 What? You want me to film a video, don't you? Hi guys, welcome back to The Average. Today we are filming a travel vlog haul. So I've been a bit quiet lately and that is because we have been travelling. I'm going to insert some clips of that in here now so enjoy that. It was just about a minute long so you don't want to see all the exotic learns that we've been to. Then far forward. But yeah. It's that we went to this store called Art Friend and we were really blown away. This shop was in Singapore and it was absolutely massive and it had absolutely everything that you wanted to buy in there. Including loads and loads of stuff. I'm going to go through the stuff with you and show you what I got and hopefully it'll be cool. So first of all I got this Watson white Watson white? Watson? Watson white. Watson watercolor sketchbook and yeah I'm going to use that. It looks pretty nice. It's got a nice pearlescent sheen to it which is pretty cool. So we're going to see how that is. We've got 15 sheets and it just looked pretty nice. So that's my first my first thing. Next I got this I got some other stuff as well from this shop called NBC stationery and gifts. Actually in Singapore there was like so many shops it was ridiculous. I always wanted some of these Ganzai Tambi gold watercolors and I think they're amazing. Well from what I've seen I haven't actually used them before but I needed to get some when I saw this. These were 19 Singaporean dollars which is about 10 pounds and probably like eight eight dollars US which is quite cheap actually I think. So yeah oh I got these pencil extenders because sometimes you need it you need to extend your pencils when they run out and that always happens to me and I've always wanted some of these. These were five Singaporean dollars which is like two pounds ridiculous. I also got these little post-it notes that are from spirited away. They are just super cute and I had to get them because spirited away is my favorite film and yeah that's some little post-it notes. I also got this really cool looking sharpener. I'm looking forward to using that. What else did I get? You may ask. Well I got loads of pens. So not pens. Some washi tape. I got this Dr. P.H. Dr. P.H. Dr. P.H. Martin's white tan technical ink which I think is super opaque which will be awesome to use over watercolors and things like that. I also got some watercolor brushes because I have never really bought proper brushes for myself. I always steal Chris's Warhammer brushes and ruin them so he'll be glad to know that I'm going to be ruining my own brushes from now on but four different brushes. I like the round kind of ones which will be nice. Those will be nice to use because I have my own my own brushes now which makes sense. The thing that I'm most excited about is because they had Schminke watercolors which I'm super excited to try out because if you want to use Schminke watercolors for ages and now I've got them. The only problem was that they only had a few colors left of the small ones of Schminke and I didn't want to biker up myself. So I only got the primary colors and I also got a green as a little extra because I thought you why not just get a green. You use a lot of green because you know if you have the primary colors you can create whatever color you want technically you know within reasons so I think that's probably just the best way to go forward. Test them out with these primary colors and then instead of my usual student grade Winsor and Newton I branched out and got these professional grade ones which are supposed to be kind of top-notch top tier ones. They're the ones that are more expensive and they're supposed to be more like the real pigment that they use rather than watered down ones. That's the difference. Also I got this little cheapy sort of watercolor palette and I'm going to make my own watercolor personalized watercolor set using these colors that I like these sort of pastel colors and then also using the Schminke colors and mixing my own and seeing what I like and just messing around with it and having fun with it. I also got those washi tapes because I saw that thing going round of people using lots of washi tapes in the art and I was thinking maybe that's something I can use in the future but also I do like a good washi tape to hold down my watercolor paper because when you tear it up it doesn't tear away the paper. I got these kurutaki inks because I was really excited to find them because I've heard um an artist talk about these before they're called mica and there's a gold mica one which I was excited about. I was like yes these will be good they're water-based so they'll work with watercolors but then I picked up these ones and I thought they were black but they're actually silver and that's what you get when you go crazy and just go and buy things in an art shop and lose your your goddamn mind. I've got some grinding ink and a grinding stone because I've used grinding ink before but I never had the grinding stone to go in it so basically what you do is you get this and you put a little bit of water and you grind it up and you get some nice inks and I thought that'd be fun to play around with because it was super cheap so it's worth having a little play around with because that's what we like doing on this channel isn't it we like playing around with stuff. What's up next in my bag of goodies I got these Sakura Pick-A-Mirt brush pens because I really like these pens and they are multicolored so I thought I'd give that a shot because they work with watercolors and don't bleed and finally I love these pencils but where I live you can't get them and I've always tried to order them on amazon but they've always been extortionately expensive or just take loads of time to get here from like the USA or something so these are Prisma Colour Col Arrays pencils and I got an array of colors because I just love using them they're just really nice soft colored pencils that you can rub out and I think they look really good as an underlayer so if you're drawing your pencil then you do watercolor on top they look quite nice I think I went a bit overboard but then again where I live I don't really have the chance to get art supplies like this by myself I obviously can order the stuff online but I don't have the chance to just go to a shop and pick something up and choose and handle it with my own hands so that is why I bought so much stuff thanks for watching guys I decided to film the next half of the video that you will see next week where I'm testing out these art supplies and I'm going to be comparing Sheminke and Winsor and Newton professional grade watercolors which will be quite fun so tune in next week thanks for watching guys please like and subscribe for more content and I will see you next time bye let's take 50 you don't have to eat them all you can have one they don't eat you know what are you all about of course I have to eat them all
