😊🙏 Thank You So Much Artist Allan for the efforts & for sharing! Took many quite awhile to remembered the Stationary Shops that always teamed up with CD Rama in or near MRT Stations in the 1990s & early 2000s was Art Friend! Love visiting these physical Art & Stationary Supply Shops like Popular Bookstores & Art Friends that contained these smells from their new Art supply or stationary items that reminded many of their Schooling Days! 😊🙏🌷🌿🌍✌🕊

[@AllanJayQuesada]

My pleasure 😊 and thank you too. I love the art stores in Singapore. They're complete and not far from each other. The stores have lots to offer and the range of products is really reliable. 😊

[@PositivelyNice]

Straits Art is underrated. But my favourite is Overjoyed because I am more in the journaling realm. Thanks for visiting Singapore!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yeah definitely more art material choices for different kinds of artists at Overjoyed. Hope to be back again. Thanks you for watching. 😊

[@kether82]

Hello, glad that you use a brand made in my country. The correct accent is on the "e", Maimèri.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Oh i love Maimeri and A.Gallo also Italian. Thanks for the pronunciation correction. I will apply it when I do the review. 🙏

[@kether82]

@@AllanJayQuesada it's funny that despite the fact that Gallo is an Italian brand it's nearly unknown in Italy. Maybe they focus their marketing on the international market, their site is entirely in English. There is a famous art shop in Rome running since the first half of 1800, they sell many famous brands like Winsor and Newton, Sennelier, Schminke and Maimeri, but I've never ever saw Gallo watercolor there. They must be extra pricey I think.

Thank you for showing us your shopping for us😊

[@LULURLL]

You missed out on Drawing etc art supplies! They carry M.graham and Micheal Harding watercolours!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yeah, i was more focused on the paints. Hahaha. This was taken in June 2022. They have no Michael Hardings WC yet that time. The Mgraham, i didn't anymore take interest cause I have completed all the 70 colors already. 😊

[@LULURLL]

@@AllanJayQuesada they are having sales now! Super worth if you can get your friends to get it for you 🌈

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@LULUR wow. I will have to tell my friends. Some might also be interested. Thank you for this news. 🙏

[@rosem3577]

How can we choose a favorite?! I like them all. Thank you for taking me along on your trips.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Ahww. Thank you, Rose. 🙏 I'm glad you like them all. I am happy in all of these hauls and trips so i share it with you guys. ☺️

[@dneel468]

Hi Allen, that was so much fun to see your beautiful traveling sights and shopping! I just finishes watching them all and look forward to seeing you enjoying your new treasures. I loved all your paintings but especially that of you enjoying your friends, it made me smile to see. Can’t wait to see your next trip. Thanks for taking us along. Take care.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thanks so much, too, for watching the series. 🙏 I'm glad you liked it. It was a relief for me, after weeks of being away (since i don't usually travel that long), to see some of my closest friends. Felt closer to home. 😊 thank you. 🙏

[@pixeeblanc140]

Happy New Year Jay! Can't wait for the review!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Happy New Year too, Pixee Blanc. 😊 I'm excited to do the reviews too. ☺️

[@justacatwhocantype]

Happy New Year, Allan! 🥳 That is a huge art supply store! I have never been to a paint store that big. I do not even know whether we have such a big art supply store here in Germany. Even the biggest one that I have been to is much smaller than the one in your video. I'd really love to go and spend the whole day there. 😊

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Happy New Year, too. 🥳 You may not have big art stores as the stores in SG, but you have the one of the biggest and best paint brand, Schmincke. 😄 but, yeah, spending a day in these stores can break the bank.haha. but wait till you visit Sekaido store in Tokyo. Its a 6-storey building art store. 🤣

[@justacatwhocantype]

@@AllanJayQuesada A six floor art supply store? I think I would probably need at least a week then to look at everything. 😅 Yes, Schmincke is great, they're one of my favorites.

[@srikalaartadventures4109]

Thanks, will check out when I visit soon.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Have fun! And thank you for watching. 🥰

[@krabfingers8473]

Straits Art is a great art store especially for watercolorists! I got my full sheets of Baohong Academy from there at a very economical price. Overjoyed has a lot of Asian watercolors from Shinhan, Mijello, and Holbein.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

That's true. I honestly can't wait to be back in SG to revisit these stores. 🥰

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Great video! I can't wait to see you start reviewing and swatching brands again! The last haul Singapore was my favorite! Thanks for sharing. Much love

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thanks Nadeane. 🙏 i think, Singapore can be my favorite too. 😍 hope to start reviewing again soon. 🙏

[@PushpaNotes]

Happy new year 2023 Allan. Wow, you got a great discount on the Maimeri tube paints. They are the large ones too. You paint very nicely, so I'm glad you were able to splurge on all those tubes. It is very very exhilarating to get good deals on watercolours. :) I like to hoard only when there is a good discount. Good to know that tourists can walk to anywhere in Singapore. The jovi watercolour paints look nice. I like products local to every country. Do they charge extra at customs when you purchase paints? Don't feel guilty for buying the paints. It is an awesome feeling to hoard paints. My fav art haul is the one from Mumbai because I learned how to splurge on Camlin paints from your video. ❤❤

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Happy New Year, too. 😊 yes, I'm super fortunate to have discovered these last stocks of the old Maimeri.. plus the discount! Yes, tourists can freely roam in SgmG already. Masks on indoors for everyone. Customs don't charge unless you purchase more than 10 pcs of one kind. Atleast i didn't purchase more than 5 in each color.. so they won't charge me.hahaha. oh, the India Haul is super cheap yet satisfying enough. Indian brands are great yet cheap. 🙏 😊

[@mvdum29]

Hello Sir Allan, happy new year! Would you consider ever reviewing the Rosa Gallery artists' watercolors? Would want to hear your thoughts 😊

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Happy New Year, too! Yesss! I'm so itching to have a Rosa Gallery set since last year.. it would be exciting to compare it with white nights.. but sadly, I couldn't find a distributor here yet.. 😔

[@mvdum29]

@@AllanJayQuesada Sobrang niche po kasi niya na brand sir. But may free delivery na yung Amazon sa Philippines, parang nakita ko ata the other day :D No import fees/free shipping po siya. Natempt ako hehe

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@mvdum29 niche brand? I actually just tried now, meron siyang shipping fee na 600+ hehe. Plus ung customs handling fee pagdating dito na 112 to 240 pesos..hehe. piling shops lang yata ung free shipping.

[@creativecolours2022]

Happy New Year Allan. Maimeri are fantastic watercolours and you were very lucky that you've got them in discount. I'm looking forward for your review.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Ikr. 😁 I feel so lucky to have these at great offer plus these are the last after they've reformulated. 😊 one of my favorite tube designs too. 😍

[@moonlightgator]

Wo so many paints enjoy.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yes. 🙏 happy New Year, Julia. 🥰

[@shadowguard3578]

Happy New Year Jay! I enjoyed all the videos because I got to see a little bit of the country you visited.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Happy new year too, Shadow Guard. 🙏 I'm glad you enjoy my sketch travels. Very few watch these content of mones compared to the reviews, so thank you 2x. 😊

[@shadowguard3578]

@@AllanJayQuesada you’re welcome Jay! I love ‘field trip’ videos. I enjoy seeing different places.

[@jennywatercolor]

Hi, Ar. Allan! I'm a fellow architect and watercolorist po but I'm new to your channel. I was just wondering if you have every tried/reviewed the Etchr Lab 24 half pan watercolor set? By the way, great job on your book po!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hi Ar. Jenny. 👋 welcome to my channel. I've seen that set and the pigments it includes, and it took me to a conclusion that they just repacked the Mungyo paints. So now, I'm contemplating if I should get it pa for review.hehe. eh medyo mahal din.hehe. Thank you. 😊

[@jennywatercolor]

@@AllanJayQuesada thanks for the response po. 😊 Yeah, I've heard the same thing from another artist review na repack lang siya of another brand since apparently they don't manufacture their own products. And yes medyo overpriced nga for a "premium 👀" student series. 😅 thank you po!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@Jenny Miala yes true. If not for the price and pro claim, i can say na maganda naman ang Mungyo vibrancy and saturation wise. Pero most of the colors will fade in time. I followed you back on IG. Beautiful works there. 👏 🙌

[@jennywatercolor]

@@AllanJayQuesada thank you po! 😊😊😊

[@rdendelacruz4332]

Sana ol bili bili lungs😁🤣

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hahaha. Maramihan din naman dito ihahandpour and ibebenta eh. Hehhe 🤣 so mababawi rin. Hehe

[@annettefournier9655]

Thank you Allan. Thise Singapore shops are impressive! I don't think I can pick a favorite because they all had good things to get or try for very reasonable prices. 🤔 💜

[@juliab.8200]

Sehr schön, Du bist zu beneiden. Eigentlich musst Du täglich mind. 2 Bilder malen. 😁

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hahah. The disadvantage of having huge paint collection is the guilt of wasting them. So yes, i need to resell, and share some of them. But yes, there are days when i really paint more than 2 paintings. 😊
