Hullo Irit, I wish you every success with your art club! I calculated the time needed to watch the videos released by the artists that I follow, ONLY Artists, and it would take me 37+ hours a day to watch the content posted. Now not everyone posts everyday, this is from a weekly average! I also follow people that post longer video content 30 to 45 minutes. I enjoyed watching your choices and I hope you continue this trend in updating your viewers as to your current favorites, as I have trouble seeing every video posted. Thank you for sharing your time with your viewers.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thank you so much! Yes, there's a LOT out there! Thanks for watching and always leaving such helpful comments!

[@lisadmonte9889]

Love this video thank you for sharing. Do you have any videos to show the process of how you use soft pastels with the gelli plate like you showed in your sketch book?

[@iritlandgraf]

I actually made one for my membership, but I will do my best to also create one for KZbin soon. It's a lovely technique, although honestly, not much to it! Draw with soft pastels (they do need to be VERY soft, Sennelier works, but some colors better than others, Jackson's too and I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I have) on the gelli plate. Then add acrylic paint OR matte medium and print. Alternatively, you can draw on paper with soft pastels, then apply paper to gelli plate- the pastels will transfer to the plate. Add acrylic paint and print! I tried to find a good tutorial on KZbin, but seems like there's really a need for one ;)

[@lisadmonte9889]

@@iritlandgraf​​⁠oh thank you so very much for your detailed reply. I too tried to search but could not find one. It looks like it give a lovely texture I’ll try to give it a try. ❤

[@iritlandgraf]

It does make a wonderful chalky texture! Have fun!

[@ChristyH-B]

I found this really interesting and I've added the distress crayons to my wishlists. Some really lovely colours!

[@iritlandgraf]

Hope you enjoy them! Let me know 😁

[@jennw6809]

Unfortunately I don't have the bandwidth for Joy Art Club right now, but I really hope you do a KZbin video demoing what you're doing with soft pastel and the gelli plate! I got a gelli plate to try sealing pastels I'd done with sticks on paper; that doesn't work so great. (I saw someone do it with a thin layer of Pan Pastel and that works much better.) Are you drawing with pastel right on the plate? Then brayering acrylic medium over it?

[@iritlandgraf]

No worries! I understand ☺️ yes, I draw with the pastels first (you need very soft pastels) and then brayer acrylic paint or matte medium if you prefer transparent. Super fun!

[@jennw6809]

@@iritlandgraf Wow I'm definitely trying that! Because I don't really have acrylics or know what else to do with this plate, but I have the mediums. I do have some very soft pastels so I can't wait to try!

[@iritlandgraf]

Let me know if it worked! Have fun 😊

[@ChantelleArts]

what a fantastic list, might have to pick a couple of these up myself ☺☺

[@iritlandgraf]

Go for it! 😁 Glad you enjoyed!

[@nancyloomis3046]

Hi Irit! Thanks for sharing all your fave beautiful colors! So soft and pretty and with what's going on in our world right now...I really need to look at a lot of soft & pretty! I have a lot of TH Distress Oxide stamp colors and other paper-crafting products from him. And since you mentioned him...and for those who aren't familiar, Tim Holtz Distress and Distress Oxide crafting color products (primarily stamp ink, but his gel crayons & much more) along with his Ideology embellishments and paper crafting products are likely some of the most popular, best and highest quality crafting products out there. I think one day, we may actually see some artist quality color products by Ranger, the company who produces the Distress line. TH also licenses his designs for dies to Sizzix and stamps to Stamper's Anonymous...and paper cutters and scissors to Tonic Studios, I think. I love fine art, and keep that at the top, but I love paper-crafting/mixed media too. Tim has been doing live shows on his YT channel almost every Saturday for some time to debut his new products, explain how to use them and show what his amazing designers do with them. For anyone who hasn't seen these videos, you really should check out his channel. They're really fun and often long, but very enjoyable to watch...even if you're not a paper crafter, I think you'll find them worthwhile to watch. (The holiday creations, that you will see in early fall for Halloween to Christmas are probably the most viewed...the makes are just fabulous.)

[@iritlandgraf]

Glad you enjoyed Nancy! Totally agree about TH. He's a joy to watch even if one's style is nothing like his. I wish Ranger made some artist grade materials, I think they could add to the art supplies world!

[@lizag654]

Please tell me you’ll be doing a Gelli plate tutorial?

[@hpowergreen]

@iritlandgraf adding a second “please!” Would love to see how you use pastels on the Gelli Plate

[@iritlandgraf]

[@kallisto9680]

​@@iritlandgrafThank you very much for the idea with the gelly plate! This could be the solution for my soft pastels. At the moment I only paint in my scetchbooks and not on single papers. And pure softpastel chalk is not ideal in scetchbooks I think. I will buy a gelly plate and try this 🙂.

[@PaulaScardamalia]

Thanks for talking about the Goldfaber markers. Will check them out because I'd like to have a few when traveling and the Albrecht D ones are too chunky. I noticed there is a Water Blue that might fit the bill for your soft blue-green.

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for the suggestion! Yup, love these markers!

[@sabinemetscher6449]

The marker palette is lovely. No suggestion on a sea color. My latest Caran D’Ache Favorit is Malachite, Neo I & II . For your last stream/ live I was not feeling well but rewatched & am running with the: fill a sketchbook ides. Landscape 15 x 9 cm, soft, white average WC paper. By Creative Mark their Reflexions type. Thank you for this video💕 With you, Distress Crayons are Art Crayons 🗺️⭐️

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks Sabine! I'll look for Malachite 😁

[@sabinemetscher6449]

No, sketchbook size 15 x 24 cm 😆

[@impish22]

great supplies, thanks for sharing

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks for watching!

[@kombiniertanzbekki]

They have the Faber Castell Pitt Artist Dual Marker wich are having a small tip but are chuncky like the Albrecht Dürer. But they have India Ink, It means they they are not watersoluable like the Albrecht Dürer one . Hope it helps.

[@iritlandgraf]

Yes I've seen those too, Pitt are great but always chunky!

[@gnosticgnative8931]

I was thinking also (before you showed the ink speckled egg color) that a robins egg blueish green would be a very good color for your marker collection

[@iritlandgraf]

Absolutely!

[@Harkart59]

you can make ranger colors with neo ll, I do it wetting them on a smooth piece of hot press paper and remember the combo

[@iritlandgraf]

Great tip! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@mjpete27]

Oh Irit, My Wife has been struggling with the options for colors and applications of those colors of non-archival mediums. I assume this is because Artists are expected to be mixing their colors and scrapbookers are storing their art inside of books away from the light! I have tried to get her interested in professional grade watercolors but getting that certain color right out of the tube just is not so easy. Even those 250+ offerings from like DanSmith are not even close. I am currently trying out the Rosa paints for her and trying to figure out how to mix some of her more favorite or most used colors. I am going to try her out on the Neocolor sticks 1&2, maybe they will do the trick? Have a lovely day!

[@iritlandgraf]

Interesting point! Color mixing is definitely more common in artist practice and less in the crafter, at least from my experience... A few years ago when watercolors were super popular in the craft industry many craft brands came out with tons of sets. Prima Marketing was one, Altenew, American crafts... Maybe look there? 🤔

[@kimgoranson9954]

I recently drug out my distress crayons to play with also. What I enjoy about them is that they are creamy like an oil pastel but they dry quickly. Better for sketch books.

[@iritlandgraf]

Absolutely! Love their colors and texture!

[@kimgoranson9954]

⁠@@iritlandgrafcolors r great. I have to play with the distress angle also. I have owned them for 6 or 7 yrs & they were still like new.

[@iritlandgraf]

That's great!

[@riverAmazonNZ]

I love the distress crayons too. We have the same favourites

[@iritlandgraf]

Awesome!! What are you favorite colors?

[@MsMaRo87]

Similarly, I’ve been inspired by Emma Carlisle (and see you have been too) in using the gelli plate with pastels, the distress range, and the pith supply sketchbook :)

[@iritlandgraf]

Absolutely, love Emma's work!

[@susansacco7583]

Hi Irit- Tombow #291 possibly. This color seems softer than the ones you have out. Check out Zig Acrylic Liner in gold if interested. I’ve been using it over acrylics. The zig gold is brighter than most. Thanks💕

[@iritlandgraf]

Thanks Susan! Will check it out soon on my next trip to the art store!

[@septembermichaud6783]

I wonder if anyone here has used the distress watercolor pencils and how the colors compare to the crayons.

[@iritlandgraf]

I have two sets and the colors are mostly identical. The formula is completely different of course, they are more like pencils, so harder. Hope that helps!

[@septembermichaud6783]

@@iritlandgraf thank you!

[@ivyseabreeze]

Are those Tombow dual tip markers?

[@iritlandgraf]

Yes 👍👍👍

[@jennw6809]

How do you not have a bright pink marker??? SHOCKED

[@iritlandgraf]

Lol I have!! Somehow it didn't make the faves this month, but I'm sure it will in the future 😃

[@sarabengtsson5353]

The Goldfaber markers are not lightfast. I've been in touch with Faber-Castell and asked and I did my own test too, and they fade away. It's a pity because they are lovely.

[@iritlandgraf]

I was sure of it. For light-fast option I'd go with Albrecht Dürer. But these will be used in a sketchbook only so I'm not concerned. Thanks for sharing!

[@ooXChrissieXoo]

The world does use 1 measurement, but someone doesn’t want to 😂 how do you inch…. I can’t 🤣

[@iritlandgraf]

lol!

[@artsy_scorpio2419]

How do you all centimeter? I can’t. 😂😂

[@ooXChrissieXoo]

@@artsy_scorpio2419 you're bugged, please download and install your latest patch 😆 Well centimeter and millimeter offers much smaller increment so you get a more accurate measurement. But my problem started in primary school when teacher taught us to use inch ruler that was divided into 16 segments instead of 10. then you had to describe length using fraction which did not do well for me. 😭

[@artsy_scorpio2419]

@@ooXChrissieXoo Definitely bugged! But I think the software is too old to update. 🤣🤣
