Thank you, Wendy, for showing us all your new treasures! Isn’t it exciting unboxing things you’ve wanted and waited for, when you finally get them? I went to art school, but left 14 years ago to have my children and raise/homeschool them. Now that they are a bit older, I have just started getting back into my art again, but sadly I’ve forgotten so much of my learning! So thus quick colour theory lesson was much appreciated 🙏🏼 thank you! xx

My wish list has Neocolour II, some much-needed brushes, and several books ( a colour-mixing volume, a techniques book, and a couple of books on artists and art movements) on it. Enjoy playing, Wendy, and I look forward to seeing how the new goodies inspire you. May you be filled with love and light. Thank you for sharing. 😘🤗

I know this is from a year ago and you may not see my comment. But it is so great seeing you go through all your oil paints and showing mixing and the different colors - My Mom was an artist and I learned everything I know from her teaching me with oil paints. I now use acrylic, colored pencils, paint markers and some water color - will be adding oils back into the mix! I also love seeing your journals as I have been keeping up with my journals too. So much more to learn, even at age 66!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

Happy Sunday sweet friend. I love the book’s especially the color book. You’ll have wonderful hrs of reading them. Lots of info on all aspects of paints/color and inspiration too. Drawing is good and I do this too. Love all those beautiful paints. I’ve never done the color palette but watching g you has made me realize how helpful this would be so I’m going to do this too. I loved your explanation on color mixing. I have been learning a lot about this as a self taught artist. I do keep the color wheel to refer to when needed. You’ve helped me a lot today. I had expensive electrical work done in my home this past Wednesday that took all day. So since I had to clear part of hall closet that acts as my pantry, cleared the left side and yesterday painted the full closet top to bottom. Now have work cut out to organize it all back again. I’ve done some journaling in my altered book this past week so that was good. I was pleased with the pages. Wendy it was so good to see your smiling face today. Made my Sunday really. Have a magical week and enjoy your new books and supplies. Much love from my house to yours.🎨🖌🧚‍♀️🧚🏻📚🌻🌺🌼🌷😘☮️❤️❤️

My wish list...my own backyard studio!!! ❤ Once I feel like I'm at the level I want to be, I would love some Michael Harding oils and Belgian linen canvas...I dream big!!! LOL!!! Painted on Belgian linen when I first started purely by accident. The girl at the shop told me wrong and rang it up wrong at just $3/yard back in 1986...my teacher about fainted!!! LOL!! Lovely texture. Currently, I just this past week made a list of the Gamblin oils I want to get so they are my next splurge...total coincidence that you also chose Gamblin. You will love their odorless Gamsol, so glad I switched to that three years ago, so much better!!! For my ultimate art wish list - save up for an art adventure in Europe!!!! I've never been out of the States and I have dreamt of painting in the UK, France, and Italy for nearly my entire life. So enjoy your videos, you feel like a close art friend, a spirit sister!!!

I was so shocked about the Windsor & Newton brush, mine are cheaper from Royal & Langnickel/have the Jumbo firm and soft sets, the wood should not move around. Wanted do a shout out as I'm an American, I feel Gamblin is the best, I use their "1980" line & their Cold Wax to varnish my watercolor paintings. (for people never heard of them, the company is from Portland, Oregon) I took an oil painting class via zoom with their brand ambassador and Pete Cole the owner was one of the host, something I'll never forget. Tip: Naples Orange & Naples Yellow are massively praised for their portraiture.

Gamvar is the only product that you can put on oil paintings before they are fully cured/dry because it is breathable and the paint won’t crack. Been using it for ages and it is excellent! I used to have to return months later to varnish but not Gamvar…apply right when dry to the touch. Yay for quality fun art supplies!!

I loved this video! I'm still not much into painting or drawing, but I would like to get there again. I used to draw and paint a lot when I was a little girl, even though I liked writing much better (I'm an economist with a writer's heard and mind), however many of my happy memories of childhood, of sweet solitude are about me drawing and sinking for hours into coloring. My artsy wishlist is pretty simple, I guess. I would like a travel kit: a small notebook with paper that can take drawing and painting (water color), a traveling brush and watercolor kit and some pencils for drawing.

I loved this! It was great conversation! Gamblin is made here in Portland, but all I have is a small jar of Gamsol and some printing 'plates' for their labels that were discarded years ago. I would love to try oils again, probably using M. Graham's walnut oil though. I quit oils back in the 80s because turps gave me such terrible headaches. I have dug out my copy of Gurney's Color and Light, too! He is such a wonderful explainer of painting! I've been watching the bears at Brooks Falls in Alaska this week. It is fascinating to see their fishing methods - and I realized that I've never sketched them before. My results are beginning to look less like dogs and more like the giants they are! Have a lovely week!

@@theunexpectedgypsy That sounds... smells wonderful! I loved all of the smells and was fine painting by myself at home until I took classes in decorative painting - 20 women squeezed into a small area with little ventilation, each with their own jar of open turps was too much. My headaches were severe. I was in an art supply a year or so later when I spied a woman looking at the oils. I made her a deal - sold my wonderful oils for $25. I didn't want the temptation. Sigh. That was back when several women who were famous in that area got very sick. They were finger painting with oils, pointing their brushes after cleaning them and just not being careful. I think it was liver damage. So one of them, JoSonja Jansen, came up with her own acrylic paint and everyone published only with instructions for acrylic. I tried that for a while and quit altogether. About a decade later, I took up watercolors and I love it! I do mess with other things now but I do love the simplicity of water-based media. I do think that once I get my studio straightened out, I just might buy some oils. We will see!

I loved seeing the mixing and playing with colors. I think I need to take a day and just play with the little paints that I have. The biggest thing on my wish list is a ceramic paint palette for my watercolors.

Thankyou for the colour theory! I had noticed the difference and muddiness certain combinations result in, but now I understand the warm, cool connection.

I loved this very informative video. I'm just getting back into painting. Acrylic and watercolor. I have books, and some really good Sable brushes on my wish list. Thank you for this video.

Thank you, Wendy. That was truly informative about the color mixing. Let's see, my art supply wishlist: orange, light blue, and violet col-erase pencils. That's my favorite thing to draw with and I am down to nubs. Other than that, I have a ton of cheapy art supplies to play with so I feel abundant with supplies right now. ✏🧡💙💜
