@@alemlaimchen3222 are you from uchss

Vous êtes les bienvenus. Merci aussi d'avoir regardé ma vidéo.

Wow! You're so kind! Thanks for making my day with your beautiful comment. It's words like yours that encourage me to keep going even if being a content creator is a tough and often thankless job. Thanks for visiting this tiny channel.

Aaaw... I'm so thrilled you watched. Thanks for the encouragement :)

You're welcome. Thanks too for watching.

I've learned many lessons from using Dorlands repeatedly. I now apply it with just my fingers and dab lightly. It works wonders.

You're so hilarious! You just made my day :) The longevity of the prints depends on the type of paper and the inks your printer uses. It's best that they're of archival quality. I know my local art store uses good quality canvas prints that are meant to stay crisp and clear for a long time ... though I'm not sure of how many years they can last before fading happens.

Sorry I was, asking. I'm new to all this. I've just done art for fun or for school. I'm exiting my old career and was hoping to jump into art and supporting my self with it. I know some artist do prints, for affordability and to make more money by selling the same piece as prints several times than just selling it one time. Good video, though it broke my heart that Prismacolor, who people have sworn by, wasn't as professional as their made out to be. Thanks for the info on the prints.

@@mysketchbook3402 No need to be sorry. You can ask me anything and I'll be happy to share with you what I know. I have a lot of product reviews and tutorials in my channel to help you figure things out. I have a primer that teaches also the basics of what paper to use. It's great that you're venturing out to try something new and potentially satisfying. Art for me is therapeutic. And selling prints, maybe as greeting cards or postcards, is a great way to earn side money too. I've done those and people like it since it's a less expensive way of obtaining my paintings. So go ahead and give it a try. Good luck and have fun!

@@GingerUmali Thank you

@@mysketchbook3402 You're most welcome!

I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for visiting my channel. Really appreciate it!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Ellen.

Thank you so much for watching, Robbie! Really appreciate you dropping into my channel.

Thank you so much 😀 I'm so thrilled you visited my channel, Lynne! How sweet of you.

Thanks for watching, Beth. I appreciate your nice words too.😊

I'm so glad you watched! Thank you. I agree with you. I also thought initially that I'll love Moleskine more because it seemed to me like every artist I know uses it. But now, I have a lot more Strathmore sketchbooks at home. I find that I grab it more often than any other sketchbook I have, including Canson and Stillman & Birn, and other lesser known brands.

You are so welcome, Mara. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it 😊

Oh wow! Thanks. I'm glad this review was helpful. I agree with you. I also couldn't figure out how to use those blending sticks. They just left scratchy marks on my work. I didn't like them at all. I found that blending with white was better for me in most cases.

You're so sweet! Thank you for your encouragement. Truth is, I'm getting really discouraged that's why I haven't posted much in YT. You don't know how much of a heart boost you've given me because of your comment. Thank you. I'll try to pick myself up and get into the swing of things again. I hope to prep up the paints again and create something that will bring others joy.

Aaaaw.... what a sweet thing to say! Thank you. I'm self-taught. I never really took any formal lessons but I've been painting for more than 40 years, more out of passion than anything else. Creative arts seem to run strongly in my family, whether in photography, graphics, singing, interior design, or musical instruments.

Oh ... and yes ... I'm a commissioned painter and sometimes do mural-sized paintings too. I'm currently into illustrating children's books.

Glad you like them! Thank you for visiting my channel. Really appreciate it :)

The premise for the comparison was stated at the very start of the video at time stamp 0:40 to 0:49

Oh how cool! You're the first ever comment I've received who's background is in the actual archiving of art. I'm so thrilled and giddy happy to hear that ... haha ... Thanks for watching. It might help to listen to this too (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn65n42irKhnopI). I talk more deeply about lightfastness in this video. 😊

Glad you enjoyed it, Dianne!

Thanks too for watching, Leanne. I'm glad the video was helpful.

I'm glad you enjoyed this. That music is titled Inspiring Orchestra by Rafael Krux. The link to their free music downloads is in my description box.

Oh how sweet of you! Thank you so much for the prayers! I appreciate that a lot. It's taken a while for me to kickstart my channel again after a long break. There's just a lot going on for me right now. So thanks for the support. I'm glad you enjoyed this piece.

Hi NerdRedzu. I'm afraid I couldn't find the Renoir anywhere. It's out of stock in Amazon UK, US, and Canada. They only have the Marco Chroma, which based on the blogs I read, is the better set compared to Renoir and Raffine. Not sure how true those claims are, but I'm open to trying the Chroma and maybe compare it with Castle Arts, which other subscribers have been asking me to review as well. I don't get freebies from these companies, so I need to raise funds to buy the sets first. What do you think? Would you be interested in a Chroma review?

Aaaw... I'm so glad you watched. Thanks for your nice words too!
