[@starr-starr]

That hollow round brush is sometimes called a fountain brush ( at least that’s what Dynasty calls theirs). Use it like a stamp and it makes beautiful feathery little round flowers like asters, or can make starbursts. Held on its side or at an angle and can get leaves or generic blobby trees. With practice, feathery grass, but it’s hard to get it varied enough.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks! I'll look it up!

[@phillipstroll7385]

I love how friendly the group became. Everyone trading things and enjoying supplies together while sharing giggles. How nice.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It really is!

[@jeanettegeldenhuys5050]

Wish I was there with you wonderful artists. Loved seeing their spoils. Glad you had a great time in Paris Lindsay. Enjoy your well chosen purchases.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much!

[@nalissa77]

That was fun. Thanks to everyone who shared their haul. Looks like great stuff all around.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rayanneedwards8542]

What FUN! Thank you for sharing everyone's Art supply haul.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@jennw6809]

As far as the brush that makes the "o" shape, Rosemary & Co makes a similar brush they call the "rotary tree brush" and there are instructions on their website on how to use it, although they're a bit complicated and difficult to decipher. I'm sure it's much clearer in a video, but I can't seem to find a demo video anywhere. But it might be easier to understand the written instructions if you're holding it and trying it.

[@JynDrawz]

OMG. 😁 Thank you for this! That last day was such a blur and seeing this brings tears to my eyes and missing all the ladies. I think we were all very responsible in our shopping sprees. Christine did the most amazing loose, free and beautiful flower paintings!

You are the best!! Are you wearing your Amsterdam hoodie?❤

[@JynDrawz]

@@christinetrappenfortes7761 I will be this weekend now that I'm done painting. I did not want to dare get any paint on it.. I am going to cherish it forever ( and wear it too!) ♥💀

Christine is so free and expressive in her work! So pretty!

[@williammcneill2753]

I look forward to the artwork show and tell. I am really interested to see the work with the ‘historic’ pastel set.

Most of the artwork done on retreat was with watercolor as the shopping was done near the end of the week.

That block of Hahnemuhle paper (Anniversary Edition) that Christine got is Irit Landgraf's favorite everyday paper, very affordable. We can't get it here in the states, at least not at a reasonable price... What a treat! And oh my, those pastels!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Our pleasure!

[@hiddenshadow2105]

About 6 month ago there was a huge clearance sale here on Sennelier professional watercolour and I got a few tubes, and then a few more and then a lots more. Somehow I really like working with Sennelier. Maybe it is just in my head, but the paint never seems to fight me or be difficult with me. Other paints are very lovely, and I do like them (a lot as with all watercolours except Cotman and Daler-Rowney), but in some strange way Sennelier harmonizes with me quite well, almost as well as Mungyo (which is my favourite palette). The only drawback is that Sennelier doesn't have transparent orange and Misty Morning, as well as better bordeaux hue. So if I ever get to go to France, it probably would be just Sennelier and then more Sennelier.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's good paint!

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

That a nice card that the lady made. Thank you for sharing your hauls with us. I just loved seeing what everyone bought.

[@joyfulldj]

Hahnemule is indeed fairly cheap on EU mainland and so are both schmincke and rembrand tubes

[@hiddenshadow2105]

Hahnemule is rather expensive here, as well as pretty much everything else because the only native watercolours are either hand-made (and so already expensive, such as Beam) or only available in some places and in really weird pans (Tri-art). I wish to go to Japan because I've heard Holbein is like equivalent of two dollars there.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

[@AMNG1994]

This is such a nice treat, Lindsay. I was born on the artistically wrong continent haha. Here in Southeast Asia, the older artists are into watercolors and inks while the younger ones are into sketch markers and inks, and art schools here make everyone use gouache, hence these are the art supplies abundant in our stores. I would die of happiness if I get access to the oil pastels of Europe!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

a brush i have never seen before! how interesting, the round hollow one

[@thefrugalcrafter]

A couple people commented that it's called a fountain or rotary tree brush.

[@RoseDreamsinger]

I found the Uni Pin fineliners the other day in Barnes and Noble bookstore, of all places. Right by the cash registers. I bought three. Their sizes are off by 1 from most other brands, so I got a 0.2mm, 0.6mm, and a thin brush-style. The ink is supposed to be waterproof, but some of it moves if you wet it. Even after waiting 24 hours for it to dry, it made a pale gray cloud around the actual line. The ink flows well. The 0.2mm is more of a dark gray than a black, and feels slightly scratchier on the page. The other two are nice and smooth to draw with. The brush will make a line from about a 0.7mm pencil to a 2mm, which is thinner than the 0.2mm pen.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

[@jennw6809]

So intrigued by that new Sennelier Mixed Media paper! I did find it available in the US at a distributor in Georgia called MacPhersons, but it's quite expensive. They seem to not have their own stores, they distribute to other stores in the area, and it's not clear where you could buy it but I suppose you could call the 800 number if someone was really interested. Hopefully it will come to Jackson's soon. I would love to see that demo'd with the soft pastels you got at the pastellier, maybe with a watercolor underpainting.

Dear Lindsay, I watched your Satchat yesterday, and this today. Thanks for all your hard work, hours and positivity. You're a natural boost of energy. You're always quick witted, and on the money in your responses with the ladies there in France! A great interview. Your camera operator, was whom? Anyway, yesterday's video, you were saying you had concern about how you came across, teaching in person, your self esteem seemed low, and after many years behind the camera, you worried unnecessarily about whether you still can do it the raw... I have only one thing to say; "Once a teacher, always a teacher." ;) In kindred spirit, PS Now... " Your new latest fad; a vlog style art haul with collective global stories" is likely to be your best video this year! Is one to beat! Here's to racking up 900,000 views on it!

I got a red mini bijou from whiskey painters with their golden brush. Love love love it. It's a good fome palette from Italy. But the brush, let's talk about the mini brush. The brushes that come with palettes are always yuck; NOT THIS ONE. although it's tiny. Smaller in length than the w & n brushes, the brush is larger and softer. Talk about holding water and paint. If choose I wouldn't use it for anything larger than a postcard but that's just me. If you can find the bijou inexpensive I suggest you go for it. I wanted it bad enough to pay full price but again that's just me.
