Hi friends! I haven’t bought art supplies in a while, so I went on a bit of an art haul from Blick and Hobby Lobby and tried out a mix of new materials. I’m also doing a mini sketchbook tour!
In this video, I’m unboxing, swatching, and sharing my first impressions of everything from pencils and markers to paints and pastels. I was especially excited to test a few new-to-me supplies and see how they perform.
Some of the supplies featured include:
Sakura Solid Markers, General’s Chalk Pastel Pencil, Derwent Drawing Pencils, Liquitex Acrylic Paint, Nova Color Acrylic Paint, Master’s Touch Paint Brushes, a Bristol Sketchbook from Hobby Lobby, Faber-Castell Aqua Dual Markers, Caran d’Ache Neoart Pastels, Derwent Procolour Pencils, and the Copic Acrea White Marker.
This is not a review from a professional standpoint, just honest first impressions from an artist exploring new tools, textures, and materials. If you enjoy art supply hauls, swatches, mixed media experimenting, or seeing how different materials actually perform, you’ll probably enjoy this one! Thanks for watching!
