ART HAUL - Temu art unboxing August 2023

[@ricurtis1948]

The blue paper on the watercolour block, is just the protective cover sheet.....take it off, then you'll see the actual watercolour paper. Baohong is BRILLIANT paper....

[@wumblebumblebee]

Phew! Thank you for the info! Thats not something you get on unblocked pads... Im pretty excited to try them as it will be both my first proper block (had a cheap one where the glue let go of the paper on the first watercolour wash) AND my first cotton paper 🎉

The blue page on the Baohong watercolor block is the protective cover sheet.

[@kathygus]

I like that your sketchbook has wc paper on the covers! Cool!

[@wumblebumblebee]

Thanks Kathy 🙏 And its been great to use too!

[@Beautifulmadre]

New Sub Thanks for sharing.

[@Aeronwen813]

Blue paper looks like a protective sheet to me. Where it says OPEN on the actual pad cover there should be an ungummed section.Carefully insert a smooth palette knife into this ungummed slot and gently slide it around the gummed edge to remove the top sheet. Hopefully, all the other pages will be natural white as stated. All gummed watercolour paper pads have this slit opening for removing pages.

The large brush is for Chinese paintings and writing with ink. (calligraphy style). I have the same little square watercolour book. I got mine from Mazon and it was a lot more expensive. Your haul looked great. Tfs.

[@wumblebumblebee]

I did see a couple of videos about the large brush over the last week and it does seem to be only used for east Asian calligraphy... I bought it wondering if it might work for loose LARGE watercolours (A3 or even A2 size) but I dont have the paper for this yet so I will have to test that one a little later... I am looking forward to the little flower pad for my next plein air pad... Got a few oages left innthe current pad but I might do a tester video first, see how it holds my paints 🤔

[@wumblebumblebee]

Thank you for watching and sharing your knowledge on the HUGE brush 🖌️

[@2pause2]

hi I think that is a cover sheet on your block and I hope you show us when you try these supplies out tells how you feel about them Thanks

[@wumblebumblebee]

You are absolutely right! I did a quick swatch video with one of the pads last week (video is up on my channel) and tomorrow will be a hyperlapse painting on the Baohong larger pad! Thank you so muchbfor watching AND sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@panumbramcdonald176]

In in the UK and only have to spend £10 to get free delivery

[@tamionchwari7550]

if you unscrew the barrel, there is a an eraser in there on the eternal pencil or whatever it is called...lol

[@wumblebumblebee]

I played with it and discovered the erasor, such a great idea to have in your pocket for quick sketches on the go! Thabk you for your comment 🙏

[@tamionchwari7550]

the Baohung paper, I think the first blue page is just a protective page and not the watercolor paper

[@wumblebumblebee]

Thank you Tamion, I feel a little silly as I have since discovered this - thanks for trying to help a poor artist who never used cotton paper before 🙏

[@amiejakubiec6691]

The coloured sheets on block are protective cover sheets

[@wumblebumblebee]

Aaaah thank you for that info 🙏 im quite excited to try the cotton paper! Ive only used wood pulp before!!! And I was perturbed that the paper might not be white - so glad its just me showing my watercolour block 'noob' status

[@amiejakubiec6691]

I absolutely love my cotton paper it takes a little getting used to as it reacts differently than wood pulp paper but it’s amazing have fun ! @@wumblebumblebee

[@wumblebumblebee]

Thinking of doing a test video for next week, maybe a bit of swatching with my normal paints to see what differences i see 🤔 ive used wood pulp forever so im very interested in the differences and reactions

[@surilon1]

the block with the wide strip in front is student grade. green covers are cold pressed and brown covers are hot pressed. i believe orange cover is rough

[@wumblebumblebee]

Wow! So much knowledge... Thank you for sharing and letting the viewers and I know! And if that little orange oad with a stripe is student grade i MUST try the professional one! It is wonderful! And he green is cold press with an excellent irregular texture!

[@ricurtis1948]

I'm not having to pay any carriage here in Lincoln, UK.....I've had 3 Temu deliveries over the past couple of months....each one less than £ 20.....but free delivery every time. Can't find anything on my account telling me I have to spend a certain amount to get free delivery.

[@wumblebumblebee]

Oh wow! Thats interesting! My first order got a 'free delivery' offer and since then it has said 'spend another ... for free delivery' and its always been £25... I wonder if you are close to the UK hub or something 🤔 (PS in case the accent didnt give it away Im in Yorkshire, England)

[@ricurtis1948]

I think th UK hub is in Birmingham, so I'm not anywhere near there. I'm originally from Sheffield , so I knew you were a Yorkshire lass !!@@wumblebumblebee

[@wumblebumblebee]

Hmmm its very strange! I will keep an eye out on my next order, the last 2 made me have £25 minimum amount 🤔 Trying to be good for a little while though, as you can see Ive spent enough the last 2 months 😬 Glad that I come across as a Sheffield girl #yorkshirelass

[@sueallen952]

​@@wumblebumblebeesame im in wales, done a few for £10 no postage

[@wumblebumblebee]

I just had a little look and I have a free shipping offer for the next 6 hours... Do I buy something seeing as its cheaper and FREE?!? Let me know ... QUICK !!!

[@debbiewhitley8612]

I only have to spend 10 pound . I queried it to Temu because my friend only had only to spend 10 pound . I do t pay for postage . I live I. Yorkshire !!!

[@MissMarilynDarling]

That brush isnt even the biggest one I've seen this one guy made a brush the size of a large mop and they use it for doing bill board size Chinese Calligraphy which I am not familiar with but I may have to make a tutorial for after I learn a bit more chinese I know the sign for love and mens bathroom but thats about it lol :) That paper block is definitely blue wtf Maybe its just the top layer ?...I'd be curious if that pencil is erasable ? !

[@wumblebumblebee]

Oooooh some new watercolours Marilyn! Exciting! I hope you'll make a swatch video for us 🤞 My other lovely viewers have advised that the coloured sheet is just a protective sheet so Im excited to try again now! Not sure I would want to make a detailed landscape watercolour with a mop sized brush! I bet your arns get SUPER tired!!!

[@BudgetwithBeck]

Rubbing alcohol will get that off your pad, I think.
