I like to do arty things in my spare time and this channel holds me accountable. I use a mixture of media, from pen and pencil to watercolor, gouache and even oil pastels and acrylics! If it's colorful and fun to try, I will give it a go!
My least used art supplies in 2024!
Hey arty friends! I'm back with a new video, this time sharing the least used art supplies of 2024! This is a mix of art supplies I bought in art hauls in 2023 and a few odd bits earlier this. It's fascinating to see how my monthly challenges have 'lifted' some of last years less used art supplies up into this years most used!
I hope you enjoy the video, let me know what art supplies you've barely used this year in the comments!
Much love,
Evie

A little Jacksons art haul

I've been quite good this year and bought less art supplies compared to 2023, but this little haul from Jacksons Art in the UK arrived this week so I thought I'd share it with you. I do have quite a few little 'art haul snippets' to put together into a bigger art haul, but I'll do that in December when time is more on my side! Hope you enjoy this little ASMR unboxing, and the swatching of the n...
Swatching 'new to me' watercolors!
Переглядів 630Місяць тому
I got sent these tubes of watercolor paints, and thought a great way to test them out would be to swatch them over three paper types - because we know how much I love seeing color on paper! In this video I'm using the Canson XL cold press paper, my white paper Talens sketchbook and a concertina cotton paper sketchbook from Paul Rubens. They are student grade, so not quite as pigmented as I'm us...
Sketchbook Flip Through - Aug to Oct 2024! 🎨✏️😍

IN October I finished another sketchbook - the cork covered A5 art creation by Talent sketchbook. This one has white paper and I find it fills up quickly because of how much I enjoy the white paper. This is not a *perfect* sketchbook - unless you're ok with a sketchbook being about play and experimenting rather than perfectly finished pieces. In that case, this *is* perfect! 😉 Hope you enjoy th...

Inktober 2024 is a monthly challenge run in October of each year. It has an 'offiicial' list of prompts, but there are also many spin offs / other takes on this for the month.

Roman Szmal & Me 4EVER? 👀

I have a selection of wet and dry gouache, including acryla gouache which I've not used yet, so I'm excited to jump into this month of gouache-play and explore how they work and what I can do with them.

Square oil pastels in colours that are too delicious! 😍
Переглядів 1,5 тис.2 місяці тому
I was sent these gorgeous square oil pastels months ago.. but customs / EU import rules meant that they got lost for a while. Today, I finally unpacked and swatched them out and I could NOT STOP DROOLING! Things I love: 1. The color selection. Morandi. They are FAR too yummy. 2. They're square. I can get straight lines and blocks of colour. 3. They blend nicely (but I forgot to include some ext...

Swatch my new Paul Rubens Haiya oil pastels
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
I was sent some new oil pastels to have fun with - but these are JUMBO sized oil pastels, with each one being the equivalent of 7 regular pastels! They are also SUPER soft and I even managed to use my palette knife with them, something I couldn't do well with the Pentels.... I had great fun swatching them out in this video and will create something fun with them when back from my trip to the UK...

If you caught my video from last year about my worst buys or art supplies, you'll know that the Roman Szmal watercolors were up on that list. So, after months of challenging myself to practice with my art supplies, it's time to put mu palette of Roman Szmal watercolors to the test.

Look so much fun🩷🩷 I will purchase that😊
One of your rewards for completing your big, secret project must be fearlessly using that glorious brush. 💗💗💗You’ve earned it.
That squirrel brush you have...wow...to die for!!! Today, that would cost easily maybe 150-200 pounds...and if you ever decide to get out a big sheet of watercolour paper, tape it onto some gater board...YOU ARE ALL SET with the right size brushes...also...you can wet that brush and remove most of the water from the belly...it will come to a very sharp point...and will hold a TON of water...it will bend very easy...but always have a sharp point when wet...indispensable!!!...as well as your hake goat hair brushes...for a flat wash...it is all in the amount of water they hold...To buy that water holding capacity in a siberian sable brush...size 16...you pay way more, due to the length of the hairs, and the amount of them.....I would most definitely HOLD ONTO those brushes, for that "rainy day" when painting a WHOLE SHEET...20"X30" SEEMS TO FLOAT YOUR BOAT. I too avoid my acrylics and acryla gouache...mostly because I don't like to work quickly,...worry about how to clean the brushes...and water disposable...is out the door, down the outhouse hole...basically...not as familiar as watersoluable stuff, and more tricky....flatter/plasticy, less texture...though there is all the " add on's for that...but I am going there one day soon...in 2025...Looking forward to maybe going there with you , on your video...thanks again for a great video...Merry Christmas...janis
ii appreciate this, sans guilt ... using supplies is a scheduling endeavor ... seeing them sometimes helps...
Scheduling is a good take.. I dragged out my Luminance pencils today and have been drawing away, so that's something. 😆
Happy Holidays!
Thank you, and to you too! 🎄
Welcome back ☺
Thanks Chantelle! 😘
Use the really expensive brush! They are amazing. I have three Raphael natural hair brushes and a DaVinci travel brush. They are glorious to paint with. The mop brushes will come to the most wonderful point.
Thanks Leann! After all the encouragement here in the comments, I may get it out tomorrow in a quiet moment and try have some fun with it! 😘
Good video. I'd say £100 is only wasted if you buy a brush and never use it. It's not a waste if you put the brush to use!
That is SUCH a good point, thank you! ❤️
Luminance pencils how?! 🥺😅 just kidding, but i couldn't live without mine! This video reminds me that I need to make a real declutter on my workspace 😬 i share embarrassment with you my friend regarding the expensive brushes!!! I feel so stupid just by looking at them 🙈❤ my cat loves the big brushes tho 😂
Ha ha ha, that spooked you right? To be fair Teresa, I did find a few out today for a wander uptown, and then used them to draw D reading his book. So they *are* getting some use now... 😆 And if the car loves them, not money wasted! 😉😘❤️
I understand not wanting to use something for fear of messing it up. I have so many fabrics I haven't cut because I don't want to mess up a project.... some of them are cheaper fabrics, but some are quite expensive. Some of my other art supplies sort of fall in to that too..... expensive cotton paper for instance. (LOL I put your brush collection to shame. In my defense it took me a while to decide what I liked.)
Small remark; squirrel hair brushes uses hair from the dead animal. Cheaper synthetic brushes are a friendlier way to go.
Not to be controversial.. but if the animal is no longer with us, it is not wrong to use what is left. A way of honouring their existence. When I'm no longer here, I'd like to think that parts of me that are useful will be put to use for medical research, education etc... 😬 And I have many synthetic brushes, there just happen to be a couple of non-synthetics in my collection too.
@eviedivadoodles but it's killed, for the fur
So good to see you back on UA-cam. Thanks for this lovely video
Thanks Jessica! 😘
These all look so good, I love these types of videos ☺
Thanks Chantelle! 😘
I have tried acrylics, bought too many, that are rarely used. I gave most of them to my daughter’s dorm manager who is an art major. I prefer watercolors or gouache. I need to accept that 😂
Oh, I love that you got to put them to such good use donating them! I feel encouraged to get mine out and have another go... I think I just need more hours in each day to do all that I'd like to do! 😆
Here is what I think about supplies that I don’t use on a regular basis. They don’t go bad and will be there waiting for me when I take a whim to use them. I have a few things that I collected all the colours in and organized them in pretty containers but yet they just sit there. However, i will use them someday. Like maybe today, as we are in the midst of our first winter storm, and I’m not going anywhere 😂.
Just an idea and 100% can say no but if you want sometime in 2025 and you’re ready to use gelli plates maybe we can zoom together and I can “teach” you the techniques I’ve learned. I use them for more than just patterned paper
This sounds like a fabulous plan Angela Marie! Thank you! ❤️
You can donate art supplies to one of your viewers perhaps?
That's what I have to friends who are lino printing.
Good idea.. I could do a 'channel celebration' giveaway when I reach a certain number of subscribers or something. 😎
The thing about brushes is, the money is already spent and if you take good care of the brush, it will be good for years to go. With pencils though, they get shorter and finish if you use them much and then you have to buy another one, even though a lot of brands sell singulars (yey!). Paper is a peculiar thing, if you don't use it because it's expensive, it loses its' bonding thing, not sure about the english, but it will not be the same if you keep it in a drawer and don't use it. People! Use them if you bought them, no matter the cost. Happy holidays to everyone 🤩
I wish there was a specific app for buying and selling used art supplies…that would be so useful!
Artist Katie Moody in her recent videos mentioned that there is such a thing like art supplies auction in UK, online place where you can buy used art supplies
@@DariaMotorina sounds perfect…will have to go and research that!
Used art supplies stores are a thing now. They buy and sell. There is even one in my city, but I haven't had a chance to visit as I'm on a no-buy.
Hello again! I too have lino, cutting tools, rollers, printing ink.... I've been too scared to use! I used to know how to, but it's been a long time .... if you use yours next year, I'll use mine 😂😅 We're a funny lot us humans aren't we? Take care. Merry Christmas and a happy festive season to you Eve x Nell.
I totally understand the idea that if I buy certain art supplies, it will make me paint better. I do that and it doesn’t, not for me anyway. 😂😂 The temptation and hope is strong though lol. A set of Silver watercolour brushes from Amazon were pretty expensive, but I have ended up using them the most, so don’t feel quite so bad about the cost. Merry Christmas to you Evie🎄
Hey you! I love these natural, slightly chaotic videos! So lovely to see you. I'm glad you're maybe able to get some you time now. I absolutely love acrylic gouache too. I also love the Golden So Flat acrylics. So lovely and unshiny! Morocco.....nice! Looking forward to seeing more from you. I have noticed alot of UA-cam channels drop off at this time of year, and into the new year....annoying! Oh well, everyone deserves a break. Thanks for entertaining me today! x Nell
Loved the video, gives me inspiration for next year to challenge myself to use some neglected supplies. As far as the expensive brush goes...think about it as the money has already been spent... life is short...use the brush 😊 🖌️
This is such a great point. Thank you! I will get it out and play with it, see how it goes. 😘
Happy holidays to you! Thanks for an inspiring year!
Thank you Jaime! And to you too! ❤️
I donate my regrets to an „unwed young mothers shelter“ and it makes the guilt and regret go away! I love spreading joy and what better way to do it.
This is such a great idea! I decided that if I have supplies I'm still not using next year, they've got to go. And if they go to a worthy cause, all the better! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Lovely to see you again! Yes, I'm right into my derwent drawing pencils at the moment too.
Oh Derwent Drawing pencils are heavenly. I wish they had a greater range of colors - seriously 24 is just NOT enough! 🤣 - but I do love the ones I have. 😍
I’ve really missed you 😢. So glad to see you are well. Merry Christmas 🎁 and Happy New Year 🎊 to you and yours 🎉❤
Ah, thanks Diana! It's been a mad busy time but I am done with the crazy hours and hoping to get back to a more 'normal' routine now! Merry Christmas to you 🎄 and a happy new year to you and your family too Diana! ❤️
I find the moleskine is not great at handling wet media. It’s not too bad but not amazing. Great for markers and coloured pencils. I agree there’s not as much interesting content being recommended. Something shifted and it’s a lot harder to find anything new. I get recommended old stuff constantly.
Oh, you're seeing the same thing? On my other channel they showed me 'styling' videos from 9 years ago last week. NINE YEARS? I get that it's an 'evergreen' topic, but still. Not interested! 🤣
@ the strangest thing is getting years old community posts in your feed. Want to select an option in a poll from 5 years ago? For goodness’ sake!
Yrp, UT has gone weird for me too, sends me videos I am not interested in at all, but just sometimes I fins something I like, like this video!
Ah, well I'm glad that today YT managed to get something right! 😉
Welcome back Evie 🎉 this is a good one, art supplies chat is always the best 🥰 why do you regret breaking the neocolors? I was tempted to break mine! 😅 Can't wait for the next videos 😊 and enjoy the Xmas Holidays if that's your thing 🎄❤️😘
Thank you Teresa! Art supplies is the one of the best, they bring me such joy.. 🤩 I regret breaking them because I love how neat and tidy they look when not broken. 😬 I think it's just me and my personality trait, I like things to be in a certain way, and now they're not I find it disturbs me. 😆 Next video tomorrow afternoon our time, I still need to edit it with my morning coffee! ☕️ And thank you. I do celebrate... I hope you have a wonderful holiday period too! ❤️🎄❤️
Guess I need to break one or two to find out if I like it, but i do understand how pleasing is to watch all the neocolors neatly in a box 😄 I am editing my next video for half a week now so your excitement is giving me the push I need to finally finish it ❤️ thank youuuu @eviedivadoodles ✨️😘
Oh, let me know how you find the snapping aspect Teresa! 👀 And yay, I'm glad that it has inspired you to get the video finished. ❤️ It is time consuming editing isn't it? I look forward to catching it when it's live! 😘
So nice to have you back!! Great video. Thanks for sharing your favorites. ☺️😊
Hey Isi! Thanks so much for popping by to watch! 😘
Hey There! It was so nice to see you! I loved all your favorites. Another fun video to watch and see your reactions to your art supplies. Yes, I agree UA-cam has not been showing great content selection lately for me either. hmmm... wonder why? Anyway, happy christmas and new year to you if you celebrate and happy days ahead to you if you don't!! Looking forward to the next video! Take care and see you soon! And, oh my goodness! Have fun in Morocco next month too! Yippee!
Hi Crystal! Lovely to see you too! 😍 It's most odd re UA-cam isn't it? I'm flummoxed. I know others here in the channel community have popped by to look for videos as they're not being shown them. I assume they too are being shown random videos too.. Sad and frustrating. 😬 I do celebrate Christmas, thank you! I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 and New Year... Morocco will be joyful, I have several things cut in linen to sew ready for the trip, yay! 🎉
@@eviedivadoodles ok...Linen! FABULOUS!
When you look at your favorites from last year and this year. You didn‘t like the Neocolor 1. Now they are your favorites with the Neocolor 2. Happy Creating.
Oh my gosh, you're so right! I had completely forgotten that I didn't like the NC1s last year! Great reminder - thank you! 😊
YAY!!! You are back!! So happy to see your face 😊 I had a feeling you would love the mungyo oil pastels. I just couldn’t get on with them BUT I am overjoyed they have a happy home as it was I think a me thing and not the product thing.
Yes, I finally got a window of time that coincided with a *bit* of daylight! 🤣 The Mangos are GORGEOUS Angela Marie.. I adore them, thank you again! 😍
Welcome back and it was well worth the wait! Seeing all those supplies makes me want to go pull out a bunch of my own and do something. Maybe another A3, since it doesn’t seem so daunting anymore 😂.
Ah, thanks Kilby! Definitely go grab some supplies! I am sewing Christmas presents today, but I fully intend to do some arting this evening, and have plans to go art on Sunday with an arty group! 😍
Nice to see you again. Are you going to do your monthly challenge... I think it's quite a good idea. Happy Xmas days.
Thanks Jackie! Yes, November monthly recap will be over the weekend, and January there'll be more but with a difference! Hope you have a lovely Christmas! 🎄
Yay! I missed your videos!!
Thank you. I've definitely missed being here! 😘
It must be in the air so to say. I just made my own version of Peg&Awl art wrap as well. Mine is a bit more styled like the original but not completely. It was fun figuring out how to make it and then be able to do it. I used leather. Yours is very nice. ❤
Ha ha, I had been lusting after the Sendak for so long, it became a no-brainer to make my own version. 😆That said, I had an inkling I'd made the sewing pattern available to those who wanted to make their own, so I needed to be mindful that it was inspired by, but not 'ripping off' the original. 😍 And yours sounds fab! ❤
