Hi JoAnne! Thank you so much! If you decide to get the Color Cubes I hope you enjoy them!!

On the color cube cards, the swatches of color are exact matches to the key colors found in the example photo. Their digital hex codes and value variations are on the reverse of each card.

If you go to Sara's website, it might be helpful to you. She gives a simple explanation, said different ways. Since she is a colored pencil artist, there are a myriad of colors that come in a set of pencils so as a painter with 12 to 48 or so colors in your paintbox, you will end up mixing up some colors. This helps you learn mixes, too. I enjoy just looking at the boxes on my table, too, being a color junkie 😂

@JC-il4or thanks for sharing! There is a link to Sarah’s website in the video description ☺️

@@artonthecreekThanks!

@@JC-il4or😂

Extremely well-stated! Yes! 🙌🏼 💯 ❤️❤️

You’re so welcome! I couldn’t agree more with what you said. These are so easy to build sets bit by bit and even having just a few in your art supplies is really a neat addition! I bet using them on canvas was a lot of fun😍 I really love this Canson Sand Grain paper. It is quite affordable and so versatile! Thanks for watching. I appreciate your comments.👩🏻‍🎨❤️

Hi there! This paper is a block, so it’s adhered on all 4 sides except for a small space. I’ve found the blocks to be very helpful in keeping my the paper from buckling. I hope that answers your question ❤️

Hi Leslie! I adore these graphitint paint pans and also the pencils! They are really tremendous. I haven’t tested them enough to answer you questions about formulation, time, and the graphite lifting, though. I’ve updated the video description & here is the affiliate link to this set on Amazon: amzn.to/3W9E6h7 If you get them, I really hope you love them!! Thank you so much🩷

Thanks, Deann! I’m glad you enjoyed this 🩵👩🏻‍🎨🎨

Thanks for watching and commenting! I have some and they will be part of this comparison soon-I’m really looking forward to trying them.

Ha! I live that you rushed “rush!” Perfect! Ok-is Dreamline an album of theirs? Hope you keep having fun with the prompts and have a great World Watercolor Month!!

@@artonthecreekDreamline is a song from their Roll the Bones CD. I was just going to do the CD cover, it's easy. 😊

@UJB123 very cool! Thank you!!

That’s awesome, Irene! You had some very wonderful people fostering your creativity. A huge gift! I especially thank you for sharing your gifts 🥰🥰

Well….if I switched it on it is unbeknownst to me! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ I can’t remember if I mentioned it on the video but yes I thought John Lennon came out of my brush as well. Turns out Geddy Lee is Canadian (I think). I really never liked Rush. Still don’t. My apologies to all Rush fans! We have many jokes here in the US about a Rush concert being full of boys and maybe 1 or 2 girls😄 I just thought he sounded like a fly. Particularly the one from Jeff Goldblum’s The Fly. Nope, not for me! 😂😂😂😂 Thanks, Anita! I’m glad this gave you a chuckle and hopefully WWM will end up with another 31 paintings in this journal! Ya never know….. Enjoy the show, and enjoy seeing everyone’s interpretations!! 😘☺️

Hi Sandra! Thank you so much! Welcome to Art in the Creek and I’m so happy you enjoyed this!👩🏻‍🎨🎨💜

Hi Berolina! Picking and choosing is always a good way to go! Glad you’re participating! You should be able to catch the video any time after 5pm July 4 (I think I did that time difference correctly) - it’s not a live; that’s just when it is available on YT. I’m not organized enough for a live😂 I need editing!!

@@artonthecreek Thanks! I am off to watch it now. 👍🏼

@berolinastrassmann 👩🏻‍🎨🎥👩🏻‍🎨🩷

lol thank you!! These prompts are really making me dig deep in the old cranium idea file this year! 🤔🫣

Everything about WWM is voluntary and optional. If you want to share something in social media, anything at all, simply tag it #worldwatercolormonth There are no rules, really-it’s just a super fun challenge! In the video description there is a link to the website & you can read more about it all there. You can even use any medium! Have fun with it! It’s a celebration of art! ❤️🎨

@@artonthecreek thanks Ann

@ArtandDiamondsWithEskies You’re welcome, Amber Marie!

Yes! Small bites! Life ALWAYS gets in the way of what I’m doing. Dang it! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ I love your 2x2 accordion sketchbook idea! Makes the whole challenge so much more manageable! Good luck and have lots of fun with it!❤️

Nice! These prompts are a mental puzzle for me this year😂 One of my favorite things about WWM is seeing how every artist interprets the prompts differently! Have a great painting month, AW!🫶🏼

@@artonthecreek Same to you!

@@awatercolourist 😄😄

Woot woot!!!! Let’s see…in honor of Independence Day, your reward today is: 🎆🎆🇺🇸🇺🇸🎇🎇 😄😄😄

@@artonthecreek Why thank you, but I’m not American. 😄

@awatercolourist Ah, but I am☺️ I am extending today’s celebration to you🫶🏼

@@artonthecreek Thanks 👋🏼

You’re welcome! Hope you get the chance to participate!🩵

Infinite possibilities!! Marker art is so satisfying! Thank you so much I’m happy you enjoyed this😍

Hi Jenny! Thank you so much! If I understand pigments and lightfastness correctly, it is up to the pigment itself to dictate how lightfast something is. Cold wax medium only contains beeswax and gamsol (and in some cases small amounts of some type of resin.) None of those will work as a UV protectant to my knowledge. Full disclosure: I am guessing based on conjecture from what I know so I may be wrong. You might have to Google this one, but I really don’t suspect that it can be used to prolonglightfastness. I hope that helps!

Hi Terrie! I’m so happy that this was helpful to you. I hope your painting brings you peace, happiness and joy along the rough road ahead. (You’ve got this! Kick that nasty cancer to the curb and ring that bell loud and strong!!)

Yes absolutely it can be used to protect watercolor without framing under glass. I wouldn’t think it adds anything to lightfastness. It’s made of beeswax & gamsol. (Just a guess on my part.)

Thanks, Anita! Poor Tink…at least she looks younger than her actual 84 years! Markers can be used many ways-I use them like I would watercolor…may be “right” or “wrong” but I do know they are fun!!🩷🩷🙌🏼

Anita, you and I are so alike! When these first came out, I didn’t even see why they would be useful. That’s evidenced in how long I waited to purchase them, and I genuinely am happy with them because they are so versatile. I enjoy using a limited palette in colors that go against the normal expected range of colors for a subject-I’m sooo happy you enjoyed this and the final painting! Save your pennies for that rainy color cube day lol🥰

@@artonthecreek “rainy colour cube day” 😂😁

@@anitadavidson1266 😂😂

Ann, mix PO73 with any darker, granulating Blue and watch the magic happen! Okay back to the video!

Excellent! Thank you so much. I will give it a try for sure. It sounds like it would be an amazing mix!!

That praise is high, and I very humbly and sincerely thank you !! For the longest time I didn’t like the portrait. It took 2 months of letting it sit for me to appreciate it…it almost made it to the garbage bin! I’m happy to say I just bought her a frame☺️ Yes, the colors in Ali’s set kind of blew my mind at first…then it all just made sense. So much more sense than any other combinations of colors for skin tones. Ali’s palette was truly a lightbulb moment for me. Thank you 🩷🩷🩷

@@artonthecreek Excellent Ann, I’m so pleased you have now purchased a frame for this piece. She shall finally feel at home, and accepted. Such a relief she did not end up in the bin! It just goes to show how important it is to walk away from finished and unfinished pieces alike when we feel unhappy with it. I feel a little sick at the thought of just how many of my sketches and paintings did end up in my bin 😳 Oh well, I have now completely learned my lesson. 😊

@@anitadavidson1266 a valuable lesson to learn, and my road to wisdom is also paved in trashed-too-soon paintings. We can’t look back, only forward 🩷

Thank you so much! Actually, the palette is so nice I have no qualms in using it up so that I can refill it with my preferred paints. Meanwhile, these paints work just fine for my purposes while en plein air. Glad you enjoyed this!

What a great idea to use this to seal swatches! I’ve seen several artists use a laminating machine or clear backing tape but I always wonder if that changes the colors a bit visually or will it over time ? I’m like you I love the silkiness that cold wax medium imparts🩵🩵

What a fabulous idea! I will be sure to use this tip with the palettes I am currently putting together. Many thanks! 👍🏻👏🏻😁

@@artonthecreek It's so great that we all get to share and enjoy each other's tips!

@anitadavidson1266 hooray!

@berolinastrassmann yes indeed!! We are lucky to be part of a very supportive and helpful art community here on YT!

Hi Berolina! Hope you’re enjoying a fun, relaxing weekend! Yes, LOTS of brands to choose from…I’ve never seen the Schmincke! When my Gambling is used up I might look for that-from what I understand they are all about the same. Yes, different sizes is a plus. Have a great day!

Lovely comments, Anita…thank you indeed, my friend. I do know Canna Lilies and they are a popular potted plant in the summers here. I’ve even grown them myself in the backyard! I had no idea, though, that they could be submerged in water as a water lily! That was exciting to know as I love how it gives some height to a lily pond. I don’t know exactly what it is I don’t enjoy about painting florals, because although I say that fairly often and don’t think I do them justice, every time I paint any plant, blooming or not, I enjoy both the process and the result. I am surely a riddle wrapped in an enigma 🤔😂 It was GREAT to have Leslie join me, and I hope in the months ahead we’ll see a repeat! Yes, painting in numbers (not BY numbers!!) is wonderful in so many ways💕 You know for certain that I would lessen the miles between us if I could!

@@artonthecreek Canna Lily… nope, still not ringing any bells. Cala Lily, yes but not Canna. They are lovely. That is so interesting, not to mention, unusual that it grows happily in both garden containers and water. I think that is quite a rare thing. Although I am no expert on Lilies, nor water plants in general. 🤷‍♀️ One day, I shall drag you into that cemetery I showed you photos of last year, and we shall sketch and paint together in easy silence 🥰 I like that idea, and no matter when it happens, it is lovely to think about meantime 😊

@anitadavidson1266 You know how I can tell we are friends? Because you can say “one day I will drag you into that cemetery” and I don’t even blink an eye!😂😂😂😂😂 (I would love to paint with you any time, any where🩷🩷🩷)

Good suggestion! I bet that helps in a more humid climate-I just might that next time I travel 👩🏻‍🎨❤️🙌🏼

Hi Marcy! Welcome to the channel! I’m so happy you’re here and I’m glad you enjoyed this❤️

You’re very welcome! Start mailing those beautiful cards🥰👩🏻‍🎨📬

Hi Mari I’m so happy you enjoyed this! It was such a great day even though very HOT! 🥵 I painted the baby ducks and still need to finish them-that will be coming in a tutorial very soon so I hope you get to see that one🩷

@artonthecreek Oooooo, looking forward to seeing it! 😀

@marit4660 🤩🙌🏼

Hi Mari! I’m so happy you enjoyed this tutorial! Hope you get a chance to try the cold wax medium-it works phenomenally well! Happy painting! PS-The Roman Szmal Aquarius are some of my favorites 👩🏻‍🎨 🥰

The cold wax is great and very easy to use! I hope you enjoy it! I have a video coming out re: World Watercolor Month on July 4, but meanwhile, Here is more info about World Watercolor Month: worldwatercolormonth.com/

Thanks Doreen! These markers really are a great buy…and Tink needs all the love she can, so double thanks!😅🩵🧚

Thank you, Irene! I think in your hands these markers would really sing…in tune, too! Unlike my more mature Tinkerbell. But you are correct, older and wiser just may be the best version of her little Tinkerbell self☺️ 🧚

Hi AW! They work exactly like all the rest at a huge fraction of the cost!!

@@artonthecreek Thanks for sharing them 🙂. I’m still a watercolours-only painter, but I appreciate that you spread the word about alternative and cheaper names.

@awatercolourist yes! Always on a hunt for a bargain!
