Cheap Da Vinci 4232 Pastel Blender 3 Brush Set

Today's Bonus: 40% Off

This is an excellent deal for the Da Vinci set of pastel blending tools. I really do not use the sponge tip much, but the the chisel tip and brush tip are used quite frequently for blending and softening. I really love the large brush tip. It does not remove large portions of my pigment when I am blending it. Instead, it gives my painting a nice soft finished appearance. The chisel helps the softed edges or put sharp edge onto a painting. As for the sponge tip, the only use that I have used it for it to blend facial features on portraits and to clean up areas of misplaced pigment.

Chalk Ink Liquid Chalk Markers- Set of Six Earthy Colors Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $27.99

These pens will ruin your chalkboard painted wall. You can not get the imprint off. You will have to repaint. And the company agrees that they won't work on chalkboard paint on walls. Too bad they don't warn you on the package of their very expensive markers.

from Chalk Ink company:

Unless you have a very hard surface like a porcelain on steel board or a manufactured, baked surface, or a semi-gloss painted surfaceyou will always have that issue. Chalk paint is very porous and not hard so it is something that will need a regular touch up. It's the nature of the material.

I use this product in my store--I can write signs and price notes on ANYTHING from plexi-glass tubs and containers, right down to writing right on the counter or the store windows. We have a lot of young customers, and it's great because they're just dying to smear my chalk signs, and they can't! The pens are very expensive, and for how awesome they are, I would be okay with the price except for one thing: they run out of ink really fast! WAY too fast to cost what they do. Such a bummer because I'd definitely buy more if I weren't having to buy them so often.

I love the Chalk Ink Products. I use them on a five-panel door that I painted with chalkboard paint, and the ink comes off perfectly with water. I've never had a problem with the pens staining the chalkboard paint. Such a fun alternative to regular chalk! Love this product!

Honest reviews on Chalk Ink Liquid Chalk Markers- Set of Six Earthy Colors

These markers are great, but you need to remove the chalk ink within 24 hours if looking to reuse your surface. I had a homemade chalk board and the marker stayed on after a month so I'll have to recover my chalk board. Great color variety!

Chalk ink is pricey, but with good reason. The consistency is always pretty opaque and shows well, selection of colors wonderful. It is also important to note that this brand washes off without leaving any stain or pigment like many other brands I have tried (and I think I've tried them all, I do the menu boards for local Starbucks and Great American restaurants)

Derwent 72 Inktense Block Tin Set Reviews

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $205.99
Sale Price: $94.33
Today's Bonus: 54% Off

These are unique. Water-soluble ink in blocks the size of pastel sticks. Many vivid colors. Versatile and easy to work with. They make a great portable sketching kit. This and a few water brushes are all you need!

It is INK, so it sticks to any absorbent ground... paper, clayboard, canvas. It is one of the few pigment mediums that will adhere to Yupo fairly well. Once it is THOROUGHLY dry, it is waterproof. That makes these great for under-drawings!

The colors flow like watercolor in thin washes, or become as opaque as gouache when applied thickly.

You can draw with them, then add water to melt and blend colors. You can shave away pigment with a knife or sandpaper to create new color-mixes and add water to make beautiful effects.

Having raved about the quality and the value, I can only make one small complaint. Though this deluxe collection with all the colors is very nice to have and a good deal, you don't need all those colors. I suggest you start with a smaller assortment like I did. Then, if you find them useful, you could invest in more colors. As it is, no-one sells open stock versions of the other colors, so the only way to get some of the colors is in this large package. That's a shame, since some colors are obviously more useful than others and people always have their own favorites.

HEY! DERWENT! Start selling these individually!

Other than that, I can find no fault with this unique product. They are one of the best inventions in art materials in the history of human endeavor.

I have been an artist for as long as I have been alive, so when a new and wonderful creative toy comes along I just have to try it. Well, I love these Inktense pencils and blocks! Pen and ink work was never so much fun! And an added bonus is that I can use these to color work I have done on wood. The colors are brilliant and, on wood, they allow the grain to show through. They are permanent, so I can put a finish on my work without worrying about it running. Only con is that a few of the colors are not as lightfast as others.

This is a very beautiful gift set of the Clover knitting circular needles. On average, it'll cost less to purchase this set than to obtain each set of needles individually plus, you get the case.

The "but" is in regards to the needle sizes provided. The description on Amazon currently lists needle sizes as 8, 9, 10, 10.5, 11, 13, and 15. However, the product actually contains 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, and 15. So if you're looking to obtain the 10.5 from this set, you'll want to purchase separately.

My daughter had this on her birthday list and when I looked at the price I think my jaw hit the floor. I immediately crossed it off, but my daughter explained how great of a deal it actually is (if the quality is as great as presumed) and how bamboo tend to be very pricey. I am not a knitter myself-failed after many tries-but my daughter is wonderful at it. Needless to say, I ended up ordering it and I do not regret purchasing it one bit! She has used them many times already and every time comments on how easy it is to knit with them. Very nice quality, very nice case-which my daughter loved because she can grab it and have her needles all the time, great buyer, and (basically! :D) great price.

Thanks for the products!

I fell in love with my Silhouette cameo and I use it to cut all the time. It came with a set of pens that I just ended up tossing in a drawer. I saw them used by someone on a scrapbooking message board so I decided to try them out. Talk about easy and beautiful! The sketch designs that come with the pen set are also lovely. I have been using them quite a bit and not one has ran out of ink yet.

I bought these to kick start my use of the cameo for sketch designs. I found the pens to be useful and peaked my creativity as they come a large range of colors for use in a number of projects. They are not designed for large production of the same item as they don't contain a large amount of ink. It is just what it says a "starter kit." Once you get used to sketching with the cameo, I recommend for large volume projects, to get the pen adapter and purchase a few pens that hold large volumes of ink.

The pens have tendency to not product smooth consistent results. You can see the fine to thick areas where the pen released more ink. Maybe I need to use mine more but the first few images I've produced I've been satisfied but wouldn't use them for professional projects

Sakura Pigma Sensei Manga 6 Piece Drawing Kit Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $15.39
Sale Price: $10.17
Today's Bonus: 34% Off

This Manga Drawing kit provides all the basic tools needed to get started in a compact value package. The mechanical pencil and eraser are handy for laying down the initial outlines. The 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm nibs are particularly useful for drawing caricatures at a good speed. The 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm are perfect for adding small details. While the plastic nibs might wear down visibly under heavy usage, the larger nibs will continue to reliably produce clearly defined dark strokes. The 0.4 mm unfortunately is not as sturdy and can be damaged rather easily with a heavy hand pressure, so use a light touch for better mileage out of it. Overall a well rounded compact sketching kit.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing these pens from a local store (sorry Amazon). As a beginner manga artist, I was amazed at the quality of the pens and the difference they made with my drawings. The ink dries rather quickly and pencil lines can be erased without fear of smudging.

Honest reviews on Sakura Pigma Sensei Manga 6 Piece Drawing Kit

I bought these at Michael's and I wish I bought them here... they were 16 dollars at Michael's.

My favorite out of this set was the .04 pen. It's the right size for sketching. It has a different tip though, which I found strange, but it feels great.

The .03 is great for coloring in small corners, though it's really thin and you have to be gentle with it.

The .06 is like a medium sized marker, good for coloring or making lines thicker.

The 1.00 sized is basically like a sharpie marker and good for making lines thicker and coloring big spaces. It's a really dark black too. IT DOES NOT BLEED EITHER! I am really impressed.

My only beef is that you have to be gentle, but that's just me because I'm abrasive lol. But also I was messing with them and they seemed to have run out a bit quick, or the pen tip got a little messed up and started to create a line within the marker. It started to make a streak. So I would have a huge thick line, and then a tiny other line because the marker tip (this happened with the 06 and 1.00 marker) had like, a little residue. It doesn't dry instantly, but it's not slow. Maybe blow on it and it dries instantly.

But other than that, these are nice solid black pens and markers.

I didn't really care much for the sketch pencil or the eraser. If anything, any type of artist should get a KNEADED eraser. Less mess, and is great for shading (if you use different types of pencils, but that's a different story).

I am an artist, and this set is probably by far my most favorite piece in my supply collection. I received this set as a present for Christmas, but even if I were to buy it for myself it would be very much worth spending any amount of money on it. This set includes a Sakura eraser, a mechanical soft-graphite drawing pencil, and four varied thicknesses of manga pens. The thicknesses vary from .3 mm, .4 mm, .6 mm, and 1.0 mm. To be honest, these pens are not exclusively for manga use only. They work for all my art purposes. If you draw something with a pencil, then outline with one of these pens and then use the eraser (after giving the pen a short minute to dry, it does not take long) there is NO SMUDGE. This set is ideal for any artist who uses such things on a daily basis. This set will not fail to please you. Would recommend to any artist.

I absolutely must have a drafting brush for all of my graphite and colored pencil work. I was working on a graphite piece Wednesday and lost my freakin' drafting brush!! I have had a few over the years but this one had always interested me so I got it Amazon Prime and paid for Saturday delivery and I was most certainly not disappointed. I think it works better than the average drafting brush, possibly because of the softness, it feels like the goat-hair hake brush that I used to use. The only downside is that my cat thinks it's her friend and tries to groom it but I can deal with that. If you've been wondering about this, give it a go, it is different but it works better and it is more gentle.

I use this for pencil drawing. The goat hair is very soft & full. Perfectly sweeps eraser residues. The wood handle feels very nice in the hand, and the overall design is well weighted, and the bristles well set. Its a pleasure to use. The hanging hole is useful. It's fantastic for the price!

Very soft, well made, should last forever. Made in Germany. A better solution for the tops of books and computer keyboards than a vacuum since it's quite attractive and can be left out, thus will be used frequently. Wood is varnished, hanging hole, bristles well seated. I don't know if I'd have taken a chance on this at the full price, but having seen it, it was well worth the original price.

Honest reviews on da vinci Series 2485 Professional Dusting/Drafting Studio Paintbrush

I've had one of these brushes in my art studio for a number of years. It's ideal for many purposes. I use it to lightly dust dry-to-the-touch, in-progress oil paintings as well as regular maintenance dusting of finished hanging pieces of artwork. It also works wonderfully for cleaning graphite drawing surfaces from erasure debris. And after sanding paperclay and porcelain sculptures, the brush offers just the right amount of softness of bristles for removing sanding dust without marring the underlying surface.

Rather than ferry my studio brush all over the house, I ordered a second one to use for cleaning dust from computer screens and keyboards as well as other intricate or delicate household items.

While this is my favorite brush for a number of purposes, I do notice that it sheds the occasional bristle. Considering that my first series 2485 studio brush was bought at an art store for about $45, this current price on Amazon is excellent.

This series 2485 brush is made of white goat hair and is considerably softer than another of da Vinci's dusting brushes that I have, series 2486, which is made of horsehair. The handle is made of natural lacquered wood with a hanging hole. I've threaded a narrow strip of leather through the hole in order to hang the brushes in convenient storage spots without disfiguring the soft bristles.

Review of Royal Brush Aqua-flo Set 3

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $5.99
Sale Price: $3.76
Today's Bonus: 37% Off

I love working with water brushes and wanted to build up my collection, so I would have one water brush for ever color of ink I'm using, plus some for just water to use with water colors. Since the price was great on these, they seemed a good way to do that, but you really do get what you pay for. They seem very simply/cheaply made and therefore just don't work like water brushes should.

Simply put they work horribly. First of all, the brush bristles don't have a point. They look like they do when they come straight out of the package, but they have been formed that way. Once you actually get the sticky stuff that kept the point in place (feels like dried hair spray) washed off, there is no more point and you'll never get it back. The bristles are very jaggedy.

The whole idea of a water brush is the self-wetting properties, but these really don't do very well with normal writing/drawing pressure like other water brushes. If you press a little harder (and I mean just a little,) either nothing much happens or you get big globs of ink (or water) dripping down. Sometimes the water/ink even comes out on top, where the tip is threaded to the tank handle!

There seems to be very little in between. Either it dries out or you flood it. And it can be quite random. This problem is mostly due to the fact that it's really just a plastic cap with a hole in it that has some bristles glued to it. Other water brushes have a whole mechanism, that ensures flow, prevents dripping etc Not these!

All in all a pretty useless set of brushes and a waste of money!

Do yourself a favor and get either a Pentel Arts Aquash Fine Point Water Brush, Medium or a Yasutomo Niji Waterbrush, Small They are a little bit more expensive, but they really do an excellent job!

These brushes don't keep a point. The water flow is either blobby or nonexistent. The caps fall off and then your pocket gets wet. Avoid these, they're a complete waste of money. I use Niji waterbrushes now.

I'd give these no stars if I could. I bought them at a local craft store. I got them even cheaper with a 50% off coupon. They. Were. Not. Worth. It. They don't pick up much pigment, the brush isn't responsive and the caps don't stay on. Awful. I threw them OUT! Spend a little more and buy either the Pentel or Niji. both of which work fine. Water brushes are not as good as real ones, but they are good to use if you're trying to carry the minimum kit for "on location" (en plein air) painting.

I thought I might like a little bit more flexibility in sizing; so I bought these. The points are good, and they look just like the picture, but I won't buy them again because they leak from the area where the point screws into the reservoir-handle. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) :) that's not a good thing when water-coloring. ;( I wish I had just bought another one of the Pentel brushes. It's pretty awesome, and I was expecting similar performance from these. I was mistaken.

This is a beautiful die set' however, it can be difficult to remove your paper from the die. The filigree edges tend to want to tear away. I had heard several 'ideas' about how to sort this out. I tried Talcum Powder and Wax Paper, but still had difficulty, mostly with the 2nd largest die. The solution was to rub a 'Bounce' dryer sheet over the top of the die (on the cutting edge) before running it through my machine (I have the Grand Calibur). Once cut, I carefully used a 'pokey' (ball-end) tool and quilling tool to punch through all the holes -with the dryer sheet being used, it came out quite easily.
