Hi guys and welcome to another haul video!
I was incredibly spoiled over Christmas by lovely friends and family members.
And of course myself- you know me, I'm always on the look-out for interesting products!
Many of these items I'll be showing today were Christmas gifts, but I also bought a
few things with Christmas money and my own money as well whilst I was staying with family
in England.
Additionally, the assortment contains both things that are brand new to me and some refills
of favourite products.
First up we have the 24 set of Derwent Tinted Charcoal pencils.
If you follow me on facebook or Instagram, you'll know that I've already given this
set a go and of course it's on my list to review!
Next I have here are some Winsor and Newton drawing inks.
This set has the Henry colour assortment, and as you may recall I reviewed the William
set around springtime in 2017- a link to which will be in the cards and description along
with anything else today I've reviewed before.
I love these inks and I'm looking forward to creating some fun and vibrant paintings
with my new colours
Here we have another 24 set of Derwent pencils!
As you can see, this is the artists line.
I really enjoy using the Black and White six set of the Artists pencils, so I put this
24 set of colours on my wishlist.
The same aunt who gifted me these for Christmas actually also gifted me my very old Derwent
Studio set more than a decade ago- and the Derwent Studio and Artists set contain the
same formula.
My old studio pencils haven't aged very well and I don't think I could pass fair judgment
on them now, so I'm looking forward to reviewing this newer set and giving them a fair test!
Next up are the Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer 36 set.
Again, another gorgeous set of pencils, and a lovely box to store them in too.
I've had a little play with these watercolour pencils as well and I'm really looking forward
to continue using them.
The colours in this set match the Polychromos Coloured Pencils and Pitt Artist pen lines,
so I think at some point I'll have to make a drawing with all three to see how they work
together.
Here I've got two little sets of some of my favourite pencils, and these are for two of
you lucky viewers at some point in the near future!
To celebrate 2,000 subscribers, I'll be running a giveaway here on YouTube where I'll be sending
off sets of these pencils, an assortment of paper and some original art as well as some
other arty goodies as a sort of "care package".
So stay tuned for that- perhaps hit that subscribe button if you haven't already so you don't
miss out on the announcement!
Moving on, I've bought myself some refills of a few things I was running low of- so first
we have the Derwent Artists Black and White set- which is a small set of 6 coloured pencils
containing 3 different tints of white and 3 shades of black.
I also bough another pack of 24 Prismacolor Col-Erase coloured pencils as my most-used
colours are wearing down quite considerably.
I also bought a larger bottle of Zest It pencil blend.
I now know that I like it, and although a little goes a long way, I don't want to get
caught short towards the end of my small 125ml bottle that I originally bought.
I also bought some pencils open-stock to supplement and refill my collection.
So I bought another Derwent Drawing Chinese White as this is a brilliant pencil to use
to add in highlights to a piece.
And similarly I bought some open stock Caran d'Ache luminance as well.
The Luminance pencils I bought another White (to refill my tiny little stubby whites I
have left) and I also went ahead and bought a Titanium Buff and two very dark browns...
which I think are Cassel Earth and Sepia.
These will all be used similarly to what I do with the Derwent Artists Black and White
set: bright and dark detailing for my coloured pencil pieces.
I also bought a bunch of Polychromos colours that I'm quickly burning through- namely the
lightest and darkest colours again.
Additionally, I bought some more Pastelmat- I bought some loose sheets of my favourite
colour- which is the dark grey- so I feel less guilty burning through it for my own
personal projects.
And I also bought a couple of large 50cm by 70cm sheets (which is about 20 by 27 inches),
which I've cut in half so now I have the opportunity to offer A3 commissions.
On top of this, I bought another set of Derwent Blender pens, a Burnt Umber Winsor and Newton
Watercolour marker (as I felt like I was missing a dark brown from the 6 set I own) and 3 Caran
d'Ache fibralo metallic markers.
I actually wanted to pick up for my Fibralo review but just couldn't track them down anywhere
online, until I found them in person at a little art shop.
So I might've gone a little overboard on a Christmas present to myself and purchased
a set of 80 Caran d'Ache Pablo Coloured Pencils!
Just look how stunningly gorgeous they are though!
I've used them a little already but not enough to have really gotten to know them, but I'm
keen to give them a good go soon.
I found these as a bargain on ebay for considerably cheaper than their normal retail price, because
they were from a private seller and had been used once or twice.
Honestly though they had barely been touched- only one had been sharpened a fraction but
otherwise they were as new.
I seriously recommend this option for buying art supplies if you have patience and some
time to spare.
On top of this 80 set, I also bought some extra colours open stock to supplement the
range of colours.
Up next, here I have a few small things that I'd like to compare to items I already own.
So here we have a couple of sets of waterbrushes.
I bought this 3 pack of Derwent Waterbrushes... uhm... which happened to be half price, and
I was given this set of Royal and Langnickel waterbrushes as well.
I've grown madly in love with my Caran d'Ache waterbrushes and I use them very frequently,
so it'll be good to have a little more selection to choose from.
I also picked up two of these Lyra Splender blending pencils.
In the comment section of my Coloured Pencil Blender comparison, I remember somebody asking
what these were like compared to some other brands of blending pencils, so now I can find
out!
I also received another awesome Christmas gift- a set of 12 Winsor and Newton Cotman
half-pans with brush, which seems to be perfect for going out and about.
And I also received a really beautiful and thorough book on watercolour techniques.
I also found my set of 40-something halfpans that I remember receiving when I was about
8 from an encouraging arty grandmother.
Looking at them now, it doesn't appear that I used them very much as a child, but I suppose
that's a positive thing for present-day-Claudia as I can now can put them to good use.
I also got given these Kure-Art brush pens, second hand from that arty grandmother again.
I've swatched them out and they are really fun and think I might have to do some doodles
and patterns with these.
Next up we have some more paper.
I have two little Strathmore Toned Mixed Media pads, which I found for relatively cheap on
Jackson's Art Supplies.
I've seen some gorgeous things created on this paper so wanted to try out each colour
for myself.
I was also given this very slightly used A4 pad of Fabriano Artistico Cold pressed watercolour
paper, which I think will be perfect for the inks and watercolour I received too.
Here are three loose sheets of Spectrum Colourfix paper, which is a type of sanded paper for
pastels.
An I found these gathering dust in an art shop and I managed to haggle down the price
on.
You certainly can't beat a good bargain!
And on top of this paper, I ordered some more sanded paper- the Canson Mi Teintes Touch,
but I'm still waiting for it to arrive with me.
And I explained the whole ordeal in my update vlog so if you're curious you can check out
the story there.
Whilst I was in England I also bought some of these mounts or passpartouts, which for
some reason are incredibly expensive for what they are here in Norway.
I've yet to decide if I intend on selling pieces with passpartouts already included,
or if I'll just be using them to photograph my artwork with, but either way I'm sure they'll
be useful.
On a simialr note, I was also given a load of thick mountboard as well which I think
I'll use to protect originals and commissions during shipping, or perhaps I'll get something
I can use to cut the board with to make custom mounts for my work.
Finally, finishing up with two items that were indispensible during my trip!
I bought a Derwent Carry All bag to safely haul my pencils around with me where I went.
On top of this, I also bought two extra "pencil leaves", which fit into the bag in a ring-binder-like
system.
This bag fits a huge amount of pencils.
I have 5 of these leaves, and they are double-sided with each side being able to hold up to 22
pencils.
So excluding the other space available in the bag, you could easily fit 220 pencils
in here!
As you can see, I've currently got my 60 set of Polychromos and most of my Pablos in here
right now, and I've found it to be really convenient at home as well as it's a lot easier
to flip through this bag to find pencils I need rather than open a bunch of different
pencil tins.
And one of my favourite purchases and most-used so far, although surprisingly simple, is this
crank sharpener, the Derwent Superpoint Mini.
I still love my KUM longpoint handheld sharpener for slipping into a pencil case, but this
large crank one just makes life so much easier with coloured pencils.
A couple of cranks and pencils become needle-sharp!
So as you might be able to tell, it was quite the challenge to get all of this stuff in
my suitcase for the way back to Norway!
It all made it through in one piece though which I'm very pleased about, although I took
the majority of my pencils with me in handluggage because I just didn't feel brave enough to
leave them alone in the hold!
This way I also got to make the most out of my time sitting on the planes and in the airports-
I was able to do a bit of arting on the go!
I'm currently working my way through review videos and I still have some items from previous
hauls that I plan on reviewing, but if you're interested in learning more about any of the
