Tombow Dual Brush Pen Set, 9 Earth Colors Plus Brush Pen, 10 Piece Set (56147) Review

Tombow Dual Brush Pen Set, 9 Earth Colors Plus Brush Pen, 10 Piece Set (56147)
Average Reviews:

When I ordered these, i was under the impression that they would be brush tipped, like a paint brush. I've seen pens in my local art store with brush tips selling for around 10 dollars a piece! So I decided to order these as soon as I saw them. Not what I expected, they are solid tips but with water based ink. Very good for a watercolor-like method of painting. I use these in a Moleskine Watercolor journal, and it seems the pen ink dries too quickly, I need to have the blender pen in hand and use it right along with the colored pens to get the perfect watercolor look. They look amazing, yet I wish the ink wouldn't dry so quickly, though it may also be the paper the journal is made from. I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking to add watercolor detail to sketches and pen and ink drawings! I find them to be more precise than even a fine tipped paint brush.

Hollywood Impressions Molding Powder for Craft Molds (Dental Grade Alginate) Review

Hollywood Impressions Molding Powder for Craft Molds (Dental Grade Alginate)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First off, I do not work for this company as some reviewers do. I'm a hobbyist who experimented with this brand alginate and arrived at the following conclusion...
This is a good product. It mixes surprisingly well, easy and sets in good time, not too fast and not too slow. Its skin safe and silica free which is cool. If its going to be used for dental impression mold making from the subjects mouth, it has a pleasant minty taste so no worries about chemically residue in the mouth. The mold deteriorates after a couple of days as the water in it evaporates. so its important to work quickly (but not so quickly that you're racing the clock). i wanted to use it for a creative art project but it didn't do what i wanted it to do, i needed a silicone based compound. For the creative types, this stuff is good for fun disposable kid projects too. I recommend Hollywood brand alginate. its worth it.

Prismacolor Premier Double Ended Art Markers 24 Count (97) Review

I was completely blown away by these pens when I first found them...the colours are vibrant and they blend beautifully - and they're just so pleasurable to use! BUT they fade really badly in sunlight. When I noticed that the lilac in one of my pictures was fading and turning pink I made a test sheet of all the colours I owned and left it in the sun, covering half of each colour with card so I would be able to see the difference. I was shocked by how much some of the colours faded in just a couple of weeks. By the time two or three months had passed all the colours except black had faded very obviously. I now feel I have no choice but to keep my prismacolor marker artwork in the dark, even though it's some of my best work!

3M 2090 Scotch-Blue Painter's Masking Tape for Multi-Surfaces, 3/4-Inch x 60-Yard, 1-Pack Review

Whenever I needed masking tape for painting, I always bought the old fashioned tan kind. As far as I knew, that was the only kind there was. I only used a little, so then it would sit in the garage and slowly become hardened and unuseable. I kept buying additional rolls. Then we had some work done on the flooring in the house and the crew used a new kind of blue masking tape. I asked about it and they remarked that it was far superior to the old kind. Well, the next time I needed masking tape I bought a roll of the blue stuff. The clerk suggested the Mult-surface variety as it might best suite the variety of needs I might put it to.
This Scotch Blue Painter's Tape is an excellent product. I've used it on a variety of surfaces over the past several years and it seems to work well on all. The only problem I've had is that it sticks too well on some surfaces and I've had a little trouble in removing patches of it. It's no real problem, just a little annoyance.In addition, my wife is an artist and she's put it to use on a number of occasions. All in all, I'd say this stuff is superior to the old fashioned tan type and I'll probably never go back.

Sanford Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencil Set, 24/Tin with One Bonus Artstix Review

Prismacolor pencils are well-known for their range in rich colors and vibrant laydown, setting them apart from any other type of colored pencil.
I've tried them myself and I agree. The lead is wonderfully soft, and therefore makes blending colors and pushing them into one another an ease to do.
The downside is that the lead is a little too soft, and makes it harder to get the colors smooth (it's easier to do with Crayola because Crayola has harder lead). It can be done, however, and these are great pencils that especially go well with Prismacolor markers. :)

Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper Pad Review

Strathmore 400 Series Drawing Paper Pad
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
You can find more sheets of paper for less money in similar paper products, but not of this quality. Those inexpensive pads are adequate for younger children; we all know how they often enjoy scribbling one line per page and then tossing the unfinished "work" ... or pasting it to the fridge AS IS! Daddy's little budding artists ... lol ...
But this Strathmore product is definitely for the more advanced artist who wants a sketch that s/he can frame, if desired. This paper is of a higher quality in an aesthetic cream color, appropriate for highlighting details of the artist's best illustrations.
Since each pad contains twenty-four 80lb. acid-free sheets per spiral-bound pad, that's approximately six sheets per dollar. What a bargain!

I really Love this set, but wish that the tubes were in 4 oz's, instead of the ml's that this set contains . other than that small thing, the set is first rate. i love how dark and bright the colors are and they are the right smoothness and thickness to make your own creations. so go wild and have fun,make whatever comes to mind literally. kudos to liquitex for making a fine product. like i've said though, just wish the tubes were bigger that's all,because you can run out paint fast after a few paintings.
Highly Recommended.
