QOTD: What art supplies should I test out next? Sorry for not posting much lately. I have had so many other projects going on which have taken up a lot of my time but by next month I will be able to make a lot more videos. I am really excited to be working with Strathmore on a workshop for their website, which will be on draw realistically in charcoal and is being released mid March 😊

[@lenaf7530]

Maybe Copic Markers or Sketchbooks?❤

[@FZBck]

I really hope you'd try two things : _ Winsor and Newton pigment marker because I've heard they lighfast. _ Holbein colored pencils And I really want to see you reviewing these

Faber Castell water graph pencils! And the arteza water pens!

Hey Kirsty, I’d love to see you using the Canson Mi-Tientes paper and either or both Polychromos pencils or pastel pencils! For me they are magic but I’d love to see what you would be able to create with them. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next video xxx

[@nandinimajumdar8360]

You're undoubtedly the best artist in the universe! I've seen all of your videos, but can you do some videos to actually showcase your art? Maybe even speedpaints? Just so we can sit back and appreciate your talent :)

Very accurate assumption in my opinion.

Thank you so much for testing these out and for your honest review. I was considering ordering the half pan set only just a few days ago. The prices seem like they are really too good to be true so I'm happy that they live up to the descriptions (as well as the reviews). I will definitely be purchasing some.

[@sharonmiller7545]

Kirsty, you've done a splendid job on this butterfly. Love it. Been thinking of trying Arteza watercolor since I'm diving back in to learn it more. I was always a pencil, charcoal, colored pencil, markers kind of girl. But my love is starting to grow with watercolor. Thank you for the review!

[@virenf9824]

amazing work!!! yay, i was thinking of starting watercolors ,that aren't watercolor pencils , and these seem really good, and the piece of art work is amazing!! great video!

[@mjpete27]

Wonderful video, as always! Thanks, you gave a great review of these products, I have also bought several of the Arteza supplies and have been very happy with my purchases as well, paper, paint pens, watercolor brush marker/pens, acrylic paints even their gouache paint! That would be another good painting idea mixing the gouache and regular watercolor paints.

[@-ak0-324]

Your sooo good at the watercolor paintings!!

[@mariaturner371]

Personally for me I don't like the Arteza brand. I first got into watercolor last year and have fallen in love with it more than when i paint with acrylics. I've tried their watercolor pencils and found myself getting frustrated because I couldn't layer them without seeing some of the grain of the pencil marks. I tried also their brush pens that they sell separately and I found that I didn't like them because even when I squeezed very lightly to add more water to the brush i found the water pooled out of the brush pen. I had a friend try these products out also who has been drawing and painting since she was a little girl and she agreed with me that this brand was not really a good brand. I have concluded with my own research and this video that this brand is good for beginners to start off with to get to understand the different water color products out there but I would not recommend them for those of you who have a better understanding of watercolors. As for your next review video Kristy I would love to see you try out the Derwent Intense watercolor pencils vs Caran d'Ache Museum Aquarelle watercolor pencils. Thanks so much in advance and your videos are always inspiring!

[@pallythelavendermenace]

Really? Have you tried their woodless watercolour pencils? I tried them and they’re my absolute favourite!

[@HarleyWithWings]

Wow... I'm seeing a lot of comments bashing Arteza... I have all these products and I am in love with them! ....Well, except for the watercolor pencils. But that's just because I prefer not to use pencils in general. And honestly, just because you prefer using other products from other brands, does not mean this brand is any less in quality for other people.

[@luciferfaust]

I'm surprised too. Arteza's whole schtick is that they have affordable supplies for beginner to intermediates. It's not going to be amazing quality but I have a lot of their products now and they work much better for me than most of what I can find locally.

[@SheenaBrown444]

Harley Lynn I keep seeing mixed reviews on their watercolor paper, especially on Amazon. Do you have their watercolor paper and if so how do you like it? tia! 🙏🏼

[@HarleyWithWings]

@@SheenaBrown444 I have their premium watercolor paper. And even though it doesn't buckle as much as my mixed media paper, I find it's way too absorbent. I'm a big fan of the wet on wet technique, and it absorbs the water too quickly to really get the colors to bleed out how I want them too for those softer blends. I mean, I can't say too much bad things because Im still new to watercolor, but it does sometimes feel like Im paint on a thick papertowel. 😅 I can't remember, but I think what Kristy used in the video was their expert paper? So I would go for whatever she used. Or find something else entirely. I've heard the Strathemore 500 series is really good. Hope this helps! 😊

[@SheenaBrown444]

Harley Lynn it does, thank you!

[@justacatwhocantype]

I agree that many Arteza products are fun to use, and I personally would not call any of them bad, at least not the ones that I have tried. And yes, quality in the sense of how much fun one gets out of using something, is a subjective thing. But there is also an overall quality that is objective, and objectively speaking, Arteza products are of lower quality than many of the products by the well established art supply companies like Winsor & Newton, Faber Castell, Schmincke, Daniel Smith and so on. And considering what Arteza products cost when compared to artist grade supplies, this difference in quality is to be expected and it is totally ok. I think that in the comments here, people are not so much trying to say that they totally hate Arteza, but they are mostly a little upset at the fact that in the video, Arteza products are portrayed to be en par with artist grade products, and this is simply not true.

[@j.walker8874]

I'm glad your back Kirsty, we understand how busy you must get. Do you work with acrylic paint aswell? Could you also do a comparison of ohuhu markers as a cheap alternative to other more expensive brands as I'm a beginner and looking in to them as an option. Also is there info on where you go online to collect your reference pictures. Butterflies are my fave... stunning end result x

[@isabellabihy8631]

In continental Europe, the brand "Jaxon" also has a swatch for the artist quality of watercolours, including a lightfastness information, and the packaging of the pans contains pigment information. Like, which pigments are used in a certain color. I like this brand because it is moderately priced. A set of twelve colours is just short of €20. Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion. I am not a representative of this brand.

[@TheNativeHorses]

I noticed you used a pretty thick layer of masking tape.. maybe the paper didn’t work well with that thickness? Even my arches paper tore when I was using thick layers, now I’ve learnt to do VERY thin layers and I haven’t had a rip yet! I’d imagine it would be pretty hard to get a thin layer with a maker rather than liquid and brush. Something some of your viewers might want to take into consideration! If we join your pattern do we always get the sketch? I’m terrible at drawing (despite years of practice) so sometimes when I’m drawing I’m put off painting because I just trying the experience with a bad drawing. I think going straight into the painting with your sketch would help me lots! Thank you for always showing us SO much depth and information in your videos 💜
