There’s nothing wrong with using or not using something as I can tell they bring you so much joy just looking at them!! I know if I having a rough day I can go get out my art supplies and feel so much better very quickly and forget about things and it also gives enough of a break to put it all in perspective…. Worth every penny spent
Of course you added student grade to your DS palette 🤣😂! I think it’s safe to say you will never use up all the watercolor you have, and you can probably leave your student grade for visitors/nieces/nephews!! Your skills have really skyrocketed in the past year, you deserve the good stuff!! The green Paul Rubens tin really is stunning. The RS are the most tempting to me! Use that one up!!❤❤❤
@@SketchesnScrubs I haven't been able to watch any of your videos lately, I just came out from hospital of pain chest and short breath, they did every check of heart and it was stress attack . well i am fine now, ready to see all your videos !!😂😂
It makes me so happy to see all your lovely paints 💗 I’m amazed at your Sennelier set still unopened! But I do know what you mean. It is a beautiful thing to just look at. I don’t think I’d have your resolve though. I’d be swatching those in a heartbeat 🤣
Lovely seeing all those different watercolor sets. Though I do have to say, I get anxious of the thought of having to use all of them. I have four, one of 40ish colors, one of 20, one 12 and one travel kit of 6 colors. And that is already tough to decide which one to use. My bigger set is a big mush of all kinds of different colors and brands that I liked and threw together. Same for my travel set. The 12 are Schminke granulating colors which I am kinda too scared to use haha. And the 20 were full pans that were on sale from I think Rembrandt with 75% off so I could not resist. I do not have a particular set that I would like to see you use. I just enjoy coming along for the ride and being inspired by your wonderful creations.
You've got to try those Sennelier! It's just paint! :) I just counted. I've got 11 palettes... Oo and I'm more known as a sculptor. Also waiting for a set of mijellos mono pigment. So much for art supplies over consumption.
@@SketchesnScrubs I do! Lovely paints :) and no worries about not answering right away, I'm not great at answering comments on my channel right away, so I understand :)
I highly recommend creating a spreadsheet for your paints. I have about 600-700 paints with 50+ different brands in my collection and having a spreadsheet on Google that I can access on my phone is incredibly helpful both in keeping track of what I paints own and knowing where in my palette they are.
Let's see... for my palettes, I have my Daniel Smith, Mission Gold, Kuretake, two very worn-down Prima Marketing palettes, some Reeves paints I use for coloring books, and a set of Master's Touch watercolors I was gifted. I also have the Autum and Winter set of Holbein Gouache. As for paints I'd like to see you try to use more, I'd have to say the Supervisions. I recall some tests of them stating the color completely changes in the tubes after a year or two (but not in pans), so it would act as good encouragement to see what wild things you can create with it.
I have almost as many sets as you do, plus a lot of dry media like colored pencils, pastels, charcoal. I really need to go on a no buy 😂 Please, please use your beautiful Sennelier set, it’s just begging to be shown some love 😂
I have soooo many paints! Sennelier, DS, MG, White Nights, A Gallo, Old Holland (yes!), Schminke, QOR, Da Vinci, PWC, Kuretake, Winsor and Newton, Jackson’s, Holbein, Roman Szmal, MaimeriBlu, Paul Rubens and several smaller set of handmade paints from small Etsy shops. Too much! It’s an addiction, but there are worse addictions to have for sure. 🤣😂😁
@@SketchesnScrubs my favorite brand right now is schmincke, but I try to spend time working with each so that maybe I can use some up. It’s so much though! I think it’s the crafter in me LOL.
Thanks for sharing! I was on the edge of my seat until the very end, lol. I love to see what other artists have in their stash. I have 15 palettes….and I still want more. I pick the sennelier. Please. I beg. Open it and show us how cwilf you can get. Love your vids.
@@SketchesnScrubs I really enjoy painting florals and abstracts. I hope to do more urban sketching in the future. Landscapes are a challenge for me, so I hope to take a class for forests and mountains. Thanks for asking.
So much fun to see your collection! I definitely have 1 set of watercolors I haven’t used yet even though I was gifted it for my birthday a while ago. I feel like I’m saving it for just the right occasion but I have it sitting on my desk in plain view so I don’t forget to use it and I feel as though it is sad as I use every other art supply I own right around it! (Not that paint can feel sad😅) I’ve told myself to use it before or on my next birthday at the least so it should be used soon I hope! Either way, I completely understand the feeling!
@@SketchesnScrubs I hope your having a lovely week as well! My birthday is in January so it has been a while😅. The set is one of the A. Gallo naturale little sets and the colors look so pretty in it!
i finally found the time to watch! i'm amazed how many you own LOL i have 4 in total. we need to see the big cotman set from the inside!! it's probably not as bad as my dirty palette 😂 if you do the challenge i think using the cotman/van gogh 12 set or sennelier mini would be good because they're on the smaller side
@@SketchesnScrubs i've been well, just very busy with a lot of other stuff so i couldn't paint a lot of go down my long watch later playlist lol you're probably even busier being a doc. anyways i hope you have an amazing weekend!
I have a pocket cotman set, Sonnet 24 set, Kuretake 36, Saemi pearlescent set, W&N professional field box, White Nights 36 set, White Nights 12 set, Mijello 24+2 pure pigment set, Schmincke 18 tubes set, some 10 or so W&N professional tubes plus few Hollbein tubes and few odd pans. Recently I started buying individual tubes rather than sets because I have realised I have plenty of primaries and instead of trying basic sets of various manufacturers now I only add to my collection individual pigments and I don't care much about brand. I am currently having a cart with 10 or so granulating colors waiting for the right moment. I pick lightfast paints that seem appropriate in price. When I deplete my Mijello set I will probably buy another. Those 24x15 ml tubes at that price are great deal. I am currently saving because I just bought an IPad and have to pay off my monthly payments before getting anything else. I had a bit of a spree again last month, I got Neocolor 2 and Albrecht Durer sets, as well as some paper and few books. So I decided to concentrate on using the stuff I have instead of always running for the stuff I think I want. But have to say Neocolor 2 are fuuuuun 😀
Hi, I'd love to see you use the sennelier, as I'm very interested in them. I now have 4 palettes since we last spoke, lol. Sorry I've not been around, have had covid for 8 days. I hope you are doing OK! Oh, and I want to try the m Graham too. If I get any, I can send you some xx
It would be so nice if there was a community where you can trade different art supplies,(for example different sets in a series)because let's be real no one needs that many colors😅 I started to sell my unused/rarely used art supplies on ebay😊 One day I want to buy a A Gallo 12 pan set,but for now sadly It's not in my budget😞 I have the lukas 1862 48×half pan set,a handful of schmicke watercolors,the paul rubens metallic set and a few of jaxon watercolors 😊
Oof. Tim Holtz said it best today I think, when he said (more or less) that creative makers tend to be whole collection focused...the whole idea of I want that but I want all of that in all the colors, etc...and I see that in myself and I see that in a lot of amazing creatives...I have probably 2 whole collection pallets (and 1 handmade collection pallet from Skrim and 1 from Culture Hustle) , then maybe 3 or 4 partial collection pallets, and dozens of individual colors from 6 or so manufacturers. Then there's some guache, some acrylic, dozens of inks (water based, alcohol based, and acrylic based), soft pastels, watercolor pencils, charcoals, graphites, both alcohol and water based markers, etc etc, oof. Like. Really. 🤦🏻♀️ But as multimedia and assemblage artist, I actually do touch all of it in the process at some time or another.
I only have 1 set of watercolours now since my 1st set kept going mouldy. I got the mungyo watercolour 12 half pans pastel I really love them and I got them on sale too so bonus. I really am hoping to get a Winsor & Newton field box oneday, paint is just super expensive in Australia and I think I would be very scared to use them because of how pricey they are. 😅
I have no idea what the ingredients are in these paints but they where very chalky. I had the Artisto 48 set, I had the small blue tin Because I thought it would be easier to travel with. They weren’t really in pans either they had this glue dot that stuck a cube of paint to this plastic holder so I couldn’t just take them out to change the order of them which annoyed me. I do love the extras that it came with, the water brush, normal brush, drawing pencil and eraser I use all the time. I did convert the tin to a sort of travel brush and pen case I just took the plastic out. I don’t really know anyone going to the UK atm, I wished I was into watercolour when I went to London but that was ages ago. Saved up for like 2 years and went when I was about 11 years old. Keeping an eye on a few places to hope for a sale so it’s $50 Aud instead of $100Aud. Some places can get to $200Aud.
The sennelier set is beautiful..I have the small starter set of their paints that I’ve not yet tried other than to swatch. I also treated myself to an A Gallo set with my birthday money, but yet to try that too as it was so expensive that I don’t want to waste it, but it’s such a waste not to use it, so I’m going to break open my birthday 100% paper and good paints soon…you should do it too xx
@@alinatr2693 they are beautiful paints with a lovely texture and re wet so easily..however they are expensive and I feel my art needs to improve before I will use them.. I want to do a landscape with them as the blues and greens are gorgeous so yes one day if you can afford some of your favourites then try Jackson’s who sell them in individual pans
I really enjoyed looking at all your palettes. My current obsession is the A. Gallo signature palette which I just purchased. In my collection are Schmincke special edition palettes, a Winsor and Newton palette, an Aloha Watercolour palette and I have started making a Roman Szmal palette. There are so many wonderful brands of watercolours out there it’s hard to choose. Great video thank you l
I LOVE that 3D printed palette! That’s amazing! I, too, have far too many palettes, but I’d be tempted to add one more if it were that one! I’d love to see the Roman Szmal watercolors. They’re not easy to get here. I love my A. Gallo and my Greenleaf Blueberry paints the most though. Cheers!
open up that Sennelier set! its too nice to not use😀 I think I have only 3, maybe 4, mostly various cotman ones and some with I have no idea what paint is in them lol
I just ordered a 2 tube set of Super Vision from Amazon and got it yesterday. It is so neat to play with, for sure. I got 1 pinkish and 1 purplish. On my palette they both started looking like the same color after I started using them, but there was some slightly different breakout colors on the paper. But they’re so much fun and I plan to get more. I have some of the Schmincke super granulation colors too. Woo Hoo!
I have 5 (thinking about a 6th and a 7th) watercolor palettes. 2 prima confections (classics and decadent pies, but I don’t know where they are) 2 sets of kuretake gansai tambai paints bc I bought one and received another as a gift, and a pink Paul Ruben’s set… bc the pink is pretty. I also bought 5 pans of cornflower blue bc I thought it was so beautiful. Have you ever considered buying handmade watercolor paints? I’ve never tried them before, but the art of soil and poemsaboutyou seem to have wonderful color selections. I’d like to see Schminke used up! I want to know if they’re the top tier they seem to be.
@@SketchesnScrubs Hello, thanks for the reply! ♡ The first palette I was thinking of getting is the art philosophy complexions set bc I paint a lot of people and get tired of mixing skin tones, plus it’s so cheap! Student grade but tempting… I was also thinking of getting a custom Van Gogh set of paint from poemsaboutyou, the lovely owner of that store set me up with a list of paints that he used in his paintings so I’m very tempted by that as well. Thanks for answering, I’m glad you’ll try them someday!! I hope you’re having a good week too! ♡
I'm just wondering if you did end up picking one to use up! I'm trying to decide the same for myself. I want to narrow down my collection, not keep growing it haha I already feel like a hoarder. They're all so pretty though it's impossible to resist!
My watercolour collection brands I have are: the large cotman half pan set you have, Qor, Daniel Smith, super granulating sets from schmincke and one tube of ultramarine blue from Jackson’s brand which I got free with an order. Not forgetting the Mission Gold 26 pure pigment set.
that was so fun to watch thank you!!! i have the five color set of m. graham and much like your sennelier paints, i am just not ready to open them yet!!
Hi! Only just found your channel. I am on 0 palettes as I've not yet started... I've never used watercolours but go to my first art group tomorrow locally. I'm leaving this comment here so I can come back in 12 months and say how many since now 😅 I think the van gogh palette looks great and compact for a complete beginner so I might look into it. X
@Sketches.n.Scrubs hi! Well timed comment as I've just finished at the group and had THE best time. I'm in the UK so I'm going to look in to those. I used a really horrid paint set and terrible brushes BUT I loved it none the less. It definitely will be something I invest in some bits. I'll carry on watching your channel for tips and enthusiasm. Thank you 😊
Ohh wow that’s a lot of paint 🎨!! I have my very first set of Sakura Koi 30 colors Field set, I have got my second set of Arteza 24 Tubes set (I am close to using these up), 5 Tubes of my favorite colors of Daniel Smith, and my most used set of Winsor & Newton Cotman 40 colors Studio Set & the 6 Tubes set of their new Cotman Metallic set. I also got a 14 W&N Cotman Compact Field Set palette. As for which of your paints to use up, maybe the very small set of the Sennelier set that way you can start using the gorgeous big set your sister gifted you! I really appreciate you sharing your collection & thoughts on each of these paints. Thanks for sharing this with us & have a wonderful weekend! (I got the all clear for my surgery scars healing great & have been given the you can resume normal activity from the Surgeon on the 11th of October!)
I have kuretake, Windsor and newton professional field palette, Paul Rubén’s neons, and some handmade metallic set of six, and the occasional Cotmans and ……. I’m wanting get some moody graphite so might try the kuretake graphite range.
The green box by Paul Ruben, it's almost painful how much I want it! 🙈 It's SO beautiful! The trouble is that I don't need the paint in it, but just want the empty box. So I'm stayyyying awayyy!
i would love to watch you use the roman szmal watercolors as I am really interested in getting them 😍 I have 6 palettes I think abd most of them are custom, the only set that I got is the cotman 45 half pan sets which I got as a present and got me into watercolors🌺
I have a weird idea: if you are finding it really hard to break into your Sennelier wooden box set, buy the Sennelier half pan watercolor set in a metal palette when it’s a good price and use that!!! 🤭😀
@@SketchesnScrubs you’re welcome! Love the video ☺️. That Sennelier wooden box set is stunning, but I feel the way you do, it’s too beautiful to mess up! I mentioned in your other video I have the Sennelier mini palette but I also have a Sennelier set of 8 tubes of watercolor, plus Jackson’s have a set of fives tubes of Sennelier watercolor in a tin for a decent price . I don’t feel precious about the mini palette or the tubes. ❤️
@@SketchesnScrubs I know what you mean, you don’t wanna waste it, I’m the same in some ways 🤣 I worry about missing the chance to use it and ending up wasting it 😭🤣 probably bc of my ocd
I do the same, I take inventory of supplies to remind me that I have plenty to be happy with and don’t “need” more. Although, I *really* want to try Roman Szmal and more Schmincke. I think Schmincke and Daniel Smith are my favourites. The Sennelier pans are great, but their tubes are too sticky and don’t dry enough to use in my travel palettes (nice for home though). I have made lots of custom palettes from tubes of paint (MaimeriBlu, Daniel Smith, Holbein, Schmincke, QoR… plus M Graham and Sennelier in home palettes). In terms of ready-made palettes that I’ve purchased with half-pans: 3x Daniel Smith (24 pan / 12 pan), 1 Winsor Newton (24 pan), 2 Sennelier (24 pan / 18 pan), 1 MaimeriBlu (12 pan), 1 Qor (12 pan), 2 A Gallo (12 pan), 1 Stoneground (14 pan)). I think that’s it… and explains why I’m not ordering any paints!! For the palette you plan to “use up”, I think you should choose that contains the colours that you really want to explore and learn… the ones you’ll most want to replace and continue using after they’re gone. For me, that’s a custom Art Toolkit palette with a combination of Schmincke and Daniel Smith. I just love ALL the colours and feel I could explore and paint just about anything I wanted with them. Have a great week!
@@SketchesnScrubs I'm selling off a lot but the ones I am keeping are Daniel Smith, Sennelier, Winsor Newton, Da Vinci and Roman Szmal. I don't like QOR it fades, Schmincke I like a few of their colors but not many. The super granulating colors are fun though. And I think A Gallo is overrated it's streaky when dry. Lukas is chalky. I'm selling all of the student grade they are not worth it. I decided not to waste my money on low quality paints anymore just because the palette is cute.
when I see your paints still in the package I wonder if I want to cry or laugh. I have a feeling you/your family went through a financial struggle in the past so that might making you a bit intimidated with expensive supplies.
@@cjenkins8785 I watch Sketches for some time and I know her struggle with actually using expensive supplies. It makes me a bit sad that she has this break that stops her. I do not judge, it only makes me think she went through some hardships because she tends to save the good stuff for later. I tought she overcame this feeling by using the happy mail, but I see there are still unopened supplies. No judging, just a tought that came to my mind. It's both comical and a bit sad.
You are such a doll! I enjoy watching you so much….especially hearing your giggles!
There’s nothing wrong with using or not using something as I can tell they bring you so much joy just looking at them!! I know if I having a rough day I can go get out my art supplies and feel so much better very quickly and forget about things and it also gives enough of a break to put it all in perspective….

Of course you added student grade to your DS palette 🤣😂! I think it’s safe to say you will never use up all the watercolor you have, and you can probably leave your student grade for visitors/nieces/nephews!! Your skills have really skyrocketed in the past year, you deserve the good stuff!! The green Paul Rubens tin really is stunning. The RS are the most tempting to me! Use that one up!!❤❤❤
You are adorable! I so enjoy when someone values art palettes. I love mine too!
I would like to see you break into those Sennelier paints!
You and me both
I have never put a number to my palettes, but I know it would be a lot! The one I would like to see you use up is the Rosa Gallery paints. 👍
I so understand you. Yes, I have quite a few , too. I love all of them! You should try Mission Gold. Their paints are bright and beautiful.
Your Van Gogh set is not a mess, it’s beautifully used. 😍

There are so many wonderful brands of watercolours out there it’s hard to choose. Great video thank you l
Jackson’s home brand watercolours are senniler relabeled
I LOVE that 3D printed palette! That’s amazing! I, too, have far too many palettes, but I’d be tempted to add one more if it were that one! I’d love to see the Roman Szmal watercolors. They’re not easy to get here. I love my A. Gallo and my Greenleaf Blueberry paints the most though. Cheers!
Haha, yes. Master the student grade then use the good stuff with confidence 👌
open up that Sennelier set! its too nice to not use😀 I think I have only 3, maybe 4, mostly various cotman ones and some with I have no idea what paint is in them lol
I just ordered a 2 tube set of Super Vision from Amazon and got it yesterday. It is so neat to play with, for sure. I got 1 pinkish and 1 purplish. On my palette they both started looking like the same color after I started using them, but there was some slightly different breakout colors on the paper. But they’re so much fun and I plan to get more. I have some of the Schmincke super granulation colors too. Woo Hoo!
I have 5 (thinking about a 6th and a 7th) watercolor palettes. 2 prima confections (classics and decadent pies, but I don’t know where they are) 2 sets of kuretake gansai tambai paints bc I bought one and received another as a gift, and a pink Paul Ruben’s set… bc the pink is pretty. I also bought 5 pans of cornflower blue bc I thought it was so beautiful. Have you ever considered buying handmade watercolor paints? I’ve never tried them before, but the art of soil and poemsaboutyou seem to have wonderful color selections.
I’d like to see Schminke used up! I want to know if they’re the top tier they seem to be.
@@SketchesnScrubs Hello, thanks for the reply! ♡ The first palette I was thinking of getting is the art philosophy complexions set bc I paint a lot of people and get tired of mixing skin tones, plus it’s so cheap! Student grade but tempting… I was also thinking of getting a custom Van Gogh set of paint from poemsaboutyou, the lovely owner of that store set me up with a list of paints that he used in his paintings so I’m very tempted by that as well.
Thanks for answering, I’m glad you’ll try them someday!!
I hope you’re having a good week too! ♡
I'm just wondering if you did end up picking one to use up! I'm trying to decide the same for myself. I want to narrow down my collection, not keep growing it haha I already feel like a hoarder. They're all so pretty though it's impossible to resist!
Love love Van Gogh. I have the Pinks & Violets set and a 12 + 3 set and a few individuals colors. I consider them to be “semi-professional.”
My watercolour collection brands I have are: the large cotman half pan set you have, Qor, Daniel Smith, super granulating sets from schmincke and one tube of ultramarine blue from Jackson’s brand which I got free with an order. Not forgetting the Mission Gold 26 pure pigment set.
that was so fun to watch thank you!!! i have the five color set of m. graham and much like your sennelier paints, i am just not ready to open them yet!!
Hi! Only just found your channel. I am on 0 palettes as I've not yet started... I've never used watercolours but go to my first art group tomorrow locally. I'm leaving this comment here so I can come back in 12 months and say how many since now 😅 I think the van gogh palette looks great and compact for a complete beginner so I might look into it. X
@Sketches.n.Scrubs hi! Well timed comment as I've just finished at the group and had THE best time. I'm in the UK so I'm going to look in to those. I used a really horrid paint set and terrible brushes BUT I loved it none the less. It definitely will be something I invest in some bits. I'll carry on watching your channel for tips and enthusiasm. Thank you 😊
Ohh wow that’s a lot of paint 🎨!! I have my very first set of Sakura Koi 30 colors Field set, I have got my second set of Arteza 24 Tubes set (I am close to using these up), 5 Tubes of my favorite colors of Daniel Smith, and my most used set of Winsor & Newton Cotman 40 colors Studio Set & the 6 Tubes set of their new Cotman Metallic set. I also got a 14 W&N Cotman Compact Field Set palette. As for which of your paints to use up, maybe the very small set of the Sennelier set that way you can start using the gorgeous big set your sister gifted you! I really appreciate you sharing your collection & thoughts on each of these paints. Thanks for sharing this with us & have a wonderful weekend! (I got the all clear for my surgery scars healing great & have been given the you can resume normal activity from the Surgeon on the 11th of October!)
@@SketchesnScrubs You’re welcome 😉 & thanks 😊💕.
i love your roman szmal palette, i really need to get a box to store mine in
I have kuretake, Windsor and newton professional field palette, Paul Rubén’s neons, and some handmade metallic set of six, and the occasional Cotmans and ……. I’m wanting get some moody graphite so might try the kuretake graphite range.
The green box by Paul Ruben, it's almost painful how much I want it! 🙈 It's SO beautiful! The trouble is that I don't need the paint in it, but just want the empty box. So I'm stayyyying awayyy!
@@SketchesnScrubs 😂😂 It's good to know I'm not alone in this! And thank you for the encouragement! It actually helps! 😅🙏 Xx
i would love to watch you use the roman szmal watercolors as I am really interested in getting them 😍 I have 6 palettes I think abd most of them are custom, the only set that I got is the cotman 45 half pan sets which I got as a present and got me into watercolors🌺
@@SketchesnScrubs oh thank you definitely will check it out 😍
Can’t resist, I have to watch! 🥳
I have a weird idea: if you are finding it really hard to break into your Sennelier wooden box set, buy the Sennelier half pan watercolor set in a metal palette when it’s a good price and use that!!! 🤭😀
@@SketchesnScrubs you’re welcome! Love the video ☺️. That Sennelier wooden box set is stunning, but I feel the way you do, it’s too beautiful to mess up! I mentioned in your other video I have the Sennelier mini palette but I also have a Sennelier set of 8 tubes of watercolor, plus Jackson’s have a set of fives tubes of Sennelier watercolor in a tin for a decent price . I don’t feel precious about the mini palette or the tubes. ❤️
I have 10 watercolour sets and my main artwork isn’t with watercolour! 😮
I will say in my defence my art supplies have been collected over many years. And the allure of different mediums is always tempting
I think i have 10 half are small ones
I couldn’t buy a nice set and not use it 🤣 I don’t know how you do it
@@SketchesnScrubs I know what you mean, you don’t wanna waste it, I’m the same in some ways 🤣 I worry about missing the chance to use it and ending up wasting it 😭🤣 probably bc of my ocd
MVP……I have 20..I love white knights
I’ve read comments and someone told me that Jackson’s watercolors are by Sennelier. They both contain honey so it’s possible. 🤷🏻♀️
@@SketchesnScrubs exactly. 👍
I do the same, I take inventory of supplies to remind me that I have plenty to be happy with and don’t “need” more. Although, I *really* want to try Roman Szmal and more Schmincke. I think Schmincke and Daniel Smith are my favourites. The Sennelier pans are great, but their tubes are too sticky and don’t dry enough to use in my travel palettes (nice for home though). I have made lots of custom palettes from tubes of paint (MaimeriBlu, Daniel Smith, Holbein, Schmincke, QoR… plus M Graham and Sennelier in home palettes). In terms of ready-made palettes that I’ve purchased with half-pans: 3x Daniel Smith (24 pan / 12 pan), 1 Winsor Newton (24 pan), 2 Sennelier (24 pan / 18 pan), 1 MaimeriBlu (12 pan), 1 Qor (12 pan), 2 A Gallo (12 pan), 1 Stoneground (14 pan)). I think that’s it… and explains why I’m not ordering any paints!! For the palette you plan to “use up”, I think you should choose that contains the colours that you really want to explore and learn… the ones you’ll most want to replace and continue using after they’re gone. For me, that’s a custom Art Toolkit palette with a combination of Schmincke and Daniel Smith. I just love ALL the colours and feel I could explore and paint just about anything I wanted with them. Have a great week!
30 different pallets.
@@SketchesnScrubs I'm selling off a lot but the ones I am keeping are Daniel Smith, Sennelier, Winsor Newton, Da Vinci and Roman Szmal. I don't like QOR it fades, Schmincke I like a few of their colors but not many. The super granulating colors are fun though. And I think A Gallo is overrated it's streaky when dry. Lukas is chalky. I'm selling all of the student grade they are not worth it. I decided not to waste my money on low quality paints anymore just because the palette is cute.
when I see your paints still in the package I wonder if I want to cry or laugh. I have a feeling you/your family went through a financial struggle in the past so that might making you a bit intimidated with expensive supplies.
not that I am judging, just something that came to my mind.
@@cjenkins8785 I watch Sketches for some time and I know her struggle with actually using expensive supplies. It makes me a bit sad that she has this break that stops her. I do not judge, it only makes me think she went through some hardships because she tends to save the good stuff for later. I tought she overcame this feeling by using the happy mail, but I see there are still unopened supplies. No judging, just a tought that came to my mind. It's both comical and a bit sad.
Katarina, yes, each artist has creative differences.
