    Great video melissa found it interesting and informative..i think that to get the best out of pencil you should sharpen them before first use or swatching cause some manufacturers of pencils are coated to help with shipping not to break tip...💛🇨🇦🇺🇲🎨✍💛

    Hi Mellisa I bought a set of holbein acrilla gouache which is not suposed to lift, it DID just like watercolour dont know if I had a bad batch but I just as well bought watercolours and it wasnt cheap!!! VERY dissapointed!!! Great haul just found you and have subscribed. Its better to swatch watercolours when they have dried, they are not as good when wet

    • @melissamartinart
      @melissamartinart  9 месяцев назад

      Hi Sue, thanks for finding my little channel! 🤗💖✨ That stinks about the acryla-gouache, and not at all what I’ve heard from other people. Sounds more like traditional gouache than anything. And oh yes, I’m going to do a full swatching chart of all the colours now that they’re dried on a fresh new palette 😉

    Japanese language is a combination of Kanji (literally translated “Chinese character”) and Japanese characters. To learn Japanese language, you’ll need to learn both Kanji and the other Japanese charactrers.

    Thanks for sharing. I’m very wary of what art supplies to bring onboard. My Pentel pocket brush didn’t explode/leak, and all the other gel pens were fine too. Did you check in the Holbein watercolor tubes? On the fence about buying them as I am only doing carry-on but they are dirt cheap over there.

    • @melissamartinart
      @melissamartinart  9 месяцев назад +1

      It was only the big brush pen that got messy, though it all stayed in the lid (the mess happened when I opened it!). I had the pocket brush pen with me and it was fine.
      I did check the watercolours, but as long as you have them a ziplock bag in your carry one I think you should be ok! I like them so far, but I haven’t really done a full watercolour painting them yet, but from what I’ve seen so far I expect they’ll be great. Definitely worth the price!
