Oh. That's a lovely idea to keep the papers in the plastic bag so that you can mix the colours on top. I'm going to use that next time I travel. Thanks :)

[@MariyaPrytula]

Elli Maanpaa Art yai! I'm glad you found that helpful. If you also use a mat (like for a picture frame) rather than a full sheet, you can see in the window if the color you're mixing will work for your painting by positioning it over the top.

Hey Mariya, I'm a new subscriber from Louisiana. Arrived via KZbin search results for "travel art pack". Watching studio tour pics & vids used to relax me, but now they tense me up. I prefer checking out backpack art supply setups for minimalism & mobility. I guess camping in various forms the last 15 yrs has deeply affected me to the extent that I feel more comfortable living out of backpacks & duffels than spreading out into a permanent studio room setup. It's more important for me to see and hear nature and be able to quickly and easily change locations and travel. Thanks so much for sharing your art pack contents and arrangements. It's very helpful and inspiring. I'm about to get into sewing out of necessity for repairing things I love too much to replace, and they've served me so well over the years. So I'll have the opportunity to try adding useful and fun features. You've given me fodder for some ideas. My mind is percolating! Blessed be.

[@MariyaPrytula]

Wonderful! I'm sure other people would love to see what you come up with as well. I tend to gravitate towards calm videos right now as well, hence a break on this channel. But someday I'll be back.

[@stephiemaeillustrations9677]

If you like the honey binder, I highly recommend trying the M. Graham watercolors. They are easily re-wet, and the colors are strong and gorgeous. :) I've been painting with them for about five year now and can't recommend them enough!

[@MariyaPrytula]

Stephie Mae Illustrations That's awesome! Thanks for the recommendations. I've kept an eye out for them but they are a bit of a unicorn. Haven't seen them either in Texas or Colorado. A lot of folks from Europe like those.

[@stephiemaeillustrations9677]

You should be able to order them online from a place local to me in Minnesota. It is called Wet Paint. You can either look them up, or if you want just let me know and I can email/message you their page. :) They are SUPER nice people there and it's my favorite store. I don't go too often, because I'm not a billionaire. lol

[@MariyaPrytula]

Stephie Mae Illustrations thanks! I'll check into that. Always great to have a wonderful art store nearby :D

[@dorothyminor7581]

Just found your channel. You are incredibly talented! Thanks for sharing!

[@MariyaPrytula]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@geraldinegranado3386]

Beautiful work!

[@MariyaPrytula]

Thank you very much!

[@elgabenedicta]

Wow.. your illustrations are gorgeous! Love the classic feel to it.. 💕😍

[@MariyaPrytula]

Thank you very much!

[@lesliemkn]

Neat! Didn't know that about sable vs. synthetic

[@MariyaPrytula]

yes. Unfortunately, I've yet to find a synthetic that holds up to detail work. Washes, no problem, and I actually prefer them a bit more because they are a bit stiffer. I would like to use something that doesn't harm animals, but throwing away 20-30 brushes is not good either. Like I said, I've used the same two brushes for two years already, and added a new one for super tiny work just 6 months ago. If you take care of it, it can really last a lifetime.

[@littlesirenreads]

i wanna start an art channel some day

[@MariyaPrytula]

Kendra Stuerzl you should totally do it. I got swamped with deadlines, but will be updating soon. The important thing is that it has to feel fun to you!

[@cheralynn4417]

Hi - just found your channel. Very nice work! What scanner do you use, please?

[@MariyaPrytula]

Hi! Sorry I didn't see your comment till now. I use a Canon 8800 with a glass over the top (allows me to scan large pieces in chunks without lip being in the way), and I use Vuescan as my scanning software. Another scanner I recommend for watercolor is Epson V600.

[@cheralynn4417]

Mariya Prytula Thank you! I knew about the Epson but I will check out the Canon first before deciding 😀

[@MariyaPrytula]

Usually the Canon will have better color reproduction vs Epson is better at sharpness. Check out if you can get it second hand or refurbished. You can test to make sure it doesn't have scanning errors by scanning black or red piece of paper and looking to see if there are any pixel disturbances.

[@cheralynn4417]

Mariya Prytula wow, didn’t realize. Thank you so much for the info.

[@dudeguy3945]

Hey so I'm not sure if you meant to do this or not but when you dump out your pencil bag it just skips to you talking about a collapseable cup and masking tape

[@MariyaPrytula]

Hi! I cut it out on purpose because it added almost 5 minutes on top of the existing video. If there is interest, I can upload though :)

[@entropycop]

Interest😊

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

That's interesting..I find the taklon brushes hold their shape much better than non-synthetics. However, I've never been able to afford kolinski (also being a vegesaur, I won't use them LOL), so maybe I'd be surprised.

[@MariyaPrytula]

Murf's Mess I am vegetarian as well, but unfortunately taklon doesn't hold water sufficiently for watercolor. It's been a tough decision, but it's a matter of something going into landfill and using a lot of pollutants to be created, like synthetics, or using an animal based product that can replace 50 or more of the other brushes. Once I find a product that can last as long, I will switch over, but so far I haven't seen anything that comes close. Plus keep in mind that for wider brushes, I am already on synthetics. It's the smaller sizes 1 and 0 that remain elusive in terms of longevity and performance.

[@DanceswithDustBunnies]

@@MariyaPrytula revisiting this. Have you tried the Princeton Neptune series?

[@MariyaPrytula]

@@DanceswithDustBunnies I have. Bigger brushes 4 and up are lovely, and even at the time of this video I was only using synthetics for large areas. Unfortunately 1's and 0's still wear out too quickly. So M Klessen works on miniatures with nail art brushes, but that's a little too small for my line needs.

[@MariyaPrytula]

@@DanceswithDustBunnies actually my favourite brush right now is Raphael SoftAcqua quill size 0. It handles so lovely and is really versatile.

[@fermalt]

My dog looks just like yours, except mine is brown and white. 😊

[@MariyaPrytula]

Oh yai! Collies unite
