When I was a kid, we had the original Spirograph. The larger outer circles were heals in place by these tiny pins. They didn’t hold very well, and you’d find yourself going along at great speed, creating this marvelous piece of art, only to have it ruined by one of the pins coming loose and screwing it all up. No, it is not a relaxing activity. 😁❤️ That was a great eye! I love that more art supply companies are acknowledging that human beings have a wide variety of skin tones,

Those creams look... interesting. I can see how different saturations of the brush and layering could make some interesting blends. I kinda want to try them out on a wet canvas with a variety of dry brushes and see how that goes. I loved my spirograph, my brother had an offbrand like you. both worked equally well/badly depending on your patience, though both of ours worked by having the paper and outer wheel fixed in place together (to a frame/board), allowing us to use both hands for wheel and pen. This meant less slipping for the inner wheels.

Loved the video Faber Castel has something similar to the watercolour creams called Gelatos They come in diffrent sets and are much more pigmented You can also put some on a pallet and use it as regular watercolour They are great for bible journaling and you can use them on very thin paper and does not bleed through You must just look up some techniques,they are actually really great

@silkeschumann7261 3 жыл бұрын

These are water-soluble oil pastels and many maker art manufacturer have them in their port folio, like Ranger, Marabu, Caran D'Ache, Stabilo, ... they come with and without the plastic casings, one even cme in a wooden casing (Stabilo woodies) almost like watercolor pencils but with a more crayon consistency. Since I live in Europe I am more familiar with European brands and have more of them than the American brands in my stache.

There are lots of brands that have things like these watercolor creams: Faber Castel Gelattos, King Art Gel Sticks, Marabu art crayons, stabilo woodys, etc. Of the Gelatos, Gel Sticks, and Art Crayons, the art crayons are my favorite for level of pigmentation. Gel Sticks are very similar and seem to have a wider variety of color options over the Art Crayons.

Hello! Great video, just a quick tip. When you wear one of those disposable masks, they have a little wire around your nose. You can press the area by your nose for a more comfortable feel, and it helps it stay better. I don't really know how to describe it except for just press the area around your nose. Some people don't like it, just wanted to let you know just in case.

I haven't been in a Target since my last shift in early February (🥳) but I would constantly look at those watercolor creams, and then walk away because of the price. I thought, if they ever went on clearance I might try them. Thanks for showing me I saved some money! Also, I grew up with Spirograph. Until it melted and warped because I stored it in the back window of the car when we moved from NY to AZ. I have a new full set that I haven't messed with in a while. I'll have to get a little creative with it again.

I thought the Spirograph worked out well, the pink and the last one with the different shapes and colours. I had one as a kid, it was a kinda square blue thing with the toothed circle on one side, came with some different shapes. The lipstick crayons are just like Faber Castell’s Gelatos, someone else already commented that too. The yellowy green really stood out, some of the colours are quite pretty. I find less water helps things like that dissolve properly, also thicker paper. The eye looks so cool, I love the unusual colour you have it, the bright yellow and bluey eyeball.

I love watercolor crayons like that, I have a large collection of gelatos by Fabre Castell and they are the same thing accept they have more professional quality pigments and are archival. They are a very versatile medium. You can mix them with things like modeling paste for awesome textures and effects with stencils and stuff. I also get a kick out of the fact that it feels like you are making art with makeup lol.

Spirograph can be challenging and take some practice. I find it easiest to use some of that khaki that's used to hang up posters that kind of feels like Silly Putty. I stick that to the paper while I do the spirograph and that makes it a lot easier. Also when you do the spirograph you want to do the motion like your drawing a circle but don't try to Over Control the pen. I hope that makes sense lol
