I like how you got the kids perspective on these. I have this set and I use it mainly for cardmaking, they are really nice and I have used several real brush tipped marker brands and these are really good and way cheaper than ZIGs for example. I think the reason you don't find pigment info on these or any other markers for that matter (with the exception of Some Winsor & Newton ones) is because most markers use dies and not pigments. Copics are $7 a pop and they will fade too. Nature of the beast and since marker art is meant to be reproduced who cares what you use if you get the effect you want. I am familiar with Arteza and have many of their products and the colored pencils and paints d have lightfast info and the paints have pigment info too. I have been really pleased with the quality except for the watercolor which I found to be chalky. The gouache is amazing tho and super cheap! Great video!
Thank you, Lindsay! I'm really glad you enjoyed this. Prior to releasing this video, Arteza reached out to me and asked if I'd be willing to check out their products. You were the one who mentioned they were "good people" which got me to consider a cooperative effort. So, thank you for that! I'm looking forward to working with them and learning more about their products, which I'll likely hand-off to my students to enjoy, too! :)
Lindsay, I have a question about the Areza lightfast ratings on the colored pencils and maybe you can help. Do you know, does 3 crosses mean highly lightfast or does is mean fugitive? I only ask because I bought the set and the colors that are normally fugitive in other brands (such as pinks, and florescent type colors) seem to have the 3 crosses on them and other colors that are normally highly lightfast in other companies seem to have one cross on them. I am doing my own test in the window but was wondering if you knew how they conduct their ratings?
When I asked them this is what they said: + stand for lightfastness : +++ = at least 100 years; ++= at least 25-100 years; += at least 10-25 years But I think that it might be reversed on the pencils as I too noticed the pinks were a higher lightfast than other typically stable colors. I reckon they get they products done in different factories and some may use the ASTM ratings and some muse use the Blue wool scale. It will be intersting what you find out:)
Thank you Lindsay, glad to know that I am not the only one who noticed. I have a couple more weeks before I am going to check my little test lol. I chose three colors from each rating to test. I will let you know what I find out!
Thank you , we really appreciate your feedback. From our and other artists experience , real brush pens work best on the watercolor paper. Also we already added the color pigment names on our 12 and 96 sets, 24 and 48 are next to go. We would love to send you more stuff to test, your perspective is very unique and interesting. Thanks)
just got your 24 pack and while watching vids to see how to use them, I noticed the repeated comments on lack fo color names. My 24 set is named and lovely so far. I love that you guys actually listened to reviews and made a change.
I feel like these pens would be really good for calligraphy and lettering. Also the really faded and transparent effects that your one student got with them (The window with curtains in particular) was very impressive. They're going places!
I really enjoy arteza as a company. I love their watercolors. And those do have all the information regarding pigments, lightfastness, and transparency. They're very nice and vibrant. But definitely student grade. But I'm not complaining because I got a nice pallette for around 25$. My only real complaint is that you can purchase colors individually. When I first received them, the post office didn't treat my package so well. I had burnt Sienna everywhere. So I emailed them about buying a replacement tube, and before I could say no, they'd already sent me emails saying they were just going to send me a whole new set, an order confirmation (with no charge obviously) and shipping notifications. They are efficient and wonderful to work with. I hope they continue as they grow as a company.
Thank you, Emily Love! I will say, since this video, these students have all gone on to college. One is an amazing sculptor, the other is an incredible fashion designer, and the last is an impressive graphic designer. I hope that something I shared with them in my experience as a teacher helped play a role in their success! I really appreciate your kind words! Be well! ~ Mark
I have some good and expensive watercolor Brushpens from Faber Castell and they behave the Same - you need a paper that doesn’t soak in the color in order to be able to solve the pigment with water. As soon as you fount the right paper you can have a lot of fun with them :)
I loved your video and the fact that you included the students was great. I am a semi-beginner water colorist and I'm always wanting to try new techniques and tools. You were a delight to listen to and watch while creating your illustration. Thank you for sharing.
I love both the Zig clean color and Arteza rel brush. They both have there place. I am not a professional artist but I love creating and using color and being inspired. Thanks for an informative video Mark
I really love that you looked to your students for input, what a great way to get them involved, and to give us different view points of the same product! It was fun seeing the art they came up with too! I have gotten their colored pencils and haven't had the chance to try them yet. I was thinking about looking into these next, and this review has been really helpful!!
Thank you so much, Caution: Artist at Play! I'm really happy you enjoyed this. After further use of these brush pens, I've really taken to them. I have left them in the classroom for my students to enjoy, and they treat them like gold! lol! It's so great to see young people get excited over a new product. :)
Great video, very informative thankyou. I want to buy these for my daughter but have been sceptical, now i will do. Btw i absolutely LOVE your bear drawing!!!
Being a child of the 1970s, we simply did not have access to all the incredible art supplies or video reviews that young people have now. Yet, handing off a box of untested markers to students was like going back in time and that feeling I used to have when I got a new art toy to play with. These students are really amazing young artists. Thank you so much for checking this out! I hope you're well on your end! :)
What an awesome way to get these supplies reviewed! Also, what a great art-making environment these students have with colors everywhere, even on the ceiling! Thank you for using them on different papers. I have similar markers (different brand) coming to me and I will now try to use them across a variety of paper.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! I'm happy you liked this one! Yes, the art room my friend Doug has created is staggeringly wild with color and creativity. I know this gig will end and I'll be back at my corporate cubicle soon, so I'm just trying to soak it all in while I'm there. As for the papers, I cut some of the other papers I tried, like newsprint and vellum, because they just didn't work. I was going to try them on printer paper, too, but forgot. lol! I look forward to seeing what you get for markers and how you enjoy using them (to be honest, I don't use markers often, so these were kind of nice to try!) Hope all is well on your end! :)
I just got a set of these in the mail today and only ordered yesterday! I did just a quick color chart with them. None of my set of 96 were dry or had damaged tips which I had seen in a couple of reviews. Markers are not my favorite art supply, so did NOT want to spend gobs of money. I ordered from Arteza's website and only paid $66 for the set of 96. I also bought sets of 72 colored pencils and watercolor pencils. I really like the quality of the pencils... and yes I do have Prismacolors and Polychromos. I think these products are fabulous for the price and they have a fun color range as well.
It's so great you had the opportunity to share these with the kids. It was great to see their creativity. Awesome bear sketch too. Yes, this company sells for cheaper and they are student grade, but when fun is on the menu, who can resist? Especially when the prices are so great!
Thanks for another great video! This is going to be on the top of my list. I'm always on the lookout for watercolor brush pens to use on my paper clay dolls. Great artwork by the kids! Such talent. Keep up the good work. Libby
I really enjoyed your review. Having recently bought the 24 set I had a similar learning curve regarding the paper. I had seen a few people doing colouring with these pens and the colour moved so well on their pages. I eventually found that using a nice smooth hot press water color paper worked so well. The paper is nice and thick but because it is hot press and smooth, the colours move beautifully when activated by water. I find them such a fun product to play with in the adult colouring world.
Idk why but the video clip of the class room and those kids give me some serious 90s vibes. I even double checked the date to make sure I wasn’t watching a really old video. I was a kid in the 90s (my favorite time period) and use to hang out at my cousins high school so the look just reminded me of that period of time. I also wanted to add the kid in the grey shirt has some amazing skills! They all are very creative but the student in grey was truly impressive! He is certainly honing in on his “style”. Very grunge, a style I really admire.
I really enjoyed the video, it was great to see both you and the students using the pens to try them out and I liked how you tried them out on different kinds of paper as well. The bears looked great, you always create the most fun characters :)
These are up next on my art supply list. They look really easy for somebody who's never done anything serious with watercolors. And they're so much cheaper than brush tip markers while giving a similar effect.
I had their 96 marker set in my amazon wishlist and one morning a couple weeks ago I got an email that they had a lightening deal for $63.99. I jumped on it. I have the 80+ Zig Real brush markers and love both sets.
Thank you, Mark for the wonderful review of these pens. I recently purchased a set, but did not try them out, however, you inspired me to do so today. Giving the pens over to your top students was a brilliant idea, because these young people are serious about art, and want the best products. I loved your doodles; using the pens, and the different paper told the story. Only use the correct paper for the job. Thanks for the excellent review.
Thank you so much, Helen Schaefer! I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy them! Giving these to my students made sense because that's who Arteza is targeting. Might as well see what they think, and they thought they were fun... and that's good with me! lol! Best wishes! :)
I recently found out that they have 3 levels of products the classic, the premium, and the expert and they are each built for different levels of artistic skill
I've found that even with Winsor & Newton watercolor markers (which are pigment based and professional), that color pulls out easiest on hot press paper (or vellum bristol), but that it's workable for longer (you can remove strokes) if you use a toothy cold press paper. This is mostly true with the brush pen side of the W&N pens, I wouldn't advise using the bullet side for more than immediate details. You do have to work FAST when using them! And I would recommend layering colors before trying to blend out. But the results are really beautiful if you get the hang of it. Gee Massam does a ton of cool demos here on RUclips that I found very helpful. Cheers!
I have the set of 48 and while I enjoy using them, I need more practice. Thanks for the review on how they work with different papers as that's as important as the medium you are using. I was disappointed that Char has changed her videos to private. Since I enjoy your videos very much, I was looking forward to watching some that you recommended.
Thank you so much, Valerie! It was a fun way to test out a new product. We're all good here, though 3 feet of snow after getting 2 feet of snow is a bit much. Supposed to be another storm this weekend, too! lol!
A fun and interesting review! As a side note, Franklin Mieuli, who was the principal owner of the Golden State Warriors from 1962 - 1986, used to have a hand chair just like that in his office at what was then called the Oakland Coliseum (now Oracle Arena). He collected all kind of things in the shape of hands. 😉
Hi Amy! Glad you enjoyed this one. That's so cool about Franklin Mieuli! Someone had one of those hand chairs when I was at art school and people covered it in paint. It was so fun to look at, but nobody wanted to sit on it. lol! ;)
I like these Markers also. I think they are just as good as Zig clean color real brush Markers. I use them all the time. Thanks for your perspective on these. What a great Idea to give them to the kids. Loved watching them.
I don't have these yet but I do own the coloured pencils, they do have light fast ratings and the names of the colours are printed on the barrels. I really like them, I can honestly say I think they're as good as prismas but without the price tag. I would recommend them to students and professionals alike. Thanks for the review.
Thank you, Kathleen Obrien. I think the early runs of their products didn't include information on the barrel, and I assume they changed that after getting feedback, which is great for us! lol! I'm grateful for your time watching and especially your thoughtful feedback! :)"
Mark. love it. I just got contacted by Arteza to do a video, but I am waiting on the items to come. I really liked seeing this video:) I love having the kids test them out. That hand chair looks just like the one they had on the show "Out Of This World"
Arteza is definitely hitting the YT circle of friends, so to speak! I not only like their products, so far, but I like the company - very professional and nice people. I think you'll enjoy what they send you! Glad you enjoyed this video, and I'm grateful for your feedback!
M.D. Campbell they still have to send me some more information and I need to send them my address. I’m just waiting on the last email to come through so we can get the ball rolling. I always enjoy your videos. :). I also think Arteza is a well rounded company. Loads of variety.
Thank you I just bought these markers to use in my card making ! They are fun and the colors are bright and fun and most importantly to me is they were very affordable I was able to get the set of 48 for $16.00. love the students take and they look far more talented then I so good job Mr. Campbell another home run for you.
Wow, you've been a winner to 2 art giveaways in a short space of time (if I remember correctly); you've got some serious luck on your side, lol. It's so nice that you gave those students a chance to try the pens as well. The pens look like they'd be great for line work and the colour choice is great. Thank you for sharing this; I'll definitely have to try them out at some point ! :-)
Thank you, Shahema Tafader! Yes, I've been fortunate in the giveaway world, for sure! lol! One thing I do enjoy is donating some of the giveaway items to the school I work at. The students get to try new products and I feel good passing it along. I'd definitely put these brush pens at a student grade level, but a more astute student and/or artist can really make them work well. As one of my students mentioned, "these are for fun!," which is the best part of being an artist! Thank you and I hope you are well! :)
Love the bears. Personally I work mixed media and just ordered the 96 set of Arteza Brush Pens after trying out a smaller set. Using them as a base and then working color pencil over them is a joy. As the company claims, they are for all levels and at an affordable price and I couldn't agree more. I'll be adding them for my students as well.
Very nice intro, wouldn’t it be great if dentists would line their ceilings with art. Great product review, so much talent even in their doodles. I have a few Arteza products and get regular emails from them. I found them on Amazon. We seem to see a trend of you winning contests, keep it up! okay i would give you a hand in winning but we see you already have one. Take care, spring is coming.
Thank you, Essie! I'm always grateful for your feedback and support! And yes, I _love_ that ceiling! Imagine that in every classroom, all over the school, the students have been painting ceiling tiles for years! It's something my friend Doug has brought to the school and his creative influence carries throughout every classroom. It's amazing. lol @ the winning contests! Trust me, I'm not usually so good at those things! The lottery here can attest to that! :) And yes, spring is coming, but after 2 feet of snow last week and 3 more yesterday, I find it hard to believe! hehe!! Take care, as well! :)
I’ve seen a couple of art classrooms, especially in high schools, that have been decorated and it’s SO COOL. Really makes me wish I’d gotten to do that when I was a student! Fun fact-I had almost NO art classes in my whole life and seeing actual art classrooms as an adult makes the younger version of myself so jealous of the people that get to play in those spaces!! I’m wondering-do your students know about your RUclips channel? Do they know they’re famous?!?! =>..
Thank you so much for checking this out, Kat! I'm happy you liked it! I was fortunate in high school to have an art teacher that encouraged me to paint on the walls, try new things, and who introduced me to airbrushing (giving me my first Iwata airbrush for graduation). Being part of this classroom environment has its challenges, I won't lie. Some students are really into art while others, well, aren't. These three students are _all_ about art, so I was thrilled to have their input. And yes, they're aware of my channel, but I don't know if they actually watch! lol! Both they and I tried several different methods of testing these brush pens. I was actually painting right off the tip of one pen at one point, but it didn't work so well. Wetting the paper first and putting them pen into it also didn't yield very good results. There's a comment here from an Arteza rep, who mentioned that watercolor paper works best with these, and I have to say how fabulously the ink soaked into the paper. However, I really liked the effect using the Stillman & Birn paper, too. Anyhow, I'm rambling. Thank you again and I was at a loss for what to draw for this one, so in the end, I was "beary" happy with the results. hehe!! :)
I think Arteza products are really fun, like you and your student said. I have a few of their products but not these markers. I bought the gouache simply to have fun with it and see if I liked using gouache! It is pretty fun because I never had to really worry about spending too much money on something I may not like.
This is such a wonderful video, really love that classroom environment. Definitely good pens for fun doodles and inspiration, Maybe even if you are working on a thumbnail for color schemes will work too. I"m still so bias towards watercolors though they hold a special place on my heart lol
Thank you, Angel Drawing Studio! It's so fun to try new products, especially being a corporate designer where I don't usually get to try out things like this. I will say, the classroom environment has made me both older in some ways, but younger as an artist because of the constant inspiration from the amazing creative spirits around me. Cheers! :)
Great review and well thought out format for it. 👌 The pigment and how light fast they are might be issues if one's selling original art. If the art's going in a sketchbook and won't be seeing much exposure or is going to be scanned, photographed for books, prints etc I wouldn't worry about it. Whether or not a professional artist would use a low cost alternative depends on their own needs and preferences. I do hope you'll review some of their other products as well. There are a lot of Arteza products, but not a lot artist reviews from what I've seen.
Hi James and thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed this one. A spokesperson from Arteza mentioned in the comments below that with their newer sets they have begun printing the color names on the pens. They're a fairly new brand to the market so they're willing to listen to customer feedback, which is insanely great to see a company do. As another viewer mentioned, I could see myself using these pens for thumbnails, swatch layouts, and rough sketches. Even a student-mid grade product will have a solid use if the product is made well. I enjoyed these! Cheers! :)
I had an idea come to mind for a video. I don't think too many people if any have done it. 💁 A video specifically on how light, bright, and other yellows barely show up on bright, natural, or off white substrates and if there's any fix for it. It happens with markers, colored pencils, pens, crayons etc. It might make for an interesting video. Thanks for the reply. 🙋
Ohhh I am about to check this out. I have been eyeing these Brush pens because of the good price but was scared to pull the trigger and get because I was scared they were cheap and not very good
Did the water brush that you use for the pull-downs come with the marker set? I saw that it said Arteza on it. Just curious--thinking about purchasing.
My husband got me one of their sets of paints for Christmas. I'm super picky about what I paint with. I mean a single sheet of my paper costs more than about 3 sets of their paints! But I was willing to try it and I did have a whole lot of fun with them. I'll keep using them...just on different paper! And I'm now impressed that my husband, who knows absolutely nothing about art, was able to buy me an art supply I'd use again! I think their lack of info could be about copywrite/trademark safety. But I could be way, way off on that cause I know nothing about business! 😊
Hi Mark, i really enjoy to seen these wonderful talented students use these Arteza Real Brush Pens and Have Fun! The one i really love was the \Gorgeous red Lips and the cuthens whe could see the transparency of these and they all very great Artist, Please let them know whe really love theirs contributions to do the test and gave theirs so Honnest Feedback, what a fantastic review Mark, love your Gemtleman Bears LOL! love it so what else could whe expect for these Arteza Pens, i rthink the Paper is the key, i don't know what kind of paper these students use but i really love the results just Amazing! Thank You so much Mark for the great video andbig thumbs-ups to these wonderful Students Artists!
Thanks, Louise! I'm glad you enjoyed this and grateful for your reply. I'm looking forward to checking out more of their products! Is there anything in particular you might recommend? Cheers! :)
I am right now trying out their 48 colored premium pencils that come in a tube and they are very pigmented I like them a lot. The product I am curious about is their water color paper I think you get 2 to a pack of 32 sheets 140# very good price but is it quality paper or will it just shred when moisture gets on it lol. If it is good then is definitely worth it I believe. Normally I use Canson 140#
I do like the look of the colored pencils, too! The watercolor paper didn't hold a lot of interest, as I typically use artist grade paper, but now you've got me curious to know, as well! hehe! Thank you so much for sharing that! :)
I got a 48 set off Amazon for like 18 bucks and they are really nice for adult coloring books but really that is about it not good for a quality art piece. Edit: Arteza is a Chinese company that is trying to produce slightly above student grade supplies. I like their drawing paper and gouache a lot and their colored pencils do layer pretty good. My advise watch Amazon for a sale they have them all the time.
I was given Derwent watercolour pencils, except I don't know how to use them. Could you please show us how to use them? I also have normal Derwent pencils. They have lots of pigment. You only need to put on light or medium pressure.
I would like to know what exactly is this thing that is used to spread the colour. It looks like a a brush "filled" with water or smth idk. (cant hear the video if its said somewhere) Does anyone know?
Yes, up in the video description, I listed it. You're looking at a Pentel Waterbrush. Arteza actually makes their own waterbrushes, as do Sakura. I prefer the Pentel over all of them, though. While they are fantastic for travel and quick paintings, there are drawbacks to having a constant stream of water instead of like a regular paintbrush where you have to pick up the water. I admit, that when I'm just out and about, I use my waterbrushes ALL the time, just for fun but not really for any serious work. I hope that helps! Cheers! :)
First, just because a company calls their products "premium" or "professional" doesn't make them premium or professional. With 30 years of experience using dozens of marker products, I'm confident in my assessment that these are as close to "student" grade as you can get. I say this because of the design of the product, the way the tips split and fray after just a few uses, and that the ink runs out more quickly than other pens. There's no refill option and no way to repurchase individual pens to replace. But, what is your experience with these products, James Costulis? You say I'm applying too much pigment. Really? To me, I'm using the product as it's designed and to the style with which I've been creating my work for three decades. I think it's safe to say, yes - I know how to use them, just fine. But, if you've got some insight about how to use markers or these products, specifically, please consider sharing it with me so I can better understand the _right_ way to use them, since by your opinion, I don't. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers! :)
@@Crucibelle, thank you for your feedback on this. It's good to hear from someone who's actually using these pens. I thought they were fine, too, but it would've been nice if James had shared his insight. I would enjoy learning new ways of using products. Cheers to you! ;)
@@marutakelers1856 funny, at the start of the video, the woman says, "want to know how to use real brush pens _correctly_?" which is dubious, as she should have said "want to know _useful ways_ to use real brush pens." I get the point, but there is no wrong way to use them, just lots of fun ways to use them in different ways. If I were a beginner and saw that video, I'd think, "oh no, I've been using them wrong!" Still, there's some terrific info there and I'm glad you shared! Thank you. I just have a hang up when art tutorials suggest there's a right and a wrong way to do things. Cheers and again, thank you for sharing that! :)
From my perspective, bastet469, a LOT of the naming has to do with marketing. Companies label products "professional," "expert," "pro," and "artist grade," simply to target specific users and attach a higher price point. That's what prompted my video "Are Prismacolors a Scam?" because in the classroom we use student grade Scholars, as opposed to the more expensive Premiers. I would suggest before making any purchase, always check out reviews and ask questions when shopping retail. Some brands are simply made with higher quality materials that justify the higher price and label, like Copic and Faber Castell. Others, we'd have to explore to really understand. :)
I have an extremely difficult time seeing the point in these to be honest. Idk.. just use watercolours yes? But as always I enjoy your reviews and appreciated your work.
Thank you, manic angel! I appreciate your feedback and thoughts. I think a strong point to these is transportability, especially for students to whom they're heavily marketed for. Throw them in a pencil box and go, right? They have a place in the world, but it's most definitely not for most people. Stay well! :)
I love using them on my nebula series. If you want to see them. They on my Instagram . moonfairy44. I have only had mine an few weeks. After hubby saw them. As I use watercolor pencils as my main medium
Wow some talented students there!! I believe that Arteza has finally named the colors. I will say that I agree with your student. They are just fun. The other paints and pencils have more lightfast information. Also with the great price, the have free shipping and a lot of times, you can google for a coupon code and find one. I think once a month the post somewhere in the cyber world an new code. Example June was DAD20 which I am thinking had to do with fathers day. Thanks for sharing this!! Love that art room. I wished that I had taken art in High School. I did music. Now, I love playing and learning all the art mediums out there! Good luck to your students now that they have graduated. I know with their talent they will go far!! How fun that job is!!
Hey Mark,love your channel,great job!! If you are interested in viewing some videos by a SUPER talented guy go to Dan Beardshaw's channel...his drawings and technique will blow you away!😮😮😮
I purchased these pens from Amazon last week, 6of them were dry and of no use, I am sending them back, I went on to Arteza uk site and emailed them direct about these pens, sorry to say, I got no reply.
The coffee breaks part ... not the break itself but the sounds you use... hurts the ears... I enjoy some of your content but this overused sound of clapping and yelling is just I dont know, out of place?.. enough to make me not want to watch another video. Could be just me thou...
I like how you got the kids perspective on these. I have this set and I use it mainly for cardmaking, they are really nice and I have used several real brush tipped marker brands and these are really good and way cheaper than ZIGs for example. I think the reason you don't find pigment info on these or any other markers for that matter (with the exception of Some Winsor & Newton ones) is because most markers use dies and not pigments. Copics are $7 a pop and they will fade too. Nature of the beast and since marker art is meant to be reproduced who cares what you use if you get the effect you want. I am familiar with Arteza and have many of their products and the colored pencils and paints d have lightfast info and the paints have pigment info too. I have been really pleased with the quality except for the watercolor which I found to be chalky. The gouache is amazing tho and super cheap! Great video!
Thank you, Lindsay! I'm really glad you enjoyed this. Prior to releasing this video, Arteza reached out to me and asked if I'd be willing to check out their products. You were the one who mentioned they were "good people" which got me to consider a cooperative effort. So, thank you for that! I'm looking forward to working with them and learning more about their products, which I'll likely hand-off to my students to enjoy, too! :)
I think that is great because anytime we can get decent materials in kids hands the investment is ten fold!
Lindsay, I have a question about the Areza lightfast ratings on the colored pencils and maybe you can help. Do you know, does 3 crosses mean highly lightfast or does is mean fugitive? I only ask because I bought the set and the colors that are normally fugitive in other brands (such as pinks, and florescent type colors) seem to have the 3 crosses on them and other colors that are normally highly lightfast in other companies seem to have one cross on them. I am doing my own test in the window but was wondering if you knew how they conduct their ratings?
When I asked them this is what they said: + stand for lightfastness :
+++ = at least 100 years;
++= at least 25-100 years;
+= at least 10-25 years
But I think that it might be reversed on the pencils as I too noticed the pinks were a higher lightfast than other typically stable colors. I reckon they get they products done in different factories and some may use the ASTM ratings and some muse use the Blue wool scale. It will be intersting what you find out:)
Thank you Lindsay, glad to know that I am not the only one who noticed. I have a couple more weeks before I am going to check my little test lol. I chose three colors from each rating to test. I will let you know what I find out!
Thank you , we really appreciate your feedback. From our and other artists experience , real brush pens work best on the watercolor paper. Also we already added the color pigment names on our 12 and 96 sets, 24 and 48 are next to go.
We would love to send you more stuff to test, your perspective is very unique and interesting. Thanks)
just got your 24 pack and while watching vids to see how to use them, I noticed the repeated comments on lack fo color names. My 24 set is named and lovely so far. I love that you guys actually listened to reviews and made a change.
I feel like these pens would be really good for calligraphy and lettering. Also the really faded and transparent effects that your one student got with them (The window with curtains in particular) was very impressive. They're going places!
I really enjoy arteza as a company. I love their watercolors. And those do have all the information regarding pigments, lightfastness, and transparency. They're very nice and vibrant. But definitely student grade. But I'm not complaining because I got a nice pallette for around 25$. My only real complaint is that you can purchase colors individually. When I first received them, the post office didn't treat my package so well. I had burnt Sienna everywhere. So I emailed them about buying a replacement tube, and before I could say no, they'd already sent me emails saying they were just going to send me a whole new set, an order confirmation (with no charge obviously) and shipping notifications. They are efficient and wonderful to work with. I hope they continue as they grow as a company.
Wow. Kool. Guess ill have to try these out myself. Thnx
The art they made was so pretty. I love all the different styles coming together. Very cool. You seem like an awesome teacher!
Thank you, Emily Love! I will say, since this video, these students have all gone on to college. One is an amazing sculptor, the other is an incredible fashion designer, and the last is an impressive graphic designer. I hope that something I shared with them in my experience as a teacher helped play a role in their success! I really appreciate your kind words! Be well! ~ Mark
@@MDCampbell I think that’s incredibly cool! Thank you for sharing. I’ve really come to love your channel 😊
I never thought about painting ceiling tiles. That's cool! Thanks for reviewing these pens.
Thank you for watching and leaving your thoughts, GW Gardenwife! Cheers! :)
I have some good and expensive watercolor Brushpens from Faber Castell and they behave the Same - you need a paper that doesn’t soak in the color in order to be able to solve the pigment with water. As soon as you fount the right paper you can have a lot of fun with them :)
I fell in love with these. I have all the Tombows. These are definitely different, but for what they are, they rock.
I loved your video and the fact that you included the students was great. I am a semi-beginner water colorist and I'm always wanting to try new techniques and tools. You were a delight to listen to and watch while creating your illustration. Thank you for sharing.
I love both the Zig clean color and Arteza rel brush. They both have there place. I am not a professional artist but I love creating and using color and being inspired. Thanks for an informative video Mark
Thank you, Kathryn! I totally agree about each having their place. I'm glad you enjoyed this one! Cheers! :)
I really love that you looked to your students for input, what a great way to get them involved, and to give us different view points of the same product! It was fun seeing the art they came up with too! I have gotten their colored pencils and haven't had the chance to try them yet. I was thinking about looking into these next, and this review has been really helpful!!
Thank you so much, Caution: Artist at Play! I'm really happy you enjoyed this. After further use of these brush pens, I've really taken to them. I have left them in the classroom for my students to enjoy, and they treat them like gold! lol! It's so great to see young people get excited over a new product. :)
That is so cool! It's great that you have left them in the classroom for the students, I'm sure they really appreciate that!
Very good video, I really enjoyed this classroom, the ceiling is fantastic, super creative, and these markers are fantastic!
Thank you, MC Grafite! I appreciate your feedback very much! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great video, very informative thankyou. I want to buy these for my daughter but have been sceptical, now i will do. Btw i absolutely LOVE your bear drawing!!!
Thanks for the review Mark! It was really interesting to have the students' input as well :)
Being a child of the 1970s, we simply did not have access to all the incredible art supplies or video reviews that young people have now. Yet, handing off a box of untested markers to students was like going back in time and that feeling I used to have when I got a new art toy to play with. These students are really amazing young artists. Thank you so much for checking this out! I hope you're well on your end! :)
What an awesome way to get these supplies reviewed! Also, what a great art-making environment these students have with colors everywhere, even on the ceiling! Thank you for using them on different papers. I have similar markers (different brand) coming to me and I will now try to use them across a variety of paper.
Thank you so much, Jennifer! I'm happy you liked this one! Yes, the art room my friend Doug has created is staggeringly wild with color and creativity. I know this gig will end and I'll be back at my corporate cubicle soon, so I'm just trying to soak it all in while I'm there. As for the papers, I cut some of the other papers I tried, like newsprint and vellum, because they just didn't work. I was going to try them on printer paper, too, but forgot. lol! I look forward to seeing what you get for markers and how you enjoy using them (to be honest, I don't use markers often, so these were kind of nice to try!) Hope all is well on your end! :)
I just got a set of these in the mail today and only ordered yesterday! I did just a quick color chart with them. None of my set of 96 were dry or had damaged tips which I had seen in a couple of reviews. Markers are not my favorite art supply, so did NOT want to spend gobs of money. I ordered from Arteza's website and only paid $66 for the set of 96. I also bought sets of 72 colored pencils and watercolor pencils. I really like the quality of the pencils... and yes I do have Prismacolors and Polychromos. I think these products are fabulous for the price and they have a fun color range as well.
It's so great you had the opportunity to share these with the kids. It was great to see their creativity. Awesome bear sketch too. Yes, this company sells for cheaper and they are student grade, but when fun is on the menu, who can resist? Especially when the prices are so great!
Great video as we always expect. Thanks for sharing Mark. Nice chair too.
Thank you, ismail abdelhamid! I always appreciate your kind words and support! I hope you are well! :)
Great review Mark and it’s wonderful that you included your students👍😎
Thank you so much, Lisa! I'm glad you enjoyed this! I hope you're well! :)
Thanks for another great video! This is going to be on the top of my list. I'm always on the lookout for watercolor brush pens to use on my paper clay dolls. Great artwork by the kids! Such talent. Keep up the good work.
Libby
Thank you so much, Libby Jones! I appreciate your time watching and such kind feedback! Cheers! :)
Awesome way tor review a product! Anything that promotes creativity is a win in my book!
I totally agree, Lisa! Thank you for checking this out! :)
I really enjoyed your review. Having recently bought the 24 set I had a similar learning curve regarding the paper. I had seen a few people doing colouring with these pens and the colour moved so well on their pages. I eventually found that using a nice smooth hot press water color paper worked so well. The paper is nice and thick but because it is hot press and smooth, the colours move beautifully when activated by water. I find them such a fun product to play with in the adult colouring world.
Thank you, Elizabeth Wright! I agree with you and glad you enjoy the products, too! :)
Idk why but the video clip of the class room and those kids give me some serious 90s vibes. I even double checked the date to make sure I wasn’t watching a really old video. I was a kid in the 90s (my favorite time period) and use to hang out at my cousins high school so the look just reminded me of that period of time. I also wanted to add the kid in the grey shirt has some amazing skills! They all are very creative but the student in grey was truly impressive! He is certainly honing in on his “style”. Very grunge, a style I really admire.
I really enjoyed the video, it was great to see both you and the students using the pens to try them out and I liked how you tried them out on different kinds of paper as well. The bears looked great, you always create the most fun characters :)
These are up next on my art supply list. They look really easy for somebody who's never done anything serious with watercolors. And they're so much cheaper than brush tip markers while giving a similar effect.
I had their 96 marker set in my amazon wishlist and one morning a couple weeks ago I got an email that they had a lightening deal for $63.99. I jumped on it. I have the 80+ Zig Real brush markers and love both sets.
I got it on Amazon for $32
(96 set too)
Thank you, Mark for the wonderful review of these pens. I recently purchased a set, but did not try them out, however, you inspired me to do so today. Giving the pens over to your top students was a brilliant idea, because these young people are serious about art, and want the best products. I loved your doodles; using the pens, and the different paper told the story. Only use the correct paper for the job. Thanks for the excellent review.
Thank you so much, Helen Schaefer! I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy them! Giving these to my students made sense because that's who Arteza is targeting. Might as well see what they think, and they thought they were fun... and that's good with me! lol! Best wishes! :)
Hi Mark I went to char’s channel and it private???
OMG that last sketch had me on the floor. True genius :)
I recently found out that they have 3 levels of products the classic, the premium, and the expert and they are each built for different levels of artistic skill
I've found that even with Winsor & Newton watercolor markers (which are pigment based and professional), that color pulls out easiest on hot press paper (or vellum bristol), but that it's workable for longer (you can remove strokes) if you use a toothy cold press paper. This is mostly true with the brush pen side of the W&N pens, I wouldn't advise using the bullet side for more than immediate details. You do have to work FAST when using them! And I would recommend layering colors before trying to blend out. But the results are really beautiful if you get the hang of it. Gee Massam does a ton of cool demos here on RUclips that I found very helpful. Cheers!
I have the set of 48 and while I enjoy using them, I need more practice. Thanks for the review on how they work with different papers as that's as important as the medium you are using.
I was disappointed that Char has changed her videos to private. Since I enjoy your videos very much, I was looking forward to watching some that you recommended.
Great video Mark! 😁 I'm glad the students enjoyed just having fun. I hope you are doing well & staying warm my friend. 🤗
Thank you so much, Valerie! It was a fun way to test out a new product. We're all good here, though 3 feet of snow after getting 2 feet of snow is a bit much. Supposed to be another storm this weekend, too! lol!
A fun and interesting review! As a side note, Franklin Mieuli, who was the principal owner of the Golden State Warriors from 1962 - 1986, used to have a hand chair just like that in his office at what was then called the Oakland Coliseum (now Oracle Arena). He collected all kind of things in the shape of hands. 😉
Hi Amy! Glad you enjoyed this one. That's so cool about Franklin Mieuli! Someone had one of those hand chairs when I was at art school and people covered it in paint. It was so fun to look at, but nobody wanted to sit on it. lol! ;)
I like these Markers also. I think they are just as good as Zig clean color real brush Markers. I use them all the time. Thanks for your perspective on these. What a great Idea to give them to the kids. Loved watching them.
I don't have these yet but I do own the coloured pencils, they do have light fast ratings and the names of the colours are printed on the barrels. I really like them, I can honestly say I think they're as good as prismas but without the price tag. I would recommend them to students and professionals alike. Thanks for the review.
Thank you, Kathleen Obrien. I think the early runs of their products didn't include information on the barrel, and I assume they changed that after getting feedback, which is great for us! lol! I'm grateful for your time watching and especially your thoughtful feedback! :)"
i love your channel! you make great videos and have a very nice personality, plus i like your style
Thank you very much, Crazy Mai! I appreciate your feedback! :)
Mark. love it. I just got contacted by Arteza to do a video, but I am waiting on the items to come. I really liked seeing this video:) I love having the kids test them out. That hand chair looks just like the one they had on the show "Out Of This World"
Arteza is definitely hitting the YT circle of friends, so to speak! I not only like their products, so far, but I like the company - very professional and nice people. I think you'll enjoy what they send you! Glad you enjoyed this video, and I'm grateful for your feedback!
M.D. Campbell they still have to send me some more information and I need to send them my address. I’m just waiting on the last email to come through so we can get the ball rolling. I always enjoy your videos. :). I also think Arteza is a well rounded company. Loads of variety.
Thank you I just bought these markers to use in my card making ! They are fun and the colors are bright and fun and most importantly to me is they were very affordable I was able to get the set of 48 for $16.00. love the students take and they look far more talented then I so good job Mr. Campbell another home run for you.
Wow, you've been a winner to 2 art giveaways in a short space of time (if I remember correctly); you've got some serious luck on your side, lol. It's so nice that you gave those students a chance to try the pens as well. The pens look like they'd be great for line work and the colour choice is great. Thank you for sharing this; I'll definitely have to try them out at some point ! :-)
Thank you, Shahema Tafader! Yes, I've been fortunate in the giveaway world, for sure! lol! One thing I do enjoy is donating some of the giveaway items to the school I work at. The students get to try new products and I feel good passing it along. I'd definitely put these brush pens at a student grade level, but a more astute student and/or artist can really make them work well. As one of my students mentioned, "these are for fun!," which is the best part of being an artist! Thank you and I hope you are well! :)
Love the bears. Personally I work mixed media and just ordered the 96 set of Arteza Brush Pens after trying out a smaller set. Using them as a base and then working color pencil over them is a joy. As the company claims, they are for all levels and at an affordable price and I couldn't agree more. I'll be adding them for my students as well.
Very nice intro, wouldn’t it be great if dentists would line their ceilings with art. Great product review, so much talent even in their doodles. I have a few Arteza products and get regular emails from them. I found them on Amazon. We seem to see a trend of you winning contests, keep it up! okay i would give you a hand in winning but we see you already have one. Take care, spring is coming.
Thank you, Essie! I'm always grateful for your feedback and support! And yes, I _love_ that ceiling! Imagine that in every classroom, all over the school, the students have been painting ceiling tiles for years! It's something my friend Doug has brought to the school and his creative influence carries throughout every classroom. It's amazing. lol @ the winning contests! Trust me, I'm not usually so good at those things! The lottery here can attest to that! :) And yes, spring is coming, but after 2 feet of snow last week and 3 more yesterday, I find it hard to believe! hehe!! Take care, as well! :)
M.D. Campbell well I’m ashamed of me, I keep whining about the drought here... I think we all could use some moderation of weather extremes.
Essie Tangle op
Essie Tangle most excellent idea!!!
Those poor bears don't seem to be having too much fun. But you do. : )
Thanks for the review.
Thank you for checking it out, Lili Tincher! :)
I’ve seen a couple of art classrooms, especially in high schools, that have been decorated and it’s SO COOL. Really makes me wish I’d gotten to do that when I was a student! Fun fact-I had almost NO art classes in my whole life and seeing actual art classrooms as an adult makes the younger version of myself so jealous of the people that get to play in those spaces!!
I’m wondering-do your students know about your RUclips channel? Do they know they’re famous?!?! =>..
Thank you so much for checking this out, Kat! I'm happy you liked it! I was fortunate in high school to have an art teacher that encouraged me to paint on the walls, try new things, and who introduced me to airbrushing (giving me my first Iwata airbrush for graduation). Being part of this classroom environment has its challenges, I won't lie. Some students are really into art while others, well, aren't. These three students are _all_ about art, so I was thrilled to have their input. And yes, they're aware of my channel, but I don't know if they actually watch! lol! Both they and I tried several different methods of testing these brush pens. I was actually painting right off the tip of one pen at one point, but it didn't work so well. Wetting the paper first and putting them pen into it also didn't yield very good results. There's a comment here from an Arteza rep, who mentioned that watercolor paper works best with these, and I have to say how fabulously the ink soaked into the paper. However, I really liked the effect using the Stillman & Birn paper, too. Anyhow, I'm rambling. Thank you again and I was at a loss for what to draw for this one, so in the end, I was "beary" happy with the results. hehe!! :)
Love...the One-Eyed Bear!
😆......🐻 💕💕 Very interesting markers..🎨
Thank you so much, Cherie! I'm glad you liked the "cyclops" bear. He's my favorite, too! lol! :)
M.D. Campbell
Oh your very welcome...😊💕
Thank you for the great review!!
You're welcome, Terri Sanner, and thank you for checking this one out! :)
I think Arteza products are really fun, like you and your student said. I have a few of their products but not these markers. I bought the gouache simply to have fun with it and see if I liked using gouache! It is pretty fun because I never had to really worry about spending too much money on something I may not like.
This is such a wonderful video, really love that classroom environment. Definitely good pens for fun doodles and inspiration, Maybe even if you are working on a thumbnail for color schemes will work too. I"m still so bias towards watercolors though they hold a special place on my heart lol
Thank you, Angel Drawing Studio! It's so fun to try new products, especially being a corporate designer where I don't usually get to try out things like this. I will say, the classroom environment has made me both older in some ways, but younger as an artist because of the constant inspiration from the amazing creative spirits around me. Cheers! :)
Why didn't you wet the paper first and then apply the colour. I think that would lead to a different result.
Unfortunately, wetting the paper first and using the markers didn't have favorable results. Different, yes, but not what I would recommend. :)
Great review and well thought out format for it. 👌 The pigment and how light fast they are might be issues if one's selling original art. If the art's going in a sketchbook and won't be seeing much exposure or is going to be scanned, photographed for books, prints etc I wouldn't worry about it. Whether or not a professional artist would use a low cost alternative depends on their own needs and preferences.
I do hope you'll review some of their other products as well. There are a lot of Arteza products, but not a lot artist reviews from what I've seen.
Hi James and thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed this one. A spokesperson from Arteza mentioned in the comments below that with their newer sets they have begun printing the color names on the pens. They're a fairly new brand to the market so they're willing to listen to customer feedback, which is insanely great to see a company do. As another viewer mentioned, I could see myself using these pens for thumbnails, swatch layouts, and rough sketches. Even a student-mid grade product will have a solid use if the product is made well. I enjoyed these! Cheers! :)
I had an idea come to mind for a video. I don't think too many people if any have done it. 💁 A video specifically on how light, bright, and other yellows barely show up on bright, natural, or off white substrates and if there's any fix for it. It happens with markers, colored pencils, pens, crayons etc. It might make for an interesting video. Thanks for the reply. 🙋
I just received my pens and i love them. Mine do have color names on them. They may have just added that after others complained.
Ohhh I am about to check this out. I have been eyeing these Brush pens because of the good price but was scared to pull the trigger and get because I was scared they were cheap and not very good
Did the water brush that you use for the pull-downs come with the marker set? I saw that it said Arteza on it. Just curious--thinking about purchasing.
My husband got me one of their sets of paints for Christmas. I'm super picky about what I paint with. I mean a single sheet of my paper costs more than about 3 sets of their paints! But I was willing to try it and I did have a whole lot of fun with them. I'll keep using them...just on different paper! And I'm now impressed that my husband, who knows absolutely nothing about art, was able to buy me an art supply I'd use again! I think their lack of info could be about copywrite/trademark safety. But I could be way, way off on that cause I know nothing about business! 😊
Hi Mark, i really enjoy to seen these wonderful talented students use these Arteza Real Brush Pens and Have Fun! The one i really love was the \Gorgeous red Lips and the cuthens whe could see the transparency of these and they all very great Artist, Please let them know whe really love theirs contributions to do the test and gave theirs so Honnest Feedback, what a fantastic review Mark, love your Gemtleman Bears LOL! love it so what else could whe expect for these Arteza Pens, i rthink the Paper is the key, i don't know what kind of paper these students use but i really love the results just Amazing! Thank You so much Mark for the great video andbig thumbs-ups to these wonderful Students Artists!
Thank you for this great review!! I have several of their products and I really like them but I do not have these yet hopefully very soon. Tfs :)
Thanks, Louise! I'm glad you enjoyed this and grateful for your reply. I'm looking forward to checking out more of their products! Is there anything in particular you might recommend? Cheers! :)
I am right now trying out their 48 colored premium pencils that come in a tube and they are very pigmented I like them a lot. The product I am curious about is their water color paper I think you get 2 to a pack of 32 sheets 140# very good price but is it quality paper or will it just shred when moisture gets on it lol. If it is good then is definitely worth it I believe. Normally I use Canson 140#
I do like the look of the colored pencils, too! The watercolor paper didn't hold a lot of interest, as I typically use artist grade paper, but now you've got me curious to know, as well! hehe! Thank you so much for sharing that! :)
I really enjoy your videos, very engaging! You’ve gained a new subscriber :) God Bless!!!
Wow, thank you, kitty506! I'm grateful for your time and appreciate your kind words! Thank you and hope all is well in your world! Cheers! :)
I got a 48 set off Amazon for like 18 bucks and they are really nice for adult coloring books but really that is about it not good for a quality art piece. Edit: Arteza is a Chinese company that is trying to produce slightly above student grade supplies. I like their drawing paper and gouache a lot and their colored pencils do layer pretty good. My advise watch Amazon for a sale they have them all the time.
I was given Derwent watercolour pencils, except I don't know how to use them. Could you please show us how to use them?
I also have normal Derwent pencils. They have lots of pigment. You only need to put on light or medium pressure.
Really cool i love the idea 🙌❤️😲
I would like to know what exactly is this thing that is used to spread the colour. It looks like a a brush "filled" with water or smth idk. (cant hear the video if its said somewhere) Does anyone know?
Yes, up in the video description, I listed it. You're looking at a Pentel Waterbrush. Arteza actually makes their own waterbrushes, as do Sakura. I prefer the Pentel over all of them, though. While they are fantastic for travel and quick paintings, there are drawbacks to having a constant stream of water instead of like a regular paintbrush where you have to pick up the water. I admit, that when I'm just out and about, I use my waterbrushes ALL the time, just for fun but not really for any serious work. I hope that helps! Cheers! :)
You can scribble onto a palette and use like watercolours :)
Great idea! Thx!
They now have names and numbers on the markers.
Thank you, Kimberly. That's good to know! :)
I just got arteza real brush pens and on the very end of the pen it has a code then next to that there is a colour name
I’ve heard good things about their products.
I'm definitely interested to check out more of their art gear! :)
Thanks Mark.
You're welcome, and thank you.
No, they’re a artist grade pen. He is just applying too much pigment (you need to know how to use them).
First, just because a company calls their products "premium" or "professional" doesn't make them premium or professional. With 30 years of experience using dozens of marker products, I'm confident in my assessment that these are as close to "student" grade as you can get. I say this because of the design of the product, the way the tips split and fray after just a few uses, and that the ink runs out more quickly than other pens. There's no refill option and no way to repurchase individual pens to replace. But, what is your experience with these products, James Costulis? You say I'm applying too much pigment. Really? To me, I'm using the product as it's designed and to the style with which I've been creating my work for three decades. I think it's safe to say, yes - I know how to use them, just fine. But, if you've got some insight about how to use markers or these products, specifically, please consider sharing it with me so I can better understand the _right_ way to use them, since by your opinion, I don't. Looking forward to your thoughts. Cheers! :)
@@Crucibelle, thank you for your feedback on this. It's good to hear from someone who's actually using these pens. I thought they were fine, too, but it would've been nice if James had shared his insight. I would enjoy learning new ways of using products. Cheers to you! ;)
Good info, thank you.
According to the tutorial I saw, you have to wet the paper before you draw on it, if you want the ink to flow much.
Wow, I hadn't heard that before. It would sound logical if they were watercolor pens, but these are ink, so that's news to me. Thank you!
@@MDCampbell ruclips.net/video/NWTgHrruP4Y/видео.html
@@marutakelers1856 funny, at the start of the video, the woman says, "want to know how to use real brush pens _correctly_?" which is dubious, as she should have said "want to know _useful ways_ to use real brush pens." I get the point, but there is no wrong way to use them, just lots of fun ways to use them in different ways. If I were a beginner and saw that video, I'd think, "oh no, I've been using them wrong!" Still, there's some terrific info there and I'm glad you shared! Thank you. I just have a hang up when art tutorials suggest there's a right and a wrong way to do things. Cheers and again, thank you for sharing that! :)
@@MDCampbell I can understand your objecting to anything which may limit creativity. I'm glad if any of the information was helpful to your work. :)
@@marutakelers1856 oh, it was all very helpful! I'm so happy you chose to share! Have a wonderful weekend! ~ Mark
Is there such a thing as "artist grade brush pens"? I thought they were all student/craft grade.
From my perspective, bastet469, a LOT of the naming has to do with marketing. Companies label products "professional," "expert," "pro," and "artist grade," simply to target specific users and attach a higher price point. That's what prompted my video "Are Prismacolors a Scam?" because in the classroom we use student grade Scholars, as opposed to the more expensive Premiers. I would suggest before making any purchase, always check out reviews and ask questions when shopping retail. Some brands are simply made with higher quality materials that justify the higher price and label, like Copic and Faber Castell. Others, we'd have to explore to really understand. :)
Great vid
Thank you, Jeff!
Nice., Cool review.. 👍👍
Thank you, pawath nath! :)
I have an extremely difficult time seeing the point in these to be honest. Idk.. just use watercolours yes? But as always I enjoy your reviews and appreciated your work.
Thank you, manic angel! I appreciate your feedback and thoughts. I think a strong point to these is transportability, especially for students to whom they're heavily marketed for. Throw them in a pencil box and go, right? They have a place in the world, but it's most definitely not for most people. Stay well! :)
Much neater and easier to travel with.
I love using them on my nebula series. If you want to see them. They on my Instagram . moonfairy44. I have only had mine an few weeks. After hubby saw them. As I use watercolor pencils as my main medium
mine were so dry.. maybe my paper was wrong
I've heard of some folks spraying the paper with water before using. Good idea, but kind of defeats the purpose, I think, too?
Arteza is simple the Best.......
Wow some talented students there!! I believe that Arteza has finally named the colors. I will say that I agree with your student. They are just fun. The other paints and pencils have more lightfast information. Also with the great price, the have free shipping and a lot of times, you can google for a coupon code and find one. I think once a month the post somewhere in the cyber world an new code. Example June was DAD20 which I am thinking had to do with fathers day. Thanks for sharing this!! Love that art room. I wished that I had taken art in High School. I did music. Now, I love playing and learning all the art mediums out there! Good luck to your students now that they have graduated. I know with their talent they will go far!! How fun that job is!!
Hey Mark,love your channel,great job!! If you are interested in viewing some videos by a SUPER talented guy go to Dan Beardshaw's channel...his drawings and technique will blow you away!😮😮😮
I purchased these pens from Amazon last week, 6of them were dry and of no use, I am sending them back, I went on to Arteza uk site and emailed them direct about these pens, sorry to say, I got no reply.
The coffee breaks part ... not the break itself but the sounds you use... hurts the ears... I enjoy some of your content but this overused sound of clapping and yelling is just I dont know, out of place?.. enough to make me not want to watch another video. Could be just me thou...
Sorry you feel that way. It's kind of a standard, and hopefully, just knowing that it's in most of my videos might lend a warning ahead of time. :(
