FREE SWATCH CARD

Why not start the new year right with organizing your art supplies and have a nice swatch card with them?

I made a free printable swatch card just for that and you can find it at my ko-fi

So let's talk about the cards. I suggest printing them at A5 size with paper that suits you media well (eg: 190g/m² watercolor paper for your water based media)

You can use this for pretty much any art supply as you have 1 extra row for each color and one extra space at the bottom so you can add any extra info (such as light fastness or even score it for yourself, add notes and so on!)

Happy swatching everyone!

i forget there interests I don’t really talk about to other people or keep to a minimum bc I know they’re not the most conventional but I have a huge special interest in crayola art supplies/and collecting and I have almost every recent release of specialty crayon and I get so excited when they release new ones . I got so excited recently bc they just released swirl crayons ( I think they’re a revival from a 90s version) but I’m literally so fucking excited you don’t get it. you don’t even know. Sorry I wanted to ramble. Hark! to my completely unrelated tumblr blog I go!☝🏽

Recently received my TWSBI Eco Creme with a custom needlepoint grind from Kirk Speer (@penrealm), and I’ve been scouring my collection for the perfect ink to pair it with. It made me realize I’d never actually added swatch cards of these Robert Oster Signature inks from Pen Chalet to mu Col-O-Ring deck, so I took some time yesterday to add them in!

Pictured Fountain Pen Inks:

• ⁠Robert Oster - Brandy - Warm shading amber/orange

• ⁠Robert Oster - Whiskey - Warm shading amber/orange(slightly darker than Brandy)

• ⁠Robert Oster - Green Lady - Vibrant green with fine green shimmer

• ⁠Robert Oster - Blue Martini - Well flowing blue with subtle shading in a dry writing pen

• ⁠Robert Oster - Pink Squirrel - Dusty purple/pink mauve with lovely shading

• ⁠Robert Oster - Detox - Olive warm green

Unfortunately, none of these made it into my new TWSBI. 😅 Still on the hunt for the perfect match!

Finally had a chance to open the gouache set that I bought a month or so ago that had just been sitting on the counter all sad and ignored like, and I sat down and did one of my favourite little tasks.

Colour swatching! I find them so chill to do. Such a turn brain off and vibe kind of task, I really enjoy making them.

Made a point to specifically cut the paper so it would fit right into the lid for easy access, and I laminated it so it would get sullied down the road.

I wasn't kidding, I love making these for my assorted art mediums.

(Plus bonus cool plate I found at Michael's the other day in the Clearance section lol)

I still can't believe I won one of the official World Watercolor Month Giveaways but here we are 🥰 The supplies arrived the other weeks & I'm absolutely over the moon & grateful to now have them in my arsenal, especially since it's not that easy to get my hands on them here 🙃✨

At first I wasn't quite sure how versatile the colour palette of the paints in the set would be as it is a rather unusual colour selection. But having since painted with it a bit, I'm impressed at the range of colours I can get with just these 5 😍

The Princeton Neptune size 10 is the only brush I've tested out so far. It honestly does everything I need from tiny details to big washes, so I didn't feel the urge to reach for the others (yet) 💙

I have yet to be brave enough to try the paper 😬 It seems really nice & I still have that silly fear of "ruining" paper but I'll eventually have to face that one 🙃✨

I got my markers in and tomorrow I should have my new sketchbook (and book 5 of monster finally) and I will be doing SO much arts.

Thee went to Michael's during discounted Friday to see the deals they offered. Thy mother helped pay for the expenses of the art supplies.

The Crayola's were on sale for Buy one get 50% off the other. I tend to mainly end up with purchases of copic markers even if 1 or two.

As recommended by some artists on youtube videos, thee did a swatch page with the materials. It was very fun.

[epicmilly]

my friend got me these kinda crappy markers for my birthday but i've been having a lot of fun playing round with them!! decided to swatch them last night :D

the top left ones are alcohol markers and the bottom right are water based! i also used a paint pen to label them all and my shmancy calligraphy pen B)

This time I tried to keep the poly counts low. I even added a lesser version of the music box because found its polys too high. You can use both versions at the same time if you want. You can quickly access these items by searching “wooden” or “aira” in the game. If you run into any issues please let me know. Hope you like the gift. Happy new year!! ❤️🎁

❀ Music Box and Bear Cutting Boards were suggested on Pinterest. Thank you very much to the people who made suggestions!! ❀

retired ghoap going on a renovation competition show

ghost takes over the budget and he's ruthless with it; tracking every paint swatch and piece of lumber down to the last cent, haggling for every purchase and making the most of their coupons. soap's in charge of design; he can visualise floor plans better than anyone, seeing the completed spaces in his mind when they’re little more than a steel shell

they run their site like a military base, treating their builders like rookies; expecting them to follow orders but also waiting for them to inevitably mess up so they can fix it

they're an immediate shock to the judges; they fully expected them to have no idea what they're doing, to have no understanding of style or trends, but they didn't sign up just for shits and giggles

they know how to hit a brief and can do physical labour faster than the actual builders. with soap's discerning eye and ghost's practically, they design gorgeous rooms and become a real threat for the prize money. they handle the stress and sleepless nights like it's second nature bc really, it is; a few all nighters painting are nothing compared to being shot at

they also take great joy in messing with the other couples

it takes a while for them to figure out they're even married; they argue like it's going out of fashion, never holding their opinions or frustrations back but it's their love language as much as their banter. you can hear them barking at each other from across the site; callsigns and “It” and “sergeant” thrown around just like in the field

the challenges are where they have the most fun

the day to day? that's work; they're strict, both with themselves and the schedule, never letting anything fall behind or go incompleted. but the challenges? that's play time. they love pushing the brief, toeing the line of the rules purely bc they can

they get to a two part art challenge and ghost's scheming before before the host even opens their mouth. part one? one half of the couple has to design some kind of art piece that will feature in their house. part two? the other person has to gather supplies and tools and make the art

there's a time limit for how long they can take to gather the supplies; once it's up, they can't go back for more and they can only use what they can carry themselves to their station. they're in a warehouse filled with scrap and paint and tools, the choices almost overwhelming

ghost politely interrupts the host to ask for a clarification; absolutely anything in the warehouse can be used so long as they can carry it?

the host confirms; anything under the roof is their's to use

ghost thanks them and steps back in line, standing at attention and waiting for round one to start

ghost volunteers to be the one to do the art, shocking everyone since soap is well known as the artist of the two of them. but soap sees the mischief in his eyes; he knows he's up to something and can't wait to see where it goes

the timer starts and ghost immediately shucks his hoodie and gets to grabbing; stuffing the impromptu bag with everything he recognises from soap's own supplies. there's seconds to go when he bolts for soap, throwing him over his shoulder in a fireman's carry

the other couples are pissed and call it cheating, trying to get them disqualified

ghost just shrugs, soap still over his shoulder, "they said we can use anything we can carry. i followed the brief"

soap just laughs like a mad man

they win the challenge by a landslide

everything's going smoothly, they've won enough room reveals that they’re in a good financial position, they’re ahead in their current room and in a great headspace

then soap gets injured

it's an honest mistake, a part of the roof they thought was stable collapsing and hitting soap

and ghost, always calm and in control, panics

he's on the other side of the site when he hears soap cry out and goes running; shoving past cameramen and builders, screaming to know what happened before he even sees him. he finds soap on the ground, blood dripping from his temple and it's too familiar; a thing he sees in his nightmares

he doesn't know what to do with all his fear so instead, he channels it into anger

he goes off on all his builders, demanding to know how they could be so useless and careless as to miss the unstable roof; screaming at them in a way he hasn't done since he was on active duty, tearing down a rookie for poor trigger management

all the while, his gentle hands tend to soap; checking the wound, if he's concussed, soothing him before he can slip into a flashback of his own. he growls at the cameras, doesn't let the onsite medics anywhere near him; he doesn't know them, doesn't trust them with his johnny. it's only soap's gentle convincing that makes him step back, that forces him to stop and breathe; glaring the medics down from soap's side as they check him and come to the same conclusion soap already reached

he'll be iust fine; a few stitches and he'll be right back in it

ghost goes with him to the hospital to get the stitches laid, abandoning the site to their terrified builders to look after. it takes a few days before he can handle them being separated again, can't even handle one of them going shopping while the other site manages

but soap doesn't begrudge him for his clinginess, not when he knows it's rooted in the fear of losing him. he just keeps him close and calls him his good luck charm when they win the room reveal that week
