fun tip: try making something with the oil pastels first and brush over it with ecoline/liquid water colors/waterbased ink! ^^ I love this combination very much myself because the liquid will go between all the lines you drew with the oil pastels!

[@DarkModulator]

I am pretty late for this awsome spending spree. I am happy that you have the Albrecht Durer, I have learn to pronounce it because in Greek they phonetical write it on wikipedia. I think that they are the best for the price, with quality paper you can blend them on the wet paper, also you can shave them with an knife to use the shaves as normal watercolor. You can use them as the base layer and then add the pencils, you have boths sets now.

[@karinatechtips6297]

Can you make a video on the jelly gouache?

[@maomaomi5434]

How about using neon paint on black velvet? Or maybe coloring one of those Lisa Frank velvet posters with highlighters?

[@AlphineWolf]

I wanna see you try doing some art pieces with fountain pens

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

Remember that gouache is a water-soluble medium. If you keep the lid tight, they shouldn't dry out too much, but you can re-activate them with water too. Get a little spray bottle and spritz. They're basically a type of watercolor, so they're never really "permanent" unless you seal them. (This is also why a lot of WC artists don't wash their palettes, the paint dried on it can still be used.)

[@Colourinne]

Adding to this, make sure it’s distilled water 😀

[@felinefurkin4275]

@@Colourinne that’s a good point. l haven’t and so far my paints have not grown mold, luckily.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You dodged a bullet not getting the Monte Mart gesso. Liquitex clear gesso is so good for priming surfaces for pencil.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

That’s good to know! I bought the other one too a few weeks later in a local shop and have used it as a base for painting already.

[@awarren06]

i use art basics clear in the jar, its really thick and you can use a small amount so it doesnt buckle the paper ive had really good luck with that brand

[@owllovingapril]

Absolutely dodged a bullet.

[@doodlepoodle5056]

i'm curious, why not to buy mont marte gesso?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

@@doodlepoodle5056 it's fine as a primer and sealer but it's not gritty enough to use under colored pencils or pastels.

[@AliceBakaneko]

you don't have to worry about the jelly gouache drying out, it's like a loved child between acrylic and watercolor, you can reactivate it with water

[@rainshadowgamingart2236]

I'm not the greatest with oil pastels, BUT my tip is from my experience as an artist and a mom. If your tiny artists get into the oil pastels and the walls, desks, tables, etc become the canvas, hair dryer and low set heat tools can be used to warm the pastels and allow them to be wiped off with just a baby wipe once warmed enough. Be careful not to burn yourself or the surface.

[@owllovingapril]

Neocolor 1 is like a typical crayon, where the Neocolor 2 are water soluble. Definitely go for the Neocolor 2. They are versatile enough that they can be used as a standard crayon, as watercolor, and when you sharpen them put the shavings in a palette so you don't waste all that pigment.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I didn’t know this!

[@melsmuse2]

Definitely get Neocolor 2 they’re a must have . I promise you’ll love them!

[@karine-v]

Yep. I looooove my neocolor 2.

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

As someone who actually loves using crayons, should I too try to looking into the Neocolor 2? Are they particularly expensive? I’ve never heard of them before… I’m just using crayola crayons!

[@majesticmythicalsart7563]

I agree neocolor 2 are amazing, love them!

[@rileeb848]

Shane's response to the higher budget at the end was priceless!! Like a little gem for sticking through to the end. So funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Can't wait to see your watercolor video!!

[@ritanyasurenu432]

Mungyo oil pastels are great. Not as expensive as Sennelier but probably one of the best. The flower drawing looking so good!!!

[@bluesonicstreak7317]

Came here to say this, great brand for starting out.

[@nickesha375866]

Totally agree Mungyo oil pastels are really nice. They have a student line and an artist line. I bought the artist line and they are really creamy and inexpensive in my opinion

I love spending money on art supplies vicariously through you lol!! So many things that would tempt me but I know I can't go there, so I'll just continue enjoying your videos. I personally love working with watercolour pencils because you can use them in a variety of ways and make something really lovely with just a set of pencils. I only have a couple of small sets but have always enjoyed them. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with your sets!!

[@Narra0002]

Me too

[@rof8412]

I freaking love the Faber-Castell watercolor pencils. I love that they match the Polychromos so its easy to color match and add pencil layers on top if you want. I haven't tried the Caran D'ache ones but I do have the Neocolors II and will join everyone else saying you should try them.

[@felinefurkin4275]

I love mine and couldn’t get anywhere near as good with cheaper pencils, just weaker pigment, except my 30-year-old Lyra set.

[@thescribblequeen]

If you're interested in oil pastels, Blackbean CMS has a wonderful channel where he works beautifully with the medium. If I remember correctly, he loves the Sennelier, and the Mungyo Gallery (The Gallery line in particular, not the whole brand!) oil pastels, though mostly uses Crayola to be cost effective!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

A few people have suggested Blackbean! I’ll check out his channel!

[@MrsBarnabas]

Hi, Sarah. You certainly did choose the best watercolour pencils! They'll take time to learn about them, but are great fun, and being able to use them both wet and dry is a bonus - though dry, obviously, they aren't the same as regular CD / AD pencils. Where they are they same is that they benefit from layering several layers of colour before wetting. Pressing down to get the intensity leaves marks in the paper which can't be resolved. So in that sense, when using them dry, use them as you would when blending wax / oil based pencil.. One very good tip I recently learned (having used w/c pencils for many years!) is to add two or three drops of glycerin per 100mls to the water you use, and stir well. It acts by making the colour spread beautifully evenly - even Albrecht Durer and Museum work better this way. Please don't take this the wrong way, as this doesn't only apply to you, and isn't meant unkindly. Yes, I enjoyed this fun video, but it doesn't sit well with me to see KZbinrs spend so much. I began to breathe again when you began to evaluate what you were buying. To put it in a personal context, I love to experiment with different mediums, and I've done it all my art-life, and been able to offer informed advice to my students as a result. I've never had a problem with buying to my budget until recently, when I began watching KZbin videos, and suddenly, 'I want' became quite a demon to control., with Amazon being there to go and look, and then click to buy... Also, I read with great concern when I see viewers commenting that they've immediately ordered something they've just seen used for the first time. It would help people like them, and me, enormously if we saw the KZbinrs using the products they've bought over future videos, rather than having bought them for a 'haul' and we never see them again. It's one reason that I voted for you to continue to learn to use the acrylics and to share the process with us, when my preference (you may have guessed) is watercolour and watercolour pencils. I'm really hoping that you will understand what I'm trying to say. I'd rather see the artist use the product and show us about it than the art haul in all its glory. Though again, I admit that I enjoy the fun when you do these crazy things . You've certainly got enough to show us some real working experience with all the new things - including those things you bought with the keys - that is a definite "Oh, I could use those!" issue with me, and I have to remind myself that I'm not currently doing children's clubs, so don't actually need them!

[@MrsBarnabas]

Oops - typos: So in that sense, when using them, use them as you would when blending wax / oil based pencil (ie layer them before wetting them) When blending them dry, again, they work as other coloured pencils. A tortillon (paper stump) will work, but, obviously, not mineral spirits, etc.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I hear you! I absolutely didn’t want to just throw away money at this video. That’s wasteful. I had already wanted to buy both the watercolor sets, and knew they were quite expensive- and so I decided to think about what else I might want to try in upcoming videos. As I mentioned in the video, the second half was planned out (and it was planned before I began, although not in too much detail) so the only “silly” spending would be small amounts. I intend to use all the items I bought, with the exception of a few of the $1-3 items. Everything else was heavily considered about what I could use in future videos. The video is only a few minutes, but my shopping spree actually took a few hours because I’m NOT an impulsive buyer. I always think things through… too much at times! 😂

[@MrsBarnabas]

​@@SarahRenaeClark Thanks for the reply, Sarah. I realised that a lot of thought, time and effort had gone into what seemed like a casual, fun video. It's not only because I know how long it took me to assemble the equipment my 2021 students needed - mostly online, as we only have a very small 'art and craft shop' where I live and Covid ruled out going further afield. It took more than two weeks (with other life stuff in between) to do it, as it was my first course here in France. It's also because I'm aware of the immense time, effort, equipment and expertise is needed for even the most basic video, and deeply appreciate what is offered to us freely here on KZbin, whether it's professional level, such as yours, or (what appears to be but isn't) a very basic video from someone with a very small budget and subscriber list. Maybe when you do the videos, you can refer back to this video with a 'Do you remember' comment? It won't appease those who've already decided to unsubscribe (probably those who have no real idea of the time, effort and cost of making these video!) , but may ease the unease of those of us who have stayed, in spite of misgivings? I've said this kind of thing to others who have made major art hauls, too, so please, be reassured that I'm not singling you out. Incidentally, I knew, as soon as you blanked out the last purchase, what it was! It had to be the Albrecht Durer, as you already had the Polychomos! I really am looking forward to seeing what you do with those two wonderful sets, as well as the tiny keys and the little metal wheel shapes.

[@silverhoney6969]

@@SarahRenaeClark it would an awesome series & lots of content for a while to do a video on every single thing you purchased for this video. I came to your channel today looking for a watercolor pencil video! I can’t wait to see you try them. (Loved the Derwent inktense)

[@connschw]

I use FC Pitt Artist Pens (brush) in my colouring books - they blend quite well. They're waterproof, India ink based pens (markers) and they don't bleed through most paper. They blend much better than Tombow-type markers as the ink seems to not absorb into the paper as quickly. Bonus - they colour-match with all the rest of the FC line. :) Downside - there are only 60 colours. I wish FC would come out with more!

[@anniemonroe9285]

Good to know! I have several of them that I use for brush lettering but I never thought to use them in a coloring book.

[@w.vangaal1077]

I second this! Even in books you don't expect them to work they work and don't bleed trough! They also work great with inktense and on top off polychromos

[@leiwu6089]

I would also recommend the cretacolor watercolor pencils too.

[@JGPshorts]

Don't know if this helps but a great thing to draw as beginner artists in oil pastels is a cake 🍰

[@paranoiarpincess]

I once drew a car for an ex with oil pastels. It was my first time really using them and I was SO proud of the outcome! This was about 20 years ago now and the last time I used them too, so I don't remember much, but I do remember loving how they blended! Many people hate the texture, but I felt it was worth it to get the reflective surfaces to look right. Good luck on your journey.

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I loved the texture, but I can see why people might not

[@ColourwithClaire]

Wow what a haul! Get yourself the Neocolor II if you can Sarah, they're INCREDIBLY pigmented and melt the second you add water! ❤️

[@zannido3125]

@@SarahRenaeClark I was like eeek you bought the wrong version

[@hannahstright7912]

Yes…. But that being said, the Neocolor 1s do still activate with water, they just require a bit more layering. Probably not how they were intended to be used, but I’ve still gotten some pretty cool results

[@clintfrederic4491]

Neocolor I Caran Dáche are fantastic for layering using heat. They are encaustic crayons. They are not the water soluble ones. They work on fabric and fuse to wood nicely. I create underpaintings often then layer clear wax onto them and go in all sorts of directions from there.

[@nightfan1983]

Can't wait to see you putting those supplies to use. I'm looking forward to the watercolor pencils the most (and how they compare to the Inktense ones) and the oil pastels. I think I used oil pastels at some point as a child, at least I seem to remember how it feels to use those just watching you try them out. Also, I have to admit, as a german I did giggle a bit at your attempts to pronounce Albrecht Dürer - but yeah, that name is a handful (or rather mouthful) for those whose first language isn't german ^^

[@tolido20]

I would love to see more watercolor pencil drawings! But if you feel like spending more, consider buying waterbased markers like tombows, you can dilute these too with water (or even scribble on some plasic/glass and pick the pigment up with a watery brush to paint)

[@SarahRenaeClark]

I already have Tombows 😊

[@ghosttq1462]

Oil pastels are fairly fun to use, I usually use a q-tip, paper towel or my finger to blend but I've heard using a blending stump works well too

[@felixhenson9926]

For oil pastels, you can use white spirit/ turpentine on it to basically paint with it!

[@wintersprite]

I ended up getting the water-based Karin markers too, instead of the acrylic ones. I’ve only really used the Cray Pas brand of oil pastels as that’s the brand we used in elementary school art class.

[@zarakhalid3655]

I was surprised you have never used oil pastels before! I'm glad you like them 😊

[@lordofspaghetti5454]

as someone who uses oil pastels I actually tend to use both Faber castell, Sennelier, and Pentel. Both of them have their pros and cons, the Faber castell and Sennelier ones are generally of higher quality and have more pigment and less waxiness, making them much more opaque on base and smooth. The cheaper pentel ones have merit to being more waxy and solid, its better to shave those to a point if you need fine details because their cheaper and hold a point a bit better and they take longer to build up if thats needed, though ive noticed more with the cheaper ones that some colors will act different than each other more so than the more expensive ones. I do have to add, that I have tried the crayola pastels too and they tend to work less well with other brands than the pentel ones and certain pigments can act really weird in the crayola set.

[@jisoonique]

Oil pastels can be used in few different ways. I use them in combination with coloured pencils. You can blend with oil pastel (usually a lighter coloured one or a clear one), folded paper (kitchen roll is good), a blending stump or your finger. Use softer oil pastels for this sort of blending. Sennelier are the softest, but the Paul Rubens are absolutely awesome for blending. I am relearning to blend using PRs, and my right hand. They mostly don't have any light-fastness ratings, so I'll need to do that myself before using them professionally. I used to blend with my fingers. But I realised I was left-handed at blending after a life-changing injury to my shoulder and elbow. Despite being right-handed for drawing. 🤷‍♀️ Now, I use firmer oil pastel (like the faber-castell ones) - and less of it - then use pencils over the top. Like other artists who use chalk pastels with pastel pencils over. For work that I intend to sell, I use Van Gogh (Royal Talens) oil pastels because they have reliable lightfast ratings and list the pigments on the pastel. I generally use polychromos or pablo over the top. I also use luminance/derwent lightfast alongside, either alone or with polychromos or pablo over. Depends on the picture. I may also use the white Paul Rubens over the top, for example to make a sea-spray effect. The white is LF1. 😁 For work that is for fun or will be scanned only, I can also use cray-pas expressionists, the faber-castell ones you have and pentel as my base layer. I use a whole range of pencils over the top including the less-lightfast polychromos, pablo and lyra, and my black widows. I am beginning to use the Paul Rubens for this too. If I'm using them with other oil pastels, I will use the harder/firmer ones underneath and the softer ones on top. The nicest oil pastels I have are definitely my Paul Rubens because they blend together so well. 😁 To fix the oil pastel, I use MTN acrylic matt varnish spray. It works really well - far better than any of the oil pastel fixatives, which all leave the surface tacky. The MTN forms a layer over the top of the oil pastel, sealing it in. This is the same as the glassine does, or the glass in a picture frame. Oil pastel never truly dries. This covering layer stops dust/hair/etc from sticking to the oil pastel layer, and stops crumbs of oil pastel from falling off the picture onto your surfaces. If you have any questions, please ask - I'll try to help! [I can talk about my specialist subject for HOURS if necessary! 😁]

[@Kazooples]

I got Paul Rubens pastels and a black sketchbook recently and it’s such a good combination, some aren’t very opaque but the deeper colours you get mix so well with white that it doesn’t matter.

This is such a random comment but I LOVE that you actually use the company sponsoring your video in the video they sponsor! So many youtubers simply just mention them then make a video completely unrelated and it kind of confuses me. You were the first person I'm subscribed to to use Squarespace in a video that actually showed how Squarespace works, and that was so cool! And then you did it again with Honey (Which I have been using for five years at this point but still it was appreciated).

You could try dissolving the oil pastel off the tip of the marker with some alcohol based solvent (such as metho or even gamsol )on a piece of cotton and wiping the marker tip until it is clean. I can’t promise it will work 100%, but it might, so you still end up with a usable marker rather than a definitely ruined one.

best to use both your brands of pastels on a piece. get some nice textures and layers.

[@maellebardet1351]

For oils pastel, you can blend them using either your finger (good contrôle)but you can also use Therebentine , white spirit or other oil (each have their personnality, more free, but be aware of fume, or you can get high). Différent brands will have different texture, sennelier is really creamy, but expensive for example. You can layer, like oils paint, less oily crayons below and work your way until the creamiest. I really enjoy them ! Love from France

YOU CAN BLEND OIL PASTELS WHITH YOUR FINGER

[@SmillyDonut]

Oil pastel brands (with lightfastness ratings): Sennelier or Caran d'ache. Both will cost you but are great quality. Caran d'ache is mostly opaque overall while the Senneliers have opaque and transparent pastels, but are the smoothest oil pastels you can buy and best used for a painterly effect or as a top layer over harder pastels. The Van Gogh line is a set of firmer oil pastels great for details and underlayers, as well as being more affordable than the previous too. (Without lightfastness ratings) Mungyo Gallery has the best quality for the price and is comparable to Caran d'ache in softness. Meanwhile the Paul Rubens are soft and have mixed reviews as well as being inconsistent in quality across colours - possibly due to pigment differences. Tip: you can use your coloured pencils for details with your oil pastels. Experiment with different papers for the oil pastels to see what you like best. Some people like sanded papers, for example.

[@Keiyato]

You can reactivate the jelly gouache with water. I spray mine down well and leave it covered for some time and come back and stir it up. Works just like day one.

I have a lot of trouble NOT spending $1000 on art supplies!

[@lisabyers6417]

You will love the Karin markers. I have the whole set and they are my favorites. You can use with a little water and a paint brush as well.

[@elizaluizezile]

Loved the video! The only issue with this video is that it wasn't me unpacking the supplies

[@shadowguard3578]

🤣🤣🤣

[@hey_virginia]

Watercolor pencils!! Would love to see you try them out, I also have a new set that I have only tried once or twice and I really love your approach to experimenting with new art supplies

[@selahr.]

Yes please do watercolor pencil tutorial. And maybe tear out the gesso on coloring book pages for use with them as well.

[@meerabellenbaum6092]

So exciting to see you getting into the jelly gouache and the watercolor pencils and all the other stuff!

[@gwynethglas-brown9171]

Wauw the water colour set from Fab- carstel are Beautiful. Love to see a video over both sets I did water colour books years ago ( got a gift set with prints. Was alot of fun ) 😜 That Drawing with Flowers was stunning 😍 Have a lovley weekend 🥰

[@BeautifulColorsYoutube]

I absolutely love your videos I hope to get to where you are one day when I have more time. and I wold love to see videos on all these things watching you be creative is so much fun to watch especially when you color in books ☺️😊

[@August8_bpday333]

This is so fun to watch 🍿I really like your oil pastels 💟

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Such an epic haul!! It's so exciting just watching you open and play with these supplies. I am super intrigued by oil pastels so I'd love to see a video more on those in the future. Also a note on the Caran D'ache neocolors, I believe there are two types - Neocolor I's, which are permanent, and Neocolor II's, which are watersoluable. It looks like you've got the permanent ones. I'm really excited to see how you get on with them, and also how they compare to the oil pastels since they are wax based.

More pastel videos 👍 Lovely collection of art Supplies. ❤️

[@5starorchid]

I actually liked this video more than your others. Interested to see how you use your supplies altogether in a project.

[@wanderingheart1]

Love this concept for the video and also to see the range of items. I love the little keys so much! I’m a total magpie and love little shiny things like that. And they are so tactilely satisfying. Great video!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

Same!

[@MidnightHedgehog365]

Omg you got the Faber castell watercolor pencils. I LOVE my Faber castells as someone who is pretty hopeless with traditional watercoloring (I'm an acrylic palette knife painter for a reason 😅). Fun tip. Try the water based markers with the colored pencil!

[@exclusivegiada609]

You could also make like a art piece that’s like a factory 3D that would be cool

[@ninaanns7226]

Wow, that’s lots of xmas’s lol. Wish I had an ounce of your talent, the way u just draw something. Love the watercolour pencils and the gold effect, that really finished it off 💕

[@karendepauw7287]

I love the idea of the mixed media piece at the end. I'm always so unsure where to start with a mixed piece.

[@marshalepage5330]

The Albrecht Durer water color pencils are the first set I've owned because I bought one pencil in each brand and that one is by far the best. JUST COLOR without water and they are still the best.

[@cozmicbucci]

Just a recommendation, with the crayon pens you got you should melt and make art with the wax on one of the mini canvas!

[@SarahRenaeClark]

For a moment I thought you were talking about the Neocolors! 😳 But maybe that could be fun with that terrible kids crayon 😂

[@cozmicbucci]

Yeah lol

[@maxwell_design_studios]

Really want to see you use the faber castell watercolor pencils and the oil pastels!! Of course I really want to see you use watercolors as well! Sennelier has really nice paints as does white nights which are really good for being quite inexpensive

[@zoewilliams8038]

I love this, it's good seeing interesting art supplies that I didn't even know existed.

[@FrIoSrHy]

I'd like to see the watercolour pencils in a future video as I was eyeing some the other day

[@NamsMArt-tl3hh]

Please try every product. I love art supply haul videos. Can't wait already 😁 do back to back videos some days like daily for 5 or 7 days please.

[@andrewmandywilsontatham49]

Oh what fun you have had! I can see alot of forward planning went into the buying order. I agree with the Mungyo people, I have their watercolour crayons, they are great. Mungyo generally have good reviews, and would be a great starting point to get into pastels, watercolour crayons etc, without spending huge money. Otherwise enjoy your haul. I can see alot of interesting stuff coming soon with the ideas generated by the stuff you got!
