[@maryannknox7158]

Thank You 🙏 for sharing your purchases from your trip to London I seriously enjoyed this video and I appreciated your input on the art supplies you choose

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

Thank you very much! I am glad to hear that you enjoyed the video and I appreciate your feedback

[@Ddalgiichigo]

I love the moleskine watercolour paper 🤣

[@art-alchemy]

Elizaveta, you bought so many nice art items I had not seen before. I love the 1980s paints. We have Gansai paints but not in themes. So nice for you to buy your replacements and treats for you.

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

thank you very much!! Have you tried gansai paints? If yes, do you like them? It's funny because I still haven't tried mine hahaha I want to swatch them on camera too:)

[@art-alchemy]

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt I have tried them..I have a medium set. I also have other Japanese style paints I like,, you should try Boku-undo it is very interesting paint with semi-e ink. Its very cheap to buy from Amazon. I don't know where you are located but Artemiranda is located in Spain and they have quality art things too. Shipping is super fast. I use them and I live in the US. Watercolors there are cheaper in open stock. Also if you are open I would like to do an art swatch. Let me know if you are interested. P.S. What is the name of your favorite sketchbook the big blue one you have not the ones you bought. Maria

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

@@art-alchemy thank you for the advice! I'll make sure to check them out! and yes, I'm always up for an art swatch! the sketchbook is stillman and birn :)

I just got the 100 Caran Dache pencils. I tried not to and started off with a set of twelve. I had already used several of them up so knew I loved them and just went for it. I think you will understand now😂

Beautiful supplies- thank you for sharing. Do you notice any difference in performance with the black wing pencils? I’ve alwAys wanted to try them but I’ve only seen them sold in box sets. The pumpkin card is beautiful. I buy my mom cards from Paula skene- they are so worth it!

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

oh yes! The card is amazing!! I think I saw a lot of different cards in different places from this card maker - is this a popular brand? About Blackwing - the main difference is that they are very smooth and soft. If you buy their softest pencil for example (matte), it can go from very light to extremely dark very easily - which means that you can easily achieve different values with just one pencil. It's easy to control it too. The matte pencil is what artists and illustrators who do graphite sketches usually prefer. I also love their extra firm pencil for doing sketches for watercolour. It's a bit firmer but still very soft and smooth. I know they sell an introductory set on their website where you get 1 pencil of each core - so you can try all of them and make up your mind.

I also buy things i don't use but i do want to use the 😂

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

oh well... life of an artist 😂

[@stephendevlin97]

Hi Elizaveta, who makes the pouch for your coloured pencils?

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

Hi! To be honest it’s just a random simple pencil pouch that I bought in my local art store - it doesn’t even have a brand it seems

[@softandcosy]

what colours did you use for 3:46? it's such a striking combo

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

cadmium orange and ultramarine blue

[@softandcosy]

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt thank you!

[@ellendeman8417]

You should open the bag at the bottom. That way you can cut out the birdsticker for your diary.

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

Yes! Good idea! Next time I’ll try it:)

[@przemekkulesza3242]

Hmm, French Ultramarine from QOR must be a new thing and I cannot even find it on Jacksons website. Can you please let me know where you found it?

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

You're right... this is very strange. I couldn't find it on the QoR website either. I bought it at Jackson's art in Fulham, London :) For a moment I started thinking that I got crazy and it wasn't ultramarine that I bought haha but then I checked and yes, it is in fact French ultramarine. Maybe they discontinued it...

[@przemekkulesza3242]

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt or this is something so new. On QoR website they are missing e.g. their Mars Yellow Deep too while it is on sale. So a bit of mess with QoR :-)

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

@@przemekkulesza3242 oh, interesting! I didn't know that. Then yes, maybe it's something new. Would be very exciting if QoR decided to release new colours, wouldn't it!!

[@elsagrace3893]

There are only so many pigments so far to make colors from.

[@art_files]

Great video! Can make flip-through books video (sketchbooks by RA), please?

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

Of course! Will try to come up with a video about these books!

[@oladyhemp]

Your video makes me want to buy some stuff even though I don’t need anything. :) And it would be great if you could record the video about those artists sketchbooks that you bought. ❤

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

haha I know what you mean! Every time I watch someone else's art hauls I always have a strong desire to buy something even though I don't really need anything. About the sketchbooks, you mean the books I mentioned by the Royal Academy?

[@oladyhemp]

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt yes, with the printed sketches of the watercolor artists.

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

@@oladyhemp sure! will do!

[@huskytail]

I would have never been able to cut through the bird. I would have opened the package from another side with scissors and fussy-cut the bird to keep that beauty intact 😈

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

I knoooow! I tried, trust me!:( It didn't work out... When I was unpacking this one, I actually turned off the camera for a moment to see if I'd be able to do that and when I realised that it's pretty much impossible, I decided to just cut through it haha

[@huskytail]

@@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt I see. They are committing a crime against beauty 😁

[@ElizavetaSmirnovaArt]

@@huskytail hahah when untouched it looks amazing though! I wish everyone would put so much care into packing orders and purchases.

[@AnthonyGeorge-w2t]

May I have some ,please.?

[@AnthonyGeorge-w2t]

A lot of my art supply was self made.
