Art Haul! Tons of Super Fun New Art Supplies!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on different supplies. It has guided me when I purchase supplies. I appreciate that you sell your art in an ethical way, making sure the colors you use are light fast. Hope you have a more restful night, and especially hope that you are still in remission!

Oh my gosh! I love new art supplies! Don't care if I use them, I just need to collect them, because "someday" i will use them. 😊

It only seems to get better and better from there, a relaxed authenticity arises. Like you said recently, you can’t pour from an empty cup. It is lovely seeing you successfully walk through these passages.

It’s really fun and inspiring seeing all your gorgeous swatches!😍

Nothing like getting a box of art supplies!!! Great channel 🎉🎉🎉

Best feeling 🙌 enjoy 💓

Our Daniel Smith palettes must be pretty much identical...haha, except I always get sap green in the 15 ml because I use it a lot with botanicals. I love Dr Ph Martins inks and actually have several of them that I purchased a few years ago. As for Posca, I also love using them. I generally use them with my Arrtx acrylic brush pens. I go through the white paints pens pretty fast when I am making abstracts. They are wonderful for mark-making. I don't worry about lightfastness with them because it's almost always in a sketchbook. I've been following Helen Wells and she is so inspiring for abstracts. Oh my, you hit the jackpot with the etchr sketchbooks! I love Blick customer service. I would order more from them but it always takes at least a week and a half to get to me. That being said, I almost always have an order in every month. Hmmmm, I think there is such a thing as an art mid-life crises. It can strike at any age. I had one when I made the decision that I was not going to pursue a professional career any longer. It made my art so stressful, and it required for me to work hard at getting my art out there. Dang, working hard is not what I want to do in my late 60s. Then I realized that I could make whatever floats my boat, and started exploring and quickly realized that I had absolutely no idea what the hell I was doing. Your skillshare sponsorship came in at the perfect time. I signed up for the trial membership and when I went to cancel at the end, they offered a year at 1/2 price. Heck yes! Oh, I am so sorry to hear you are getting breakthrough symptoms. I am keeping my fingers crossed and sending love and hugs with hopes that you are still in remission! Can you tell I am typing while you are filming? lol Gonna sign off even though you are only half way through because this is already a small novel..lol

Part 2: Ohhh, what a long cold winter you are having! Your IG post didn't pop up in my feed for some reason. I'll hunt it down and make a comment to help the algorithm to keep you in my IG radar. Wow, what a buy on canvases! I already forgot where you said you bought them, but I am assuming Micheals. I love their canvas sales. I still have a handful of them when I last bought from their buy one get 2 free sale. I really stocked up. lol Man, those are some large canvases you got! How fun! The nearest Micheals is over a half-hour from me. Toally agree with you regarding the quin magenta. It is on every palette I have, with the exception of the adorable Schminke palette that I caved and purchased. I had to buy a couple of paints, such as an ultramarine blue, and a transparent yellow. To tell you the truth, for the money, I really prefer Daniel Smith. If I could get Schminke at a local price, I would probably be happy with it. I have a ton of Shinhan that I am going through and replacing the colors with DS. I do love moon glow, but then again, it's used almost all in sketchbooks. I am agreement with you over the concern of professional artists using it when selling original pieces. I've heard that UV glass is more protective than than UV spray, but I have no idea how accurate that info is. I wish Kim Crick would do some testing on that. Well, at the end so I will finally shut up..hahah Hope things go well for you. ttfn!

Great video, thanks Amy💛💛💛
I’m going to dig out my Posca pens, haven’t used them in ages.

Hi Amy, I ❤ those art hauls. Funny enough I got a blick order today! 🎉

You are adorable, and brighten my day. I order from Blick so I will use your affiliate link. ☺

Be careful to properly recap the jumbo posca. But if it dries out, you can soak the nib in alcohol and revive it! You should try that with the big liquitex pen, too.

Absolutely love a good art haul!
I can’t remember if I did comment on your last video or not, but realism stresses me out big time so I do more whimsical style in mixed media. When I work in graphite although my portraits are still whimsical, because I’m enjoying the process and in the creative flow they do look a little more semi realistic. But you have to do whatever makes you as the artist happy and sometimes that does mean exploring and trying new things. Thanks for another great video and seeing all your new supplies it’s inspired me to go and be creative 🫶🏾

Hi Amy. Enjoyed your video while sipping hot tea. Looks like some fun new supplies. Good luck with the trees. I had a wonderful cherry tree i planted specifically for the birds to enjoy. My neighbor scolded me every year for not harvesting them. 😅 I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Hope it gets better soon! I've enjoyed seeing your photos on Instagram. So lovely that spring is here! 😊

Oooh! Yay! A longer video! Thanks!💜💜💜

Enjoy all your experimenting. Have fun and make it a no think zone. I have to get away from home for no think zones.

Jerry's Artarama has bunches of Poscas individually and a lot of the time they are on sale.

Weve been in spring for a couple of weeks here in scotland and what a treat since we had a disaster last year for sunshine.
Im wondering if its age related as im 46 and still trying to figure out my art style. Or more appropriate refigure.
Love a good art haul as it motivates me.
My thoughts on lightfast are to use it for finished peices you are selling but you could use other pigments for prints you can also sell. I use any in sketchbooks but lightfast for final peices even if i dont sell my art. X

Have never purchased from them, but art supply warehouse shows both powder pink and satin pink. They sell thru amazon or direct.

I love Kim Crick and her website too! The art haul was fun. I worked on watercolor snow scenes after Christmas. So now I’m trying to decide what to WC next.

It's been spring for weeks in England - I got sunburnt today! Poor you! Hope spring comes soon xx

Nice supply haul! My favorite paint markers are Poscas and Molotows. I have the new Copic Acreas , but haven't tried them yet.

great stuff you got there....i love schmincke paints and etchr sketchbook. Good art supplies is never a waste of money...its an investment :) Thats what i say to my husband each time i order new stuff lol. Sap green and moonglow is also colors i really enjoy.

I love that you get a little affiliate credit!

Here in Denmark it is spring the fruit trees are blooming and the birds are singing I love this time. When your spring comes later where you live, how long is your summer? I have been using molotow acryl markers, I don't know if it is a European brand? They are Refill markers and you can change the tip, I really like them.
I follow you on Instagram also, love both of your channels

love your channel

Kindly laughing along as you saved money by ordering one less pencil then revealed an etchr sketchbook 😅🥰 (I know that math well!)

Have you tried the Daniel Smiths water color sticks. seem to last longe than the tubes
I am looking for a stand for them so I can keep them out on my work area. Posca pens are fun but I bout Liquitex gouache and it works great!!

Have you tried the Molotow acrylic markers? The Molotow and Liquitex both have a typical chisel tip which provides for greater mark options; whereas the Posca has a somewhat rounded chisel. What issues were you having with Liquitex? I only ask because I’ve had issues with Posca.

Aand you deserve wonderful enjoyable paper!

Joggles has the satin pink Posca available open stock, and probably the other color as well.

I know you said you like the Poscas for laying down a base layer. Do you have a video that demonstrates how you do this? I'd love to see. Thank you! I'll also check out your Patreon.

The way I see it, as long as you notify the buyer about the fugitive colours + let them know ways to prevent it (whether it be getting UV protected frames, storing the piece somwhere away from direct sun etc.) they should be fine to use. Like sure it would be cool to have a painting last 100 years but does that really matter when the person who got it is gonna be long dead by then? lol

I you haven’t grown the extra tall sunflowers before, sometimes they don’t tell you on the seed pack, they need to be planted like at least a few feet away from other sunflowers or they won’t get that tall. They’ll still be quite tall, but not max height.

You are in a much better place this week than you were last week. I am so glad.

Lightfast... hmmm... someone bought a very expensive banana attached with duct tape to a canvas??? I do want my things to stay colorful on my walls because I don't want to have to change them out? But art collectors are weird, in my opinion, and the more money they have to spend, the less they seem to care? I guess if your clothes are only in style for a year, everything must be temporary? This gal wears stretch blue jeans and tie dye tee shirts most every day. I don't really care if they are in style. They are what I have. Winters last too long the less healthy I feel. I hope spring and remission both come your way soon! 🤗

Dang… So let’s say if we signed up on the app and it was 7.50, we should cancel in the app and then sign up again on the website?

Jerry's Artarama has the two pinks you're looking for open stock. ❤

Is there come kind of controversy with Moonglow? I love that shade!
