I have a husband who has dementia and Parkinson so my life is quite intense, but your videos cheer me up and inspire me to keep doing my craftwork which I totally enjoy. I find myself smiling and talking to you while you’re working. Thank you so much for sharing your talent and thoughts. ❤

[@swl9270]

Please continue to take care of YOU! I, too, am a caregiver and know all too well the daily stresses when things are going well let alone when the wheels come off! Painting is my therapy! I feel guilty but know I need it! KZbin art is also my relief!

[@ladennastanley6259]

After 2 Strokes I found with a Parkinson type permanent disability I can create awesome watercolor. When my mom lived with dementia and became non-verbal we got her colored pencils and adult coloring books and we did that with her. Before dementia she could nothing artistic but found this soothing.

Look after you and keep crafting, my husband is my carer. I am 48 and have had 2 strokes, a heart attack have end stage lung disease and other issues. He is amazing with me and I couldn’t appreciate him more. We make sure as a family that we pay for him to go fishing every other weekend as well as other outdoor activity which he loves to make sure he is decompressing. I am a lot to handle sometimes and I know the stress is hard for him. Love yourself as much as you love him and keep crafting. I do some but not like I used to so I know how relaxing it can be. Take care of you. ❤❤❤

I’m in the same boat caring for a loved one with Alzheimers. You are right, these video’s are a welcome distraction❤

[@d123hendrick]

“You’re only as good as your next layer!” LOVE THIS❤

[@lorilehnen9077]

One of the things I like the most about your lives are your Tim talks at the end .So much encouragement and positive vibes. If there were more people like you the World would be a nicer place. Thank you for the inspiration and taking your time to continue giving us these fun lives.

[@laurabush9812]

Watched the replay. I used to see the length of these videos and just move on, but I’m realizing that I learn so much from them! Thank you for your generosity.

[@timholtz]

Glad it was helpful!

[@deannalynnsorenson8505]

I too watched the replay and fast forward to get through it faster but there is so much good info. Now I want these pencils! 😊

[@Squabetty]

Oh Tim! I am laughing with great sympathy for the frustration I hear in your voice. We all do, indeed, need to get over ourselves at times. 😂😂😂. I am sorry for your frustration but do appreciate that you take your fans’ issues seriously enough to address them. A dog is not a cat, a pencil is not a crayon. And managing our expectations is a life long learning lesson we have to face over and over again. Hope you have a good cup of calming tea or a stiff drink when all this is over! ❤❤

[@connieaaron5743]

Another great live. Thank you Tim and Mario for your time and inspiration!!!

[@RinasAMaker]

I almost had to flip a desk… my pencils were MIA! Luckily for all the furniture, I found them 😆 Tim, you are, and always have been, the BEST teacher! I remember the CHA days and I would spend 90% of my day at whichever booth you were at learning everything I could from you. And Mario… the Rockstar, fabulous as always. Just wanted to say, ALLLLL these years later, you’re still the best and I wholeheartedly appreciate you! (BOTH of you). -Nancy

[@kristymh823]

My day just became happier! Thank you for sharing…you.

[@allisonjames2923]

Lol. It’s kind of funny how many artistic people are OCD to various degrees. It is nice to know you’re one of us & get the frustration 😁

[@karendixon4266]

It’s nice when bringing back the old stuff again. ❤

[@jessicachamps3949]

thank you for not only sharing your expertise in making but also encouraging/reminding us to be kind & share love not negativity. everyone needs a reminder now& then & as a single person that SO MANY(including myself) follow& adore, your voice by default is louder& carries father. I don't think I'm sharing knowledge, as I have a feeling you know this, hence your already doing it. rather acknowledging the benefit of you doing it& I would like you to know it's appreciated. I've never heard you say anything that offended me.😊❤ I hope all this makes sense!! btw-love LOVE scorched timber!🤤

[@colleenbuiles9171]

As always, enjoyed the live! I really hope you know how much many of us appreciate the time and effort you put into these lives. I always learn so much. You are an amazing teacher ( I should know, as I am a retired teacher!!😊 ) Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sending love to you & Mario!❤

[@karennelson7208]

I'm always surprised how much I learn watching Tim. I'm also surprised how much I have forgotten. Its so important to get these as a refresher!!! I'm like, "Oh yea! I forgot that". Thankyou Tim!!!

[@ritaventura6459]

Ditto!

[@alisakerwoodakarainbowangel]

Thank you for the inspiration and energy you bring. I'm a greeting card maker and thanks to all the artists that you have shown and highlighted their products I have and been using them.

[@beateschroder5729]

Dear Tim, thank you very much for this live video 💞 Every Saturday I watch with anticipation to see if there is a new video from you and my heart skips a beat when I discover one 💖 Then my weekend is saved. So far I only have the first 3 sets, but I'm already looking forward to the next 3. I learn so much from you, thank you so much for that 🖌️🎨 Many thanks also to your makers, who have already made videos with the great new stencils. Have a great, relaxing weekend for you and Mario 😊 🛋️ and see you next week. Big hugs from Cologne in Germany 🫶 

[@franciemontgomery2935]

So wonderful to be reminded of tried and true techniques and see brand new techniques! I need to be reminded over and over again the different properties of inks and oxides and how to use them to get the best results! 😅 Saturdays are ALWAYS better when Tim & Mario show up.😊❤

[@debrawoodson-iness9615]

Hi there, i just wanted to tell you what I have done with my white pencil😂. I put all of my 'distress picket fence products' in one container. I did this, yes, because it needed this for everything to fit 🤓, but also, yes, white is unique. So I felt like I justified that change. From a fellow ocd organizer.❤

[@hazelyoung2046]

Great live, fabulous demo's, techniques and tips. You guys rock xx

[@CraftyToad70]

“What if” has lead me down so many delightful rabbit holes. I will definitely need to try that stencil technique. Thanks for another great inspirational and instructional video!

[@SherrillWillis]

Thank you for all your time and for inspiring me, and many, many others. I appreciate you!

[@andreavictoriaparadiso47]

Thank you so much for your time, expertise and all the fun! I loved all your techniques and I love the pencils. So happy you reached the victory line with the completion of the palette!

[@donnanuce]

Yesterday I did organize my pencils by color because I needed to see them this way!😃

[@karennelson7208]

Love and need these demos!!!!! Thankyou Tim! Thankyou Mario!

[@d123hendrick]

Thank you for the detailed explanations. I have learned so much from you. You do the best demos live. I’ve been learning from you all the way ‘back in the day’ at Megameet in Novi Michigan almost 30 years ago! Xoxxooxo

[@tammywisecup774]

Thank you so much for explaining how you can get a true watercolor look by not drawing directly on the paper. I also love how you organized your pencils by color, I have done it too because when I want a color I want to see at a glance all my shades of that color so I can choose what I desire quickly

[@ThePeggy5]

Watching the replay because I was at an all day card making class. Lots of creativity today. But couldn’t let the day get away without watching Tim & Mario & new goodies!

[@miriampamperedinpaper3366]

I’ve been ill for a few days so I didn’t get to watch the live. I love to watch the replays if I miss the live. I really appreciate ALL the work that you do to educate us on your products! I’ve been a day one consumer and fan!! Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Mario!!❤ Miriam

[@Taitcreates639]

Totally am getting this. Have yet to get this wonderful pigment pencils, hopefully one day soon. The one and only Tim Holtz is the very best mixed media artist out there

[@avirtualcanvas7584]

So glad to have this refresher and demo for the distress watercolour pencils,hands down these are an inspired meduim,I have just re-ordered all the sets,I am a mixed media artist and I love these,they are so versatile,they are really highly pigmented,I think the two pack of the black and white is also a great idea,so ordered these too,I love having the scorched timber colour as a pencil too,the fact they are woodless is brilliant,I use these constantly,such a great product/medium(Matt)P.s I discovered I can use the pencils on my geli plate.I organise mine in the same way as you,in colour families and have a messy set as well

[@katecresse881]

Again, I’m so impressed with what I don’t know and haven’t tried. I see lots of play ahead of me. Thanks.

[@michelebuisson6317]

Thank you! ❤ Thank you for being inspiring, and encouraging, and kind!

[@michelinelevesque8293]

Ohhhhh Tim, you are such beautiful human ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jkmacrunnel]

I did a little illustrative watercolor using just the pencils, it worked great! They blended great with water, but I could also add in details. I love these pencils, the possibilites are endless!

[@suebouch4074]

Hi Tim & Mario… THANK YOU for the inspiration to get my pencils out to have a play with them… so many ideas! You are always so enjoyable to listen to and learn from. Have a great day! 🙂

[@DebiP51]

My goodness … I LOVE your Tim talks!! Thank you for always encouraging, motivating and sharing your thoughts.. your “no how”.. and your love with all of us out here in Utube land. I know with me you make such an awesome connection with me and a better understanding of how to use all the products! And frankly… to just enjoy myself! Thank you again for sharing!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 GREAT VIDEO!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@bratcat4433]

Yes!!! I am so doing it your way! My brain loves it! And I hear you about the stickers!

[@TheWhimsicalDesk]

That was fun, thanks Tim and Mario 😍👌🏻✨

[@robinking6574]

How did I not know there were three more sets. 4,5 and 6 sets. And I already have the new scorch timber. I have been waiting for another Saturday video, yayy, so happy and so thankful you share your creativity with us. ❤ and I now have the other sets ordered. I absolutely love these pencils. My favorites. ❤

[@alisonfox1297]

I will admit I haven't watched one of Tim's lives before but I will definitely be watching more. I have learnt a lot and will hopefully get more out of the products I have ❤

[@AxelFlores-rc4wt]

love how easy these are to blend and layer colors!

[@karma13612]

I LOVE your attention to detail! Thanks for the video! 🖋🎨🖌️

[@marionpatz6140]

Fantastic demo, Tim, thank you so much for so many tips and tricks!!!

[@KRHarris9598]

So awesome. I really love the pencils. I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of them! Love the "expectations" - so true! LOVE that you remove the stickers on your tins, lol - I so understand that! Thank you for taking the time to teach how to use your products!!! I so appreciate it, you have NO idea! Just like you said, when you can watch someone do it, it's so much easier to learn! And it helps spark your own imagination. I'm going to take your advice and start playing more. Thank you for the inspiration. Tim Holtz you are my favorite!

[@leannewarner2982]

I always enjoy the lives and watch on replay also. I really really love the blueprint stamps and use them regularly. Was fun watching you use them because I love to colour them too. So versatile. They were my first venture into the world of water colours.

[@kgoberis7722]

Excellent video! Loved the messages, loved the techniques. Can't wait to play!!

[@donnaribeiropope3252]

I just love how easy they are to use.

[@mariafernandez6537]

Caught the replay and wow such a ton of info with the pencils. Just got my set Thursday and truly love them!! You are an inspiration all the time. Thanks

[@kattucker7791]

Thanks for this Tim and Mario! These lives brighten my Saturday and get my creative mind going! Off to play with my new pencils!

[@poppythecat454]

What a fantastic product. It will definitely be very flexible for me. Thank you!!

[@reet_creates]

Thank you for the fun creative play and great tips! ❤

[@marycoughlin5645]

Learned so much today❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@juliefrancis1828]

I have these ordered. I am just watching today and learning. But I see a lot of play time in my future! Thanks Tim!

[@louiseschubert4747]

I'm so glad to know that I am not the only one who can't stand having labels on things! I take every label off, first thing! Thanks for this wonderful information.

[@wendydellow1103]

Hi Tim , you make a lot of sense , thanks for your demo , you have put a lot of work into it all 🎉

[@cheryl7476]

I’m waiting for my 2nd trio of colored pencils to arrive this week. They are the most fun to play with and I enjoy all types of ways to use them. Thanks, Tim.

[@wendyleech1552]

Thank you for the new colors just in time for my Birthday!!!! 😂

This was so awesome I learned so much you explain it so well I watched the first one I want to keep them to watch again I do wish they still had the flat brush I like that I am just starting out, so definitely want to get some of these pencils thank you so much for the great class.

[@user-ld3hu1kr6d]

Thank you for a great demo. I love the water color pencils. Keep on doing you😊

[@angelanicholson6252]

[@PoconoPam]

Ohhhh! Tim! 🥰 Couldn't wait to get home to watch! Thank you for yet another amazing LIVE sharing your "creative magic"! I love that you always explain how & why you do what you do when layering. Loved the crayon vs. pencil demos! Hi Mario! 👋🏾

[@timholtz]

Appreciate the kind words.

[@loribaca9065]

I learned so much. Thank you.

[@marjbiehler7628]

Great live. I'm looking forward to trying the new ideas with the pencils!

[@michelel3372]

I always learn so many tips from your video's. Thank you so much, to both of you, for sharing your talents. ❤

[@maryscraftcorner]

I bought a set of your water crayons I have used on the shaving on my stamped images on watercolor paper. I just love using your products I also love your mini distress inks.

[@DeerheartStudioArts]

great decisions for these fabulous art supplies!🦌💌👍

[@juliebattistel143]

This was a fantastic tutorial❤️😋love listening to you🥰

[@loribeck7496]

I appreciate these videos so much! You guys are the best! Some day I will have time to do all of these things. In the meantime, I'm collecting the tools 😊

[@isobeltyrer2371]

Love, love, love Scorched Timber. My distress oxide pad arrived today 😊

[@MessyCraftGeek]

Watching on the replay, it’s nice to know you share the OCD Tim, thank you for sharing

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So excited to have ordered sets 4, 5, and 6 yesterday (they finally arrived in the European store I buy from)... Hopefully they'll arrive in the next week or so, so this is perfectly timed. Can't wait to catch up! I know it's going to be a barnstormer... thanks in advance to Tim and Mario for what I know will be an amazing session.

[@peggylynn3727]

Long time fan here! I used to love your presentations at CHA years ago.

[@ginasurber5684]

I’m watching on Sunday. Hi Tim and Mario.

[@Bagheera23608]

You have such a positive attitude that i just don't. It can't be easy to take unjustified negative comments. You just handle it so well. I should try to learn more than just creating from you

[@starsailorscrapper]

How perfect as I went to Stampfest today, and bought my first set. Only to come home, try them, and had to order 2 more sets..then...Watched this awesome video!! Thanks Tim. You always inspire and amaze me!!! oh, and bought SCORCH TIMBER distress ink and reinker!!!! yay!!!♥Oh, and I got the PLus ONe at Stampfest too!!!!

[@paxi37]

Oh wow! Bring back the flat brush. I’ve never seen one and I NEED it now!! lol

[@tmbentley1966]

The more Tim the better.

[@kathycultice5272]

I totally get that organization thing. I’d take the labels off of the tins, too. 💯

[@denisedamore1966]

🤣 So glad to hear I’m not the only one who removes all the labels. On everything! lol ❤

[@marijkerolink7319]

Thank you for the demo

[@glendacox6540]

Just bought them all!

[@robynlawhon3680]

I am soooo glad you spoke to having to remove the stickers on back of the tins. 😂😂😂. I am practicing to be an artist, but I’m struggling to “let go”. Now I know it’s not just me. Whew!!!

[@pounsplace1302]

I love your videos, you are so captivating. Every detail is so important and remembered. Its like I am there taking the class. thank you for doing these videos for newly retired newbie to paper crafting. vivian

[@lisakildoo4731]

On your swatches, you have beautiful handwriting! Cool style!

[@timholtz]

Thank you so much!

[@lauramartin7300]

I would do the same. I would have to colors as you have done. It makes things easier..Find colors easier. In art class we learned.. black and white are not colors. You can't mix anything to make those two colors.. watching this I felt back in art class.. good thing. Thanks for all this...

[@dawnaf.8683]

Watching on replay. Great play day Tim! I always learn so much. I’m excited to use my pencils in a whole different way!! And BTW, my hubby always wears a plaid shirt all the time. ( long sleeve in the winter, short sleeve in the summer) Apparently he has nothing to wear if there isn’t a clean plaid shirt hanging in his closet 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 Anyways, thanks for sharing your creativity

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

I am so glad you came out with more colors in these! I love using them! I feel many people misunderstood the best ways to use them. People forget to watch your and/or other maker’s content or just simply play. Thanks as always for all the creative tools and content, you and Mario rock! ❤

[@jennyloser548]

Love the idea.Just need to see if I can do it.😂

[@wendyloomes5728]

Learnt so much thankyou

[@inggomez-allen7920]

I need those in my life🥰❤️❤️😻😻

[@casoriginal]

Great tips and ideas as always. Feel free to send that snow to MN. The part I am in, we do not have any snow. It is the first winter in my 50 years of life and living here that we hafe not had at least a foot of snow this time of year. I sure to miss it :)

[@tezhall4714]

Love the pencils, they are so versatile. Found the way you have organised a great idea. Have found a product called HG sticker remover, that has easily taken off and glue residue from the back of my tins.

[@alisakerwoodakarainbowangel]

I use many of my art mediums all year around

[@CarolRichards-fy7rz]

Now I know what to do with those. I can’t afford then yet but hope to soon.

[@staceyrivera475]

Thank you Tim for another wonderful video. I am always so excited when you make a video. That just makes my day. Watching you and all of the wonderfully creatives that share their art. It’s truly amazing. I just want to say how grateful I am. ❤❤❤
