Love the idea of stickers for the cases.

I slice off a chunk and put it in a half pan. A tiny slice fits perfectly in the smallest metal pan that fits in the Art Tool Kit pocket palette. I store the sticks in DS stick case. It’s hard to find near me. I’m not coordinated enough to hold them in my hand, I end up dropping them and making a mess. Using them in a pan is fine for me.

fantastic video, such wonderful ideas ❤❤❤

Love this video, thanks so much. I’ve been wondering how professional artists use the paint sticks, so this is a great series of insights. 😊

I make mine with my own oil paint, I got 8 sticks in chap stick containers. It worked out well.

I am a beginner at 83 and love the sticks / easy to increase density of colour

[@user-zi8qi9ip2g]

47:42 looking forward to testing these. I love the Daniel Smith line since it is made in USA!

Do all sticks look the same size? I ordered from blick and I already had an indanthrone and a couple of other colors in sticks and I ordered a few more and they look different in thickness. Buff titanium looks like my old ones but teal and green gold look very thick. Is it normal to see varying thickness?

I'm having some trouble understanding the colors in his set. I got the Cobalt Blue and Lamp Black, but that's it. Can you help?

[@irenehynes7536]

Excellent idea! Where to buy these? (I have purchased a similar product, but they only had a small selection of colours.)

[@cynthiacooke9785]

Where do I get plastic cases in Canada?

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Are those oil sticks or watercolor (pastel)

Please fix the red in moonglow and stop it being fugitive

Why did you stop offering free sample for cards? If your paint is a good as you say it is you should be more than happy to earn customers with free dot samples. How do you expect to get w & n customers? I won't buy a sample but i would change brands because of a few sample. Instead of giving thousands of $ away to youtubers why not give for cards to people whom actually buy and use products?

[@phillipstroll7385]

Seeing professional artists promoting free product does NOT inspire me to buy product. I would have bought a full set had I received a small free sample upon request. But watching youtubers and professionals promote things they get for free does nothing for me. All I think is infomercial for crap that won't exist in a year. If they lived them so much why did you need to give it to them for free? If they live then do much why weren't they already using them and paying for the sticks themselves?
