 Hello, I got to remember to turn all these things off that makes noise. Let's see Is there anything else in here? Oh, yeah, hello everybody. How are you? I made a mess today So before we get started, I'm going to fix the display on my Add by clicking on this screen and then clicking on the three dots Clicking on the gear clicking 720 Hey Dory There we go nice and clear and sharp. Hey Nancy There's a lot going on the last two weeks and I wasn't going to come on today. I missed another Monday with Deckard I'm sorry you guys. I'm going to try to get back on the Monday with Deckard bandwagon next week But I Decided that I would reorganize some stuff. I'm kind of making a mess and you can't see all of the mess on camera But I decided after watching Vicki's video and if you haven't seen Vicki's video Let me know I will let's see if I can edit the description. Let's see Maybe I can I have to go to the desktop, but let's see Facebook trying to get ready for 2017. I don't want Facebook. Holy cow YouTube Let's see Vicki There we go So I'm going to copy and paste her video right now into the Livestreams Description So you might have to refresh your screens in order to see it and let me save Save okay, it should be there hopefully So after watching videos, hey Teresa after watching Vicki's video, I decided to reorganize my watercolors a little bit And this is something I was thinking about before I watched her video. Anyway, I really want my pellets Up where I can use them on the table And not underneath the table. I'm not getting any younger And you know you get down on the floor to get something and you can get it out All right, but then getting up off the floor is a problem Hey Vicki So after watching Vicki's video and seeing her cute little box and she could just have the box there and pick a pallet I thought that's a great idea, but that won't really work for my studio. Although. I love the box What would work? How could I reorganize my desk? So I went out and bought another one of these from Michaels today Using a 40 they're pricey So if you like these things then use a coupon for God's sake and if you need more than one Get one a week until you have enough and use your coupons because they're pricey So don't buy them without a 40% off coupon, which is what I did and Yeah, out of sight out of mind. It's exactly the problem. So I put it together and it comes with this pen storage thing This thing Which I don't think I'm going to be using I'm not positive yet because you know, why would I be positive about anything? But I did put it together Sorry, Teresa. Sorry. So I thought I would Use this extra one for just the watercolor stuff that I want to be able to use And get too easily. I do have the spare tubes under the desk spare pallets under the desk Pallet parts like empty half pans under the desk That's fine, but I want this stuff. I can just grab it easily and go that I use all the time. So I Thought while I was doing this I would get on and we could just like chat. I don't know and I'm gonna lift the camera up a little bit here Turn on to make you all sick. But this is what my table looks like It's a mess. This is a little bit This is only a little bit of a mess because I actually cleaned it up before I turned the camera on oops Hopefully that still works. Whoops. Yeah, of course you have questions Teresa. That's probably why we get along My employees that worked with me used to I used to say I have questions and then they'd go oh man Because I always have questions All right, so there's my but you can see part of one You can see the other one and then you can see the new one here on the bar on the very far end All right, so we're gonna stack these and what I'm doing is The other problem I have is all my cases are the same What they all even the one, you know, this one is from Schminke. So it says that on it, but when they're stacked They're identical. So hell of a find out what paints in them I don't want to be spending a half an hour opening every single palette looking for the paint that I want to use today So and I'm quite not as quite as compulsive as Vicki where I need to have all my yellows together and all my blues together So I'm gonna just label them. I'm gonna leave them the way I made them. This is my mixed palette. This has Quar, Windsor Newton, Grumbacher, Schminke, Van Gogh, and there's actually some Sennelier in the bottom the pen thingy Right. I I'm compulsive, but Vicki. I think you got me beat Teresa, I don't know what pen thingy and I put a little skinny label tape in my brother P touch So that I won't have to trim anything because I am just you know, I call myself the lazy crafter. There's a reason for that. I Had a phone call from a little while ago from my cousin asking about Setting up arts and craft shows those of you who don't know I used to do lots of arts and craft shows and Anyway, off the top of my head without thinking about it. I gave her like a ton of information The empty container I showed in the beginning Yeah, see I have this skinny label. So I don't have to trim anything Teresa, I'm so confused. I do have this little makeup palette This is actually one that I depotted and I have to edit the video for how I did this because I haven't done that yet But I put a magnet in here and this would make a really cute Travel watercolor palette. I'm not exactly sure what I'm gonna do with it yet But I do want to hang on to it. I actually have two of them and one of them is gonna be a travel makeup palette, but Anyway, I don't know I don't know Teresa. Hi Patricia, how are you? We're just chit chatting here while I'm Cleaning up my mess that I made Because you know I have a palette horde. It's not even a collection at this point. It's become a horde so Vicki inspired me to Clean it and reorganize it in a bit Hey Paula, I did get an interesting question earlier today Just a little while ago actually about yesterday's post where I said I posted a picture from the habit burger and I said that I can't even go out to lunch without grabbing art supplies kind of half joking but not really that I grabbed a blank gift card and Some little salt packets and they and somebody asked what do you do with that? Those of you that are new to watercolor This salt if you sprinkle the salt into some wet watercolor and let it dry naturally. Don't blow dry it It's gonna leave a very interesting texture in your paint when it's dry. Just brush it off. Oh Thanks Paula and The gift card you can you can use the gift cards to scratch interesting designs into your watercolor. Hey, Leah I Look at last week's watercolor Wednesday Where I'm making the feathers because I use a piece of a get old gift card or old credit card to scratch into the paint I Forgot what I was doing. What kind of paint these were this is van go. This is my van go palette Which is funny because I set it up upside down. It should be the other way But it's this way There's very messy these are student grade van go paints and First the most part you can kind of tell because when the student grade paints dry in the pans They kind of crack all over their place I mean, I like these for you know, just doing like tags and stuff. I'm in somebody asked Paula asked where I am I'm in San Jose, California The land of way too many people So I'm just using my label maker and I'm going to put little labels on the edge of the pans I should have my reading glasses on for this because this is really little I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to stick in the drawers yet. I have to figure that I'm hoping you guys can help me figure that out So van go Hole vine so whole vine are okay. They're not my favorite I think they're kind of chalky And I'm not a huge fan That's your party to draw. Where are you at Paula? Oh Well, well, maybe I'm not gonna do any our projects. I was just gonna clean and like share some of my Like I said palette horde That I have here. There's a few interesting things that I've come across. So this is one of them. So we're gonna share So these two palettes look very similar the caught this is the caught men Windsor Newton caught men's which is their student grade Paint and this is the van go. I like the van goes for you know, like I said tags You know greeting cards quick little projects. This is fun Yeah, I'm not a huge fan there I like I'm not a big gouache fan and they're a little bit too opaque for me and they're kind of chalky in my opinion Um So this is the caught men set this these are all pocket sets because I have a pocket Set problem. I like them. That's my problem So this is an interesting pocket set I'm not so sure I like the case, but I eat it's an interesting set I had to have it, you know, it comes with this brush, which I could tell you I don't know if I'm gonna like the brush I Like the Pentel water brushes, so I don't know about this brush. Hey Heather But it's funny that I added this one to my collection and shortly around the same time I found this van go pocket box We're gonna just at this point through the packaging away because I don't know why I'm saving it And this is the van go pocket box Which this I actually like the configuration of a little better I'm not exactly sure why because there's lots of wasted space in here I don't know. I do like the brush better than the Windsor Newton one Because it's not a water brush So the other one is a water brush and it just fits in the same way. I'm afraid it would leak I like the size of this brush plus it has a pointed End so you wouldn't have to bring a you know something like a gift card with you or something If you wanted to scratch lines in your watercolor because there's a little sharp end on the paint brush already I don't like a lot of the paints that use honey as a binder because they stay sticky that being said I don't mind the Sinelli a Pansets but I don't like the Sinelli a tube paints because they don't they stay sticky They're not quite as bad. I don't think is the m-gram paints, but they drive me crazy All right. One of these was so these two were very similar And interesting. I like pocket kits. I prefer a pocket kits. That's this size This this is a day the roundy pocket kit again, we're gonna don't know why I'm saving all of this Packaging this is a shmica Pocket kit I saved up for this and at some point I'm going to switch out my Standard pocket kit with this one and these as you can tell are brand new So 12 color kit I Could take this this part out and Put magnets on these and then I could put all of these in here plus I could fit probably Six or eight Daniel Smith colors in here, too. I'd be it'd be a fun travel palette. So at some point I'm probably gonna do that. I Was a treat for myself for my birthday Yeah, I'm really not an m-gram fan and like I said the Sennelier paints I like but I only like The cakes because they don't stay sticky So the the shmica pop pocket kit is the probably of the pocket kit collection I have is probably the most expensive one. It's not cheap. They're artist grade paints fine quality German paints And it comes with a da Vinci portable Travel watercolor brushes number five round, which is just fabulous and it fits right in here So this is a really great kit. That was a little treat to myself This one and the Windsor Newton one again like the Van Gogh and the other Windsor Newton are Very similar. This is a standard Windsor Newton pocket kit that we can you can get at Hobby Lobby or anywhere This is one. I just really use a lot when I'm doing mixed media work And I don't really care if I you know accidentally stick an acrylic brush in it. It doesn't matter This is a day of the rounding set which intrigued me because it looked a lot like The Windsor Newton set and it comes with a brush. I haven't tried this one yet. It's literally it's brand new My favorite palette I have is my Daniel Smith palette See this is this is the problem when you have all these stacked up like this And you have a tendency to get the same kind of palette box for all your paints if they're stacked up like this I have no idea which ones which So we're gonna label them One of this one of these is my flesh tone palette. Oh, you see here's the whole buying palette They sent me some paints and I have tried them. I'm not a huge fan They're okay, and I'll use them up what's in here Probably, but I probably won't refill this again. I would refill it with something else And this should be my flesh tone palettes I did this custom-made flesh tone palette and there's actually a video for this on my channel I really like this palette if you could only have one pocket kit, which would it be? So that would depend on my budget if you had any budget on the planet and you really love water coloring and You want really good paint? Get the Schminck box Schminck a box And then if you have a few Daniel Smith colors in your collection You can add two of them by pushing all of these pans over This way or that way and you can actually get one more half pan in each row if you do that Or you can take this inside part out completely And get a whole bunch more pans in here and use the Schminck paints that are in here plus The fill them up from your collection with your favorite colors These are really great paints The only reason I recommend this pocket box over say Daniel Smith Daniel Smith doesn't make a pocket box. I wish they did but they only sell tube paints If you're on a budget and budget is an issue Then I have two choices for you Let me find them well three maybe so This is a Koi Koi pocket box field sketch box You can get a Koi Koi box like this at Hobby Lobby It has 24 colors in it and this is a really great travel box I will tell you that when I carry the box like this traveling Every time I had this box with me I got stuck at TSA and they wanted me to unpack my art bag When I carry a smaller metal box like this, I never get stopped So I don't know what the deal is with that maybe the size Koi is a good value for the money I don't I wouldn't guarantee that they're light fast their craft or artist or our student quality This is the 30 color set the pans are a little smaller and the 24 set. They're a little bigger Hey in But either set comes with a nice water brush and it has this extra tray for mixing that you can kind of You know place wherever if you're right-handed left-handed and You have this whole lid to To mix on to if you need it. This is a good value also the win any of the Windsor Newton kits The Windsor Newton Cotman kits are nice student grade paint. They do have some light fastness and again They're available everywhere. Both of these are from hot you well the 24 pan version of this is available at Hobby Lobby You can use a coupon. So is the Windsor Newton kit you can use a coupon. So those are really good Hey Paula, so if you're new to watercolor And you're not even sure if you're gonna love it Then I want you to buy one of these or the Prima now I don't actually have a Prima set It comes actually this let's see. Yeah, this is a Prima box. I I took my primas out and they're in a big box But the primas come in this box. This is the Prima box. It's $25 12 colors It's a really good value. The paints are really nice again. It's probably student or craft quality I don't think they're light fast But if you're just playing around with water to color to try them primas are a good value The only thing is you have to order them PBO makes one too, but you have to order it You can go to your local Hobby Lobby or Michaels and find one of these That's why I'm recommending these. You don't have to order them and then wait for them to come in Okay, so the Koi one I want to say it was like 2495. I think And then I used a coupon This is the 30 pan set and I ordered this particular set from Amazon because my store didn't have the 30 pan in stock But I've had the 24 pan set and the 24 pan Pans are in my travel box. I took them out of this box I put them in a smaller box and added a few Daniel Smith colors. This one is from Hobby Lobby It comes with a brush the brush is actually in my travel kit Um, I don't remember how much this one was but it was I think after the coupon it was less than $10 I don't I don't think it was very expensive. It's a nice basic set It doesn't have a lot of colors, but you've got two shades of yellow red blue green a few browns and a white That's plenty enough to get started and with these colors You can mix lots of other colors and you can just try out the water colors and see if you like them If you get a little set like this and you decide that you like it then you want to upgrade probably to a schmink a box or PBO box or Daniels get some Daniel Smith to paints when I started collecting my artist watercolor paints I We go to my local art supply store and just buy one or two tubes at a time whatever I could afford and Then just start playing. There's no rhyme or reason to it. Just start playing Okay, my thing turned itself off because I'm chatting chatting It's supposed to be making soup. Oh well Yeah, so Koi Koi is a good value and again They have the 24 pan set at Hobby Lobby the thing I like about for me a Really good pocket kit Has to have colors in it. I use a lot and hate mixing one of those is purple Um the Koi box is fabulous. I love it. Like I said my only issue with it is always got stopped at TSA but this box has purples and browns and Dark blues and if this has this is the 30 again 30 pan set. It's got everything in it It's a good starter set the 24 one is too. I love it. I still use it. I just put it in a different box I Got what I was doing. Oh, we have one that's hiding over here a couple of them It is 523 right now Victor and hello. So this is a little tiny one. This is Hmm a master's palette. That's the brand name It's a really small palette it holds the same amount of paint to this one, but look how little it is And these are my mission gold paints. I Really like these mission gold paints. They're really nice I Probably won't get any more of them because my collections are really big at the moment, but I do like them They're super super pigmented and I am used to well pigmented paints, but even for me These have a lot of pigment So a little bit goes out really long way This is a also a master's palette. This is a Oh, I'm sorry whiskey painters palette. I'm telling you the wrong name So these are both whiskey painters palettes This one you can see is a little fatter But it's the same it's the same size and holds the same number of pans Because this one has a flask in it so you can put your what you can actually put your water in here For when you're out traveling you this will hold your water and When you're ready to paint you just fill up it comes with this little bowl put the water in here Put the cap back on and there you go and you can paint. I this is obviously empty I haven't filled it up with anything yet. I just needed to have that. I needed to have this I need to have it for my collection. It is the cutest little travel palette. I've seen in a while I was going to try to order it with a certain kind of paint and I just couldn't get it It was just forever on back order Um Yes, yes the mission gold paints are artist quality Most of them are light fast Like any good quality paints Their light fastness depends on the pigment that's used so I Know right until it's so bad vicky so I'll answer that in a minute Heather So you just what you need to start doing if you're worried about light fastness as you're building your collection And you're getting started with watercolor is you need to really get in the habit and I say this and all honestly knowing that I hate doing this and I frequently just don't even bother But if you're concerned about it, you need to look at your paint tubes each company has their own Way of rating the paints for light fastness You need to figure out what that is and you need to look at their tubes of paint and see which ones are light fast All of the ear brands even Your fine art artist quality brands will have colors in their collection that are not light fast so you need to Be aware of that now mission gold how to have a lot of pure pigment paints meaning that it's not a blend and They have a lot of paints with really good light fastness ratings as does Schminke and Daniel Smith and Sonelia Which I haven't even shown you yet So you need to just be aware Of that and and no I I write when we first got started Heather. I said I missed Monday with deco art again There's just a lot going on around here right now Here's yet another black palette box I So I'm gonna go back out here a little bit to some earlier questions because I think I missed some questions And if I missed your question, please ask it again, but I see that Somebody Jillian a hi Jillian. So not for me. I don't so I like Sometimes not having to be concerned about is the paint light fast. Is it not light fast? Sometimes I'm just fooling around with the technique and I don't honestly want to waste the really expensive Schminke Or Daniel Smith paints trying out a new technique. So I'll practice it with the lesser paints Maybe I'm just doing a quick postcard to a friend. Maybe I am Adding just a little bit of watercolor to mix media background. I don't want to use Schminke or Daniel Smith for that So I'll put out pull out one of these pocket kits for my collection And use one of these student grade paints The same thing goes for my travel palette at some point. Yes I can see me upgrading to this Schminke palette in my travel kit right now I have the same type of box in my travel kit, but it is filled with Koi and Daniel Smith paints I can see at some point upgrading to this one and adding a few Daniel Smith colors to this and traveling with this Most of the time I am way too worried about something happening to my art bag and I would be so upset if this got lost Oh, yeah, Vicki. I want to see that. So this is yet another, you know, this is why we're labeling these today because look here Here's another another black box. They all look the same They're all the same. So here's another one This is a Sennelier. Now, I like the Sennelier paints. Okay. They're a really good artist quality paint I'm not a big fan of their tube paints. They stay sticky. They drive me crazy The sticky the sticking is just makes me insane the cake paints on the other hand. Don't do that I don't think there is pigmented as the tube paints But I like them better because they don't get sticky and I like to play with them And I like to mix the schminke Daniel Smith and the Sennelier all together Depending on what colors I have in the same project and the thing I like about this kit is it has a purple A pain's gray a sepia And some good colors of blue. This is a good color selection. So you've got a nice yellow This is lemon yellow french vermilion alizarin crimson Carmine dioxazine purple ultramarine blue deep phthalo blue forest green phthalo green light burnt sienna pains gray and sepia This is a really good combination for A starter palette of colors for me in my opinion. This is a great selection of colors For me, I don't find that I need more than a lemon yellow And if I did need something that was a little bit on the orangey muddier side I could either add some of the french vermilion to it or I could use the burnt a little bit of burnt sienna okay, so Watercolor markers I do not as much as I should but I do I have a whole bunch of them I have a whole bunch of winter new ones. I got on clearance And I haven't used them at all yet And that's not all my palates. Just that's just the one shelf right empty And I love the watercolor crayons and pencils. They're fabulous. In fact earlier today When I was cleaning up some stuff and I have these Water soluble derwent graphite pencils, which are just fabulous that I bought recently that I've been playing with that are nice And I like sometimes mixing all of those up together in one project Okay, and I still have these big ones here. I have so many bigy you and I are in the same boat So this is my big schminka palettes There we go And you can see this is a well-loved palette I frequently use the schminkas in combination with the daniel smith, which is in this one Again, daniel smith doesn't make a palette. You have to buy the tubes and build your palette But I frequently use these two together. This is my most favorite palette Um, I love their range of colors. They have 238 colors I also love that they're made here in the united states on the west coast I love that And they're easy for me to get the others are a little harder to get So these are frequently I use frequently use these two together their color ranges are similar, but they're a little bit different Yep, I got that daniel smith sticks when I was on vacation and I love them I was only going to get Like four or five sticks. I ended up getting I think 10 because I just couldn't help myself Because you know, I mean I don't have a problem. Do I? Holy cow But there's lots of ways to do a small travel palette Or to start with watercolor paints to try them and not break your budget and spend too much money And if you want to you know, I do recommend right away start out with If you can start out with some artist paints daniel smith watercolor sticks are great But you could get any of the artist quality paints and just get a few tubes You know, whatever your budget is I would go to the store with 20 dollars And I would maybe come out with two tubes of paint if I on a good day How do you smell shminka? mink Oops, that's wrong minka Oh, yeah, see I don't have any in caustic. I have a few oil pastels, but not too many I have chalk pastels. We won't go there. Um, so I have neocolors But if you want a really well pigmented current water soluble crayon The daniel smith has them beat hands down I do have the neocolor paint crayons And I do use them and for mixed media applications They're great But if you're going to do a watercolor piece and you want to accent it with other good artist quality watercolor materials Then go with like the daniel smith crayons Oh, here's a palette. I always see this is why we're doing this. This is a palette I always forget about that I even have these are may marry blue paints. These are a french watercolor And I think they're french. They're french or italian And they are fabulous. Look at these purples here And this red here. This is called dragon's blood. These are artist quality paints. They have some interesting colors I love these. These are ones you can see that they're shiny. These are ones that stay a little bit sticky That's possible. Ian. That's very possible I always tell you guys that if you create a piece of art No matter what your budget or materials and you love it This is the 21st century. Do this smart thing Scan it Take a picture of it if it's too big to fit on the scanner and preserve it that way And definitely keep things out of the sun and direct light If you're going to frame it and hang it on a wall and there's any chance it's going to get any sunlight Than When they frame it have them put protective glass I have two pen and ink paintings from done one from two different ants and one of those ants has passed away now and They're framed in a very 1980s fashion Pink and yeah, it's not attractive. It doesn't match my house anymore. So I need to Frame them and when I do I'm going to have them put more protective glass Daniel Smith has crayons and I have to say to you guys I have I have a full set of neocolor crayons. I like them. Don't get me wrong and for mixed media applications. They're fabulous But I love my Daniel Smith crayons I love them. Love them. Love them Um, in fact, I can pull them out really quick. I know exactly where they're at because I cleaned Let's see. I bought 10 I couldn't help myself. I was just gonna get five and Yeah, I couldn't help myself. So I ended up getting um Let's see some yellows some blues some reds a pink I think there's a pain's grain here or a black Yeah, um, and they have these little crayon boxes For the crayons. They're fabulous. Now. I went to the Daniel Smith store in Seattle while I was when I came back from Alaska My parents live up that way so I Begged him pleaded. Please can we go to Daniel Smith? Um And you know note to self went Go back sometime soon. Don't take the family or the husband with you Because that's just not as much fun. Um in this box. I have Now they don't have all of their colors in the crayons Um, but they do have a good selection of colors and I'm sorry. Um This is quedacredo red quedacredo violet Moonglow burnt umber lamp black I think pains gray. I wanted pains gray and they either didn't have it or they were out Um New gambos, which is one of my favorite Daniel Smith colors um What color is this one? Hansa yellow light Cobalt teal because you know, it's cobalt teal. I had to have it um cobalt blue An opera pink which is one of their colors. I love it is not lightfast But I love this color. So, um Yeah, again scan it, uh And it was really hard to stick to just 10 colors It really really was And their their daniel smith store is attached to the daniel smith factory in seattle And oh my god, you guys i've been to a lot of these like stores that we hear about or see about on the internet and um The websites always got a better selection of stuff than the store usually ever has the daniel smith stores that exception These were sold singly um, and then the box was An extra expense They do have sets of watercolor sticks on their website. So if you're going to order that way They do have sets of sticks on their website in color collections. So just you can look for them there Super pigmented super creamy and you can you can create a travel palette from these by just chopping off A little bit of the end of the crayon And putting it into one of into some of the half pans in one of these boxes These these will work that way And i'm glad you guys asked me about these because I didn't need to be out on the shelf or in one of the little drawers So I know to use them Well, I and you need to make sure that your name and address is in the rack list over in my website And because when i'm not sticking my surplus art supplies in a mystery box And sending them out in racks to be honest with you That does happen where my collection gets too big and I go back and review things and realize You know, you haven't used this Since you bought it So that probably is a hint. So maybe you ought to rack it to some so that does happen So you need to make you guys need to make sure your name is on the rack list because I do that All right, let's see. I'm supposed to be labeling Which one is this one? This one is the van go now van goes a nice student quality paint They claim to be artist quality. I wouldn't classify them that is that I would classify them as student quality And you can tell this is new because the plastic seals on here But this is going to be one that I like the kit, but it's not going to be my favorite Because I don't think there's a violet in here. I won't know for sure till I swatch it, but The box is a little big Yes, I have sent stuff to canada Darlene So in fact, I owe victor a box victor's box might take a while though because sending to victor is really expensive I'm saving stuff for you victor, but I don't know it's going to be a while I just had to buy we had to buy a new refrigerator. Well, we didn't have to we wanted to Thank you so much We have some new what is this one wins or newton. I need two wins or newton labels Uh I'm totally. Oh, I have white knight here too. Yark a white knight. They're really pigmented again They're a fun paint could play around with but they're like a craft quality paint. I'm not super excited about them Um, I got them to do a comparison on youtube And they're okay. There's nothing wrong with them. Um, but if I was going to grab a craft quality paint I would probably grab the coy Um, or um, the wins or newton or the pbo, which I do have two pbo boxes, which I love So this may be one that eventually goes out in a in a kit somewhere They're super pigmented. They're kind of chalky. I think um and opaque You know, but but there's nothing wrong with them, especially if you're just learning watercolor And this one has um good selection of colors in it. I just doesn't have a purple, but I'm not a big fan of the box either Yeah, right Ian. Well, I did send something to mike deacon recently and um, yeah, it wasn't super cheap Okay, how many of you guys saw uh, mike erin and paul do their, um youtube hop where they did the nudes Recently that took guts I loved all of their pages And boy boy were they brave To take the backlash I knew they were probably going to get On my only problem with it was dang it. They didn't invite me. I love to paint nudes. I haven't done one in a while So now I now I might have to do one Oh, that's terrible. How come you don't do coupons? I I liked all of their pages. Um, mike, especially I know did get some nasty comments. I was reading. Um, but um, I thought they were completely undeserved I thought they did a great job And we should show them some support because that took a lot of guts here on youtube where, you know, everybody's very judgmental lately And I've done plenty of my share of nudes in the past We might do one on monday for monday with deco art to be honest with you. Um, because now i'm in the mood I'll try to pick one that's, you know, only mildly offensive Right he put up a really good warning and so then I don't know why people were so mad because that was ridiculous And the male form should be just as appreciated as the female one in my opinion. So All right, let's see that's looking better. It's looking cuter neater. I can find it. Yay I don't like that. You don't have coupons in the uk and maybe you need to come visit the united states so we can take you shopping I have a teacher and friend who does that and when she comes here She comes with an empty suitcase And it goes back full You know, I didn't like I said, I didn't mind it. There is a channel here on youtube that does life drawing Uh, and I'm going to try to find it again Because I've lost track of it Hold on for some reason. I cannot type and talk at the same time. What is with that? I know right no coupons that sucks We'll put your name on the rack list in and You never know Okay What is this one? They they're rounding. You know, I'm doing this without any glasses on you y'all should be impressed Y'all I talked like I'm in from the south y'all Seriously, I'm from california I lived in georgia when I was like a year old but that was a long time ago Yeah, there's another one though too vicki that has timed um Timed life drawing lessons and I can't think of the name right now. I've been rocking my brain all day, so But of course, I haven't bothered to google anything so Because I've been running errands and getting ready for the new fridge to be delivered and all that stuff Which is why you didn't see me this morning on the monday with decor Yeah, we have um, I have a few of them around here and They're all in the husband's office. What does that say? They're all in his office. I don't know what that means Let's see I got a small spell schminke again So so back to back a couple of questions here So e and even if we sent you some racks, would you still get customs and excise fees? Even if we put like gift on there The speed that you have to do the drawings really makes you open up and nancy I agree with you. It would be so much easier to get stuff to victor if you lived here And I don't and heather I don't understand the people that complained either because that didn't make any sense to me Especially when they all gave plenty of warnings and you know, they tell you it's going to be A nude piece or piece with nudity. What do you expect? You know, I I guess I can answer part of that Everybody expects maybe a naked female or a female back or maybe a little boob, right? They didn't expect mike's piece, but you know what? I Didn't have a problem with it. I I don't know It's the mission gold palette. I mean he was a very nice looking young man. So I didn't have any problem with it It's all I'm going to say about that I try to keep it PG At least PG 13 All right, I think I got all my labels made which is amazing because I've been chatting while I'm doing it Well, I don't know how much I put on mike's So hopefully he doesn't have to pay excise taxes or anything Under ten dollars so I could send you this big giant box Ian and I could just tell him it's only worth ten dollars That's what you're telling me Right aliyah, that's what I I agree why complain we it's not like you don't have body parts The same body parts. They just look a little different. That's all I didn't get it And you know from an art standpoint doing a nude figure Especially one quick like in a life drawing class like on youtube and I'm gonna look for that channel So I do think we're gonna do one on next monday It's a challenging the challenging to do it quick and it forces you to open up Um your style of drawing and be more expressive because you have to do it in hurry I I know you I'm getting to that one. Hold on. It's in the corner because it's so round It doesn't fit on the shelf. I found that out earlier See I want to do that I keep losing track of what i'm doing because see you all are here with me and we're all just playing and cleaning my shelves It's a good thing that none of you are here visiting because I'd probably send you home with a suitcase full of surplus supplies I do do that That's easier than putting it in a mystery box Yeah, he yes Teresa. I'm just now. I'm just now catching up with that. Yes, it was it was a that that's for sure But I read trashy romance novels, so it didn't bother me not one little bit Let's see ppo Mission gold You know, it doesn't help to label them and then put the label the wrong way And then we have the white night late the white night palette is like big It's bulky. I should say it doesn't fit It's gonna bug me What if I do this that works? Hey, I got them all on there. This is another pbo palette See This is a fun one because it's round And I have this little tiny turntable. So when I paint with it, I like to do this It's just fun. I'm not a prude. I just try to keep youtube clean, but I'm totally not I'm not by any stretch anybody anybody who's known me for a long time I've I hear you guys say things like that. Oh, she's so sweet and kind. My husband just goes. They don't know you I'm all hush now. They like me. Just leave alone So that one has to just go there because there's no other room for it. All right now I got these two drawers down here. So I thought I would use them to put like some of the watercolor Um surplus in that I want to like have handy But I don't use every day like these little plastic palettes I'm not actually a big fan of but they come in handy, especially when I'm doing like a demo for you guys And maybe a manufacturer has sent me a little bit of paint. I just want to squeeze a little bit out for the demo So I'm going to put these in here This is my little turntable thing I did I'll show you guys in a minute. Um, this is a box of empty half cans These are my little empty tins I got recently that I I want to turn into something and I may rack these but I thought they were too cute This one these are two. These are a little tiny These are a little watercolor. These are kids watercolor, but they hold eight colors Now this one would be good to put a little piece of a what daniel smith crayon in pop these out Put a little piece of the crayon in here. Look how teeny this is You could definitely squeeze that in your handbag or in your carry-on if you were going on a trip With a little journal, which I can't grab right now because it's underneath the camera leg But I have two of these so they're gonna go in here This is the one that came with my um art toolkit that I like using but I don't use this little palette It is interesting. I'm going to hang on to it, but It's done in a business card holder And these are actually eyeshadow pans And they're in here with a magnet It's a really good idea And you could get a bunch of colors in here They're 14 colors So I think I'm going to put all those in there. It's that round thing will fit in clothes Maybe I should do this to something. This is not making sense. So wait Um, yes, I did finish the painting of ant Marcella Her face isn't exactly um the proportions aren't exactly right to her picture But I like the way the particular face turned out so much I don't think I'm going to change it I'm going to leave it I may paint her again But I love the way the painting turned out and I just did not have the heart to change it So it's going to stay Okay, I think that makes more sense Maybe And I got these three koi travel brushes too that were in my surplus of stuff The koi travel brushes my favorite one to travel with because the handle has a plug in it And you can actually fill the handle with water put the plug in and it doesn't leak At all And we're gonna I want to have the daniel smith crayons out because I forget I have them So let's put them up here. I don't need the label on the boxes are clear All right, let's see if I can um Do this. I don't know if you're gonna be able to see. Oh, yeah, you can Angles kind of funky. I'm gonna move the camera a little bit Hope you're all okay with that So I love the way she turned out. She's all done. She doesn't have her clear coat yet Um, but she's definitely finished You can see a little bit of the original painting um coming up here underneath the corner Yeah, I really like the way now in reality my aunt's face is a little longer In the photo I'll show you Her face is a little long. So the proportions are slightly off But I like it so much. I'm not willing to mess it to change what I've done um There's just something about the way it turned out that I love so I'm gonna leave it And yeah, I like the idea of the pro pans in especially when you're doing a large project and um You're using the bigger brushes. It's nice to have the big pan. Thank you I love the round palettes. There's something unique about them By the same token though Um, the robax palettes, which I have two of and I do like them. They're too big At least for my current art space as it is. They're too big Now see I'm trying to type again while I'm talking. Oh, you know what? This tape that's in here is going to be too thin So let's pull this out Put the other tape back in Empty pans. What was I doing empty pans? Uh mixing palette Oops, I spelled palette wrong water brush is Oops You know when I was a kid I um had a hard time. I used to write all my words together with no spaces Sometimes when I'm stressed out as an adult. I find myself doing it again Um, you're welcome. Paula. Have a good evening. Um Gail you too I just thought I'd get on on and chat with you guys a little bit while I was here and yeah All of you who have seen, you know, mike paul and erin's videos show them some love Let's not let the doubters win and you know, if you're you know up for it Do a do something with the human figure and You don't have to draw or paint one. You can collage it like they did I do think on monday. We are going to try repainting yet another one of my um canvas experiments that didn't turn out so well and We're gonna put a nude on there and I may um I don't know I I I may Pull one of the others off. No, I'm not leaving. I thought you were leaving Um, I'm still staying. I'm not going anywhere. Let's see What is in this drawer now? I'm chatting. I forgot uh Empty I bought this label maker Back when I still had daycare. This label maker has been fabulous Um, it's been wonderful And I love it. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, I thought you were leaving No, I'm not leaving We can chat You're probably getting a good shot of my underarm. Sorry Hopefully it's not too hairy So, um, let's see Throw all my little bits away. Everything's it's very messy, you know All right We're getting there. It's getting cleaner I have I found a watercolor journal stuffed in a drawer. See this is what happens. I have too many Pads of paper too much stuff All right, let's put the clip away before I lose it um All right My husband bought me flowers for my birthday and he purposefully picked this painted mason jar because he thought I could use it for a new Um, um jar to put my dirty brushes in. This is the old one Which I love and it has lots of character and I probably won't get rid of it because you know I just can't But I do think I'm gonna just I need to wash these out But I think for right now I'm gonna just switch these over I am the kind of artist that probably leaves her brushes in the water for too long because um Yeah, I'm lazy. I've said that a few times people don't believe me Oh, I'm not going to show you the water. It's gross But there now it's pretty look I'll save this one. We'll wash it out, but It's very old you can tell I don't know if you want to see the inside of it, but There's a lot of paint on that jar Okay, let's see You know gay. Oh, I'm gonna go back to gale's question. I don't know who the model was for the nude in mike's um pages, um, I don't know who that young man was but He was good-looking. Um Yeah, exactly. I don't it doesn't matter to me. Teresa reading your comments and I don't care You know, I don't care. Oh, you know, I don't care what your religious preferences. I don't care what your um personal Relationship preferences as long as you're a good person and you love art and you know That's all that I really care about and I think all of them did a great job I loved all their choices and all of the people all the pages turned out great Yeah, this is my favorite like thing that I still have from daycare. I love my label maker And I prefer I and I'm sorry. I I think you're still talking about the large pans You were talking about the large pans of uh for the paints and um I think you can get a nicer mark and interesting color on your paintbrush with a larger pan um I don't often use a large brush to be honest But when I need to when I am in the mood to do a large piece and I need a lot of walder color I'll just squeeze it out onto the tube. This is one of my standard mixing plates And it's ceramic. It's a white ceramic and this is these are most of my palette plates are that I use when I'm painting Personally, they're ceramic. They're easy to clean. I can use them for watercolor or acrylic and the paint always comes off All this this one's not super clean because it's that's my fault. Um But they're fabulous and so when I'm doing a larger piece I'll just squirt out some paint from the tube and I'll use it I'll do it on here for me that works fine because I don't do lots of really big pieces anyway So for me that works great But I love the idea of a big if I had a bigger studio and I'd have all kind of palettes Yeah, right. That's icky or dying under our hair arm hair gale. That's also icky I do need brush care boot camp in. Oh my goodness I'm so bad because these have been sitting here like I won't even show you the water. It's so bad I'm really good with my watercolor brushes. It's the acrylic or acrylic brushes. It's a good thing. I don't spend a lot of money on them Poor things they get abused Alrighty, let's see time to put the the uh What is this away? All right, time to put this back in the closet. Oh, no, it isn't either crapola I've got one No, I don't you know as long as they're not, you know gross as if they're not, you know Then I don't mind This is a bottle that looks like water, but it's not it's alcohol So I better mark that because I'm going to forget buy heather hand sanitizer. Yeah, I use murphy's oil soap Um, that's what's in the jar murphy's oil soap and water. That's what they soak in until I'm ready to clean them Murphys will get all the dried up gel medium Acrylic paint or whatever off of your brushes stencils If you're like my daughter and you have a truck in front of you drop a can of latex paint And the latex paint splashes up on your automobile murphy's oil soap will get it off And yes, that happened to this weekend Yeah, I have a couple of really big Mostly I just use them for washes in like these are these are from masters touch. They're big flats But I also have like this is a Princeton brush. Look at that one. Isn't that fabulous? um And then I have a couple of really big round They don't fit too well in the half pans. I can get them in there, but It would be better in a full pan I have one that's bigger than that somewhere Okay, so these little cabinets come with this extra thing that's for pen storage. I don't exactly know what I'm gonna do with it Do I wonder if my watercolor brushes would fit in it? They might I'm supposed to be making soup you guys Let's see I missed something What thing is right where? Do I want to know are we still discussing Mike and Aaron's videos? Do I want to know? So these are all my watercolor brushes There is um a lot of Princeton Neptune brushes in here, but I also have some master's touch brushes I could actually rather than just shoving them in here. I could sort of sort them. Couldn't I? Might be handy. Oh, yeah, I told you my brain's like all over the place Well, if I haven't told you my brain's all over the place Here's one of my uh, Raphael brushes. This is really expensive brush Like I'm afraid to like use it because it I don't even want to tell you guys how much it costs There's a lot of money that brush I have a couple of them This might work. I could put them in here and stick it up there Kind of tall though. I'm used to having things in these cans Yes, I'm not even blonde and it's rubbing off on me. Teresa. It's not probably good Why do I have this? I don't even know why I have this This is not a good watercolor brush Maybe it needs to go in the acrylic box Here's another one. Oh, that's a good idea Ian I don't know why I have these two mop brushes in here when I want to do something Where I want to get uh, do a wash with my watercolor paints. I don't generally use this kind of a brush I usually use a large flat brush So I don't know why these are even in here So maybe we need to move that somewhere else. I do know why I have a toothbrush in there that I do know A couple of short, you know, I don't throw anything away I buy pallet boxes that come with these little crappy small brushes, and then I don't throw them away. I keep them Why do I do that? Yeah, see I think those mop brushes should be in the acrylic box. I don't think they should be over here I think they're in the wrong place Maybe it's good that I'm doing this These are um, I don't know what brushes you're talking about But these are nail art brushes and they're really great for doing long thin fine lines in watercolor paint I'm not sure those are the ones you were talking about but Oops. Oh, yeah, hold on. Uh, is that better? I don't know if that's better. Wait, let me move the camera. I don't want to make anybody sick, but Hold on hold on now. I started fiddling with the camera. It doesn't want to stay It's gonna make me crazy Further than I am There we go Monica because now you can see what I'm doing too But yeah, I'm thinking I'm thinking there's a nice space up here that the brushes would be nice in there Here's another one of those stupid little teeny bruh. I don't know why that's in there in the um watercolor brush box I have one of these long A dagger brush I have a couple of these dagger brushes that are cool and I really don't use them very much But I should mostly I don't use them because I don't think I can find them This might be helpful I can just pull the whole box down on the table in front of me when I'm painting Which might be handy So we'll start from the other side with the flat brushes And filbert's I love paint brushes. I know I get you guys don't know that though. Do you? He didn't you didn't get that clue there. Did you? The dagger brushes are very cool. Like I said, I don't use it that much in my watercolor um Because mostly because I can't find it Some of these are still wet because I literally just washed some brushes right before we went live I do wash my watercolor brushes. It's the other brushes I abuse So I Like and see here's another mop of brush that's in the watercolors. This shouldn't be In the watercolor paints in my opinion. I don't use these for doing washes. I use these big flat brushes So I'm not sure why this is in here. I'm going to put it in the acrylic Bin I am going to before I get too much farther. I want to put these in here So if we're going to do this, we have to do all of them Anyway, I was going to say about the paint brushes like with my paints when I Need to stock up or refresh my paint brushes I uh, I use a coupon I go to a sale if you go to erin brothers art and framing They are part of michael's and they frequently have Um brushes on sale buy one get one free buy two get one free So I would definitely say go there And I myself patricia was having problem with the connection and had to refresh my screen refresh Refresh your page And it should come back It did it to mine ipad 2 and I looked behind me and we were still broadcasting so Okay, that'll work These here I think this might work Maybe I love these. This is my favorite flat brush. These are princeton naptoon. This is a one inch flat This is a three quarter inch flat. I love the plastic candles. I love the little um Pointy end that you can scratch Yeah, I have a lot of the um brushes That the water brushes that hold the water. I love them. They are some of my favorite and um When they're on like anything else when they're on sale, I'll stock up on them You know sorting and talking like it's just not my I'm not good at it See here's some more mop brushes. What the heck was I thinking putting mop brushes? Well, this one's a perfect pearls brush, but I don't know why that's in there. There's another sword brush. See Where's the I put the other one? See here's another look at that sword brush Right. It's a lot of goodness. I agree with you Oh, see there's a big round brush in the flats What's hiding over there? What is it hiding in there for? So, um, I like everything else when the um water brushes are on sale. I like the pentel That's my favorite brand when they go on sale. I usually stock up on them There's a couple. There's a bunch of little small brushes in here. I don't know why Look at that So here's two little small alex. I must have got some little alex paint sets and here's some little small They don't need to be in there That will work. I ought to put my glitter back except now I have this thing that's in my way Glitter needs to go somewhere else could be Could be that the glitter needs to have a new home more extra parts It's looking much better Okay, this is going to bug me. This plate is dirty Oh, let's there's a spot on it. So let's clean up All right close up the box of baby wipes That can go here Okay, now I've got a box of glitter Shakers that I have to do something with I have an idea. I think you can go behind the camera Yep, it can So the dagger brushes, um The mine are not made by mac. No, these are Both princeton napton brushes, which is a watercolor brush made by princ- Excuse me Princeton and dagger brushes are a nice flat brush that you can also get a nice line with They make a really interesting mark. Um, I only have the two um For right now So I loved the whole idea um Of the texture and using up all those little bits of texture And supplies and stuff that you have laying around your art room and making some of those texture sheets It's a fabulous idea and we're definitely going to do a step two um I'm not handy with this. I'm always afraid I'm going to cut off a phalange So maybe my husband. I'll have to ask him Um I have too many so I have all I have too many I probably have too many so I have all the ones you saw plus you can see this up here This is mostly brushes. There's a few um Uh Foam brushes, it's still technically a brush And the ones we just did are watercolor Yes, it's it's definitely for like sign writing and letter writing the sword brush I don't use it that much and so I'm not real proficient with it But I hope to change that in the near future Um, like mop kind of brushes over here, maybe Maybe I really don't need any more brushes over here I'm gonna yell you Okay, I have a few brushes. These are going to go in the rack pile Yes, I said rack pile Random active kinds pile. I do have Coming up on a video soon We'll be making these tablet cases And I tell you where I got the case and I show you how I painted it anyway I got two large ones that would fit in the ipad Two small ones that would fit in ipad mini or kindle that kind of size tablet I'm sorry three. Um, I may keep this one, but I'm gonna Rack the rest of them. I may rack all of them. Um I only did them for youtube and so these are going to all go in the rack pile Water-bixable oils. I haven't I have friends that have and they love them But yeah, I would ask around if not here then go over to my facebook page and see if anybody over there has tried them There should be somebody Um, and these organizers, um, I had this one and the one next to it over here. They're from michaels. They're the Recollections desktop organizer They come with this insert for pens which we put up on top today and I put all my watercolor brushes in it um And we use the shelves for my watercolor palettes um Husbands coming in the back door. He's gonna catch me live broadcasting. Hi dear Hi, you can say hi nobody can see you. Hi I'm gonna make some soup because we have to cook up the freezer stuff But I'm leaving about No, I know but we're just eat leftovers. Anyway, the soup is for like tomorrow because it takes two hours to make Yeah a long time. No, I know all right Yeah, I do have a lot of brushes, but I am also really hard on my brushes and Ian's probably right. I need brush intervention um So I tend to stock up on favorite shapes or styles that I have when they're on sale because I am really hard on them I'm trying to improve that though. Really I am Yes, it would monica. It should work really well for lettering and journals So and so these these are not cheap, but like I said earlier in the broadcast If you're gonna get one use a coupon buy and if you need more than one Just go back every week until you have as many as you need and each week use a coupon because they're not They're not super affordable without a coupon And then they've been on sale lately So like none of the stores by me had too many of them in stock I had to had to have somebody call around and see who had them so I could just get one But they work great Anybody have any other questions and then I'm going to go because I should probably eat dinner the husband is home I have a bunch of video to edit um Tomorrow I think and um We will be back Monday.
