I don't know if anyone commented this already or told you in another way since this is an older video but you can buy Polychromos and Albrecht Dürer pencils individually so don't be afraid to use them, you don't have to buy a whole new set to replace a single pencil 😇
Yep, fully aware of that... in fact there's a shop with me video on my channel in an art shopping picking open stock Polychromos. I'm definitely not afraid to use them 🥰
Hi Pixie! 👋🏻 Wish the prices were the same now! Seems like buying pencils over the last 20 years has been a better investment than putting the money into a savings account 😂
What a fun pencil collection video. Use the pencils you are afraid to waste. Otherwise it’s like fine China just looking pretty in the China cabinet. I use my Royal Doulton and I color with the expensive pencils. It’s all about enjoyment. Love your videos 💖🇨🇦
Hi Louise 👋🏻 Thanks for watching and the lovely comment and I totally agree! Apart from the watercolour pencils, which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I have used (and use) all of them (well perhaps not every single pencil lol!). I did used to be “afraid to waste them” when I got some of the sets but that was back then, I use and love them now. Life’s short!
Thank you for sharing your coloured pencil collection and your memories of them. I'm new to colouring and I've enjoyed watching your videos. You don't have that many coloured pencils compared to some I've seen and they are clearly all meaningful for you. I already have a number of these and it's nice to hear both your memories and opinions.
Thanks Holly! My husband thinks I have a lot lol! But I have built my "collection" up over a number of years. Welcome to the World of Colouring.... it's a wonderful hobby :)
I have a very similar case for my Brutfuner squares. It is shame you don't use your supplies. I really try to use my supplies and I try to buy what I don't mind replacing but on the other hand I prefere lightfast products so I plan to buy Polychromos or ask for a christmas gift from my hubby, maybe this winter. I love your collection tough, but if I got them so affordable, I would get the full use of them.
Hi Katarina! I do use my supplies! The only pencils I haven’t really used are the Derwent ones I was gifted. When you have so many different brands you don’t wear any down to stubs so quickly.
@@ArtJourneyUK sorry, they seem so new so I got the feeling they don't get used often. But I'm also aware that some supplies wear slowly. Epsecially if you have so many. But I do know how precious we get about supplies when we feel we cannot replace them. I had a big worry after the Brexit, I just got hooked on ordering from Jackson's, I got 18 schmincke set and was terrified I will not have a shop to order replacements from so I quickly ordered Mijello mission gold.
@@katarinaholik I like to keep my things neat and in order and I’ve quite few shorter green pencils! I’ve replaced quite a few of my Prismacolors over the years. I’m really lucky that I got most of my collection when they were cheaper, I couldn’t afford all of them now! Enjoy your paints!
This was so much fun to watch! I really enjoyed the history of them, I have such a bad memory it is impressive that you know so much about how/when/where/why you got them. After I got to thinking about how fast colors fade, I regret buying a lot of the pencils I have. Maybe someday they will be collectors items. lol
Hi 👋🏻 I didn’t quite get all the dates right but I do remember a lot (or too much as my husband says 😂) Which pencils do you regret? I don’t make any artwork outside of colouring books (or journals) so lightfastness hasn’t bothered me really.
@@ArtJourneyUK I am not making anything outside of coloring books either, yet, but I read a comment about someone coloring with their children and they could already see it had faded, Sarah Renae Clark has a color chart/swatch that she has to redo, some one made a comment on the Art Gear Guide? about giving a gift that his parents had framed and how bad he felt about what he used to make it. I know nothing I make is important but if I manage something I actually like I don't want to regret the pencils I used. lol So I regret most of the not lightfast ones. I don't regret the Crayola ones because I grew up when the 64 box of crayons was so amazing and I just felt I needed to have them no matter how bad they might be. lol I don't regret the Kalour, I think it might have been first and it let me know I did like using colored pencils. But I sure didn't need the Deli or Starjoys. There are more but I just don't remember what all I have. I pretty much went nuts I think. I will donate a lot someday, I hope.
Thank you for sharing this - It's lovely and has helped me this week - with other content of yours - to keep cheerful in a difficult week and you have said things across the videos that have reminded me why I do art - and how i use stuff - I was moving towards better quality stuff - and I do have painful hands - so move between different art mediums - your comments about being frightened to use pencils resonated because I have just upgraded to include some rather awful Prismas - I haven't even swatched them and I am very disappointed and they are on the shelf already - last night I was happily swatching Brutfunners and Arrtx and I suspect I will send the Prismas back - I might re buy at another point in time - but at the moment they aren't doing anything to make me feel happy. Hope the new bigger camper van is fun for you guys :) I did chuckle though at the 'pencil tourism' idea - we are well down south but have a haulage business and I thought to myself ' hum I could do a trip in the lorry next time he goes 'up north' ...' LOL Thank you :)
I love both Brutfuners and Arrtx more than Prismcolors... and I'm not afraid to use them! When I bought my first set of Brutfuners, they were just a £20 set of 120 pencils on Amazon, I thought they'd be... basic. But was pleasantly surprised! I'm sorry you've had a difficult week, hopefully the next one might be better 🥰
@@ArtJourneyUK Can’t believe how little you paid for them too... I’d kill for them but they’re over $300 NZD for Derwent box sets in NZ... (and up to $1000 for Polychromos!!! (when Polychromos are under $300-400 in Aussie), we get soooo ripped off in NZ! But doooo swatch those Graphitints and Derwent Drawing Pencils, they’re my fave... they are sooo delicious to use and the colours are amazing! Derwent are my fave pencil supplier now...I love their pencils... and their smell... I LOVE the Derwent smell!
Charles is on YT.. and he has a ton of videos, puts a new one out about twice a month, flipping between watercolor and acrylic. He's a hoot. I always imagine him showing up at some posh artist events and embarrassing everyone in the room lol.
Been looking at the faber castell Alberich Dura water color 120 set but as you say they a have gone up crazy price. waiting for Black Friday as you say however deals aren't as good as they used to be
When u have a lot of pencils u wont have them going to a stub unless it's a favourite color in a set. Leave her alone some of u are borderline rude. She works hard let her buy what she wants if ur easily offended that u don't have as much save up to treat yourself or just keep ur negative comments to yourself. We are alike my dear I actually love using my pencils but hate when they go down so most of my work I use an alcohol marker as a base to not wear my pencils down. Love ur content. Keep shopping... you enable me and I LOVE IT!!!
Lily I loved this video 😍😍 I absolutely loved Whsmith back in the day! I remember getting into that store and heading straight to the art and stationery section (still do) 🤣😁 I had a whole load of Derwent tinned and actually a few years back like yours and gave them to my nephew. I can only Imagine how much some of them are now worth not to mention the sentimental attachment / memories of when you received (purchased) them! Thankyou for bringing back fond memories and sharing your collection with us all!! Ps. I love your pencil set up area 💛👍🏻
Hi Hels! I love WHSmith too! Was always my favourite “back to school” shop... and it sells books and games and jigsaws... utopia! 😂 I can’t believe how much pencils I paid £35 for are now 😳 it seems it was a better investment than putting money in savings 😂
The Derwent Drawing pencils are soft, earthy coloured pencils, suitable for fur, feathers and foliage. The Derwent Graphitint pencils are water-soluble coloured graphite in dark, moody colours suitable for artistic effects.
Hi Karen 🥰 Really interesting question. I didn’t at first, then I did. I really like the black barrelled Bruts straight away but never really got into the CAs, so I revisited them and compares them.
Those Woodys are over $118 for the 18 pack/$7.90 openstock pencil in NZ atm (the same price they ask for Luminance open stock!!) I want them but I just can’t bring myself to pay that for “kids” pencils, especially when I already have Neo 2s! Ahhh, the struggle (of full set syndrome and collector’s desire) is real! And the fact that the pandemic made all art and craft supplies prices jump thru the roof 😂😂😂 It also doesn’t help watching haul and collection videos.... but... I like to torture myself obviously as they’re all I watch 😂😂😂
@@ArtJourneyUK Right! And then we all know we’ll end up buying them anyways....cos we get obsessed cos we can’t have them....so watch every video that mentions them.... or is that just me? 😝 I also want Polychromos wooden box as well (who doesnt?) but it’s currently between $800-$1000 in NZ... which I DO refuse to pay as that is criminal...... especially ‘cos in Aussie they’re only $355! That just does not compute! (They also dropped to only AUD $255 last week but I sat waffling and researching and procrastinating too long, cos in reality, I just want them, I can’t actually draw but I like to buy ALL THE THINGS anyways and stock my craftrooms 😂😂😂 But luckily..... I also enjoy a long “watch every video and savour the thought of buying ... and researching every nuance on what I want to buy” period as well as more spontaneous buys...So I’ll just bide my time until I do pull trigger by keeping on watching other people’s collections and taking notes 😂😂😂 Like yours! Which I guess is my waffly way of saying: “Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video very much!) 😂😂😂
I have just come across your channel the reason ? because you gave a timeline and what you were thinking how and why you got them i enjoyed that was grinning all the way through so i am now following you, be yourself
Great collection Lily are you letting go of any? Think I am going to hold on to most of mine for two reasons some may work better on some books than others, and also the prices just keep rising so much but hey who knows maybe later if don't get around to using them all 🤩 xx
Hi Maureen 🥰 I might let some go, like the Marco Raffine’s 😝 but I agree about the prices rising. I got most mine when the prices were much cheaper and over a long time period.
You do hv a collection now 😂 it’s funny how it creeps up espec when u don’t swatch/use it..same w coloring books, I stored new ones in my big suitcase to avoid alarming my hubby 🤣
Omg I remember that ustream 😆 hahaha. Nice collection there but what I am really jealous about is that small black pencil CASE that you have. (The one you said you had since school) I really want to find one that is small like that cause it holds one pencil per slot and not 3 in one.
It's a bummer I didn't get into colored pencils before Covid, I just got Polychromos on "sale" for twice what you paid lol. Of course I also didn't have that kind of personal money back then so I probably would't have gotten them anyway.
@@ArtJourneyUK fair enough! My neighbour has some and I had a go with them when we were allowed to have someone in the garden in good old 2020, they were different that's for sure!
I'm confused. You have a lot of pencils that you never use. Do you consider yourself to be a pencil collector and that's where your interest lays?. I use all of my pencils regardless of costs, Holbeins, Caren, Derwent right along side of my budget pencils. My experience is use them or loose them. I have a vintage set of Derwent Studio 72 , the wood is brittle and not the best. I decided to use them before I lose them, while aI still can. Lol.
I have used and continue to use all the pencils I’ve bought but not necessarily the ones Derwent gifted me. All these pencils I have bought over a long period, almost 20 years, but I’m certainly not a pencil collector. I buy to use.
Plenty are used! In fact all are used, except the Derwent ones I was gifted. When you havd a lot of sets, it takes longer to wear them all down to stumps! 😅 And to think, I don't have half as many sets as some other colourists. But what does it matter anyway, I earn my own money and can indulge myself how I like 😉
yes lightfast pencils make me color better too hahahahahahaha love this video ...yes I am struggling at sketching too. trying to attempt draw in 10 steps hahahahahaha Love your Pencil stash video , nice deep dive history xxxxx
Thanks Sonya. Hehe I knew I had a few Derwent ones from before this current colouring era, but there’s definitely a few that’s crept in over the past 2 years . It was a slow grow so I never noticed 😂
Well you have been holding out on us 😂from the girl that doesn’t do pencils, you are just like me, you have had them years even before there was a colouring community on RUclips, and don’t use them coz there to special and precious to use in case you don’t do them justices, I have a very large antique ships trunk full of them, I go in there every so often and stroke them, put them back and reach for the brutfuners I have also frequented the art shop in Loughton sadly it’s not there anymore, let’s make a pact to use at least one of the special sets at least once 😂🤪😂x
Hi Kathleen 🥰 Yes sad that the Art Shop in Loughton had to close, it was there 78 years 😕 Hehe I never said I didn’t do pencils, I just hadn’t got back into them this colouring era... until now that is lol I was enjoying the joy of discovering new colouring stuffs, that I hadn’t had before... like glitter gel pens 🤤😆 Apart from the large watercolour sets which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I have used all of them. Well perhaps not every pencil 😅 You should definitely open your fancy boxes, although that said, Brutfuners are good pencils and definitely ideal for £3 colouring books!
Thanks 😊 Apart from the watercolour pencils, which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I’ve used all of them...well except those Pastelowes and pastel tints. They’re next to get to grips with! Oi missus... Open your Prismas! 🥰
You have all these beautiful pencils and none of them is used or enjoyed! This is very strange to me because they are made to be enjoyed and to produce artwork . You just look at them?
Eh? I’m confused by your comment because I use all my pencils! The only ones that are unused are those gifted to me by Derwent. Just because I keep them in neat cases and drawers, doesn’t mean they’re not used and enjoyed.
And my Brutfunners and Arrtx arrived today and I am way more pleased with them than the Prismas so thanks for helping me make my mind up on that :) @@ArtJourneyUK

@@ArtJourneyUK Yes Time is a thing for sure .....someone pushed the ff button( it feels like)
Nice collection. I always say I don’t have that many until I start making a list 😂
Thanks Sonya. Hehe I knew I had a few Derwent ones from before this current colouring era, but there’s definitely a few that’s crept in over the past 2 years . It was a slow grow so I never noticed 😂
Great collection, enjoy!
Thanks Rachel ☺️
Well you have been holding out on us 😂from the girl that doesn’t do pencils, you are just like me, you have had them years even before there was a colouring community on RUclips, and don’t use them coz there to special and precious to use in case you don’t do them justices, I have a very large antique ships trunk full of them, I go in there every so often and stroke them, put them back and reach for the brutfuners I have also frequented the art shop in Loughton sadly it’s not there anymore, let’s make a pact to use at least one of the special sets at least once 😂🤪😂x
Hi Kathleen 🥰 Yes sad that the Art Shop in Loughton had to close, it was there 78 years 😕
Hehe I never said I didn’t do pencils, I just hadn’t got back into them this colouring era... until now that is lol
I was enjoying the joy of discovering new colouring stuffs, that I hadn’t had before... like glitter gel pens 🤤😆
Apart from the large watercolour sets which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I have used all of them. Well perhaps not every pencil 😅 You should definitely open your fancy boxes, although that said, Brutfuners are good pencils and definitely ideal for £3 colouring books!
this is an impressive collection, its time to get using your posh pencils
Thanks 😊 Which ones are the posh ones? Apart from the watercolour pencils, which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I’ve used all of them.
@@ArtJourneyUK most of them lol
@@emmacolours2020 hehe
Nice collection of pencils ✏️ You should “get to using ‘em” 🙂 (says the woman who has a set of 6 year old Prismas not used) 🤫
Thanks 😊 Apart from the watercolour pencils, which I’m not into (for colouring anyway) I’ve used all of them...well except those Pastelowes and pastel tints. They’re next to get to grips with! Oi missus... Open your Prismas! 🥰
You have all these beautiful pencils and none of them is used or enjoyed! This is very strange to me because they are made to be enjoyed and to produce artwork . You just look at them?
Eh? I’m confused by your comment because I use all my pencils!
The only ones that are unused are those gifted to me by Derwent. Just because I keep them in neat cases and drawers, doesn’t mean they’re not used and enjoyed.
Dream 🥰🥰🥰
Your video could very much be called PENCILS I ALMOST DID NOT USE !!!
The only ones I don’t really use are the Watercolour ones.
Lovely :) I fee l so much better :)
Hehe I always feel better when I see people with even more pencils than me 😆
And my Brutfunners and Arrtx arrived today and I am way more pleased with them than the Prismas so thanks for helping me make my mind up on that :)
@@ArtJourneyUK
someone has a SERIOUS problem...
What's that then?
@@ArtJourneyUK Compulsive buying all the time new colored pencils sets without ever using them.
Hardly compulsive, the pencils have been purchased over a period of 20 years. And they are used, often.
@@antiquediamonds1394 P.S. here's a video you may enjoy as you like watching coloured pencil collections 😁 ruclips.net/video/oOTW6xLndKY/видео.html
