Hey 🙌 great video ❤. The reason you didn’t like the Cotmans watercolours is because they are the student grade range (ie. more filler to pigment ratio). The artist grade Winsor & Newton a very good (but seem to be more expensive than Daniel Smith these days in Australia 🇦🇺 ) ✌🏼 But yes I use Daniel Smith, Schmincke and Winsor& Newton and Roman Szmal and some handmade paints from Poland (which are stunning). ❤❤
Unusually calming with the music, which perfectly underlines your voice... and it's inspiring to see how you breathe life back into the Pigments I was at a Christmas market years ago - couldn't walk past the glass dip pens either xD beautiful objects for decoration, but also something special for me to doodle
Bec! I'm so happy to hear and see you still killing it with art, and you are just a natural for doing videos about art, materials, and this is so calming too! I have never seen that resin based paint you used but it sounds like you can do lots of fun molding with those paints. It's so great seeing you and I loved this video! Subbed and cannot wait for what's in store 🙂
M. Graham is my favourite brand, I use some other brands, but MG makes up at least 90% of my palette 😅 That awkward to say grey reminds me a lot of the M. Graham neutral tint, it's very pretty and quite purple-y.. 😍
Another M.Graham fan! I think I have most of the colours, at least the ones I can get here in Australia, but is there a colour you'd recommend adding? I thought the same! So I did some research, very similar make up, just using different pigments.
@@painterastudio Honestly all of their colours are amazing, I'm in the states so it's a lot more affordable & accessible for me than for some (still expensive tho lol). I saw someone swatch them in a video and instantly fell in love, ever since they've been my main paints and no other brand compares. I got some Sennelier to try out and I enjoy them, but even those just aren't the same consistency.. I wish I could take all of my favourite paints and turn them into M. Graham's 😂 It's hard to pick any that are favourites or even good colours to have because I honestly could just have all of them and be happy 😅 But I definitely use Gamboge (my replacement for DS New Gamboge) and their Terra Rosa (I think is the name) is a GORGEOUS natural red colour, almost like a brick red-brown. Their Olive Green was not at all what I was expecting when I first got it (very yellowish/brownish) but I find myself using it literally all of the time in my green and brown mixes! So if I were to suggest any colour above all, I would say that one. Just don't get it thinking it's gunna be a typical olive green colour. It's surprisingly useful in mixes. Especially for natural colour mixes 😁
@@painterastudio @painterastudio If you were ever interested in any colours from them and couldn't find it in AUS I would be more than willing to send you little quarter pans of them to test out or help you get a hold of the tubes 😊
@@RampantRoses Oh I'm incredibly jealous of the amount of things you guys have access to over there 😂 We get quite a few of the M.Grahams here, and I have plenty on my palette, but theres been a few convenience colours that I've wanted in the last few years, but like Viridian was $50 or something haha. I think I have gamboge and terra rosa, but I'll look into olive green for sure. Thank you so much!
I love Prisma color pencils but never purchased that many colored pencils all at once. That’s cool that you got them on discount. I would have problems with space if I purchased that many Prisma colors all at once.
Wanna hear something funny? Started watching your vid because of the Ali C QoR part of "haul" and I liked your kittykat values study picture. About 10 seconds in and I was like "hahahaha, that's just what Chris and the other girls say to me when I walk in Adamstown Art!" 😆. The Clairefontaine Bamboo paper is the one I've got on my list to buy next time I'm in. Then OMG, just like the girls at Adamstown, your store gave you the same paper samples as me 😃. And then I thought, let me look where this gal is from. Ding ding ding, give me the meat tray! It appears that you are also a regular (and spend far too much time and/or money) at Adamstown Art. Anyhoo, I'm also Newy artist, I work in watercolour and mainly in portraits. Ali C is my Mentor and I've been working with her for almost three years now as part of her "Aligators Watercolour Community", where we paint watercolour portraits but on watercolour ground prepared boards/Aquaboard. I will do other stuff on paper, mixed media pieces, abstracts, landscapes, pets etc. So, thought I'd say "hey" 😊, new sub (obvs) and look forward to watching your channel grow. However, bit peed that I missed that Prismacolour sale!
OMG hahaha, such a small world! Definitely guilty of spending way too much money and time there 😂You work with Ali??! Thats incredible. Is it something anyone can join? Chris and I were talking about her techniques and the way she uses boards and watercolour ground and just amazed by what Ali can do. Really admire her work. Well, welcome, and thank you! Also, the full set of prismacolors is on sale on Amazon for $155 at the moment 😉
I am surprised you have so much calming music for this video when I am so used to hearing you play heavy metal gothic type of music during your Twitch streams.
It's a shame the sample was so sparse, because that is a very highly granulating dark brown that adds a lot of interest to mixes. Unfortunately, it is genuine Van Dyke Brown, which is not lightfast.

The absolute realness of “these were on sale my dude” was an instant subscribe for me. I support on sale purchases which give full price dopamine.
😂 I knew someone would get me. Welcome!
Beautiful artwork. Great video
Bec's artwork is off the charts. I have already bought one print. It was amazing.
Thank you, Nordic! So glad you were both happy with the print.

Thank you Nast! 🖤
This was incredible to watch. That study came out so good.
Thanks Corey!

Thank you! And I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂 they're little pieces of art in themselves!
@@painterastudio :)
Can't wait to see more videos from you ❤
Lovely vid…thanks for sharing!

Wonderful vid! so much incredible work \o/
Thanks John! ❤
Feels weird to have like calm music rather than metal 😂❤
Hahaha, yeah, I much prefer the chill aesthetic
Loved watching this, looking forward to seeing more videos from you ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! ❤
Loved the video and the format. I may have to copy ya but I got some Holbein acryla gouache that I may use on the jazzmaster
I would LOVE to see that. Copy away! I can't wait to see what you do with it.
YAY! More content! Looking forward to more videos! Also, will that cat be available as a print at some point?
Not sure about this one as a print, but I have the same painting in watercolour that will be available as a print.
@@painterastudio Oh ok, I'll keep my eyes peeled until then it will just have to live in my heart.
Great video love it
Thanks Boe!
I am surprised you have so much calming music for this video when I am so used to hearing you play heavy metal gothic type of music during your Twitch streams.
You asked what we recommended for you for paints Paul Ruben professional paints, you won't regret it ❤
I'll add it to the wishlist. Thank you!
I have never been to an art store that gave free samples.
That brown you're not a big fan of might be good for shadows or highlights.
Oh it'll definitely have its place somewhere, for sure! Great ideas, thank you!
It's a shame the sample was so sparse, because that is a very highly granulating dark brown that adds a lot of interest to mixes. Unfortunately, it is genuine Van Dyke Brown, which is not lightfast.
I thought you had more videos in the past on your UA-cam channel.
