ABOUT ME: My name is Carolina. I’m originally from Brazil, but I live in Dublin, Ireland.
I’ve always thought of sharing some of my happy discoveries and art here on KZbin, and recently finally decided to give it a try.
My channel is new and small, but I’m happy to have you here and so I can keep sharing and growing with this wonderful community of artists and art enthusiasts.
My academic background is in literature, but I’ve always been passionate about creating art and art supplies. My favourite art supplies are watercolours, but I also use ink, gouache and coloured pencils on occasion.
This channel is all about sharing new and exciting art supplies, where to get them and what to do with them. I will also be sharing some of my art and techniques.

This was most enjoyable and useful. I had not seen you before but am happy to start following you. My husband is from Ireland but we live now in Denver, CO.

[@coloredcarol8074]

Oh thank you! I really appreciate it ☺️

[@luneleaart]

Beautiful collection, the watercolour and nature journaling books look gorgeous and I have never seen them before, thank you for sharing ✨

[@coloredcarol8074]

You’re welcome, I’m glad you liked it ☺️

This was a great video full of inspiration and great choices with several that were new to me. I love that you took the time to show more than a page or two. I've been so disappointed in books that are recommended time and time again it's like I can't help myself or something. 😂 Me seeing lovely art +books = falling in love=my kryptonite! 😂 But, seriously thank you for doing a quick flip through so we have a better understanding of what's really inside and whether it's the right fit for us or not. I'm sure the authors also appreciate not getting returns and low review ratings. And my wallet, bookcase, and hubby definitely thank you and those like you! 😂

[@coloredcarol8074]

Thank you for your lovely comment, I totally understand it. I also have a weak spot for books, but for lack of space sometimes I settle for ebook versions 😉

[@lilymoonart]

[@coloredcarol8074]

Me too! It’s so inspiring to be surrounded by them isn’t it?

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I love the Nature Drawing & Journaling and Zine books! I think I'm going to order the Color Meditation Deck - a great idea and very inspiring for warm-up exercises.

[@coloredcarol8074]

Yes, I found it very liberating to just follow the prompts and not get over my head in making choices. It’s truly a meditation exercise 🙂

[@mandysmith6264]

Thank you for the awesome selection. Will definitely purchase the nature journalling and creative gouache books.

[@coloredcarol8074]

[@susananielsen8911]

It would have been so great if you had shown more of the cards instead of just filming your moving hands😂

[@coloredcarol8074]

The deck you mean? I didn’t show them in detail because I already have a video here where I review them, but yeah I use my hands a lot when I speak 🤷🏻‍♀️
