I am back with the 2nd part of my A colourful Christmas blog post. Today I’m going to be sharing with you all the supplies I received for Christmas 2019.
Let’s kick off with Arteza. On Black Friday, my Fiancé ordered for me the 120 set of Everblend Markers, and I sneaked in the 72 set of Expert coloured pencils. We paid via clear pay, which meant we could spread the cost over 4 fortnights, which at this time of year especially is a god send for us as we have a big family to buy for!
Here’s a picture of them in all their glory and, yes, they come in the case so you don’t even need to buy storage!
Aren’t they beautiful! In my next blog post I’ll be sharing my swatch charts I’ve filled in and where you can download and print them from. And of course I cannot wait to start using these markers. I’ve already tested them and they feel great in the hand because of the triangular barrel plus they have 2 nibs, a bullet nib and a chisel nib as pictured below, so they’re great for big areas and finer details.
So amazing I’m in love with them!
Next we have the 72 set of Expert Coloured pencils, which, in my opinion, are better than Prismacolour pencils (and I’m not being sponsored or paid to say that). I have the 72 set of Prisma’s and they don’t compare to these beauties. They lay down beautifully on the paper and the amount of times you can layer them really is astounding. They also blend beautifully with each other, and a blended pencil.
They have a lovely slender barrel with a silky, but not slippery, feel when you hold them. Also unlike other higher costing brands of pencils, I don’t have to sharpen these as often as I don’t have to apply so much pressure. They’re very highly pigmented. It’s safe to say these are going to be a staple supply for me, and I’ve actually contacted Arteza regarding releasing them singularly so we can replace the ones we use more than others....and they said they’re looking into it so watch this space!
Still sticking with Arteza (yes I really do need every supply they make) my fiancé also got for me the 72 set of Inkonic pens which are similar to their fineliners, but better in my opinion. I am still trying to learn how to use these pens to the best of their ability, so for now I cannot give a fair review of them, but you can look forward to that in the near future. Here’s a picture of them:
Aren’t they beautiful!
