There is a mistake in this video: I talk about how I got 4 Sets with 5 colours each which equals 20 different colours - NOT 16 like I said in the video *facepalm* Forgive me that mistake, I am honestly proud how I managed life so far being this bad at math 😂Anyway, thanks for yout patience and kindness everyone ❤️
I just know when I walk into heaven I’ll be surrounded by my loved one, my precious pets and lots of book stores and lots of art stores and my favorite music!!!!!
Well, that is a proper haul! This must feel like Christmas! Enjoy the supplies dear. There will always be jealous people around. No need to explain yourself, you’ve worked for it!
NO SHAME you beautiful soul!! The art supplies just in their massive boxes look like so much fun lol! I also just spend on art supplies and nothing else pretty much. 🤗😊
I seriously can't wait for the swatching and the room tour and more paintings!!! If you watch Natasha Newton you know how she did a video a while back about making color palettes, and I think you would make such a cool sister video to that!! Thank you so much for the mentions and I'm so excited for these supplies, I have to try the Canson paper and I love the gouache airtight palettes!! Awesome video as per usual!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@CreatingCuteArt Oh god, Maggie, I wanna grant you that wish and I am starting to hate my job because it is in my way to put it all out quickly, I‘d rather watch your catalogue of videos and create stuff myself all day, but it is what it is 😅
Thanks Jana! I always feel so much joy for when others have an art splurge but I can’t help but feel weird when I do it. Glad you enjoyed the vid! 🍄 ❤️
swatch them all!! :D I got so excited when I saw all those boxes just thinking about how much fun you will have with your new art supplies. I would love to see video about mixing skin colors
We want to see swatching, reviews and everything! Your videos cannot be too long; I was sad when I came to the end of this one. We love art supplies, too, so we do not tire of seeing your new acquisitions! Thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations on your channel growth, as well!
"I was sad when I came to the end of this one" Awww, Feeny ❤️ Don't be sad! How happy I am that you enjoyed this! There are other videos to watch on my channel and also there are so many amazing Art UA-camrs you can watch! I recommend CreatingCuteArt and Sketches n Scrubs if you want to see more Haul videos, they also have amazing review and painting process videos! Thanks so much for your sweet comment, I apreciate it so much!
As a professional artist and Bookbinder myself, please DONT feel bad, NOR apologize to any haters that may pop up on here! People have been picking up this nasty habit lately, of getting nasty with people that have alot of art supplies on YT, and shaming them?!?!?! They try to make you feel guilty, and they act like jerks ( Natasha has been having major issues with a few, unfortunately) so they may come here.... PAY THEM NO MIND!!!!! we are adults, we are artists, crafters, hobbyist, beginners and pros...we all gather these supplies over years and years and years, with alot of hardwork, blood, sweat and tears. Hell, I own a FORTUNE in professional artist grade supplies from years upon years of buying them. And I have a bad habbit/addiction to get the full color range of almost every professional brand of artist grade supplies ( literally)! Yes iam extremely fortunate, but because of my hardwork... like everyone else! watercolors ( yes really lol ), colored pencils, pastel pencils, copic markers & refill inks, Ad markers, Molotow & posca paint markers, ink brush pens, acrylic inks, golden acrylics... soft, high-flow & full body, pigmented watercolor markers...inks and pencils, soft pastels ( not all but a ton, all of the terry Ludwig pastels tho lol ) fountain pens with gold flex nibs & flex nibs, fountainbrush pens from Japan, fountain pen inks, pigmented inks, gouche, acryla gouache, brush pens, pan pastels, goatskin leathers from france and Italy ( I make goatskin leather Hardbound watercolor sketchbooks with all the professional 100% cotton papers ) I own most of the artist grade 100% cotton papers & watercolor papers, pastelmat, mixed media papers, Strathmore 500 series papers, comic book boards from Eon & Strathmore, bristol plate, bristol vellum, etc etc in INDUSTRIAL ROLLS ( when available) and imperial sheets. I also make a line of watercolor paints with rare, hard to find, unavailable/discontinued, historical ( specially pure lapis pigments) and cobalt pigments... i have a entire pigment collection worth its weight in gold, equipment, tools, and on and on. Iam not saying this to brag, but from experience... even my good friends that are also artists, bust my stones constantly, and call my studio & Bindery " Deejay's WAREHOUSE of art and binding supplies " 🤣🤣🤣 they will literally stop by and start browsing around, because i have everything set up and displayed all around my studio & Bindery. Everything has its own place ( OCD ). we all work extremely hard to have the abilities to purchase these things... whether you are professional or hobbyist, crafter... whatever. It's your money, buy as much as you wish without BS guilt from others. It really makes me mad when I see people on here shaming others, simply because they dont have it and you do! "Nobody needs this many/much supplies blah blah blah" so they just try to tear people down like jerks. Anyways, I've ranted enough lol. Thanks for sharing your haul with us, AND ENJOY all of your amazing supplies! You have very nice taste in supplies may I add. I love getting a large haul every other month or so, to restock or try something new. And i love seeing other artist hauls too! Have a great day and cheers 🍻
OMG, Dejay, this comment rules! I've seen what happened to Natasha Newton in regards to mean comments, and I also got my own share of comments on consumerism with art supplies. They were not really nasty, but seeing that all my art hauls, even though many people seem to love them, have gotten a significantly large number of dislikes, that makes me worried a little. I don't know if it's envy, anti-capitalism / consumerism or people just simply hating my guts and not clicking with me. Anyway, you do you and quite frankly, even if some art supplies end up catching dust - it's every artists own decisions and consequences. Why would anyone's buying habits affect my own life? The don't and that's why I never feel any negativity towards people who get new goodies, the contrary, I am happy and excited for them almost as if I got those materials myself. It's so strange: when a musician buys instruments, studio supplies, new frets, whatever - nobody comes along bitxhing about it. If a musician plays a cover song, people celebrate it and they don't tell them they are not supposed to be inspired or play an interpretation of someone elses song, these covers appear on albums and get played at concerts. The art community is mostly very kind, but every now and then you have people who get mad you buy art materials, or paint something that resembles a certain style / is inspired by the art of someone else (I am not talking stealing or very obvious copies without reference). I would have never learned how to paint if it weren't for studies and I find it sickening when beginner artists are being accused of copying, or artists told to only share something "original" (I hate that word). Same goes for art supply purchases. Like you said, you are a professional artist and these are your tools. Oh lord, I am trying to envision your studio, filled to the brim with so many things - like an art supply museum 😂❤️ I approve! So happy for you 😄 Have a fantastic day, Deejay
You don't have to make excuses for spending a bunch of money on art supplies,if it makes you happy,it's worth it!!😊 I loooove doing art and discover new things, I love art supplies and unboxing videos ..so win ,win😂 Wish you all the best from the south of Germany😊🌼
Awww, this is such a lovely comment to read ona a working saturday! So glad you liked this video, I love unboxing and art supply haul videos, too! Art supplies make me happy indeed and so good to hear you can relate! Liebe Grüße aus Berlin und hab ein tolles Wochenende, Alina 😄☀️
If you can afford it, buy it 🥰. Nothing to be ashamed of and you don’t need to explain either. We all have, earn different amount of money what each us spend it on is up to every individual person. I’m one of those who don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke, spend zero on cosmetics and very little on clothes and other things. Expect hobby materials and good food 😋, that’s just what I prefer. If other people prefer to spend their money on different things more power to you. We all need to accept our differences even when it comes to money and empower each other 🥰. I love unboxing videos, this one too 😍
Never be ashamed of buying art supplies! I have a terrible paper addiction! That pad is probably a 90lb sheet pad for sketching. The St Cuthberts is a very good paper and I believe that when they glue it down on all side they call it a “block” I have used porcelain plates for general palettes, I especially like full pans rather than the 1/2 pans my brushes are lasting longer too! I recently got the new inking brush that comes with JAZZA’s new professional kit. I only bought the small marker set mostly just for the brush marker for inking! You can buy it by itself a better bargain than buying his entire box as I have everything else he was selling. WoW so many goodies! I liked that Canson heritage series too! Ok I am stopping, but you are so lucky to have the ability to enjoy your art supplies! Be safe and take care!
In the meantime I tried St. Cuthberts and it is actually on par now with Canson Heritage Coldpressed now! Your comment is great btw, so much knowledge! I never thought about half pans being bad for bristles but it makes sense! That Jazza inking brush is something I will look into! Right now Princeton Select Liner in 0 is my favorite Liner brush but I am desperately trying to find something better because it breaks so quickly and it is really hard to get it, they don't sell them in Germany, gotta ship from overseas and it's sold out every time I check, so if you happen to know some inker or liner that can hold enough paint and is sturdy enough for shaky hands I would love to hear! Thank you so much!!
I loved this vid and I'm super excited for you and all the fun you're going to have with all your new goodies!! CreatingCuteArt is honestly one of the sweetest people I've ever spoken to, I'm so glad others are starting to see that as well and are learning from her. She's an excellent teacher with loads of patience that I'd never have, lol! I am so inspired by you for many reasons, one being your openness about your hands! I have chronic pain and the meds I use have overtime caused shakiness and random involuntary spasms, which have left me super depressed about with my artwork. It's extremely frustrating to be in the zone and suddenly lose control of my hand, have it trail across my paper and instantly ruin whatever I've been working on. You give me hope, because you understand the frustrations yet you still make absolutely amazing art! Thank you for that inspiration, from the bottom of my heart ❤️ Also, you mentioned distilled water for your gouache. I've never thought of that. I've always used a spray bottle with tap or bottled water. What's the difference or benefit to using distilled? I'm super intrigued!
Thank you so much, Melanie! What a beautiful name btw 😊 I totally agree, I think CreatinCuteArt is highly underrated considering the content she puts out and the effort she puts in! She is so kind, full of positivity, a great speaker and teacher and so much more! I feel you in regards to the spasms and losing control. This is indeed depressing but there are ways to make things a little easier for you, such as bigger paper and brushes and pens with sturdier bristles. Also I have been thinking, maybe you can use it to your advantage! Look, who said you always need the most perfect edges, there are many artists who are amazing and their art does not look perfect from a conventional standpoint but it adds to the charm! And the distilled water is because depending on your location tap water can increase the chance of your paints getting mold , distilled water is cleaner and free from additives, chalk and stone and I also heard that the paint spreads easier when you use that instead, so I was thinking maybe use that instead of tap water. Maybe the difference is insignificant but it is something that I am willing to try out. Melanie, thank you so much again and have a wonderful day!
Megan, this comment made me smile! I always think I sound like a 10 year old boy who can’t speak english proper and feel a little insecure but your comment helped! Thank you so so very much for your kindness!
I hope you are having a happy Wednesday. You truly sound wonderful. I hope to see more videos soon. I’m newer in the art world and you explain everything so well.
I also have very shaky hands, and I am not crazy about the PocketBrush Pen either! Everyone seems to love it but I find it really hard to use! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I have been thinking, maybe people swear on it and like it so much because it is the only brush pen they ever tried, it seems to be the most available of that type. Even on super large canvas I can’t control it at all. I always thought I am the only one, the odd one 😆 but it’s such a relief to hear you don’t like it! And yes, it sucks to be in the shaky hands club but it hopefully will never prevent us from being creative 😊 Thank you for your comment!
Yesssss!!!! Your space is so gorgeous, too, I've never seen it before! Ok I am so excited!! Leaving this comment as it just started, will I'm sure be commenting consistently as I'm watching 🤣🤗
@@CreatingCuteArt Yasss! Lemme move to Colorado and I move into your basement or just sleep on the porch 😍 We merge our art supply collections if there’s still storage space in your studio 😂
Such a lovely comment, I am glad it helped you finding the store (was it Peters Art?) and thank you so much for sharing that you like my voice, makes me feel less insecure about it. Hearing yourself feels so awkward 😅
I too can totally relate to a bit of cognitive dissonance when faced with my art supply purchases but… I'm a collector of 🎨 art supplies. If it's your passion, it's no different to playing golf or whatever. I'm sure you work hard for your income. So don't feel shame, enjoy your supplies. You've worked hard for them. I loved seeing your unboxing.
So glad you enjoyed it! And yes, exactly that! When my family asks why I need more, I ask my dad why he needs new bbq supplies or my mom why she bought the 100th cooking book. We all have our passions and hobbies, life’s too short to wait for later in life.
So happy you are back. I grabbed my tea and gonna watch this,I can't wait to see what you got! Just started watching and will edit my comment once I finish but I have the exact deleter sketchbook : it has 17 pages of 135 gsm paper if I remember well. I don\t recommend it for wet media, but you can get some interesting effects with pencils/copics. Deleter makes some really great stuff for manga artists - their inks (the white one #2 is the best opaque white I ever tried) are really good if you use pen nibs for lineart and the deleter manuscript paper is AMAZING for blending copics (it's what a lot of illustrators in Japan use and personally makes a BIG difference on how copics blend ). EDIT: Congratulations on all the new and exciting art supplies you got! It's such a slippery slope and you're definitely not the only one who treats herself every now and then,so don't feel guilty! I'm pretty much the same, I don't spend $$$ on clothes or anything else anymore, so getting some new paints is acceptable and it actually lasts you a while (unlike makeup for example, which expires and can be quite expensive as well). I think you'll really enjoy those brushpens, the pentel ones are great and I think the one you got is a staple for manga artists, plus they come in a lot of shapes and sizes. The ink lasts forever and they don't dry out or leak (at least from my personal experience). I do find these brush pens have a learning curves and can be VERY VERY intimidating lol. Btw they are called "fude" or "fudenosuke" means "ink brush" ,so it refers to that brush-like nib as well. I think you may know that they work best on bristol and vellum smooth paper (like the Canson Bristol , Deleter paper etc) , that really smooth,silky paper. On more absorbant papers the ink can feather and you can get some nice effects,so experiment with them! If you like waterbrushes definitely check out the Tombow ones (they come in 3 sizes) - they are quite cheap and great quality. I don't know what magic japanese people do to make such great art supplies especially for such prices,honestly. Ooooh, Nicker poster colors! Those are seriously great, they have a great color range and blend great! Their lilac color (Heliotrope) is TO DIE FOR. Plus those little jars are so cute. Please swatch those liquid watercolors,the new Schminkes and the Holbein (normal) Gouaches! I'd love to see how they perform, as I'm yet to get my hands on some of them. The flashe paints from Lefranc are similar to opaque acrylic paints indeed but they have a nice finish and smooth (?) feeling. I don't really know how to describe it but you'll probably understand this once you use them. As for pencils, I still this the color selection for the Caran D'ache is extremely well curated, they have some really interesting pale/pastel/muted-ish colors, which I see you have purchased as well. And,as everything Caran D'ache, they're stupidly high pigmented lol. I honestly think you might enjoy the Neocolor 2 , watersoluble pastel pencils , it can be so relaxing to work with them since every bit of pigment dissolves when you add water and you don't get that graininess that some watercolor/watersoluble pencils can get. I'm curious how the Schmincke gouaches compare to the Holbeins or Winsor&Newton, if you have and input on this I'd love to know. Keeping my fingers crossed for a swatch video soon!
Oh my god, Alice! Not only are you making my day with your kindness but also you just gave us such good information! The opaque white you just mentioned is something I will keep my eyes on, but probably not this year (since my wallet needs a break 😂)
Omg, Alice, you just exposed yourself as one of the biggest art nerds out here! The knowledge you have is exceptional! Love this comment and thank you so much for having invested time in educating us! Thanks as well for letting me know what you are most interested in seeing! Here‘s a hug to you! Have a wonderful day 😚
It is my DREAM to be able to treat myself like this one of these days, and just whichever art supplies strike my fancy. I know those Daniel Smith watercolors were a big hit to your pocketbook, but you’re going to love them, they’re so good!
They truly were and even though I am happy I got them I am a little angry because I fell in love with that brand and want more - not good! I only buy art supplies every other year or so and always save up for it so I was glad this time I was able to spend some without turning every penny. That said, I still feel guilty always, even though I don’t treat myself with anything else really. I subscribed to you btw!
@@MoniDmajor aww, thanks so much! I know what you mean, you kind of always want the hyped up expensive products to not live up to the hype, so that you don't have an excuse to spend all your money on them. 😅
I also have shaky hands and that pentel pocket brush pen is like a challenge I keep trying to conquer, haha! But really, my favirite is the Kuretake extra fine tip brush pen, it can create really delicate lines but not too flexible that it's difficult to use.
Somewhat relieving to hear I am not the only one, having shaky hands sucks. Pentel pocket brush pen just isn't made for us, or anyone who draws on small sized paper :D I also like the Kuretake! My absolute Favorite is Kuretake Zig, unfortunately the ink is watersoluble ah well
This looks so fun!! I'm excited for Christmas so I can get books and art supplies. It's always so fun to open up a whole bunch of new unfamiliar supplies and try them out!
Thank you for the video I liked the way you approached this haul your intro and descriptions. I lived in Berlin a few years back and we loved it, so I was so happy note you are in Berlin. I will never forget my outings to find art supply stores in Berlin. I dragged my children far across town once and I wish I could remember it but I can't find nearly as many stores like that here in Denver, CO. So glad this video popped up for me. Also vielen dank for the recommendations about creating cute art and Natasha Newton.
Aww, you are from Colorado?? So is Maggie / CreatingCuteArt! I have never been in the US but I heard it's such a nice place, it looks so beautiful there with the Great Sand Dunes and your people al seem so chill and nice! I don't like Berlin that much, but it's probably because I have been here all my life, so I am affected by wanderlust, living on the countryside would be nice, but I can' deny we have a lot of small and cozy nerd shops, Berlin is a paradise for creatives :) Thank you so much for letting me know that you liked how I approached the video btw, I am still new to all this and most of the time I feel like I don't know what I am doing, so that helps so much!!❤️
I really love the video and you must had so much fun with all these boxes! And the Hekalia Box looks so awesome! And thanks for sharing all of the additional information for the supplies. :)
Thank you so much for letting me know this, Mochimona :D I am so glad you enjoyed it! And yes, the Heikala box is so pretty looking, too, no way I will throw it away! I will use it to store supplies I think 😄❤️ Have a wonderful day!
I would love swatches of everything!!! the gouache, watercolour, pencils!!! the crayon things. Im not fussed about reviews (seems like hard work) but i LOVE swatches
Chloe, guess what: I finished recording my big swatching session and I swatched it all! 😄 Now I just need to edit it ;) Unfortunately I have a day / night shift job so I gotta edit inbetween. Hope you can be patient a little more 😅
I was a little worried first wether or not to make this video but reading this and hearing people enjoy watching unboxing vids and feel the excitement over new art supplies, it makes me so glad! I also love unboxing and haul videos and I am glad you enjoyed mine and that I didn't waste your time! Thank you so very much, Chloe!
@@MoniDmajor i love them too. Its like watching presents being unwrapped! i think a lot of people get the the excitement of getting their favourite art supplies when watching these too. It's not really about how much it costs or whatever, just about how happy the materials make us and the inspiration they can give :)
Peter’s Art is like an apartment that they turned into a store / warehouse. Really narrow and small but so well stocked and being there feels like being in a cozy museum! The staff is so nice as well, Peter himself and many of their staff are actually polish just like me, and just like you said they don’t sell irrelevant or cheaper than student grade stuff when you’re there you can just feel they know us art nerds :) And you have no idea how much relief I feel that I am not the only one who feels the guilt 😅
@@MoniDmajor I will defo go there when I'm in Berlin again the next time. Last time, I did not know Peters Art yet, SHAAAAME ON ME (and my bank account screams too hahaha). Yes, know the guilt AND also the absolute need to have this beautiful stuff. A while ago I made a very similar haul: Daniel Smith (even many similar colors :-D ) and the Schmincke Super Granulating Colors (of course more than one set. I can't have that, when there are so many, to pick out one. Buying only one would be a waste for me- I would think of all the other sets when I would get that one)... Etc,... Etc,... So... Guess I am guilty. All the best to you and I loooove your videos!
Gaby, your comment made me so happy! I love haul videos so much and I have seen so many good ones and I never thought anyone would like the one I made! And I was scared to receive mean comments, too! Wow, you really made my day, thank you so so much!! 🥲😘😘😘
so glad to see a new upload from you, absolutely love your content and aesthetic choices ^_^ I relate with buyer's guilt but as long as we use what we buy it's probably not a waste 😺These art supplies look lovely, I am patiently waiting for the swatching video 😊
Thank you so much! And thanks too for being patient, I don’t think I can record sooner than tomorrow and with editing hopefully an upload some time next week. I work 12h shifts and after work I am too exhausted to work on videos, unfortunately. Anyway, thanks again for your kind words! 💕
@@MoniDmajor You are very welcome. I completely understand, I mean I am exhausted after much less work. Take your time and only do it when you are ready and feeling it ^_^
Thanks Moni, My first video, subscribed early within a few seconds of hearing your voice. Your tools are never stuff. They are simply, "the tools of an artiste'" No regrets, no guilt Just pure joy. As we say in Australia (when we leave to say goodbye) "No worries" ;) In kindred spirit, Eliza Dulwich Hill, Sydney Australia 10:26pm A Sunday 13th of March 2022
Eliza, you are truly are the sweetest and kindest! Thank you for your words of encouragement, it‘s something I gotta learn yet that it is okay to spend money for things that make me happy. It just happens to come at a weird moment in history, there is so many bad things going on in the world right now and I feel guilt over many things. I am fortunate and I should learn to be happy and embrace it. thank you so much, sending warm hugs to Sidney
I can't believe you are such a small channel; your content is excellent! I just found you today, and I hope you see a lot of growth because you absolutely deserve it!
I am so glad you discovered my channel! It is small because art is just my hobby and I can't upload weekly but I try my best to make good content so I don't waste anyone's time, I love connecting with art nerds :) Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate it so much!
@@MoniDmajor I love it. I'm so here for people just making content about the stuff they love while they have another life. Your enjoyment really comes through. ☺️
I just wanted to say that I discovered your channel through UA-cam recommending me this video today and wow! I love your style of filming and obviously all the art content. Especially your first video really inspired me to start practicing more and not feeling weird for not being able to make things absolutely perfect with colour mixing on the first try. Super helpful and really fun and well done videos! And I think now I will have to save up a bit for more art supplies since these coloured pencils look amazing! From one Berlin based artist to another, keep up the great work!
Your comment makes me so happy in so many regards! The best thing I can possibly get to hear is either that I was of big help or that you are motivated or inspired! I am a chronical overthinker and often times it prevents me of doing art or just experimenting in the first place, but we need to remind ourselves to overcome that, I love hearing that message so putting it into practice and sharing it with others is something I strive for. I am also happy because now I discovered you! I am at work at the moment but I just peeked at your channel and so so glad because you are such a skilled artist, now I have new things to watch! Wow...❤️ Nochmal hundert tausend Dank und riesen Drücker! ❤️
@@MoniDmajor the markers are sadly only slightly less pricey that Copic but not by much. They are about the same quality though so honestly a few cents off each marker adds up in a good way I guess.
I know I’m late to the party so to speak but I’ve only been doing art for 3 months and I already have about 100 acrylic markers, 30 pastel pencils, 24 charcoal pencils, 8 different sets/brands of watercolours plus gauche and acrylic paint (that was free) about 40 gel pens, fine liners both coloured and black, about 180 oil pastels, water soluble graphite pencils, two sets of standard pencils, couple of hundred water colour pencils (cheap set first now upgrading) 30-40 different watercolour journals/paper, sketch pads, black sketch paper, 10ish sets of oil pastel paper, 3 drawing boards, 2 types of tracing paper that I may never use because I enjoy drawing, paint storage drawers, meeden art storage box with easel, watercolour travel kit, 2 pencil cases and 3 rolls, white markers, rulers, masking fluid x 2, multiple sets of washi tape and masking tape, 4+ sets of brushes, couple of sets of palette knives, books both art and inspiration only, 6 or so empty palettes of different sizes, several mixing palettes, aprons, glue, glitter pens, highlighters, pencil sharpeners, fixative spray and an addiction to Faber-Castell 😂😂😂😂😂 I love watching haul videos (except searching) for every hater there’s 2 that enjoy it ❤
I too fell in love with indigo! Aaah! And yeah, feeling guilty af when buying new stuff. I'm officially a hoarder - art supply hoarder. And then I need to buy a cheap version of the same art supply, because I'm not worth using the one I already bought. Silly all the way! Oh also.... I think you haven't used indigo in a painting video yet, have you? Perhaps you'll find the time to embrace the indigo love!
Hahahaa!!! I am feeling the "buying cheaper alternatives because too scared to use the expensive art supplies" part 😂❤️ It's not silly, dear, it's just logical! And yes, you are absolutely right, I need to really go and demonstrate some paintings based on gorgeous indigo!
Of course you are worth using those expensive art supplies. I understand the problem but just jump in! Says the woman who hasn't opened her A Gallo watercolours yet. It's like looking as a box of jewels to me. 🤪😂
@@sandfly60 That’s what they are for, to be used, and it’s so wrong to think we aren’t worth the fancy stuff. I think both cheap and luxurious art supplies are important, first to play without fear and latter to really learn about and get the best out of a medium!
Wow congratulations on your 1k subscriber mark. Your videos are very high quality so is well deserved. I am very interested in the Rohrer und Klingner Zeichentusche inks! I am thinking of buying a set.
I recorded a swatching session and Zeichentusche is also included! Spoiler alert: They ARE good! You will not regret it (another spoiler, don't get Schmincke Aqua Drops). Thank you so much for the praise btw, I appreciate it so much!
Hi Moni. By chance I found this video. What fun to see your haul. I also have a hand tremor and have also been trying to conquer my Pentel brush pen. I havent had much luck with it. I am a beginner watercolor painter. My tremor makes painting a challenge, but I really like painting small…usually 5” x 7”. I have also attempted some miniature paintings the size of a euro coin. It’s fun. I just accept whatever shaky lines I end up with. It is nice to know I’m not the only one with this shaky challenge. I just subscribed to your channel and hope to see your work.
Hey Karen, thank you so much for subscribing, I have a couple of painting process videos up. Regarding the hand tremors: it feels good to hear I am not the only one, feeling like a weirdo sometimes. Like you I make it work by either painting really large - OR super tiny (usually in my sketchbook). I find it easy when I can have my hand rest. Thank you so much ☺️
I wish I saw this vedio before... I ordered heikala liquid colors but I did not find the box so I ordered them seperatly from the save website and I only ordered one of her brushes the smallest one.. and I regret not buying more, they are amaaaazing the best synthatic... however enjoy them💜💜💜
Aww, I feel you! I also made orders in the past and then realized I could have made a better deal! I try not to think about it, but it isn’t easy! I agree with you, these brushes are sooo good!
Same the only thing I seem to spend extra money is art supplies. I buy them and then make something with it and sell it that way I get my money back and extra to buy more art supplies lol
This is actually really smart, LemonEd! If only I would buy and swatch less and actually start painting more, maybe I could do the same! haha maybe quit my job and earn money with art even - lemme dream 😄 I am so happy you get to earn money with your art!
The price of that paper and those colored pencils had me freaking out lol. You're so fortunate. Those pencils look AMAZING. I think I'm gonna do a search of ppl coloring with them.
Hi Monika( hope this is the right spelling of your name, I apologize if it is not ) from Santa Barbara, California! I just discovered your channel and I am already addicted! Loved the art supplies, never can an art supply haul be big enough for me😃. I would love to see more of your painting videos, but no pressure, all your videos are beautiful. On a different note, next time I visit Berlin ( loved Berlin/Germany, visited in 2014 ) I am rushing to the art supply stores you mentioned!!😍🤩🤩🎨🖌
Debjani, so great you visited Berlin! I dream of going to California, you have so many exceptionally creative people there I find! If you ever visit Berlin, definitely go to Peters Art! It is like ground floor apartment that they turned into an art supply store! There are many small rooms and each one as well as all the corridors, they are all for different categories! Acrylics room, Oils hallway, watercolor living room, Papers and Notebooks guest room etc.! It seems small and cozy but it actually is t small at all! They sell what art nerds are into, not the stuff you see in conventional art stores. They seem to know us artists very well 😆 Also, the owner is polish, and so is his staff. I come from poland so it’s always cozy and homey to hear people speak in my other language. Gerstaecker is an online store and I am not sure wether they have a physical store. Anyway, thank you so much for your praise and feedback and after I am done with the upcoming swatching videos (and the studio tour) I will get back to actual painting! I want to experiment lots to find my voice and expand my skills and I will gladly share that with you! I love watching other artists journeys! And I love hanging out in comment sections of art videos as well, that’s where the real fun is imo!
I can definitely relate to splurging on art supplies if nothing else… I also collect dolls so these are the two thing my money goes to! Nice materials you got :)
Wow, I never heard of anyone collecting dolls, but it makes total sense! I loved dolls even into my teenage years and there is just something about them! Do you collect a specific kind of dolls?
@@MoniDmajor there is a huge community of doll collectors around the world now, you can easily find videos here and many communities on Facebook dedicated to specific dolls. I started with Blythe dolls initially, than got into Licca chan, both Japanese, and from there just got what my heart desired really. Right now my collection is mostly Japanese, Chinese and Spanish dolls (Spain has a long tradition in doll making, the most popular being Paola Reina). It’s a whole new world out there once you discover it :)
@@coloredcarol8074 Thank you so much for taking your time to educate me on this! I feel very much enlightened and I will definitely go and research this, thanks to you I know what to search for! However I must admit I am a little worried I‘ll fill in love and become victim to another hobby that drains my bank account lol 😝
About stopping paint from drying too fast, Check out this video on using watercolour medium!! ua-cam.com/video/vGEnHB2Eq10/v-deo.html She adds the medium to gouache to make pre-mixed paint. I think it will benefit poster colours too
@@MoniDmajor Haha sorry about rushing to comment before watching all of it, pls ignore me hahaha. Halfway thru still and loving the vid!! Your channel is SO GOOD keep it up 💕
@@ebiosh2032 It’s just so great you made this comment because many people read through the comments and then they can just click on the link you just posted or know the answer without having watched my long video! Really happy you liked the video ebiosh!
Great video! I would love to see you swatch out all your new paints..I dont mean review them, just swatch each one in real time with the name and pigment info for each included. I know this sounds like a lot of work but swatching videos are incredibly popular and desired and most every artist i know loves watching people swatch their art supplies so we can see whats out there and experience art supplies we might be interested in...some artists on youtube even monthly or weekly swatch out their favorite art supplies that week which always gets tons of views and lovely comments...BUT either way, I would love to see you swatch out your new paints in real time with the names of each paint included so we know what color you are swatching at the time; especially the Schmincke, Daniel Smith and Holbein:) Anyway thanks for sharing and much much ❤
Nadeane, I wish I had seen this comment of yours way earlier, before I started to record and edit my Swatching Series! This is such useful info, I already added some of your advice to my upcoming video, e.g. pigment info. I will take everything you said into account for upcoming videos, I am still new to this UA-cam thing but I watch Natasha Newton and she does a lot of long real-time swatching, and it’s so relaxing and I enjoy that type of content so much! Thank you for your feedback and kindness
I mean every once in a while you need yo spoil yourself so don't let that shame ruin the excitement of the new supplies 😍 also for the poster colors I've seen an artist put a small layer of some kind of oil I think to keep the paint wet. So I hope your binder idea works as well good luck with it 👏🏽
Oh my god, I neeeeed to know who that artist is and what it was!!! I searched everywhere how to save it, I could not find anything! Fingers crossed I will not ruin my paints for good 😅 Thanks for that tip, makes me think I should research more, maybe learn some japanese
@@E4Alabbasy Hey! Just wanted to let you know: I think I know what it was now! It has to be Vegetable Glycerin! I will try it out! Thanks so much for your hint, I am so excited to try it!!!
Hahaha I admit I watched this because I'm trying to feel less guilty about the art haul video I'm going to have after my recent spending sprees. I work hard, I pay my bills, there's no reason for guilt or embarrassment, but that's how I feel!! I will feel better once I actually start using them, I'm sure. I ordered some Turner Acryla Gouache after watching your videos and I'm really excited to try them!!
I feel you, even people tell me not to feel guilty, I always feel that way no matter what I buy 😅 so happy btw for you getting the Turner Acryla Gouache! Loving them, if you got them already please share your impression, I am super curious!
@@MoniDmajor I haven't tried them yet, as I want to finish a big project I'm working on first, but they arrived in the mail yesterday, and are sitting next to me, encouraging me to get work done faster so i can play! 😄
oo I'm so happy i found your channel :D I also live in Germany and have the same issue with Amz ;DD Thanks to you I just learned about two new very interesting art shops :D made my first order in one of them already :D thank you!!
Gladly! Today I recorded a big swatching session, but after that I will give you a Studio Tour :D So, so happy you liked this video and thank you so much for subscribing ❤️
Thank you! You haven’t seen the hidden cluttered corners of mess yet, I managed so far to not show that but might reveal in an upcoming studio tour 😅 And yes, I tried them! I swatched it all and will post a video on that! So many amazing colors, and one of the Irodoris is paticularly pretty, I can’t wait to use it in a piece! I saw you use irodori in your fantastic pieces! You are such an exceptionally good artist, can’t wait to go and analyze you after work (I am at work rn btw)
@@MoniDmajor can't wait to see you use irodori!! And omg thank you, you're so sweet! Tbh I've been drooling over your acrylic gouache video so many times hahaha!
That’s a good point! I use what I have and the things I either didn’t like or didn’t use I gave away to my cousin who is very talented, she does enjoy it!
Ach was, Brotpapier gibt‘s auch als Rolle?! Danke für diesen mega Tipp! Dann werde ich diese Winsor & Newton Palette für Ölfarben nutzen und mir lieber diese Rolle kaufen! Tausend Dank!
Could you please do a review of the Super Granulation Sets 😀 I´m thinking about buying them but they are quite expensive here in Finland as well so I´m thinking I´m gonna have to buy them individually in half pan form from Jacksons Art Supplies online 😅 Wonderful haul... I always get so inspired seeing art supplies hauls and you and I seem to like the same colors 🙂 xx
Hey Anna! Thank you for your comment (and yay, Finland! such a beautiful country 😍). I don’t plan on making a review because I have obliged to some other projects and my pipeline is long BUT I made a swatching video where I swatch all of my Schmincke Supergranulating Colours and this Swatching Session I have real time footage and talk a lot about my impressions so that serves as a review as well! Hope this is helpful to you 😊 Check it out if you want and I am wishing you a fantastic day! ua-cam.com/video/9EAlydl4-Uk/v-deo.html
@MoniDmajor FYI Canson is stopping production of this paper, so I suggest you stock up while you can (they want to promote Arches and Saunders Waterford more instead - apparently it’s the same company) 😋
has anyone told u you have BEE YUU TEE FOOL eyes? XD hehe~ i love how calming this haul is. i dont know why i feel like i need to rush my own hauls but i love how you just slowly take your time with these :D
Lol!!! This is so sweet 🥹 Sketches said that too, and I am so so flattered 🙏 And regarding the haul, I am super slow with everything, what seems relaxing to you is annoying to me because I can’t get myself to create and finish videos because of it, everything I do takes forever 😅 Super honoured you enjoyed it!
I know this is an old video but have you ever tried Etegami? I also have shaky hands, but found that particular style of art to be a great match as it's charm comes from simply rustic strokes instead of precise lines.
Michelle, this is such a great suggestion! I want to in fact get a lot looser and rougher in my work and I never heard of Etegami! Sounds really awesome and I will research it! Thank you so much for this comment!
Oooh, this is a great tip! There’s many amazing stores in the Netherlands, I got my Acryla Gouache from Splendith :) I will check out Trendliving, so greatful for this tip!
You are right, though I find it weird when you enable the “send as few boxes as possible even if it takes longer” options and it shows you you’ll receive 3 boxes - and then it’s like 8
@@MoniDmajorMaybe the orders are all sent to the same location to be then shipped to the buyer? Sure can’t get an answer from Amazon, they are too big to know what’s going on! 🫣 From my mountain top in middle Tennessee, where the mountain tops kiss 💋 the sky🌞! Take care! I hope you are having a wonderful time with all your new art supplies! Fran
I actually live about 40 minutes away from the daniel smith store, unfortunalty they closed the physical store last november which was so sad, you used to be able to make your own dot cards in the store and they let you put so much paint on them. But if you would be interested in doing some supply exchanging i can get the daniel smith paints for quite a bit cheaper than overseas, I also personally have about 60 tubes of daniel smith watercolor tubes, if there is a color you really want to try and I have i can put together a dot card set for you to play around with. Ive actually been looking for someone overseas who would want to do some supply swaps due the price differences and availability for certain brands. If anyone else would be interested in this, I live in the united states on the west coast in Washington State across the water from Seattle so I'm only about 40 minutes away from the Major shopping areas.
I wish I could do that exchanging with you! Unfortunately, when I was new to watercolours I invested in Schmincke, however the vast majority of the colours are in pans and I only have very few tubes (that are almost empty)! I wish I had learned earlier that I prefer tubes 😔 I hope someone here will respond and trade with you!
This is a much requested video and I am glad you want to see it, too. I have recorded other videos that I gotta edit and upload first and the Studio Tour is going to be my next project. I am sorry this is not up yet. UA-cam is currently a side thing and I have a 12h shift job that takes up a lot of time. I hope you can be patient a little more
I personally like black but the downside is it’s hard to tell them all apart, so I always put stickers or labels on them. The colorful ones are often times pricier or too rainbowy for me (is that a word?). I hope you will find a dark green one, haven’t seen one ever
I be have 4 of the 24 well palettes stay wet 3 have had gouache in it for 3 months wet and no mold and a few colors so far in the 36 well stay wet pallette I have 3 of those lol
This is really good information, sounds promising! I wanna test it and if it is going to work at the climate conditions here then I am sure I will get even more palettes in the future! I might even put my Poster colours in there so I don't need to unscrew all the jars individually!
I’m just as crazy as you maybe, I was told by my ex husband that I’m like a drug addict with buying art supplies, my dr’s told me to do what makes me happy as I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer so I am , art makes me happy and I jump around with what I am using I just want to use everything and I do use several mediums a day, I am doing what makes me happy , I don’t know how much longer I have and creating keeps my mind off of this , he thinks I’m nuts because I am buying the 45 set of turner japanesque 20 ml tubes tommorrow or whenever my check goes into my account
Deborah, I am so sorry to hear this and I wish I could give you a real big hug! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ What you are doing is not crazy at all tbh, you just live your best life possible everyday and art is what makes YOU happy and especially with this diagnosis why not making every day count? At the end of the day we work our entire life for money, and that money is barely ever put into something we truly love, we put so many things first before our hobby. I am so in awe with you and maybe it makes you feel less lonely when I say I would do exactly the same. NO REGRETS!
They work fairly well, sometimes there’s still some stains, but barely noticeable, at least you don’t damage the paper as much as when you try to get rid of coloured pencil marks with ordinary erasers. Hope this helps!
Das stimmt schon, aber bei der Bestellung kann man angeben, dass die Sachen in so wenigen Paketen wie möglich versendet werden sollen und es wurden mir 2 Lieferungen angezeigt - es kam das dreifache! Verstehe schon, dass es manchmal nicht anders geht, aber es ist trotzdem echt blöd mit so viel Verpackung.
There is a mistake in this video: I talk about how I got 4 Sets with 5 colours each which equals 20 different colours - NOT 16 like I said in the video *facepalm* Forgive me that mistake, I am honestly proud how I managed life so far being this bad at math 😂Anyway, thanks for yout patience and kindness everyone ❤️
hey don’t be too hard on yourself. many won’t notice and the rest won’t be impacted heavily lol 🌸
Don’t feel ashamed of using and enjoying the money that you work hard for! You deserve to be rewarded for your contribution in the world :)
This is true! You are right, I gotta learn not to feel shame and guilt as much. Thank you so much for encouraging me, super greatful!
I just know when I walk into heaven I’ll be surrounded by my loved one, my precious pets and lots of book stores and lots of art stores and my favorite music!!!!!
Sounds like Heaven, indeed!
Well, that is a proper haul! This must feel like Christmas! Enjoy the supplies dear. There will always be jealous people around. No need to explain yourself, you’ve worked for it!
NO SHAME you beautiful soul!! The art supplies just in their massive boxes look like so much fun lol! I also just spend on art supplies and nothing else pretty much. 🤗😊
I seriously can't wait for the swatching and the room tour and more paintings!!! If you watch Natasha Newton you know how she did a video a while back about making color palettes, and I think you would make such a cool sister video to that!! Thank you so much for the mentions and I'm so excited for these supplies, I have to try the Canson paper and I love the gouache airtight palettes!! Awesome video as per usual!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yesssss!!! Must buy ALL the art supplies!!!! 💖
@@melanie990 Awwwww, I WISH!! I am insatiable lol 😂
@@CreatingCuteArt Oh god, Maggie, I wanna grant you that wish and I am starting to hate my job because it is in my way to put it all out quickly, I‘d rather watch your catalogue of videos and create stuff myself all day, but it is what it is 😅
True 👌 whenever I feel like treating myself after a long hard week I would order some art supplies ☺️
You don’t need to apologize! Your money your choice! I enjoyed your video! 🍄
Thanks Jana! I always feel so much joy for when others have an art splurge but I can’t help but feel weird when I do it. Glad you enjoyed the vid! 🍄 ❤️
swatch them all!! :D I got so excited when I saw all those boxes just thinking about how much fun you will have with your new art supplies. I would love to see video about mixing skin colors
The mixing skin colors is something that I would love to share actually! Thank you so much for the recommendation!
Seconded on the mixing skin colors.
We want to see swatching, reviews and everything! Your videos cannot be too long; I was sad when I came to the end of this one. We love art supplies, too, so we do not tire of seeing your new acquisitions! Thank you so much for sharing! Congratulations on your channel growth, as well!
"I was sad when I came to the end of this one"
Awww, Feeny ❤️ Don't be sad! How happy I am that you enjoyed this! There are other videos to watch on my channel and also there are so many amazing Art UA-camrs you can watch! I recommend CreatingCuteArt and Sketches n Scrubs if you want to see more Haul videos, they also have amazing review and painting process videos! Thanks so much for your sweet comment, I apreciate it so much!
As a professional artist and Bookbinder myself, please DONT feel bad, NOR apologize to any haters that may pop up on here! People have been picking up this nasty habit lately, of getting nasty with people that have alot of art supplies on YT, and shaming them?!?!?! They try to make you feel guilty, and they act like jerks ( Natasha has been having major issues with a few, unfortunately) so they may come here.... PAY THEM NO MIND!!!!! we are adults, we are artists, crafters, hobbyist, beginners and pros...we all gather these supplies over years and years and years, with alot of hardwork, blood, sweat and tears. Hell, I own a FORTUNE in professional artist grade supplies from years upon years of buying them. And I have a bad habbit/addiction to get the full color range of almost every professional brand of artist grade supplies ( literally)! Yes iam extremely fortunate, but because of my hardwork... like everyone else! watercolors ( yes really lol ), colored pencils, pastel pencils, copic markers & refill inks, Ad markers, Molotow & posca paint markers, ink brush pens, acrylic inks, golden acrylics... soft, high-flow & full body, pigmented watercolor markers...inks and pencils, soft pastels ( not all but a ton, all of the terry Ludwig pastels tho lol ) fountain pens with gold flex nibs & flex nibs, fountainbrush pens from Japan, fountain pen inks, pigmented inks, gouche, acryla gouache, brush pens, pan pastels, goatskin leathers from france and Italy ( I make goatskin leather Hardbound watercolor sketchbooks with all the professional 100% cotton papers ) I own most of the artist grade 100% cotton papers & watercolor papers, pastelmat, mixed media papers, Strathmore 500 series papers, comic book boards from Eon & Strathmore, bristol plate, bristol vellum, etc etc in INDUSTRIAL ROLLS ( when available) and imperial sheets. I also make a line of watercolor paints with rare, hard to find, unavailable/discontinued, historical ( specially pure lapis pigments) and cobalt pigments... i have a entire pigment collection worth its weight in gold, equipment, tools, and on and on. Iam not saying this to brag, but from experience... even my good friends that are also artists, bust my stones constantly, and call my studio & Bindery " Deejay's WAREHOUSE of art and binding supplies " 🤣🤣🤣 they will literally stop by and start browsing around, because i have everything set up and displayed all around my studio & Bindery. Everything has its own place ( OCD ). we all work extremely hard to have the abilities to purchase these things... whether you are professional or hobbyist, crafter... whatever. It's your money, buy as much as you wish without BS guilt from others. It really makes me mad when I see people on here shaming others, simply because they dont have it and you do! "Nobody needs this many/much supplies blah blah blah" so they just try to tear people down like jerks. Anyways, I've ranted enough lol. Thanks for sharing your haul with us, AND ENJOY all of your amazing supplies! You have very nice taste in supplies may I add. I love getting a large haul every other month or so, to restock or try something new. And i love seeing other artist hauls too! Have a great day and cheers 🍻
OMG, Dejay, this comment rules! I've seen what happened to Natasha Newton in regards to mean comments, and I also got my own share of comments on consumerism with art supplies. They were not really nasty, but seeing that all my art hauls, even though many people seem to love them, have gotten a significantly large number of dislikes, that makes me worried a little. I don't know if it's envy, anti-capitalism / consumerism or people just simply hating my guts and not clicking with me. Anyway, you do you and quite frankly, even if some art supplies end up catching dust - it's every artists own decisions and consequences. Why would anyone's buying habits affect my own life? The don't and that's why I never feel any negativity towards people who get new goodies, the contrary, I am happy and excited for them almost as if I got those materials myself. It's so strange: when a musician buys instruments, studio supplies, new frets, whatever - nobody comes along bitxhing about it. If a musician plays a cover song, people celebrate it and they don't tell them they are not supposed to be inspired or play an interpretation of someone elses song, these covers appear on albums and get played at concerts. The art community is mostly very kind, but every now and then you have people who get mad you buy art materials, or paint something that resembles a certain style / is inspired by the art of someone else (I am not talking stealing or very obvious copies without reference). I would have never learned how to paint if it weren't for studies and I find it sickening when beginner artists are being accused of copying, or artists told to only share something "original" (I hate that word). Same goes for art supply purchases. Like you said, you are a professional artist and these are your tools. Oh lord, I am trying to envision your studio, filled to the brim with so many things - like an art supply museum 😂❤️ I approve! So happy for you 😄 Have a fantastic day, Deejay
@@MoniDmajordon't stress about it! I believe that money is there to be spent and make you happy. Life is too short to deny oneself happiness
You don't have to make excuses for spending a bunch of money on art supplies,if it makes you happy,it's worth it!!😊
I loooove doing art and discover new things, I love art supplies and unboxing videos ..so win ,win😂
Wish you all the best from the south of Germany😊🌼
Awww, this is such a lovely comment to read ona a working saturday! So glad you liked this video, I love unboxing and art supply haul videos, too! Art supplies make me happy indeed and so good to hear you can relate! Liebe Grüße aus Berlin und hab ein tolles Wochenende, Alina 😄☀️
If you can afford it, buy it 🥰. Nothing to be ashamed of and you don’t need to explain either. We all have, earn different amount of money what each us spend it on is up to every individual person. I’m one of those who don’t drink alcohol, don’t smoke, spend zero on cosmetics and very little on clothes and other things. Expect hobby materials and good food 😋, that’s just what I prefer. If other people prefer to spend their money on different things more power to you. We all need to accept our differences even when it comes to money and empower each other 🥰.
I love unboxing videos, this one too 😍
Never be ashamed of buying art supplies! I have a terrible paper addiction! That pad is probably a 90lb sheet pad for sketching. The St Cuthberts is a very good paper and I believe that when they glue it down on all side they call it a “block” I have used porcelain plates for general palettes, I especially like full pans rather than the 1/2 pans my brushes are lasting longer too! I recently got the new inking brush that comes with JAZZA’s new professional kit. I only bought the small marker set mostly just for the brush marker for inking! You can buy it by itself a better bargain than buying his entire box as I have everything else he was selling. WoW so many goodies! I liked that Canson heritage series too! Ok I am stopping, but you are so lucky to have the ability to enjoy your art supplies! Be safe and take care!
In the meantime I tried St. Cuthberts and it is actually on par now with Canson Heritage Coldpressed now! Your comment is great btw, so much knowledge! I never thought about half pans being bad for bristles but it makes sense! That Jazza inking brush is something I will look into! Right now Princeton Select Liner in 0 is my favorite Liner brush but I am desperately trying to find something better because it breaks so quickly and it is really hard to get it, they don't sell them in Germany, gotta ship from overseas and it's sold out every time I check, so if you happen to know some inker or liner that can hold enough paint and is sturdy enough for shaky hands I would love to hear! Thank you so much!!
I loved this vid and I'm super excited for you and all the fun you're going to have with all your new goodies!! CreatingCuteArt is honestly one of the sweetest people I've ever spoken to, I'm so glad others are starting to see that as well and are learning from her. She's an excellent teacher with loads of patience that I'd never have, lol!
I am so inspired by you for many reasons, one being your openness about your hands! I have chronic pain and the meds I use have overtime caused shakiness and random involuntary spasms, which have left me super depressed about with my artwork. It's extremely frustrating to be in the zone and suddenly lose control of my hand, have it trail across my paper and instantly ruin whatever I've been working on. You give me hope, because you understand the frustrations yet you still make absolutely amazing art! Thank you for that inspiration, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Also, you mentioned distilled water for your gouache. I've never thought of that. I've always used a spray bottle with tap or bottled water. What's the difference or benefit to using distilled? I'm super intrigued!
Thank you so much, Melanie! What a beautiful name btw 😊 I totally agree, I think CreatinCuteArt is highly underrated considering the content she puts out and the effort she puts in! She is so kind, full of positivity, a great speaker and teacher and so much more! I feel you in regards to the spasms and losing control. This is indeed depressing but there are ways to make things a little easier for you, such as bigger paper and brushes and pens with sturdier bristles. Also I have been thinking, maybe you can use it to your advantage! Look, who said you always need the most perfect edges, there are many artists who are amazing and their art does not look perfect from a conventional standpoint but it adds to the charm! And the distilled water is because depending on your location tap water can increase the chance of your paints getting mold , distilled water is cleaner and free from additives, chalk and stone and I also heard that the paint spreads easier when you use that instead, so I was thinking maybe use that instead of tap water. Maybe the difference is insignificant but it is something that I am willing to try out. Melanie, thank you so much again and have a wonderful day!
Uhhh that Canson paper is the BEST!!!!!!
It’s worth every penny
I agree! Tried many over the years but this one is my favorite!
This was so fun to watch!!! Thank you for sharing your unboxing video with us! I love unboxing and swatching videos. Please swatch the gouache colors.
So happy to hear I am not the only one who enjoys unboxing and haul videos! Thank you for watching and letting me know that you enjoyed it!
I love your videos your voice is so calming. You deserve to treat yourself, no shame! 💗
Megan, this comment made me smile! I always think I sound like a 10 year old boy who can’t speak english proper and feel a little insecure but your comment helped! Thank you so so very much for your kindness!
I agree completely, your voice is soothing and sweet
I hope you are having a happy Wednesday. You truly sound wonderful. I hope to see more videos soon. I’m newer in the art world and you explain everything so well.
I also have very shaky hands, and I am not crazy about the PocketBrush Pen either! Everyone seems to love it but I find it really hard to use! It's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
I have been thinking, maybe people swear on it and like it so much because it is the only brush pen they ever tried, it seems to be the most available of that type. Even on super large canvas I can’t control it at all. I always thought I am the only one, the odd one 😆 but it’s such a relief to hear you don’t like it! And yes, it sucks to be in the shaky hands club but it hopefully will never prevent us from being creative 😊 Thank you for your comment!
I feel like I used to be so much better at using it, my inking is not at confident as is used to be 💔
Yesssss!!!! Your space is so gorgeous, too, I've never seen it before! Ok I am so excited!! Leaving this comment as it just started, will I'm sure be commenting consistently as I'm watching 🤣🤗

thanks to u i disovered a new shop for art supplies in germany, thx. And your voice is really calming^^
Such a lovely comment, I am glad it helped you finding the store (was it Peters Art?) and thank you so much for sharing that you like my voice, makes me feel less insecure about it. Hearing yourself feels so awkward 😅
I too can totally relate to a bit of cognitive dissonance when faced with my art supply purchases but… I'm a collector of 🎨 art supplies. If it's your passion, it's no different to playing golf or whatever. I'm sure you work hard for your income. So don't feel shame, enjoy your supplies. You've worked hard for them. I loved seeing your unboxing.
So glad you enjoyed it! And yes, exactly that! When my family asks why I need more, I ask my dad why he needs new bbq supplies or my mom why she bought the 100th cooking book. We all have our passions and hobbies, life’s too short to wait for later in life.
So happy you are back. I grabbed my tea and gonna watch this,I can't wait to see what you got!
Just started watching and will edit my comment once I finish but I have the exact deleter sketchbook : it has 17 pages of 135 gsm paper if I remember well. I don\t recommend it for wet media, but you can get some interesting effects with pencils/copics.
Deleter makes some really great stuff for manga artists - their inks (the white one #2 is the best opaque white I ever tried) are really good if you use pen nibs for lineart and the deleter manuscript paper is AMAZING for blending copics (it's what a lot of illustrators in Japan use and personally makes a BIG difference on how copics blend ).
EDIT:
Congratulations on all the new and exciting art supplies you got! It's such a slippery slope and you're definitely not the only one who treats herself every now and then,so don't feel guilty!
I'm pretty much the same, I don't spend $$$ on clothes or anything else anymore, so getting some new paints is acceptable and it actually lasts you a while (unlike makeup for example, which expires and can be quite expensive as well).
I think you'll really enjoy those brushpens, the pentel ones are great and I think the one you got is a staple for manga artists, plus they come in a lot of shapes and sizes. The ink lasts forever and they don't dry out or leak (at least from my personal experience). I do find these brush pens have a learning curves and can be VERY VERY intimidating lol.
Btw they are called "fude" or "fudenosuke" means "ink brush" ,so it refers to that brush-like nib as well.
I think you may know that they work best on bristol and vellum smooth paper (like the Canson Bristol , Deleter paper etc) , that really smooth,silky paper. On more absorbant papers the ink can feather and you can get some nice effects,so experiment with them!
If you like waterbrushes definitely check out the Tombow ones (they come in 3 sizes) - they are quite cheap and great quality. I don't know what magic japanese people do to make such great art supplies especially for such prices,honestly.
Ooooh, Nicker poster colors! Those are seriously great, they have a great color range and blend great! Their lilac color (Heliotrope) is TO DIE FOR. Plus those little jars are so cute.
Please swatch those liquid watercolors,the new Schminkes and the Holbein (normal) Gouaches! I'd love to see how they perform, as I'm yet to get my hands on some of them.
The flashe paints from Lefranc are similar to opaque acrylic paints indeed but they have a nice finish and smooth (?) feeling. I don't really know how to describe it but you'll probably understand this once you use them.
As for pencils, I still this the color selection for the Caran D'ache is extremely well curated, they have some really interesting pale/pastel/muted-ish colors, which I see you have purchased as well. And,as everything Caran D'ache, they're stupidly high pigmented lol. I honestly think you might enjoy the Neocolor 2 , watersoluble pastel pencils , it can be so relaxing to work with them since every bit of pigment dissolves when you add water and you don't get that graininess that some watercolor/watersoluble pencils can get.
I'm curious how the Schmincke gouaches compare to the Holbeins or Winsor&Newton, if you have and input on this I'd love to know.
Keeping my fingers crossed for a swatch video soon!
Oh my god, Alice! Not only are you making my day with your kindness but also you just gave us such good information! The opaque white you just mentioned is something I will keep my eyes on, but probably not this year (since my wallet needs a break 😂)
@@MoniDmajor You're welcome, I always enjoy your videos.
Omg, Alice, you just exposed yourself as one of the biggest art nerds out here! The knowledge you have is exceptional! Love this comment and thank you so much for having invested time in educating us! Thanks as well for letting me know what you are most interested in seeing! Here‘s a hug to you! Have a wonderful day 😚
It is my DREAM to be able to treat myself like this one of these days, and just whichever art supplies strike my fancy. I know those Daniel Smith watercolors were a big hit to your pocketbook, but you’re going to love them, they’re so good!
They truly were and even though I am happy I got them I am a little angry because I fell in love with that brand and want more - not good! I only buy art supplies every other year or so and always save up for it so I was glad this time I was able to spend some without turning every penny. That said, I still feel guilty always, even though I don’t treat myself with anything else really. I subscribed to you btw!
@@MoniDmajor aww, thanks so much!
I know what you mean, you kind of always want the hyped up expensive products to not live up to the hype, so that you don't have an excuse to spend all your money on them. 😅
Don{t feel guilty! You bought great supplies!!! Great quality that will last! Enjoy❤
Thank you so much, it’s hard not to but I am actually really happy with all the goodies and I do not regret it!
Contenuto davvero bellissimo! è di enorme ispirazione per chi guarda. Fai più contenuti così, complimenti ancora.
Thank you so much 😊
I am so happy I found your channel! Great haul and the video was great!!!!!!! I subscribed w
Yay!!! ❤️ 😄 Thank you so so much, Deborah!
I also have shaky hands and that pentel pocket brush pen is like a challenge I keep trying to conquer, haha! But really, my favirite is the Kuretake extra fine tip brush pen, it can create really delicate lines but not too flexible that it's difficult to use.
Somewhat relieving to hear I am not the only one, having shaky hands sucks. Pentel pocket brush pen just isn't made for us, or anyone who draws on small sized paper :D I also like the Kuretake! My absolute Favorite is Kuretake Zig, unfortunately the ink is watersoluble ah well
Just found your channel. Also splurged on some supplies as well. Looking forward to seeing more of your process.
Oh yay! ☀️😄 Welcome and so glad to have you here!
This looks so fun!! I'm excited for Christmas so I can get books and art supplies. It's always so fun to open up a whole bunch of new unfamiliar supplies and try them out!
Thank you for the video I liked the way you approached this haul your intro and descriptions. I lived in Berlin a few years back and we loved it, so I was so happy note you are in Berlin. I will never forget my outings to find art supply stores in Berlin. I dragged my children far across town once and I wish I could remember it but I can't find nearly as many stores like that here in Denver, CO. So glad this video popped up for me. Also vielen dank for the recommendations about creating cute art and Natasha Newton.
Aww, you are from Colorado?? So is Maggie / CreatingCuteArt! I have never been in the US but I heard it's such a nice place, it looks so beautiful there with the Great Sand Dunes and your people al seem so chill and nice! I don't like Berlin that much, but it's probably because I have been here all my life, so I am affected by wanderlust, living on the countryside would be nice, but I can' deny we have a lot of small and cozy nerd shops, Berlin is a paradise for creatives :) Thank you so much for letting me know that you liked how I approached the video btw, I am still new to all this and most of the time I feel like I don't know what I am doing, so that helps so much!!❤️
I really love the video and you must had so much fun with all these boxes! And the Hekalia Box looks so awesome! And thanks for sharing all of the additional information for the supplies. :)
Thank you so much for letting me know this, Mochimona :D I am so glad you enjoyed it! And yes, the Heikala box is so pretty looking, too, no way I will throw it away! I will use it to store supplies I think 😄❤️ Have a wonderful day!
Wonderful Haul!!!loved your selection and your video so much!Thank you for all your hard work!❤
Omg, thank you so much for appreciating my efforts, it was a monster to edit but hearing you enjoyed it was worth it all! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love swatches of everything!!! the gouache, watercolour, pencils!!! the crayon things. Im not fussed about reviews (seems like hard work) but i LOVE swatches
Chloe, guess what: I finished recording my big swatching session and I swatched it all! 😄 Now I just need to edit it ;) Unfortunately I have a day / night shift job so I gotta edit inbetween. Hope you can be patient a little more 😅
@@MoniDmajor dont worry :) i can be patient. Dont work yourself too hard in between work :)
This was so exciting to watch!! Everything looks so good!!
I was a little worried first wether or not to make this video but reading this and hearing people enjoy watching unboxing vids and feel the excitement over new art supplies, it makes me so glad! I also love unboxing and haul videos and I am glad you enjoyed mine and that I didn't waste your time! Thank you so very much, Chloe!
@@MoniDmajor i love them too. Its like watching presents being unwrapped! i think a lot of people get the the excitement of getting their favourite art supplies when watching these too. It's not really about how much it costs or whatever, just about how happy the materials make us and the inspiration they can give :)
Peter's Art is THE store! They have all thar rare stuff, like the Holbein stuff.
Peter’s Art is like an apartment that they turned into a store / warehouse. Really narrow and small but so well stocked and being there feels like being in a cozy museum! The staff is so nice as well, Peter himself and many of their staff are actually polish just like me, and just like you said they don’t sell irrelevant or cheaper than student grade stuff when you’re there you can just feel they know us art nerds :) And you have no idea how much relief I feel that I am not the only one who feels the guilt 😅
@@MoniDmajor I will defo go there when I'm in Berlin again the next time. Last time, I did not know Peters Art yet, SHAAAAME ON ME (and my bank account screams too hahaha).
Yes, know the guilt AND also the absolute need to have this beautiful stuff.
A while ago I made a very similar haul: Daniel Smith (even many similar colors :-D ) and the Schmincke Super Granulating Colors (of course more than one set. I can't have that, when there are so many, to pick out one. Buying only one would be a waste for me- I would think of all the other sets when I would get that one)... Etc,... Etc,... So... Guess I am guilty.
All the best to you and I loooove your videos!
@@loveisfreedom777 Oh damn, Lulu, that’s exactly my thinking and then I get way too much 😅
@@MoniDmajor Soulmates are everywhere, sigh. 😅 💟
This is the best art haul I’ve ever seen in my life 😍 congratulations for your hard work and treating yourself for a well deserved art haul!
Gaby, your comment made me so happy! I love haul videos so much and I have seen so many good ones and I never thought anyone would like the one I made! And I was scared to receive mean comments, too! Wow, you really made my day, thank you so so much!! 🥲😘😘😘
so glad to see a new upload from you, absolutely love your content and aesthetic choices ^_^ I relate with buyer's guilt but as long as we use what we buy it's probably not a waste 😺These art supplies look lovely, I am patiently waiting for the swatching video 😊
Thank you so much! And thanks too for being patient, I don’t think I can record sooner than tomorrow and with editing hopefully an upload some time next week. I work 12h shifts and after work I am too exhausted to work on videos, unfortunately. Anyway, thanks again for your kind words! 💕
@@MoniDmajor You are very welcome. I completely understand, I mean I am exhausted after much less work. Take your time and only do it when you are ready and feeling it ^_^
It's not a waste if they bring you pleasure.
@@sandfly60 you are right ^_^
Thanks Moni,
My first video, subscribed early within a few seconds of hearing your voice.
Your tools are never stuff.
They are simply, "the tools of an artiste'"
No regrets, no guilt
Just pure joy.
As we say in Australia (when we leave to say goodbye)

Eliza, you are truly are the sweetest and kindest! Thank you for your words of encouragement, it‘s something I gotta learn yet that it is okay to spend money for things that make me happy. It just happens to come at a weird moment in history, there is so many bad things going on in the world right now and I feel guilt over many things. I am fortunate and I should learn to be happy and embrace it. thank you so much, sending warm hugs to Sidney
I can't believe you are such a small channel; your content is excellent! I just found you today, and I hope you see a lot of growth because you absolutely deserve it!
I am so glad you discovered my channel! It is small because art is just my hobby and I can't upload weekly but I try my best to make good content so I don't waste anyone's time, I love connecting with art nerds :) Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate it so much!
@@MoniDmajor I love it. I'm so here for people just making content about the stuff they love while they have another life. Your enjoyment really comes through. ☺️
Dont apologize for buying all the wonderful stuff enjoy
Haha, okay I’ll try to feel less guilty about my upcoming Haul :) Thank you, Sue!
So enjoyable. Great haul. Congrats!
Great video! looks like you're set for a bunch of awesome paintings!
Thank you so much! Yes, a few months later I am still happy about with all the goodies ❤️ Glad you liked the video
I just wanted to say that I discovered your channel through UA-cam recommending me this video today and wow! I love your style of filming and obviously all the art content. Especially your first video really inspired me to start practicing more and not feeling weird for not being able to make things absolutely perfect with colour mixing on the first try. Super helpful and really fun and well done videos! And I think now I will have to save up a bit for more art supplies since these coloured pencils look amazing! From one Berlin based artist to another, keep up the great work!
Your comment makes me so happy in so many regards! The best thing I can possibly get to hear is either that I was of big help or that you are motivated or inspired! I am a chronical overthinker and often times it prevents me of doing art or just experimenting in the first place, but we need to remind ourselves to overcome that, I love hearing that message so putting it into practice and sharing it with others is something I strive for. I am also happy because now I discovered you! I am at work at the moment but I just peeked at your channel and so so glad because you are such a skilled artist, now I have new things to watch! Wow...❤️ Nochmal hundert tausend Dank und riesen Drücker! ❤️
Nice work my dear friend👌
That deleter sketchbook works best with the Deleter NeoPiko alcohol markers. Love those little doods
Thanks for clarification, I didn’t know this!
@@MoniDmajor the markers are sadly only slightly less pricey that Copic but not by much. They are about the same quality though so honestly a few cents off each marker adds up in a good way I guess.
Awwww. Sending hugs from the fellow artist with shaky hands! i thought i was the only one :D
Hugs back to you! It is such a relief to hear I am not the only one, I feel less odd and lonely with this issue now!
WSo many stuff=3 Thank you for sharing with us=3
I know I’m late to the party so to speak but I’ve only been doing art for 3 months and I already have about 100 acrylic markers, 30 pastel pencils, 24 charcoal pencils, 8 different sets/brands of watercolours plus gauche and acrylic paint (that was free) about 40 gel pens, fine liners both coloured and black, about 180 oil pastels, water soluble graphite pencils, two sets of standard pencils, couple of hundred water colour pencils (cheap set first now upgrading) 30-40 different watercolour journals/paper, sketch pads, black sketch paper, 10ish sets of oil pastel paper, 3 drawing boards, 2 types of tracing paper that I may never use because I enjoy drawing, paint storage drawers, meeden art storage box with easel, watercolour travel kit, 2 pencil cases and 3 rolls, white markers, rulers, masking fluid x 2, multiple sets of washi tape and masking tape, 4+ sets of brushes, couple of sets of palette knives, books both art and inspiration only, 6 or so empty palettes of different sizes, several mixing palettes, aprons, glue, glitter pens, highlighters, pencil sharpeners, fixative spray and an addiction to Faber-Castell 😂😂😂😂😂
I love watching haul videos (except searching) for every hater there’s 2 that enjoy it ❤
I too fell in love with indigo! Aaah! And yeah, feeling guilty af when buying new stuff. I'm officially a hoarder - art supply hoarder. And then I need to buy a cheap version of the same art supply, because I'm not worth using the one I already bought. Silly all the way!
Oh also.... I think you haven't used indigo in a painting video yet, have you? Perhaps you'll find the time to embrace the indigo love!
Hahahaa!!! I am feeling the "buying cheaper alternatives because too scared to use the expensive art supplies" part 😂❤️ It's not silly, dear, it's just logical! And yes, you are absolutely right, I need to really go and demonstrate some paintings based on gorgeous indigo!
Of course you are worth using those expensive art supplies. I understand the problem but just jump in! Says the woman who hasn't opened her A Gallo watercolours yet. It's like looking as a box of jewels to me. 🤪😂
@@sandfly60 That’s what they are for, to be used, and it’s so wrong to think we aren’t worth the fancy stuff. I think both cheap and luxurious art supplies are important, first to play without fear and latter to really learn about and get the best out of a medium!
Wow congratulations on your 1k subscriber mark. Your videos are very high quality so is well deserved. I am very interested in the Rohrer und Klingner Zeichentusche inks! I am thinking of buying a set.
I recorded a swatching session and Zeichentusche is also included! Spoiler alert: They ARE good! You will not regret it (another spoiler, don't get Schmincke Aqua Drops). Thank you so much for the praise btw, I appreciate it so much!
@@MoniDmajor Thank you for your service to the art community!
Hi Moni. By chance I found this video. What fun to see your haul. I also have a hand tremor and have also been trying to conquer my Pentel brush pen. I havent had much luck with it. I am a beginner watercolor painter. My tremor makes painting a challenge, but I really like painting small…usually 5” x 7”. I have also attempted some miniature paintings the size of a euro coin. It’s fun. I just accept whatever shaky lines I end up with. It is nice to know I’m not the only one with this shaky challenge. I just subscribed to your channel and hope to see your work.
Hey Karen, thank you so much for subscribing, I have a couple of painting process videos up. Regarding the hand tremors: it feels good to hear I am not the only one, feeling like a weirdo sometimes. Like you I make it work by either painting really large - OR super tiny (usually in my sketchbook). I find it easy when I can have my hand rest. Thank you so much ☺️
I certainly can relate. I’m an art supply addict.
Great! It‘s the best addiction one can possibly have imo 😁
Beautiful supplies enjoy 😉
Thank you Sara, this is so sweet! ❤️
I wish I saw this vedio before... I ordered heikala liquid colors but I did not find the box so I ordered them seperatly from the save website and I only ordered one of her brushes the smallest one.. and I regret not buying more, they are amaaaazing the best synthatic... however enjoy them💜💜💜
Aww, I feel you! I also made orders in the past and then realized I could have made a better deal! I try not to think about it, but it isn’t easy! I agree with you, these brushes are sooo good!
You got a new subscriber from Louisville, KY, USA! I enjoyed this haul. Great job!
Awww, hugs from Berlin to Louisville!! Thank you so much 🙏 means a lot 🥲
Same the only thing I seem to spend extra money is art supplies. I buy them and then make something with it and sell it that way I get my money back and extra to buy more art supplies lol
This is actually really smart, LemonEd! If only I would buy and swatch less and actually start painting more, maybe I could do the same! haha maybe quit my job and earn money with art even - lemme dream 😄 I am so happy you get to earn money with your art!
I recently got some goodies too, your video is making me try out something to post toooo😍😍
Please do share if you haven’t yet, we will all never get tired of seeing people share their goodies!
The price of that paper and those colored pencils had me freaking out lol. You're so fortunate. Those pencils look AMAZING. I think I'm gonna do a search of ppl coloring with them.
Hi Monika( hope this is the right spelling of your name, I apologize if it is not ) from Santa Barbara, California! I just discovered your channel and I am already addicted! Loved the art supplies, never can an art supply haul be big enough for me😃. I would love to see more of your painting videos, but no pressure, all your videos are beautiful. On a different note, next time I visit Berlin ( loved Berlin/Germany, visited in 2014 ) I am rushing to the art supply stores you mentioned!!😍🤩🤩🎨🖌
Debjani, so great you visited Berlin! I dream of going to California, you have so many exceptionally creative people there I find! If you ever visit Berlin, definitely go to Peters Art! It is like ground floor apartment that they turned into an art supply store! There are many small rooms and each one as well as all the corridors, they are all for different categories! Acrylics room, Oils hallway, watercolor living room, Papers and Notebooks guest room etc.! It seems small and cozy but it actually is t small at all! They sell what art nerds are into, not the stuff you see in conventional art stores. They seem to know us artists very well 😆 Also, the owner is polish, and so is his staff. I come from poland so it’s always cozy and homey to hear people speak in my other language. Gerstaecker is an online store and I am not sure wether they have a physical store. Anyway, thank you so much for your praise and feedback and after I am done with the upcoming swatching videos (and the studio tour) I will get back to actual painting! I want to experiment lots to find my voice and expand my skills and I will gladly share that with you! I love watching other artists journeys! And I love hanging out in comment sections of art videos as well, that’s where the real fun is imo!
I can definitely relate to splurging on art supplies if nothing else… I also collect dolls so these are the two thing my money goes to! Nice materials you got :)
Wow, I never heard of anyone collecting dolls, but it makes total sense! I loved dolls even into my teenage years and there is just something about them! Do you collect a specific kind of dolls?
@@MoniDmajor there is a huge community of doll collectors around the world now, you can easily find videos here and many communities on Facebook dedicated to specific dolls. I started with Blythe dolls initially, than got into Licca chan, both Japanese, and from there just got what my heart desired really. Right now my collection is mostly Japanese, Chinese and Spanish dolls (Spain has a long tradition in doll making, the most popular being Paola Reina). It’s a whole new world out there once you discover it :)
@@coloredcarol8074 Thank you so much for taking your time to educate me on this! I feel very much enlightened and I will definitely go and research this, thanks to you I know what to search for! However I must admit I am a little worried I‘ll fill in love and become victim to another hobby that drains my bank account lol 😝
About stopping paint from drying too fast, Check out this video on using watercolour medium!! ua-cam.com/video/vGEnHB2Eq10/v-deo.html
She adds the medium to gouache to make pre-mixed paint. I think it will benefit poster colours too
Thank you so much! This is actually the exact video I mentioned in my video and I bought that medium!
@@MoniDmajor Haha sorry about rushing to comment before watching all of it, pls ignore me hahaha. Halfway thru still and loving the vid!! Your channel is SO GOOD keep it up 💕
@@ebiosh2032 It’s just so great you made this comment because many people read through the comments and then they can just click on the link you just posted or know the answer without having watched my long video! Really happy you liked the video ebiosh!
Oooo thank you for that link!!!! I can use all the tips I can get in this category!!!
Nice video. 👍Thanks for your sharing🙏
Thank you so much! 😄
Great video! I would love to see you swatch out all your new paints..I dont mean review them, just swatch each one in real time with the name and pigment info for each included. I know this sounds like a lot of work but swatching videos are incredibly popular and desired and most every artist i know loves watching people swatch their art supplies so we can see whats out there and experience art supplies we might be interested in...some artists on youtube even monthly or weekly swatch out their favorite art supplies that week which always gets tons of views and lovely comments...BUT either way, I would love to see you swatch out your new paints in real time with the names of each paint included so we know what color you are swatching at the time; especially the Schmincke, Daniel Smith and Holbein:) Anyway thanks for sharing and much much ❤
Nadeane, I wish I had seen this comment of yours way earlier, before I started to record and edit my Swatching Series! This is such useful info, I already added some of your advice to my upcoming video, e.g. pigment info. I will take everything you said into account for upcoming videos, I am still new to this UA-cam thing but I watch Natasha Newton and she does a lot of long real-time swatching, and it’s so relaxing and I enjoy that type of content so much! Thank you for your feedback and kindness
I mean every once in a while you need yo spoil yourself so don't let that shame ruin the excitement of the new supplies 😍 also for the poster colors I've seen an artist put a small layer of some kind of oil I think to keep the paint wet. So I hope your binder idea works as well good luck with it 👏🏽
Oh my god, I neeeeed to know who that artist is and what it was!!! I searched everywhere how to save it, I could not find anything! Fingers crossed I will not ruin my paints for good 😅 Thanks for that tip, makes me think I should research more, maybe learn some japanese
@@MoniDmajor So sorry I don't remember the artist's name at all 😩💔 but if I ever come across her videos again I'll let you know 👌🏽
@@E4Alabbasy No worries! So it is a female artist 🤔 Gonna investigate 🔍
@@E4Alabbasy Hey! Just wanted to let you know: I think I know what it was now! It has to be Vegetable Glycerin! I will try it out! Thanks so much for your hint, I am so excited to try it!!!

Hahaha I admit I watched this because I'm trying to feel less guilty about the art haul video I'm going to have after my recent spending sprees. I work hard, I pay my bills, there's no reason for guilt or embarrassment, but that's how I feel!! I will feel better once I actually start using them, I'm sure. I ordered some Turner Acryla Gouache after watching your videos and I'm really excited to try them!!
I feel you, even people tell me not to feel guilty, I always feel that way no matter what I buy 😅 so happy btw for you getting the Turner Acryla Gouache! Loving them, if you got them already please share your impression, I am super curious!
@@MoniDmajor I haven't tried them yet, as I want to finish a big project I'm working on first, but they arrived in the mail yesterday, and are sitting next to me, encouraging me to get work done faster so i can play! 😄

They really do! Thank you 😄
Aaaaaaarrrgh Horadam SUPER granulating watercolours YES! 🤤🤤🤤
They are my favorites, but if I was US based I’d probably grab more Daniel Smith granulating paints. Schmincke is cheaper here in Germany!
@@MoniDmajor I'm in Australia and nothing is cheap here.

Your studio is an absolute goal 😍 Did you get to try any of the super granulating sets yet? Any favourites? Also irodori gouache!! I love it so much.
Thank you! You haven’t seen the hidden cluttered corners of mess yet, I managed so far to not show that but might reveal in an upcoming studio tour 😅 And yes, I tried them! I swatched it all and will post a video on that! So many amazing colors, and one of the Irodoris is paticularly pretty, I can’t wait to use it in a piece!

Ach was, Brotpapier gibt‘s auch als Rolle?! Danke für diesen mega Tipp! Dann werde ich diese Winsor & Newton Palette für Ölfarben nutzen und mir lieber diese Rolle kaufen! Tausend Dank!
Could you please do a review of the Super Granulation Sets 😀
I´m thinking about buying them but they are quite expensive here in Finland as well so I´m thinking I´m gonna have to buy them individually in half pan form from Jacksons Art Supplies online 😅
Wonderful haul... I always get so inspired seeing art supplies hauls and you and I seem to like the same colors 🙂
xx
Hey Anna! Thank you for your comment (and yay, Finland! such a beautiful country 😍). I don’t plan on making a review because I have obliged to some other projects and my pipeline is long BUT I made a swatching video where I swatch all of my Schmincke Supergranulating Colours and this Swatching Session I have real time footage and talk a lot about my impressions so that serves as a review as well! Hope this is helpful to you 😊 Check it out if you want and I am wishing you a fantastic day!

@MoniDmajor FYI Canson is stopping production of this paper, so I suggest you stock up while you can (they want to promote Arches and Saunders Waterford more instead - apparently it’s the same company) 😋
has anyone told u you have BEE YUU TEE FOOL eyes? XD hehe~ i love how calming this haul is. i dont know why i feel like i need to rush my own hauls but i love how you just slowly take your time with these :D
Lol!!! This is so sweet 🥹 Sketches said that too, and I am so so flattered 🙏 And regarding the haul, I am super slow with everything, what seems relaxing to you is annoying to me because I can’t get myself to create and finish videos because of it, everything I do takes forever 😅 Super honoured you enjoyed it!
I recommend getting a few
Interesting video . Thank you
I know this is an old video but have you ever tried Etegami? I also have shaky hands, but found that particular style of art to be a great match as it's charm comes from simply rustic strokes instead of precise lines.
Michelle, this is such a great suggestion! I want to in fact get a lot looser and rougher in my work and I never heard of Etegami! Sounds really awesome and I will research it! Thank you so much for this comment!
Love from all over
Awww ❤️ Sending love and hugs to you, too!
Nice video🌸🌸😊
Awww!! Thank you so much 😊
Treat yourself!!!!!! I love buying clothes and jewelry but can control myself. Art supplies no way.
Same! For me it's clothes and video games! 😂
Nice!
Nicker is available at Trendliving in the Netherlands 😉
Oooh, this is a great tip! There’s many amazing stores in the Netherlands, I got my Acryla Gouache from Splendith :) I will check out Trendliving, so greatful for this tip!
Try Harolds in Rotterdam some time, amazing store 😍 I love art supply stores I could stay there for days and just play around with everything haha
Yes. I can TOTALLY relate!
Soooo good to hear, I feel less like a weirdo now 😅
Amazon doesn’t have only one warehouse and they have many store owners that do their own shipping.
You are right, though I find it weird when you enable the “send as few boxes as possible even if it takes longer” options and it shows you you’ll receive 3 boxes - and then it’s like 8
@@MoniDmajorMaybe the orders are all sent to the same location to be then shipped to the buyer? Sure can’t get an answer from Amazon, they are too big to know what’s going on! 🫣
From my mountain top in middle Tennessee, where the mountain tops kiss 💋 the sky🌞! Take care! I hope you are having a wonderful time with all your new art supplies! Fran
I actually live about 40 minutes away from the daniel smith store, unfortunalty they closed the physical store last november which was so sad, you used to be able to make your own dot cards in the store and they let you put so much paint on them.
But if you would be interested in doing some supply exchanging i can get the daniel smith paints for quite a bit cheaper than overseas, I also personally have about 60 tubes of daniel smith watercolor tubes, if there is a color you really want to try and I have i can put together a dot card set for you to play around with.
Ive actually been looking for someone overseas who would want to do some supply swaps due the price differences and availability for certain brands.
If anyone else would be interested in this, I live in the united states on the west coast in Washington State across the water from Seattle so I'm only about 40 minutes away from the Major shopping areas.
I wish I could do that exchanging with you! Unfortunately, when I was new to watercolours I invested in Schmincke, however the vast majority of the colours are in pans and I only have very few tubes (that are almost empty)! I wish I had learned earlier that I prefer tubes 😔 I hope someone here will respond and trade with you!
Ok but do you have a art studio tour because I would love to see an indept video about it
This is a much requested video and I am glad you want to see it, too. I have recorded other videos that I gotta edit and upload first and the Studio Tour is going to be my next project. I am sorry this is not up yet. UA-cam is currently a side thing and I have a 12h shift job that takes up a lot of time. I hope you can be patient a little more
thank you
No, thank YOU! 😘
I wish Meeden would make a dark green metal palette. Black all the time is a bit boring to me.
I personally like black but the downside is it’s hard to tell them all apart, so I always put stickers or labels on them. The colorful ones are often times pricier or too rainbowy for me (is that a word?). I hope you will find a dark green one, haven’t seen one ever
I be have 4 of the 24 well palettes stay wet 3 have had gouache in it for 3 months wet and no mold and a few colors so far in the 36 well stay wet pallette I have 3 of those lol
This is really good information, sounds promising! I wanna test it and if it is going to work at the climate conditions here then I am sure I will get even more palettes in the future! I might even put my Poster colours in there so I don't need to unscrew all the jars individually!
I’m just as crazy as you maybe, I was told by my ex husband that I’m like a drug addict with buying art supplies, my dr’s told me to do what makes me happy as I have stage 4 pancreatic cancer so I am , art makes me happy and I jump around with what I am using I just want to use everything and I do use several mediums a day, I am doing what makes me happy , I don’t know how much longer I have and creating keeps my mind off of this , he thinks I’m nuts because I am buying the 45 set of turner japanesque 20 ml tubes tommorrow or whenever my check goes into my account
Deborah, I am so sorry to hear this and I wish I could give you a real big hug! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ What you are doing is not crazy at all tbh, you just live your best life possible everyday and art is what makes YOU happy and especially with this diagnosis why not making every day count? At the end of the day we work our entire life for money, and that money is barely ever put into something we truly love, we put so many things first before our hobby. I am so in awe with you and maybe it makes you feel less lonely when I say I would do exactly the same. NO REGRETS!
You have to pay extra to get fewer boxes . And to get stuff faster.
I checked the box for deliver fewer items, though 🤔 will definitely look closely next time I order
How well does that yellow eraser work on colored pencils ?
They work fairly well, sometimes there’s still some stains, but barely noticeable, at least you don’t damage the paper as much as when you try to get rid of coloured pencil marks with ordinary erasers. Hope this helps!
If you ask Amazon to bundle your packages together they will and are delivered on one day.... your choice.
I did, yet they sent stuff separately. Anyway, thanks for the advice
This was a BIG haul
Yeah, I can‘t deny that 😅 Gotta stop myself, hope I will stay strong and not buy anything anymore this year but I have a feeling I will fail 😛
I loved it!
A shit ton!! 😂😂
Amazon hat nicht in jedem Lager alle Produkte. Deswegen können manche Dinge nicht zusammen verschickten werden 🤷♀️
Das stimmt schon, aber bei der Bestellung kann man angeben, dass die Sachen in so wenigen Paketen wie möglich versendet werden sollen und es wurden mir 2 Lieferungen angezeigt - es kam das dreifache! Verstehe schon, dass es manchmal nicht anders geht, aber es ist trotzdem echt blöd mit so viel Verpackung.
@@MoniDmajor Ja, das stimmt
