INSTRUCTIONS that came with Sta-Wet : 1-SOAK - just one piece- of the white paper sheets in HOT TAP WATER. (I fill up my clean sink about 1-2 inches of hot water to do this) OR put piece of white paper in a microwave safe bowl & microwave 3-5min or until water boils. 2- YELLOW SPONGE is to be SOAKED in cold water & wring out 1/2 of the water of sponge. 3- Place the SPONGE in first, smooth side up, then your paper. Use a paper towel to wipe off excess water. If it’s the 1st time using sponge- rinse it thoroughly under RUNNING water. DARK COLORS sometime bleed so FYI CLEAN UP- simply rinse out the sponge, you can do the same with the paper. Doesn’t have to be perfect! Especially if you’re using good quality paints. ❤

As I was standing literally 1 hour ago in front of the store shelf and tried to guess, which white I need, I ended up buying neither, but now I know that I should probably head back and buy Titanium white. Thank you so much for your video and it couldn't come on more right time. :D

Should I scrape the paint that dried off then soak it I only used it once so far. But paint is drying so I can scrape off paint and reuse the same side of paper or flip paper

Is there not a sharpener in the top section? There is on my 2mm pencils.

Mine didn’t come with directions and I couldn’t figure out why I payed 20$ for it! Then I discovered you have to add water but I didn’t know how so thank you thank you thank you so much!!!

I keep breaking my leads. Still😢

It's good for architecture but for drawing it's bad and sandpaper is much better because we need a built shape

Thanks so much! I am brand new at this. I bought a couple pair of these from Blick and I couldn’t figure out why they didn’t snap together like yours do. It turns out they come in different sizes. Now Blick has a selection and I bought a few. Thanks for all of your pointers.

beautiful resource thank you!

Thank you for this! My limited palette for starting a painting has two blues- Golden ultramarine and pthalo (green shade). I wanted to try the red shade but after seeing your video, I think that the green shade looks snappier and more of contrast to ultramarine, so I think I'll stick with the green shade.

Hello 👋🏼. Thanks for this review! Have you tried using disposable pallets with watercolour since uploading this video? Does it stain? Can I just wipe it clean and use the paper again?

Loved the video you shot before landing, very dense mountains in Peru.

It was really cool to see the view from the plane and see the neatly arranged houses below. and I can see fields of beautiful yellow Canola flowers greeting from England

One of my Dream Fruit Tree 😍🤗🌿☀️

How long do these last

I was searching for advice on cleaning this paint because I read that it's not supposed to go down the drain 😬

Hi

very nice video thank you, although i did find the part were you show the chart a little confusing. reading the color graduations from left to right i'm not sure how you got to the five yellow ochre to start with, and then is it a 80% lemon yellow/20% yellow ochre and then a 50%lemon yellow /50% yellow ochre so in the mixing order your doing left to right?

👍

Similar but oxide is much darker golden brown with more yellow when white mixed with white= better to tinge a white for a sun

It can be used like a mono eraser when off?

Thank you. Samed me a lot of money 😭😂. For my eyes they’re basically the same

So no conclusion ? Which yellow is performing better ?

it looks so beautiful!!!

Thank you so much for this comparison it’s exactly what I’ve been looking through many youtube videos for!! I have just one question… how easy is blending oil-based inks to create custom colors? You spoke of watercolor so I’m assuming you have some painting experience and can provide some insight as to color mixing

Used those two colors with water color paints. Only difference was the white came from the color of the watercolor paper and not paint. Thanks for the video.

Thank you for your videos. It helps a lot!

I find it only works on my Staedtler 2mm lead holder but it creates such a great point.

Many years ago in my college color theory class, we used Mars Black when mixing with colors. I haven’t used it in years (probably should), but have been using the Carbon Black when I want a very deep black. The only problem is that it dries to a very matte finish which requires several coats of varnish on the finished painting.

Thanks for the explanation❤

I don't understand the shades

Plum wine is nice

I got one in college for the arch program and I’m guessing I must have used it at least a few times. But I have kept my supplies with me since I graduated and just pulled it out because I vaguely recalled it was for sharpening but totally forgot what specifically it sharpened! Thanks for reminding me - I just need to go dig out those pencils I know I have in my supplies box. Good thing I also kept my regular standard sharpener that comes with a lot of charcoal pencil sets. One piece of advice: It would have been a nice finish at the end of the video to just draw a line with each of the pencils to show how the sharpness changes the line qualities. You had the clean paper right there and the pencils in your had with the tips almost touching the paper- I was totally expecting that to happen and left a bit anxious with no resolution. Haha. But great video - you have such a naturally clear soothing voice and well explained without unnecessary wordiness (your words were efficient and you said what needed to be said with fewer but wisely chosen words that most people seem to.

Nice lucky tree.

I have a BAILE 2m and I can't sharpen it with this. It always breaks. No grinding noise, quite, does it not work with other pencil types?

Thank you!

The review was really helpful. Thank you!

WOW...!!!! Beautiful

Fantastic work ❤❤🌹🌹 very nice shairing 👍👍❤❤

I've been using relief ink on a linoleum pad...I have rinsed it with water before but noticed the material starting to swell so I put it under a cinder block after I washed/rinsed and that seemed to help prevent the layers from separating......do you have any insight to this concern? Thanx!

This was so helpful thanks. I recently tried out lino printing for the first time and used speedball and I was so disappointed with the very patchy rough-textured prints. I'm sure some of it is skill, but I now think that some of it was the ink. I put so much time and effort into the design and carving the block; for me it is worth it to spend a bit more money to hopefully get a better print.

Thank you, you helped me with my project, really you made a great video.

Best video on how to use thank you. I live in high desert and my paints dry out so fast . Do you have hard time seeing the colors your mixing with previous stained colors underneath? Also is that how you clean the pallette paper? The way you prep the pallette paper? Just clarify. Thank you

Thank you… very helpful ❤

Thank you so much for this awesome video!!

I couldn't figure out what the two holes did. It was driving me nuts.

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial

Minimum. Tillage

Thank you for the comparison. It was very helpful to me. Now I know I‘ll pick Cad yellow deep for sure.

I was a bit surprised when you said if you paint on both sides , acrylic with acrylic will stick together! Is that right? I bought this for acrylic practice mainly.
