Haul

Dear all,

Sorry it has been so long. Since finishing my assignments I have been trying to sort out my new products so I could show you in a video. I have been making palettes and making colour charts etc.

I have done some art work which I show in the video. I will also be posting pictures below.

As mentioned in the video I bought the Caran D' Ache Pablo pencils. I do have a selection of Prismacolour pencils but in my opinion the Caran D'ache Pablo pencils are softer and I prefer the look I can get with them. I did manage to get a bargain on them but I have been looking to buy these pencils for a long time. I would purchase these pencils at full price in a heartbeat.

The Supracolour pencils are gorgeous also. They are nice to use and lay down very nicely. There is plenty of pigment and they are re-workable. I will be buying the full 120 set of these in the future.

The Inktense pencils are different to the Supracolour pencils, or at least that's how I justified buying both :), in the sense that the inktense is more vivid so if you want a subtle colour the Supracolour pencils work better for that purpose. The Inktense are not re-workable so if you want a permanent colour then the inktense are for you. Finally, the Inktense can be used on fabric, which is why I purchased these in particular.

If I had to pick one type of watercolour pencil, for my purposes, then I would pick the Caran D'Ache pencils. This is just my opinion and I am sure that there are people out there who only have the Inktense. Luckily, I don't have to pick and I have the benefit of using both.

Lastly, the Peerless Watercolours I have wanted for a long time. I finally decided to just go for it and purchase the full set. The palette took a long time to make but I don't regret buying them because the colours are gorgeous and they are very portable. The baby palette I made is very useful. I do recommend testing the colours before you arrange your palette so you can get them in a colour order that you like.

I decided to do a test with a Stampin up blender pen and it works well for both the watercolour pencils and the Peerless Watercolours. I am thinking of using that instead of a waterbrush just so there is less mess and I don't have to carry water around in my handbag.

I hope you enjoyed. I will be back shortly with a scene.
