Добавлен 21 фев 2019
Welcome to Hungry for Paint! Thanks for dropping by! This used to be a place for reviews of handmade watercolours but after nearly a year of filming those and running this channel, I decided to take the leap and become a full-time paintmaker myself. While I don't do reviews anymore, the content is going to stay and there will be new videos about watercolour paper, sketchbooks and watercolours. Hope you enjoy!

I appreciate your review. I saw several artists complain about Moleskin 'watercolor' sketchbook and how thin it is and how much bleed-through you get. I also find it weird, since watercolor relies on leaving white spaces, that it's cream and not white paper.
Escoda Ultimo is meant to be a mop brush, you make large washes with them, not a pointy performance. In general, I don't like squirrel hair brushes because they are limpy! I need some sort of a feedback (snap) from the brush when I am painting because I cannot control a "limpy" brush in the middle of my painting. That simple! I am finding out silver brush black velvet series have very consistent good point (for your purposes) and some snap as long as you use their smaller sizes like #4 or 6 rounds. I have also seen their 1/2" flat with good performance without being too limpy. They are a bit on the expensive side; if you're looking for cheaper brushes I would highly recommend Princeton Elites. Terrific brush all around, and well controlled quality from one brush to the next. Good luck!
@@windsurfingphd thank you so much for your recommendations! I'll check them out
The pronunciation is Mole (as the Mexican food) skin ( like skin) and e (the last e is pronounced the same way as in mole).
Thank you for your honest review. Paper that allows previous layers to lift is a major pet peeve of mine, and this is sometimes promoted as a good thing since beginners look for papers that will let them erase mistakes.
@@ilahjarvis it is good to some extent but not when it's unintentional and it's very hard to keep the previous layer in place
My husband and I both have one of these sketchbooks but have different experiences. I don't like it for watercolour as I like lots of wet in wet techniques. However, my husband likes it for his style (he has an acrylic and oil background). I have tried other media in it as I don't like to waste paper. It works well for gouache, but I really like it for inktense and water soluble graphite. I think this is why people are so split with their opinions on Moleskine. I won't buy it again but my husband might.
@@CathyPowellGlass what an interesting perspective! Thank you for leaving a comment. I haven't properly tried this paper with inktenses but imagine they could work nicely
Moleskines for WC suck. THe water doesnt sink in and takes forever to dry.I swithced to the Haahnemule books, the ones with the thicker paper.
And how are you enjoying those?
Oh my grooot thats what I need in bedroom😊
Indigo 100% Colton sketchbooks from artway uk give them a try
Thank you for the recommendation!
🤩🤩🤩 YES
✨✨✨
beautiful
Thank you so much!
Waiting for this to restock also!
It will restock sometime in autumn/winter of this year :)
Also wondering about embroidery on Khadi. I’m scheduled for a three day Embroidery on Paper class. Has anyone tried this on Khadi paper? I’m taking some scraps with me to try on a book cover. It’s FOCUS ON BOOK ARTS conference in Oregon. It’s internationally attended and is hosted biannually. So next Conference will be in 2026.
This is anexcellent source and I will keep and refer to. I had no idea it should be handled like fabric until I did some eco dyeing with it. It held up beautifully. I got some beautiful table runners with Camilla blossoms. Now you’ve shown that it is indeed a beautiful paper. I have a lot of it bc I could afford it. I’m making sketch books with Eco dyed papers for the covers. ❤❤
Thank you, I'm so happy you found it useful! 💕
NO wonder the Ultimo has been taken off the shelves at my local retailer. I was wondering what has happened to Escoda. This problem has been around for 3 years or so.
I didn't know about that but it would make sense
We appreciate you choosing our track for your short! 🎵
I love the colors!
Thank you! Happy you like them 🙂
@@hungryforpaint np!
I could watch you Paint all day, it’s so mesmerizing the way you edit It and this music, love It
Thank you so much, you made my day 🥰 I'm so happy you enjoyed it
Satisfying ❤
Happy you like it! :)
My eyes saw that pink-red and now I want it!!!! What an awful time to be broke 😭😭😭😭 it’s going on the wishlist
So happy you like it! I'm kinda obsessed with this colour right now to be honest 🙂 thank you for watching!
I really like it if I'm painting small details because i love the way the paint lies in little cobbles or mixed paint separates, especially cobalt colours. It gives interesting and unexpected results. Definitely not if you want large smooth washes. I love Fluid 100 small 8x8 inch block pads which are 💯 cotton and at this size cheaper than moleskine
YESSSS! I Do this can't stand to wash paint down the drain. Then I use for bookmarks, tags or greeting card backgrounds❤ beautiful marks and colors
What a great use for the patterns!
I’ve sometimes done backgrounds for future small drawings, but this is a cool way to use related colours.
😮 love this set! 😍 Stunning
Thank you! 🤗 so happy you like it!
That "flat wash" doesn't work well on moleskin it seems... some of those cauliflower effects are quite shocking actually.
Definitely not a good paper for wet washes!
Would you share a video about your tips when making watercolor?
Sorry if I’m wrong but I have a feeling it’s just because you choose a really soft squirrel alternative. Those hairs are not meant to be elastic. And the squirrel can hold a lot more water so it needs more water until they look more like they form a point. The versatil should be like soft sable, more elastic than ultimo but still not meant to have a really pointy outcome. I think the perla or prado might be more your thing for your illustration style as they have m more snap.
Thank you for watching and for the recommendation 💕 I am aware that squirrel doesn't really have much snap and requires more water. I used plenty and generally experimented around with them. I don't really have much issue with them being soft. As for the shape, both the ultimo and versatil are described by Escoda as pointed on their website, the photos show a perfect point and the company's representative that I talked to confirmed that they are supposed to come to a sharp point.
@@hungryforpaint I think the point is less important with soft brushes like that because it will lose its point as soon as you push against the paper but you could try the hot water method to see if the hairs will straighten a bit.
Haven't heard about that, thank you @@emmamariamakes !
Waiting for this to restock so I can jump on it! The Mushroom Garden set is amazing so this one must be too!
Thank you for watching and for the support! I'm happy you like the colours :) The Old Library might restock in Autumn/Winter at the earliest.
@@hungryforpaint Oooh thank you so much for the timeframe! Genuinely so excited for later this year now
Looks smooth, i like it 😊
I am also so glad I watched this. What a shame. Also Princeton doesn't make a size 2 travel brush ...boo hoo.
Yeah, some people seem to love Escoda but quite a few seem to have gotten unlucky too, like me 😕
My Reserva set of Escoda travel brushes has sat mostly unused for well over 2 years since purchase. The #2 out of the "box" pathetically imprecise and thick for lines, the others not better than my $30 set from Asia, and that Escoda set is now selling for between $400 -$1000 Cad. Absolutely nuts. I'm opting now for W&N, Princeton Velvetouch, Tintoretto ....@@hungryforpaint
Thank you, good review.
Thank you, I'm happy you found it useful!
I've been using Escoda brushes for years now use almost all of thier product lines and one thing i can tell is thier quality control is not consistency i've bought a lot of artist sets and some of them a like the way you show it in a video and it's really pissing me off and some of them a really really good like a Perla that from Joseph Zbukvic set i bought.The three brushes include in the set are so fine so taper like a needle point after a year or two. The quality consistence being up and down maybe because it's being a handmade brush ?(but i don't think that's a good excuses for making your products to be like this) but some other brands that said more like mass product still put one of the best ever like Da Vinci, Raphael, Silver etc. after this point of being alot of dissapointment in their products i think i'll switch to more affordable brands and not gonna buy their products anymore. p.s I have some really big issue with the Ultimo mop brush after they release the ultimo evolution line they secretly reshape their brush bristle and they never annouced or anything. You can look it in the video from Jay Nathan watercolor p.s 2 But to be honest some of their brushes is really really good for the one that think the whole brand is not worth the hype i think i could actually recommend the Perla brush it's so sharp like a needle sharpest in all of brushes i've ever use after 2 years in my collection.
Thank you so much for your input! Very valuable insights. Altering a product without announcing it and stating it clearly in the product description is a big no-no! And quality is key. If it's inconsistent and you never know what you're gonna get, it's a deal-breaker for me.
I've only just started using watercolors and gouaches and was searching for a notebook to doodle and this review is absolutely perfect - so much info and exactly what I needed to know, you deserve way more views! thank you for this video, I ended up getting the pocket moleskine and super excited to doodle away in it.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy you found this video useful 💕 hope you have lots of fun 🙂
Thank you! I was suspicious because of the hype… instagram marketing is such a big lie. I won’t repeat the mistake I did with some watercolor producers… 😊
I think it might be a bit random with Escoda. Some people really seem to have gotten good brushes and swear by them... But that wasn't my case, sadly
My partner ordered me this set as a gift I can’t wait
Yay! Hope you're going to have lots of fun with it 🥰
I do want to try this book-I heard it was really good for zentangles.
If you stick to drier media, I think it could be a good choice 🙂
Incredibly chalky paints, and the etsy photos do not look like the paints at all. I was very very disappointed. For the price I paid to him, I could have got a wonderful set with double content, from Holbein, Kremer, Agallo… I stopped following everyone in instagram, who led me to this decision by marketing him. Thanks for your honesty, I wish I saw your video before.
I'm sorry you had such an awful experience 😞 I'm sure there are people who enjoy these paints but they're not for me
I took out my old, neglected Moleskine A4 watercolor sketchbook a couple days ago and while painting, remembered how much I hated the paper for watercolor, at least for my style of painting. 😅 So, just to make sure I wasn't imagining things, I went searching for reviews and yours felt so validating! Your sketches are beautiful though, I especially love the cats!
Thank you so much! Glad I could help 😀
Endless possibilities ❤
So glad I watched this
Happy you found it useful!
색깔이 너무예뻐요❤
My issue with Arteza and the reason why I don't buy their products anymore is the inconsistency in the quality of their products. They have some decent stuff, and then they have even more bad stuff. I have their Gouache paints, and they are pretty decent beginner paints, imo. But then there are some papers and also the watercolors, which are really bad. Dunno, how their Acrylics are, never tested them. But yeah, I guess that's the problem when you get your stuff from different chinese suppliers. Inconsistency in the quality. Luckily there are much better, affordable options out there than Arteza. But I guess when you get 3 thick watercolor sketchbooks for $20, you can't really expect anything good from them. I have some affordable wood pulp watercolor sketchbooks (300gsm tho) from T-mu, and these things take every watercolor technique like a champ. No paper crumbling, no feathering, no nothing. Which means that Arteza is probably using even cheaper paper for their books.
Interesting insight, thank you! I've never ordered anything from T-mu, mainly because their ads get in my face so much it's annoying and I generally try to avoid buying the cheapest stuff from China. But I guess you can chance upon products of reasonable quality on there too!
Escoda has lot of issues, even the versatile lose their shape after a while. Btw what Tintoretto brushes are you using?
I use the synthetic 452 Tintorettos size 0, 3 & 6 rounds
Can anyone tell how to make watercolor paper?
Ive made papers with plants like cattails Iris daffodils that have stringy leaves. Cut up and cooked. Then beaten in the blender.
@@phyllisjeanfulton thank you so much for ideas 🙏🙏🙏
Snowfall😍
I onLy tried a few of their brushes, but wasn’t overly impressed. I had a set with some barroco brushes I think (the ones with a green barrel) and they were nice at the beginning but now don’t hold a point anymore. I’ve been enjoying the DaVinci Nova series and even some very cheap ones from Amazon Transon, they hold a good point.
I heard good things about the DaVincis too!
It looks that you'r a little bit severe with Moleskine. It's ofcourse not the ideal paper for wet on wet technic. For that type of watercolor you need at minimum a 300gr, but as you know Moleskine is 200gr only. However when traveling I like to use such a quality sketchbook, not to make wet on wet classic watercolor, (that's for my workshop), but making watercolored loosed sketches to have a souvenir of what was my trip. I use 3 sketchbooks A4 a year for this purpose, imagine with 300gr my backpack will be more heavy and the size much bigger. Also having a full Moleskine collection of all my trips is a plus! Expensive but serious ! Anyway, thank you for your videos, I'm fan ! Michel
Thank you so much for your comment! For quick sketches and fewer layers of watercolours without caring to much about smoothness of the wash etc, Moleskin is totally fine! 300g is perfect but thinner paper can still perform nicer than Moleskines (in my opinion), for example the Global Art Materials sketchbook that I made a video about, or the Pink Pig sketchbooks that I'm working on a video about 🙂 BUT if you love your Moleskine, that's amazing and that's everything that matters 💕 Thank you for watching, I appreciate your input
Beautiful colours and lovely video :)
Thank you so much!
😍 stunning
Thank you!
Your paint is beautiful! Keep going! 💜
