28 years ago ,i did an exhibition in japan . While there i purchased a large paint brush. Today i still use the same brush on every painting. Even know my dog ate the handle off it. Iv never found a better brush since. Japan is quality. The people and there workmanship. From Australia 🦘
I love Japanese art supplies. One of my favorites, as an artist who works with pastels, is Gondola. The laydown is like butter! Pigment rich and so so blendable. I treated myself to them a few days ago, and I cannot put them down. Kuretake Clean Color markers are another favorite of mine, especially the darker earthy tones. I used them to made a set of holiday greeting cards in the style of etegami for my family last year.
Ayanami blue from Turner was actually done as a collaboration with Neon Genesis Evangelion. The colour is modeled after the Character Rei Ayanami, who has striking blue hair in the series. A gorgeous colour inspired by an amazing anime! ❤
Wait! How...HOW...do you not have paint and ink and other stuff all over your drawing board! I have the saame one and it's COVERED! And I am constantly cleaning all my supplies!🤣🤣
You survived the bitey cat at Atlantis then 😂. I went nuts in Sekaido when we visited recently, it was only lack of luggage space that stopped me bankrupting myself!
my main complaint with the Holbein is the drying time, the pigments are nice, but you can't use more than 1 color or it dries on the palette, maybe I will try Turner
I have bought my first gouche due to your inspiring videos and am enjoying it very much. Also the washi tape and stationary is so much fun. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Looking very much forward to your stay in Paris. Much Love ❤ Alana
If you're in London and looking for holbine paints or turner paints, check at Jackson's art in Dalston! Last time I was in the shop they had both available :D (also they do click and collect which is often faster then delivery!)
Lovely video! Japan has THE best art stores ever. I follow a gal named Inky Rocks on YT. She does fountain pens and ink and lives in Japan and shows alot of FP stores there and supplies. I learned about Holbien from you. So interesting. Thanks for sharing. Your art is beautiful! Susan in Az❤️🏜️
Thanks for sharing! I love Japanese art supplies. Holbein is my brand for gouache and acrylic gouache. The polytube (gekkoso gouache tube) is better than aluminum tube. It is soft and easier to squeeze. Im surprised you didnt look at their aluminum palette. Theyre quite famous for that. Bumpodo has produced some really cool palettes too. I have some of them. Im going to Tokyo in May so I wont be able to visit the holbein showroom and gwasendo but that could be my 4th trip to Japan 😆
So cool! I looove Gekkō-sō gouache but I thought I'd love their polytube more (thanks for the proper name! ^^)… always squeeze too much 😆 I did check out their aluminium palette, but I can't stand the noise of brushing or scratching on aluminium, that's too sad. Honestly thinking about going back to Japan again at the end of the year. Their art stores are just too good!
Years convinced that Holbein was German. TIL! Also, there are 2 ways to pronounce «squirrel», British and American where American squishes the word in one syllable while British pronounces it as two syllables. You pronounced it perfectly, so don't worry, your English is impeccable (^--^)
Thank you so much for the video💜 I just wanted to let you know I found some Holbein Acrylic Gouache in Jackson Art Shop at the start of the year, they have a few stores in London
Love the little pause showing the wall that ISN'T decorated😂😂 I used gouache once,but I hated it because the colors I got in an art box didn't go well together. I own 4 tubes of turner acryl gouache but I only did one painting. The cat store looks so cute,I would have probably bought cat stickers..a lot of cat stickers😂 Thanks for showing what you bought😊 I think the big brush you bought will be more useful for watercolor
A very interesting walk-through of different bŕands. I would have liked to see how they mix. As far as I saw it you're using the color strait from the tubes. 🎨👍
You should do a video discussing your take on color theory! Your eye for color is exquisite 😍 I also find it difficult to buy art supplies online. There are too many brands out there and not enough reviews. Do you notice anything when mixing gouaches from different brands? I always wondered about this since the composition of each brand is different and my collection is quite limited.
Thank you so much ❤️ for the gouache, depending on the brands they definitely mix together differently. I currently use Linel, Maimeri, Holbein and Turner together and they do mix up well actually, as their textures are similar. The colours come out really well and don't separate either 😊 and so far, no issue mixing Acryla with traditional gouache either
I use synthetic brushes from Tintoretto and of course the ones from Holbein & Chelsea ^^. I tend to look for soft and fine synthetic hair that have a certain firmness, for easier control 😇
Your work with the flowers and fruit is first class. The texture and the graduated colour of the oranges is a real focus puller particularly against the more monochromatic bowl. And what a score with the washi tape with animals and flora, it is extremely cute indeed. I wonder if there were tapes with cats. I shop online sometimes when I am replacing used supplies, but there is a certain atmosphere in an art supply shop. Inside a shop there is the ability to smell paints, chalks, crayons, pencils, paper, and additives. The store also often has a unique smell made up of all the contents. The other big plus of being at a supply store is the tactility or tangibleness of items. The texture or lack of with paper, boards, canvas, the ergonomics of tools like brushes and knives. Just the ability to feel the resistance or springiness of the brush hairs or monofilaments. And often the opportunity to use a mark maker to see how it works on a surface. Thanks for the video reviewing your purchases and your thoughts on the supplies and stores.
@@pawshire Currently, Blick has them on sale for $6.34 per 20ml tube which is the lowest price that I have seen in a while. So $6.34, which is almost four times more expensive than in Japan, is considered a deal in the US 😒.
At the shop there was an English sign that clarifying that "non transparent watercolor is gouache" on these tubes (it's on my Tokyo art stores video). So these tubes are supposed to be gouache from what the staff told me😊
Such a cool video !! You are coming to France ?? Are you going to make an art supply haul again ? (I'm in Paris and it's so hard not to buy any art supplies when I visit the stores ...😂)
I’m really loving your videos! I just got some turner paint for myself for my birthday (it’s next month but I decide to get then now haha) a 18 set and another 4 tubes, including a big pink one! The colors you choose from holbein look so delicious. I hope I can visit there store in Osaka soon!
@@pawshire I love it, but I only use on details or special parts of the painting! In my city here in Brazil there Is a local art brand that makes a very similar paint it’s not advertise as acrylic gouache just as matte acrylic. Its cheap and the color chart it’s quite exciting! These paints have been my joy for the past 2 years. But definility saving money for more turner in the future. Day dreaming about the japanesque set haha 🥰

You saying "butter" make me want to try! I am not even a pastels person 😆
This was such a relaxing watch :)
Yes you nailed it! Squirrel well done. An enjoyable video, so wish I was able to get to Japan😜
🐿️😝

Oh! When I searched about this colour I indeed saw the Ayanami character everywhere, but I was not sure if it was related… Thanks for the info!
Wait! How...HOW...do you not have paint and ink and other stuff all over your drawing board! I have the saame one and it's COVERED! And I am constantly cleaning all my supplies!🤣🤣
I have another board I use for drafts 🤭🤭
Holbein makes 150 ml sized tubes of their white too!
Oh that's cool!
You survived the bitey cat at Atlantis then 😂. I went nuts in Sekaido when we visited recently, it was only lack of luggage space that stopped me bankrupting myself!
My luggage was also the thing that kept me sane 😎
my main complaint with the Holbein is the drying time, the pigments are nice, but you can't use more than 1 color or it dries on the palette, maybe I will try Turner
It's true! I use a small water spray to keep the paint from drying too fast 👌
You know Jackson’s art supply shop have those
Yes I'm going there next week 😊
what a lovely video 💙 writing down all those art stores for when i go to Japan some day :)
Thank you 😺

Wow! I'm sorry for influencing you to buy gouache 🤣 how have you been been enjoying it?
@@pawshireAll spring oriented with lots of greens and flowers 🌸 🌷😊❤ 🌺

I definitely will this summer! After coming back from London last year so many people kept telling me I should have gone to Jackson's 😆

Hello! What are good brushes to use with acry-gouache? I loved your video, it’s inspired me to buy some paints.
I use synthetic brushes from Tintoretto and of course the ones from Holbein & Chelsea ^^. I tend to look for soft and fine synthetic hair that have a certain firmness, for easier control 😇
@@pawshire thank you so much! I'll look into the ones you've mentioned.

Thank you for your kind comment! Ah yes, the way you describe art stores make me so want to be there right now! ❤️
256 JPY is currently $1.69 USD. If only I could buy Turner and Holbein gouache in the US at those prices! 😭
How much do they sell for in the US?
@@pawshire Currently, Blick has them on sale for $6.34 per 20ml tube which is the lowest price that I have seen in a while. So $6.34, which is almost four times more expensive than in Japan, is considered a deal in the US 😒.
I think you mistook the gekkoso watercolours as gouache which explains why its so pigmented. The kanji 透明水彩 means watercolour
At the shop there was an English sign that clarifying that "non transparent watercolor is gouache" on these tubes (it's on my Tokyo art stores video). So these tubes are supposed to be gouache from what the staff told me😊
But now I'm curious. Is watercolour supposed to be more pigmented than gouache? I had no idea! 🎨

I was in Paris at the end of the year! 😸
@@pawshire awww ok! Hope you enjoyed your time there!!
Please tell me where you found your tabletop easel - it looks like a great size,
I found it in a local store where I am, It's an A2 easel from Danube.
This is so cool!
😺
Oh those colors are beautiful.
You’re so patient to wait three years! Love your videos and art!

Yay more content! 🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
