Put a plastic dish scoured in the bottle ..all the filth stays under and the brush is always in the clean thinners
Such a yummy haul🎨so much gorgeous colour and playing with paint,love this video. The books are very interesting I shall look there up 👍🏻Thankyou sweet friend for taking the time to share 🤗sending love and hugs 🤗
That was such a cool color theory class!! Thank you so much. I’ve never understood why some colors would look great together and some would go dull but the undertone cool/warm makes so much sense. Thank you!!
I love the way your mind works ❤
It made me so happy to watch you unbox all your treasures!!! Thank you for including us in YT land !!!
You have also inspired me to play with color mixing.
land the land
How FUN!! I love seeing all of your supplies! I am more of a fiber artist but got into the art journaling. Enjoy watching you paint and the great ideas for everything. I find your channel calming and inspirational. Keep up the great content! 💖
Totally random but I LOVE your style. The dungarees with the puffed sleeved tshirt and the pleated hair is a look ❤
Oh thank you! xxxx
I love the long ones♡ just a good ole play sesh. I can't wait to see more of these. Love love
A book press for bookbinding is currently my most sought after art item. I’m trying to figure out how to make a more permanent one myself to be thrifty as my current set up is more hassle than it’s worth 😂. Sending good energy your way, always a joy to watch your videos!!!
I have some inexpensive cutting boards and I'm going to drill holes in them and fasten them with carriage bolts and wing nuts. I've wanted one since the 90s! Right now I have a 10 pound bag of buck shot that bought myself. I put it on top of whatever I need to press!
Gorgeous books 😍
I also have arthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome having a pain cream really helps on bad days can be frustrating for sure when you need your hands to work ….Blessings
What cream do you use please?
Absolutely loved this video! Been a fan of a split primary palette (with a few fav convenience colours) for ages in acrylics. And seeing your luscious art supply hall was such fun. My wish list has Neocolour II, some much-needed brushes, and several books ( a colour-mixing volume, a techniques book, and a couple of books on artists and art movements) on it. Enjoy playing, Wendy, and I look forward to seeing how the new goodies inspire you. May you be filled with love and light. Thank you for sharing. 😘🤗
Omg I want that color and light book so bad! It’s been on my wishlist for months haha
This was great, Thank you
Time flies when you're having fun. Even not painting with oil and not even being interested in it I watched until the end 🙂
On my wishlist I have a really large synthetic sable watercolor brush. I think I'll give that to myself next Christmas.
Thank you for the colour mixing demonstration. And for extra mentioning that the most useful base colours are Cyan, Magenta and Yellow instead of Blue, Red and Yellow. 🥰
I loved this! It was great conversation! Gamblin is made here in Portland, but all I have is a small jar of Gamsol and some printing 'plates' for their labels that were discarded years ago. I would love to try oils again, probably using M. Graham's walnut oil though. I quit oils back in the 80s because turps gave me such terrible headaches.
I have dug out my copy of Gurney's Color and Light, too! He is such a wonderful explainer of painting!
I've been watching the bears at Brooks Falls in Alaska this week. It is fascinating to see their fishing methods - and I realized that I've never sketched them before. My results are beginning to look less like dogs and more like the giants they are!
Have a lovely week!
Thanks! and yes, the smells of yesteryear,,, remember them well! Your bears sound so perfect and yes, try oils with some less toxic thinners. There is one made of citrus from lemons!
@@theunexpectedgypsy That sounds... smells wonderful! I loved all of the smells and was fine painting by myself at home until I took classes in decorative painting - 20 women squeezed into a small area with little ventilation, each with their own jar of open turps was too much. My headaches were severe. I was in an art supply a year or so later when I spied a woman looking at the oils. I made her a deal - sold my wonderful oils for $25. I didn't want the temptation. Sigh. That was back when several women who were famous in that area got very sick. They were finger painting with oils, pointing their brushes after cleaning them and just not being careful. I think it was liver damage. So one of them, JoSonja Jansen, came up with her own acrylic paint and everyone published only with instructions for acrylic. I tried that for a while and quit altogether. About a decade later, I took up watercolors and I love it! I do mess with other things now but I do love the simplicity of water-based media. I do think that once I get my studio straightened out, I just might buy some oils. We will see!
Rain and snow for 36 hours here - appreciated the blue sky moment Wendy. Thanks for sharing your fabulous new gear and books.👏⭐️🧚
I love mixing my colours, well done for holding off for us 😊I love seeing art hauls etc and you never tire of that excitement gettiing a package in the post ❤ im a mixed media artist so need my paints using natural pigments, textiles, air dry clay plus chalks and if course my resources such as books which I love to study and read 😀 im ready for a slighty bigger space now to house all my ideas. I'm a self taught artist and experimenting is my favorite past time. I get a lot of my books and textiles from charity shops 😊
Thank you, Wendy, for showing us all your new treasures! Isn’t it exciting unboxing things you’ve wanted and waited for, when you finally get them? I went to art school, but left 14 years ago to have my children and raise/homeschool them. Now that they are a bit older, I have just started getting back into my art again, but sadly I’ve forgotten so much of my learning! So thus quick colour theory lesson was much appreciated 🙏🏼 thank you! xx
It's so fun to see your new paints, and all the colors! I use the Gamsol mineral spirits to
blend my Prismacolor Premier pencils! Hugs! Peggy
You can glue your brushes back together! Also, If you have a can opener that side-cuts, there won't be any rough edges!
Even the cans that have a pull tab, can be cut to be smooth! Great for art projects!
My next art project is to put my water color paints into a palette to dry, for easier use!
Wendy I wish all your videos were this long! I'd like some more info about all sorts of paper and journals and drawingbooks if you like. Thank you again !
Yes me too.
Oh Wendy... What a wonderful haul!! 🤩
I'm gonna add some of the books to my wishlist. They seem quite interesting and inspiring 😊
Thank you for share this with us.
Send you tons of love and good vibes!
🤍🥰🧚🏻♀️
tons of loves back to you too , thank you xxxx
Loved this episode! my wishlist contains the massive set of Carah d ache Neo II. I have the set of 15 which I recently purchased and absolutely fell in love with them.
I need some more pastel storage drawers, I keep my colored pencils in them 😊
Lovely, so nice to see what new things you have got and some nice tips and tricks too. Thanks Wendy.🌺🌈🍄🌞💚❀
Nice haul. Gamblin is great. Just reminding me I ordered a used copy of the Gurney book which never arrived
Now have you noticed how easily you manifested new paint and supplies? Now just take the same happy knowing energy and place it in the places where you have doubt❤
Good advice... I need to apply it to myself and stop procrastinating😜😂!
Just watching your excitement about colour, and your tutorial, I'm so relaxed. Your energy is so pure and full of ✨
Yim Maukun is Chinese, not Japanese.
What a great haul! ❤ Have fun with your new goodies!
Pan Pastels have been on my wish list for a long time now. I'd love to try them, but they're very expensive so I always put it off. Maybe one day I'll take the plunge.
Hi Vicky, have you thought to look in charity shops? They often have a craft area and I have seen pan pastels for 50p! I'm in the UK by the way. x
Thank you for sharing the excitement of opening your packages!! I love mixing colors and watching colors being mixed - it is truly magical! Dark Turquoise blue is so yummy!
Wendy the painting behind you the female with lots of candy colours is looking very happy.
Brushes on my list of art supplies.
Thank you for another enjoyable video.
Greetings from Brighton

I loved this video! I'm still not much into painting or drawing, but I would like to get there again. I used to draw and paint a lot when I was a little girl, even though I liked writing much better (I'm an economist with a writer's heard and mind), however many of my happy memories of childhood, of sweet solitude are about me drawing and sinking for hours into coloring. My artsy wishlist is pretty simple, I guess. I would like a travel kit: a small notebook with paper that can take drawing and painting (water color), a traveling brush and watercolor kit and some pencils for drawing.
💟
Thank you, Wendy. That was truly informative about the color mixing.
Let's see, my art supply wishlist: orange, light blue, and violet col-erase pencils. That's my favorite thing to draw with and I am down to nubs. Other than that, I have a ton of cheapy art supplies to play with so I feel abundant with supplies right now. ✏🧡💙💜
how did you get them to frame your face so nice with long hair...hairdressers don't seem to be able to get it
I think Wendy cuts her hair herself she mentioned it once on a video
Lately my paint is coming out a lot darker than I expected I’m using daler gouache paint 😳
I was so shocked about the Windsor & Newton brush, mine are cheaper from Royal & Langnickel/have the Jumbo firm and soft sets, the wood should not move around. Wanted do a shout out as I'm an American, I feel Gamblin is the best, I use their "1980" line & their Cold Wax to varnish my watercolor paintings. (for people never heard of them, the company is from Portland, Oregon) I took an oil painting class via zoom with their brand ambassador and Pete Cole the owner was one of the host, something I'll never forget. Tip: Naples Orange & Naples Yellow are massively praised for their portraiture.
Thanks Wendy for this mouthwatering colour mixing and goodies video! I need new oils, so saving for them. Yikes,
they are expensive, so one or two tubes a month! Happy painting❤
You reminded me that I wanted to buy The Secret Lives of Colour. I've had it on my wish list for ages. Just bought it! I loved watching you mix colours and share your tips. I don't work with oils but nevertheless, so interesting.
Thank you, Wendy!! Your videos are always inspirational. I absolutely love seeing new art things, and the books are definitely fun. I am trying to get back to art-making from a bit too long of a slack period. You are helping me!💓💕
Please please give up the fallacy that drawing happens in one part of the brain. You need your entire brain, your entire BODY to draw. Try drawing without your hand. Try drawing without your eyes. It's madness to be a chauvinist about this right brain vs left brain stuff. It is just another incarnation of phrenology. It's so alienating.
I agree with you and so don't mean to alienate... in that... yes exactly, drawing and all creativity happens in both, but what I'm saying is that we need to access the left brain to really access the 'other' side of creativity! Of course we need our bodies too...
@@theunexpectedgypsy I appreciate your reply, Wendy. Are you the expert on how to access the left brain? or the right brain? And how does one do that? It's like saying, "make sure you access your left kidney when you digest salty foods." It doesn't make sense. Furthermore what you are using is an archaic metaphor of the mind as the CPU for humans, that the mind (and thinking) exists only in the skull, and it doesn't. The mind is both corporeal and social and extends beyond time if you consider "inventions" like books and architecture within human history. A bookmark can be a part of thinking. How is a bookmark right or left brained? It is neither.
There is a term I like called distributed cognition, which has to do with how cognition includes the body and occurs over a broad space of time and place. A bookmark is an example of distributed cognition.
Artists are individuals who master materials and practices to communicate ideas and political statements, even savoring the color of a flower is a political statement, as I see it. In that way we artists use the scientific method all the time in order to have control of our materials. We are also surveyors of social movements, and usually capture the zeitgeist of the times. Artists inspire thought by creating viewpoints for viewers to step into so as to experience differing points of view, but instead of using words like writers do to create these "mindspaces", artists are using visual and tactile mediums to create these kinds of cognitive spaces. (I like to say cognitive because cognition includes thinking and feeling, but also sensing of the world outside the body.I don't like to make a distinction between thinking and feeling, as I feel they are two sides of the same coin).
This discussion is really important. If we use faulty metaphors or outdated models of mind, then we are blocked from reaching the best we can do. Consider the model of the flat earth and how that limited thinking.
Thanks for listening.💌
So much fun watching you unpack your goodies. Thank you for sharing. You are truly an inspiration.
Loved this video so much needed information and I love learning as much as possible about supplies, brushes, papers....I guess I just love it all. Thank you so much Wendy.
I wish you all the luck and plessure with your new toys🤣
This video was not to long for me...
Thank you for this inspired video...❤
Loved the colour mixing info , Wendy. I am looking forward to experimenting with multimedia paper and inktense pencils / blocks when I have some spare cash. 😊
I bought colouring books to learn figure drawing of fantasy females❤😂😊 this July 2023
Lovely video! Thank you! Will definitely get that Story of colour book! Looks very interesting! On my wish list for art supplies is a set of micron pen fine liners! (0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 in black)
I know this is from a year ago and you may not see my comment. But it is so great seeing you go through all your oil paints and showing mixing and the different colors - My Mom was an artist and I learned everything I know from her teaching me with oil paints. I now use acrylic, colored pencils, paint markers and some water color - will be adding oils back into the mix! I also love seeing your journals as I have been keeping up with my journals too. So much more to learn, even at age 66!!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Well, that was fun! Thank you for sharing Wendy and a quick question...please share the color of the magenta colored Acrylic Ink. Thank you so much!💙💜🌈💫🙋♀️
Books do matter! My favorite two right now are The Sketchbook Challenge by Sue Bleiweiss and Everything you wanted to know about watercolor by Marian Appeloff.
Thank you for this video. I hope your house search is coming along? Blessings and hugs to you, from Jilly and Madge, the rescue greyhound, from West Devon, England. xxx
You are so delightful to watch and listen to... I struggle with colour mixing some times every now and then I fluke a beautiful colour, never to be repeated... hahaha... art supply wish would be a beautiful set of Gouache Paints... with new some brushes... I would be in heaven... Thank you so much for sharing your talent and knowledge...
Didn't realise you had the link with Jacksons. Great use of the link proceeds 😀
Thanks Wendy I gave all of my watercolors away to my daughter when she started taking painting lessons. What a lovely excuse to purchase a few key premium colors. Thanks for the heads-up on the Windsor-Newton brushes, who'd have believe it. But there it was, wiggling away. I stayed to the end. You provided some very useful info. Thank you for the "Full Moon Fairies" poem. We all had fun trying to identify the characters on the Black Adder postage stamp. We I.D.'d Rowan and Tony, who was the other one? I see the image of King Charles III in the corner. I'll be saving that. Best to you and your James. xx
My wish list...my own backyard studio!!! ❤ Once I feel like I'm at the level I want to be, I would love some Michael Harding oils and Belgian linen canvas...I dream big!!! LOL!!! Painted on Belgian linen when I first started purely by accident. The girl at the shop told me wrong and rang it up wrong at just $3/yard back in 1986...my teacher about fainted!!! LOL!! Lovely texture. Currently, I just this past week made a list of the Gamblin oils I want to get so they are my next splurge...total coincidence that you also chose Gamblin. You will love their odorless Gamsol, so glad I switched to that three years ago, so much better!!! For my ultimate art wish list - save up for an art adventure in Europe!!!! I've never been out of the States and I have dreamt of painting in the UK, France, and Italy for nearly my entire life. So enjoy your videos, you feel like a close art friend, a spirit sister!!!
you add to my happiness I feel like a giggle when you play the air with your fingers...I find myself feeling a connection to your insight ..way of thinking and I've only watched 3 of your most recent videos lol.... I'm 71 yr old widow maybe I'm your Granny from the art dimension...lol.. thank you for your video..
Greetings @The Unexpected Gypsy I love your videos, they’re so calming, I tell my kids that you’re a real fairy 🧚♂️, I just recently got back into oil painting, and I want to paint on larger canvases, so an H frame is what’s on my wish list, have a great summer and thanks for sharing your world 😊.
It was lovely to see you so happy with your new supplies! Thank you for unboxing with us! I love books too so it was very fun being part of your joy! I especially loved seeing the books about color! I loved your color mixing "class" too! It was very helpful to see what happened when you mixed colors.
Now I am between & betwixt wanting/buying some professional watercolor pans .. I am looking at the Daniel Smith watercolors/sets/sticks. BUT I am also looking at getting a new computer for digital painting since I have a graphic tablet and a painting program.
I always look forward to your videos dear Wendy. You inspire me. Thank you so much. Lots of love. 🌹🐱🤗
Happy Sunday sweet friend.
I love the book’s especially the color book. You’ll have wonderful hrs of reading them. Lots of info on all aspects of paints/color and inspiration too. Drawing is good and I do this too.
Love all those beautiful paints. I’ve never done the color palette but watching g you has made me realize how helpful this would be so I’m going to do this too. I loved your explanation on color mixing. I have been learning a lot about this as a self taught artist. I do keep the color wheel to refer to when needed. You’ve helped me a lot today.
I had expensive electrical work done in my home this past Wednesday that took all day. So since I had to clear part of hall closet that acts as my pantry, cleared the left side and yesterday painted the full closet top to bottom. Now have work cut out to organize it all back again.
I’ve done some journaling in my altered book this past week so that was good. I was pleased with the pages.
Wendy it was so good to see your smiling face today. Made my Sunday really. Have a magical week and enjoy your new books and supplies. Much love from my house to yours.🎨🖌🧚♀️🧚🏻📚🌻🌺🌼🌷😘☮️❤️❤️
❤ Thank you with sharing your books and paints also mixing colors. I Paint sometimes too. ❤
ive just found your lovely channel. hello :) XXXX
The excitement of new supplies is always wonderful! My last big purchase / gift was the neocolor sets. I have a couple of gold inks, a white and a black. I'd love more colours, because I like the bottles. Though I'm not sure how I'd use them 😂 Your new books look wonderful too!
I always buy the cheap stuff but I have being changing to Winsor&Newton and I'm loving the incredible difference that it makes so creamy and vibrant colours oh I'm starting to practice in water colours done acrylic and gouache but I'm fascinated with water colours and the endless possibilities maybe if I'm brave next will be oil painting, It was a joy watching your video take care love 😊❤❤
So helpful on mixing - thanks! I must organize my stuff before I know what to wish for - hahaha!
Hello Wendy, love youre video's. Can you please enter the books you show in your more underneed your video(comes up on the site like the comments.) Thank you for showing all your collors. Have an amazing day!
Thank you for Greg tidbits of information on how to store oil paints. I never knew they about them.
Wendy I love your chair, please let me know where you got this from. I also suffer with my spine and I’m wondering how comfortable your chair is. I’m looking for one at the moment and it would be great to get your feedback, my budget is limited however, a good chair is very important, especially when sitting for long hours!❤❤
I very much enjoyed the video, seeing all of your new supplies. To answer your question about what is on my wishlist, I have a number of items. Highest on my list though is that I'd like a couple of nice watercolor brushes.
Amazing video! I love this haul it sure feels as good as Christmas and a Birthday party to get art supplies and art books. I have a long list of art supplies, acrylic paint, I want and I'm determined to get them one day. Recently I purchased some Derwent colored pencils and the Kum long point pencil sharpener you recommended and that's a game changer! 💜
Ah, I didn’t know that about acrylics being ok to hang like that but not oils (or watercolour tubes either I’m assuming?)…
Watching this forthe third time today.
Thank you Wendy.
I love that Figure drawing book we can actually draw in - your channel is bad for my bank balance.😊I bought the right side of the brain book you recommended already.🤣
Gamvar is the only product that you can put on oil paintings before they are fully cured/dry because it is breathable and the paint won’t crack. Been using it for ages and it is excellent! I used to have to return months later to varnish but not Gamvar…apply right when dry to the touch. Yay for quality fun art supplies!!
Thank you for this great video and putting so much effort into creating such valuable content all artists can benefit from. Wishing you a wonderful day!
I love the long videos! As for art supplies I would like to get some oil paint as I currently work mainly with watercolour and acrylic. But what I really would love is a beautiful wood flat file cabinet to hold my artwork I'm working on.
The books love the exercise book and the book about light, as well as the book on color theory. I love your mediums didn't know about low scented oil mix. My wish list just got longer😊❤
I too have been ordering a few new Art supplies I got some kneaded erasers for my sketching and also a tomboy micro eraser which it great ,and a few new watercolor brushes Princeton Neptune size 4 is epic and a set of brushes just for painting flowers 💐!Art supplies are so expensive and I bought expensive Archers watercolor paper for he first time wow such good watercolor paper cold pressed saving it special projects!
I’ve been following you for a while without getting started! Now I can see the how of mixing and I’m really fired up to start! Water colours for me first and just see how it goes. Thanks Wendy xx
❤❤❤ I paint vinyl reborn dolls!! Heat set oils and gamsol is my fave thinner by far! I want a trolly and organization anything! I've taken our living room up totally now no TV in it anymore!!
I have the book The Secret Lives of Colour, it was a birthday present and it is an interesting read. I am interested in your other books you got and did order one and rest on wish list. Thank you so much for sharing Wendy and talking more about colour. As you said as we are always Learning and evolving. Xx
What is on my wishlist right now is to take a few painting classes, oils mostly is my biggest interest. But I've bought oils, acrylics, and some watercolors to get a feel for them. I do feel a need for some basics training to hopefully give me a jumpstart to get going again, maybe with a bit more confidence.
James Gurney has a RUclips channel. Do you follow him?
The big set of alcohol markers for me, but I'm hesitant as I live in a very hot and humid climate so they would dry out very quickly 😂
Best colour theory and demonstration I have ever seen on RUclips. Thank you
Never thought of a skin protector before thank you for sharing where did your friend get it from cheers? I love oils for painting but have you any tips for drying them as found that the most difficult? loving those drawing books as learning to sketch. You are a wonderful, talented artist 🎨
Thank you for this interesting color class.
Thank you for bringing up about cool and warm versions of the same colour. I sometimes hear about the warm and cool side of the colour wheel but they always seem to leave that part out and it took me a long time before I realised where I was going wrong with my colour mixing.
As for art supplies I'm curious about those Derwent water-soluble tinted graphite pencils. Also water soluble graphite and graphite powder.
U left art college same year as me. I’m also going through a reintroduction of what I learned at the beginning. To rediscover something from that and something new I hope. 😊
My Wishlist is never ending but my most wanted art supply would be actual water colors instead of the children's water color set I have had for years now.
I recently bought some new acrylics but have been too busy building out the van. I do have a question every time I've ever tried to paint on top of a previous color no matter how long I've waited in between the new colored destroys the paint underneath. It's only acrylics what am I doing wrong? LOL
That was really lovely and fun and interesting and encouraged me to have a little dibble dabble. 😊
My wish list is thati ha e the perfect work space and order. No I'm not a order freak but I find it stressful not having a sense of it when I go to work on something. My art space is a 4×8 space. I have more art supplies than that space. 😂
How does being a Lefty affect your artistic side? Do you feel that you are more sensitive in your drawing? I am ambidextrous and there are times I do not know if I am overthinking or too critical in my creativity. This tends to freeze me sometimes.
So scientific ! As a scientist I would love to read "The secret lives of colour" It sounds so interesting. The visible electromagnetic spectrum and the stories behind it as well as what humans interpret is fascinating. Great choice.
Loved this video also the art haul the wooden box you use for paints is a good idea... Wendy darling I rub the red tiger balm with a cotton bud till it totally soaks up and disappears on the joint you will only need a little and then wear a fingerless glove on to bed helps. Loved bools too amd swatching ❤ my wish list for art supplies would probably be a storage box like yours 😊
🥰 hola!! I love all your stuff😍😍 😘💗🧚♀️🦋✨
