28-38, I hope I said in the video. I love it and will get more colors someday, maybe the blue one next. ;D
Thank you!! I'm so glad to know my videos are helpful. Yes, I'm the same way! I would much rather save up for quality items. I don't mind budget paints, but I want things to be worth the money and not end up in a landfill.
The Fome palette is really nice...if it was larger a may like it even more. Lol But, I wouldn't over pay for it. Yes, I love the limited sets!!! I'm excited for Black Friday hoping for a pretty colored tin that they have done in the past. YOU are my people for sure...I still look for the green and burgundy tin I missed. I won't pay too much though. Make sure you check Amazon Germany before you bid too much! ;D
I'm afraid to look at the brass palette...I have so many wooden boxes etc that I love and I do love all my art supplies. So I'm telling myself that I don't need it. Lol Yeah, people can be vile...that is why comments like yours really are so nice to read! Thank you!!!
Stephanie, I am binge watching your videos on the buys that you love and your regrets. I am in love with that Delfonics pouch that you have and was able to find it in mustard (very cute) for $32.99 free shipping from Amazon.
I am also in love with so many of those little pallets of paints that you found. Sorry to say that on my limited budget (elderly social security) there are not too many that I can afford đą.
Thanks ever so much for sharing all of your opinions. I find your videos very enjoyable and am loving all of them. You are such a joy!! I am all about getting a sale too and just love to show all of my crazy purchases to my roommate/best friend. Surely I drive her crazy at times đ
Love your videos and your artwork is beautiful!! đ©âđŠłđïž
Thanks so much, Deborah! I hope you find them helpful. Just remember we all like different things, and that's ok! Oh, I hope you love the Delphonics pouch as much as I do!! I'm glad you found a good price, and didn't overpay. Trying so many brands and colors is completely unnecessary...it's just incredibly fun to me. I use credit card rewards and sell things that no longer bring me joy to splurge, so I hope you can treat yourself too! Haha, sharing on CZcams with people who get it is so fun for me. My husband and kids feel the same as your roommate. ;D Thank you so much for the sweet comment! Comments like yours are why I keep sharing! đ
Enjoyed your video, thanks. I've just bought and opened the Cesk Ferre limited edition tin after seeing him demonstrate at the SAA World Watercolour Masters in May. It's taken me this long to find a tin and at a reasonable price. Cost me 128.31 euros from Artemiranda, which was cheaper than Amazon! But I'm having trouble getting the paints out of the tin to unwrap them!! Can't wait to try them.
Thank you! I hope you love the palette as much as I do. The metal clips can be pushed back to remove the full pans. Then push them forward to snap the pans back in place, so the won't slide around while you paint. Enjoy!! ;)
Scotchguard may work to seal your white sketchbook. Same product used to protect outdoor gear from inground dirt or whatever. So you can easily wipe off blemishes..
Thanks for sharing! That is a great idea, thank you!
Hi Stephanie! Thanks for sharing your purchases with us. My favorite art store is Jacksonâs, they have an impressive variety of brands including Isaro, old Holland, Blockxx, etc. Not sure why you would get negativity about Jacksonâs, very odd. I wanted to mention that although French ultramarine is beautiful, the ultra finest is nice for portraits. I prefer the minimal granulating characteristic to portray skin. Try it out! Take care âșïž
Hi Kashfia! You are welcome. Yes, I love Jackson's for the same reasons. I was surprised by the negative comments.
Thanks for sharing, I thought there must be a reason! It's also a bit cooler of a blue. I'm glad to know it's purpose finally. I don't paint portraits, quite yet. I will keep it in mind for portraits in the future though. Thanks so much!! Take care!
đ
Itâs those little round circles I think thatâs making the base of the Coliro watercolour palette rickety. Maybe glue a piece of felt on the base of the palette so it will sit flatter. Or transfer the round pans into another tin.
Maybe, thanks for the suggestion. I will try that first to save it, lucky I have other palettes from Coliro that are perfect.
Those markers have got me interested. Been looking for something that I can add detail on top of watercolor and just a smooth Matt color to have fun with. And the price looks ok
Thank you! I really enjoy them, and use them often. The price is great, and sometimes they offer coupons for more saving. ;)
The Coliro palettes rock because of the design of the dots on the bottom.
Thanks! You may be right...
It looks like that thin chopping up board material. Great idea.
Thank you! You may be right. Shipla J commented that Dollar Tree has cutting boards that can be cut down. I'm off to find some! ;D
Thanks for sharing! What sharpener do you use to sharpen your Derwent?
Thank you!! I still like both Heavy Duty electric sharpeners from Jarlink or Afmat electric. amzn.to/3Q50OSN The Derwent pencils have a larger barrel, so make sure and get a 6-12mm sharpener. I hope that helps!
Where did you buy your delfonics pouch? I love that color †! I already have it navy but could use more đ
Thank you!! I was able to find it on Amazon, and I have it linked. Just be careful which seller you use...some way over charge! I want a new color, and I'm debating between the Navy, but they have a new lighter pink too! đ
i donÂŽt know, that coliro get new colours. thank you for show this. =)
You're welcome! Yes, I follow them on Instagram to see the new releases. But, now it's $20 for shipping ;( It used to be $8. đ
I love ordering from Jacksonâs and the shipping is usually pretty quick-much quicker than ordering from Jerryâs or Blick. And itâs coming from England!! And they have some unique things that you canât get on this side of the world. I do also like St. Louis art supply. They have excellent customer service. But you canât beat the selection from Jacksonâs.
Thank you! Yes, those are some of my favorite reasons why I love Jackson's. I find items I can't find here and they are beautiful. I like St. Louis Art Supply, too...they are just sadly usually double the cost of ordering at Jackson's. Blick seems to be doing better with the shipping times lately, but they don't take time to package very nicely. Everything just seems thrown in, lol. St. Louis Art Supplies does that very well, like Jackson's. ;D
@@TheGypsyChic1 I just today had a bad experience with St. Louis supply. I placed an order back in September. Email said it was going to be delivered by last Monday. Iâve been emailing them with no response. Finally had to call today (long distance) and they never shipped the order!!!
Oh, no! I'm sorry you went through that. They didn't have an 800 number to call? I've only placed one order through St. Louis art suppy and it was perfect. But, I think I paid twice what it would have been, if I could have ordered it at Jackson's. So, birthday or not...I won't do that again. I would love to find a store in the USA like Jackson's. Thanks for letting me know, so I can keep that in mind if someone asks about their store.
With the corilo, you are pushing down on the corners. As it has those dots it elevates the corners, push on them and they will wobble.
It wobbles whenever I use the paints too. But, you may be right about the dots making it wobble.
The Caliro(?) Could you put little felt dots in each corner to stabilize the tin? It looks like those little circles stick out a bit right? Ideally those dots would be as thick as the circles. Am I making sense? Ha ha. The dots I'm thinking of are the ones you put on the bottom of things like furniture or lamps from the hardware store.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. That's a great idea, I will try the silicone dots. Thank you!! Usually the tins from Coliro and Finetec are very good quality. Thanks so much!
The feet on the bottom are set in from the sides. The dots will help a lot.
Amazon has that bag for $55 plus $20 shipping! Wow đŻ
Yes, I saw it for that price at first, too. That's why I was trying to warn everyone. Just keep checking...I had to wait awhile to find the Pink for the normal price. I think Pink is the most popular. But, you may have better luck on Etsy.
Hi, yes, I use mica powders a lot. The fact its a changer attracts me! I must say the reviews aren't good so I'm hanging fire at the moment. I do have some micas - haven't a clue of the make, suspect I paid the usual over the top price! Think they may be called Pixie Dust or something equally as daft. They're particularly good - I may experiment with them. I'll either end up with something incredible or a muddy mess! Thanks for the help! I did enjoy the video!!
If you wait a bit, Stephanie is really good about giving an honest review or letting us know in a future videos.
Thank you, both! Yes, I will be share to share soon and let you know how they do. Meanwhile try it out with your other mica powders! ;D Also, thank you so much for leaving separate comments!! I don't see follow up comments, only new comments. So, that makes it so much easier for me to respond to you!
Thank you!!
For the plastic sheet, look up Shrinky-Dink paper.
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video. Have a suggest for your Coliro "problem". If you have 4 - oh, do not know the word - but the things that you put under the furnitures so that they do not make any noise when moving the chairs or tables around. If you have 4 of them and put them in each corner of the box, it should make it much better. Sorry, that my english is not that good. Hope you understand my suggest.
You are so welcome. Thanks for the suggestion, I will try that. Your english is very good and I understand exactly what you mean. Thanks again!
The little pallette that has the water tank is known as a whiskey pallette/painter....yes you can put whiskey in it and use the water holder as a cup....while painting plain air
To keep you warm ;)
Thanks!! I knew you could fill it, but I never dreamed of putting whisky in it to keep you warm. That is pretty cool actually! ;)
Hello, I found you by accident. Those Coliro Pearlcolors are gorgeous! I have never heard of that company before. I will have to see where I can get them. And so are the SuperVision! They remind me of the Daniel Smith luminescent colors.
Hello, welcome! The Coliro Pearlcolors are gorgeous, but you need to add a drop of water and let it sit for 3 minutes before you start painting. You can find them on Amazon, and Jackson's. I hope you heard my warning about the Supervision paints. They are gorgeous, and I loved swatching them...but I can't recommend them as I only liked one box and the company as a whole as really bad reviews sadly.
@@TheGypsyChic1 Oh! Ok, thanks! I must have missed that part, or maybe forgot. I binge-watched a bunch of videos on luminescent colors, haha.
It's easy to do! On any of my older videos you can always ask if I still like them! Lol Many times I like things until I find something better!
I have dubbed the triangle top on tins the chocolate bar top cause I know nothing about the history of these tins. đ And I love chocolate.
Haha, that would be easier for me too...as obviously I don't know either. And I love chocolate, too.
Prismacolour are not cheaper, they are prohibitively expensive in the UK. So may be Derwent are primarily looking at the domestic market?
Maybe you are right? I'm not sure, as I thought they released them here in the USA first...which I also felt was odd. Thanks for letting me know Prismacolour are expensive in the UK. ;)
I felt the same about those chromaflows. I took one look at them and was so disgusted I threw them on the shelf and never looked at them again. They looked and felt like a childâs pencil. But then then Lindsey (frugal crafter) kind of talked me down off the ledge, she likes their performance, and got me to at least try them.
Thanks, Susan! Glad to know I'm not the only one. I'm glad Lindsay helped you use them! I like the pigment/material inside...but, I can't get past the breaking and splitting. Life's too short to use pencils I don't enjoy. So, I will pass these to my kids or donate them after I've compared them to other brands. ;D
@@TheGypsyChic1 Mine donât seem to be breaking or splitting. Iâm just tired of companies pulling this crap. We see it everyday when we go to the grocery store. Jacking the prices up then you pick it up and realize theyâve reduced the size. Again. Price gouging and selling a shoddy product at the same time. Iâve started getting really picky at the store. I look for other brands⊠sometimes there are other brands that arenât so bad as the main ones. Then Derwent decides to pull it to see if they can get away with it. Apparently they have because theyâve come out with a set of 100 now.
@@iwantmy10dollars That's good, I'm glad none of your are breaking. I even switched to a manual sharpener on mine, and another one broke. I was actually hoping to hear more people say that. But, I wanted to warn people so they can use their money towards something better. YES!! That is exactly what I thought of these...they are just a cash grab. I was trying to say it nicer though. Lol Oh, I had not heard the news of a 100 set. But, I'm not surprised....Lots of ladies will watch one review and think they "need" them, which makes me kind of sad. It also makes me think less of the brand.
@@TheGypsyChic1 Ya⊠well I think Iâve only used one sharpener the couple times I used them which was the afmat electric sharpener. You put the pencil straight down in the sharpener and it stops itself when the pencil is sharp. I did get breakage when I went to use them tho so I try not to make them too sharp
Yes, I use the Afmat electric sharpener as well. I haven't had a problem with any other pencils with the sharpener. But, before I gave up on them I thought I should try manually. That is a good plan to not make them too sharp. I hope you keep enjoying them! ;)
I really want the palette with the water bottle of schmincke, but is a lot of money and I'm scared that it may rust... đą
I don't know if I recommend that palette anymore, actually. I wanted it for so long but the color selection isn't great and after time turned green by the water compartment. Maybe wait for a really good sale for a palette you love more?
@@TheGypsyChic1 thank you so much for the update! I'm still a university student, so I could not afford the schmincke even on sale here in Italy. It costs 100⏠and I never see that on sale, so it's a lot for me. I'm still deciding on a palette that would work for me. I'm a newbie at watercolors, I'm really good with inks đ so I watch a lot of videos like yours! I love them so much! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you so much for letting me know a bit about you! Please let give you some advise to help you. I'm sorry it's so long, but I hope you find it helpful!
You do not need many art supplies at all!! Trying all the brands and colors is completely unnecessary, it's just for fun. It will in no way make you a better artist. I loved to draw as a teen, but I couldn't afford any supplies. I'm splurging now because I am finally able to. I also receive many products for free from the company.
I highly recommend you get a small palette of which ever artist grade watercolors are the most affordable for you. You will learn more, and spend less. There is a great shop in Italy where you can compare prices on different brands. It's called Momarte. Maybe you could start with the Watercolor Maimeri Blu - Intro set 5 tubes 12 ml or half pans if you don't want tubes.
Which brand you will love is very personal preference. I love many brands like Schmincke Horadam, but you may not. Try not to spend money on budget sets on Amazon, Winsor & Newton Cotman or Schmincke Akademie (both student grade lines). You can get artist grade for nearly the same price if you shop around. Eventually, you can purchase dot cards to try different brands if you like.
Please don't let any CZcams channel make you feel you cannot create beautiful art without all the supplies they use, even mine! ;D
I'm really glad you enjoy my videos! Please feel free to ask if I would still purchase the item again now. Many prices have increased substantially sadly! đ
hiStephanie, from where do you have this sensationel pouch? Gaby from cologne, germany
Hi Gabby! If you mean the Defonic Pouch, purchased it on Amazon, but I believe it is from Japan. So if you can't find it on Amazon Germany...try Amazon Japan. Plus, don't over pay...it should be about $40 USD. I hope that helps!
If you mean the Schminkce pouch, that was a Jackson's Black Friday Schmincke sale. ;D
Do you pay import duties when you order from Jacksons?
I'm in the USA, and have never paid import duties from Jackson's, Cult Pens, Coliro or Amazon Japan. I believe in the USA you would pay import duties over $800. That could change at some point. But, I have only ordered tracked shipping, or DHL. The only time I had a problem was using FedEx, when they made me sign documents and give my SSN etc. It was not Jackson's fault, but not worth saving $7 shipping. I hope that helps.
I think Jackson's now has a US-based warehouse!
Acrylic does not re-wet once dry. As evidenced by the difference between gouache (which re-wets once dry) versus Acryl gouache (which is permanent once dry.)
Thank you!
Nice video. Great details and I found some unique art pieces that I want to get myself, especially those cute little palettes. Thank you so much for sharing.
Just a tip: I found the background sounds a little distracting as they were not synced with the video when you attempted to add them with the voice over. No biggie though.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful. You are so welcome, thank you for the comment. I'm sorry, I'm still trying to figure out how to edit faster, etc. I try to not do voice overs, but maybe I should so it syncs up better. I really appreciate the feedback!
Will certainly wait til Stephanie does review, though I gather from product reviews these are not as striking as I had hoped. They're not a need - just a want....!đ
Yes, I saw one bad review. But, sometimes people leave bad reviews when they don't know how to use the product. I will keep you posted on these... ;)
Oh poop! There was me thinking, nope don't feel the urge with these supplies.............THEN you bring out chameleon powders! I'm groaning. Husbands groaning. We're in the middle of a heatwave, melting even. And I want - nay, NEED these. I must stop watching videos. I must give up compulsive buying......I promise I'll do both.....when I give up breathing! Chameleon powders...... Oooooooh!
I haven't tried them yet, so I don't know how well they work.
What works for me is putting things in my cart, as a wish list. Then I wait a week, and make sure I still want it to check out. Most of the time, in a week I find something similar in my stash or I move on to another wish list item. ;D You can use any mica powder, these are just supposed to have the chameleon effects. I hope that helps!
Sounds like 300 micron frosted acetate or even 500
Thank you!! I will see if I can find it. @Shilpa J gave a great tip that the Dollar Tree sells cutting boards that can be cut down, too.
I thank you for using Jackson's - relieved ONE company despite the obvious failure of BREXIT (which of course I voted remain!) One good positivity in a gloomy economy!
Hi Helen, you know I love supporting Jackson's and Cult Pens in the UK, as well as shops here in the USA!
Thank u for this video ! One suggestion - it is a bit distracting when there a bits of weird air spaces where you edited⊠in my opinion, better to leave in the errors and allow for audio continuity rather than create irregular audio breaks, which take the viewer out of the experience and may lead them to switch to another video. Best wishes!
Thank you, I appreciate the feedback. It's mostly just me trying to cut out some of the ummms, that I used to get comments about. Thanks for sharing your thoughts in a positive, helpful manner. Best wishes!
Attaccaci un cartoncino rigido sotto le palette coliro
Thank you!
I prefer Jackson's too over the big A. Ignore the critics.
Thank you! I do try...
You said "this is the super granulated colors" instead of "these are the super granulated colors"
Yeah, I often have grammar mistakes as I'm both excited to share and still get nervous when on camera...
Oh for fsake get over yourself
Right, but it is basic grammar. More and more people are using the words incorrectly and it's concerning.
