Luminance are the best! I finally have them all - I would order 4-5 each time I placed an order from Blick . Took a few years, but it wasn’t feasible to order any other way. I also have and love the Derwent Lightfast cps! 😊 Hope your recovery is going well
Thanks for a great guide to options for putting together (or adding to) a drawing 'bag of tricks'. I didn't put my kit together in one go but, rather, picked up bits and pieces over the years. I now have a lot of the items you mentioned, but there are lots of additional ideas in your video to interest beginners and old hands. Good to hear from a couple of your replies to comments that the post-op pain is starting to subside and you might be able to get rid of the sling and start physio soon! Kind regards, Brian.
Platinum Carbon Ink was created not to clog your fountain pen and it is pigmented and waterproof once dry. ..From web: Japanese pen company Platinum has created a carbon ink for fountain pens. Their Carbon Black ink is a waterproof, pigment-based, archival-quality fountain pen ink. The superfine pigments ensure a smooth, dark, rich line. This highly saturated ink is perfect for art or writing.
I have the carbon black ink and it is not completely waterproof. I'm on a search for one that can be used in fountain pens that is completely waterproof but even the ones that say they are waterproof aren't actually waterproof there's still some smearing…thanks for watching!
I just discovered you. I have most of the items you showed us, so that makes me feel good about the purchase decisions I've made. The one thing I have an issue with is patience. Too bad I can't buy some of that! I Subscribed, so I'm anxious to look at more of your videos and see if I can learn to draw. I'm 70, so this is my next endeavor to keep myself active.
Hi Susan! I'm doing ok. The pai s is somewhat better. Hopefully I can get the sling off in two weeks and start physical therapy! Thanks for checking in!
Hi there! The video was great! I love drawing and painting but I never know which supplies are the best. Therefore, I often find myself not knowing which art supplies to get and, with so many different options, it can definitely get pretty overwhelming. That’s why this list was so helpful for me, since now I can make a more reasoned and well-founded decision on which ones are worth investing in. 7:48 Thank you so much for the recommendation! New favourite art liner! On a different note, I love that you provide different options and you give a detailed explanation of every product and the reason why you recommend it, which makes this list very insightful. As it was a basic kit, you don’t include many options for different painting supplies, I would really appreciate it if you considered including more in the future. Can’t wait for your next video! Keep it up!!
Great video! Thank you for the tip on turning the pencil sharpener and not the pencil! I would love it if you did a video about inks. I have several bottles of ink that I never use. Hope your recovery is going well. 🙏🏽❤️
thanks for sharing your favorites...Here are some of mine ( faber castell ecco pigment fineliners),) zen art supplies sketchbook for sketching and drawing , but not for wet mediums) for watercolor i now make my own sketchbooks. Have a happy week-end!
That’s a great idea you have there for the hard board. I was trying to figure out what I should use to protect the table from painting. Thanks to you, I am gonna get it on Monday. By the way, I am glad to see you doing good so far. 😁
The pain is a little bit less. Hopefully the brave thing will come off in two weeks and I will get to start physical therapy. Thanks for asking and for watching!
will be great to learn more about fountain pens, dip pens , and the type of inks . I want to buy one fountain pen, I'm not sure what I need or which ones are good,
Thanks for a very informative video. I don’t know much about colored pencils, and I would like to know if there is any downside to using both oil-based and wax-based in the same drawing.
oh and i forget to mention caran d,Ache pencils (for drawing not coloring) and blackwing pencils that have a cool eraser and rotring and graphgear 1000 mechanical pencils .
i have had one of those derwent electric erasers, never use it lol it tends to leaves eves marks on the paper :/ i've had my A2 sized drawing board for over 20 years lol, its been from canada to here scotland just because it is so handy😀
Ok, so how did you know I am starting to draw? I’ve been thinking about what supplies I need to start, do you have a camera in my living room 😀? Seriously, great video perfectly timed, thank you
I have it, and it's not. it's smears a little bit with a water wash. It's not a lot. But it's some. I think I've got a video where I test it somewhere on my channel. I haven't found one that's safe for fountain pens that's actually waterproof. But I will keep trying! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I am extremely new at drawing and im sorry if this is a stupid question, but what does "light fast" mean? I keep hearing you talk about it when you review things and was just curious what it actually means. Thank you and I hope you are recovering well! 💜💜💜
An ink video sounds fun! I'm never sure which ones are okay with dip pens so I'd love to see your recommendations, hope your recovery is going well!
Joann's Fabrics has a little containers in a plastic container for roughly $7.99 for 30 small containers. I got them for putting my watercolors in.

Yes. Those are great on white, toned, and black paper. Oh, and they’re lighfast. What’s not to love? :)
Love this! I love to draw-my personal "staple skill" I have worked on since a child up until now.

that ink set is so pretty! I use the same faber castell graphite pencils, they're so cheap and never break 🥰
I would love an ink how to video. I bought the stuff to start and I don't know what I am doing so I have never used any of it.
Ink video would be awesome! I collect fountain pens and inks. They are one of my special interests.
Very informative ❤
