[@thefrugalcrafter]

Awwwww! You are so kind Jennifer! Thanks for the shout out!

[@ColoringBliss]

Lindsay! I am honored that you watched my video. ❤️🧡

[@sunnycharacter]

I just bought the Floral set today at Tuesday Morning for $11.99! I can’t wait to play with them!

[@LEARNINGRELATIONSHIPWITHGOD]

When you spoke of the apple tree, and using the red, green, and the mix of the two.....that was a very helpful teaching moment! Something I’ve never heard before. Thank you so much for sharing that!

[@ColoringBliss]

So glad that you liked hearing about that. I love learning how to use color theory like that. It is like magic!

[@patriciamoore7414]

Fantastic information. I have Polychromos & some of the Pitt Pens, it's amazing how well they work together.

[@ColoringBliss]

That’s great to hear. I am really amazed that I had no idea that the colors worked so well from one line to the next.

[@mtndweller55]

That ring on your pointer finger is *gorgeous*!!!

[@momoclangford4673]

Fun fun fun! I have the Albert Ds and the Polychromoes and never knew they match!!!! Woohoo! I may just have to get the complete set too. Lol. Yes Jennifer, there is a trip to Blick in your near future. 😘

[@tonkabasnec]

My favorite coloring couple :)) love this video!

[@ColoringBliss]

You are so kind.

[@tonkabasnec]

@@ColoringBliss not at all... just honest. I just love to see your spark for coloring, you remind me of myself. I also have the FSS... you made me wish for Albrecht Dürer pencils,also. They would be a great compliment to my Polychromos. :O

[@sternenzeiten723]

🌹Thank you so much for this great video - it is a pleasure to watch........you two are wonderful together! The result surprises me too......so good to know that the Faber Castell different brands work so lovely together!😃

[@ColoringBliss]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 😊❤️

Loved watching this. One point: When you talk about Caran d'Ache watercolor pencils, it is important to stress that they have different lines of varying price and quality. Their lowest-tier line, Prismalo, is very cheap, but the colour payout is low, the colours can fade quickly, and there is no information on lightfastness for individual colors. Their mid-range line is Supracolor, which has more pigment and there are indications of lightfastness per color right on the pencil. The Museum Aquarelle line is very expensive (the one mentioned in the chat), but it has a larger core and was designed to have excellent lightfastness. The level of lightfastness for each color is indicated right on the pencil. The Museum Aquarelle line is the only line where you can look up the pigments used online. I work mostly with Supracolor (avoiding the colors with low lightfastness), but also combine them with some Museum Aquarelle, especially for certain colors.

[@ColoringBliss]

Thanks Leston for your knowledge. I love Caran d’Ache and the way they provide such clear information about their products.

[@Msboochie2]

The Caran D’Ache Museum Aquarelle are unmatched but very pricey. I only have 12 museum aquarelles, but got the whole set of Albrecht Durer for Christmas. The AD are great but not as pigmented as the. MA. The Caran D’ache Supracolors are awesome. I started out with a small set of 18, they were all I had while in the hospital for a week. I used them dry and wet and they were great both ways, and I still love everything I did with them. You can’t go wrong with any of them. The Arteza are probably a better buy than the Spectrum Noir, I got 72 for $30, the same quality maybe a little better.

[@smc9060]

Thanks for a great and helpful video. I was also curious after Lindsay’s video.

[@ColoringBliss]

I’m glad I could help.

[@marylynncox820]

I had a lot of trouble with the pencils breaking when trying to sharpen them.

[@AmazinGraceXOXO1]

Aww. You and Steve are so cute. I love it. God bless you guys.

[@ColoringBliss]

You are so sweet. We are so blessed to have people like you to support us.

[@thecoloringoasis5616]

Thank you for the video. I can’t seem to find those number eight round brushes in your Amazon store from the link here. Could you please share the link with me here as your reply? I would like to pick some of those up.

[@mmmmlllljohn]

You got the grey from the green because it is a blue green. Thanks for all the info you show us.

[@Gothikah]

I just Love your hair and your eyes! Also, this comes at the right time, I was curious about those aquablends! I got Faber castell albrecht durer from my boyfriend with christmas :D

[@ColoringBliss]

You are so kind...and lucky to have those beautiful pencils. I can’t wait to purchase the full set!!

[@sunnycharacter]

Do you have swatch pages for the SN Water color pencil sets?

[@louisescherbain312]

Faber Castell Gold Faber Aqua are very nice and match up with the FCPC’s. I really like them.

[@sunnycharacter]

Also the Primary set is also $11.99 at Tuesday Morning.

[@jenniefrench1338]

I find that my Caran d’ache are no more saturated than the Faber Castell Albright Durer so I stayed with FC also the Caran d’ache leaves the lines and they don’t disappear as nicely as FC. I do watercolor, colored pencils, charcoal, graphite and pastels. There are cheaper Faber Castell pencil known as the Pitt watercolor pencils which are nonprofessional and less saturated. Caran d ache likewise has their Supracolor which is below the Aquarelle. Most artists go for the nicely priced and professional Albright Durer. I even draw my watercolor painting with the wc pencils because I don’t have to erase when it is time to paint or if it hasn’t been wetted and you need to change something then just erase it.

[@mayloo2137]

I use mostly watercolour pencils. I bought a basic set then I have been buying single pencils by Faber-Castell/Albrecht Durer. I like thefrugalcrafter too. I subscribe to her channel, and like her ideas about drawing and painting. Edit if you're interested in learning more about color theory, and mixing colors (specifically acrylic paints), I suggest Gisele Grenier. She has lots of videos about mixing colors. I once mixed a brown according to her video which included adding yellow and green , and got a really nice chocolate brown.

[@ColoringBliss]

Thanks for the suggestion. Color mixing is a science and it’s so fun to experiment with!

[@mettainacan7813]

And guess what, Faber Castell has brought out professional lightfast watercolour markers which also are the same colours, there is only 30 but all have their corresponding polychromo pencil

[@smc9060]

Also, Jennifer, I’d say that the amazon reviews agree with you about the spectrum noirs.

[@ivonned32]

Does anyone use Mongol brand? Am I the only one😿😸😜 Found an incomplete set at a thrift store. I liked them so much I asked for two boxes for my brithday.

[@vonniedemers5683]

It's a-gee-in, like the Aegean Sea. I'm new to coloring so I'm experiementing. Do you have to use water with water color pencils or can they be used without?

[@ColoringBliss]

The water color pencils can be used dry OR wet. That makes them so versatile. They don’t blend the same as standard colored pencils, but they do a decent job.

[@kathyhall668]

Both complements have to be either warm or cold the warm with a cold will not work. ...I recall in class.

[@tonkabasnec]

I received Hero watercolor pencils set of 72 as a gift. Have you ever tried those? I would love some insight, tips and tricks. I also received Derwent procolour 72 set. What's your opinion on them?

[@ColoringBliss]

I don’t own the Hero. Do you like them? I only own 3 of the Procolour pencils. They seem like a decent pencil but they didn’t excite me enough to buy more.

[@tonkabasnec]

@@ColoringBliss Heros are little bit scratchy but medium pigmented, I guess they are ok for beginner like me. The Procolours have a wonderfull pigments but are little heavy on my arthritic hands.

[@marvelenia6702]

@@tonkabasnec Oh yes same here, my hands start to hurt. Now I use bristol vellum paper with them which makes it easer. OMS works quite well with them. If I would have known how hard these pencils are I would not have asked for them...

[@BillizMuzic]

YOU NEED A GARLIC GRATER OR JUST SOME ROUGH SAND PAPER ON A BLOCK MAYBE. COOL.

[@ColoringBliss]

Good ideas. I have a cheap citrus zester in my kitchen that doesn’t work well...that might do the trick!!

[@gaildeltufo-barrett3686]

Hi Jennifer and Steve have you seen a products called Brush yet ? They have it 3 re party seller on amazon

[@leonnehaaijman4709]

Jennifer's face when Steve quoted the price for the full Albrecht Durer set ....

[@rbdreamsart]

Were the pencils you thought were terrible that come in an art kit called Artist Loft? I bought those and they were so bad I ended up throwing them away.

[@ColoringBliss]

They may have been. I have repurposed the wood box and the pencils are unmarked so I have no evidence of what brand they were...just bad vague memories.

[@Msboochie2]

I believe Faber Castell is color indexed across lines.

[@ColoringBliss]

I am so excited to learn more about this feature of Faber-Castle. I hope I can find information on it.

[@sylvia4425]

'Two Questions: 1) Do you buy most of these materials yourself or are they sponsored by companies? 2) Are you an artist by trade or hobby? I just love your channel and have been looking for someone who shares my love for colors! 🤗❤️👍

[@ColoringBliss]

Welcome Sylvia! If you are looking for someone who is obsessed with color, you are in the right place! As far as your questions...I purchase the vast majority of my supplies and if they were gifted to me, I always mention it in my videos. I am a self taught artist. Coloring Bliss is my full time job...I am so blessed. 😊❤️

[@sylvia4425]

Coloring Bliss Thanks! AmAZing channel!!!

[@ivonep8166]

Jennifer you need to go to Germany to Faber Castell and you don’t need to speak german you’ll have so much fun it’s amazing I’m a big fan of this brand ♥️🇬🇧

[@ColoringBliss]

SOLD! Let’s go together! 😂😂😂 🇩🇪

[@maryyoungblood8550]

Professional grade at same/similar price as the student grade? Yeah the Faber Castels are definitely a better buy than the Spectrum Noirs.

[@ColoringBliss]

Agreed. Such a surprising result.

[@LEARNINGRELATIONSHIPWITHGOD]

Not sure I understand water soluble vs watercolor pencils.

[@ColoringBliss]

Water soluble means a product that changes or breaks down in when activated by water. Watercolor is a category of art. There can be water soluble products in multiple categories of art.
