After 40 Art
Дания
Добавлен 30 янв 2022
Hi, my name is Kat and I am just over 40. I call myself an artcrastinator because for years I have procrastinated doing anything art related even though I really wanted to try to draw more, paint more and just create more. This channel is my way to document my journey and hopefully inspire any other potential artcrastinators out there to stop the procrastination and just create something beautiful. I know there is someone out there who has a stash of art supplies they have forgotten about. Who says only kids can be creative? Almost no one, so whats stopping us?

Inktober Day 18 Saddle
Просмотров 20Год назад
Todays prompt was saddle. and I couldn't get the racing snail from the never ending story out of my head. So I made a snail. The snail needed a friend so he got a ladybug. This was done in Inktense on the Hanhamule paper I have been using for most of these. Let me know what you think. I may turn this into another coloring page at some point.

So many colors...Arrtx 126 set on 3 different papers
Love the video, on a side note, I think maybe the paints needed a longer to activate as they seemed a little pale for WN!
Thank you. I try to swatch my watercolors the way I use them so it's accurate for when I paint with them. I like to layer a lot so tend to not prewet them. This was also my first professional set of watercolor so perhaps I was a bit scared to waste them. One of the only times I prewet watercolors it was so mushy. Different brand but trauma lol
☺
so cute
You just know it had to be a snail. lol
just beautiful
Thanks. Tried to do something different.
So cute
Hehe. He's just so proud of himself lol
cute
I tried, the verbs are always so hard to figure out lol
interesting😺
I thought it was a funny idea. Hehe
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
cute kitty!
I might have to make these better at some point
the toad is cute!
thank you :) its just a quick sketch but fun anyway
Trash panda all the way. Sorry I had to leave live…my computer just wasn’t cooperating. I got a little pop-up message asking if I wanted to know why the feed was bad, but it went away so fast I didn’t get to click on it to find out.
I appreciate you stopping in. Sometimes the feeds are just slower than we'd like unfortunately. I hope to hear how things go with you kurtake pens. 😁
Interesting
Thank you
I like it :) I find the verb prompts to be quite challenging myself.
They really can be so difficult.
😻
I had to do it. I should totally send this to him.
I just finished my last project and was trying to decide what to do next. I think I will try something like this with ink and watercolor. I really like the look of it!
It really is fun, I will definitely need to play around with this a lot more throughout inktober :)
Looks so good! I really love how you can see the movement on the dreamcatcher.
Thank you so much. I always worry it's not enough 😁
I loved the Quin. Violet and the Turquoise the most when you were swatching them. It was so fun watching the green spread when you painted the background.
I have to be careful using the green when painting cause I love watching the green spread. It's like magical
Beautiful ❤ which type of paper have you used?
That paper was 100% cotton rag. I buy them from Kreatima in Panduro locally as A3 pad and cut them smaller. Will try them on some fabriano and canson xl soon too
Hello my fabulous fourty friend! Hope all is well, question, are these easy to color with? I don't like color pencils that you have to fight with to color, soo frustrating!? Love the pineapple house, SpongeBob should move right in!!😂
So far these seem to be fairly easy to color with. I had noticed the black edition are even a little softer. Will be doing some more stuff with those soon too. Now I'm wondering if I should try out my pencils side by side just to compare. Hmm. I know the softest I have are the coloursoft. But not everyone can buy those, they can be a little expensive. I think the fc black edition are the next but I'll have to check that to be certain.

Wow can't wait to see your other new paints! You have quite a collection, I wonder why we like to try them all out? It seems to be true with watercolor artists! But it is soooo fun!!😅 see ya on the next one! 👍🎨✍👋😄
Editing now stil, these have been collected over a fairly long time. I have issues with “full set syndrome“ as well so it's pretty bad sometimes. But it's not hoarding if it's art supplies right? Lol
@@After40Art I second that emotion!!!👍👍😉😄😃😍
So true!!!!!
They are so awful. Sadly it's not even worth trying to return the dmgd items. Art supplies should not be shipped in paper bags. All us Artists should start documenting and file a class action lol force em to use boxes
I like your created world❤❤❤
Thank you. 😊
hey aunt grate job
pls dont push ur self
Thanks. 😊
Lovely painting!
Than you. These kinds of projects are always fun.
Wow I enjoyed this very much! Sorry you were sooo sick. I had duck one time for Thanksgiving and it was delicious!! So you moved out of the states? I am new so that's why I'm confused! But I subscribed and I am watching all the videos now! Thanks, bye for now.😃👋👍🎨✍
Hi and welcome 😊. I moved here in 2007 after a few years of traveling back and forth. Never looked back. It was a massive culture shock to start with, now if I went to visit I'm certain it would be culture shock too since it's been soo long. Duck can be pretty good but we only eat it twice a yr. Once at Christmas and once on Saint Hans Eve. So happy to hear that you enjoyed this. I have been redoing the cement tiles in my garden but will be back to filming this week. 😊
I have CarbOthello and they are partially Aquarellable, have you tried them with water? PS: Have no problem with the tray, why not simply press on the bottom of the pencil, it pops right up. Also a putty eraser should be able to do as much in pastels and on any other media.
I havnt tried them with water no, something to think about. My only issue with the tray is that on the bottom one the pencils don't fit right, it's slightly to small for the pencils and they sit above it in a weird way. I have seen other sets that do not have this issue, so it could just be mine. The eraser that came with my set is so hard that I can't use it with pastels. I mostly use pastelmat so the eraser needs to be kneadable Works great as a normal eraser though. Thanks for the tips and for watching 😊
great video, i have arrtx, and as much as i like them i found there is quite a few that are exactly same in colour, and yet lacking in greys for me ;( can i also ask where did you get the colour chart from?
There are some that are somewhat similar. Color chart came from a group I will hmget a link for you later today. 😊
Sorry it took me so long I had to find it again this is the colour chat I used. drive.google.com/file/d/1DhlI5Ra41GsyeeCxmHnRMlaQQQZu79K7/view?fbclid=IwAR16HZVmWuCVVFe7jpIURUu2wm0-ln3s18RPk3YRxw_EgE8mwH74A66gP8s
@@After40Art thank you ;) and please don't apologize i myself meant to reply after i saw notification of your reply later that day, but life happened and forgot XD
Cold press or rough (if you want a lot of texture to show through) watercolor paper, canson mi tientes and canson sand grain are all great for oil pastels. I also use mixed media paper a lot, but it takes fewer layers.
Thanks for the tip 😊. I definately want to try more papers to find the ones that feel right.
Beautiful flower drawing..
Thank you so much 😀
watercolor paper works well.. good job its a pretty flower
Thank you I will have to get some watercolor paper to try that. 📄. Would you suggest hot press or cold press?
💗
Thank you 😊
Carbothello was the first set I ever bought 40+ years ago. It was a tin of 12 grey assortment. The numbering system for colouring has changed since then but I absolutely love the variety of greys I have in this brand. I generally leave some of the plastic wrapper on the kneaded eraser so that you’re keeping the unused part as clean as possible prior to use.
That's a smart idea with the erasers. This one that came in this box just doesn't feel right. But I use FC kneaded erasers so it's not a big deal. I am very thrilled with the selection of Grey's in this set. It's so many.
these look very interesting...thank you for the comparison
Thank you for watching 😊. So far I like these a lot. Definately will be doing a more in depth look between the 3 brands I have in the near future. Just want to be sure I have all my research properly in place first.
Pentel pastels are fabulous to use. I've been using them for years. They blend easily, good saturation and easy to manipulate. Use a good light weight watercolour paper. They don't smell weird at all. Mix well with Mungyo too. Always try out art materials yourself and decide.
I actually love them, the smell went away with leaving them out for a while
These look amazing would love to try these tysmfs 🥰
They are soo soft it's crazy. May need a second set just for replacements if I can't find local open stock
nice
Thank you for commenting and watching 😊
very nice and creative 😍❤️
Thank you! 😊
Someone on line solved the problem of the water by using a layer of GESSO first.
Good to know. Something I may have to attempt
🥰
What did you use to blend? Your work is beautiful. I love your choice of colors.
I believe I used gamsol for this one. 😊
Very beautiful bird! 🐦
Thank you :) I love drawing birds. They are just so pretty.
Take them out of their box and let them air out. The smell will disappear. Mine took roughly 2 day's and then you couldn't smell anything
They don't have a smell anymore, It was just when I opened them, which Is what I suspected may have been the case. I love them now :) very fun to use.
Yes they are fun. I took mine out and forgot about them for 2 day's lol so when I found them again in plain sight they didn't smell
PB 27 is crazy, it disappears from the paper after some exposure, but if it is put away from light it comes back full strength, it's magically annoying and sad, I love it, but hate it too
Oh yeah that sounds so annoying, I will need to check on that too when I redo this test on paper that doesnt turn yellow hehe.
Congratulations for the experience ❤️
Thank you so much for watching.
I really prefer sinthetic brushes rather than natural, they are too soft, except the Asian goat hair brushes, they are very exciting ad different in a positive way.
I havnt decided yet what I like more, but I have only been painting for as long as you can see here on RUclips. Though, I do love these sheeps wool brushes I got from Søstrenegrene, they are so cool.
They are great for underpainting. Save your more expensive better pastels for top and highlights.
That is a great tip, I havnt been using these lately as much as I should be to be honest. I will definitely get back to them though. As far as oil pastels, I only have these and the Faber Castell ones. I was going to order some better ones and just havnt gotten around to it yet. one of these days.
I always like to hear the artists talk as they draw or paint more than the music.😀👍👍
I am working on getting more comfortable with just talking at least sometimes. 😊
Nice!!!👍
Happy birthday, enjoy your goodies
Thank you!! I definately will for sure.
