    I love this format. It's helpful to hear another person's impression of these colors. I know this is a year after the video was made, but I really like this. Thank you for taking the time to do this completely.

    Oh, and just have to comment that Rose is an absolute dear! I love her interactions with you. I'm a cat person, of necessity, since they demand less care as far as being taken for walks, etc. I had polio as an infant, the very end of the epidemic, and post polio syndrome has caught up with me resulting in a disability that makes the extra demands of caring for canines more than I can handle any longer. I'd love to be able to have one as delightful as Rose though.

    I was coloring while I watched. It seems like that set had a nice array of colors with no duplicates. I live about 10 min from Blicks. I'm so lucky. I think it's so cool that they sell them separately. I will b picking up a few.
    Go with the name on the pencil.

Thank you for showing us these beautiful colours and for a great video!

    It’s so weird to hear you call these so good and expensive, since I got these when I was a little kid, from my moms aunt. she knew I loved art and I was old enough to handle them with care, but I’ve never knew they were so good, because I have never known how to use them correctly, so now I’m gonna take them out and try them out😍

  • @cateyes3813
    @cateyes3813 5 років тому +2

    I loooove doing colour charts. Besides being a guide for yourself when choosing colours (as the actual colour of the pencil, gel pen etc is rarely represented accurately by the colour they use for the barrel or the name they assign to a colour, eg “Coral Pink” can often be much more of a Red than it is a Pink - as just one random example), but doing colour charts helps you to really get a thorough knowledge about all kinds of important things about that particular product and about that particular medium in general.
    I have a question and I just wanted to put it in your latest video so you’d be more likely to see it, but since it was a video about swatches/colour charts, I wanted to first add my thoughts about colour charts as well.
    My question is: with, for example, T’GAAL adjustable angle pencil sharpeners, the only angle I ever want is the very short angle produced by using 1 on the T’GAAL. They are fantastic sharpeners, but they do wear out/become blunt after a while and they’re plastic.
    Do you know of any metal pencil sharpeners that do just that short point like 1 on the T’GAAL? Because I don’t need any other variation on the angle, a sharpener with only one hole is fine - I don’t need/want a multiple choice sharpener. Like... does the Alvin Brass come in this style? Cos that’s what I’m after - a metal/stronger one hole pencil sharpener with that T’GAAL 1 angle? I don’t even actually know what they’re called (describing that particular point style), so my research didn’t yield really any results at all, so I thought that you’re someone who has enough knowledge about this sort of detailed stuff that you may know of a metal sharpener that does this. Any clues? Lovin’ from Australia 🇦🇺

    • @ColoringBliss
      @ColoringBliss  5 років тому +1

      Such a good question about pencil sharpeners. It is a good way of sharpening colored pencils...the wood is there to support the soft core.
      I think I would look into the drafting supply world first. That is a group of designers that LOVE a sharp short pencil lead. After that, I would research the Japanese stationary makers...they always seem to be making the most unique products (unfortunately most of them are made of plastic). Good luck and let me know if you find something interesting

  • @artistjoh
    @artistjoh 2 роки тому +1

    I would dispute that lightfastness is their advantage. The blues, greens and browns are mostly good lightfastness, but sadly only Sun Yellow, Fuschia, and Dark Violet are high lightfast amongst the yellows, reds and violets. The worst category is the bright reds, most of which have very poor lightfastness. It is frustrating because I cannot use a full range of colors from them as I refuse to use anything other than the most lightfast colors.
    However I do like to use Inktense as foundation colors, taking advantage of their permanence when dry to use Caran D'ache Museum watercolor pencils over the top of them. This helps with increasing color intensity, and is especially valuable for getting very rich deep and dark tones that have more color than just the Museum colors on their own..
    I also use Albrecht Dürer colors over Inktense as they have better greys than both the Inktense and the Museum range. Each range has their advantages but I have to admit that the Caran D'ache Museum pencils give the most joy. They have the best colors for painting portraits and figures. Lots of great fleshy colors. Curiously they sell "marine" and "landscape" sets, but not a "portrait" set despite having the best portrait colors out of all the various watercolor pencil brands.

    I stayed for the entire video, Rose was a sweet girl. Videos in general for every channel in my opinion does benefit from editing, especially if a video is more than 50 minutes. Yet I will still watch, just maybe fast forwarding a bit. However I'm watching to learn, like that preference of swatching, how you actually use the tip of the core instead of these swatches because they don't work the best for you and your style. That would have been something I'd have missed and wished I would have known. I wanna learn. :) ...... The color swatches could be cut out on the top of your rectangles and you can add them to the tips of the printed colors and maybe tape them on the side of the pencil? You'd still have your swatches and then tip swatches on your pencils.......... Everything is of course your call. Thank you again for your time in making this video for us.

    • @ColoringBliss

    Well, this was really interesting. I have a set of 72 Derwent Inktense pencils and they are nothing like yours. My numbers are different and the names are different than yours. I wonder if the colors are different?? My set is only 4 or 5 years old. Seems strange why a company would do that.

    @aptwalker2009 3 роки тому +1

    Had to split this up and finish today. I'm glad I watched to the end. I have a full set of the blocks, but only a small set of the pencils, the 24 set I believe. I haven't played with them much, but had noticed that the outliner pencil was not water soluble. I noticed now much depth the smudging gave to your final swatch. It looks like a drop shadow that lifts that edge right off the page. I know what I'll be using the pencil for...well, when I figure out where I stashed my pencil set I can put my hands on the block set, but stored the pencil set away, out of sight, out of mind. I hate it when I do that. Lindsay Weirich aka the Frugal Crafter made a faux Peerless Watercolor set by loading small squares of watercolor paper (I think) with the Inktense pigments and glued them into a small booklet that she made, or on individual sheets to keep in the front of a watercolor journal...perfect for travel or plein air work. I tried it and it worked beautifully. I have the Peerless set and the Inktense worked just as well as the Peerless as long as you don't need to rework the page since the Inktense are permanent once they have dried.

    Is so difficult for me to see the actual colors on my phone. I'm trying to see if any of those reds look orangy when diluted. Orangy not pinkish. I bought several reds but when they are diluted they look pinkish. I feel like maybe the Scarlet Pink might be it... but then again, that name is thowing me off. Or perhaps the Chili Red?... Or maybe the set just doesn't have that kind of red.
