MUST HAVE ART JOURNALING SUPPLIES // *Mixed Media Journal Essentials*

[@erikasheehan2668]

Baby Aussie accent just kills me! What a total cutie! I watched this after I had packed up my supplies for an upcoming camping trip & had to pause & run & grab a few more things (more than once 😂), now we’ll see if I even get time to be arty on the trip!

[@danutashayler34]

Your interesting, not boring and a great help for a starter. From Canada's west side. Thank you so much.

[@beautybug1831]

Wonderful video and your son is so precious 👶💕 !!!

[@kirstyanderson9327]

Morning, I watched this vid with my morning back to bed brew....loved it. Hi Archie. Lots of KZbin adverts tho which began to annoy me, however I persevered. Thanks for sharing your top rated products... love your stencil binder!!! Might replicate for my small stash and grow it lol xx

[@KathyStacy]

Love the super black ink from ranger called archival black soot.

[@debsmith7050]

Thanks ! Wonderful ending

[@Manifesting_Secret_Sketchbook]

U know what? And of the day the background shows that you are organised. Like your journals well done you have been busy just fab

[@allyaceart5613]

Thank you algorithms that showed me your lovely channel this morning. Really enjoyed this video. I am new to the world of art journaling. I have been watercoloring for about a year. Daniel Smith is my favorite but I am in the US, so I think it is a *bit* cheaper for me. W&N are also great. If you want to play around without breaking the bank, their Cotman line is nice. Have you tried PH Martin liquid watercolors? The intensity is awesome. Like any other art supply, they get addicting to buy 😂

[@tracywalters7206]

First time watching, really enjoyed your video! 😊

[@christinewrightington7098]

I love art journals with COLOR, i hope you do a flip thru soon! , I'm getting tired of the bland neutral (that everyone is doing ) journals.

[@Jane_colmenares]

I use Winsor Newman professional grade for most of my regular colors and then fill in with Daniel Smith for specialty colors. I don’t know how easy they are for you to get. They are both highly pigmented so go a long way. The WN comes in pans. I make my own DS pans.

[@donnamartinez6201]

Love the video. What a cutie! He's going to be an artist, just like his mom! TOO ADORABLE!

[@clairehampton986]

This was a great video. I like the fact that you suggest keeping supplies to a minimum, yet everything is there that you would need. Also enjoy junk journal flip-throughs.

[@geanetteandrea]

“In a moment”… too adorable! Love just listening to you and watching you and being inspired by you and a visit from Arch is a bonus! Hope you’re doing great!

[@TartantazCreates]

One of my favourite items to use in art journaling is pastels (both stick and pan). They can be put on a page and gone over with gesso or water to make them unmovable, they can be mixed with gesso before brushing onto the page. One tip I would give is if you use something movable then simply use a brayer and brayer over the page with clear gesso or medium once you’ve used the movable item. Do not put the clear gesso directly on the page but pick it up evenly on the brayer then roll over the page. There might be some slight movement but it mostly works very well. 😊 I’ve found it great if I didn’t want my dylusion inks to move or seep through subsequent layers. T x

[@danielalondongirl933]

Does this apply to soft chalk pastels and oil pastels? Or only chalk ones?

[@TartantazCreates]

@@danielalondongirl933 I have not tried it with oil pastels, though I am not sure I would want to try it with oil pastels. Gesso is acrylic and it is not advisable to put acrylic over oils, only oils over acrylic. As far as I am aware this works with all chalk pastels, though. I hope this helps T x

[@danielalondongirl933]

@@TartantazCreates thNks so much for the tips and explanation! Gonna give it a try!

[@TartantazCreates]

@@danielalondongirl933 that’s all we can do is try and see what happens lol I’m sure I’ve got a video demonstrating what I described. Trouble is I can’t remember which one it is lol oh well never mind. Have fun whatever happens T x

[@ArtsyJuni]

I don't know if someone gave you this tip already, sorry if you have, I'm just really sleepy right now and don't have energy to read. Anyway the tip is instead of using 2 jars with water to have one to replace the other when it's too full, I've noticed many that do water colouring that they too have 2 jars, one to clean the brush in and one to get clean water from. That way you don't have to get clean water as often :)

[@PorschaWrites]

I LOVE your journals. If all you ever did was flips from now own I'd still watch with bated breath.

[@imlostnblue]

Daniel smith are great water color for individuals watercolors oh and Schmincke is also a very nice brand! Daniel Smith is definitely my favorite for individuals. As far as pallets go I LOVE prima marketing’s pallets. They are gorgeous colors and very nice water colors for the price.

[@kelleyamador8838]

That was so inspiring and chuck full and a perfect ending with your handsome little boy! I will subscribe to your channel🎆🌸🎆

[@marionginbey7399]

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us a whole month of your wonderful videos Adele. I don’t know how you do it! You are amazing and totally fabulous! I always look forward to watching you and you never fail to entertain and inspire me! I truely appreciate all you share and give so generously and love your gorgeous family. Thanks again and big squishy cyber hugs to you all.

[@lisabarnes5340]

Oh, how I'm going to miss my daily Inkie fix! Thanks so much for doing this video on getting started. I was gathering items to get started in art journaling and my head was spinning just trying to figure out gesso and medium. Look forward to your art journal class!

[@sarahelcombe]

I use a cheap spiral bound notebook which I had spilt paint on the cover and decided I may as well give art journaling a go and I’m loving it. I put a quote on each spread in my one xx

[@janaklein97]

O wow. Archie is a stunning child. I love his eyelashes! This has been an amazing month of videos. Thank you so much. It's inspired me to join patreon so i can get more of you. I'm an introvert too but listening to you i feel like we would be the best of pals if we didn't live around the world from each other. Thank you thank you

[@tiantuatara]

I did just stumble on your video, so I appreciate your approach. This was fun and useful. BTW, there were probably at least 10 ad breaks during this. That was a bit annoying. But I still enjoyed the video.

[@lindylessard5804]

This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I Loved it! I think that you gave a lot of information for new journalists as well as some for those have been journaling for years. Good job. I’ve got to go subscribe now....

[@iHanna]

SO worth watching all the way through 💕 - with the absolute cutest surprise at the end!!! My favorite must-haves for art journaling though wasn't mentioned, not sure you have any, but what about Caran d'ache watersoluble crayons? They are LUSH! I love mine SO much. Cheers!

[@kirstyanderson9327]

Not used my crayons in AGES... gonna hunt them out and do a page 👍🏼

[@edh005]

😣😣😣 Can it still be June...pretty plz? Really appreciated your thoughts on posca pens...been hovering on them for a while. Your fam are adorable, ❤ & hugs Emily.

[@tlccreates]

Daniel Smith are great watercolors but I donT use them in my journal. No need to use the best ($$$) there. White Nights are very pigmented and have full pans so you can use larger brushes, and White nights are economical. I save Daniel Smith for watercolor paper.

[@anjakritzelkram5544]

Professional watercolors are highly pigmented and a little goes a long way. My favourite brand is Schmincke Horadam as they use the same formula for their tubes and pans alike, are easy to work with and mix nicely and are easy to get for me as a german. Other professional brands will give a little different, but none the less a high quality experience. Daniel Smith offers a wide range of colors including ones made of minerals, I have some pans and tube sets. Qor is a nice brand as well. But when you don‘t use your artist grade acrylics but the dollar store ones in your journal you may not want to invest in a professional watercolor brand just to not touch them. Prima Marketing paints are similar to Jane Davenport sets, also the brand Mungyo, here in Germany we have a brand called Jaxon which sells similar paints, they are manufactured in Korea. White Nights are a good deal here in Germany, they are artist grade, sometime a little opaque but nice to use. Many like Mijello for their vibrant colors, for me the experience was very similar like the White Nights but they might easier to find for you. A very nice high quality student grade paint are Van Gogh, they have some nice sets, including one with only pinks and purples.

[@rachaelbath6650]

Thank you Adele. I have loved your June creations. I just want to make all the thing...now to make some time 🤪🤦‍♀️

[@kristymounsey3941]

I need your 101 class on mixed media.

[@ninacox6865]

He’s getting so big. Loved the video. Thanks

[@andiecurlybooks]

Archie has grown up to be such a cute little dude! Loved this video, just as I do all your videos!

[@wendybellhouse5731]

Miss 10 and I have really enjoyed the Inkie June Marathon, thank you 🙂

[@erinc4550]

I dont know if it's already mentioned in the comments, but you can get a daniel smith swatch sheet set for about $30 aud (i'm in melbourne and i got mine from a fine art supply store). They have the full colour range in little dots which actually last a suprisingly long time, and it helps you identify which colours are worth spending the big money to buy the whole tube. Definitely worth looking into, i love mine

[@victoriousvalentine9779]

Found the scissors. In Australia at Superbuys warehouse $3.99!

[@TartantazCreates]

I love my Daniel Smith watercolours. As for my ink pad. I love using versa ink not just black but the colours too. I’ve been away from art journaling for a little while. I’ve been concentrating more on my fine art portrait work but I’m itching fit my art journaling back into my life too. So I’m watching your video out of curiosity as I’m very familiar with all art supplies (believe me I could probably open my own art shop lol) and what I like to use for my art journaling. I just love seeing what other creatives love to use too. 😊 Creative sparkles from Scotland 🥰 T x

[@doubledenimdays2418]

Oh my gawd what a cutie! Meanwhile, can anyone tell me WHERE they get their beautiful patterned NAPKINS/SERVIETTES from? I only have my much loved Jane Davenport ones but my journal is in danger of turning into a Davenpeep fangirl scrapbook. Also, along the same lines, any suggestions for lovely printed VELLUM? I feel like this might be more specialised & limited to online from art stores. I have some on the way from Maremi’s Small Art but I already know I’m going to cry out for more in my sleep. As for watercolour suggestions, look up Lindsay the Frugal Crafter + Watercolour on YT. She will tell you everything you want to know & then some. But you’re right... Dan Smith is the crowd favourite. Great video, thank you for taking the time!

[@danielalondongirl933]

Black and white pens are very -versatile/handy/useful?? Mattify is a word yes and think glossiness was the word. Thanks for the useful supply tips for a true beginner like me! Which black pen can i write with over paint (micron pens got ruined from that) and to seal id need gesso or sealant..right? Collage acrylic, soft pastels. And are oil pastels notoriously hard to fix in a journal? Sorry for all the questions

[@joyfulreader1857]

I would love to do crafting but I am soo busy trying to reorganize my house and my library of stuff! TFS

[@saarvw3041]

Great tips! I'm a beginner in all creative things, so this video is very handy! I really want to start art journalling, but I simply don 't know where to start. I get overwhelmed with possibilities and I freeze. Do you have any tips for that?

[@shaynaraine3957]

Kuretake GANSAI TAMBI Watercolors are the bees knees. :) You can find them on Amazon. They come in sets of 12, 36, etc, and you can purchase individual refills if needed. Highly recommended. And they are very affordable. About a US dollar per full sized pan.

[@Goldglitter_girl]

Archie is super cute!!!!! Great video... I am an OG Inklet so familiar with your supplies but I loved watching you! Thanks !

[@joiedefi]

Hello from England, great to catch this

[@kimmicham6728]

Absolutely adored watching the Inkie June Marathon! I love the look of gelli prints. Have you done any videos on how to gelli print?

[@mandy.austin]

Watercolors: I use a mix of sennelier, winsor and newton daniel smith and lukas and i love them all. Also i have been using tombow markers to watercolor with lately. Really fun. Honestly it is much cheaper to buy tubes and squeeze them into pans. The tubes last for years and refill your pans at least 5 times and loose pans are very cheap. I like irit landgraf for a watercolour youtuber. By the way i have found a dual tank water pot like you see in art supplies stores for only $6 at my local kmart. Bargain! I also am convinced our beloved uniball signos had a bad run a while back and i still get one, once in a while....

[@donihcrafts]

Oh my, your son is beautiful!😍🎀

[@sherelynwhite4130]

Just found your channel Alice. So nice to hear someone speak of things that have been common to me all my life. I see faces and animals and elementals in trees, rocks, and clouds. Dragons are regularly in the clouds here where I live. Animals are in the lava rocks at the ocean's edge. Love your story about your personal dragons assistance. Besides telling your personal dragon to help you, it is also important to address the person who is trying to put the shame, blame, or guilt on you. Tell them how their words make you feel and that they will need to find more loving ways to communicate with you. This behavior from others is not something we should tolerate more than once. I say, three strikes, and you are out! Thanks for the video. It was much enjoyed!✨️🧚‍♂️🌳

[@tinaknoell2401]

Hi Adele, I never tire of your videos! Thank you so much for the Inkie June Marathon! Loved every moment! The little visit at the end with Archie was icing on the cake for the month and for this video!

[@69Sugah]

I am happy I came across your channel. Thank you for sharing your art journal "must haves" and now I have to binge watch to see your creative process to get a sneak peek at your Journaling pages. Thank you for sharing and your son...ADORBES🥰. I'm now a subbie.👍

[@janne5542]

“In a moment...” ❤️❤️❤️

[@anitayodermarshall2561]

I love, love, love your videos, but the past few months, I simply can't hear what you're saying. Please, if you're able, increase the volume on your videos.

[@sometimesiwander7146]

Excellent video! Thanks for all the information. I’m a newbie to the art journals tho luckily I have most of the supplies already. Lol. The only thing you didn’t mention & that I personally love are fountain pens & fountain pen inks. Your son is absolutely adorable. He made me miss my kids & my grandkids which is ironic bc that is who I am going to make the journals for. I subscribed to ur channel & I am looking forward to watching ur other videos. The only issue I had is that I am hearing impaired & didn’t always get the names of your supplies & could not read the names of them on the tools themselves. Thanks again for the information & sweetness overload at the end. It’s just wonderful that you are sharing ur creative talent with your son too. Peace & blessings.

[@Julie-vy3oz]

White Nights are lovely, very affordable watercolors -great for journaling.

[@iHanna]

I agree! They're great colors.

[@Teufelzkoch]

Loved the Video! It gave me a few smile-Moments…. But -and dont be jealous- Archie made me smile the most! Love him! And you of course!

[@DogplayBDA]

daniel smith are lovely i started with one or two specialty colors, then I got a few from an Etsy seller who makes half pans Artistic Katt, but I would recommend the dot chart it will give you a good idea of the colors you really need in your life

[@ronelia.creative]

Loved this thank you! Have you seen/considered starting to use the Storyline Chapters album and inserts by Heidi Swapp? Seems right up your alley

[@MandaFandaa]

I adore your personality. You seem like such a fun human. :)

[@emptynestscrapper961]

Here’s my 2 cents about watercolor. From what I’ve read Daniel Smith are top notch as well as Schmincke. They are professional grade, that are light fast. That is, your work would not fade if hung on a wall. If your plan is to incorporate watercolor into your journals, you don’t need to invest in light fast paints. I am NOT a watercolor artist, but I’ve done a lot of research before selecting my paints. If you’re interested in learning about watercolor check out Lindsaythefrugalcrafter on KZbin. She’s awesome😀.

[@ChelleBeeby]

💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 I've really appreciated being about to spend June with you and all your amazingness... thank you!

[@koriefrith7384]

Boy you have so many adds in your video. I had to stop watching.

[@gloriawymer2321]

Thank you for doing the Inkie June Marathon for us. Enjoyed it immensely.

[@anadarch7663]

One of my most favourite vids!

[@jillash7495]

I am really enjoying your video but the amount of adverts in it is driving me crazy!! I don’t mind a couple but it’s getting silly!! There are 14 ads in this video..I gave up part way through :S

[@sometimesiwander7146]

A 30 minute show on national tv has 8 minutes of ads. Ads drive me a little nuts too, but I figure maybe the ads provide the income that helps feed her family & allows her to give us the free information. I remind myself of that every time another ad starts. It makes it much more palatable that way. Plus I am usually taking notes so it gives me a chance to catch up. Lol. I might start going one step forward & forwarding her videos to the arts & crafts stores I like to shop at so that hopefully they will sponsor her & the ads I will see in the future will be ones that are relevant to me & maybe offer a promo code I can use to purchase something fun for my crafting habit. In fact I intend to do exactly that right now. No time like the present. And as much as I hate how we as a society have turned into a never ending subscription universe I can see that youtube might be the one subscription I would get a lot of mileage out of & never having to see ads would be a blessing imo. Lol. Of course I am now on the wrong side of 50 so to me every second is precious so ads are probably more annoying to me than most ppl in general. Lol. Personally I blame the airline industry. They monetized it. Making us pay extra for something that should have been included with our ticket. Now we have to pay not to see ads. (Streaming services, Duolingo, youtube, etc) The world is upside down. Now we subscribe to things on a monthly basis until we die.

[@donihcrafts]

I have found that Lukas brand watercolors in the tubes are very affordable and you can buy the pans empty, then fill and dry for your own sets, keeping the tubes (wet), for refilling! True colors in a large range. Thank you so much for all of the information you shared! Your personality is so fun! I look forward to watching more!

[@Charlievintage2808]

What is the difference or reason for the preference between using markers/pens versus paint pens? (Other than one is paint lol)

[@iHanna]

Paint pens go on top of EVERYTHING really, including acrylic paint etc.

[@plicketyplunk]

You are so cute! And talented!

Daniel Smith watercolours are the best of the best. Totally worth the money, super pigmented and just 😍

[@ehrikalord1340]

Delightful 💚

[@CreativeSherry]

I have been watching your channel awhile and love your art journaling videos. Thanks for this video. I am always looking at the supplies that other art journalers love to use. I love using watercolor in my journals and do invest in Daniel Smith watercolors, especially their granulating and genuine colors. But for art journaling - I found that Winsor & Newton Cotman brand (student quality) and Van Gogh are great brands and cheaper than DS.

[@misskittycolada]

hi! I am a mixed media artist too+painter (acrylic and watercolor) and my favourite brands are Daniel Smith (a lot of granulating colors that create great textures, and some have too pigments that separate a bit when dry like Moonglow, it is just magical) and Holbein (japanese, beautiful quality)

[@1771bubba]

I would love to just sit for hours and look at your Journals! The colors and textures! I love handwriting and lettering, Calligraphy! Oh my goodness, I could absorb your Journals for a long time!🖍📚✂️📖✒️📕🖌

[@natalierice6528]

I love watercolors. Daniel Smith's are wonderful, but very pricey. My favorite professional watercolors are Turner's from Jerry’s Artarama. Very affordable (at least here in the US) and they run great sales on the sets several times a year. If you want to learn more about watercolors, I recommend Thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich or The Mind of Watercolor. Thanks for always putting so much in your videos.

[@pamkenel7534]

[@marymogck7841]

Would love a Mix Media 101 class, you have shared so much information about the different products. Thanks so much.

[@karenjoy9997]

I really love all your journals. Great job. So much fun to watch you! I have a tip for you. I noticed your pages sticking a bit. Take a generic candle and rub it over the surface of a page that is all finished. It will keep pages from sticking together. Pages will be easy to flip through! Great journals, and video too!

[@bevlewis5007]

I was making a scrapbook background while watching this and as I was picking things up to use, you were mentioning them lol! I also did splatters, which went everywhere, just as you said about your splatters going everywhere! Thank you so much for this marathon, it has been brilliant and I am really going to miss a video every day. Archie is just too cute (and extremely handsome - those eyes!) xx

[@melissaobrien3650]

I am a little behind (like 2 weeks!!) on the June Marathon, but I WILL be catching up. I have loved what I have seen and you can be sure that you will get thumbs up from me! Thanks for doing this for us Adele. I love that my family just know who I'm listening to when I put you on :)

[@michellesauve6778]

Thanks for sharing, this video was full of great information. I love Ranger Archival Inks as a permanent ink. Can you share the name of the tear/rain drop stencil you use?

[@biancakarlakoch8452]

I love Jane Davenport watercolours - just like you. I also use Daniel Smith as their ability to have some gorgeous effects are second to none. Check out Cindy Lane Art - she uses them all the time and makes stunning work with them.
