I was so happy to have this to color along with!!! I really enjoy your videos and I had been rewatching some of the older ones cause I missed you!! I appreciate the honesty you have with all your reviews. I have struggled with Artxx quality issues in the past. You sailed thru brilliantly!! The swan is glorious! The ugly stage is difficult for me and I am learning to wait it out with you! Thank you! I am in California and was evacuated during the fires we have had here. I am home now but it is a strange feeling with all the destroyed homes and people lost. I am lucky the wind shifted. I have been watching Willa Wanders and Denise Love as well. You have no idea how the company of other artists is so soothing for me now. Or maybe you do!!! anyway you are amazing and I am setting up a new space to paint again!!! Take care!!!❤
So glad to hear you are home and safe now 🩵 I’m so sorry for what you’ve had to go through over there. But I’m glad you have your art to keep you sane! 😅 I am yet to find someone who hasn’t struggled with Arrtx quality issues 🤦🏻♀️😂 but everyone still seems to like them! And I love them, I really do! I just think if anyone buys them they should be ready for some issues.. Oh I know what it’s like to have the company of other artists while you’re working. It’s my favourite thing. Either watching other artists on UA-cam or binging a good series while I’m creating! That’s a reason why I started this channel, because I thought I’d be a pretty good person to hang out with 🙊😆
I really enjoyed this video❤ thank you. I personally never used this brand of acrylic markers, but I want to! I also do prefer longer videos. Because you talk out your process, gives me a better understanding when learning something new. I like that you had the swatches done already and we can see them, then went into actually creating something with them. I think your painting looks beautiful ❤❤❤ thank you for such an informative video!
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching ☺️ I have done a few videos where I swatch the art supplies out first and it just takes up most of the video and can get a bit boring. So I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the way I did this one! I really appreciate your comment! 🩵
I can relate so much to the perfectionism. Perfectionism truly is the killer of joy in art making. Thank goodness for all the free and abstract ways we can paint, draw and mark our way out of it. Life would be so boring with only realistically accurate art!
Perfectionism has held me back from so many things. I absolutely agree with you! It was only when I let go of creating realistically that I truly started to enjoy art and creativity for what it is. And it brings me more joy and happiness now than ever.. but that perfectionism is always trying to creep back in!
The swan turned out soooo good! I love the colors you chose! I have a smaller set of the simptaps and ya i just cant seem to get them right but I love the water technique you did so i might just have to try that in my next video with them! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I was surprised with how well the swan turned out as halfway through I was thinking ‘nope, this is not good’ I always think that though 🤦🏻♀️😂 The water technique is super fun but you have to be so fast!
I just ordered a different set on Amazon, I didn’t see your video first, sorry! This is great though and I hope to have some fun with them when they arrive.
Yes they are very unpredictable I will say that! 😅 some are super dry and some are just spilling out everywhere. I’ll have to check the bullet nib ones out. Thanks!
Hi ya! I prefer a longer chatty video, like this too. It is like having company while I work...although I tend to actually get distracted and watch the video rather than just listen. Sounds like the Arrtx pens still have some quality issues to resolve...but the final painting is great. I just don't like how desaturated they all are, despite the packaging saying 'saturated'. The same with the other Arrtx acrylic markers, they're kinda misty, cloudy colours.
Yes, same! And with the longer videos you don’t have to keep finding something new to watch every 15 mins 😂 I get distracted very easily as we well know. Ahh, desaturated! That’s the exact way I would describe them. I love the colours but I just wish a few of them packed a little more punch. Even if it was just a few! I love playing with them and I can do art so quick with them too but there are a couple of things I wish could be resolved.

That turned out great Amber 🦢 I also prefer your longer chatty videos 😊and how you left in the camera shaking 😂
Thank you so much Pamela! 🥰 I’m glad you enjoyed watching and that camera shake was so funny I had to leave it in 😂
Ive only recently found your channe this week and I'm really enjoying your content and feeling really inspired. May have to go sketch a swan now 😂
Ahh that’s amazing to hear! Thank you ☺️ I’m glad you’ve been enjoying my channel! Happy sketching! This swan was fun 😄🦢
The simptap markers are nice but the pomp i hate, and store every marker horizontal, loved your video 🥰
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ I love the markers but yes, they are a bit annoying 😂

Haha that’s okay! Thank you for watching my video and I hope you enjoy your markers when they arrive!
I have the simptap markers and find them a little unpredictable what with the pump and flow. Just purchased their bullet nib set and am loving those.
Yes they are very unpredictable I will say that! 😅 some are super dry and some are just spilling out everywhere. I’ll have to check the bullet nib ones out. Thanks!
I like your real-time dialogue, without music, please.
Thank you!!
