[@claritzairosario68]

1. Water soluble graphite 2. Gouache set 3. Posca pen

[@tamarazann2717]

Just to pose a real challenge within a challenge :D I vote for all red, because that's not a colour you'll find in Moray in the wild (or anywhere in Scotland really). 1. Red markers 2. Red coloured pencils 3. Red ink

[@BrendaIlianaCastelan]

1. Watercolor, but only blues and oranges 2. Fountain pen Pilot Parallel 3. White posca pen

[@yogaborealis2041]

Watercolor (with brushes) Water-soluble Graphite Pencils Watercolor pencil

[@WatercolorKnitter]

1. Fountain Pen; 2. Water-soluble graphite pencils; 3. Watercolor (tonal grays). Your value studies are beautiful, I would love to see what you come up with!

[@prchels1]

This was sooo GREAT! Awesome that Wolfie played along but most importantly, he talked you thru the uncomfortableness of trying to paint with odd materials. Just let him keep picking and packing the bag with random stuff. That was the greatest part of it all!

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it! (Sarah through W)

[@SketchesnScrubs]

😂😂😂 the neatly laid out supplies … Woolfy : not picking any of these 😂

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

I know, so cheeky! 😂 (Sarah through W)

[@PaulaScardamalia]

@@SarahBurnsStudio really, did you expect any differently?!😆

[@moonchaserstudio]

This was so fun! Wolfie did great! I vote for nature themed project using a twig, salt, watercolor.

[@cindyn628]

good one!

[@katharinaparis7048]

I loved this one :) I have created a "game" for myself when I have decision fatigue : I throw dices and each number is one tool, and then I throw again to pick one colour per material, and then one more throwing to pick the subject. And I try to do this every morning in under 30 minutes. It has worked amazingly for my creativity :)

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Very fun idea! (Sarah through W)

[@ritawilbur6128]

I used to do this, and it was great! I should start doing it again.

[@maryahrens5187]

Amazon has something called art dice for a similar concept.

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Top 3 (if you have them) Acrylic markers / acrylic paint Neocolour 2 water soluble pastels Watercolour

[@filkatin]

Oooh, yes. Neocolor 2 would be very interesting to see

[@gingerbuchanan2795]

What a cool idea! It turned out great! 1) Water soluble graphite 2) Watercolor (purple, yellow, green) 3) Fountain Pen (black)

[@AnnetteZimmerman]

@@gingerbuchanan2795 great choices! Water soluble graphite is tough to work with when you’re accustomed to watercolor yet it works beautifully with watercolors. And the pen is a great addition for Sarah’s love for detail. But she’ll need some brushes! Add another layer of difficulty with a pentel water brush or make it easier with watercolor brushes!

[@awatercolourist]

1- Watercolours 2- Fountain pen 3- Water-soluble graphite pencils

[@JudithFifer]

Fountain pen, white posca pen, and graphite: a black-and-white challenge! (Fun seeing Wolfie!)

[@eviedivadoodles]

This was SO MUCH FUN to watch Sarah! I vote for making this a once a month challenge for yourself! 🤣 Wolfie: 1) One Posca / acrylic marker (color of your choice) and 2) two oil pastels (colors of your choice) and 3) three tubes of gouache - warm yellow, cool blue and cool red!

[@ChantelleArts]

This is so much fun, I love it ☺☺

[@zenlife1200]

1. Your 2.4 pilot parallel pen with non waterproof ink. 2. A waterbrush or a brush and water. 3. A white marker or really opaque white pencil. Go wild with the ink and water, it makes really loose and interesting images. The white helps if you lose some highlights. Have fun 😄

[@LovinLnCottage]

Hilarious! I loved this! I took Sumi-e lessons decades ago from a Japanese lady and learned to use the Sumi-e brushes like the one you just used on rice paper which is very much like painting on Kleenex tissues. I learned SO much about how to control the water in the brush to get a whole scale of values. It helped me a lot with watercolor and now gouache. BTW, the correct way to hold the brush is vertically and in the middle of the handle. Then you can get very fine lines as long as you control the amount of liquid in the brush and you spin the brush slowly as you draw it across the paper to maintain the fine point. Wolfe, please make sure Sarah gets this comment. And , Wolfe, you have learned a lot about doing art just from watching. Why not try it yourself? It’s fun! Remember that each person has a style of his/her own. So don’t compare your art to Sarah’s. Art is your OWN expression of what you see/experience, just think of it as picture writing. ☮️💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏

[@jayeagle2435]

Omg, yes! Wolfe needs to do a piece too.

[@francinetoni268]

Super fun video! Wolfy is so sweet; what a great cheerleader! My choices would be: Water soluble graphite pencils, Fountain pen-Sailor Fude, Ink- forest colors. Thank you for this fun family video. 😍

[@filkatin]

1. Fountain pen - Fude pen 2. Neocolor II if you have. Really want to see how Sara would use it :)

[@nellartusa]

I really liked the pencil dipped in ink. It actually gave a good effect for the lines. Everything was fun 😊. Do more of this!

[@SchubertFan]

Such a fun idea, and so great to see Wolfie too. My top three would be: 1. neocolor ii 2. Water soluble graphite 3. Water soluble ink

[@phyllissmith2538]

I loved this! And you nailed it! 1. Gold paint or pen 2. Watercolors (only 3) and a brush 3. Fountain pen

[@aliciamolloy5948]

Awesome vlog Sarah! Love Wolfie he did a great job with the art supplies. Nice work with the boat. 1-markers 2-charcoal 3-watercolors aquamarine blue or Prussian blue.

[@lulabelle33]

So fun to use unexpected materials. I do believe using things out of your comfort zone can lead to some surprising breakthroughs- and if not - still the freedom of having fun with lower expectations For next week - acrylic paints with texturing tools ... scrapers, pointed tool to scratch patterns in surface, maybe a mini roller, and to mono printing from a scrap paper onto your sketchbook ( paint a pattern or color block and flip onto the page and texture or roll or press it on

[@KariAndresen]

Fun video. 🙂 Here are my suggestions 1. Fountain Pen (w/ ink) 2. Watercolor or Gouache, but only the Zorn Palette colors 3. Sketchbook of your choice.

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Sarah & wolfie! You both complement each other so well. Usually complementary colours when mixed grey out...eventually...when you both are mixing art ideas your energies stand out really colourful😅 just for fun.

[@amywedekind1171]

Great video! I thought the boat turned out great! 1. Fan brush (I like that idea….i don’t have much luck with them…I’d like to see how you use it) 2. Ink pens (any color) 3. Water color

[@jesmarco374]

@@amywedekind1171 all of the above but add a paint brush or a travel paint brush

[@michellepelkey51]

What a sweet,patient hubby Wolfy is for you & your art process….such a cute and fun relationship you guys share. Fun day out! Thanks for sharing Watercolors w/ big brushes White paper Micron black marker

[@spktme]

Such a fun video and you guys are awfully cute together! I thought you did an amazing job with what you had, especially with that brush. I can't believe someone paints with just the fan brush I struggle enough with the normal ones!😂

[@andreajlmoore]

Fun, fun, fun! I am thinking markers (greens, blues and yellows), coloured pencils, and either oil pastels or wax crayons to finish. Fun to see your hubby involved😀

[@Sunny-pr1qw]

You and your husband had a good time with this; that is the sign of a strong and happy marriage! and cute video

[@reppeplucw]

This was a lot of fun. Good to know that Wolfie has a good sense of fun! Choices: Ink, watercolor pencils, water-soluble graphite pencils.

[@TheMessyDeskxyz]

😂😂😂😂 I started laughing when Wolfy said he would NOT pick from the table of selections. Hey at least he's making you use your less used stuff! And he more or less got you covered with both paper and drawing implements... Watercolor pencil ink dipping is so creative! I would love to see regular graphite pencils and water soluble graphite pencils next... Partly because I just bought a whole bunch of them today at the art store... (Why did I do that? Because it had a sale? But I haven't done graphite art in ages...? 🙈) And I guess to spruce up all that grey let's add an ink and brush to add a splash of color.

[@Julie-vy3oz]

I love Tommy Kim art; he uses a fan brush brilliantly with his gouache! This was a fun experiment with great results.

[@dlds44]

Wolfy is adorable. More videos with Wolfy. 😊 Sarah, I love watching you work with gouache. Thank you for all the work you do on your channel.

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you so much 😀

[@mariagalvanherrera4718]

You were very creative in the way you used and mixed the tools and materials.

[@Maresmurf]

wow, the boat looks stunning and that not even with your favorite art supplies. my 3 top options are 1. fountain pen, 2. Watercolor Pencils, 3. watercolor

[@beepear]

This looked like so much fun! Set out a variety of half pans and let him create your palette.

[@Eovielle]

Great Video, more of these please! My choices: - Inktense Pencils base layer - Neon Watercolour - Charcoal on top

[@kstutz230]

I think this was my favorite KZbin video ever! Excited to see next video with comments used! My choices: stencil, pan pastel, palette knife

[@millie9814]

Are u kidding me? The boat looks amazing! And you didn't even have your favorite materials

[@leanngoodall7602]

I love this. My late husband and I did this for dinner..a mystery box of ingredients. We made some amazing meals. Top three items: dip pen with the wildest colour ink you have -Ferris Wheel Press would be great; Kuretake Gansai paints and water soluble graphite pencils.

[@InkyMD]

I loved this video! My picks for you would be: Gouache, colored pencil, Fountain pen

[@Escherlife]

What a great concept….I was enthralled throughout….so many opportunities for double entendres when talking about the floppy brush and soggy pencil too 😂 can’t wait for the next one! ❤

[@anndavidson287]

Loved the challenge Sarah...Wolfe did well. Your boat turned out great!! I was so anxious watching you holding open ink bottle and other supplies and sketchbook 😅. I don't think I could jump out of my comfort zone and trust my sweetheart to choose my supplies for outdoor art making !! I need to loosen control of outcomes and enjoy art making processes. I loved the green ink. Love turquoise and other blues and green colors. I VOTED /LIKED another's suggestion already. ❤😊 from Canadian artist. Looking forward to next challenge. It's get cold at night and morning in Southern Ontario Canada. Leaves not changing colour yet. 🍁.

[@Brancaleon09]

This was so fun! Here's my selection: - gouache (some weird palette that maybe includes neon or metallic colors) - dip pen - waterproof ink (color the weirder the better) Thank you very much for all the quality content you share in your channels Sarah ❤ and wow, your craftamo subscription boxes are amazing! I'm just finishing with the first one and I'm already looking forward to starting with the next. I'm learning so much. The tutorial is so detailed but very easy to follow, the included materials of great quality, really great product 🙌 I really recommend them

[@Saahrish]

Oh this was such a fun video! You did a great job using the art supplies Wolfie chose. Interesting technique using pencil with ink.

[@ednalama4244]

Thank you, that was fun, and inspiring for some of us as well!!! I vote for black ink, a dip pen and a twig ❤❤❤

[@bonnierosendale]

I loved this! Good job, Wolfie! One of the things that was so cool about this video is the throught that Wolfie gave to choosing the materials. He didn't seem to want to make you frustrated but to truly challenge you! And you handled it really, really well! Let's see...1. a brown Posca pen, 2. a reddish watercolor, and 3. a metallic gold watercolor!

[@joanwatson6156]

Very fun! Loved the experience and spontaneity by both you and Wolfe. Watercolor Fountain pen and black ink Posca white

[@shariherrington7035]

1. Watercolors (granulating) 2. Watercolor Graphite pencils 3. Ink (black and white)

[@yogaborealis2041]

BTW, Sean I loved your rationale for the pencils - packaging matters.

[@tina2682]

This was so entertaining! My choices are: 1. Watercolour pencils 2. Soluble ink 3. Pastels either soft or oils

[@LaLa_ArtGal]

W, you did a great job, and it's fun to see/hear you; I LOVE Sarah's vouce and teaching style, but you are an excellent counterpart and a good balance for her. (You two make my gramma-eyes happy. 😉) My choices for next time, assuming this same toned paper sketchbook: 1. Posca or acrylic paint pens in white, brown, light blue 2. Fude pen with waterproof ink (any color) 3. One water-soluble graphite pencil

[@InLiquidColor]

I love this sketch! I started sketching with water soluble pencils a couple months ago and absolutely fell in love with the marks they make you you dip them directly in water (or in this case ink). It really helped me to loosen up!

[@mildredmassey4742]

Great video. Fun seeing the two of you Sarah .

[@judihussey5889]

Oh my goodness! What a fun and creative adventure! Just goes to show how true art can be made with anything you have on hand. Wolfie did an excellent job choosing. And Sarah I can see just going with the flow has a better outcome than fighting for what one thinks has to be the final outcome. I loved seeing your teamwork too! You guys are great together ❤

[@SarahBurnsStudio]

Thank you! (Sarah through W)

[@pamcarey6009]

What a great idea! I love Wolfie’s thought process behind his choices.

[@paulavining1563]

Fun experiment! Way to push you to new learnings… I applaud you on the outcome too. My vote for next week is Pen/Nib- permanent ink (can this be one “item” as you need the medium, and the applicator :). Plus Watercolor, a watercolor brush and watercolor paper. Excited to see no matter what is chosen. Very clever Wolfie!

[@kathleentrued9359]

This brought me joy. Can’t stop smiling😄

What fun….you did a wonderful job…I would be panicked,lol

[@anawanitia]

That is so much fun, I immediately told my hubby about this hahahah. 1. three supplies of three colors: pencils red, yellow, blue; gouache: orange, purple, green; marker: black, white, gray.. 2. only ONE sheet of mix media paper 3. because I'm evil... one No. 2 brush.

[@gwenanderson1914]

What a great idea! I loved your final painting and Wolfie - you did an amazing job picking her supplies. I've never seen Sarah use chalk pastels but if she owns them, how about you add that to her supply list next week. Plus maybe ink and a dip pen.

[@karensegaert6545]

From the available options I would go for 1: water soluble graphite pencil 2: markers 3: ink with brush But indeed I would love to see Sarah do magic with Neocolor 2.❤ Looking forward to next week 😊

[@lizzieverrinder6991]

Another vote here for Neocolor 2.

That is such a great idea and a terrific challenge. I recently watched a demo with Jens Huebner on urban sketching which was very interesting. I'd like to see an urban location next time with coloured pencils and watercolour pencils. Colours: 1 light & 1 dark of brown, blue, green, red and yellow along with a white. Bring at least one water filled paint brush for the watercolour pencils.

[@JoAnneSmith-di8ok]

Water Colors, Water Soluable Graphite Pencils, and white Posca Pen. This was interesting and fun! 😊

[@tamarazann2717]

This was really good fun. Would love to see more videos like this!

[@lizleiart]

Woo! This was fun! Ok my 3 choices would be 1) any ink, not black, maybe sepia? 2) twig as a dip pen 3) those caran d'ache colour pencils, cos of the shiny box 😅 use dry and wet

[@hippopotamusbosch]

• Acrylic gouache tubes and a single flat brush 1/2 inch or larger • ShinHan Twin Touch markers • One Parallel Pen and a bottle of fountain pen ink (if it’s empty)

[@chellyg910]

I love this challenge! Here are my choices: 1. Water soluble graphite pencil 2. White posca pen 3. Gouache (orange, green and blue)

[@joevison9461]

Absolutely loved this video of you both. Wolfie was fantastic support and should have a go at drawing himself x

[@moma-b]

I seriously expected something crucial missing, like not packing water. 😂 I really loved this video, please make more of it. ♥ Challenges are always fun. I would also love to see you trying to paint with objects not designed for painting. Like using a chopstick as brush, or a piece of wood. Using a toothbrush, and a piece of paper (make a paper ball), a piece of foil, and a piece of string. 😊

[@ritawilbur6128]

I'm SO impressed with how you were able to use that calligraphy brush with gouache! o_O

[@jrsinsf]

1 Water-soluble graphite pencils 2 Fine markers in black, greys, and a few earth colors plus an opaque white 3 Ink with brush - also in black, greys and earth colors plus an opaque white Would like to see some washes of graphite. Maybe a pale gray or pale blue paper... I know beige is your favorite, so you could use that if you want!

[@lyndacrawford521]

I sometimes do this for my daughter actually picking colors from a variety of media. She’s done some lovely things.

[@cherylclough4309]

Watercolor pencils, water soluble graphite pencils, posca pens. I’m assuming paper is implied. This was great.

[@laurahale5774]

Well, ok, this was fun AND beautiful! Thanks for sharing and being original. Looking forward to next week.

[@renskee.jellema8697]

1. Art Graf Viarco Tailor shape monochrome (white, black and a brown), Fude pen, Derwent drawing pencils.

[@tamarazann2717]

Just to pose a real challenge within a challenge :D I vote for all red, because that's not a colour you'll find in Moray in the wild (or anywhere in Scotland really). 1. Red markers 2. Red coloured pencils 3. Red ink

[@judymcgimpsey787]

love the both of you, great challenge.

[@aleksitanninen]

You are one brave soul. I was thinking I wouldn’t do this to myself or give my wife this idea, but I just also shared the video with her because it’s such a fun challenge. After all, I was the one who once told her, a good artist can make it work using just about anything that’s available. If I only have a plastic fork and knife and packs of McDonald’s ketchup on a wrinkled napkin, that’s all I need to make an art with :) Can’t wait to see you next challenge! Oh and…. Wolfie needs to be talking more in your future videos now. I am not sure why but it I am missing Galway a whole lot and thinking about visiting again some time in the future.
