MINI ART HAUL | calm swatching as art therapy after a difficult week • pens, pencils, paints

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

It's been a really hard week for us, so I decided to spend some time today playing in my sketchbook with a handful of new art supplies I've purchased over the past couple of weeks. I've added to my Molotow acrylic paint marker collection, bought four new paints, and a few other pens and coloured pencils too. I felt so relaxed during this swatching session and it really helped to cheer me up a bit. I hope you're all doing well this week and that you enjoy the video. Natasha xxx

[@miriammoore1261]

Be well. GOD BLESS.

Sorry..I’m a bit late seeing this. I’m a new subscriber but I’m sorry for your sadness.

[@kriksis]

Thank you so much for mentioning me over and over!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

You're very welcome! 🧡 And I love that feeling too - I feel like that when I watch your videos. :)

[@kriksis]

@@NatashaNewtonArt Thats so sweet of you to say!

[@Cerydwyn87]

I'm sorry to hear that you and Dominic have been having a tough week; I hope things start getting better. Playing with new art supplies definitely helps. Thank you, as always, for sharing your hauls with us and watching out the fantastic products. Take care! 💚💚💚

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Nikki. 🖤 It really did help to take my mind off things. I'm so glad that you enjoy these videos! x

I'm so sorry it's been a sad week! I wish I had one of those magic wands lying around, for each and every one of us facing difficulties at the moment. Thank you for a peaceful moment of swatching! 🍵

Sorry to hear about your hard week Natasha🌺 biggest hug your way thanks for sharing this video🙌🌺🙌

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Deborah. 🖤 Thank you for watching! It was a pleasure to film. :)

[@cristina8928]

Your videos are like a dream. I found your wonderful channel last March and from that moment, thanks to you, after 20 years, I have been drawing or painting every day. I'm so grateful, thank you so much. I was a kid in the 80s, loved so much neon colours... I think I could be seen from the moon. I'm wishing you all the best.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you, Cristina! When I read comments like this it makes me realise why I have a KZbin channel. :) I'm so glad that you're drawing and painting again!

[@daisiesandsunflowers5587]

Hello Natasha. I'm sending good thoughts to you and Dominic and hope that life becomes less sad and challenging soon. It is hard to remain focused on positive things when your heart is sore, but this art swatching was such a soothing video for my peace of mind in my life. So thank you for sharing this, even when you were feeling down! Reaching out to others is the hardest thing when we're sad, but always seems to help us through💝

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks so much, Leah. I really appreciate your kind words. 🧡 x

[@sarah_hedges_creates]

I am so sorry you have had a sad and hard week this week, sending lots of support. Art is the best kind of therapy. Thank you for a lovely informative video as always. Your recommendations are always great and I always come away with a list of beautiful supplies to add to my wish list x

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much, Sarah. 🧡 x

[@peteinuk]

So sorry you have had a bad time Natasha - life is joy and grief to us all to remind us we are mortal! Just wanted to say how much you give us joy with your posts - I have found a similar style to yours and it has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression - now I can't wait to sit at the table to continue with my little paintings and I become mindful for a while - which helps to calm the brain! So thank you! Helen xx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

This is so lovely to hear, thank you Helen! xx

[@hiimlolo4140]

I'm having quite a hard time lately... I really needed a Natasha Haul 'n swatchin'

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I hope things get better for you very soon. 🖤

Oooh that green gold is FABULOUS I can’t wait to see it in your work!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm excited to use it!

[@bethbleas8378]

Whatever has saddened your heart this week....I am so sorry... I have found that doing art lifts my heart in time like this... I wish that for you... Do it for hours or for small bits of time as needed.🐼

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much Beth, I appreciate that. 🖤 x

[@megperry5586]

Lots of love to you! Beautiful colors and your enthusiasm is so contagious. I love working on my projects while listening to and watching your videos, I feel like I am part of an artist community.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks so much, Meg! 🧡 I love that feeling of community that KZbin can bring, and the way it helps us all to connect with each other. Being an artist and working alone for much of the time can feel quite isolating.

[@vivvv2630]

Love your videos and the total flashback to our 80’s neon socks. Totally with you there! 😂😂😂

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm sure we both looked the absolute business at the time. 😂

[@tjasonwilliams]

So sorry to hear about your hard week. Hoping you and Dominic have better days ahead. The bright green and pink pencil absolutely reminded me of the 80s over here in the States. I had several Swatch watches with those colors. Ha! Thank you so much for sharing your artwork and especially your swatching videos. I absolutely adore them!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Ah yes, Swatch watches! I loved those (never had one but wanted one!). I'm so glad that you're enjoying the videos Jason, thanks for watching!

[@lizhart81]

I'm glad you found some respite from the situation that is troubling you. I find art to be really helpful when I'm going through something difficult, both as a bit of an escape and sometimes a method of working through things. I always enjoy a good haul, despite the potential hazard to my bank balance, they're so relaxing it's like chatting with a friend. With regards to neon, it always reminds me of junior school discos - I had a couple of pairs of shiny black cycling shorts, one with a neon green stripe down the outer leg, and the other with neon pink. Whichever pair I decided on was paired with a neon t shirt of the opposing colour, and of course the obligatory odd green/pink socks and double pink and green scrunchies! It was considered an extremely stylish look by myself and my fellow 8-11 year olds at the time.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I love the sound of your 80s outfit! I bet you looked amazing. :)

[@AA828]

Today is a difficult day after a week of mourning the Queen. She was an example to us all living in a world with such severe and extreme changes that are often difficult to bear. I truly cannot think of a world leader that I respect as much as I have her. Thank you Queen Elizabeth for setting this example. I hope that the world and its leaders will take her lead and emulate her style and grace. Natasha, thank you for yet another calming video that is wonderful at calming the soul.

[@Calibizaro]

Gosh lady... you are AWESOME at choosing muted palettes! I hope things getter for you guys, and the storm passes over quickly!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you. 🧡 We lost a close family member this week and it's been hard.

[@Calibizaro]

@@NatashaNewtonArt that's never an easy thing. I'm so sorry for your loss!

[@debsllewelyn230]

Thanks for making this video for us even though you've had such a hard week. Sending 💚 to you and Dominic. Good to hear you broke your ban though 👏 Loved the Hunter's Green pen and yes I used to wear lumo pink and green odd socks in the eighties too, with matching towelling wristbands :-D I also had a towelling sweatband which I thought was the height of fashion... SNAZZY!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Debs. 🧡 And yes! The towelling wristbands...I'd forgotten about those! x

[@nathangrady8128]

Thanks for still posting and cheering me up even though you had a bad week ! I’m loving the acrylic pens!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks for watching, Nathan! I really love working with the acrylic pens - they're available in such gorgeous colours too.

Thank you, Marta. 🖤 xx

[@adriannabcustomfurniture]

I'm sorry you guys had a rough week. We love you and your videos, but we also understand you're human and have a lift outside KZbin. I don't like watching swatching videos. Yours are the only ones I'll watch haha. You can clearly tell how much art is a therapy for you. It is for me as well. I hope things get better for y'all 🖤 we'll always be here no matter how many videos you make, so don't feel pressured to do so! 🖤

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

That's so lovely, thank you Adrianna. I really appreciate that. 🧡🧡🧡

[@michelleseaton2417]

First, towling socks is a brilliant name for socks....I had to look it up.Towling/ Tube Sox(states) in Neons, yes!!!!! I was positive that neon colours were magic at the time. Seems like they still are. Thanks for a great haul and all the marvelous greens!!!!

[@pinkcloud3126]

Yess, you got the chartreuse! :D I personally love that it's so bright and lightfast at the same time.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

What a brilliant colour!

[@louisebourne5779]

Hello Natasha, I’m sorry that you and Dom have had a tough week hoping you have a better week ahead. I brought the pith sketchbook it’s lovely. Loving your colour palette. I have about two of the Molotow acrylic pens they are lovely. Like the look of the micron pens I have a few black ones but not the coloured ones. Anyway looking forward to your next video and wishing you and Dom all the best xx

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much, Louise. 🧡 xx

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Hi Natasha! Sorry to hear you’ve had a sad week. Things have been a bit tricky this end for a while too but your videos always help to inspire and relax so thank you 😊 As for fluorescent socks, yes I remember them well - although could never quite bring myself to wear odd colours! 🤣🤣 Take care 😊💜🥰

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm so sorry to hear that you're having a tricky time too, Sarah. 🖤 It's so funny how many people remember the fluoro socks (it tried to autocorrect fluoro to flour just now, ha ha!). xx

[@akaErma]

I was a kid in the early 90s so the neons were still very much alive growing up. I wish I could forget lol.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

NEVER FORGET THE NEON.

[@akaErma]

@@NatashaNewtonArt I can't, they're seared into my eyeballs lol.

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

Loool I remember the 80’s. I had glow belts as well and the choose life oversized shirt with glow lettering. Had every glow sock colours and the strange rubber shoes that looked like lattice. Aaaah fun times.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I remember those shoes! I had a bag like that too. 🤣

[@THEMAYQUEEN1]

@@NatashaNewtonArt lol nice!! 😁

[@deniseneville5365]

Chartreuse is an alcolic drink, very herbal tasting, good in cocktails and comes in green and also yellow. The pencil looks very like the yellow one!

[@oh.journals]

Omg, I just orded Molotow markers today, I'm so excited to see you using them. I'm sending you a lot of warmth and love

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much. 🖤 And I hope that you love using the markers as much as I do!

Great video, I love that Holbein grey, it’s almost like a charcoal colour.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

It's beautiful, isn't it!

[@catherineraper]

@@NatashaNewtonArt It is, charcoal or ash black as I call it is one of my favourite shades. It’s still got movement in it instead of straight black.

So sorry about ur week I hope things r much happier from here on out.so glad u got the green gold it is a very nice color,and some very pretty pencil colors as well,thanks for taking the time to do a video I love ur videos they r so relaxing like I'm just relaxing with a friend❤

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Amber, I do actually think of all the people who watch my channel and who I communicate with regularly on here as friends. 🧡 It's a lovely community!

[@JoAnneMOwens]

Im so sorry you have hit a rough patch, Natasha, I hope things get better with the passage of time. I wanted to mention that the watercolor pencils act differently on different papers. I have not seen the residual pencil marks on the paper I have used…they just liquify instantly with water, leaving behind beautiful color! 😍 I think I will experiment and test several sketchbooks to see what they do.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Jo Anne. 🧡 We lost a close family member this week and it's been a very difficult and sad time. x I'm going to try the Museum Aquarelle pencils on different papers and see what happens!

[@JoAnneMOwens]

@@NatashaNewtonArt Losing a close family member is always hard. Please know I feel for you and Dominics family X

[@ilaria_m87]

I have a dot card with the MaimeriBlu Green gold and I absolutely love it, I'm going to buy the full tube. It pairs really well with Derwent Meadow in the graphitint collection.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

I'm so glad I bought the tube, it's such a gorgeous and versatile colour!

[@amandathon5352]

Positive thoughts to you Natasha. Thank you for sharing! If you are looking for some "happy paints" I recommend Beam Paints a First Nations paintmaker from Canada. I recently got a environmentally friendly set and they are extremely pigmented. Many colors up your alley too! Kind Regards.❤️‍🩹

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you so much, Amanda. 🧡 A couple of people have recommended Beam paints to me now and I hadn't heard of them before! They sound lovely. :)

[@Bonnie10au]

Sorry to hear that you have a hard time. I hope things are getting better soon. Another youtuber (cannot remember her name) said that pencils layer better on regular gouache than on acrylic gouache because of the binder in the acrylic gouache. Maybe that helps. When I use the Museum Aquarelles I get rid of all the pencil strokes and end up with a smooth application. I used them on 100% cotton paper and pastelmat so far. Maybe you are too heavy handed with them. Loved your swatch video as always. So relaxing! I like the voiceover instead of just music.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Silke! I think that it's the type of paper I'm using that is causing the issue with the Museum Aquarelle pencils (although I did quite like the effect!). At least this is what a couple of other people have said. So I will try them on different paper and see. But I was very impressed with them!

[@indigosky9578]

The fluorescent odd socks! Yes, I remember them well. And the plastic shoes! My friend and I tried to start a new trend by swapping shoes so they were odd too but for some strange reason the trend never caught on 😆

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Yes, the plastic shoes - and the bags! I had a plastic fluorescent yellow bag and one of my teachers insulted it. 😂

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

Always lovely to see another art haul video,but so sorry to hear you've had a tough week,I hope you and Dominic are both okay and are helping each-other through and with the added support of friends and family around you too and that you are able to come out the other side a little stronger,you are both in my thoughts. No harm in breaking our own self imposed bans now and then,the green gold was work breaking it for,it is a an amazing colour that I know will really enhance your artwork. So happy you love the molotow markers,these have been a staple for me for a few years now,and I love that they are refillable and so highly pigmented to,perfect for mixed media. Ivory white is a white I really love as a mixig colour as it can be both warm and cool depending on what you are mixing it with,it's a really versatile white. I love the pigma micron pens,but not in black but in sepia,as they are great for mixed media,I think if you tried them in sepia you'd love them too. It's great to hear your insights and reasons for choosing colours,and you can see how you may use them with other colours in your artwork.You really do have such a natural gift for choosing colours and putting palettes together. Sending hugs to you and Dominic. (Matt) P.s Arlebean (Arleesha) just released a video on her channel reviewing the handmade paints from Trupti at Blue Pine Arts and there are some colours I think you would really love,when I watched the video I though Natasha would love those colours,including one named after Trupti herself!.

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thank you for your kind thoughts, Matt. 🖤 I'm glad that I broke my ban too; the Green Gold is going to be perfect for my new landscapes! If I use the Micron pens a lot, I will definitely look into getting the Sepia too, as I love that colour in general. I saw Arleebean's video about Blue Pine Arts and I thought the paints looked gorgeous!

[@Vanitasmortedigital]

@@NatashaNewtonArt My Flexispot daesk arrived today,Craig and I will put it together tomorrow,But I have a sense of how much having this desk will change things for me,as I know it alreday has for you,I hope you and Dominic are both doing okay,and that your togetherness wil help get you through,take care both of you.

I hope the troubles of the past week started slowly lifting off. This is a weird time we are living in. Showing support within these communities we build together [creators & viewers] is all we can do. Sending you hugs!! Thank you for sharing all these beautiful colours! Btw I didn’t quite catch it, did you get the Molotow markers also from that other online shop you mentioned in the beginning of the video? For some reason I had trouble finding most open stock colours on Jackson’s. 🧡 Also forgot to say you may find the Museum Aquarelle pencils even more beautiful on another paper, here the pigment didn’t seem to move as well as they usually tend to do. And thanks for the shout out! 🧡

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Thanks Alyona, we lost a close family member this week, so it's a very sad time. 🧡 I love the art community on here that we're a part of (and by that I mean all of the lovely kind & supportive people, not the ones who appear to be a part of the art community but are actually on here only to leave negative comments and correct us, without ever saying anything positive). ;) I managed to get some Molotow markers from Cass Art as well in the end! Have a look there, but they seemed to not have all of the colours. I am going to try the Museum Aquarelle pencils in my Strathmore sketchbook - I have a feeling that they will behave differently on that paper. :)

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

@@NatashaNewtonArt my condolences! 🧡 Come to think Cass Art was the first ever shop I discovered when it comes to art supplies, the one in Soho. That was like 15 years ago… 🤓 Wonder if it’s still there. Then when I moved to Hampstead and they opened a beautiful Cass Art shop there I was in heaven, loved to pop in and explore all the art supplies and different brushes and tools and get home and start creating. 😍🧡

Natasha thank you long week for me too and i thoroughly enjoyed this! What type of sketchbook is that may i ask? I like a bigger size that lies flat. Thank you!

[@NatashaNewtonArt]

Hi Lynn! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. :) I did put the name of the sketchbook on screen early in the video, but you must have missed it - it's the Oroblanco from Pith.
