I love it when people spend money and show me nice things, especiallyart supplies, that my impoverished bottom can't afford. Thank you!
vicariously living through hauls ganggg
oh my god.. it's someone's job to paint color swatches?!?!?! I didn't know my dream job existed but here we are.
Haha right?!
totally! :)
That's unusual packing for Jackson's - Usually every single item is individually wrapped and usually using repurposed packing materials. It's one of the best things about the. It's like Christmas unwrapping everything. So I was super surprised to see everything just under paper in your box.
Me too! I've ordered tons of stuff from them and this was a first. But everything was very durable so maybe they just didn't need to? I dunno
I don’t like acrylics, especially because of the plastic content, but it was really satisfying to watch you open all these and do the swatches. Looking forward to seeing how you get on with them!
High Flow acrylics are SO MUCH FUN! I can't wait to see what you do with them!
How do you use them for your art? I've seen many different videos and I'm so curious
So much fun shopping with you! And it didn’t cost me a cent! Shop on and share more!,,
Haha
There's a media from golden that is to add high flow. It needs to be diluted with water and then added to paint. That would work for your black better.
Yea I got some of that after, as well as a high-flow black because it is used often
This was so interesting and fun to watch, I've never seen empty paint markers before. Thank you for sharing
I’m so glad that you bought some Golden acrylics! I really like them (and I have that hand painted colour chart too - it’s so useful and much better than just having a printed chart). 🎨 And thank you for the mention! What a lovely surprise that was. I was wondering where all the new subscribers had come from! 😂 You know how much I enjoy your channel too; you’re inspiring me to try plein air painting (although I might just do a trial session in the garden first!).
Garden painting is SO relaxing!!
I would love to have the job of hand swatching for any art supply store. Gettin paid to color!!! Yes please!! ❤
Oh men, these kind of video's are such a joy to watch!!
Great to see you working with these, Sarah. Thank you! I have a variety of them & am still struggling with good old viscosity. I’m finding the Montana acrylics to be the best so far - but of course they are actually designed for the markers. Haven’t looked too close at the price point yet, though. Molotow also makes refills & I have one still to try.
love the throw back hehe enjoy the new art supplies !
Those are some cool marker thingeybobbers!! Gosh what an exciting haul!!
Right?! My mind was blown. And so far I'm loving them!
@@SarahBurnsStudio ooooo awesome! Imma have to try that one day!
I LOVE how creative you're getting with video editing!!!
Thank you!! It's been fun to learn the software better and be more creative
so excited to see you use these :D
I’m not really interested in acrylic painting, but this was so interesting. I love your videos and art. Can’t wait to see what you create with these markers
Ohhhhhh...you will love Golden Acrylics! I have the heavy body ones and they are beautiful!
I will probably order some heavy body as well, they seem so luscious!
I use a budget brand acrylic marker that is more reliable than some more expensive ones. They can store can direction and am having fun playing using them in different ways. Coated with gloss will change some marker colours/tones. Matt medium also ok. I love the juiciness of acrylic markers. Can also blend on the page.
Have fun cant wait to see what you do with them.
I found this very interesting as I too feel like drawing is more natural/easier than painting.
The 2015 video of you wrestling your canvas on the ocean cliff was gold! I was waiting for it to blow over the cliff...glad it did NOT. Happy painting with all of your new and fun supplies!
It nearly did many times!! lol
That was fun!
Pshhhh, I can spend wayyyy more than that and receive a much smaller box any day. Rookie 😉 Love your videos 🥳🥰
🤣
My mind is blown!!
Love art hauls🥰 I've started using Golden heavy body acrylics & Liquitex soft body acrylics. The soft body acrylics come in a bottle that you can open all the way, but also had a nimple applicator (like a restaurant ketchup bottle). And with the soft body paint, you can use a small plastic condiment container and they don't dry out. BTW, my art haul yesterday was a new easel!!
That's so exciting!! And yea, I used Liquitex for years and really like them, but I guess my workflow is changing. I love the idea of drawpainting 😁
Those little pad/sponge thingys that come with the Sofft tools work great with their applicator knives. They have long plastic handles and make life a lot easier than using them with your fingers. Great video. I am not a brush painter so these fillable 'pens' will be great so I can paint without a brush!
Yea im definitely planning on getting one of those because otherwise I make such a mess!
I love art hauls and this one was so interesting. I have never worked with acrylic markers and would love to see more of your experience with them.
I stick to my tube paints because I amost never paint outside. (Too many mosquitos and other critters where I live).
Thank you so much!
Sarah.......love your wedding band with elfin script! Great unboxing and your enthusiasm is contagious.
Thank you! My ring has elven script which says "The Sundering Seas between them lay, And yet at last they met once more" because of how wolfy and I met and I had to travel far!
@@SarahBurnsStudio have you told that story on one of your videos??? I was curious if you went on vaca there etc...
@@reeseosbornestudios its a line from the poem in the Silmarillion (by Tolkien) about Luthien and Beren
@@SarahBurnsStudio Beautiful! Love Tolkien!
Brilliant to see this! Been looking for someone using the high flow with Montana’s! I have some liquitex markers and they are nice BUT they leak and then the lids get stuck ☹️ it’s not too bad if you’re using at home but not great for travelling xxx
These leak into the caps too...mainly because the high flow acrylic I'm using. BUT they stay moist for a long time (so far weeks) so the caps remove and I can instantly use them.
That was very interesting. Those empty markers are Something I’d like to try, but not so sure how it’ll work out In The long run with those nibs and marker tubes with the way acrylics dry. Got my eyes 👀 on ya!
I'll be posting a video about using them soon!
I use acrylic for plein air and cannot do it without the Masterson Handy Stay-wet palette!!! And a mister! Interesting information, thanks!
Good thing I have those 😄
I have never seen these refillable marker pens before either, but they look most useful. I have 2 Guerrilla 5” x 7” boxes with cases that hold a few accessories, one set up for pastels and the other for paints. They have two handles and a shoulder strap, they are great to just grab and go with everything you need inside. Also a French Resistance version roughly 9” x 12” you can use various sizes adjustable and carry a wet painting back attached to the outside. I just love them ! Have fun with your markers.
I really love the Guerrillas because they are practically indestructible lol
I think you were very brave filling all those pens with paint before knowing if they were going to work. I wold be terrified hahaha
Well if they were a disaster, I would have contacted the company! And I would have had video proof LOL
£31 for that little plastic palette? Wow 🤯
Can’t wait what you do with all these fun goodies 😀
I KNOWWW I was cringing when I bought that...but at the same time if it saves me a lot of headache, spilled paint, messy backpack, etc for the next 20 years, it's worth it.
Thanks for this haul video n the colour test. Hopefully the messiness reduces once you get more familiar with the new medium. On an entirely separate point love your arm tattoos. You should do a video on those alone- they look incredible
Aww thanks! I did a whole tattoo tour during my winter vlog, if you want to see and hear about them :)
this whole time I thought I clicked on a 24 min video just to find out it was 53 min when it ended loll guess I was too busy watching to realize how fast time passed😄
I actually prefer it when my mixing spaces are closed off into different sections. I find I use for using less mixing space per mixture. and for the maker maybe try to add for of that substance to make it for liquid. I'm no market expect either though. Watching this is pretty cool.
Fun haul! I’ll be curious to learn how the markers work plein air. I’ll also be curious how the nibs work when the paint dries on them. Do you clean them between uses? I like the concept. Thanks for allowing us to experiment along with you. Also, I’d be interested in learning more about your thoughts on gouache brands and what you’re looking for, pros and cons. Finally, wouldn’t it be fun to be the person who has the job of making those swatch sheets?!? Fun haul- you are so generous with sharing your experiences and letting us learn along with you. Thanks!
Ugh sorry about my repeated comments, deleting, etc. 🙄
I'll definitely share all that knowledge as I go! As for the nibs, it's been 7 days and they are still 100% wet, flowing very easily.
That was interesting. I had no idea you could make your own “Posca pens”. I just have the white Posca but thought it might be interesting to get a couple more basic colors. My experience with acrylics so far has been paint parties at the senior center! I did buy set of primary colors of Holbein Acryla Gouache but have only barely played with them. I will be interested to see more videos of you using your markers.
I was the same with my white posca..but I have to admit, my .7mm homemade white marker works 1000% better than my posca pen!
Wow Sarah, probably the most interesting art haul ever.... I'm interested in how you will mix with those markers. I have a midsized gorilla pochade but it's so heavy that I'm not a fan...I have a thinner box, open m too... but I want the kind Casey Baugh has, edge pro... That said I'm not a prolific plein air person and tend to fall back on watercolor because it's so much easier on the go.... I'd never heard of those acrylic markers though. Have fun with those. Can't wait to see how they work for you!..also I'm interested in the schmeke watercolor and quache...I use m. Graham, which I love. I went to a workshop with Mary Whyte, and she recommended them...they use honey, if u are interested. Many blessings!😉🙏
I always go back and forth with my plein air setup. Most days I like very minimal supplies and I'll balance everything on my lap. But other days I want my box so everything I need is right there and I don't have to dig through my bag. The 6x8 is great because it fits in my backpack, but I've had to get used to limited mixing space. I suppose it's not bad since the canvas is also so tiny lol
I use the golden high flow acrylics for hand marbled papers for my leather sketchbooks I make. Alot of the colors are pretty transparent, I mlready did this exact same thing, with the same markers..... most are too transparent. But yeah, the Golden high flow acrylics are absolutely amazing for Ebru paper marbling 🙂
Good to know! So far I really like them. I suppose it depends on the use and style!
OMG I have never heard of anything like those empty (Montana) markers!!! Does the paint in the nibs stay wet until the next use? This is such an exciting idea, I am excited to see some follow-up videos! Thanks for sharing!
Sorry I missed this comment! Yes - they are still moist, and I've been storing them vertically. I used them in a recent studio vlog video if you want to see
Late to the party here…yes, Montana markers are great…I also have a few. Molotow from Germany, who also make great acrylic markers and have an outstanding refill system for all of their products….they seem to be very eco-conscious. I think their price ranges are similar to Montana’s. I have stayed away from using a lot of acrylics (will use them some) because of the plastic waste issue, (how many acrylic painters will save up their acrylic waste water, drain off the water and save the “dried plastic bits” to later take to their local waste disposal center? ) That waste water with all its plastic mostly goes down the drain or when dried…in the trash. People love ❤️ the easy clean-up of acrylics, but there’s an environmental cost to that ease (as there is to almost any painting medium.) But when using acrylic markers that you fill as needed, waste is really cut down to a minimum. I think refillable markers are the way to go for typical acrylic use.
I completely agree! I've been loving the markers so far. They are fun and easy to use too.
Hi Sarah, Thank you for sharing this! It's helpful. Have you tried using pencil or water-based paints over the top of the Golden paints, or are they too glossy?
This is my first time with Golden paints. We'll see!
When you added blue to your mixed pen, you may have needed to use it a bit more before the mixed color came through the nib. There was surely some old color still in the pumping mechanism and in the nib, so you probably saw minimal or partial results in your initial, small Scribble post-blue.
Good point! But I've used it a bunch since then and it's still very pink 😅
26:15 was I the only one thinking about feeding a little teeny tiny baby lamb 🐑 🥛
Sarah, try cleaning the nib of the bronze pen with alcohol or thinner (lacquer may have hardened).🤓
Ohhh great idea, I'll try that!
Could you do a video on difference between nibs with Jackman's and liqtex... I'm so excited to see this video I cant wait till you post a video on using them outside......🎨
Thanks! I did recently post a video of me using them outside on the coast :)
Oh man. Every time I buy art supplies I spend SOOO much money. Haha. It’s an addiction!
Its awful 🤣 but also great .. luckily I was able to use some affiliate money. But now this order has led to another order 🤪
I bought molotov or is it molotow acrylic markers(from Utrect) many years ago and they have a similar pumping action. They are still sitting mostly full in a storage container. The acrylic paint comes out either too much or too fast plus the colors seemed off and a little smelly if I remember correctly which might have been caused by numerous things. But even if the colors had been beautiful, there was still the leaking problem.
Hmm maybe it isn't good to let them sit so long. I plan on using them a lot so hopefully that won't happen!
@@SarahBurnsStudio hopefully not. This happened before they were old though
I use the Liquitex acrylic ink in glass bottles with the droppers and Dr. PH Martin india inks in the Daler Rowney (sp) Mixed Media Markers. I only filled them about 3/4 of the way in case I hated them. I have the hard plastic nib so they're like a fine point Posca Pen. I LOVE them. They've been in the pens a little over a year with no issue. I store them vertically, tip up, shake them up when I'm ready to use and they start right up.
I have the Montana Markers, purchased prefilled, and I store those horizontally like my other acrylic marker pens with no issues. I give them a good shake and they start up with no issues.
I have a kit of Golden High Flow that I haven't used yet, which came with their brand empty markers. Maybe I'll set them up and post an uodate if they can be stored horizontally.
Thank you for the video. I look forward to seeing how you use the markers to blend colors, and how you're able to travel with them for plein air painting. So informative!
Thanks for all the info! I have a feeling the Golden high flow is more runny than Montana brand. So far I've been storing them with the nib up, and 7 days later they are still 100% wet and instantly work.
I have similar acrylic marker that came with the paint in them, not a great experience a lot of trouble with the nib/brush end drying after use (even though I put the brush cover on after use), this made the brush unusable as the paint would not flow to the brush anymore, I stored these on their sides as advised, really annoying as they were expensive.
That's a bummer! It seems like they are better if used more often.
Heck. I need to do this. Although it's sad how much money I've spent lol
Wow loved this video. I didn't know you could get markers you could fill yourself, I'm thinking would it work with gouache? going to have to try that. Look forward to seeing a painting with them.
It won't work with gouache unless you really water it down and even then it will probably clog up shortly
@@SarahBurnsStudio. Oh that's a shame. Thanks for replying
Just heat the tip of the bronze pen on the stove for 2-3 seconds and it should probably work.
I bought one of those several years ago to put watercolor into. They weren’t really my jam, but the acrylic thing is super interesting. The mess is real for most artists especially when your exploring new things, no apologies needed. It was super interesting. ClaudiaSJI
Oh wow watercolor? That must have flowed like crazy?!
@@SarahBurnsStudio well I used the smallest nib, and the color was cerulean ( lots of sediment) it worked for a while then plugged up☹️ ClaudiaSJI
Very cool to watch! I’m wondering if you have to remove and wash out the nibs between uses, or do they stay wet. Also, the paint looks quite matte when dry, whereas Liquitex has a bit of a gloss. Is that correct or just the direct view giving it a matte look? Thanks Sarah! 😃
So far they have been staying moist. I used them yesterday after over a week of them sitting with the nib pointing up. These lean more towards a satin if not matte finish when dry, except for really thick areas.
I was wondering same. Good to hear they aren’t drying out fast.
@@ameliaameliaworks3678 update, they are still moist! And I've been during them nibs up.
I’m now at the part where you’re talking about the paint markers and the paint pooling into the cap when they’re stored on their side. I’d read that the Liquitex readymade markers also have to be stored on their side, so that’s what I’ve done with mine and I haven’t had a problem with the paint pooling in them. So I don’t know whether this is just a thing with the Montana markers? I’ll continue watching now... :)
I think it's because the Golden high flow is more runny than Montana or liquitex brand paint. So I've been storing them tip up, and 7 days later the nibs are still completely wet and flow instantly. I think I'll just need to keep monitoring them. I might also try storing them on the side but with the nibs just slightly elevated so it can't pool in the cap
@@SarahBurnsStudio This is great news! I think if you're using them regularly, it shouldn't be a problem to store them tip up!
The marker experiments look really interesting. I have a few of those I bought to put acrylic ink in, but I haven't really played with them much. Why don't you try another experiment when you play with them, have some dry brushes and a waterbrush or wet brush handy and after you make a mark you can go in with a brush to draw out the edges and paint more with it. I like your idea of a few just grey markers to do quick tonal studies.
I like the guerilla boxes but they are too heavy for me. I have a real cigar box that can attach to my tripod but I think I'm going to try and make a thin wood box for a new box.
thanks for the great video!
I don't find the 6x8 thumbox very heavy, it's more about what goes into the box lol
@@SarahBurnsStudio probably right, I'm always trying to lighten the load but I like to take lots of color with me. I never bring whole tubes but have a sealable paint tray/container like yours but I think mine is smaller. I think I got the idea of getting one from one of your videos, so thanks! haha, happy painting!
Golden will often send the hand painted color charts for free. Jackson’s probably got them from Golden. I don’t think Jackson’s is doing them.
I’m getting a free one for taking a class with Elizabeth St Hilaire.
Also if you get home and the paints I the pallet are still wet put it in the freezer for the next time. Take the pallet from the freezer when you go it doesn’t take too much time to defrost.
Maybe try Golden liquid acrylics instead of the hiflow to avoid the leakage especially in the big markers.
For acrylic paint, don’t use extending medium, just water.
I know this was two years ago so you might already know but these are defective markers. The foam bit that is the tip has actually been changed. Linda from beginners mind Art mind, RUclips channel actually has a full length RUclips part one and two on these markers alone And talking to the company.
At least I know I'm not the only one who gets paint on my hands. Except I also a bit of a disaster and do things like get paint on a brand new shirt. Yeah, if there is a piece of clothing that doesn't have even just a little paint on it then it isn't mine!
Haha yep...I accepted my fate a long time ago lol
It would help if you identify the marker and the tip for each one at 35:04.
Wasn’t that brown marker that came without the plastic, and not properly closed? I think it’s dried out and you should send it back.
Yes I probably could have but I waited too long
It’s better if you take your time letting the paint flow and it will get activated nicely. Pumping too much only is hard on the nibs and doesn’t make it happen any sooner. Sort of like pressing an elevator button. Enjoy your new toys
You know, marbled-color markers could be a very cool art tool. :) Painting grass with a marker that has two greens and a yellow, something like that?
ETA: I don't know anything about paint markers, but I've always heard that markers in general are supposed to be stored on their sides. :/ So just as a data point....
Haha good point...if I need a multi-colored brush stroke I know what to do!
The skipping can be nice affect in some sketches…
Yea, just not signatures 🥲
How do I get to your wish list?
I think its in the description at the bottom 💙
8:10 - 😱😱😱
LOL yea...
Morning
Hello!
Ill leave them to you. I think ill stick to brushes. Your chosen medium should not make you feel like an idiot. 🤔😁🏴
Some things just take getting used to. So far I'm loving them!
i may be the only artist in the world that loves the smell of alcohol(ic) lol markera
lol!
You really have to shake the paint markers for a good two min. And store them lying flat
I noticed that too. By the way I've been storing them vertical (just as an experiment) and they are still moist/usable.
The Liquitex markers are … not great.
Hmm good to know
