Oh this looks like a super fun challenge. Would love to take part! 2025 is supposed to be a low buy year for me too but I couldn't resist getting some watercolour markers and paints 😄 I'm brand new to the medium and I'm having a ball so far!

I just bought Smalt blue gouache from Holbein yesterday, a colour I have drooled over for years but never got around to picking up! (I'm kicking myself for not buying it in Japan because I paid 3x what I would have there...)

Smalt blue from Holbein is so good 😍 I have it in colour pencil! Next time you return to Japan you got to restock 😅

Woww that would be wonderful to see Lisa! I like a lot Holbein as a brand 😍 I have some pencils and gouache, love them. Art supplies made in Japan usually have so good quality!

I really want to try their shell pink watercolour! I’ve seen Joy Ting using it and it seems like a lovely warm pink! 🌸

Count me in! This sounds exciting 😃 my immediate reaction when I saw the colour choices was NEO COLOURS 😍 but I’m excited to find some other choices too. I’m really into layering and mixing mediums at the moment.

I’ll give your YouTube a watch tomorrow when I have my morning coffee — could you share a little bit about the editing process? I’ve felt a small pull to recording content but long form, the editing part is off putting 😑 are you learning as you go? What was your starting place? I’d need to start from scratch, which is why it feels like quite a big commitment…no rush to respond! Thanks ☺️

So happy to have you joining Louise 🥰 some of these colours came from Neocolors swatches so you have a good eye! About my YouTube journey, more precisely the editing process, I am learning everything as I go :) usually what I do is I try to improve or learn a new feature in each video I make, and I learn by watching videos on YouTube 😁 luckily there are so much how to videos! I started doing my videos in IMovie, then I changed to CapCut (free version), but not sure if I will try Final Cut Pro next. The editing part is really time consuming 🫠 and by the end of editing I simply cannot hear myself anymore (and I don’t talk too much on my videos 😂) but there’s also the feeling of realization by the end which is so good ❤️ I would say to give it a go if it’s something you really want to do, and from what I hear/read the first 50 videos or more will suck anyway so don’t wait till you have all figured out. We get better as we keep doing it, like art! Have a nice weekend 😊

Oh, i’m excited for this color challenge. Can’t wait to do it. I am also on a low or no art supply deal this year. But I have bought a set of the art graph paint the red yellow blue that I bought secondhand and I bought tubes of cadmium red paint and cadmium yellow paint. After doing an inventory this winter of my art supplies I was quite embarrassed with what I have accumulated and not used so I’m working to use them all.

Thank you Emily ❤️ Colour Week happened this week but you can totally join whenever you want and please share if you don’t mind, would love to see it 😊 we artists love to accumulate art supplies, it’s a thing 😂 but I am like you this year, I am trying to use more what I already have!
