I got rid of my dried jelly gouache pots a couple months ago and moved on to tubes and it's been sooo much better. Those jelly pots are fun for messing around but long term their performance degrades as soon as you open them 😭

I love the Strathmore mixed media sketchbook. I've used them for a few years, it makes me feel productive seeing them all lined up. 😂 Love midori paper for line drawing!❤

that unbranded metallic Chinese-style watercolour palette is by Superior, if you are interested. I have a bunch of these as Superior do ok fun paints and the palette is super useful for carrying my Japanese watercolour pans in too for travelling :)

As an Aussie who has been using lousy for many years I squeed a little when I saw them! They are the best, so exciting to see them being used across the world. ❤❤❤ another great video 😘

Thank you for sharing! My family is decorating for Christmas at my mother’s house today and we have brunch on Christmas Day.

I swear by the Pentel Sign pens - I use them for sketching all the time, and they’re probably my favourite pens out of all time.

I like how you grabbed a primary set of every supply, very pleasing to look at. My fav supply from the video is definitely Ohuhus! Someday I'll get the 320 pack.

If you're looking for a good acrylic marker Molotov/Molotow is my preferred, and they are refillable and match their spray paint colors if you ever want to get into that

Just got my first Strathmore mixed media sketchbook for Christmas! Really looking forward to it!

In oil paints the Winton W&N is a student grade paint, the other one (Artist) is Artist grade. Similarly, in acrylics, the others are student grade variations of the brands and Liquitex is (one of) their artist grade lines. In brushes the sizing doesn't matter, it varies between manufacturers (even lines). It 'should' be the width of the ferrule at the hairy end. 😅 So a "6" anything should be 6 mm wide, but usually isn't if you care to measure.

Ecoline ones actually water colour inks (are made to be used as watercolour)

“If it works it works, if it doesn’t it doesn’t, not my problem” 😂 that is my kind of art motto lol love this vid! ❤

Faber Castell and Carandache have not let me down yet. Midori blank notebooks are fantastic for dry media and light ink use. I also was very disappointed in the Ecoline brush markers only because I enjoyed the bottled liquid watercolor but the markers don’t work the same way even though they are advertised as watercolor markers. A recent find for me are the Derwent Drawing pencils. I can’t explain how they do it but it’s a pencil similar to pastel without the awful sensory overload

Paul Ruben has a wonderful neon set. A new paint you might want to try are Kurataki Gansi Tambi they are Japanese watercolor , you can use opaque like gauche or transparent like traditional watercolor. Awesome color options. Kristin

Yes I love the bic blue ball point pens they’re so smooth

First of all, I too, love the strathmore soft bound mixed media sketchbook. It’s my all time favorite. It’s the perfect size and I swear, there’s just something magical that happens when I use. It stokes my creativity. Also, I too have the Holbein, WN, Arteza and Jelly gouache and I agree with you. Arteza is way better than jelly gouache and tbh I love it but it’s kind of like a watercolor/gouache hybrid. Holbein wins 100%. But for acrylic gouache my favorite is the liquitex. It’s just so beautiful and the mars black in the starter set granulates so beautifully and makes everything feel so moody. Turner is great too. It’s flatter than the liquitex but I haven’t tried Holbein yet. Maybe you can do a comparison video? ❤❤

Uniball signo Air is awesome it’s waterproof 😮

I watch thru all the ads just for you bestie! Get that bag

My paintbrushes I’m not fussy but I do prefer round of square most of the time for sure. My cherry wood ones are probably my tops.

I always picked up mechanical pencils off the ground in high school.. I never bought my own, but I had / have tons still (almost 3 years after graduating) because I did that... those are my favourite pencils to use lol :)

And acrylic paints I’m not fussy and for watercolors I use a self made set and then a neon set I got off of Etsy and the glitter kids set from target 😊

oooh the prismacolor col-erase pencils are super expensive in the UK, I'll have to check out that other brand thanks!! 😍

Ohuhu is so lovely

Can agree on the Ohuhu markers and fineliners and the Prismacolor colored pencils. Definitely my go tos for sure most of the time hands down!!! 😊😊😊

I eat eat eat during the holidays.

🌱For fine liners, the ‘Koh-I-noor Rapidograph pens’ are definitely an investment, but they are refillable and the intended ink is waterproof. I hope this helps. Love the channel, love the energy. Keep it up ♥️

Can you link an affiliate link for the gesso board?

Pointing out that watercolour paper soaks up more ink than marker paper doesn't make your viewers "cowards". If you want your markers to be empty much sooner than they need to be then go for it, but the attitude really stinks. Maybe you should try marker paper, it makes for a much nicer drawing experience because its very smooth and made for marker nibs and ink, and it doesn't suck your markers dry like watercolour paper does. It's odd that you don't know that.
