Let´s open the upcrate 59 and make something with it

[@therasiathecook]

At first, I was disappointed again with this box but when I saw the art graf and that the artist is also from Portugal I felt so so proud, Viarco is such a special company and makes me and most of us Portuguese very proud I am in love with ur creation!!!

I have the same color selection of oil pastels as you, but we only had this oil pastel recently. But I was most excited about this graphite thing (I still don't know the right name). I've wanted to try it for a long time! And yes, it was so much fun experimenting with it. For me it was the last Upcrate, unfortunately too many bad boxes recently, or too much watercolor (I'm drowning in watercolor colors). Your picture is beautiful again! I love your art.

I like the art! I would say one needs a large paper and even a larger atellier to mess up with that graphite putty

[@Ozzymandyas]

I like the material, guess I'll be working with it today... maybe including a (silicone?) brush additionally would have been an idea.

[@kitsidale]

It was rather amusing for me to see you use pastels ❤. The black stuff yuck, way toooooo messy. I like the scratch stick thingy 😊

[@beccascraps8141]

I really like your colors!! I hope I get those!!! I think this will be my last upcrate. Maybe scrawlrbox, though that’s so expensive to the states, ugh. I dunno

@@beccascraps8141 gosh, i wish you the best of luck, if you like comment here wich one you got, because i am rather curious 😅😅😅. Did you have a look at the artsnacks Box? It looks like they are based in brookline.

[@beccascraps8141]

@@silencreativa8199 not impressed with Artsnacks. They are SOOOO expensive and the content is meh. Paletteful packs is hit or miss. I get sketchbox on and off, it’s definitely my favorite but I like getting an international kit other than the price. They have different things. Where are you?

@@beccascraps8141 i am from germany, that is why i was happy about the upcrate at first. It really can get quite pricy, especially when it is so much Hit and miss

I have a pouch of the graphite putty, unfortunarely it didn't have a resealable top on it then. Don't know why they didn't always make it like that... Anyway, I had squeezed some out into a watercolor half pan. I've seen other people roll a chunk out and let it dry to use as a pencil. My pouch is completely dried out by now, but it's watersoluble, so at least it's not wasted... Just less messy now lol 😅

@@ApohMay less messy sounds a lot more amazing to be honest 😅

[@pamblebee7127]

Lucky you. My colours are: black, dark brown, brown, red brown, ocre and dark green 😳 What the hell should I do with it? 🤣

[@silencreativa8199]

@@pamblebee7127 ehm something like a sepia themed drawing? Gosh you really got the worst combination i fear 😅

[@Replicanna-rl6zg]

I agree, do something like the oldu photographs, that we're not even called photographs but can not remember what was the name, those have the colours

[@Replicanna-rl6zg]

I had to look it up, daguerrotype

[@Ozzymandyas]

Hey, you got the same color mix as I did... my motive idea so far is a jungle "amazon" of some kind...

[@beccascraps8141]

Mine finally came, I got red, orange yellow. So kinda the opposite of yours!

[@silencreativa8199]

@@beccascraps8141 gosh that took quite some time to reach you, but i whould say it is not the worst color selection or what do you think?

[@extracoffeemug]

I dunno, the water soluble thing sounds interesting but the oil pastels again? Didnt we get one very recebtly? I barely touch them. I'm glad you had fun, i havent gotten my box yet but i dont see how will I even work with this and make it interesting for me per se😅

[@silencreativa8199]

@@extracoffeemug to be honest i don't use the oil pastells that much either, but with the blending and finding our that you can seal then with varnish i might Experiment more, i am kind of pleased with the result. I really hope that you will have fun with your Box.

[@silencreativa8199]

@@extracoffeemug oh and the last oil pastells came in Box #54 so five boxes ago. They still have 5 boxes to make oil pastells this years watercolor 😜😜😜
