It's nice to see someone with a realistic budget. I wish I could buy everything but can't so it's relatible to stick to a list.

[@pawshire]

Yes! It's also not so enjoyable for me to have supplies that I don't use so it's definitely helpful to make a list based on your needs ^^

[@crafteariee]

What a lovely vlog! I just happened to place an order for a small batch of Holbein watercolor paints I'm buying secondhand from another artist who has them so I could try them out when I go travel to visit my hometown later this month. So this is what a fellow painter meant when they mentioned that good quality art supplies are affordable over there in Japan; it's good to know that you prepared ahead of time so that when you enter the shop you can get what you need and stick to your budget hehe. Thank you so much for sharing this day with us! Seeing you paint outdoors makes me look forward to likewise doing the same too. 😊 Had no idea that Holbein's hometown is in Osaka so I'll let my friend who migrated and settled over there know in case they wanna check out this shop one of these days too. Hope you're having a good day! 🌻

[@pawshire]

Happy you enjoyed the video! ❤️ I was genuinely surprised with the prices of the art supplies in Japan, considering a tube of Holbein Acryla Gouache or Turner cost between 7 to 15€ in Europe (if I can find one).

[@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33]

I wanted so many Holbein products. I wish we had that store here in UK. Good idea with sample papers with paintings on to see how the paper behaves. Love your painting too.

[@pawshire]

Thank you! 😸 The samples were quite helpful, indeed!

[@f.f6319]

I love your videos! Keep posting 🎉❤

[@pawshire]

Yeaah

[@alanaUK]

I really enjoyed the whole process,the whole video, you using the new quality paints and brush! It was so fun and inspiring. The time went so fast! That’s a really good sign and I am looking forward to see more ❤

[@pawshire]

I'm so happy you enjoyed! Thank you for your support ❤️🌹

[@staceydevlin7101]

I loved shopping with you (via the internet) in Osaka!! As you were moving through the stores I was saying, “Oooo look at that, oh go back, oh left, what was that?”😂🤣

[@pawshire]

More are coming soon 🤭 Hope you will enjoy too!

[@ArttuTheCat]

Japan 🇯🇵 looks so pawsome 🐾😺👍, i would definitely like to meow visiting that country 😺👍. Also, you are an amazing artist 🖋️🖊️✏️🖍️ 😺👍. Meowing greetings from Vantaa, Finland 🇫🇮.

[@pawshire]

Pawsome, that's so cute 😂😸

[@genestone4951]

I had not heard of this brand. I mostly use Daniel Smith. Googling around I see that Holbein is available at a shop here in Bangkok, so I plan to try it. Thanks so much!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so good, enjoyed till the very end ☺☺☺

[@pawshire]

Ooh thank you so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@kookaburra24]

I’m going to Osaka in a few weeks - can’t wait to walk in your footsteps. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@pawshire]

Oh yes! Please share your experience after, I would definitely love to hear about it 😊

[@il9001]

J'aime beaucoup Holbein aussi, c'est vraiment une bonne marque 😊! Tes illustrations sont très jolies ❤! Au cours, de la vidéo, je voulais poster un commentaire en te demandant si tu connaissais le japonais mais j'ai eu ma reponse quelques minutes après 😁, c'est super que tu aies pu l'utiliser sur place ! Ça fait toujours plaisir quand on est à l'étranger et que l'on peut mettre en pratique ses connaissances linguistiques avec les natifs 😊!

[@pawshire]

Ouiii c'était marrant de pratiquer 😽

[@amberdreams_0]

I wish I'd been back into my art and known about Holbein when I visited Osaka in 2007 and I could have stocked up! That big art store...heaven. PS the big 'lotus' brush is called a cat's tongue, but I prefer lotus now. :D

[@pawshire]

😆

Hi, I just discovered your channel today and saw this video and it´s so lovely! Looking forward to see more about your work :D

[@StephenHeigh]

Fantastic art supply stores! Wow! Japan! I like what you are posting. I really want to get back to using gouache. I used it many years ago on architectural illustrations and often worked off a middle value art board. I liked building darks and then bring up the lights. Working on white always threw me off. I would be so inspired in those shops. I had a painting of mine on exhibit in Japan a while back. It was at the Mori Museum of Art in Tokyo as part of the Star Wars Visions Art exhibition. It looked like an amazing museum that was with panoramic views? Have you ever been there? I did not travel there and wish I could have.

[@kitkitagency]

miss so much Japan beautiful stationeries !! Can't stand to go back ! hopefully bought a lot of holbein gouache to Seoul art stationery shops !

[@pawshire]

I'm going to Seoul this year, I'm so excited for their art stores! ❤️ Do you have any recommendations?

[@fvarius3695]

The smile after shopping is the best🌸

[@Kafkatamura94]

I enjoyed this video a lot. Thank you

[@Signe-p3m]

Interesting video. I especially enjoyed watching you paint. You've got it!

[@josephinemonahan915]

Named after the artist Hans Holbein?......I especially love his painting, “The Ambassadors”🤩

[@pawshire]

Yes, that's right! 😊

[@francescaabc7321]

I also just discovered your channel today and subscribed.You're so inspiring, to someone like me who is procrastinating all the time, and don't know where to start, have total creative block. I loooove your pen paint brush, what is it called? ❤❤

[@pawshire]

I'm glad you enjoyed! 😊 You mean the water brush right? If yes, it is called a water brush, mine is from Faber Castell.

[@marhiiie]

Toutes ces couleurs 🤩 Je suis entièrement d’accord avec toi quand tu dis « art supplies = jewerly », moi j’adore flâner dans les papeteries 😃 Mention spéciale pour le ramen qui avait l’air incroyable ahaha 😍

[@Jul-jo6lb]

Interesting and beautiful!

[@giovannifurnari8668]

I love Osaka❤ And I love 🧡 this video 💯 You are very talented. Multi talented. More art supply shop videos pls 🙏🙏🙏🎨🎨✈️🇦🇺 A fan from Australia 🇦🇺

[@pawshire]

Aaaw thank you so much, I'm so happy you love the videos! More are coming for sure 😉❤️❤️

[@sewtania4074]

If you had to pick one for art supply shopping, which would you pick: Osaka or Tokyo? Meanwhile, I enjoyed your video and find your paintings inspiring.

[@pawshire]

Oh, that's a tough question! If I really really had too (like really really really) it would be Tokyo. It's bigger and there is much more to explore (which can also be tiring). But otherwise, I'd just not choose, it's only 2 hrs apart by train 😆

[@pekingduck15]

Thank you so much for this video! I’ll be going to Osaka a few months from now and been looking for a Holbein store, I’m glad I found your channel! Would you know if they were selling Holbein aluminum palettes in the first store? :) it would be great too if you could provide the exact address of the Holbein store :)

[@pawshire]

I did see some aluminium palettes at the showroom! Have fun in Osaka 😊❤️

[@kuinazadarlingmatryoshka3679]

I love ittt

[@trashtbyghosts]

gooooo pawshire!

[@pawshire]

😸

[@iamhelennn]

Thank you for sharing your adventures! Would you happen to remember how the prices at the Holbein showroom compared to the other art shops? Were the supplies more expensive at the showroom compared to the other art shops?

[@pawshire]

I think an acryla gouache tube was around 100¥ cheaper at the showroom! 😊

[@iamhelennn]

@@pawshire Thanks for responding! :) Heading to Osaka in a few months and the showroom is a bit out of the way for me but considering making a stop there now. :P

[@elisestoudt4535]

You said the main/bigger Holbein showroom was closed? I’m going to Japan in March or April 2025 and hope it’s back open! I’m struggling to find locations for the showrooms though. When I look it up, it only comes up with an art gallery but no showroom/shop and I think the factory locations on holbeins website. Where’d you find location info?

[@pawshire]

The Google map link is in the description box 😊

[@miraxterrik]

Looking at the receipt you got at Holbein, it seems to be more expensive than Sekaido. Wasn't it something you noticed too?

[@pawshire]

Acryla gouache was 454¥ at Sekaido, and between 300-400 at Holbein 😊 But if you count the effort of coming all the way here... 😂

[@miraxterrik]

@@pawshire 454y sounds like the 40ml (currently it's 484y in sekaido) but you bought 20ml, which is 264y versus 300y at holbein. I guess i will buy my stash at sekaido then :)

[@pawshire]

Sekaido is great! From my video in Tokyo I saw that the price was for the 20ml. But I might be wrong. Please share once you go there! ❤️😊

[@gamewrit0058]

16:00 Beautiful paintings!

[@bagheera3008]

Does the second place Kawachi also have holbein products? Specifically gouache or acryla gouache

[@pawshire]

Yes they did, but not as many!

[@Stimkie]

Damn, I didn't know that Holbein was from Osaka and I had been there last July. Then again, I still wouldn't be able to go due to our tour's packed schedule. Good to know though, maybe I can check it out the next time I return.

[@pawshire]

They have a small one in Tokyo too!

[@Stimkie]

@@pawshire Good news! I am returning to Osaka on May. I am hoping to maybe go back to Shinsaibashi and visit Kawachi.

[@Sketchbook9999]

You remind me of my highschool friend in England UK

[@pawshire]

In a good way, I hope? 😂

[@evchenn0403]

What did you use as a "table" on the go?

[@pawshire]

It's a simple wood board 😊

[@culturevultureonline4742]

Is the Holbein Showroom tax-free for tourists? Lovely video, by the way - thanks for sharing!

[@pawshire]

I am not sure if was explicitly tax free but the prices were so way lower, I did not even ask! A tube of acryla gouache was around 300¥ instead of 423¥ for example. Hope this helps!

[@culturevultureonline4742]

@@pawshire it does. It is good to know. Thank you so much for that comparison.

[@AliceInPokeWonderland]

Just sub awesome video I'm also love to do art thank you for sharing

[@OnlyDoniaUKnow]

8:22 ¥13,530 is CRAZY for that Stonehenge pad!! I have the exact same one and I paid $20usd. It must have to do with the import costs cause Japanese art tools are expensive in the US for that reason. Still, that paper is not worth $90usd imo

[@pawshire]

😮

another great video (love yr titles!) some constructive feedback is please speak a little more clearly or loudly in your voiceovers parts were very quiet and mumbly

[@pawshire]

Thank you for your feedback! I will work on speaking more clearly 😊❤️

[@gamewrit0058]

Beautiful video. Subtitles or a transcript would help, too, for the Deaf and hard of hearing. Your voice is lovely. It's just that the audio is muffled in some places, which is fairly common in vlogs with lots of cuts. Thanks for sharing your art journey with us!
