Hey Mariya, I'm a new subscriber from Louisiana. Arrived via KZbin search results for "travel art pack". Watching studio tour pics & vids used to relax me, but now they tense me up. I prefer checking out backpack art supply setups for minimalism & mobility. I guess camping in various forms the last 15 yrs has deeply affected me to the extent that I feel more comfortable living out of backpacks & duffels than spreading out into a permanent studio room setup. It's more important for me to see and hear nature and be able to quickly and easily change locations and travel. Thanks so much for sharing your art pack contents and arrangements. It's very helpful and inspiring. I'm about to get into sewing out of necessity for repairing things I love too much to replace, and they've served me so well over the years. So I'll have the opportunity to try adding useful and fun features. You've given me fodder for some ideas. My mind is percolating! Blessed be. <3 :-)

@MariyaPrytula4 жыл бұрын
It's a 5x7 backing board in a plastic sleeve. It's portable and unlike a plastic palette can be just wiped clean with a wet cloth and doesn't get stained.

Hi - just found your channel. Very nice work! What scanner do you use, please?
@MariyaPrytula5 жыл бұрын
Hi! Sorry I didn't see your comment till now. I use a Canon 8800 with a glass over the top (allows me to scan large pieces in chunks without lip being in the way), and I use Vuescan as my scanning software. Another scanner I recommend for watercolor is Epson V600.
@cheralynn44175 жыл бұрын
Mariya Prytula Thank you! I knew about the Epson but I will check out the Canon first before deciding 😀
@MariyaPrytula5 жыл бұрын
Usually the Canon will have better color reproduction vs Epson is better at sharpness. Check out if you can get it second hand or refurbished. You can test to make sure it doesn't have scanning errors by scanning black or red piece of paper and looking to see if there are any pixel disturbances.

That's interesting..I find the taklon brushes hold their shape much better than non-synthetics. However, I've never been able to afford kolinski (also being a vegesaur, I won't use them LOL), so maybe I'd be surprised.
@MariyaPrytula6 жыл бұрын
Murf's Mess I am vegetarian as well, but unfortunately taklon doesn't hold water sufficiently for watercolor. It's been a tough decision, but it's a matter of something going into landfill and using a lot of pollutants to be created, like synthetics, or using an animal based product that can replace 50 or more of the other brushes. Once I find a product that can last as long, I will switch over, but so far I haven't seen anything that comes close. Plus keep in mind that for wider brushes, I am already on synthetics. It's the smaller sizes 1 and 0 that remain elusive in terms of longevity and performance.

É muito pacífico. Você fica à deriva com a corrente, mas não é difícil se manter à tona. Os peixes se acostumam com você estando na área rapidamente para que você possa observá-los em um ambiente natural. Eu usei grafite em papel aquarela 100% algodão. Eu estava na água por menos de uma hora e meia Eu não entendi a pergunta. Nós pagamos para ir em uma excursão de snorkeling no Havaí :)

Mariya, it looked to me like you were using a watercolor block-- what did you use to cut the sheets off the block when underwater without ripping them? Or was it just a regular flip-pad?
@MariyaPrytula6 жыл бұрын
Melissa Gay this block worked because it is glued on just two sides. So once I was done, I'd just slide my finger in, peel one of the sides off, and wrap the sheet around the back. And the next sheets were continued to be held in place so I could draw. I did tear one slightly, but it still worked. So if you decide to use Arches or another 100% cotton brand, just free up two sides, and you're good to go. You could experiment with binder clips and rubber bands with regular watercolor sheets against a rigid surface, but I found this to be easy and secure. I wouldn't recommend paper that's not cotton because it would disintegrate in water and surface would get peely.

Katie Croonenberghs you do end up drifting a little bit, but it's not a problem at all since the fish do as well ^_^. Fins really help so you're not wasting energy struggling against the current, and most snorkeling coves are quite sheltered.

@MariyaPrytula6 жыл бұрын
yes. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a synthetic that holds up to detail work. Washes, no problem, and I actually prefer them a bit more because they are a bit stiffer. I would like to use something that doesn't harm animals, but throwing away 20-30 brushes is not good either. Like I said, I've used the same two brushes for two years already, and added a new one for super tiny work just 6 months ago. If you take care of it, it can really last a lifetime.
