My regrets: lots of kids grade supplies. I don’t want to waste money and toss it, but no one needs half-used kids supplies - not even kids. They deserve better 😅

Its hard starting out because you don't know what to buy and don't want to spend too much but sometimes cheap stuff isn't worth it.

Regrets: watercolor pencils, oil pastels, Stilman and Birn sketchbooks (for me anyway, they are overrated. )Thanks for the fun video!

Totally with you on the Stillman and Birn. I even have trouble buying them because there are too many options! Not a big fan of watercolour pencils either.

Maybe a tip for filling your fountain pens: I use a cheap blunt syringe and refill the cartridges with waterproof ink. I don’t really like the converters either, but love my fountain pens. Although still figuring out how to mix them with all the other stuff I love😂

I think I tried the syringe a while back, should try it again. I did get one of the super5 pens that have waterproof ink cartridges but if I didn't use it every day, it got super clogged up. I guess the main thing is that I don't love using fountain pens enough for the maintenance of them and I enjoy using nib pens more.

Love my Lamy…use it with fine nib and water soluble sepia ink. My fude pen though I'm struggling with. It seems to clog up after a few strokes and I'm forever rinsing it out with no effect other than wasting expensive permanent ink supposedly suitable for fountain pens.

Thanks for letting me know. TBH I like the control over paint consistency that tube paints give but I might give the sticks another go.

Interesting to see what doesn't work for others works great for me 😅 but seriously about the copic multiliner, I didn't use mine in year because I preferred to use a brush pen, and when I came back to them they still work amazingly as they were new!

I regret buying the cheap watercolor markers that I bought every curated set of only to find out that they are waterbased and have color but they are so not watercolor markers. Haven’t found a single watercolor paper or other sketchbooks that will make them act a teeny tiny bit like watercolor. I even fell into that same trap when their packaging changed. Also regret buying some cheap ecoline type watercolor bottles or how do you call those. The color payout isn’t all that interesting and they bleed on some papers

Biggest regret is the Faber-Castell Polychromos. So much hype, so useless. 😂 I don't like the watercolour sticks either, only bought in one colour. Might chop them into halfpans so I can soak them and use them up as regular watercolour. And fineliners always suck me in but I never get use out of them. But mainly just the Polychromos. Not cheap and such a disappointment.
