 Nah. Press live. My accident. Just bear with me guys, I'm trying to set up the camera. My setup, which is a little bit rubbish. Sorry guys, I'm making a seasick. I'm such a professional right now. How's the music and everything? I always do that check. Is it too loud? Am I too quiet? Yeah, I accidentally pressed live as I was trying to set up my device. That looks a bit better isn't it? Cool. Hey everybody, welcome. Your name is Sakina. I don't know why you want me to say your name. Is the music okay? I feel like it's too loud. Okay, we're just going to be opening some palette full packs today because I got sent them and then I was supposed to do a video with them but I just never found the time. So I thought I'd do a little live stream quickly. I've only got an hour. We can do a lot in an hour I guess. Right? Just going to pour my coffee because I'm super needing caffeine right now. Ah yeah. So palette full packs are like a creativity box. They send you one a month for a fee and then you get random art supplies in them. So I don't know what's in any of these. I'm sure you guys know what's in them probably because you've probably watched other people unboxing these on the right time. I'm just going to say that I'm live on Twitter. Is it still too loud the music or is it okay? I'm kind of shouting though. I'm kind of speaking really loudly. I always call them palette full boxes but they're not. They are palette full packs. Very hard to say that for some reason. What the? I tried to tag a palette full pack in my tweet and then it said parry war. It like automatically changed it to parry war which is kind of weird. It's perfect. Crank it up. Okay good. Good. Get some coffee. Let's settle in guys because we're going to open these palette full packs. Let's do it. This is the first one. I do not know what month it came. It's probably been a while. Yeah. So let's open them. This is the first one. If you can see it. It always comes with this stuff and it kind of annoys me a bit because it gets everywhere. Like it's fun the first time you open one. You're like yay. And then after a while it's like oh I'm going to throw all this out now. So this one has come with a nice watercolor brush. It's called a we mop which doesn't sound very appealing. Does it? And that weird shrill giggle in the background was Chris by the way. It literally says it on the handle we mop which I don't know if anybody like considered that how that would sound. It also comes with a nice watercolor. Wow. Watercolor sketchbook. If this wants to stay open. I ripped it. I'm sorry. I think that made anyone cringe. We need to see what's inside. This watercolor sketchbook 400 pages. Pretty good. Strap more. And it's called press. Nice. Very nice. Thank you. We mop. Like honestly. And then oh a palette of Van Gogh. I've never really tried these and I think I had like one and it was never really like a massive fan but maybe this will make me try them. It comes like this for some reason. I think it probably fell off. Oh these things are so annoying. They're like cute and then fun and then really annoying. They've also kind of stained the palette a little bit here which is strange and that's the palette. It's kind of cool. And then the brush I think is a really cool one that you a travel one that you can do that with which is kind of nice. I like those. Heck yeah. And then we have like lots of nice colors. Peel them off here. Okay the glue is kind of stuck to the. There you go. Be free. My beauty is be free. Very nice. It's nice and a little set isn't it? And it also has like the wells here for mixing which is cool. I keep saying cool for everything. I'm very sorry. I'm not very. I'm not very awake. Probably should be the even though it's nearly midday. It is midday here. Okay so that's how it comes and then we have something else in here which is watercolor postcards. Nice. I might do something with these for my my patrons. Let's see. I'm thinking about changing up the patron tiers for my patrons because I recently got a creak up and I want to I want to have a go at making stickers and stuff. So let me know if you guys would be interested in that because I'm not really sure like when I first set up my patron it was kind of like it was to help make it a bit easier on me so it was like more relaxed and making prints and stuff every month. But now I'm thinking now I've eased into it. I think I want to do like a print and stickers a month like that kind of thing. There's a hole you put the end of the brush and it pops into the mixing tray. When? Hang on a second. Okay I'm ripping this thing. There's no need for this is there and I can't get it off. Making everyone cringe. Step 2020 here. Um where does it go? Oh I see. Oh my god if you hadn't said that I would not have known. That's so clever. I love it. I don't imagine when I would use it but I would make an excuse. I like this. That's really cute. What do you guys think about Vango watercolours? Are they any good? Because I've never really tried it. Pop it out. Pop it up. Pop it up. Put it back in. Pop it up. Very handy. So you're out on your oops I mean poop and you're doing some planar and painting and then you're like you know what I need to put my paintbrush down. Boom. Very nice. Very nice. You tilt it and the tray pops. Oh my god I'm learning things guys. I'm learning things from you. How? The tray pops out. Come on pop it out. How'd you do it? Are you sure? I mean it looks like it should do. Use the hole. Ah there we go guys. Oh I see. Okay that that makes sense. Thanks guys. Oh that's clever. Okay we're going to be using that. We're going to be using that guys. It's 2020. Let's live on the edge with our our wee mop brush. If you've just arrived I'm opening powerful packs and I received a wee mop brush which I'm I'm never going to get over because I think it's quite funny. Spenny Almus, the wee mop. Wee mop and some nice watercolour postcards and a watercolour sketchbook and then we're going to open the next one. We try to have painstakingly already cut for you guys so it's pretty easy. That was cathartic yeah when we finally figured out how how to do it. It probably was quite nice to see it. I have a 20 year old Van Gogh palette. Wow. Wow that sounded really sarcastic but I was actually interested. That's impressive. I prefer Schminke. Yeah I really like Schminke but I did what's wrong with me. I spend so much money on art supplies but I'm always like oh I want Schminke but it's too expensive and then when I have a chance to buy I'm like oh it's too expensive and then I buy like 20 other thousand paints. That's so stupid. I think the wee mop is my new favourite paintbrush though to be honest like okay next box and we've got more of these delightful things I get everywhere which are quite fun but yeah let's get into it. So we've got some koi watercolour brush pens. My arm just got stuck to that sticker that I peeled off the palette which seemed quite nice. I've never used these before. Let's check them out. Oh nice. Water-based dye stuff ink. Looks good. Looks good. I would not say no to those. I asked you to say my name because I wanted to be reminded that you recognise me. Yeah sure. I find myself avoiding expensive paints as well. I get too nervous to use them. I don't get nervous using them because I'm like hey I'm so excited when I get stuff I'm like yeah and then I'll probably waste them but yeah I don't know why. If you spend money in small sums like a lot of small sums over a period of time it seems less than just spending one like on one big purchase which is so silly. I find myself oh I've just read that sorry. Just a question do you know BTS? Yeah of course. We stan. I don't know them that well though so don't test my knowledge. Don't come for me. Um yeah so I've got Micron pen. I've got a few of these so I'm not that wild but that's pretty cool if you don't have them. I mean I would have been one like a few years ago when I hadn't really heard of them. I also have this big pigment BB pen and I also have this white general pen but I will not say no to more of one I already have that I already like because I already like all these things so it's pretty cool. I'm good thank you. How are you? I bought three tubes of lucas in magenta I maybe said magna in magenta yellow and cyan and mixed all of my own colors that's awesome. Yeah that's what I did kind of I bought like little tubes of them to see if I like them the instrument k ones and I did but now I would like I like more because I'm greedy like that. What else do we have? Oh another Micron pen and a pigment fine liner I haven't tried this one so that'll be interesting. This is pentel. I really like pentel stuff so yes very nice they're all waterproof I think so that's good because they'll work with these watercolor brush pens and then we have some paper some stone hench aqua okay I'm just reading about them cold press hot press and cold press heavy so they have like all the different stuff that you can find out about watercolor paper which is pretty interesting because I was always confused about what cold pressed and hot pressed meant interesting I wonder if it says on each sheet which one is because I would not be able to tell myself I live in Gibraltar which is a British overseas territory on the coast of Spain it's not Spanish I can never remember which is which yeah me either I'm like and even this I'm like are they gonna tell me because I'm gonna definitely mix these up I don't want to try the paper because I feel like that will be wasteful so I want to plan something if I do that if I use that paper okay provide little spaghettis let's hope that you never come back I'm gonna be finding these in like drawers and things for days because I get the cats will get it okay um what's next that's it um let's try let's try stuff I can't wait to try my we mop guys we mop while you're looking at me hot press is not as grainy as cold press yeah and I think cold press like the I believe that the water takes a while to absorb so it's like drying times are a little bit longer right right guys what are you reading at the moment I'm halfway through the boatman's daughter by Andy Davidson it's dark and grim and magical it's brilliant that sounds cool um I was I just finished a book it's called out um it was a very weird book like it was good and then it had a very strange ending and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not you know yeah um but we're also doing a patreon read if you're interested in books we read a book a month and we create art together and chat and I send stuff sometimes so I have to plug my patreon guys I'm sorry I'm trying to I'm trying to build it up a little bit because then it would be nice to uh don't tell my work but work on this stuff all time secret between you and me I hope no one from my work is watching I love my work I don't ever want to leave I'm just gonna get some water for the watercolors okay I have returned asked because none of the UK is so sunny yeah um so it's usually quite sunny I don't know if this is better or this is better that's better um I mean it's supposed to be the end of summer and it's still quite warm here which is kind of normal but then I'm hoping that in October it starts to get a little bit cooler and then um November it's cold I believe I can't wait it's so hot over the summer here really do you have a favorite novel I'm always looking for recommendations well um we just finished Mexican Gothic which I probably if you follow me you might know in my patreon thing and I made these little mini prints for everybody in my patreon and I really like that book it really surprised me it was a five star read so I would say that's my favorite book of the year right now but my favorite novels I have 10 I have like a few of them um I really like to kill a mockingbird noughts and crosses salt house five um pachinko horns a handful of dust I really like the hate you give I'm sorry it's a bit rubbishy because it's like um to just say loads of books isn't it I don't really have a favorite I wish I could join patreon but I don't have a job at the moment no worries like totally understand totally being there that sucks it was orange here in California last week yeah that did not look very nice that looked horrible um guys it's time to use the we mop this boy you've been waiting your whole life for it's we mop time um so we're gonna use this stressful watercolor cold press paper yeah um I don't like how it kind of stops here so I'm gonna pull it there we go okay so let's just test out the van go paints with the we mop shall we I'm particularly drawn to this orange first oh I like the paper the paper's nice as you know if you follow me I always say if you follow me but I guess if you're here you probably do follow me I don't really like doing swatches so let's try and figure out something in the campaign just go for it the we mop is holding up guys it holds a lot of we I mean water that was a gross joke isn't it I'm sorry I'm really sorry about that so I I'll get my coat it's 4 a 30 a.m go to sleep or wake up I don't know what do you do at that point do you go back to sleep or do you wake up you rock thank you Reaper Man I'm reading Reaper Man by Toe Pratshit cool I never really got into Toe Pratshit but I think I should give him another try I think I Chris I think I tried to read him when I was like younger and then I just I don't know I didn't understand it I guess so maybe as an adult I might enjoy it more does that make sense I think I was very much more into like romance and stuff when I was younger even though I hate to admit that young me would be like no I've been just like stories death goes missing so people aren't dying properly oh yeah I think I've heard of that actually oh that is really an unnatural green uh let's mix it yeah so if you guys do not know I I'm kind of this artist who just goes for stuff so I probably will make a mess of the paints and things like that um that tends to bother some people sometimes but I'm just you know I just do what I like and I go for stuff I don't know what this music is by the way I'm playing it from this new music streaming service no it's not streaming services um royalty free service where you can pay for like a pass and then you can get the music and use it for your youtube videos and stuff so I'm just playing stuff off that website at the moment so it's random it's just jazz at the moment so we could uh change it to something else I really like this paper um and I really like this color I've made the paper is super smooth because it's like it even has it it sort of has like a a shininess a shine quality to it because it it it's like I don't know what I'm trying to say like it's a slippery surface so it's kind of um pushing back against the water which is nice because then you get some like really nice textures going on some stories are not easy for kids to understand I'm listening to Neil Gaiman's American Gods yeah definitely I think I because I remember trying to read um to kill a mockingbird when I was probably like first this is a Christmas song this is not what we want I tried to read um to kill a mockingbird when I was younger and I was like what what's happening and then I read it as an adult and I was like this makes sense I don't know why I was troubling but because I was a kid I guess let's change the music acoustic I don't know what to play let's play some chill music you know you're reading crime and punishment now that is a hefty book isn't it my friend
