Playing with *NEW* Tim Holtz Distress Watercolor Pencils

[@nancyrolfe3033]

I just found your channel because I love what I have seen you create on Tim Holtz channel. I’m a 63 year old retired teacher who has just found this amazing world of paper crafts!!! I’m in love ❤️. It’s taken awhile to figure out a “junk journal “ and other terminology but I can honestly say I like it all! I’ve spent a fortune in last couple of years on it. Thank goodness for my supportive husband! In fact he drove me the hour to the city with HL and TM for my first purchases. I’ve painted on everything from clothing to wood; bought a scroll saw; oil and watercolor paint also. Honestly nothing has been as exciting as paper crafts line of art…maybe watercolor…lol Thank you , honey, for sharing your wonderful talents with us!!! I’m so excited to get these pencils!!! I have Derwent Inktense and Carandache but there’s nothing like Distress color pallete! I’m just rambling. Really appreciate your inspiration and the time you give to share. It’s made a huge difference in my life at a time I needed it! Hugs from West Texas Nancy Rolfe

Thank you Nancy for your kind words! Sounds like you have a great husband who supports your hobby. I have the other pencils too, but you are right...the Distress palette is KEY :)

I am loved for these pencils.I use Faber Castell or Staedlet, or .Giotto too.

[@omommo73]

Hi Cheiron. Caught these pencils on sale at SSS. Lucky me. Your video gave me some additional ideas. I did like you and found a box that fit all three sets cause that's how I work too. Love the "color around a sentiment stamp" idea!!!

[@cheiron]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.

[@MrRichrichmond]

I’m so happy to see you doing a video! Great ideas. I’d love to see how they work for coloring in stamped images.

[@cheiron]

Thanks my friend! TIm has a great demo on coloring in the images. I hope to have one soon :)

[@1busybetty]

Coloring the sentiments - great idea!

[@cheiron]

Thanks so much!

[@darylbottema-adkins7957]

What a great video. I was so happy to see that you have a channel…. Your work and ideas are so fresh and inspiring. Please make more videos. Thank you.

[@cheiron]

Thank you so much! and thanks for watching!

[@KathyMcDowell]

Great idea to highlight letters of the sentiments. I love the look that gives!

[@cheiron]

Thank you! Such an easy way to add color.

[@teresahiggs4896]

I’ve been using gel pens to do these highlights…. I’ll have to try these pencils when I get them .

[@joyjoyjoyfolie]

Thank you!! I’m kinda new to the world of Tim Holtz!

[@cheiron]

Welcome!!! And thank you for watching!

[@ericastannard2635]

So much fun! It’s amazing how much a little stroke of color can add to a word, that little extra “pop” that you mentioned! Thanks for the tip on adding shading to the feather, you are sooo good with color!! I’m going to be at my desk playing with pencils! Erica❤ (I also mixed all my pencils together in a jar, I always smile when Tim mentions getting rid of the box with “stadium seating” for his crayons!) E

[@cheiron]

Thanks so much! 😊 Color is my jam!

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Love how you used the pencils to show us your ideas on using them! TFS!

[@cheiron]

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Thank you for taking the time to show us the multiple ways to use these pencils. 👍

[@cheiron]

Thank you for watching!

[@HandmadeJournalsbyFran2022]

Thank you for sharing these great tips. I just purchased the pencils and needed this video 😊

[@cheiron]

So glad it was useful! Thanks for watching!

[@anniesews]

Love how you colored the feathers and I have the feather die and can't wait for my crayons to arrive. Fun, fun video. Your ideas are just great. I like the tip below of saving the shavings from sharpening the pencils.

[@cheiron]

Enjoy your pencils! I did a few experiments with the shavings and hope to share soon :)

[@anniesews]

@@cheiron can't wait to see your experiments!

[@arlenepowders4989]

You are most welcome!

[@michelel3372]

[@cheiron]

You are so welcome!

[@dorasanchez5075]

Great tips, Cheiron. 😊

[@cheiron]

Thanks so much Dora!

[@annettereed6146]

I've never seen sentiments colored in like that. They look wonderful. Your channel popped up on my feed and I recognized you as one of Tim's makers. You do a phenomenal job!

[@cheiron]

Thank you so much!

[@marylehett1127]

Thank you! So excited to have your KZbin channel!

[@cheiron]

You are so welcome!

[@rhondareynolds8007]

Thank you for sharing these tips! I'm new to watercolor pencils and thinking that I'd really like to try these rather than other watercolor pencils I love the distress colors!

[@cheiron]

It's great to have them in Distress colors for sure!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful to see you doing a video, love these tips especially the words and feathers. Thanks so much!

[@cheiron]

Thank you!

[@susantroeter7143]

I can’t wait to play with these…Never would’ve thought to add color, the way you did, to the stamped sentiments- Really adds some oomph 🤩🖤Love it!

[@cheiron]

Thank you so much!

[@debbieatlildcrafting2670]

Love the tips and tricks and your art! TFS

[@cheiron]

Thank you so much Debbie!

[@wendyleung5137]

I’ve used your link to order the first set to play around with. I hope you’ll have videos on how you make these into cards. Thanks.

[@cheiron]

Thanks Wendy! If I don't have videos, I will share them on Instagram for sure :)

[@ellenb4218]

Wonderful! 👌🙏🏻❤️

[@cheiron]

Thanks so much!

[@irma_ortiz]

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks! I didn’t know that we could download Ranger’s color charts, now I know. I too purchased all three sets of Ranger watercolor pencils and absolutely love them! Thank you so much!👍🏽💚💙💜

[@cheiron]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@christineb6524]

Awesomeness…thanx ✌🏽

[@cheiron]

Thank you!

[@deborahbuckley9694]

Oh nice, forgot about printable swatch chart. Thanks

[@cheiron]

They always help me! I keep them in a binder :)

[@btarayao]

I didn't know you had a KZbin channel!! Yay😍

[@cheiron]

As you can see there is not much on here yet! 🤣

[@aiakhang9503]

Do you have more videos? I love your work. You need to do more videos!!!!!

[@cheiron]

Working on it!

[@tasst2674]

Thanks. I bought these and so far not impressed, but I am sure it is my learning curve. Coloring on stamps did not work well, but totally stained my stamps which drives me nuts. If anyone has any idea which stamp cleaner might help my poor stamps, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

[@cheiron]

I would give them a good play session for a few weeks. Try different techniques and surfaces too. May I ask what kind/brand of stamps you are using? Are you using them with water, because the pigment should really come off with water no problem :)

[@andygranick]

Ugh. I think I need them.

[@cheiron]

I think so too 🤣

[@pamelarickbeil1183]

Thank you for the video - I just ordered all 3 sets - can’t wait for them to arrive. Will you share what pencil sharpener you use?

[@cheiron]

Thank you...it is the Prismacolor Pencil Sharpener. You can find it here: ldli.co/e/e21z3xx

[@bethcyr6652]

Thank you for these rechniques! How did you sharpen the pencils?

[@cheiron]

[@lorenacarvalhodamasceno.5089]

I live in Brazil and l want pay for these oencils.Where l look these pencils in my Country?What Company? Or what magazine, l will go.?

[@cheiron]

[@dianacotto2545]

Are they called set 1 and so on?

[@cheiron]

Yes :) There are three sets right now so Distress Watercolor Pencils Set1, Set 2 and Set 3...

[@dupescraftingdesign7872]

Have you used them on wood?

[@cheiron]

I am not sure I would use them on wood, they are water soluble :)

[@papermunch]

New subscriber! What paper did you use with the feathers?

[@cheiron]

I used the Distress Watercolor Cardstock :)
