Speaking of the test of time, I have colored pencil portraits I did of my calico and tortie cats made from a staedtler watercolor pencil set I received as a Christmas present as a teen but never wetted, just used as a colored pencil and hung on my walls framed which now lasted over 20 years and still look beautiful. I have seen ink fade very often but cannot recall faded colored pencils. 30 years after gifted watercolor pencils and I just started to actually use them playing with a project I am working on with water and love them.

What a fabulous list, especially for those of us that aren't artists but want to gift art supplies!

You’ve truly shone-congratulations!

Fantastic thank you for sharing. Can I ask would Lemmon yellow work for this too? It’s probably the only cool yellow I have and my local shop doesn’t supply pale hue cadmium

This is honestly the MOST informative and complete video I have seen over the past several weeks of searching for EXACTLY how to start painting. Most videos seem to start AFTER a few steps have been completed and leave out a lot of information. This makes me feel more confident in begin my journey. Both of my grandfather's and a few other family members were painters, so I feel I may have some inborn talent. Hope it helps! 😅

great compilation - big like 👍👍👍

prismacolor started with issues with the"re color pencil since moving to mexico

The paint is not meant to be mixed with water, its a misunderstanding. The water is only meant to clean the bruches.

I have both prismacolor and the polychromos ( don’t have the funds to get the Luminace lol ) and I must say I prefer the polychromos. I can’t really explain it more than it just feels better. I think I prefer firmer pencils. I don’t have the full set of polychromos, but I do hope I get it for my birthday or Christmas next month ❤

Thank you for sharing this informative video ❤

Very good video! Another thing to consider is that oil paints are pellicular which means that the oil will coat the pigment particles and will form a water repellent barrier. Normal acrylics are cementitious and without anything else being added to them or put over them will form a rather porous paint film as compared to oils and will be far more welcoming to the drying oils of oil paints than dried oils will be welcoming to the water in wet acrylics. That's my theory and my experience at any rate. I agree that mixing oils and acrylics is not a good idea. It can be done because I have managed to do it but I haven't got 50 or 60 to 100 years to test out the dried film. And under normal circumstances it is hard for normal oils and acrylics to mix. Water mixable oils and acrylics would mix a lot easier but once again testing of the paint film to be sure of what you have would actually take a long time. But the main reason I don't do it is I see no reason for it. Oils on top of acrylics, as you pointed out, have a lot of advantages. At any rate, I wish the best for you and I'm going to watch a lot more of your videos.

so i can do it without solvent right?

It's beautiful ❤ So aesthetic.. and the expressions so perfect 💕 Keep uploading.. Have a nice weekend !

I have no idea how to use colored pencils, but one guy I have with prismacolor is that they are too waxy they are a pain in the butt to layer especially over marker they look so goddamn waxy maybe I’m doing something wrong. I have no idea how to even use them

This is a very well done video. Thank you. I bought a Masterson palette about a year ago and it's almost impossible to get the lid off, so I've never used it. Was hoping to find someone else who had the same problem and found the solution, but it sounds like the lid on yours works fine.

Thank you! Does this only work for watercolors? I’m sorry if that’s dumb. Stunning work as always ❤

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hay necesidad de hablar mal de la marca prismacolor????

so beautiful👍👍👍

I've seen just a drop of water be enough to thin out the paint.

Rembrandt or finetec , I love Rembrandt but finetec is just as good and more affordable, love your video , thank u 🙏🏻

Thank you for this. It's exactly what I needed. You have a new subscriber !

long time no see you...your portrait painting is getting better...i love it 🥰🥰🥰👍👍

My top is 1- Caran d’Ache luminance. As smooth as premiers, vibrant, very blendable and you can do layer over layer over layer over layer and never get over saturated 2-Prismacolor premier. Butterly smooth easy and fast to apply, very blendable but four layers and you get saturated 3-Faber Castell polychromos. Vibrant but very hard over all; to blend and to apply. Takes longer to finish and very tiring for the pressure that has to be applied.

AWESOME WORK DONE BY YOU!!!!!!!🤗🤗😍✌👍

I found you clip rather frustrating as you do not give any quantities or ratios of paint to, or medium to paint.

thanks for sharing how about following fat over lean on traditional oil without solvent?

It is NOT called TOXIC Free Gel. It is SOLVENT FREE. Read the data safety sheet.

Thank you so much for answering a often wondered questioned❤️

Thank you so much. You answered many questions for me. I’m moving from watercolours back to my favorite drawing. I ordered Polychromos and wasn’t certain about some older wax pencils that I have. Thanks a bunch!

Wow!!❤❤🥰🤩😍

Wow 😍😍

Thank you so much for making this video. It has helped and saved me money when choosing an artists tape

Hi! maybe you can help me? Do you think it would be ok to mix Gamblin solvent free fluid with bleached linseed oil? I find the Gamblin fluid very thick.

the "skin" tone is beige. All those colors are "skin" tone or do you think darker people have paper for skin? LOL

I would highly reccomend all three.i have them and they make a superset. Where one falls short the other takes up the slack.

hello how it smell compared to standard refined linseed oil?

Awesome art work.

Beautiful teal colors here. They are so tranquil. They remind me of one in Deep Waters 🖤 and rising to the surface out of the unknown and into a New Day Of Possibilities. 🌟

now i have a drum thanks!

I'm so happy I found this video. I recently bought these pencils. I just wish they add the names of the colors on each pencil.

Thank you for sharing❤

Good morning my friend nice work😂

I have old Prismacolors pencils from the 90s and early 2000s they were fantastic. I was disappointed with a set I bought 2024 they break way too easily.

Why they still exist (toxic colors)? Isn't any safer alternative?
