🌿 Art Supplies from London ☆ Handmade Watercolors

[@PearFleur]

As I mentioned in the video - I am a total amateur when it comes to paint-making. Any handmade paint experts out there - I would really appreciate any tips you might have to share! I also left a great article in the description box that talks in-depth about the type of binder and pigments shown in this video. I found it while this video was uploading so unfortunately, could not talk about it in the video but please take a look if you're more interested in the pigments! As always, please leave any suggestions or video requests below. I would love to know what you would like to see more of!

[@carolinaarias1669]

like you yourself said in the video you need a "humectant" in your paint, glicerine, honey, corn syrup work for this pourpose, if you only have the binder, the paint is gonna be really hard to rewet, secondly, you are mulling your paint a bit too fast you can know this because there where a lot of bubbles, now, bubbles are /bad/ but they will remain in there while the paint dries, so you will find them again when rewetting your paint. so just fo a slower when mulling and you also dont need to apply any force, just let the muller glide on the glass slab :)

[@PearFleur]

@@carolinaarias1669 Wow, so many great tips thank you so much! The insight about the air bubbles is really great to know - I was wondering why that was happening. thank you!

[@mushroomrisotto2556]

Can you do a video showcasing your watercolor palette collection in the future? Love your video as always 💕

[@princessmanitari4993]

I personally am a beginner too, but i would recommend testing your batches, as you can QUICKLY get a too big batch. So make sure to have enough pans! Furthermore, if you ever use earth pigments you'll need clove oil, because that's what make sure your pigment will not mold! I personally use glycerine & honey in my paint. (:

[@pottartstudio6331]

Wow...Such a sophisticated art supplies!! As I'm a huge fan of art supplies, I want to get them all!

[@ArtstryCraftstry]

Ya same🤩✨✨

[@Fleta_Maughner]

Gotta catch 'em all

[@mc_zju]

Me too. But it isn’t possible to get all of them

[@NightShiftReads]

ChoosingKeeping is such a prestigious brand! Even their children art line is great quality (and serves as a more affordable option for me). I'm glad they recognize how talented you are! This video was great

[@eleanorlyonsdavies]

i actually went to the store after your video on them! I wander around the covent garden area often so im surprised I never ran into it. I chatted to the floor assistants whilst i was there and they told me alot of people have come in and bought from the store due to your video on them.

[@PearFleur]

Oh, that is so sweet to hear! I’m so glad you were able to go in person :-)

[@tunamayhoe]

I must admit I was one of them, I also wondered why I never found out about the store before.

[@nereti1303]

@@tunamayhoe It's not been there that long - a couple of years? There was an amazing bead shop on that site for many years. I'm a little sad that's no longer there.

[@torat388]

@@nereti1303 yes, going to that bead shop was the highlight of the London trip when I went as a kid and teen 🤩

[@artbyjenfin]

I really appreciate companies who use eco-friendly packaging instead of the bubble wraps. Big points.

日本の画材が外国でも愛されているなんて、驚きました。 美しい動画で、多くの外国人に日本画を広めてくれたこと、感謝します💖

[@RadishTheFool]

Oh my, they are lavishing their gifts on you! And each one is wrapped so lovingly as well. How wonderful to be treated to these amazing and special art supplies. I'm very happy for you, and thank you for sharing.

[@kaitekiart7666]

私は日本画を大学で学び、今は時間がたっぷり取れる時に制作をしています。素晴らしいビデオで海外の方に絵の具を紹介してくれてありがとう😊 I studied Japanese painting at university and now I'm working when I have a lot of time. Thank you for introducing Japanese painting items to peaple all over the world with a wonderful video.

[@saritaschwedes8393]

i think we are finding that we need to support small businesses whether they are old or new businesses.. the paints look gorgeous. thank you 🌸

[@flannerycinnamonh2858]

A month ago I was inspired by artists who make their own watercolors and wanted to make my own too but I didn’t want to buy pigments & binder. So I just crumbled a tiny bit of my graphite pencil into dust and mixed it with honey on two pieces of scotch tape. I also used a random metal stick as a mower. As a result I got almost a half pan of really good water-soluble graphite:)

[@princessmanitari4993]

Awhh that's amazing!

[@recoveringsoul755]

I love how lovingly that company prepares and packages your order! It's just so charming I hope they never change that.

[@mellowenglishgal]

Simply stunning. Choosing Keeping make an art of shopping - everything is so carefully thought out and exquisitely presented: it's a truly a treat even to watch you unbox these supplies, let alone have them myself!

[@harmansaini5375]

Can we take a moment to admit that.... how aesthetics this video is..

[@KirsiJulkuArt]

I love everything from the wrapping paper to the supplies!

[@aliceaandrea]

I gotta say, I absolutely loved this video! Made me feel so relaxed. I’m so glad it showed up on my recommenced as I already watch these flatlay aesthetic videos. The whole unboxing of supplies and paint making process was so lovely and calming to watch!

[@atelieradela]

The pigments are really lovely. Making paints by hand is a good way of learning how the different pigments react when testing out different recipes. I look at is an advance watercolor study. Just remember to use protection when making paints, I would also advise using a maks when working with pigments. I don't know how many pigments still are toxic, but breathing in fine dust could potentially lead to some health issues.

[@PearFleur]

Yes! A big mistake I made in this video was not wearing gloves, but I was wearing a mask behind the camera - thanks for your tip!

[@princessmanitari4993]

Paints like cadmium are VERY toxic! But i do ask, what mask do you use?

I am DROOLING over the aesthetics here. When you unwrapped the journals I literally went “YES” lol

[@heavenscapesartbyzee]

They say that buying art supplies and making art are two separate hobbies. It is so true, at least in my case. Pigments you just bought and papers they were wrapped in are gorgeous! 💗💗💗

[@amandasmith5660]

Thank you for the video! So beautiful and relaxing, I will make sure to purchase my next watercolour supplies from here! Your appreciation for the craft behind these is lovely .

This video came out at the right time! I've also been watching a lot of paint making videos the past few days, so last night while I was browsing the Choosing Keeping website I was somewhat delighted to see that they also sell pigments. Their selection of fountain pens is also beautiful, I'd love to buy from them one day when I have the money 😅

What a wonderful art supply haul! From the traditional nihonga artist videos I've watched, they mix the ground mineral pigments with nikawa and water in a small palette dish by hand. No muller needed! I wonder if our own body temp/oils add something to the finished paint!
