❤️😱Have you seen my limited edition Salty Plushie Squishy fidget kit? shopnerdecrafter.com/
Ordered mine! ❤️🧂❤️
Hi nerdecrafter I've seen your squishy fidget kit. Ilove it so much. But not more than I love you in your sister sika. I hope you guys have a wonderful day. And a wonderful year. With lots of love Julia
Why, yes I have!
I have seen it ……🙂
Yes I have and it's amazing ❤
Remember you have to pick a cool blue and a cool red or a warm read and warm blue to get a good purple. Mixing purple can be annoying lol
litterally came into say this
Was about to say this too!
I've missed you creating. Go at whatever pace you need hun. I love the crafty videos but your health comes first. ♡
Agreed!
Exactly what I've been thinking these last days!
Take Care Jackie (and everyone else ;)) we're still here for you :)
I totally agree
Agree 💯😊
more water and less pigment, Jackie :D Yes these are watercolors...have seen reviews of these paints...they are pretty awesome. Try the pastel pink and pastel blue for a nice purple. Your red has too much orange undertone
Exactly this. You need magenta and blue to make purple since red also has yellow in it, hence you end up with browm
This is what I was going to say! You could see when she was diluting the crimson that it was turning orange- way too much yellow pigment in there to make purple!
@DarkRoast LMAO me too
Exactly. Since yellow is across from purple on the color wheel, any yellow in the red or the blue will muddy the resulting purple. You want to avoid any red that leans to orange or blue that leans to green when mixing the two for a brighter purple.
Where do you get these?
Definitely look into how paint colors mix, it isn't the same as you'd expect from just the idea of red + blue = purple. A lot of paints magenta is closer to the "red" you use for mixing colors than a traditional red that we think of.
You should compare those watercolors to Peerless watercolor papers which were originally developed in 1885 for coloring photographs. They are still sold today.
Exactly what I was wondering! They look very similar- very concentrated!! I got a set a while ago- I am going to bring them out and play with them! (Ps anybody looking for them in Canada, Opus Art Supplies carries them).
The bottle green and peacock blue both look like crushed gems. Wow. Gorgeous colours! I'm gobsmacked by them.
No need to apologize, you let us watch Your Creative Process (thank you!)
Also, the way You make Art isn't Wrong! Your Art, Your Way! 🤩
I found you because you were recommended after I watched an Evan and Katelyn video. A few seconds into your video you threw a box behind you and did a head nod, I subscribed immediately. That made me giggle and I just loved it! Then found all the rest of your handles and followed, subscribed, liked, the whole nine! 💜 Nice to see you crafting 🤓
Aww thank you so much 🥺❤️❤️❤️
@@NerdEJackieVlogs Your welcome so much
i am thrilled you’ve posted another artsy craftsy video. they are my favorites ‼️😘 thank you for making my spring equinox extra special‼️
It didn't even occur to me to send them out without colouring them lol. I sees a blank colouring page, I put colour on it. Lol. Thinking about it though, if I knew the person I was sending it to was a fan, I'd probably leave it. If it was just going to someone otherwise, I'd colour it to make it more special and personalized for whomever I was sending it to.
I've missed you crafting and creating stuff. Bring back more crafty content please.
I've just got started in watercolor, especially the metallics. I'm finding it very enjoyable
I believe these paints are more dye-based rather than most higher level watercolors which are pigment based. They are totally great for what you are doing but may stain and also may fade if you have them in sunlight for too long.
Dies are a type of pigments.
It was so nice seeing you relax and enjoy trying something new, and I think you did a great job! Even though it wasn't the purple you wanted, I think it ended up so earthy and lovely in the final painting. Colour theory can be misleading to the uninitiated. Cyan and Magenta make a perfect purple, whereas your typical reds and blues usually make quite a dusky dark greyish purple like the one you created. It was the bane of my purple-loving existence in high school, before I could afford my own paints and only used the school ones, that I could never make a perfect purple haha!
Man braking a dragon... I laughed and was like hercules and the lion. :) Love the relaxed jackie. Missed your posting here
Jackie, there is no wrong way to make art. If it makes you happy or leaves you feeling good, you're doing it right.
A 100,years ago when I was a kid we had coloring books that had the paint on the paper. You just activated the paint with water and a paint brush. These paints are so much better!
I had those growing up I think they were called magic coloring books just add water or something like that
These colors are so well named. My absolute favourite is that bottle green 🤩
Two Jackies on one Sunday?! Dreams do come true! 😍😆
🥺❤️
Happy to see you creating again.
As for the question When I sent out these kind of cards I always color in some bits but leave the rest open for the recipient to color in upon receiving. Like a mini-colab. :}
Plus I loved that there was a card for every day from a variety of artists.
I found a RUclips channel called Let’s Make Art and they have fantastic watercolor tutorials!! I used to hate watercolor because I just never understood it.
To be fair I’ve not used the paper paint stuff or the water brush. I feel like that would be a whole different level of learning curve.
Seriously though, Sarah Cray from Let’s Make Art has an AMAZING way of educating about watercolor! There’s a tutorial series for the basics, not super time consuming at all. PLUS she does children’s projects too, so it’s a less intimidating place to start. So much fun if you really want to try it out!
I love watercolors. My absolute favorite medium. Jackie- never worry that you are doing art “wrong!” I tell my son all the time that with art there is no “wrong!” You do you- create- pour out your heart and soul… and most importantly… just have fun! Love this video, Jackie!! 🐍❤️😊
Honestly, you're doing just fine with watercolors! I started off messing around just like you're doing, but in coloring books. Color mixing in practice is really weird to learn at first. I think the pink + blue might be a better combination for purple. In watercolor, there's basically warm primaries and cool primaries, and they can be used to mix a lot more colors. The red and the blue you were using essentially neutralized each other to make that grey. If you're not up for learning all about color mixing right away, just try another color from the color family and see if it gets you closer to what you want. Oh, and just change one color at a time, and stick to one of the original colors you picked. Hope this makes sense. Also with the waterbrush, if you want to take it with you anywhere, you can clean it with a paper towel or a cloth and squeezing the barrel a little bit at a time to clean the bristles. Seriously though, just have fun! ☺
Another thing I will add is some of these are already blended pigments and since you don't know what they are it's hard to predict how they will react to each other.
Emma Jane Lefebvre is an amazing watercolor artist & has a TON of tutorials (her on youtube) ranging from basics to more advanced techniques.
As someone who ends up bedbound a lot, I love her... while it's admittedly more difficult to use watercolors while in bed, I still managed, and even improved quite a bit just by utilizing what she taught!
She's definitely worth looking up and watching if learning how to watercolor is desired! (And, she teaches which colors make "mud" and which make gorgeous colors).
It's all based on this: two "cool-toned" or two "warm-toned" colors work well together, but a cool tone and a warm tone will create a muddy version of what you want. Your red had too much "warmth" with the orange undertones to go with that cool-tone blue. Don't be harsh on yourself for an honest beginner's issue! Wet-on-wet is also super hard to master. Add in the difficulty of using a water-brush instead of traditional watercolor paint brushes (which tend to "hold" more liquid in the bristles), and ... you well, you get it lol. You did AMAZING, tbh.
I've wanted to play with Vivia paints, but just haven't justified the cost to myself for my "dabbling".
Loved this video, Jackie, and wish I could gift you the "free time" I have.
I second this comment and was going to recommend Emma too, especially her color mixing vid.❣
I love how evenly ground the pigments were, you can tell even over the camera how finely the pigments used to make them are crushed.
Go watch Lindsey, the frugal crafter. She is an amazing watercolorist and has TONS of videos showing different techniques.
At one point she was also on that thing that sometimes sponsors you and also sponsors Jazza where you can get lessons from different people. Sorry I can't remember the name of it. It's the place where Jazza gives at lessons.
So glad you took the time to do this. I'm not into unboxing but then I don't have to watch, which I, unfortunately, have stopped doing.
I just had SO much fun! Thank you so much for sharing this experience with us grains and so good to see you enjoying yourself so much - your laughter and joy are contagious in such a good way. The colors on this are beautiful and I was mesmerized watching you go through the swatches - your snek came out wonderfully! And I"m so happy we got to go on this journey with you, thank you so very much!
The colorsheets look really handy! I love how pigmented they are. I don't know if the brush is suitable for this technique, but if you add too much color, you can theoretically use a cleaned brush to lift it off the paper.
Watercoloring does take practice. Lindsay weirich the frugal crafter has some good basic watercolor tutorials. You did really well for "first time". A good purple is magenta(think pink) and blue but your purple worked out great. Love your painting.
Tfs.
I love your vibe and jokes. You always make my day. I too have quite a few of illnesses and am in pain all the time. It gives me strength and hope to see your video's. Gives me strength and positivity. Thank you Jackie. Give Ramsey and Splinter a hug for me and of course Angel birb. ❤️🧡💛💚
Jackie! This could be a series.. learn to watercolor with Jackie!😍
You were ending up with brown instead of purple because the red you chose was an orangey red and the blue was also yellow leaning, so you’d always end up with a brown as you’re basically mixing a red and blue that both lean yellow. You needed to chose a red and a blue that were more primary to get a true purple (or mix a warm blue with a cool red alternately).
Waah what a cutie! I love the snek! It's a ball python. They're my favourite, I love their littl... waaah an octopus! ♡♡♡
I'm also a Katvalk fan, so of course I love all of her pieces too.
If you love snakes, check out Clint's Reptiles and Snake Discovery. They're AMAZING channels with some of the cutest sneks and lizards around!! ♡
Make sure when you’re mixing, you’re paying attention to the undertone of the colors. You mixed a “cool” blue with a “warm” red, so the resulting purple came out muddier than it seemed that you intended. Most “mixing” watercolor sets include 2 yellows, 2 blues, and 2 reds specifically because it includes a warm and cool undertone version of each color. This goes into color theory if you’re interested.
Only found your channels recently and am obsessed! As an older crafter who is stuck indoors most of the time due to health issues, it’s great to find such fun and friendly entertainment and creativity. Keep up the fantastic work and I’m sending hugs ❤
Can I just say that I color with markers that can give me the same feelings of saturation. I LOVE the feelings I get as well and some are frame able after I add highlights with gold and/or silver. I found out last Christmas that my daughter has been a grain of salt for years before me. We both love you!❤❤😍😍
Thank you Jackie. Your videos helped to inspire me to take up drawing again. At 63 I can now draw an apple. I draw everyday. It took me a while but I can make a pretty good one now. Your video's are very entertaining . This is my son's old computer.
Hi Jackie!
I'm no colorwheel expert, but I think the reason you found it so hard to create a good purple is you were trying to mix RGB colors. Art on paper, printed or otherwise made with inks and paints, uses CMYK colors.
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is how the cones in our eyes detect lightwaves, and also the color model used on computer screens. RGB is an "additive" color model, in which white is the combination of all primary colored lights and black is the absence of light.
CMYK refers to the ink plates used in standard color printing: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Key (black).
CMYK is a subtractive color model, and works by layering colors on a lighter, usually white, background. The ink reduces/subtracts the light that would otherwise be reflected, so white is the natural color of the paper, and black results from a full combination of colors.
In the RGB model, mixing red and blue makes purple. That's correct.
But in the CMYK model, magenta and cyan make purple, while red is a mix of magenta and yellow (add more yellow to reach orange) and blue is a deeper cyan (either concentrated/layered cyan pigment, or a mix of cyan and black). That's why if you mix red and blue ink, you end up with brown or gray instead.
I absolutely love vivia water colour paper! Totally changed how I can get such intense colours. Can use with a pallete if you need to use with more water. Definitely recommend. So glad you have used this Jackie.. love what you do, thankyou for bringing the grains together! X
This is adorable! it's cool to see you enjoy yourself!. The purple didn't work not because you don't know your colors, but because you used the wrong red! One thing I learned in art school was that even primary colors have variations, and if you want to create a beautiful secondary color you need to be aware of that. Purple is a cool color, which means yo need a cooler red to mix with a warmer blue to create a pretty purple!
Same goes with other secondary colors, you need a cool yellow and a warm blue to create a nice green. I hope that makes sense! Watercolors are very difficult but they're my fave technique and def worth trying!
When it comes to watercolor my all time favourite artist is Danica Sills, she has a few tutorials, and also I learnt a lot just from watching her painting as well. And her art is just beautiful 🥺
Kasey Golden, an artist who uses both RUclips and Twitch, does a ton with watercolor! You may be able to learn more about different techniques and the water to pigment ratio by watching her.
I'm incredibly happy to see another video where you create, Jackie! I really enjoyed the colors you used too. Sending love your way from Ohio!
Jackie, my mom and I had Christmas cards like this. We colored them. That way not only did the people get a cute card , but also a piece of art from us. So color then that is the whole point of these kind of things.
I like that you chose purple, one of the hardest color to make look right
It's fun to hear you enjoying those colors. I fell in love with those also. I had no idea either, but was enjoying with you also
I would color before sending! It is like a note and a gift all in one! 💚💚
These are some beautiful water colors and drawings!! I'm also not very familiar with watercolors, but I still enjoy doing it occasionally! It's not about being perfect, just enjoying yourself. ❤ Thank u for another fun video!!
Well done!! But but but, (before I say it). You need to do this...
Jackie, this is ART!!! Art gets done on your nerde crafter channel. You did a splendid job on the water colors!!
Do art on that channel!!
You can figure it out!! Doot doot Doo!
Those colors are STUNNING! I wonder how long they will last. I just bought a new tray of colors and used it the first time only to get a big dent in one color. Cheated. These are definitely interesting.
I backed these on indigogo years ago and they’re still going strong. They’re not my everyday watercolours but I use them for travelling and there’s still a good amount of pigment left on them. I don’t know how many big paintings you’d get out of them but I’ve done probably 15+ 4x6” paintings over the years.
@@lisahoshowsky4251 Thank you! That's good to know. I honestly feel like these colors are exceptional.
Oh wow those greens 😍
I love the whole idea of the cards of colours
I love how Jackie took the time to appreciate the artists of the postcards, and not just look at the art. And watching her get excited at colours made me really happy too. I love Jackie.
Also, to make a good watercolour purple with really dark red and a normal blue you should use only a tiny bit of red with a lot of blue. You can get pastelness by adding a little bit of white which you didn’t have but you an replace that with the happy yellow. The key to making a good color is to go slow.
My favorite picture was the double moon by Michele and her snake was cute too. I would make a copy of the ones I like so I can color them myself but send the blank card to the person so they can color it in their style.
Oh I backed these when they just started out in kickstarter, they are great fun and very portable indeed! And yes, they are watercolors!
If you wanted a pastel purple you definitely need to start with light blues and reds. The thing with watercolor pigments is that as you mix pigments together, you end up with very dull, blackish colors. So you’ll definitely want to use light colors, and also use less pigment.
Those colors are beautiful 😍 ✨ ❤ it is like a surprise I do like using watercolors these brushes remind me of those coloring books that were actually watercolors
That was pretty cool. Idk anything about watercolors, but to me, it turned out pretty good
Loved the red and yellow leaves with the green snek 🖤 Line the black lines after watercolor! Think it would make everything BOLD 🖤
Awesome job. It's great to see you trying new things and having fun! I love trying new things too. Experimenting and seeing how they work & just having fun. I'm going to get your Fidget toy box for sure. Can't wait to have my own salty squishy sitting on my desk with my other toys....Keep up the great stuff, but look after yourself too. I'm off to my local art supply store to look for some new water paints to buy coz you've just inspired me......Love & hugs from Down Under!!!!🐨🐨🦘🦘🦜🦜
Thrilled to see you back here but self care comes first. We love you where ever we find you. Kattvalk only did some of the art work. If she had done it all, I would have bought it.
Oooh, I've had Viviva colours for years, and the pigment is just fantastic. Also, some of the sheets are so pretty that I've been reluctant to use them.
During every watercolour course I've taught, I've done some shameless promoting of Viviva to my students, leaving most of them in love with the paints as well.
How long do they last for you?? For me they barely last i feel like a sheet lasts one painting
these are in fact watercolours. I had a set of these, but because they reactivate very easily, I don't like them as much as my other watercolours :)
For someone who doesn't have much experience with watercolour I would recommend you use a regular paint brush, as it's easier to control how much water you have on your brush, because a waterbrush always has some waterflow, which makes it hard to be consistent. Also, I find it hard to mix a purple using red and blue. It's easier when you have a magenta or permanent rose pigment to mix into your blue :)
And my No. 1 Tip: don't be afraid to experiment with your watercolours.
This reminds me of coloring pages when I was a kid. Some of them came with watercolor squares you could use to paint the pictures with.
I paint with water colour all the time and what I learnt from is this no wrong way to use it really. It's up to preference on how to use it and it's quite flexible in my opinion ☺️
But I recommend to go to light to dark when painting because it's easier to build up the colour and shadows, other than that I say play with the paint and find a way you enjoy to paint with it
I just found this channel, I love the content here Jackie! It's nice to see you get creative and artsy! You have a certain freedom I vibe with
Mixing pink and blue makes a lovely purple 😊
You excitement is warranted! These watercolors are beautiful!
Hahaha, it was so fun watching you play with these watercolors. I still have most of my postcards to paint, oops.
Your muddy color mix when trying to make the purple could be the particular pigment mixes in the colors. Some just don't react well together. It might have something to do with the high concentration of pigment required for the sheets to work. Since purple is a cool tone you might want to start with your blue and mix small amount of a really light red. Like with your pink paint.
The wet on wet is a really nice try! My advice is to start with light washes of color and build up your layers after to avoid dark patches. Start on your edges and drag it in to unpainted areas to make a gradient avoiding areas already with paint so you don't get those lines where they touch. You want to work quick because if part of it dries while doing wet on wet you get patches.
When you started mixing, I was reminded of my favorite childhood story "The Color Kittens" an old little golden book that I've had forever and still read to my son all taped up and faded.
It was great to see you try something different and experiment and create! ❤❤❤❤
Geez Louise those are marvellous colors... I really want those 😍
❤️ love the snake you painted
Thank you Jackie for the heart ❤️I really like you and Sika I miss her😢
So happy to see you relaxing with art in your comfy NerdEJackie form. This looks beautiful and has so much potential. I’m also really glad you have put mail unboxing compilations here on RUclips, as someone who doesn’t have Instagram. I actually debated getting it just for your content.
As for your recent announcement, as a fairly salty ADHDer myself, I will be trying to scrounge up $29.
Those colors are beautiful, especially the blues and greens!
If I were to send these to a friend, I would send them 2; one that I colored, and one for them to color. That way you're engaging in the activity together.
You don't need to apologize if you don't know how to use art supplies. As long as you are having fun and stress free time you are using it the right way. Big hus and take care of self.
I really have fun watching your video. I'm studying art in university, and I'm really into watercolor. I have this product and it's gorgeous but you have to know that they have produce two other palette (one with glitter effects) and they also have notebook. The paper is thick and perfect for watercolor!!
Finally got to watch this and oh my! I now have a mighty need xD. I've always enjoyed watercoloring, but never got the chance to really get into it (among other things because it can be a bit expensive to get started).
I like seeing you get creative and showing stuff you care for. If you want and have the time, keep posting your creativeness 💜.
Wow, water color papers are amazing, and you did great! I missed you doing art stuff, so this made my day.
Two videos from Jackie what a glorious day x
Not an artist in any shape or form, but I do know several water color artist and these seem perfect for travel. One loves to go to the site and paint there instead of taking a picture and trying to recreate it later.
I now want watercolors!!! 😃 😊 looks very relaxing ❤
Decided to rewatch these after the reveal of the awesome colouring book =) You always bring the best vibes=)
Less water, smaller amounts ( like dots) of the paint or thin lines around the edge. it will bleed and flow where the water is. Trick is when you wet your area to paint , lift the paper, and you should see a shine but not a puddle. So if the water is dripping off the paper when you tilt is , dab gently with paper towel and reapply a small amount of water. Always, always less is more. I learned from another Canadian RUclips @EmmaJaneLefebvrewatercolour She lives in Ontario and coincidentally also used to be a teacher. BTW I love your sense of adventure and joy when trying anything new or old. Joy is what arts and crafts are all about. ❤❤❤❤
I am so excited to see you doing crafty thingies again yay
I’d love to see more crafty stuff again! No matter what it is. Even if it’s on your second channel instead of your main channel. I can understand if you’re getting better views with the fidget toy reviews on your main channel but you got me into polymer clay and I’d love to see more videos from you on that!
My old heart likes this "2014-in-spirit" channel. Gonna buy that awesome salt shaker set for my awesome gf. It's honestly surprising me that the colour swatch doesn't match by now. Would totally love to see you work more with watercolours. I'm working on learning them myself, and I already have your other channel's videos on loop while I draw sometimes so....
The problem is you used a cool blue and a warm red. The warm red leans toward orange and has a little yellow in it, the blue leans toward turquoise and has a little green in it. That tiny bit of yellow in the red will give you mud when mixed with blue. The tiny bit of green in the blue will give you mud when mixed with red. It's a really great way to make neutrals/grays/browns. To make a true purple you need a cool red, such as one made from PV19, Permanent Rose or Permanent Magenta. Add the cool red to a warm or neutral blue such as ultramarine, or french ultramarine and you'll get a beautiful purple.
I have these and absolutely love them! They are very vibrant and last way longer than you would think! Also I am soooo glad to see you arting here again!!
I love "Bottle Green", its like the color of a Heineken bottle lol
Loved seeing you create sth :). I'm struggling with chronic pain (and mental issues, but meh), too, so I get why you're not doing more of it though. Watercoloring isn't too bad on the hands though, so go for it ;P.
I 've got the basic set of the viviva color sheets from a scrawlrbox and love them. Just bought the spring set last week, can't wait for it to arrive. Little tip: The label boxes are actually for swatching on them. This way you always have your swatches with you.
I am not a watercolor artist for sure. But I would love to learn on those sheets!! That’s so cool I couldn’t resist. Try it Jackie! You can’t get better without trying.
I have missed seeing you be artsy and also the coffee talk. Hope your back is feeling better
Really enjoyed relaxing with you ... Those paints looked really fun and beautiful ... Glad you're back on this channel being artsy with us ... Love ya Jackie
For not being a watercolor artist, you're a quick learner at it! 😊🥰
15:00 what Jackie describes us a turkish dessert called rahat-lokum, low-calories and simple to make.
Such a rollercoaster watching you trying to make that purple! lol😆
I don't judge though because I don't really know anything about watercolor.
Happy Sunday, Jackie! 😊✌💚
I just picked up watercolors myself. It is changing but fun. I love all the colors. You should go for it. I miss watching you do crafts. By the way I don't know what I'm doing either but that shouldn't stop us😁
I love this it was so relaxing and cheerful. Literally needed this good energy 😌
Jackie I'm so excited to spend some time with you here. I've really miss this time together. Thank you for taking the time to put your viewer mail openings together so that us RUclips purists can enjoy it. LOL
