Oh Monday....I put too much sugar in my coffee and now I'm just buzzing LOL! I uploaded a couple of videos overnight so I have lots more to share with you guys. And if you're just checking in and missed everything I posted over the weekend (I've been on a roll) you can find all my posts here:
Watercolor with Distress Markers - Making a Card #54 Video
Peerless Watercolor - Making a Card #55 Video
Watercolor with Inktense Pencils - Making a Card #56 Video
Today's video isn't a cardmaking video but rather a quick review of the Artist Loft paper and watercolor paint I'd picked up at Michaels not too long ago. I'd posted a pic of them on my Instagram account and it got Michaels attention and now they're following me on there - how cool is that? It especially made my day as that was the day I'd found out I hadn't made it past the open auditions in the Gallery Idol challenge so I was feeling a bit low over it.
ANYWHO - enough rambling (sugar buzz?!?!) here's the video:

So yes overall I think these are great paints for the price. I've linked to them on the Michaels (US - I can't even find them on the Canadian site :P) site, and I've also linked to several similar sets on SimonSaysStamp site as well just to give you some options.
If you've been interested in this whole watercolor thing and would just like to try it out without investing a ton of $$ I highly recommend some of these options for paints/paper/brushes. They're all on the lower end of the spectrum as far as price and you can get a TON of playing time out of them. Then you can see if it's worth getting more higer-ish end products.
Honestly with the exception of my Inktense pencils and a set of more-pricey Russian watercolors that I own the vast majority of my watercolor supplies aren't too expensive. As a whole I'm sure they add up to a lot LOL! But each item/set wasn't too bad!
