Hope you guys enjoy the new video! I know you guys have been asking for this one for a while. I spent like about 2 hours linking everything that I mentioned in the description box so hopefully that's helpful 😄 But if you guys have any questions about anything I mentioned you can leave a comment and I'll try to answer it!
i'm not sure if you'll see this, but i would absolutely love to see some of your grandfathers artwork! ive been drawing and painting since i was little, and similar to you, my love for watercolors comes from my grandmother. absolutely LOVE your videos and i totally can't get enough of them!! can't wait for the next one :)
Heard you say you were going to get a new one, but did you know you can buy ecoline in bottles and refill the brushpens with it? Nice video and paintings! Thanks, soo fun to watch 😊
I just bought a wooden palette myself and am currently in the process of prepping it. Every week I am coating my palette in a very thin layer of linseed oil for a period of 2 month. After some time it will become very sleek and the paint won’t seep into the palette as much. Hope that helped! :)
Years ago one of my grandmas told me a week before she died DON'T SAVE YOUR FAVORITE THINGS FOR GOOD. She said that is what she had done and she said now I'm going to die and somebody else will use the good perfumes the pretty nightgowns and nice handkerchiefs and lovely stationery and she was correct. She never did. She was saving them
Your hand writing had me geeking out for like 5 minutes. I stopped the video and got super close to my TV like, “Holy crap. Her hand writing.” 💕 This video has me inspired to share all the supplies I have as well! 💕
Girl- rip open that packet of Arches paper! I used to do the same- save it for something special. But then, I decided I would use Arches for all things I knew I was going to keep, and only used other paper for practice. Good watercolor paper is a game changer! Treat yourself!
You can seal the wooden one with a polycoat! I sealed mine with some that I got from Lowe's in a spray paint style can, and it's amazing! I can even mix watercolors on it
I love the color palette that you chose for your watercolor markers! Also, If you’re investing in gouache I highly recommend Windsor and Newton Designer’s Gouache! If you like the Cotman paints, you’ll love their gouache and the color selection is really good.
That’s so funny, in the skillshare section you were taking a class with Sara Boccaccini Meadows- we went to the same school and I knew her sister really well. They’re both incredibly talented!
you should do a painting on the wood palette. its pretty. i would feel the same way. i always use plastic bowls ect from the deli or food delivery. that way they get a second use its not so wasteful and i dont feel bad about tossing them. Use that expensive paper and live your best life.
Omg I’ve never seen YOU in a video your so pretty omg I love your hair and your skin is so clear❤️❤️❤️ And I also love your aesthetic and your the one who got me in to watercolor and art in general❤️ so thank you 🙏
OMG I’m actually here on the day this is posted! I love your videos so much! You inspired me to decorate my room, start art and a bullet journal! I also got skillshare ❤️
The ecoline pens are refillable with the bottles of ecoline liquid watercolour. This works out as a cheap refil. You won't need to throw away the pens till the nibs get damaged.
I have that wooden palette too! It came with my easel forever ago and I still haven't used it, I'm too scared 😂 Might research how to prep it now that you've reminded me...
Lovely video. I always find your videos so relaxing! The brand Utrecht is named after a city in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands we pronounce the u and the ch very differently then English speaking people haha! It is a difficult word to pronounce for someone who doesn’t know the Dutch language. But I like it better the way you say it, we say the ch so harsh, you make it sound better, a bit softer. I like it!
Love your video and your products, let alone your handwriting!SUperBiouS!Can you please do a video with that script lettering I would love to learn how to do that to do some song verses or just cool sayings 😎💛🌻
This video came just in time! I'm taking a watercolor class next weekend for the first time so this definitely helped me narrow my search for supplies :) thanks for sharing and swatching!
I messed up an expensive brush with acrylic paint pretty badly and actually got it back by wiping it off bit by bit with the same brush cleaner you have. It took me a while because I didn't want to ruin the bristles by being too harsh, but I tried to get a bit off acrylic out each day and i kida started from one side cleaning a few bristles and made my way to the other side... and after 2 weeks it came off entirely, i can't tell the difference
Seeing the state of some of your brushes pains me, please, please rinse them in water right after you use them. You may think it doesn't matter but cleaning them from a dried state will damage the bristles long term and you'll need to buy new brushes all the time. Just get in the habit of keeping a big jar of water next to your painting area. You also shouldn't leave them standing in the water bristles down because that will warp the bristles. So my tip is just: Jar of water and an old piece of fabric or cloth folded up next to it. So if you're swapping between brushes you can quickly rinse one off and set it down on the cloth where it won't get water all over your stuff. I hope this helps
Hi! Washi tape is actually not really meant to be used with painting. The reason it's peeling up your paper when it happens is because the adhesive in the washi tape -- especially the high quality MT washi tape -- is interacting with the water in the paints and basically becoming stickier and forming a bond with the paper. I try to discourage people from using washi as a masking tape as much as possible, but I keep seeing people doing it anyway. 😔 I definitely recommend using that artist's masking tape you got -- or buy some painter's tape. The trick to getting any tape you use to lift without tearing your paper is to stick it to your pants or shirt a few times and take a little of the tack off of it. It doesn't stop it from doing its job, it just makes it less adhesive and helps it lift more cleanly. I reuse my artist's tape until it stops sticking or gets too much paint on it and I'm worried about the paint coming off the tape and getting in my current painting. As for that little bit of seepage you had going on with the artist's tape, what happened was that you had an area that was not stuck down well or that got creased when you put it down. To ensure this doesn't happen in the future, grab a ruler or a bone folder and run it down each piece of tape you put down. It ensures you have full adhesion. The reason your washi tape doesn't allow much seepage is because of what I originally said, the washi has an adhesive that interacts with moisture -- in a negative way -- and forms a bond with the paper. At least, MT washi tape does. The seal on MT washi tape is strong! I've had some washi tapes that have very poor adhesive and if you were using those with water they would likely lift off the paper altogether. So while that bond does help keep the paint out from under the tape, it also makes the tape stick to the paper and tear it up when you remove it. The artist's tape will work just fine if you take the tack off of it by sticking it to a fabric first and then ensure that you run a straight edge along each piece to ensure a tight seal. Sorry to ramble and hope I didn't come across negatively. I'm only trying to help! 😊
PoppyFox this was very helpful thank you! Yeah I definitely think I just need to make sure the artist tape is fully pressed down next time before painting. Going to try it out again next time I paint and see what happens. Thanks for your suggestion! 🙂
Jenny Journals you are very welcome and I’m glad to have been a help! That was definitely my intent. Just run a ruler over that tape and it should seal just fine! Good luck and thank you for sharing your beautiful artwork with us! You’re very inspirational! 😘
Can’t believe you don’t take better care of your brushes…It only takes a minute to clean a brush…You should only buy first tear brushes, that way you can toss them after you use them since you don’t have time to clean them…TIP: Use Murphy’s Oil (buy it at the grocery store) to get dried on paint out of brushes…Another suggestion, stick to “water color” paint witch suits your age and incline not to take care of your brushes…

Lena Wait you’re supposed to prep it? I’ve been using mine for about a year and it’s going strong. I might have prepped it a bit. I’m not sure🤷♀️

I'm happy that you use Artist Loft paper. It is a good affordable brand. ❤️
I really enjoyed your video. I loved your collection and hearing how you've gone about acquiring them.

Love your video and your products, let alone your handwriting!SUperBiouS!Can you please do a video with that script lettering I would love to learn how to do that to do some song verses or just cool sayings 😎💛🌻
You should put a waterproof layer or primer on the wooden palette so the paint doesn't seep through

This was really helpful! I’ve been figuring out what type of paper I should get so now i know hehe Great video as always
Omg I'm always on the hunt for the perfect watercolor bowl too! It's a freakin obsession !!

I also have some ecoline brush pens, but I didn't even know that you can use it that way with water xd.
Thanks so so so much for sharing!❤️
I'm no expert but I think it's better to store markers horizontally, that should help with the dry black
Is that a dreamy moons pillow?!!! 😳🙌🙌

Wow i have only 3 colours of Ecolines brushpens... they are expensive but worth it!😍❤
I’ve never seen you before. You are adorable!

Ecoline markers are refillable. You don't need to buy a new one, just the dropper bottle of black
Don't buy a new ecoline pen ! Just buy a ecoline bottle and refill it ^^
Hppy quarantine feels artists!!! Honestly doesn't matter coz as an artist I haven't left my home in 3 months anyway!!!! Like if u relate

EARLY SQUAD✨🙌
Skillshare is always 2 months free for first timers
This is the first time I’ve seen your face and it’s honestly not what I thought you’d look like at all
