We are living in difficult times right now. The Corona Virus is everywhere and many people become ill.<br />
Many countries have advised people to stay home as much as possible.<br />
Only by staying away from each other we can slow down and eventually beat the virus.<br />
<br />
Staying at home and colour (and paint) is what I have decided to do. In the new series Colour Yourself Calm I will show you my tips and tricks. The subject of the videos are based on requests from viewers. So if there is something you want me to show you, please ask!<br />

The first episode of Colour Yourself Calm is about painting a daffodil in watercolours.<br />
<br />
I am using Schmincke watercolour paint and Pentel waterbrushes and a cold pressed watercolour paper.<br />
<br />
You can also use watercolour pencils, Inktense pencils, and traditional brushes to join me.<br />
<br />
Because I would like as many people as possible to join me, I decided to give you the template of this painting for free.<br />
<br />
<br />

For a long time I have wanted to start a nature journal, or nature diary.<br />
Nothing beats the beauty of nature and I love to draw and paint after nature.<br />
When I received a grey toned sketchbook from Arteza, I suddenly knew this grey toned paper would be a nice basis for a journal.<br />
So last autumn, I started to collect leaves, feathers, acorns, twigs, berries, ect. and started sketching, colouring and painting them. I also started to paint and draw birds that I saw around our home.<br />
<br />

It is situated in the province Noord-Brabant, about 1 hour drive from where we live. We went walking there, saw lots of fly agaric toad stools and collected a lot of big pinecones and acorns. I used the acorns to make a small drawing and a painting for my nature journal.<br />

Everytime I go out into nature I search for things that I can use for a drawing or painting. This nature journal changes the way I look at nature. As soon as the weather improves I will be able to take my pencils and paints outside enjoy painting and drawing outdoors. I am looking forward to 'en plein air' painting, painting outdoors.<br />
I started doing painting outdoors last summer, when my husband and I were enjoying a beautiful vacation in Madeira and I love it!<br />
<br />
<br />
In november we had a couple of beautiful Sunny days in The Netherlands and when I went out for a walk I walked by a tree with nice fall colours. I picked up one of the leaves that had fallen and back at home I dried it (I put it in a heavy book for about a week), put it in my diary and made a painting.<br />

We have several bird species flying around our house. Great tit and blue tit are often seen and also a robin often visits our garden. One of my favourite birds is the long-tailed tit. A group of blue tits, great tits and long-tailed tits often visits the bushes across the street. I have my binoculars ready because I love these graceful birds. They are black and white with a touch of pink. I hope I will be able to make a nice drawing of them in the near future<br />
A couple of weeks ago I had my very first sight of a bird named Redwing (Turdus iliacus). There were two of them in the bushes across the street. I was able to take a couple of pictures. The pictures allowed me to make a watercolour painting.<br />

Winter time is a quiet time when it comes to plant and animal activity in our garden. So I cannot wait for spring to arrive and watch the plants start growing again, finding the first daffodils and crocusses, and watch insects like bees, bumblebees, ladybugs, etc. and make lots of drawings and paintings!</div>

A couple of days ago I received an unexpected package in the mail. Johanna Basford sent me her latest book, How to Draw Inky Wonderlands!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had not expected this book because it is not so much about colouring but about drawing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was lucky that Johanna sent me the book. I tried the book a little bit for my First Impression video and I enjoyed Johanna's tutorials very much. So more videos about this book will follow!</div>

A couple of years ago I started using affiliate links to both help you buy nice art supplies and me receiving a little bit of money (commission) each time someone uses one of my links to buy a product.<br />
<br />
The affiliate links on the Passion for Pencils website and also YouTube Channel mainly come from Amazon.com and bol.com.<br />
Although this works quite well I recently decided to make a change.<br />
<br />
With Amazon (and dutch bol.com too) it is hard to find out who is actually selling the product that I am telling you to buy. This not knowing the seller makes me feel a little bit uneasy and that is why I started to look for a more 'personal' connection to webshops.<br />
<br />
Last year I joined the Arteza affiliate program and it instantly felt good. I received an email, someone working for Arteza asked me to join forces. This more personal way of communicating works much better. When things go right but also when there is a problem. So I felt I wanted to connect with other brands or good webshops.<br />
<br />
Arteza sells great art supplies for the beginning and intermediate artist, and many of you have already used one of the affiliate links to purchase pencils, pens, paper, brushpens, paints, you name it!<br />
<br />
<b>To take a look in the Arteza USA webshop click this link:</b><br />

<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
<b>To take a look in the Arteza Europe webshop click this link:</b><br />

<b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
The more experienced or professional artist would want higher quality pencils and paints, though. That is why I also joined Jackson's Art affiliate program.<br />
And just like Arteza, Jackson's Art contacted me via email. I can email to a person of Jackson's Art now, which makes communicating a lot more pleasant.<br />
<br />
Click the Jackson's picture below to take a look in their webshop!<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.jacksonsart.com/?acc=e995f98d56967d946471af29d7bf99f1&___store=jacksonsart_en&bannerid=3" target="_blank"><img class="img-responsive" height="250" src="https://www.jacksonsart.com/affiliates/banner/image/id/3/account_id/744/store_id/1/" title="Affiliate Banner 3" width="250" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
I also signed up for Blick Art Materials and I wrote to a couple of brands. So hopefully in the future affiliate links of two or three more brands or webshops will be available on the Passion for Pencils blog and YouTube Channel.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to take the plunge: I am going to sell my paintings and drawings.<br />
<br />
For long I have procrastinated this decision because I was not sure if my work is good enough and how to price my work. I did a lot of research about selling art work and concluded that there are no clear directions to follow. So this will be a journey of trial and error.<br />
<br />
Today I added the first 4 paintings to my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/HennydeSnoo" target="_blank"><b>Etsy shop</b></a>!<br />
No guts, no glory!<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Besides coloured pencil, I absolutely love watercolour painting. It took a while before I understood the medium, and I still want to learn a lot more, but watercolour painting is something I enjoy very much.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Because I want to explore the medium further, I would love to try one of the very best watercolour brands in the world: the German brand Schmincke Horadam.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This German brand is often mentioned by artists as one of their favourite paints.</span><br />

My professional Sennelier paints are very nice to work with but I would like to expand my watercolour horizon and see what this superb German brand has to offer. I expect that it is a great example of 'Deutsche Grundlichkeit', as we often say here in The Netherlands. The Germans are famous for their precision and thoroughness.<br />
I expect that, like with the Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, the Schmincke Horadam paints are of extreme high quality, are very consistent to work with, have vibrant colours and superb lightfastness.<br />

Besides the metal tinsets, Schmincke also sells beautiful sets in wooden boxes. The one here below has 48 full pans, so great when you like to make large size paintings. </div>

<br />
The price of Schmincke Horadam paint varies quite a bit. If you live in the USA, this brand may turn out very expensive. In Germany, however, it is still expensive but more what I would expect for a beautiful brand like Schmincke.<br />

The second item on my Christmas Wishlist is <b>Rembrandt Watercolour Paint.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
I think it was 15 years ago that I bought my first watercolour paint: <a href="https://passionforpencils.blogspot.com/2015/07/natures-little-treasures-in-aquarel.html" target="_blank">Winsor&Newton Cotman</a>, student grade watercolour. I enjoyed using them but felt that something was lacking. And then a couple of years ago I came across a good deal on Amazon and bought a set of professional<a href="https://passionforpencils.blogspot.com/2017/09/sennelier-professional-watercolour-paint.html" target="_blank"> Sennelier paints</a>.<br />

Since I bought the Sennelier I have used Cotman only a couple of times. The professional paints work so much better for me!<br />
Now that I have painted quite a few projects with Sennelier I would love to try other brands.<br />
So why not put the Dutch professional watercolour paint on my wish list?<br />
Just like coloured pencils, all watercolour brands have their own characteristics. I'd like to explore other brands and l learn about their strenghts and weeknesses.<br />
<br />

The famous Dutch artist Marjolein Bastin uses the Rembrandt paints and I have heard that the paints are popular among members of IWS Holland, a Dutch watercolour society. So I would love to give them a try.</span><br />

Every artist, both amateur and professional, has his/her own style. In my case, layering and mixing colours on the paper is what I like most. So mixing watercolour paints on a palet is something I don't do that often. I prefer glazing, layering thin layers of paint right out of the box on the paper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
That is why a large set of Rembrandt paints is on my wish list. I then have many different shades available.<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Professional watercolour paints may seem expensive, but the paints are highly pigmented and last very long. This watercolour set lasts for many years.</span></div>

I don't really NEED more art supplies, but there are pencils, paints, papers, and other things that I would love to try. And there is one thing I would love Winsor&Newton to invent…<br />

The first items on my wish list are<b> Derwent Inktense Blocks and Pencils</b>:<br />
<br />
I have a set of 24 Inktense Pencils. They were given to me by a lady from California.<br />
It took me some time to learn how Inktense works, but as soon as I figured it out, I was hooked on these bright pencils. I love the fact that you can use them both with and without adding water. A velvety look appears when you use them dry.<br />

When I try new art supplies I Always pick up a colouring book to experiment and learn. In the case of the Inktense pencils, I picked up Painterly Days. I found out about the difference between water colour and Inktense, I practiced layering, hard and soft edges and much more.<br />
I like Inktense so much that I decided I wanted to use these pencils in the Watercolour Along Project.<br />

Inktense has become one of my favourite mediums. I would love to one day buy the complete set of both pencils and blocks. I feel the pencils are a little bit limiting because they are less suitable for painting larger areas. That is why both the pencils and blocks are on my Christmas Wish List!<br />

Last fall Arteza contacted me and asked me to review their watercolour pencils.<br />
I had found some reviews about these pencils on the internet. These reviews were so positive that I could not believe that the relatively cheap Arteza pencils would perform so well. So when Arteza asked me if they could send me a set, I couldn't wait to start testing and reviewing!<br />
<br />
So far, I tested the Arteza Expert Watercolor Pencils on watercolour paper, in <a href="https://passionforpencils.blogspot.com/2016/09/watercolour-joy-painterly-days.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Painterly Days</span></a> by Kristy Rice and in Johanna Basford's book <a href="https://passionforpencils.blogspot.com/2018/10/buy-world-of-flowers-by-johanna-basford.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">World of Flowers</span></a>.<br />
The pencils are not only great to work with as watercolour pencils, you can also use them as normal coloured pencils, without adding water. They have a soft core, layer very well, and the colours are vivid.<br />

Arteza Watercolor Pencils are a real joy to work with! I must say though, I have little experience with watercolour pencils so I don't know how they relate to other pencil brands. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">
Also, when it comes to lightfastness, I don't know if Arteza's claims are accurate. Lightfastness is only important when you want to sell your original work or want to display your work and don't want the colours to fade. But there are ways to protect your work from fading by using UV protective glass in your frame or use a UV protecting varnish of fixative spray.</div>

Once in a while, I receive messages from readers and viewers who ask for my mailing address. They want to send me a 'thank you' for the articles and videos that I make.<br />

In March 2017, a lady from India had asked me for my mailing address. A couple of weeks later a package came. There was a beautiful animal encyclopedia in it and...the full set of 76 Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils! And again, I was completely in awe...what a gift!<br />

In Johanna Basford's book Enchanted Forest, my favourite page is the one with the compass.<br />
I decided to pick this drawing to explore the Luminance pencils and make a series of videos:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLQXtNH-XYOoK0do4PaZhjv3XwZE5iBQdY" width="560"></iframe>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
As soon as I started using the beautiful Luminance pencils, I immediately noticed the quality of the pigments, vibrancy, and opacity. These pencils are absolutely superb. Their lightfastness is the best.<br />
My dutch version of Enchanted Forest has thick but slippery paper and I was having trouble with all my other pencils. But the Luminance pencils were no trouble at all! Where other pencil brands' pigments seemed to slip away or not find enough tooth to lay down pigment, Luminance pencils had no trouble at all!<br />
<br />
There were a few moments where I wished the pencils were a little less soft, though, because colouring tiny details can be a bit difficult. But for this project I decided to only use Luminance. And in the end, I managed to colour the details as well.<br />

Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils are not only extremely good, they are also very expensive. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I haven't found a pencil yet that matches the vibrancy, lightfastness, softness/no breaking pencil leads of these Luminance pencils. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I continue my passion for pencils, these Luminance pencils will be often used. I just love them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So yes, highly recommended!</div>

After 32 episodes, I finally finished this beautiful drawing from Johanna Basford's Enchanted Forest!<br />
<br />
The first episode was uploaded in April 2016. So it took me more than 2 years to finish this project.<br />
I used many different pencils brands and together they gave this wonderful result.<br />
Projects like these give me the opportunity to use all my pencil brands and learn about their characteristics.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My Faber Castell Polychromos pencils did a great job. I love how they layer and I also love their subtle nature. They are a little translucent which make them perfect for sublte layering.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also pick these pencils when nieces or nephews want to colour along. Polychromos pencils are so sturdy, they won't break, so I trust them in the hands of a toddler!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I also used my Bruynzeel Design pencils for layering. These pencils, although wax based, feel very similar to the oil based Polychromos pencils. At least, for me they feel quite similar. </div>

Sometimes however, a more bold pencil turned out to work better. For colouring the darkest shadows I turned to other pencil brands like Caran d'Ache Pablo, Caran d'Ache Luminance, Prismacolor Premier and Derwent Procolour.<br />
I also used these other pencils brands when I wanted to make stronger accents.<br />
<br />
I also discovered that harder pencils like Derwent Procolour and Tombow Irojiten do a great job when you want detail and subtle layering.<br />
<br />
And there is this other thing about harder pencils that I'll try to explain:<br />
Soft pencils give a lot of colour, but they also seem to give a lot of waxiness/greasiness. When I combine them with a harder, dryer pencil like Irojiten or Procolour, it seems like the harder/dryer pencils are absorbing the grease/wax...sounds strange, right? But I love combining softer pencils with these harder ones.<br />
The harder pencils also pull everything together in a very sublte way. I love that too.<br />

People often ask me if I can give them advice about which pencils they should buy.<br />
Because all these beautiful pencil brands have their own characteristics it is very hard to give the right advice.<br />
The best thing you can do is treat yourself on a trip to an art supplies store where you can try different pencils brands.<br />

I put all 32 episodes of Stones and Wood in Enchanted Forest in a playlist. You can watch all episodes here:<br />

In Spring 2017 the Colour Along Instruction Project for Coloured Pencil was launched.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I made this online colouring course because many people were asking me about the colouring techniques, shading, blending, layering, colour choice, and a lot more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In this colouring course I show you everything, even the mistakes that I make and how I fix them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A couple of days ago a package came in the mail with Johanna Basford's latest book:<br />
Ivy and the Inky Butterfly.<br />
Johanna was so generous to also send me a tin of 24 Staedtler Ergosoft pencils!<br />
<br />
Ivy and the Inky Butterfly is not just a colouring book, it has a story in it. So it is a great book to read and colour together with your children!<br />
<br />
In this first video I show you the inside of the book, and I explore the Staedtler Ergosoft pencils.<br />

<br />
The quality of the book is very good, but take some time to firmly open the book to make the pages fall down flat.<br />
I received the US printed book, published by Penguin.<br />

Johanna Basford sent me a set of 24 Staedtler Ergosoft pencils! They came together with her latest book, <a href="http://passionforpencils.blogspot.nl/2017/09/ivy-and-inky-butterfly-and-staedtler.html" target="_blank"><b>Ivy and the Inky Butterlfy</b></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At first glance, the Staedtler Ergosoft pencils seem to be of good quality. <br />
They are triangular, which make them unique. They also have a soft coating, which prevent your fingers from slipping.<br />
My first impression is that these pencils were initially designed for children and usage in class rooms. However, they can be of great value to adults as well. <br />
Ergosoft pencils are less expensive than the 'professional' pencils, such as Faber Castell Polychromos, Derwent Coloursoft and Procolour, Caran d'Ache Luminance and Pablo, etc.<br />
I don't think the Ergosoft pencils can compete with the professional brands, though. But time will tell because I need a need more time to test them. <br />

A couple of months ago I had the opportunity of buying a 12 pan set of professional watercolour paint by Sennelier. <br />
I bought 7 extra pans and put them in the travel tin. <br />
<br />
Sennelier paint is not available everywhere in The Netherlands, so I ordered it on Amazon.com.<br />
This is my first set of professional watercolour paint, so I can only tell you that these paints are doing what I expected them to do.<br />
They are particularly suitable for glazing, I have read, and so far this seems to be true.<br />
I am really enjoying them!<br />

Compaired to my Winsor&Newton Cotman watercolour set (a student grade watercolour) the professional Sennelier performs a lot better. Professional watercolour paint has a lot more pigment in it and is a lot stronger.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
I am glad I took the plunge and bought a professional set. <br />
In time I will buy other professional brands so I can do a comparison.<br />

I recently received a set of 24 Derwent Inktense Pencils.<br />
After getting to know them a little bit I more and more start to love these ink pencils.<br />
<br />
Derwent Inktense at first sight seems to be a watercolour pencil, but this is not the case.<br />
Inktense has ink in it. You can handle it just like a watercolour pencil, but after the colours have dried, the colours become permanent. <br />
With watercolour pencils you can move the paint around after you put water on it for a second or third time, but with Inktense this works only a little bit.<br />
<br />
<br />

Inktense is also available as Inktense Blocks. These look a little bit like blocks of soft pastels, but they are the same as the pencils. <br />
<br />
So far I really enjoy these pencils and will certainly use them a lot in the future!<br />

About two years ago I bought my first waterbrush. It was a Derwent brush but it turned out that this brush wasn't working for me.<br />
The results I had with this brush were so bad that I decided to stick with the traditional brushes.<br />
<br />

I've seen many people do great work with waterbrushes so I was quite disappointed that it didn't seem to work for me. <br />
I love painting outdoors and waterbrushes would be ideal for plein air watercolour painting! <br />
<br />
A while ago I stumbled upon the Caran d'Ache Waterbrushes. They looked different and after reading a couple of reviews I was hoping they would fit me better than the Derwent brush. So I took the chance and ordered them.<br />
Last week the brushes arrived and the results I have with them are so much better than with the Derwent brush already!<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My much better results with the Caran d'Ache waterbrush!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The Caran d'Ache waterbrushes come in a set of three. A medium and a large size brush and a felt tip brush.<br />
<br />
I haven't tried the felt tip brush yet.<br />
In a couple of weeks I will make a couple of reviews about these brushes.<br />
I will continue using them and I hope they will continue to perform as good as they do now!<br />

I recently received a set of Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils and my first impression of them is very positive!<br />
They are quite soft, layer beautifully, and have a good price too! <br />
I video about my first impression of these pencils will be online very soon.<br />
A thorough review will be available in a couple of months.<br />
I need these months to colour with them a lot, and see how they work on different types of paper and combined with other pencil brands.<br />
<br />
So far I love these pencils!<br />
