[@SarahRenaeClark]

It was so fun catching up again! I can’t wait to see what you create with all of this! ❤

[@aussiecrafter]

So many laughs going through what went on 😂 thank you for making the time to chat 😁

[@thelemonwho]

Thank you for sharing such an awesome crafter with us, SRC!

[@rubyyates8589]

Hi Sarah I’m a lonterm sub !, I love to draw and my style is sort of a Japan type witch is manga And I’m getting skilled with manga because I’m making hard to do outlines before lining And your colour theory and blending really helped because after a thew weeks after watching that I attempted my first semi realistic and it turned out ok . And to Dawn never give up on your dreams your such a talented artist You deserve the world

[@melissaross4563]

the sweetest

[@MpokHilda]

im your subscriber from Indonesia. Loved to see what stuffs need for being art artist. ❤❤

[@elisecharlenefineart]

I am so glad to see ART KZbinrs supporting each other. I think that KZbin does not promote Art Channel as much as other channels. The more we comment, like and share when can grow our channels without KZbin.

[@aussiecrafter]

Sarah is all heart 💜💙🥰

[@vonkatartistry]

Absolutely! So true 🫶🩷

[@EllieRoseMcKee]

Reorganising your art supplies to make room for all the new ones should clearly be your next video!

[@aussiecrafter]

Now that's a great idea 💡 👍

[@Kessik8]

I'd love to watch that 😊

[@yvetterodriguez4850]

As I’ve already written to you before - I’m so glad Sarah led me to you. Love everything you do! FYI I’m on team YOU’RE AN ARTIST girl!! No more air quotes please 😀 I’ve always tried to share my KZbin channel favorites (Sarah being one of them) with people and you’re now on that list. I wish only the best for you both 👏🏻❤️👍🏻

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you 🥰💙💜 and I promise, no more " ". 😁

[@carrie4910]

Paying it forward is an amazing idea. I have no doubt you WILL reach 100k and more!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much! 💜💙🥰

[@akschauer]

The Yupo paper (orange pad) is for the alcohol inks. They need a smooth, nonporous surface to move on. Pinata inks are quite saturated, so use the Jacquard Claro extender or 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol to help them spread out. Alcohol inks are quite fumy, so be sure to have the windows open and an air purifier going, and wear gloves, because they will stain your hands. They are very fun to play with!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for the info 👍☺️

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

Was hoping someone answered the yupo question!

[@heatherpiercy2296]

I found your channel because of Sarah's video and I subscribed and binged all your videos! I love your style and appreciate your passion for art. But mostly I choose which videos I watch based on the personality of the KZbinr; why spend time with people you don't like? Both you and Sarah are such obviously wonderful human beings. You deserve this and I hope it boosts your channel hugely!

[@dgswatercolor]

Agree! This cannel actually popped up in my suggested videos about a week before Sarah's video. I subscribed right after that video because I love their personalities and how they approach their own art

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰🥰

[@carrie4910]

I can’t wait to see everything you create with all these things! I’d love to see you trying the drawing cute people book!

[@aussiecrafter]

Yay! I love that book 😁

[@silverhoney6969]

That would make a great series - going through the bags and making a new project with each suppy, she can mix and pair up multiple items together

[@suzt7076]

The intense pencils are also cool to use with water. You can use them almost like aquarelles, or you can paint the tip with the wet brush and then paint with it, they are so pigmented!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for the tips 😁

[@michelledillard6316]

I remember when Sarah was on Jazza’s channel and I started following her then. She was so underrated and I’m so happy her channel has grown so much and that she has paid it forward to you. Your work is amazing and I love your channel. Cannot wait to see where you go from here! ❤🎨❤

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you Michelle 🥰🥰

[@MsSmontalvo]

It gets hard sometimes to find this kind of wholesome content on KZbin. I loved this!!! I'm sure your channel will get big enough for you to be able to pay it forward someday soon, your content is so fun. :) I really appreciated that you thought of that, too. And for the record, I love watching as someone begins their journey toward learning something new, so don't hide your process, please! It's so encouraging to see that other people also may not really know what they're doing at first. Whenever I watch videos where people appear to just be instantly good at something they've never tried before, although I do enjoy the video, it leaves me feeling a bit like maybe I'm a failure, or doing something wrong, or else why can't I learn that fast? Maybe I'm stupid.. You know, that kind of silly, self-destructive thinking. When a content creator is willing to put their learning journey out there, mistakes along the way and all, I personally find it to be so constructive in so many different ways. I think it would make a great, specific sort of playlist, maybe? Anyway, yes, you ARE an artist! Please don't give up when you feel overwhelmed or have that nasty little voice telling you you're not good enough. Keep trying, don't overexert yourself, allow yourself to breath when you need to. I will happily be following along on your journey! :D

[@aussiecrafter]

That is so great to hear that you like seeing the learning process because I feel the same. If my next video comes together I will be keeping the first few attempts in the vid 😆 it's a real learning process. Thank you so much for this feedback 🥰🥰

[@MrsBarnabas]

@@aussiecrafter 100% agree with MsSmontalvo. I've actually cleared out about half my subscription list recently (it was ridiculously long!) and realised it's mostly (but not always) the folk who always turn out the perfect piece. It doesn't make me feel bad about myself - it irritates and upsets me on behalf of those who are looking for help with the actual _doing_ , with helpful commentary, and who are being overwhelmed and disheartened by the speeded-up, no-process videos which swamp a lot of the very people we want to watch.

[@sofsalvo9910]

Hey! Talking about inspiring people... I've been following Sarah for a couple of years now, and her approach to making art accessible for everyone is beautiful. Moreover, your joy when you're talking about what you love is contagious. I've been making art on and off for several years, sadly loosing its sparkle from time to time, but you specially made it shine once more

[@aussiecrafter]

That's is so.... 🥰 I love knowing there are others getting joy from their own creativity and art.

[@Dracosekt]

I’m looking forward to your white posca Zentangle work on the black paper

[@mariatrapani851]

MY FAVOURITE WERE THE COLOURING PENCILS, WATER COLOURS AND SKETCH BOOKS, CHEERS

[@LetterLadyZ]

Laughing even harder during this than I did during the original video. You two are too funny.

[@aussiecrafter]

It was so fun talking about it. I'm glad it came across 😆😆

[@meganmiller8232]

Alcohol ink on yupo paper is a blast...can't wait to see what you think!!! Its one of my fav's!!!

[@rivwilson9330]

Loved Sarah's video and subscribed to you. Can't wait to check out more of your content

[@figetlegend3832]

Hii I just saw your channel for Sara’s vid and I’m so upset that I didn’t find your channel but atleast I can watch ur vids now :)

[@shevaunhandley1543]

I'm only 4:23 in and I just had to stop here to comment that I am loving the amount of Aussie artists and content creators that are popping out of the woodwork on KZbin. I started with Jazza and then Sarah Renae, and now you Di just warms my little Aussie heart. I'm so proud of you guys and I am keen to see your channel grow Di. Lots of love from close to the Jackson's you shopped at 😜🤣

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much. So awesome seeing locals on here 😁🥰

[@mariatrapani851]

GREAT GOODIES, I ENJOYED WATCHING EACH ONE, I NEVER PAINTED ON WOODEN PANELS ALWAYS CANVAS, I SHOULD TRY ONE FIRST TO SEE HOW IT GOES.

[@thelemonwho]

It's been extra awesome watching your viewership grow. You seriously fit right in with the rest of the top-tier crafters, and I can't wait to see what you do next!

[@aussiecrafter]

Wow, thank you 🥰💜💙

[@jessbutterfly1934]

Would love to see you swatch and use the Windsor and newton watercolours and get your opinion on them?.!

[@MarikaSinclaireArt]

Im really enjoying your content Di!💕🤗

[@angellu6501]

Your next video should be where she gonna store it. Love from uk wales

[@lilianabarata]

Hello!! I would love to see you use the Watercolor Markers and also the Watercolors at the end. =)

[@rosecraver4042]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Both of you ladies are amazing

[@mariatrapani851]

HI I AM FROM MELBOURNE, AND LIVED ALSO IN QUEENSLAND, BRISBANE

[@mariatrapani851]

LOVELY COLOURING PENCILS, I LOVE USING PENCILS

[@TannaLohouse]

I’m fairly new to Sarah’s channel, and now I have subscribed to you!! That was such a heartfelt video she did, and you deserve every bit!! I can’t wait to see what you create with it all!!❤❤ btw I think my favorite out of the haul are the colored pencils(both sets -I’ve been thinking about getting…. You know becuz a set of prisma isn’t enough haha) and I’d love to see you do anything …but those heroes look super cute and if you attempt to draw them, maybe it will make me want to attempt to draw again 😊 it’s been years since I have❤❤

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback 🥰 Draw if it brings you joy 😊

[@memafran]

Yupik is for the Alcohol Ink

[@janscott7565]

Ha Ha! Thanks to Sarah, I found you. You've been doing this for seven years?!! I'd like to see you use the alcohol inks. Thanks! BTW. enjoyed the video. 🤩

[@aussiecrafter]

Not quite 7 years. Dabbled in it 7 years ago. Started again about 2 years ago and got serious about 12mths ago.

[@wandaXmaximoff]

Di, I found your channel via Sarah’s and I instantly checked out your channel. I love your style, you’re an excellent artist and deserve the surprise Sarah gave you. Can’t wait to see what you create. 💜💜💜

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰💙💜

[@bette-annflood835]

It's all interesting to me. I have the full set polychromos. I dread the day they are used up. I love them. Alcohol inks ohhhhh. Fun stuff. I will subscribe now. Tfs

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you, I'm loving the polychromos too 😁🥰

[@TheBicycleLadyThings]

The W&N Promarker watercolor markers work great on Canson Montval watercolor paper-which is a bit more budget friendly (at least in the USA) than the other papers o Fabiano HP and CP, Strathmore 500 CP, Lanaquarelle CP and Arches CP

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@Skittl1321]

What an awesome haul! I subscribed to you before you did the video with Sarah and was so excited to see you on her channel

[@aussiecrafter]

Awesome! Thank you 🥰 💙💜

[@geschichten_erzahlerin1176]

Hi I'm pretty sure the yupo paper (the plastic one) is for alcohol inks. I would love to see you playing around with the clayboard. Best wishes from germany💖

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for the info and suggestion 🥰😁

[@artesIgnifer]

I watched both, sarah's and just now your video. and i am so happy for you, and proud of you for promising to pay it forward. and for losing the air quotes ;) i started watching your content a while back ant it always saddened me to watch you refering to yourself as a " hobby artists" and always downtalking yourself. i'm glad @SarahRenaeClark did this for you. helping you getting rid of the practice wheels so to speak. all art is good art as long as you enjoy doing it.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much. 😊 🥰

[@HA-pv3lp]

I'm so excited to see what you do in the future. I hope you keep on learning and growing as an artist and don't give up on your passion. ❤

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much!! 🥰😍

[@byronkington2702]

you should draw the cute characters from the book ps sorry for my spelling

[@aussiecrafter]

Your spelling is 👌

[@michelleh9685]

Awesome collaboration lovelies. I think the yupo paper is for your alcohol inks & markers, well that's what I use it for lol

[@Skittl1321]

Agree! Yupo paper is for alcohol inks, because it lets them move around without soaking in.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you🙏. Sarah did tell me at the time but I totally forgot 🤦‍♀️

[@ragsmnm5224]

Subscribed! So happy Sarah led me to another awesome artist! Cant wait to see more as your channel grows❤

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for subbing 😃🥰

[@mariatrapani851]

HI THERE, I SAW YOUR CHANNEL WITH SARAH RENAE CLARK, I LIKE TO FOLLOW YOUR CHANNEL VIDEOS TOO. BYE MARIA

[@aussiecrafter]

Welcome!!

[@KBish]

I’ve started working with colored pencils for about two years now. I started from scratch. I first bought the crappy pencils and graduated up to a 150 set of prizma’s . If I could offer just a quick couple of hints. 1st keep your pencil points sharp, work on the flattest surface (that would be your Bristol when working in pencil) work in layers a little color at a time, have fun (sometimes it is really hard to push through the tough parts of your picture- but I know you can. Just keep working on it. I’m a new sub and can’t wait to see what you create.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you for all the tips 🥰

[@chronischgeheilt]

Yupo is great fun with alcohol inks. Not just the markers, but pouring ink on it and blowing it around with a Straw or letting or flow in certain ways. Alcohol ink art is so cool I think :)

[@aussiecrafter]

Thanks for the info 👍

[@scruppydoo]

What would be really cool, if you used some of the supplies and made a gift to send to Sarah as a surprise thank you.

[@aussiecrafter]

That's a sweet thought 🥰I've been throwing a few ideas around 😉

[@mistymane52]

The “ring ring” got me! 😂😂 I hadn’t heard of you before Sarah’s video but I’m so happy she introduced you to me cause I loved your personality in Sarah’s video and I love the art you’ve made now that I’ve come and subscribed to your channel too! :) congratulations on the official Hobby Artist title! 😉

[@aussiecrafter]

😆 I don't normally film when anyone is home for that reason 😆 Thank you 🥰

[@kalamity_spice]

I love this so much! You deserve it x I’d love to see you use the posca white pens on toned paper!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you 🥰 and noted 👍

[@joanneboog8451]

Sarah did a great thing for you. I am now following you too.

[@aussiecrafter]

She really did 🥰 and thank you for the sub 😁

[@LiviyaLeigh]

I'm intrigued to learn what the clay boards are and can't wait for the cute people drawing. And greatly anticipating your pay it forward video. It will be here before you know it, I'm sure 😁

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰💙💜

[@LadiSway]

The art community on KZbin is a beautiful group people. Thank you both for sharing such a hopeful, loving, beautiful and supportive thing. Thank you

[@funlife7767]

here from sara and your art is amazing keep up the awesome work it’s beautiful

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you 🥰

[@RaesTurquoiseTurtle]

I cant wait to see you use all of it but especially the inks and yupo! Alcohol Inks are my favorite "art" medium even though i rarely use them as traditional art. I put them on my tumblers all the time!

[@aussiecrafter]

That would be fun.

[@SinCityYetiArt]

I have an idea of something you could do with your wonderful supplies. Use the paint palette as the piece, design Cute Hero artists painting something on it, in their styles! Like Frida Kahlo painting her flowers, Picasso painting melting objects, and Van Gogh painting a background. That would be pretty epic!

[@aussiecrafter]

That's a great idea 💡

[@SinCityYetiArt]

You have so many options at your fingertips! This must be so exciting and a bit overwhelming. 😅

[@ArtisticKatz]

Absolutely great, I am a hobby colourist and just getting into art. I wouldn't dream of creating a KZbin channel I just don't have the confidence. I have sold a few line art colouring pages on Etsy. So I think I would love to see you go through the cute hero's book and see how you go about creating cutsy people. I love your growing confidence. Well done to Sarah, for helping you gain it. 👏

[@aussiecrafter]

I didn't have the confidence to begin with either so I started with just my hands. I'm excited to do my own cute heroes 🥰

[@AlyssaTheGeek]

Trying to figure out what you drew with the colored pencils based on which were the shortest was a fun guessing game :) I would LOVE to see a 'Drawing Cute Heroes' video, especially if you also make your own heroes!

[@aussiecrafter]

😆 fun game 😆 Thanks for the suggestion 😁

[@hinajamil8413]

Hi because of Sarah video i Wanted to watch your videos 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ have a nice day

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you and welcome 😊

[@hinajamil8413]

YAYYYYYYY

[@ChuckLeeMBM]

Oooooo im so jelly! Soooo many goodies! I would be in heaven with all these supplies! Super cool video!!

[@linnetkazemi7616]

I said this on Sarah’s channel as well, but this was an Oprah Winfrey type surprise because of all the heart that went into it and so wonderful to meet you!!! I can’t wait to explore your channel and hope it explodes on you!!!🎉. Next stop: 10,000 subscribers!! Best of luck!!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰☺️

[@andrewmandywilsontatham49]

Wow. Just wow. Amazing for Sarah (and hubby) to do that for you! And what a great idea to promote another KZbinr, and help them on their way. Good on you for promising to pay it forward! You go girl, I'm sure it won't take long to get there 😁.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you, Sarah is a true gem 🥰

[@Starfirelights]

It was great to see the other side of this, I found Sarah through Jazza and now you through her but it is always great to find new artists on here and see how they work and learn about new mediums and techniques. You asked about the yupo paper (the plastic like one) I think it can be used for other wet media as well but it is the main surface people tend to use for alcohol inks. Those are probably one of the things I would love to see you try. They are a bit different but are also forgiving to some extent with the ink being able to be removed or diluted with alcohol. That was a medium it took me a while to get comfortable with but is one I now really enjoy dabbling with.

[@aussiecrafter]

Sounds fun! Thanks for the info and feedback 🥰

[@luususa6331]

Hello from Germany! :D I'm very curious what you're going to do with the clayboards. :D

[@ianhulbert]

Enjoy growing your channel. Another great person, and artist on KZbin. First following Jazza (and his brother Shad), then Sarah, now you also. A great group is growing (creators and community)

[@harperrobinson-th1wj]

I’d just like to say u are so beautiful. I’m from WA and I’m 10 yrs old. You just earned yourself a new subscriber. I saw you on Sarah’s channel and saw the video and I just thought how kind that is. You both are amazing people. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos.😊

[@catiejane5287]

I am so glad art KZbinrs are supporting one another other. Your reaction was so genuine. I am a new subscriber but look forward to watching your content . You are a talented lady. I am an amateur artist for who uses art as a sanctuary and to balance my mental health as a 24/7 carer for an elderly disabled relative. Watching artists like you and Sarah is my respite. Thank you.

[@MercedesAnne89]

I’ve never seen the watercolor markers! Looking forward to your creations!

[@CutieArtsy]

Wow love to discover more craft related channel here in Aussie. I'm one of your subscriber now❤️

[@michellemanrriquez3263]

I just started watching you and subscribed just because of Sarah and so far I am really enjoying your content

[@sweetbb125]

I an a new subscriber, from South Africa. Wonderful! Please do something with all those colour pencils! You are so lucky to have a Jacksons in your city.

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

Sorry i am leaving lots of comments but i keep thinking of things as i watch your video lol. Please let your next nerdecrafter figure be sarah rene clark!!!❤

[@TheCabag]

I think even if you suspected something was going on, you would never believe it. I know that's would be how I would be in that situation. Best of luck on you journey with your channel.

[@ShawntitaSmith-fu6ob]

Sahwnttasmith you love you too love you too love you too you love ❤

[@melanco22]

Hello! Nice to meet you! That was great to see Sarah have fun with you and help you grow in your creative journey. I am anxious to see you use the clay boards that I did not know existed! Take care, Mélanie

[@travelwell6049]

It takes a lot of courage to launch a KZbin channel and put yourself out there. You’ve got over that massive hurdle. So keep doing what you’re doing and your hard work will pay off.

[@MissJanaMac]

This was an awesome video & im grateful the experience was shared w/us! Great idea Sarah! Ur born such lovely people & i can't wait to get into ur videos Di. I feel a binge comin on. I wish u the best w/ur channel growth. ❤😊

[@vhacker71]

I am really enjoying your channel. Keep up the great work! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@melindarivera6598]

20:48 Off topic kind of, but these Derwent colored pencils, maybe not the exact ones but one of them, are included in the new Mini-Brands miniatures and it is so cute!!!

[@LoryBelle]

The inktense pencils are awesome! They work like watercolor pencils, but they are VERY pigmented. Also, they’re ink, so unlike watercolor, they’re permanent! Once activated, they will dry down as permanent ink, which means once they’re dry, you can use them again on top, or regular watercolor & you won’t re-activate the dried layers.

[@AroNekoArts]

Im probably late but im now here over from German, to sarahs channel and now to yours! And as a fellow hobby artist or someone who pretend it since this year. This channel is 100% worth it a sub❤

[@GilluindilG]

I love to use the Inktense pencils the way Sarah used them in one of her videos (using a colourless alcohol marker to blend them into each other). That trick works really great but it would be nice to discover other ways to use them so I would very much enjoy to discover them with your help. :)

[@GwyllionFaye]

I really loved watching that video., what a beautiful thing. Your reaction was priceless! Cannot wait to see what you create 💜

[@carrie4910]

I would have been equally as oblivious 😂

[@Saahrish]

If you figure out how to use those winsor and newton promarker watercolor markers then I’d love a video on that. Have a whole set and I struggle to work with them.

[@marybarton9792]

That was absolutely amazing, you are blessed. 😊

[@thisnthat42]

I'm curious about the clay board. Never seen that before so would be interested to see what you can make with it.

[@andree-annblais9221]

Omg I want more from you duo ! You both are so full of joy and love and creativity. You restored my faith in humanity !

[@haynenps3466]

It was great to watch both you reactions to the video. Cant wait to see your create more art, and looking forward to see more of your art. 😁

[@Littlecookie11]

Your channel is so underrated and i hope you get more subs and love❤❤ then you do and im a new sub😊

[@MarkWiddowson-z2q]

just watched the video it's great to see I'm a new artist and love coloured pencils

[@arauscher]

I found your channel from Sarah’s video. I’m pacing myself in watching your past videos. I love the variety of crafts and art that you do. I have no doubt you will reach 100k subscribers in the future!

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you for the confidence 🥰💙💜

[@louizelimepips3517]

I’d like to see you use the WN Cotman watercolors. 😀

[@melissaross4563]

this made my day. you guys are the sweetest. love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@Indykitty1]

I am following from the USA. Both of you make me smile.

[@Dustyrosepetal]

So I stumbled across your channel about a week before Sarah's video. I've been watching Sarah's videos for years and when I saw your face and found out that you would be the one getting the supplies I was happy for you. I think that you deserve it. Keep up the good work. I look forward to you paying it forward when you reach 100k.

[@Skeazix]

It would be so cool if it became an art KZbinr "thing" that everyone just does when they reach a big milestone.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰 I can't wait to help someone else the way Sarah helped me 🙏

[@kathykeller744]

Yes please do the cute characters and the Bristol is for markers

[@anat.heistart]

The watercolor pens sound interesting

[@grunetinte6975]

I'd love tyo see you create a character and use the detail eraser to sculpt out the details

[@Smileychop]

What an amazing thing to have happened x

[@jamieroberts269]

Can’t wait to see all the creative be things you make!

[@scherre]

I just found your channel last week, it was so fun to see you receiving all these wonderful art supplies. I knew of Sarah from seeing her on Jazza's channel and always meant to check her out more but never managed to remember. Definitely will now! I would like to see you try out the W&N watercolour paints (and don't listen to people who tell you that you do it "wrong" - using the same tools in different ways is how everyone creates unique art!) and also the alcohol inks. I'm new to alcohol inks and in a kind of testing and learning phase so it will be interesting to see someone else have a go too.

[@aussiecrafter]

Thank you so much 🥰🤗 it means a lot 💗

[@G4m3rKoneko_Keori]

I can not wait until you pay it forward and see who it is you do it for!
