That Oceans watercolor book looks so cute! Sorry I'm a couple days late, but thanks for the fun coloring suggestions!

[@ColoringKaria]

Isn’t it though? It’s a great way to learn watercolor skills. I was really not that good or a fan of wet on wet but I’m learning to be more ok with it and to use it more. :)

[@EveBolt]

I'm all about those Schmincke palettes, they are so pretty and well-made! :D

[@ColoringKaria]

Eve Bolt - Art & Cats yes they are!!!

[@MayBrox]

Love to see these videos. Not as much for gifts to others, but to add to my wish list :D Thank you so much Karia :D

[@scruffy281]

I got my CD Aquarelles for 196 with a coupon and I bought 2 sets at the same time ( I always buy a back up) and I am soooo glad I did. I can't how much they have gone up now. They are great pencils , the best IMO, but wow they are so expensive now. What a bunch of great ideas for gifts. Thanks so much for all the ideas! Merry Christmas!❤️

[@ColoringKaria]

Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions!

[@kristyphillips547]

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! I am so tempted by the Schmincke dot card. I've never used Sennellier watercolors before, but they look amazing! Great video :)

[@ColoringKaria]

Thank you so much!

[@gabrielleprettyman6528]

So informative thank you for sharing and wonderfully presented,Merry Christmas too X happy painting!

Thank you so much!

[@TesGon]

Great video. You wont even believe why I'm watching it....

[@ColoringKaria]

Oh now I want to know why! Or would it scare me? LOL

[@TesGon]

@@ColoringKaria Ahha no its nothing bad ...I guess. These wooden boxes are perfect Display cases for various things if you know how to work on them. So Im mostly looking on the boxes. But I like to draw anyway so its a win win situation.

[@ColoringKaria]

Ah! That makes sense! I love wooden boxes myself and have a whole playlist on all my different ones I have collected?

[@TesGon]

@@ColoringKaria Yes, I'm slowly watching them all. They are perfect)

[@mariusvaiciulis5072]

damn! just went to see how much that schmincke box costs, and "accidentaly" pushed "buy now" button. well, happy christmas to me i guess :)

[@ColoringKaria]

LOL! You won’t regret it!

[@miaomiaochan]

I've also "accidentally" bought a lot of art supply sets recently.

[@scruffy281]

ooops!!😂😂😂

[@garzapinups]

I love the way you pronounced ‘shminky’ haha 💕 I believe it’s pronounced “sh-mink-ay.”

[@ColoringKaria]

LOL true. I’ll try it that way and see how it goes.

[@suettheartistickamillion9996]

@@ColoringKaria i could be wrong but the pointy tool is pronounced "all". i think lol

[@cynthiaslater7445]

Good ideas for those who don't know what to get the artists in their lives. Happy holidays!

[@katherinebordier6195]

Love your video. Saw some great things for myself : ) I saw this video where someone bought one of those cheap kids art supply boxes (By us art supply I think) that only costs $40.00 and come in a wooden box with a drawer underneath, and she emptied all the cheap supplies out of it, added some colored pencil trays and made the most beautiful wood box for colored pencils.

[@ColoringKaria]

Oh nice! That’s something I will totally try. And yes treat yourself!

[@diasmall]

I love both of Dana Fox books, I squeeled with delight when I saw her ocean book! I wont buy a 3rd unless it steps it up in difficulty though.

[@ColoringKaria]

I agree but I think the issue is the paper. Lifting and such on this paper would be a mess. So I’m not sure where she would go.

[@miaomiaochan]

The Karlbox from Faber Castell is around $3k, and in my opinion, that is the most obscene, outrageous art supply product available (with the possible exception of the Louis Vuitton colored pencil set).

[@ColoringKaria]

Hello! Yes that Karl Box is crazy. It would not be so bad if it included complete sets of everything like the anniversary box did. The reviews of the LV colored pencil set don’t really get it. What they do is travel and cases and sometimes bags. Most likely the pencils themselves as caran d ache supracolor but it’s really about the case. I have Louis Vuitton key case I got 10 years ago for $165. I’m quite forgetful and was losing my keys every few weeks. In the end I needed a way to stop losing my keys so I got it and I haven’t lost my keys since because if the price. But they will repair anything that they make. I got my key case repaired once for free. All told in terms of replacement keys and locksmith services it cost much less. Granted a pencil case isn’t going to save money like that. But I think it’s meant to be more about the case than the pencils. But the wood boxes I have already really like that. They really are about the pencils/paints who just happen to be in a nice case. I think the LV case which I don’t own because that’s $1000 I can use to get a ton of wood boxes. Or pay rent! LOL. But I have seen it in person and the case is really special. I would personally have rather they had used museum aquarelle pencils or Polychromos but faber Castell has a similar case for like $400+ 😱😬🙊

[@arcuda2001]

i was laughing when you said " if you're feeling frisky" about ceramic palette lolol only another artist would find that funny or frisky lololol

[@ColoringKaria]

🤣😅🤣😂 I didn’t even notice I said that till you mentioned it! LOL

[@arcuda2001]

ColoringKaria was so funny to me :-))) by the way , i live in ny, too ..:-)) wishing you and your wife a wonderful holiday season .. cheers !! by the way i am NORAKAG on instagram if you ever felt like checking my work out .. take care :-)))

[@ColoringKaria]

Aww thank you! You too! And you have a new follow!

[@arcuda2001]

ColoringKaria thanks so much !!

[@MamaTomasu]

love hearing your gift guide suggestions. for the book binding, there's a product on Amazon or eBay by We R Memory Keepers called their Book Binding Guide. It has a really nice prepunched board and all the tools included for about $20-30. (There's tutorials/reviews on KZbin so you can see what I'm talking about :P)

[@ColoringKaria]

That’s a great idea. I’ll add that to the description!

[@purplestarkatz]

I'm making sketchbook binding way too complicated for myself hahaha. I've been making mine hardcover, covered in fabric. One even has a ribbon and elastic. It's no wonder I'm only on my third 😂😅 also I'm laughing that blick's url is inappropriate. I suppose my senator, Senator Durbin, is inappropriate for KZbin for the same reason lol.

[@ColoringKaria]

LOL! I know! I was HEATED when my first video was demonetized over that! I was like? Really? It’s annoying. Tinyurl fixes it. But it’s annoying AF! Wow girl! That’s awesome! I’m too lazy for all that. Yeah I’m making them faster than I can use them. I thought about what to do for the color but I decided to just splash some paint on the cover and hope it’s pretty! LOL.

[@cynthiaslater7445]

Question: on your Schmincke swatch card, did you add a finish or does the paint dry that glossy?

[@ColoringKaria]

No finish added. The paint dries like that!

[@magdao.9612]

@@ColoringKaria I think Cynthia meant the swatch cars in the box set at the end of the video - it evidently looks like it's glossed over, very differently from the Schminke dot card shown earlier.

[@ColoringKaria]

Magda O. OHHHH! Silly me! Yes my swatch cards a laminated with packing tape. They won’t last as many decades that way. But I’ll likely change the order before yellowing or whatever is an issue :)

[@cynthiaslater7445]

@@ColoringKaria Thanks for the clarification.

[@sachamw11]

I’m dying to get the schmincke box, but I can’t afford it.

[@niteycat]

I can’t. I can’t. It hurts. Art supply overload. Lol
