Hi friends! I have been using Marie’s watercolour brushes for a month now, and feel that it is enough time to do a review. If you don’t know Marie’s, it is a Chinese brand that makes paints and art supplies. I have previously reviewed Marie’s Masters watercolours (professional grade) if you are interested in reading …
Hello fellow artists! I hope you had a great start of the year. My family and I went to Prague and France around Christmas last year, and as part of my pilgrimage, I visited the Sennelier store in Paris. Though I have used Sennelier soft pastels before, this is my first purchase of their watercolour. …
Happy New Year! I have this Lightwish Watercolour Calendar review for you on New Year’s Day, since it’s only fitting. Without further ado, let’s dive right in! This is my first time doing a DIY watercolour calendar. At the time of review, this retails for CAD$18.99, but I bought it for $15.99 during the Prime …
Hahnemühle Watercolour Book is a 100% cotton journal that retails for CAD$55.99 here in Canada. It is made in Germany and retails for a bit less when purchased in Europe; I had seen it at a Sennelier store in Paris that cost about 22 Euros. This one has deckle edge, which is why I bought …
Hey friends! It’s been a long while and I hope you are doing well in your artistic journey. Today I have a review of Mont Marte Cotton Watercolour Paper Pad, which may be of interest to you. To start, I bought this at my local HomeSense, part of TJMaxx just like Marshalls and Winners in …

Hi friends! I have been using Strathmore Watercolour Travel Journal recently and really enjoyed it. It is definitely one of the better watercolour sketchbooks I have tried. Strathmore 100% Cold Pressed Cotton Paper Strathmore Watercolour Travel Journal contains Strathmore 500 series 100% cold pressed cotton paper, which I have used before. It also comes in …
Hi friends! It’s been a hot minute since I posted. Not a lot going on, but I just lost my mother last month and had been in a rut. I heeded my own advice and tried using new tools to get back into painting. By the way, this post is not about getting ranked or …
Hi friends! It’s been a long time. I played with Marie’s Masters Watercolour before writing this review, which is the longest I have taken. There are reasons which I will get into. I bought this set on Amazon, sold by Jerry’s Artarama from the US. After shipping and taxes, this set of 18 came to …
Hi friends! This review took a while! Daniel Smith Inspiration Set contains 12 half pans of artist grade watercolours, and I purchased it on sale for CAD$80. These are the most expensive watercolours I own to date. By the way, I did not do any research on this set when I bought it; I wanted …
