Wonderful video! Lots of tips! I would say that Polychromos is actually not for the heavy handed because they are oil and require a very light hand and lots of layers. Using pressure with them actually doesn’t get you the colors you want. They are the opposite of Prismas. I have lots of hand pain and the Polys are perfect because I don’t have to use any pressure at all. And now that I’ve been an annoying opinionated subscriber I want to say that i am SO glad you are back! I love your videos! ❤❤❤

@shelleybluebell3973 ай бұрын
I have a lot of pain in my hands and I prefer polychromos too as can be used lightly for layers.

Excellent tips and recommendations, thank you so much! Something I would like to add in case anyone is interested is that I have found that the Holbein pencil in soft white will go over the Signo white paint pen without removing the paint as long as the paint is dry. It is what I use when I want to soften or blur the Signo white paint pen.

@emmacolours2020 Thank YOU too! Happy to help. I look forward to your upcoming content 😁 Side note: For me, the most difficult thing as a beginner mixed media artist was knowing what mediums played well together and what ones did not like each other. And, the hardest thing about being a beginner colorist was knowing which books liked which mediums the best. Also, what supplies would suit my needs (heavy/light handed, smooth/creamy/rough application, layers/one coat, etc.).

What a great video! Your come back has been brilliant ❤. I would have appreciated this video so much a few years ago. I guess many of us fell into the “I must have ALL the sets I see my favorite KZbinrs using” Fortunately I’ve sold and given away the budget sets I bought, and I only kept my premium pencils. Even though I have not been coloring, it brings me comfort to know they are there. 😊

I use Crayola 120 set which I love. I just got the Castle Arts Harmonius set of wax pencils which I'm learning how to use. I love each type of set for it's abilities. Both of these are "budget" pencils. You don't need to spend a lot to do what you love.

You are so right. 💕 I made the mistake of buying Thomas Kinkade, as my first book. I will never touch that book again. 😂 A few months later, I bought a Matchstick Mouse and a Maria Trolle book, and started again. 😁 I had a set of Polychromos for drawing already, still bought probably 7 other cheaper sets. (all given away, except one) I could have bought another professional set for that money.😭 I felt like I had to have them all. 😁 I agree with you, the Brutenfurner squares are great if someone doesn't want to spend that much money. So are the ArrtX. I use the ArrtX as a second set alongside the Polys. (If I don't like the Polys in some books) Prismas are very expensive here (More expensive then the Polys), and not available individually. Unfortunately. I would also advise buying a maximum of 2,3 books at the beginning. One printed by Amazon, one by Maria Trolle, Hanna Karlzon, and/or Johanna Basford, and maybe another one that appeals to you. Then you'll know, if you have a preference when it comes to paper. 👍 After that, we all (almost) go mad, and buy so many books, that they would last several lifetimes. 😂 Great video! 💕
