Thank you for your posts. I’ve been a watercolor artist for many decades. Love you your simplification in previous post on watercolor essentials in a format my youngest teenage daughter will understand. Kudos to you! I buy her the best paper already and the other supplies as she becomes more confident learning the magic of watercolors. I try to teach her but, I think she’s a bit intimidated in my presence. She does have a keen eye, talent and a grasp of understanding value studies in her sketches. Hoping she’ll inherit my entire studio someday, lol

What a cutie! I love the lost edge along his back. It's really effective. BTW, I love that you explain everything as you go. Even though I've been painting for numerous years now, you remind me of techniques I've forgotten about. I jump between numerous media, so I often forget the unique qualities of watercolour.

Wondering how you made out with your set of travel brushes?? I have 2 sets of Fuumuui travel brushes - they ended up being far superior to the very expensive brands I own!! - go figure lol I bought the 1st on a lark, figuring not much $ lost, if they weren’t any good Great surprise, they were awesome (Different set than what you have) Great brushes for insane price - gotta love those kind of surprises 😂❤
@RobinMakesStuff23 күн бұрын
They worked well for what I needed - small, compact brush set with various brush head options. Super surprised, as well, for the very small investment. I would buy them again! Thanks for watching 🎉

Hahaha! The DaVinci Eye App is awesome!! You just need a cell phone and the app. They suggest you rest your phone on a glass of water (without the water). But I use a little tripod. I think I’ll make a video that goes into detail about how I set up and use the app is a good idea. Several people had questions about my set up. Thanks for watching!! I appreciate the support!
@CathyPowellGlassАй бұрын
We have both Arches and Canson papers (and many more). I'm definitely an Arches gal, but my husband prefers Canson. We have very different styles and preferred techniques, so our paper choice reflects this. He likes smoother hot pressed papers for line and wash. I like cold pressed and rough textures for granulation and dry brush details. We are happy to use either though and adjust our techniques accordingly. It's a lot of fun to experiment and get happy accidents. 😊 I prefer cellulose paper when en plein air as it dries faster and I'm impatient. 😂
@RobinMakesStuffАй бұрын
This is such great insight!! When I tried this I could definitely see how there would be specific uses or preferences for both types! Thanks so much for sharing and watching 😊

How did you hold the phone while using the DaVinci app? I ve tried using it on a tall glass, and it gets in the way. I have a gooseneck holder, and it’s difficult too! What am I doing wrong?
@RobinMakesStuffАй бұрын
Hey Sally! That’s a great question. I may have to do a video that shows my set up! I have also tried a gooseneck and those are definitely difficult! The app suggests a glass, which I’ve never understood. I have found that using my selfie stick/tripod works the best! Here is a link to the one I use! amzn.to/4fZUFnb. I hope that helps! If you have more questions, holler! Thanks for watching!

Oh, awesome! Thanks for chiming in and letting me know. I would have had no idea! Is it safe to say that most "Americans" might pronounce it with the "es"? That's the only way I have ever heard it pronounced. I LOVE this input! Thanks for watching!
@CathyPowellGlassАй бұрын
@RobinMakesStuff I would write Arches phonetically as 'arsh'. Yes, it is French with a silent s, but most Americans seem to say arches so either pronunciation is common and understood.

Daniel Smith is a Seattle based company. They used to have an art supply store attached to their warehouse in South Seattle. It closed, which is a bummer. There's a lack of good art supply stores in south sound (I'm on Fox Island).

When I noticed on the box/packaging that they were made in Seattle but I ordered from Jerry's in NC, I got a kick out of that... since I'm just north of Seattle. It's cool to hear a little of the history, though! Thanks for sharing!!

Go back into the water compartment it actually has three points to hang or bladder or something else There are two toggle hangers in there Also the shove it section has jay hooks that you can undo and it exspans way out to hold a blanket,hoody,your chair or what ever Both sides of the pack has pass throughs for longer items and one side has a keeper Also look at the molly on each side there is more velcro to ad patches As well as near the grab handle

I didn’t see TWO toggle hangers. I’ll have to check on that. But yes! There are soooo many things this back pack can do. I definitely tried to keep it short and sweet like a highlights video.

Tip for your molle webbing . When attaching pouches weave your pals straps in and out of the molle its makes a difference on securing and stiffness
@warlantactical5 ай бұрын
People that do not like molle are limiting them self from adaptability. Pals allow you to live out of the matrix . Most people say oh its to tactical well yeah its functional is the way to be in life . For me i do not like vertx packs because there over priced for no reason mystery ranch has that cringe zipper design People don’t understand the products they buy they just want to jump on someones band wagon because of their account size . This packs zipper design allows to leave the tops of to retrieve gear on the ready Only feature is would of added to this pack would be a small pocket on bottom with an attached rain cover .
