Well, up until watching this video the only items on my Christmas wish list were paper, paper and more paper(Arches pads) and a quill brush. Now I have to have that portable painter palette and an Ann Blockley book! My family will be grateful I have a list now😊. Thank you!
I love your gift videos. I particularly liked that you featured the books by Ann Blockley. My husband and I were talking about here just a couple of weeks ago. We were on a day out in the Cotswolds and were talking about the time we visited her beautiful cottage. We went to visit her husband, who my husband knew through something computer techy. She wasn’t there, but I was able to buy a few things from her studio via her husband. So as I watched you talk about her books I looked up at the two framed prints I have in my cottage. And I have a couple of her books upstairs. The thing I remember most was the absolutely idyllic cottage and setting. Lovely place.
All great gifts! I would be super happy with any one of those. Fountain pen, sable brush pen are the heavy hitters for me as a ink lover and watercolor. Portable pallette would be awesome but then seems incomplete with out paints. If someone gives you the m gram set, they really love you and I'd you willing to spend that much, I'm guessing spending another $30 plus on a portable painter and a sketchbook is no problem.
I picked up your M. Graham paint set and I LOVE IT! Those are the best paints ever, I am blown away by the rich buttery colors. I also highly recommend the books, they have helped me loosen up so much. She has some great video/dvds too but you have to hunt a bit to find them. Thank you for the big smiles with your outfit, you are the best! (Don’t tell Reese)
Thank you for saving me some time. I was looking for your video that featured the watercolor bowls and had been randomly going through your videos looking. They will be my present to myself. Beauty inspires no matter where it is found. And as much as I like the big functional 3 slot bucket, it has never been beautiful. I think Rudolph suits Reese. Thanks for making my day with your outfit.
I always look forward to your gift ideas videos and this one did not disappoint. Any video that starts with you batting your eyelashes has got to be a great one.!
It was worth tuning in just to see your fancy head piece. I'm sure your Granddaughter will be snagging that along with your t-shirt which will make the perfect sleep shirt when she comes to visit. You were the first artist that I subscribed to and the artist I keep coming back to time and time again. Thanks for making such fun and informative videos.
Ha Ha.. yeah right! Gifts for others! I want all of these. Those books looked AMAZING! I do have the Portable Painter. Use it very often. Thanks Steve, & Reece! Lol. I have that grinch hat too. 🎄🙏🏻👍🥁
i have the kuretake brush pen , and love it !! it's wonderful to work with ... thanks for this video .. always cool to see different products !!! norakag, here 👍👍
Great ideas for a wide range of budgets. Those watercolor bowls are so beautiful, maybe one day… Those Uni pencils are great, however, that tin is overkill, in my opinion, especially the hard range-anything harder than 4H is a nail! The Jetstream Edge pens and the Kuretake brush pens are on my list. The Graphitint pencils are hard to get used to but a lot of fun and with interesting results. Very enjoyable video, thanks.
Oooooooo, Christmas shopping. Always some great gift ideas. Love the toned watercolor journals, the books and M. Graham set. There, shopping list done...now what do I get others for Christmas? 😁😁😁
I have the Etchr mini palate. It is great. The wells for the paint look small but they really hold a lot of paint. It’s sturdy ceramic. I love it. Good ideas!
Well done sir, so many ideas so little time to buy them all! But a great ideas for gift giving lists for family members who just want ideas for the artists in their lives! Sweet plug for the M.Graham paint set too! I have always wanted a portable painters palette, I just don’t do much Plein air anymore! You have created a wonderful list for any viewers those who are regulars and the ones just stopping bye! Happy Christmas Steve!
I really liked the little portable pallet with attached small water bins. Also... you showed the Hahnemuhle toner watercolor sketch book and in one of larger sketch books, you showed a large tree, with clumps of painted patches of leaves. Then the next page was this awesome large-barked tree sort of twisted a tad. Awesome tree. I loved painting trees with character in oils. There is this gnarled, twisted tree I passed on a very busy road that I would love to paint in watercolor. Trees have so much character. I've painted in oils using M. Graham's paints when I painted landscapes. You have given some great ideas to give to my daughter. I am a hard person to buy for but not in the art department. Thanks for these suggestions. And again, fantastic trees you painted! Happy Thanksgiving.
So happy to see the Ann Blockley books there! I have them both and her work is just spectacular! Thanks for all your hard work, Steve, and hunting out such a great selection of gift ideas.
I have the Derwent Drawing set and they are some of THE BEST colored pencils I've ever used for animal/landscape artwork, which is what the colors are geared towards. They are a fatter barrel pencil with creamy pigment that goes on and blends really nicely. Can't recommend them enough.
Excellent video Steve. Wow.. thanks so much! The orders were coming in as I was watching!, I will be firing and making books to order as they come through my website! I love that you support artists.
Thank you Steve for this wonderful video.and all of the amazing tutorials you write, produce and illustrate. Wishing you, and yours, a Blessed Christmas.
I like TWSBI’s, but my favorites in a less expensive pen is the Noodler’s Ahab. The points are quite flexible and they make demonstrator models - with clear bodies, so you know how much ink you have left.
Well Steve, I hope the supplies will be better than our local grocery stores. I 1st plan to go to our local independent art supply store. You know the one 😆... I also have been planning on purchasing a couple of classes for the special ones on my list. Our local artists have been kind of hard hit with this pandemic. Have a great holiday!
Just added a few items that i never knew existed to my santa list....aka my credit card. That color palette 🎨 you picked the colors for looks amazing and is defintely a gotta have. 👌
Made me rofl ! Great sense of humour thanks for the laughs and as always art knowledge and recommendations! And for getting this video up early and reminding me next time I blink it’s gunna be Christmas Eve x_x haha !
Thanks so much Steve and Reese I’ve been looking forward to this video since last year! Christmas wouldn’t be nearly so fun to shop for without my favorite elf’s recommendations, your both rocking the look this year! Thanks for all you do.
Wow that’s a lot of great ideas for gifts to give & a few to buy for myself. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on cool gifts for artists. Hope you have a wonderful holiday shopping 🛍 season too.
Been looking for a video like this, Steve! Gives me great responses to friends and family that ask what I’d like this year. Thanks for producing and Merry Christmas! 🎄🙏🏻❤️
Once again, Steve, you have compiled a very nice and inspirational list! Thank you! I have Ann Blockley's book "Experimental Flowers in Watercolour" and I can only highly reccommend it! So inspirational!
Okay, I'm agreeing with so many of your other viewers about this video. I want everything ❗❗ I already purchased a number of the micro portable palettes this past summer and also sets of Daniel Smith's six color watercolor essentials (I love having the warm and cool primary choices for great mixing) as parts of mini plein air kits for my watercoloring friends. Your picks are fantastic (as always). Thank you and Merry Christmas 🎄!!
I didn't have Reese down as a Grinch! I'm sure he'll cheer up by Christmas Eve. 😁 The Portable Painter micro looks like something I need to discipline me with a limited pallette. 😊
I used to feel the same until I found the Chinese market. Same acrylic resin at a fraction of the price with better nibs. Of course they aren't gift worthy, but they are better.
@@phillipstroll7385 i must have ordered from the wrong company then…ordered a set of 4 acrylic pens/Chinese company-the nibs are so terrible-the ink doesn’t feed property and they skip more than write…i’ll stick to my Twsbis, pilots…kawecos…😉 (although right now I’m really enjoying my restored vintage Sheaffers with 14k gold nibs-writing with these is such a pleasure!….)
What a lovely selection! I am in love with the graphitint pencils they are a joy to work with. Sad to say I think I have everything else except for your watercolor set, oops 🤭! I think I’ll put that on my list this year. Thank you for this Steve! 🌺
Man i just love you and your videos! You always have such great, positive energy and never fail to inspire!! These are all great gift suggestions!! Thanks brother, Happy Holidays!!🎄☃️
I love my mini potable pallete. Would really like to know what 6 colors you would choose. I am putting those Derwent colored grafit pencils as well as The new Matt Faber Castell grafit pencils. Love The Hunemuelle sketchbooks too. Never tried the tone paper just the whites.

This is a holiday classic, at this point ❤️❤️❤️ one of the first WC channels I ever watched.
I'm shopping for myself 😀 and Myself thanks you very much!
So glad you mentioned M Graham.you turned me on to them when I first watched your videos.they have remained my favorite.
You are so much fun to listen to and paint with. I smiled before I even hit play.
it's January 2023 and i think this is still a great list of idea's. thank you!
I love those bowls . They are 75$ so they must be well made. They are very nice.
I don't even paint plein air and I want that "portable painter original".
To heck with gifts! I want one of everything! 😂
The Derwent products look interesting. I don't like the shiny effect that most harder / lighter pencils can give, especially if you press hard.
I love your gift videos. I particularly liked that you featured the books by Ann Blockley. My husband and I were talking about here just a couple of weeks ago. We were on a day out in the Cotswolds and were talking about the time we visited her beautiful cottage. We went to visit her husband, who my husband knew through something computer techy.

And I have a couple of her books upstairs. The thing I remember most was the absolutely idyllic cottage and setting. Lovely place.
How did I completely miss Ann Blockley and her art? Gotta check those books! Thanks a lot!
Derwent has quickly become my favorite pencil maker.
All great gifts! I would be super happy with any one of those. Fountain pen, sable brush pen are the heavy hitters for me as a ink lover and watercolor. Portable pallette would be awesome but then seems incomplete with out paints. If someone gives you the m gram set, they really love you and I'd you willing to spend that much, I'm guessing spending another $30 plus on a portable painter and a sketchbook is no problem.
Thanks Steve, got both tan gray Hahnemuhle watercolor books. 👍👍👍👍
I'm in for the Hahnemuhle grey toned sketchbooks.
Had me smiling and giggling before even playing the video. Makes me feel sooooo festive! Thank you :-)
Same. I gave him a like before even watching it, just for setting the mood :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and nice sharing friend😃☺️..
Added to my 2022 birthday list in july. Don't worry I buy by own at 68, the only at to go👍👍
You look adorable!!! Love love that hat 👍🤭. Great video as well, good recommendations
What a fun video and I’m salivating!

I like the bowls!👍
I came for the outfit !!
I love, love, love you're outfit!!!
Would love you to do a demo with those colored graphite pencils. Please and thank you !
I love all of these ideas! I want to buy them for myself right now! 😍

Those tinted water soluble graphite and the charcoal sets look really interesting! :O Thanks for sharing your ideas :)

Good to see u and go through the clip
LOVE my TWSBI!
Thanks for your ideas. Wish you were my Santa!
Love your outfit! ❤️
Oooh, I want all of them
So happy to see the Ann Blockley books there! I have them both and her work is just spectacular! Thanks for all your hard work, Steve, and hunting out such a great selection of gift ideas.
So glad to see this today Steve. Just today, I was wondering if you'd do one this year. I love it and I thank you!
This made me drool, so many lovely art products. Great to her Derwent pronounced the British way. God bless and merry Christmas 🎄.
I have the Derwent Drawing set and they are some of THE BEST colored pencils I've ever used for animal/landscape artwork, which is what the colors are geared towards. They are a fatter barrel pencil with creamy pigment that goes on and blends really nicely. Can't recommend them enough.
Agreed, love them.
Loved this Steve
I always see (at least) a few things I want for myself ☺️ Thanks for this video.
Great video. Thanks 😊 Love the costumes!
Need to run out and get them for myself.
Great gift selection, except for the erasers.
The set I still want is the Derwent Drawing set.
Thanks for these great gift ideas. I never knew about electric erasers!
Excellent video Steve. Wow.. thanks so much! The orders were coming in as I was watching!, I will be firing and making books to order as they come through my website! I love that you support artists.
Excellent video, your ideas regarding presents for the artist in the family were great. Thank you for sharing.
Great suggestions!
Thank you Steve for this wonderful video.and all of the amazing tutorials you write, produce and illustrate. Wishing you, and yours, a Blessed Christmas.
I hope Derwent sponsors you because I’m totally buying some of their griphitint pencils!
They don't. But I do make a bit from Amazon if you use my link. 😁
Holiday gift ideas for artists….or as I call it “items I didn’t know I needed” 🤣 tinted graphite..I’ll put that on my list
Got some great gift ideas for myself, but I really need help with what to give other people. I always have such a hard time with that LOL
I like TWSBI’s, but my favorites in a less expensive pen is the Noodler’s Ahab. The points are quite flexible and they make demonstrator models - with clear bodies, so you know how much ink you have left.
Yes I have a clear demonstrator Ahab. Love it.
I would love one of each thing! I’ve been looking for a great pen.
Hey Steve, thank you for your video. Your inspiration just hit me. There's not alot of gift idea for artists here in the country of Belize
Well Steve, I hope the supplies will be better than our local grocery stores. I 1st plan to go to our local independent art supply store. You know the one 😆... I also have been planning on purchasing a couple of classes for the special ones on my list. Our local artists have been kind of hard hit with this pandemic. Have a great holiday!

I've been enjoying your 10 color set a lot. Definitely an amazing gift for any watercolorist friends!

Did you have to dress up for this? No.
Am I glad you did? Hell yeah!
The Rudolph nose also brought the entire list together. So perfect :)
Thanks so much ! I love each one of these products.
I didn't have Reese down as a Grinch! I'm sure he'll cheer up by Christmas Eve. 😁
The Portable Painter micro looks like something I need to discipline me with a limited pallette. 😊
Reese just likes the attention. He's always been a contrarian.

Love TWSBIs-they are my most consistent, economical but HIGH quality pens-my faves!!!
I used to feel the same until I found the Chinese market. Same acrylic resin at a fraction of the price with better nibs.
