[@BeckyTregear]

[@TracieWho]

Love the kittie!!

[@nattyw495]

Enjoy watching your process on using items from box, I like all your art creations...💛🇨🇦🇺🇲👩‍🎨🎨✍💛

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@jasminetea3396]

The kitty cat is too darn cute!

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you, I love how he turned out!

[@INCWorks]

The inclusion of a 12-pan tin palette of watercolors is impressive. Fun video!

[@BeckyTregear]

I was definitely impressed! This was a fun box. 😆

[@Saahrish]

Yes for the cat print!! Loved it!

[@BeckyTregear]

I printed a sample and it's looking pretty good! 😆

Artspaze belongs to Upcrate or the other way around, I'm not 100% sure. Also about the red metallic pen. Last year December I believe we got a box with a set of those pens. The red ones were faulty in a lot of sets (mine included). Upcrate then contacted Spectrum Noir to replace the faulty pens, but Spectrum Noir didn't have enough replacements because there were sooo many faulty red ones in the boxes, so Spectrum Noir had to manufacture those specifically to replace the broken ones. That took longer than expected, and that's why this pen ended up in the box randomly. I wish they would have explained. I only know because I contacted Upcrate about it when I tried my red pen and it was just dried up already. Hope that clears up the confusion about the red pen a bit :) I adore the kitty btw, Becky! It's adorable! ❤

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you for the information! I didn't realise there was a faulty batch of pens, because my one is fine and it's good to have an explanation on that. Much appreciated! 😊

[@Thia-saurus]

@@BeckyTregear I do hope that the replacements work as intended 😂 otherwise they would have to make another new batch 😆 ah well, mistakes happen and they immediately worked on fixing the issue, so all's good. I just thought I'd clear up the random metallic pen without information in the magazine, because so many were confused (I already mentioned it in other videos about that box as well) glad to be of help ☺ hope you're having a wonderful weekend, Becky

[@FayeWulf]

I love art subscription boxes cause you put it away and forget then when you're bored or feeling down, open a random one up and bam, something to cheer you up and a new activity to do or learn. I think Art Crate is probably the best one cause it gives so many options for supplies to play with and not just one. You did amazing for your drawing of the house and kitty. Its such a beautiful building. Also Klodwing is such an amazing artist!!

[@BeckyTregear]

Boxes are so great for waking up the old inspiration! And thank you.😊

[@mapr0876]

Your art is so beautiful ❤

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you!

[@ArtBrain]

Lovely drawings. The paint would be fun for plein air sketching.

[@melissaaldosari8024]

I love all three!

[@dianethoroughman9541]

Hi Becky, you did really great with your three beautiful pieces of art! I like the abstract and the cat the best. They are kind of a tie. Take care.

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you! 😊

[@TaraDreams]

Love the kitty art! ❤

[@k.f.3609]

Oh, the cat is beautiful 😊👍 Unfortunately, I haven't worked this box yet 🙈

[@juliec.]

Beautiful artwork :)

[@dennybean4009]

New to your channel. All of your drawings are great, but the last one I really like. It's nice to see what just four colors can do.That watercolor palette is too cute. Nice colors. Thx for sharing. 😊

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you, and welcome to my channel, I hope to see you again in the comments! 😊

[@dennybean4009]

👍

[@joannedj1]

That looks like a good box! Agree that the two green paints looked very similar shades!

[@BeckyTregear]

That was the only issue really, otherwise the paint set is pretty good!

[@vhacker71]

Excellent work 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@deeanncross7674]

That was a nice box. I especially like how the kitty turned out! Nice artwork. And the Picasso quote was new to me.

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you! I mean, Google SAID it was Picasso....but who would know for sure! I like it regardless. 😄

[@Elvraie]

That was an excellent box for May. Love your artwork especially the cat. Have a great weekend Becky.

[@BeckyTregear]

Thanks, you too!

[@DAYbreaking_Ideas]

Very nice work. I always take pictures of architecture with the idea of drawing them 😂but I rarely do it.

[@BeckyTregear]

I'm the same, haha! I have a huge photo library of unpainted references.

[@E4Alabbasy]

I only subscribe to them once a year and I got this box, I was so shocked to find my two favorite mediums, alcohol markers and watercolors! It was so fun to combine them I definitely will do it again 😊 your house painting turned out lovely 🥰

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you - and I agree that this was a great combination of supplies! Quite possibly the best box I've tried so far.

[@meldixon1918]

Nice job on these artworks Becky!

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you! 😊

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Fun art works! The cat one is my favorite, but I favor cats anyway, lol. That's a great grouping of supplies.

[@BeckyTregear]

I had that one printed as a postcard; it looks pretty good! Now I just need to organise a website blah blah....ahhhhh!!! 😂

[@Azkademon]

Klood is a brill artist, I've followed her for years, I adore all 3 artworks you did with this box, I especially loved the Tudor house! And I can totally understand you when you don't always get inspiration for artwork, I've been struggling for months with artblock and it's driving me insane, and even more so now I've had early access to Inktober 2023 prompt list!! Are you going to be taking part Becky? I'm going to try my best as I really love doing it :D

[@attorneycarissa]

That's a great haul from an art box!

[@BeckyTregear]

I ended up sticking Kloodwig's picture into my art journal, with my "Mondrian/Picasso" piece on the opposite page, The colour palette matches very well! As for Inktober; I got the prompt list too this morning. I probably won't really do much because October is always a busy month but I'll maybe get to do some little drawings. We'll see!

[@Ca0309]

I love that you do a lot of pictures and not just one when you present your materials or boxes! Great channel! All the pics you did are amazing! And you have such a good mood in you videos! Thanks for your effort! Cheers from Brasil

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you - I like to use all of the pieces of paper in the box, if I can! 😁

[@sueallen952]

Hi becky, loved your kitty!!! I bought a set of those spectrum noir and NOPE they are not at all metalic!!! Very annoying, get my summer house next wk!!!!!🎉

[@BeckyTregear]

Good to know, I'll just stick with the one pen, haha. Ooooh it's getting close, I can't wait to hear about your wee house when it turns up!

[@jrigg3495]

The house is absolutely stunning. The tree is wonderful, the blossoms and the shadows are amazing. You are so very talented!

[@BeckyTregear]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@jrigg3495]

@@jrigg3495 I have sold a few originals in the past - mostly I keep them and I am looking to sell prints soon in the future.

Thank you 😊

[@zenlife1200]

Hi Becky, just curious where you got your swatch stamp from? That would save me a lot of time when I'm creating palettes for different things. I seem to swatch a lot. I can see your cat painting as a sticker on that paint tin. I like decorating different palettes with stickers following a theme of what the palette was set up for, it makes them easier to grab when I'm in a hurry.

[@BeckyTregear]

They are Waffle Flower swatch stamps. I bought them from Amazon US, but I've seen them on Aussie websites too. They were pretty expensive but I find them to be very useful!

[@zenlife1200]

@@BeckyTregear Thank you. I see they sell a lot of other interesting stamps for journaling too and I might have put some in a shopping list lol. They are quite dear but all the art supplies in NZ seem to be dear anyway. I suppose that's not a bad thing, I only buy what I need and use and don't have an art clutter problem.......yet 😄

[@Nathalieroy2624]

Wow, the cat! ❤

[@BeckyTregear]

I'm happy with that one!! 😺

[@ChantelleArts]

This looks like a really great box, the watercolour palette seems very pigmented too ❤

[@BeckyTregear]

Yes, they're actually pretty good!

[@nixda5077]

fun video and nice paintings 😊 as far as I know, Artspaze is like the 'housebrand' of Upcrate. Even heard today that they seem to have the same CEO but that is not confirmed I would have to research that.

[@BeckyTregear]

Yeah there doesn't seem to be much info at all out there - maybe I'll actually ask them, haha.

[@lozantoninocreations]

I am jealous of the red pen. I got a set of 6 of those in a subscription box last year and the red one never worked. They are so pretty though. You got a lot in this box. I did 9 months of Upcrate and I never had as much in a box as what you have here.

[@BeckyTregear]

Oh that's a bummer that your pen didn't work! 😭 Overall, this was a doozy of a box supplies-wise!

[@RamoArt]

There must be something wrong with that red pen. I also got a set of 6 in a subscription box last year and all of them worked. Yesterday I wanted to use the red one and it no longer works! Could be a coincidence...

[@nikkia9506]

A few other artists with KZbin channels has mentioned that Artspaze belongs to whoever makes the subscription box.

[@BeckyTregear]

I still haven't figured this out, haha!

[@nikkia9506]

@@BeckyTregear I suppose it's like using the box to advertise their own supplies. It's probably cheaper than buying in from other manufacturers, too. Whatever the reason is, they still do a good box 👍
