All My Favorite Watercolor Supplies!

[@patriciacreighton518]

A Holbein that you turned me on to that I use, now even more than Paynes Grey is Neutral Tint. I am 72, retired, and started watercolor 4 years ago. KZbin trained. Yours was the first tutorial I watched, so you are responsible for all of this 🤣

[@christianbond1561]

I could listen to your lessons, information all day! You’re so generous and genuine with how you present- and a heck of a great artist- thank you!

[@dreamalamb4259]

Thank you, E. You and Diane Antone are my lifeline to beginner watercolorist. ❤ Diane mentions you too 😊

That Holbein Cobalt Blue got squeezed within an inch of it's life LOL!

[@roxannerosecrans1348]

Lots of great info Ellen 👍 i really want to get a block of paper. Interesting too. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I learned a lot . 24:37

[@swalker1348]

Thanks! I use a lot of holbein as well. Great to see all your “go to” supplies. I was anxious to see the pallet you mentioned that you would show at the end though….😁

[@ralphherrick596]

Thanks for sharing this info

[@ellencrimitrent]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@ChantelleArts]

oooh that's a lot of princeton brushes! I only have 2 but they're so good 😍

[@ellencrimitrent]

Yes they are!

[@cindylong2782]

Really glad to see this. It helps a lot. I am trying to get started with watercolor. I am a complete beginner who watches a lot, but never gets to it! 😬

[@TerriKash-NEO]

So good and informative. Love product recommendations from my favorite YT artists. Thank you. Also you can make a watercolor block easily with acrylic medium. Just clip edges of a pad with clips and slather sides with medium gel. Leave the opening like on a purchased block. And I am totally with you on being a carry-on girl. Haven't checked a bag in years. I like Creative Mark brushes, the Mimik 12 and the Polar Flow 14. I never buy brushes that use animal hair because welll animals... and I'm not a pro who would need a brush that expensive. 😂

[@amandastratton8242]

Thank you Ellen for your information I have taken note and will get busy purchasing those supplies that I have missing x

[@lindakuck5981]

[@momma2cavalierssf]

I’m so glad I found you!!!

[@melindaavila498]

This is so comprehensive! Thank you. I will save this for future reference 😊

[@cindyb8792]

Love this video. I recently traveled and found I took way too many supplies. I took note and will reduce the number of items to lighten my carryon load as well.

[@belindawest3558]

I love the Princeton 40/50 series too. 25.00 for 4 brushes on Amazon

[@ellencrimitrent]

Awesome 😎

[@joykelempert9135]

BIG THANKS!!!!!

[@nereida116]

Thank you so much!

[@BA-qh7jg]

Thank you. Very helpful.

[@MaryTAllor]

My Tumatra we book was great until the binding fell apart at the end of my trip!

[@daninemilligan4689]

If you told Arches you would like the other shape and size sketchbook, they would probably make it!

[@ellencrimitrent]

I think you mean Etchr - I am not sure about that! 😂

[@knackability7098]

Thank you for sharing , nice video. Question…. Since Prussian blue is considered fugitive (fades in light recovers in darkness), do you have a suggestion of a color to replace that one in the three colors?

[@stephenwelham]

How about a James gurney style easel

[@tribalstyle138]

I had an issue buying an aqua elite where my local art store- they insisted it was a short round-- it was.... but with a long striper center. They didnt differentiate in there system between long/ short brush hairs and handle. So there was no way for me to buy a short short. Gah!

[@denisec3131]

Thank you for all your posts! I'm new to watercoloring: my 2024 retirement challenge!! 😊 I decided to do birthday cards for all my friends. Each card forces me to try a different technique and the subject is something dear / meaningful to the recipient. So, very challenging and not letting me perfect any one technique yet! But I'm loving the challenge! Is there a "block" of paper that is card size? I'm currently using prefolded watercolor paper that has envelopes. I think I'd like to switch to a block for better control of the paper, better quality paper, and buy envelopes separately. Do you have any recommendations?

[@margetan9934]

Thank you for the information regarding your watercolour supplies. Holbein watercolours are not available in Sweden, (but can be bought via Amazon at a rather high price). Do you have any comparison between Holbein and Winsor&Newton (which is my standard artist watercolour brand)?

[@Mirrigold]

Can you purchase via Jackson's Art in the UK and ship to Sweden? They sell Holbein Watercolors.

[@margetan9934]

@@Mirrigold I do not know, I have never checken if that is possible, but I will check. Thanks

[@tribalstyle138]

aux contraire mon fraire- there is a superior type of paper towel- VIVA are the bestest! IMO. I love them. Oh question. How long does that masking fluid last you (like how many years is it good). I heard they go bad fast. Thanks!

[@karenrouth2056]

I hope you mention white and gold pens 😂😂

[@ellencrimitrent]

I show the pens I don’t use a particular brand I bought them in NYC at the Japanese book store so you can’t find them that I know of but many art stores carry gold and white pens.

[@karenrouth2056]

Yup! I saw that, thank you! I’ve bought so many on Amazon and none seem to be reliable… it’s the only option in rural southern Italy!

[@newood707]

​@ellencrimitrent what is the name of the NYC Japanese bookstore?

[@ralphherrick596]

Toothpaste works likes glue sticks also

[@ellencrimitrent]

Good to know!!
