Thank you for your comments. Giving inspiration and getting people to have a go and discover the fun in art is the aim of my videos, so I really appreciated your comments. Happy Painting! Carie. X

Thank you. I really enjoy using these pens, but also worth trying out the cheaper version from the "Tiger" store, see my video no. 136 from 5 months ago if you're interested in finding out more about them. Regards, Carie.

Thank you @TmarkN for your lovely comments. It inspires me to make more videos when I get comments like yours. I really like these budget pencils. I'm going to have a go at doing a portrait using just their set of twelve pencils to see how that works. Enjoy your pencil drawing journey. Carie. X

Thank you Romany. Carie. X

Thank you @missinkyart. It was really fun to do. Love playing with these pens. Carie. X

Thank you @AzilArts. Carie. X

@cliffberry1900 Thank you for your kind comments. Yes I would say that you could use these instead of the Polychromos. They do blend really well. I would say the main disadvantages are that you can't get such a complete colour range as the professional pencils and I'm not sure you can buy the pencils individually if you use one or two on a constant basis. I also don't know their lightfast quality. But if you're just starting out or on a budget then these are ideal and then you can always save up for the professional pencils in the future or buy a few Polychromos individually to supplement your colour palette. Regards and Happy painting. Carie. X

Hi @RaccoonLivesMatter, thank you for your comments. I'm just in the process of making three more videos with these pens, so watch out for them coming soon. Carie. X

Thanks! Xx😂

Thanks Debbie. To be honest I wasn't very happy with it! So it's nice to know someone liked it. I hope to do these pens more justice in the future. Carie. X

Hi @ralphanderson. All done it's got it's security certificate now.Thank you for reminding me as I'd been meaning to do that for ages and had forgotten all about it. Regards Carie.

I don't know if it smudges. I don't think it would if you've added water to your pencil drawing but probably would if not. You can always spray with "fixative" which stops smudging on pencil and pastel drawings, but don't do it until it's finished as it does change the texture. You won't be able to erase anything afterwards. The other thought is to keep a piece of tissue in between the pages. Hope that helps. Regards. Carie. X

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 thank you:)

Liz I replied on the paint set to your comment, although my reply is definitely more pertinent to the pencils than the paints as I don't think they would smudge. Regards, Carie. x

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 thanks Carie you are very kind

Thank you Anita for your lovely comments and for subscribing. I hope you enjoy more of my videos. Hope the weather is not too cold in bonnie Scotland. Regards and Happy Painting. Carie. X

I think the sparkle is definitely from the graphite content. I've never tried burnishing them, I will have to try that! And interesting to use a spoon. Will try that too. Thanks Alli. Carie. X

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 very welcome Carie XXX

It is quite a granular paint texture. I assume that's the graphite content in the pigment. Regards. Carie. X

Hi @daddyraff, what was it that you liked about this video? Do you want another with a pencil drawing of a baby and child? Or another pencil portrait using the lightbox? If you let me know which you would like I will make another like this. I have three videos that I am in the middle of editing, so they will go out first. Regards Carie.

Thank you Sara for your lovely comments. I'll have to look into the 'line & wash' set, don't think I've come across it. They are very good paint sets. I also have the pastel set. Happy Painting and thank you again. Carie. X

Hi @jacqicoote_art, yes I use Bockingford for sketches and when I teach classes. I bought a large supply when it was made by Daler-Rowney but they have been taken over by Canson. Saunders Waterford (St Cuthbert's Mill) also make Bockingford paper. I'm actually not sure if Bockingford is cellulose or RAG paper or more probably a mixture of the two. As it's a reasonably priced paper I doubt it's 100% cotton RAG. Arches is a beautiful 100% cotton RAG paper and Fabriano also make a 100% range called "Artistico". If you look at the written description in my video No.126 I mention a lot of different ranges of watercolour papers. Hope that's ok some help, but not sure I've fully answered your question. Regards Carie. X

Thank you Sharon for your lovely comments. I too had a long break in my art career bringing up kids. It's lovely now having time to play with art and do what I love. Art is such a wonderful relaxing therapy. I always tell people that the end product isn't important, it's the enjoyment of making art that is important. Take care and welcome to my channel. Happy Painting. Carie. X

Thanks, Carie! I hope your sight remains stable, too. I started keto after having a bad seizure (never had one before) almost 2 years ago. I have no memory of it but emerged with a black eye and a huge purple goose egg on my forehead. Referred to a neurologist who said that if I remained seizure-free for two years, it was far less likely to happen again. That was when I consulted Dr. Google on “how to avoid seizures” and learned about keto. Keto solves so many health issues. I had some sweets during the festive weeks, too. I did not feel as good and gained several pounds rapidly.🙁

@@SabineLeppanen_Art Yes I keep saying I will restart Keto as need to loos a pound or two (or 40!!), am addicted to chocolate!

Thank you. It was fun. Happy Christmas. Carie. X

Hi jaweriarajput4236, I haven't actually tried this but I can't see why it wouldn't work? Have a go and see and let me know. I have used coloured pencils in the past on top of dry watercolor paint to add subtle colour as in shading on portraits and to add subtle rosy cheeks. Good luck and happy painting. Carie.

I love your wealth of wisdom and art experience.

Yes I really like the pastel colours which aren't always available in other sets. Happy Painting. Carie.

I don't think so. I found them more chalky than waxy. I went to Faber-Castell's website to try and find out what they say but couldn't find any information. I find "Prismacolor" pencils to be very waxy in texture and I'm not keen on them but many people rave about them. Faber-Castell pencils are definitely my favourite over Derwent as well. And the "Classic" range are really good value. Hope this helps. Happy Painting. Carie.

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 thank you very much.🌹🌹🌹

Thank you @Keloid that's so kind of you. I will be making some more videos soon. Regards Carie. X

You are very welcome. Enjoy your coloured pencil adventures. Carie. X

Hi Xenderman, Actually that's the first time I've drawn/painted a steam engine. I think one tip I would like to pass on is for making the steam look realistic. Use white watercolour paint (which I never usually add to watercolours!) or a white water soluble gel pen to add the steam on top of the finished engine and add a bit of water to loosen it up and the whiter bit should be be in the center of the smoke/steam with the edges fading out. Practice this first on a piece of scrap paper. Paint a black square and let dry and then try adding white smoke with a white wash and practice adding more or less water. I think the smoke from the train in my sketch is the most important detail, not just from the smoke stack but also around the wheels. Good luck and have fun painting. Carie. X

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 Thank you so much!

Thank you but I cringe when I see this first attempt at a You Tube video! 🤔🤣 Watercolour is actually very easy. Don't be frightened of it just have fun and play with it. I'm actually trying to put together a watercolour course, so far I've only talked about paper and that was a few weeks ago as I've just been really busy but the next video is about brushes and the one after that paints and after that I will go into techniques. Happy Painting. Carie. X

@@cariesauzepaintings7117 I really look forward to learning from you. I’ll look out for any new videos. I didn’t noticed the quality if the recording because I was watching you paint. 👍😊🐋🕊️

Thank you @jpowl54. I really enjoy doing these watercolour sketches. Carie. X

Thank you for your comments. I had actually had this tin of pencils for several years and not tried them out so returning them not a possibility but I still think these pencils have potential for winter scenes and enjoy using them for that. Regards Carie.

Thank you. I will do a "paint along in real time" at some point. Just have to work out what's the best subject.

🤣Thank you Natasha. I've had them years. X

Hi Debbie, I find them easy to blend and out of all the budget priced pencils these are the best I have found so far. A lot of the cheaper pencils have very pale colours and no matter how many layers they just do not increase in depth of colour , whereas the Faber Castell pencils are very vibrant. I also use their professional sets which have a much wider range of colours and the wood is better quality but the difference in price is huge and I think as a starter pencil these "Classic" pencils are great and you may never want to change. This is entirely my own experience and impartial opinion as I do not have any affiliation to Faber Castell. Good luck on you colouring journey. There are lots of lovely videos on You Tube to give you ideas with coloured pencils. Kirsty Partridge is particularly good and does amazing coloured pencil drawings. Thank you . Regards. Carie. x

Thank you rudycarlson8245. From a photo of Her Majesty that I found on a copyright free site as I didn't want to infringe upon anyone's copyrighted photo. Always a difficult challenge when trying ro find a source photo of someone famous. My dad was a professional photographer and photographed the Queen when she came to his town several times to open buildings etc. But I didn't have time to sort through all his photos. Regards Carie.

Yes totally agree grahamekellermeier.

Sorry just noticed your comment Suzie. Thank you. X

Thank you Brian. The main thing is to enjoy "playing" with art. If you draw every day and don't worry about the "failures" you will improve and you may even discover that the "failures" aren't that at all when you look back on them. Just enjoy the process of making art and don't worry about the end result. Happy Painting! Carie. X

Thank you Miklos. Not sure which picture your refering to as the one you're expecting to see??🤔

Thank you Larry. Good luck with your art too. Happy Painting! Carie. X
