I use a paint bucket from dollarama for my rinse water....it has a ribbed slant on one side that helps clean your brush without giving you the option of stabbing downward and it's too deep to leave most brushes in it...but it's not huge or heavy.....

I love my fellow artists because we get each other. I use shop towels too! My husband works at a supply warehouse so we brought some home and the first thing I thought was, these would be perfect for my watercolors ! But my all time favorite is the Viva brand paper towels. Those are like luxury paper towels. Super thick and soft and I can reuse over and over. They are my absolute favorite! I haven't tried Winsor and Newton watercolor paper but I remember your first impression video on it and it made me want to try. I also use blue painters paint and haven't found any issues with ripping paper. As long as you're using 100% cotton i found it doesn't disturb and tare.

The best Kolinsky though,are the Raphael 8408 and 8404 series, as also the DA Vinci Maestro series 35 and 10 and the more affordable Royal Talens Rembrandt series 100, that are as good, as the others I mentioned and some like them even more! Those are the top 3 Kolinsky brushes in the world. Escoda comes next and follows Princeton. Escoda has the best marketing and thus are more edvertised than the Raphael, but professional artists with years in their back, know what I mean. RAphael also makes the best Quills squirel brushes,their 803 have the most professional handle/balance I've ever seen on any brush.Provides incredible control and precision on your strokes.

So enjoyed this review of favourite art materials. Yes, Arches is a very one way try… hard to go back afterwards. I think Schmincke is a fantastic paint brand ( although maybe too expensive in US and Canada, it’s cheaper cousin Sennelier also very good, especially if you enjoy transparency. The Schmincke super granulation, I didn’t think much off until I tried them, and painting natural things, dogs fur etc, it is really fantastic- they do great swatch sets of the range. I love Daniel Smith and have slowly been collecting, project by project or just unusual colours. I totally ‘get’ the large palette, for home use, mine is big too - not quite as mega as yours. Thank you for taking the time to do such a good round up of so many materials. We all love art supplies.

I have purchased some handmade honey watercolors and I have loved them so much.

Being disabled and very low income makes it complicated but I have not given up hope.

Schmincke also does a Naples Yellow Reddish (like you, I saw the colour and went "I need that" - I purchased a printed chart of Schmincke and that was one colour I definitely needed), if that's more accessible to people that is another option for that. Its pigments are PW6 PW4 PR242 PY42 and is opaque, but definitely a good base for a ligher skintone. I love Schmincke because they offer alternatives to traditional heavy metal colours while in most cases also offering the original in case people want the traditional ones; I also love them because they have a bunch of fun granulating colours, though their supergranulating colours are better for convenience mixes in my opinion. I grabbed volcano yellow and volcano red, most others I can mix up when I need them.

You are kinda right about using toothpaste to stop plastic palette beading. The idea is to scrub the surface to add some roughness. So i guess you may have seen someone using toothpaste for that. But just get a pan scrubber, and be done with it already. Or, never buy a plastic mixing palette. I do like an enameled surface. I use cheap creamics, sometimes artist type, sometimes thrift. But my fav is metal enamel dishes and trays. You know the type, white pie dish with the cobalt blue rim. Or, butchers tray. You can get them in all shapes and sizes, better surface than ceramic. But also light and durable to take out. And also magnetic, so i can throw it on a magnetic easel.

I've been collecting my daniel smith tube colors for about 7 years now and I found the best palette ever to hold all the colors. It's the Paul Rubens 24 well Palette with extra mixing trays. It will hold 133 half pans and its air tight. Great for holding lots of colors. I used glue dots to hold the pans in and it works amazingly well compared to a lot of other palettes I've tried.

I know what you mean. W&N seems mighty boring especially compared to something like Daniel Smith that has all of these super unique colours and variations. I’d consider W&N a good staple brand though, they’re pretty classic in terms of paint lines so I think they’d suit a lot of people’s preferences in terms of watercolour properties. Sometimes I find some of the Daniel Smith colours almost too granulating, especially for the subject matter I’m wanting to paint using them so I have to be a bit careful there whereas a lot of the W&N paint is on the lower end of granulation (depending on the colour) so in that case I might prefer using them instead. There really are so many amazing professional watercolour paint lines out there. I’ve found myself looking up different ones and reading about the particular properties and strengths/weaknesses of the paints incase I ever want to broaden my paint horizons.

Great video, thanks!! I recognised a few of my own favourites 😊 but might add a few more: Silver Black Velvet brushes are my favourites (besides the Casaneo quills and Princeton Neptune you mentioned). I prefer Fabriano Artistico paper over Arches, and I recently used Hahnemühle Bamboo Mixed Media paper, which surprisingly handled wet washes very well. I couldn’t say which are my favourite paints - I see myself more as a collector in that particular field 😂 I love Sennelier, Schmincke, Daniel Smith, W&N, but also Lukas 1862, which were my first professional paints many years ago. And I just ordered another brand today which I have never tried before… 🎨 Just one question: It would be great to know which colours you use for skin tones, as I’m just starting to explore that myself.
@studioofmm 2 жыл бұрын
I’ve heard great things about those brushes and I really hope to try them one day! Interesting! I’ve been a fan of other Artistico papers so I’ll have to try that out sometime as well, haha! I actually think I tried to get full sheets of the 300lb Fabriano from my local Curry’s but they only had Arches in stock so I went with that. For skin tones I seem to almost “tint” more neutral colour to fit whatever the tone/lighting situation is and also work at it in a lot of layers, gradually building up the intensity. Of the small little skin tone section of my palette the ones that I use the most are Daniel Smith burnt sienna, burnt umber, Winsor & Newton brown madder and then the Van Gogh in Naples yellow red. I also use D.S. quinacridone sienna, sepia, transparent brown oxide, lunar violet and W&N perylene violet and neutral tint a lot as well. There are of course more intense primary shades that sometimes get mixed in if I really need to swing a colour to be a different tone but those are definitely the ones I’m reaching for the most.
@brigitteitg 2 жыл бұрын
@@studioofmm Ahh, thanks so much for the skin tone info - it’s great to have a starting point! I probably have most of these from various brands, so will start experimenting. I love Naples Yellow Reddish, I’ve got the Lukas version and it’s very nice. W&N Brown Madder is a newer acquisition, I can imagine that it’s good for lips or blush. I really have to start using neutral tint, it’s never really on my mind for shading or toning down brighter colours, although that’s what it should do. Thanks again!
@studioofmm 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, for the most part they’re pretty standard colours and also ones you technically could mix up pretty easily as well if you were working from a more condensed palette. Yes! I love the brown madder for those super pink hues. It’s such a perfect colour for it as it’s not too saturated. Neutral Tint is easily one of my favourite paints. I really love using it instead of black for anything more monochromatic or something that should really be “black and white”. The slight colouring makes it much more interesting looking in my opinion.

Thank you! I got them from a local eyeglass shop but according to the insides they are the Caroline Abram ‘Nyoko’ glasses. They’re a few years old so not sure how readily available the style/colour is anymore. Best of luck finding them!

Check out visionworks if you're in the US. I believe they have something that's either the sane or very close. (I was shopping in there recently!)

Girl, I enjoy your videos so much-just THANK YOU!😂 Only halfway in, and I had to comment-I was debating regarding purchasing the Polina Bright brushes, just wondering if they could possibly be as good as they appear (and my style is evolving to be somewhat similar to hers as time goes on; for a variety of reasons I won’t bore you with) but her longer sweeping brush strokes are not possible to emulate with any of my current brushes, mainly because holding that quantity of water is pretty difficult using the much loved Princeton Velvetouch brushes I’ve used since the beginning. Her brushes seem springy as well as capable of holding decent quantities of water for synthetics. I’m taking this video as a message to order them! On to watch the rest of your video! ✌🏻☺️

I forgot to ask in my last comment... where did you get the pencil grip for your mechanical pencil? :D
@studioofmm Жыл бұрын
They’re these ones: amzn.to/2XXamZ3 Technically they’re made for Apple pencils so they’ll sometimes be a bit loose on certain pens/pencils. I just wrap a bit of masking tape around the pen until it fits on it nicely.

I use 2H, 4H, and 6H pencils mainly for sketching because of sensory problems. It makes me nauseous when the graphite transfers onto my hand or around the page. I assume the blackwing pencil smudges?
@studioofmm 2 жыл бұрын
I’m sure it does smudge a bit but it’s very minimal for the lead darkness. I don’t find myself really resting my hand along the page like I might while drawing with other pencils while using them, so I can’t say I’ve seen much transfer onto the side of the hand and smudging that goes along with that. I believe the 602 pencils are supposed to be about the equivalent of a 2b or so and I’d say at worst it smudges like a durable HB. There is a harder lead blackwing pencil made (I forget if it’s the pearl (white) or brown/wood grain one though) that might be a better choice for you.

I would recommend cotton gloves! I use these all the time and it keeps the smudging off of the hand. They also come longer than just the wrist

It’s so rare to see someone else who has the same lip ring as me! Vertical Labrets aren’t common at all where I am, so seeing a fellow female artist with the same piercing makes me giggle! That said omg this is soooo informative I really needed some of this info 😭

So annoyed with Polina bright.... I purchased by picture what you showed (light brown handles) and I received black ones shaped differently... They did not care. I only wanted the exact pictured ones. So upset.
@studioofmm 2 жыл бұрын
That sucks! I believe someone commented on one of my videos a while back that they’d changed the handle colours, but if they also changed the shape of the brush hairs then that’s awful. I was highly considering buying a second set since I use them so much.

Ah, I see. That still isn’t great news for anyone who likes/was interested in the originals. So strange that they’d change it.

Very nice supplies. It looks like these are your truly special old but trustworthy things. I can't recommend you anything new or different from what you already have. You are set really, unless you want to explore and spend a lot of money on things you don't need.

That’s super expensive on the Arches paper! I get full sheets at Hobby Lobby for less than $7 per sheet and cut it up and it’s great! I just got 3 sheets and it was under $25 with tax
@TrueLoveX1027 Жыл бұрын
The Arches paper Michaela cited the price for was 300lb. That's why it is so much more expensive. :))
