Thank you!! And yes, definitely will do some more of them here and there when I don’t have other videos I need to share lol And acrylic gouache is basically matte acrylics. Regular gouache is basically opaque watercolor. So they’re completely different and it’s funny that they’re called the same thing.

Thank you for the feedback, it’s so helpful to get that insight. I’m glad to hear this style is more helpful than a sped up video, I might go ahead and stick with real time ones then and just speed up the boring parts that are self explanatory, kind of like I did here. And it’s great that you found some of the tips helpful! I really hope you give this a go. Have fun if you do and let me know how it goes!

Oh I’m so happy to hear you gave it a go and that the video was helpful!! So excited for you. I love trying new types of art too. I think it’s so great to experiment because you never know what will really resonate until you try it. And I’m the same way - I love being able to use supplies I already have and put them to good use, that’s like my favorite thing (then I feel justified for buying them lol). Thank you for coming back and letting me know how the experiment went! And yeah, I think I’ll go ahead and do more of these paint with me videos down the road. They’re not as popular as art haul videos but I love that they’re more helpful to people, so even if only a handful of people watch it and it helps just a few people, it’s totally worth it. I used to do live videos when I was carving dolls, so maybe I’ll do some of those for painting.

Thank you! ☺️ And I appreciate the feedback! Glad to hear that this format is working for you ❤️

Thank you so much, and thank you for commenting 🥰

Oh wow, thank you so much! That really means a lot and you totally made my day 🥹

Thank you! And awesome, I’m glad it was easy to follow along! Sometimes I ramble so I was hoping it all made sense lol

Oh good, I’m so happy the video was helpful! I really love how they have so many uses. Sometimes u use them totally dry and sometimes wet and it’s nice to have a product that can do so many things

Thank you so much! Yeah, I’m not the best at symmetry lol 🫢 all my girls are a little wonky. We can just pretend it adds to the charm and “personality” 😅

@@ElaTell your faces look very symmetrical to me. Your girls have such personality.

@@destresswithyoga aww thank you so much! And yeah, that’s the main thing I love about doing faces, is that I never know what they’ll come out looking like so they always feel like their own individual little beings

Oh I’m so glad this was helpful! So excited to hear how you like it when you try it! Definitely don’t even worry about the faces being symmetrical or having to be a certain way, just have fun with it. And I’d recommend using the hot press paper. It’s better for faces and for dissolving neocolor and using pencil on top. Will be much easier for getting smooth results. Cold press paper is probably use for looser only watercolor painting. Hot press paper is great for mixed media

@@ElaTell Thank you so much! I can’t wait to try this out. Hot pressed and Neo ll’s with this to guide me. Thank you so much! Your art is fabulous!

Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤

Thank you so much ☺️

@@peggyjofarr4577 thank you for commenting 🥰

Yes, there was a small art store there. It was very cute but small. I don’t remember the name, but it was in the city center. There might have been one or two more that I didn’t check out.

Oh and this video was from the art store in Yokohama actually. The ones in Tokyo were much bigger.

@@ElaTell - I’m staying in Yokohama 🙂! I found a store near the station called Tools. They have Copic markers. Made my list and I can’t wait!!!

@@LifeAfter40IsGood that’s so exciting!!! I wish I could visit again, such a nice country. Have fun shopping! They have Great prices on Holbein paint in Japan, btw

@@ElaTell - I just might get some gouache! I’m going on a cruise - so my time is limited.

Thank you so much! And I love drawing roots on trees too. They always end up looking like my branches lol I’m glad you enjoyed it and thank you for leaving a comment and the sweet feedback ☺️❤️

Thank you!! Soooo fun, I hope you give it a go!

Ohh I’m happy to hear that! Have fun with it!! Lmk how you like it after you give it a go ❤️

Oh good, I’m happy to hear it! I feel like I’m always bumbling around and making a mess of things 😂

Thank you so much, your comments always make me smile ❤️

Thank you! I was so tempted by that little schmincke tin too! But I did see some reviews that mentioned what you said too, but I was still tempted just because it’s so cute lol At least there’s space that you can add some more colors and make it your own

@@ElaTell I think on reflection I would buy an empty whisky painters tin and choose my own paints but I guess it will be a challenge for me to use the paints provided.

@@karenirving7088 those little tins are expensive even empty! If you really don’t like the paints schmincke provided, I would just take them out and fill the little palette with paints you love and then put the schmincke paints you don’t like in some other, cheaper, palette

@@ElaTell I'm determined to use them 🤣 I don't have your expertise so I will add a couple of colours and go for it. Lots of people seem to love Schminke but so far I prefer other brands 🤷‍♀️

@@karenirving7088 I’ll be honest with you, I prefer other brands too. Schmincke is my least fave of the expensive brands. I recently got some of their granulating colors to add to my schmincke palette, hoping that maybe that’ll spice it up a bit and make me like it more. We’ll see 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you so much, that means a lot 🥹

Thank you 🙏

Oh thank you sooo much ☺️

Thank you, that really means a lot 🥹 And I think an artist is someone who makes art. So if you’re putting other things aside and making time for art, you’re as much an artist as anyone else ❤️

Holbein has great gouache! I’ve been using their regular gouache and acrylic gouache a lot past couple of months and they’re both excellent quality. And you can find much better deals in it than the other name brands, which is why I went with them. Thank you for watching! It was quite a long undertaking so I’m glad people are enjoying the video 😊❤️

Thanks! I think it’s the cutest palette I own. Only the art toolkit pocket palette kind of comes close

Thank you!

Thank you! And yes, I’ve been thinking of the sketchbooks as just places to practice various skills, try out color palettes and ideas I’m not sure about, and in general experiment and see what I enjoy. They’re definitely not finished artworks, but I try to make them complete enough that they’re useful and I can learn something from the experience. And also ideas of course for larger pieces. Although I doubt I would ever do a larger finished artwork that’s purely abstract art. Maybe I would try to incorporate some elements of abstract art into finished pieces though. Thank you for the comment ❤️

Thank you for always being so encouraging and supportive!!

Oh that’s a cool way to look at it, I love that!

Thank you!

I love this set! I somehow got it for a ridiculous price on Amazon so it’s one of my little treasures

@@ElaTell sweet ❤️

Oh I’m so happy to hear that! I love that my videos are helpful, that’s always my main goal. Please lmk if you ever have any questions or want me to demonstrate any products or techniques!

Thank you so much! I’m so new to abstract art so that really means a lot 🥰

Thank you!

Thank you so much 🥰

Oh that’s awesome, I’m glad you’re enjoying them! I totally agree, they just feel very easy to use and you can even “erase” them with water lol And thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the art and I’m really happy to hear the video was useful!! That was my main goal with it ☺️

Thank you for watching and commenting 🥰

I’ve seen those Rona’s palettes on RUclips before. And yes, exactly what you said - for me, it’s been a great way to limit my shopping. I mean, there are only so many colors you can possibly need! But I do love shopping so would probably just expand to trying other brands. Anyway, thank you for watching and commenting and I’m glad you enjoyed the vid! ☺️

I totally agree! I was planning on using just the nice paper once I ran out of the cheaper paper but I got so used to using the heap paper, that I like it too and I couldn’t pass up the $4 price tag! And it’s useful for swatches and quick experiments

Hi! They’re permanent because they’re acrylics. But I’m not sure what carbon is?

It is quiver tips for feeder fishing..the upper part of a feeder quiver

@@cairgonul9080 theoretically, acrylics should hold up to being exposed to water. Not sure how well they’d hold up with repeated use, but it’s worth a shot. Although you could also just buy the cheapest acrylics for that since you don’t need them to be lightfast like you would for fine art.

Thank you!! I’ll have to do that then when I finally actually “get” them!

Ah yes, that’s who did the book flip! Thanks!

Thank you so much 🥰

Thank you sooooo much!! I’m so glad you liked it. And of course, definitely taking that as a compliment as she’s an absolutely amazing artist and I should be only so lucky to one day be as good as her 🥰 But thank you for watching and commenting, the encouragement and support means so much to me!

Thank you! ☺️
