I went to a Jerry's Artarama store!! Here's all of the nifty new things I ended up with! 🎨😻

How on Earth did I miss this video release??? LOL! Anyway, I'm glad I saw it now and how fun! I'm really surprised with how FEW products you ended up with - I would have been tempted to buy the whole store, but obviously that's not possible. 😂😅😂

[@AnnieNoodle]

Hahaha I have no idea. I don't think I was particularly sneaky!! 🤣 Oh my. I wanted SO much more. It's always hard to leave when you can still walk upright carrying all of the supplies you got. You shouldn't leave until you need a cart!! But since I'm still supposed to be not buying stuff, I was trying to restrain myself. 😅

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

Aww, I have that same pink T'gaal... Actually two of them. 😂 It's a nice sharpener, but I felt like the rotating mechanism didn't last long enough. The angle adjustment is fine, but the closure tab won't come out. So many cute things. 😍 That lamé gouache looks so good, I don't know what I would use it for, but I want it. 😅 Though I might already have it... I love gouache, but use it way too little.

[@AnnieNoodle]

Lol I haven't used my new sharpener yet, so I don't know what you mean!! 😅 I'm sure I'll find out soon enough. I have NO idea what I'm going to use any of this shiny stuff for. Being in love with shininess is a new aspect of my personality!! But I will figure something out!! 😁

I loove turner lame line 😍😍😍 some of their japansque line has a biit of grainy texture and they usually have a warning that they might cause allergies because of the traditional japanese pigments they use in them, but maybe because you picked up metallic colors it would be fine. Also I think I read somewhere that designer gouache is meant for scanning that's why they usually aren't lightfast- please someone correct me if I'm wrong 😅 I can't wait to see you use the golden foil I think it goes perfect with your art 🥰

[@AnnieNoodle]

I really want to try the japanesque line!! I think that texture could be cool if you planned for it. I thought the designer gouache was also known for not being light-fast, but all of the Windsor and Newton that I got ARE light fast. At least, those pigments are. Who knows!!? I've started an illustration that I want to try the gold leaf on already!! I'm so stoked about it.

[@thinkerdreamersketcherspy]

@@AnnieNoodle not all W&N gouaches are lightfast so be wary! Out of all the purples and pinks I think only one of each is lightfast. The basic sets come with non-lightfast colours as well.

[@AnnieNoodle]

@@thinkerdreamersketcherspy oh for sure. I'm going by pigment info, though I know not even that is 100%. Also... You guys, I just...I got more paint today. Hahaha it's ridiculous. I'll sneak a little video in somewhere, because I need other people to see what I got. 😂

[@Dausypoo]

I also have that pink sharpener. Works pretty good. My only regret with the Jerrys I've been in is they don't carry holbein gouache but turners is fine as well.

[@AnnieNoodle]

Yay!! I'm part of the pink sharpener club, now! The Jerry's I stopped at had Holbein, but I feel like their paint is stickier, so I don't like it as much. It does look beautiful when the painting is done, though. It's just less fun for me to paint with. It's still hard to resist buying it, because the paint tubes look like little candies and I love them!!!

[@Dausypoo]

@@AnnieNoodle paint looking like candy is the primary reason I buy paint lmao

[@sharronhoppe8504]

If you are planning on making a purchase from Jerry's Artarama that includes a promotional free item, think again. Twice I have received an order that was supposed to include a promotional item and both times they did not ship it. When I called their customer service I was advised that they couldn't ship it separate from the order, but I could place another order and they would ship it with that. Just a racket to get more money out of you!

[@AnnieNoodle]

Oh no!! I'm so sorry that you had a bad experience with them. I've only ordered from them a couple times, and I haven't had any issues. But I do have other companies that lots of people love that I won't order from because I've had bad experiences. It doesn't take much to make me distrust a company!!

[@kysq384]

I love the sparkley things. Art supply stores are terrifying and amazing.

[@AnnieNoodle]

Hahaha totally agree to both of those things!! 😅🤩
