@@MiwaGardnerI would be shocked too if I received oil pastels this big 😄 not sure I would have more words than you 😊 The grey one you’ve bought in big size is actually one of my favourites. It always finishes so fast 🥹 I would love to buy it BIG 😅
Thank you for inspiration what to do with black Sakura sketchbook! I made the same mistake and I thought that I can write here only with white liner 😅I’m a big gouache lover. Nice haul.
That feeling when you open a book 📖 and find it’s all black 🖤😱🤣I’m glad it gave you inspiration. I’ll be trying it out with mixed media and see where I can get using them! Let’s see where we can get with them!
I could feel the shock and hit at the first "oh my god" HAHA! And then the many "oh my god"s that follow were just the reality sinking in that you now have so many huge pastels to live with 🤭
I have 8 of the ecoline ink/liquid watercolors. This made me want to get a few more shades! I like them for work in my sketchbooks and they give you so much in a bottle I don't feel the need to be too precious about using them which I find is still something that blocks me sometimes! Also don't feel too bad about those pastels, it was such a relatable mistake! Enjoy working with all your new supplies btw!
That’s super exciting to hear! I’m glad it sparked you to get some more🫶🏻 true! Preciousness does play a part when it comes to creativity! Yeah, I didn’t know what to do but thought I’d just publish the way it happened 🤣 thank you! I’m glad I’m not the only one here. Can’t wait to share works created with them!
I’m looking so much forward in using them! I’m no where near being the artist that I aspire too but thank you ❤️ I’m sure you are worth it too. Keep creating!!
@@Soulciable whaaaaaatttt. Oh thank you so much for sharing!! I did do a frog painting (watercolor) over the eco line and you’re right it didn’t move and I haven’t even thought about that! Of course goache will even be better considering it’s less 💦 water! Getting excited 😆
Hair spray will yellow over time. Good choice to get an archival fixative.Thank you for sharing your wonderful haul! Have you heard of oil sticks? 🤔 (Literally oil paint in a stick form.) Happy birthday!🎊
@@melissaaldosari8024 Yikes But one of the things didnt make it to the recording and got back ordered. Derwent graphite xl charcaol or something its called. Maybe I can do a short one lol
It was a big haul, and a lot of money... But it seemed like intentional and well thought out purchases and the larger items are an investment to your art business. Most other massive art hauls I've seen are just unnecessary and impulsive....
This is a lovely comment. Thank you. YESSS! I want to use every single art supplies I welcome to my space. Space is so important and I want to love each one I bring in to it. I’m glad you see that. Im excited to be using them and will give an update on what I did actually use. Again, thanks for the comment!
I can't believe you spent that kind of money either.... lol...0:50 sums up the idea pretty well.. "I haven't actually used any of this just put it together for the video".
@MiwaGardner I bought bamboo ones, but since I felt like there are two many rounds ones I went for a few double set ones in shapes. I don't have any brushes like cats or something, and a few others and many others I was interested in were unsurprisingly sold out.
If you are afraid to get stuff on your hands... oil pastels are NOT for you.. lol.. I had a roommate in college that put pastel dust EVERYWHERE in the dorm room.... he was a pastel himself by the time the semester was over... and so was everything in the room!
@@pesto12601 this is hilarious 😂 he was pastel himself 🤣 damn I would’ve gone crazy if he were my roommate. Shoots… I need plan b. Just got tons of Singer John Sargent? Books to do studies and now… hmmm… surgery gloves? 🧤
@@MiwaGardner yes you can get little rubber finger covers for use with different sorts of pastels. And if you start using a Soft pastels, you can get yourself a small hand sized vacuum cleaner to suck up any soft pastel dust off your work.
@ finger covers?! I’m going to look into that! I do use soft pastels and that vacuum idea sounds great! I was thinking of getting it for clearing up the desk after working so perfect! Thank you 🙏
Yeah no, I can totally believe that we spend over 2K on art supplies. LMAO. When Michael Harding came out with his watercolors I just HAD to try them. And by try them I mean buy 50 tubes. Over 1K right there. But of course I HAD to get another sketchbook in the order, wine fineliners, set of 25 full sheets of Arches 300lb...............🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣one carries on to the next doesn’t it?! Yeah I never got Michael Harding tubes… hmmm 🤔💭🎨💸💸💸 what’s kinda funny at least to me is how the thumbnail idea “spent…” came to mind. I found another artist that wrote “ I spent $200” and I was like “?! I probably spent more than that. Let me check!” And sum them all up and realized just then how much I used and went 😳😬😱 so yeah your “yeah no, I can totally believe” I related back too! Lol
Ahhh did you get it to? Yeah I was hoping for a bit more on the process. But I kinda thought it is lovely seeing her work and imagining how she created each piece.
@ her work is some of my favorites. She’s truly a skilled artist but to me the book was more of a fancy portfolio of her works and not a teaching tool.
@@MeredithHammett Yups I understand what you mean. That was my first impression too. Should have digged into that a bit. I wish too there were more of the techniques/process too!
wow that's a massive haul! i saw many things i already have and many things i look foward to get in the future, like the scanner and easel. my problem is i live in a very small appartment and don't really have the space for an easel yet 🥲but congrats on your birthday! I also had my birthday recenrly and im also going to splurge a bit on rosemary brushes and oil supplies 🤩
Hello Ultramarine finest ❤️love your name as a fan of pb29 🦋 sounds like we share similar interests! Actually I was going to put the Derwent graphite inks as well but they don’t make it on time for the recording. Only coming in January 🤣 awww. Yeah I got lucky with the space i understand. I use to have a small place too. But guess what? I did like using those easels that have shorter legs and putting them on the desk when I needed to paint vertically (works well with the stretcher) and I feel I’ll be going to back to those ways still quite often. If you haven’t had a try, I’d give it a go! Ooo yes Rosemary and Co are really nice. Every brush I got from them has never not exceeded expectations. They even gave me a freebie paintbrush that I’ve been going back using quite often. Hope you love it too. Thanks for the comment 🙏
@@MiwaGardner thank you! yes i think we do have a lot of interest overlap 💗im looking for a easel like that, and hopefully i can find one that can work as a desk easel and pochade box. it's gonna take a while to figure out a good set up. im very looking forward to my rosmary order 🤩
oh my god, your reaction to XXL Sennelier oil pastel sticks is priceless 😅 great video 🥰
I couldn't help but leak out my oh my gods many time. I didnt have any other word for it🤣 Thank you;))

@@KaterinaGundar ahh! Good to know!! For what do you use it for? Shadows?
@@MiwaGardnerI use it to mix in with skin tones or to add some cool toned strokes in paintings. It’s quite universal and not really dark
@@KaterinaGundar I love grays in skin tones;)) Happy to hear this info, im glad this color is not a waste! Thank you!
That is a huge haul.
@@pegboyd4312 it was for me too!!! Probably never again 🤣

Your rings are so stunning! What is the blue stone? A sapphire? 😍
Thank you! Yes they are! I wanted a Sapphire rather than a diamond and am glad I made this choice🫶🏻💎💙🦋
@@MiwaGardnerI wanted the same and got a blue/violet tanzanite for my engagement ring. Love to see others with coloured stones 🤗
Violet tanzanitee! Thats gonna be so beautiful!!!! I know what it looks ike! Great choice and congratulations on the engagement!
Great video Miwa ❤
@@AineDivinePaintings Thanks Aine, had to put your painting in there ❤️
I could feel the shock and hit at the first "oh my god" HAHA! And then the many "oh my god"s that follow were just the reality sinking in that you now have so many huge pastels to live with 🤭
I laughed at your comment 🤣🤣🤣 yes the shock was huuuuge. Just had to surrender to this big pastel chunk 🎨
That easel is gorgeous!😍
I knowwwwwwI just started using it yesterday for the painting that will be completed next year;)))
if you can't flaunt art skills, flaunt the money

I love the sennelier pastels, so creamy smooth. I’m no where near the artist you are. You’re worth every penny! Enjoy!❤❤
I’m looking so much forward in using them! I’m no where near being the artist that I aspire too but thank you ❤️ I’m sure you are worth it too. Keep creating!!
Tubes of watercolor and acrylic paint, paper, sets of color medium.
I love the ecoline inks, I used them as a underpainting for my gouache paintings since they don’t really move after letting it dry!
@@Soulciable whaaaaaatttt. Oh thank you so much for sharing!! I did do a frog painting (watercolor) over the eco line and you’re right it didn’t move and I haven’t even thought about that! Of course goache will even be better considering it’s less 💦 water! Getting excited 😆
I do big purchases one in a while I always think first if I’m gonna use it or not
It’s such a important thought when we do purchase isn’t it?!
Hair spray will yellow over time. Good choice to get an archival fixative.Thank you for sharing your wonderful haul! Have you heard of oil sticks? 🤔 (Literally oil paint in a stick form.) Happy birthday!🎊
Im glad you mentioned this. I thought they werent made to be archival. WHAAAAATTT???!! I havent heard of that. Darn it. Why did i get oil pastels lol
@@MiwaGardnerHahahaha, another haul maybe!?😂 Oil sticks do dry since they are actually oil paint…
@@melissaaldosari8024 Yikes But one of the things didnt make it to the recording and got back ordered. Derwent graphite xl charcaol or something its called. Maybe I can do a short one lol
@@MiwaGardner😂
Btw, fixatives will darken your pastel paintings. 🙁
I loved this video, so informative. Please continue to post often, I subscribed. Thanks so much.
Wow what a lovely comment to get. Im glad it gave you some kind of value! I will;)) Although it may not be a haul as Im broke now
Just enjoy your art materials! Having high quality art materials is invaluable and your art will benefit greatly!
@@dawn4224 thank you! Looking forward to the oil pastels and the inks as they are something I’ve never used before in my art ❤️

Hi! Thank you so much for your support 😍 Feel free to tag and share your work with us using the Emily Hughes X Craftamo brush set! 🎨✨
@@Craftamo thank you for making them! They are lovely! Forgot to do so thanks!!🙏
I can't believe you spent that kind of money either.... lol...0:50 sums up the idea pretty well.. "I haven't actually used any of this just put it together for the video".
🤣🤣🤣 yeah that was pretty much my summary of my realization of yikes just right there. You nailed it. 📸
I have big pastel envy
You DO?! I didn’t imagine anybody would!! Why??! 🤣🙌🏻🤔
@ they look like so much fun. I have bad arthritis in my hands and they look like they would be comfortable to hold.
Are you swatching ink on your bed????😮
My head is a bed ;)
My guess's biggest expense was paper and brushes
Papers and brushes are expensive too!!! The answer is 1. Easel 2. Scanner 3. The original artwork by Aine Divine!
@MiwaGardner true ! I just bought several good quality brushes from craftamo and went dam they so dam expensive 😩
@ yups they sure are but great quality and comes as a set! We got to create the most out of them 🫶🏻🥹🎨🥂🙌🏻🔥
@MiwaGardner I bought bamboo ones, but since I felt like there are two many rounds ones I went for a few double set ones in shapes. I don't have any brushes like cats or something, and a few others and many others I was interested in were unsurprisingly sold out.
I love the sketchbook with black paper. It's so hard for me to find here in Ontario.
I realized that once I got here in the U.S!!! I tried to find it and couldnt! Glad I bought it in the haul before moving in to the U.S from Germany.
Acid free paper is archival....
The scanner, easel, and the oil pastel is the most expensive item that you have in this art hall.
Close!!! The scanner and easel yes! The oil pastel was the 4th most expensive (including the wrong sizes i got🙈)
