Hello everyone, a couple of weeks ago I was approached by Arteza, who asked me if I would like to choose and review some of their product.

Arteza is a well known and established company selling good quality, premium arts and crafts supplies so I jumped at the chance to sample some of their stuff.

Below you will find all of the product I chose and if you do choose to purchase anything from the links I’ve supplied you can receive a further 10% off valid until 25th April 2019, just enter code MixedUpCraft1

24 Premium Watercolours

I enjoyed painting with these and loved the variety of colours. I found them easy to blend and they lifted well off of the Arteza watercolour paper I used, which I liked.

With these watercolours I used the Set of 15 Detailed Paint Brushes.

These were what I was most excited in receiving and I wasn’t disappointed, I found these brilliant. They allow you to add the smallest of details to your art, perfect for colouring in all those small stamped images.

This is the fun card I made using them.

The stamp set I used here was from issue 68 of Creative Stamping magazine, available from Crafts Stash.

Watercolour Set of 12 Premium Half Pans, Assorted Colours

I was surprised with these, for some reason, I just thought they would be weak in colour and more childlike I guess, I was very wrong! These are highly pigmented colours and a very small amount goes a long way.

I thought the colour variety was ok, seeing as they blend well allowing you to make up many other colours.

With these paints, I used the Set of 4 Water Brush Pens.

I found these to be very comfortable to hold and extremely soft and easy to squeeze in comparison to my other water brushes. With them being very soft I found that only a small amount of pressure is needed to allow the water to flow, so that took some getting used to but the results were still great.

The stamp set I used was the Woodware, Flower Garden stamp available from Hobbybase.

I did all my watercolouring on the Arteza A4 Watercolour Pad.

This is good quality thick 300gsm watercolour paper.

I saturated this paper when using the water brush pens and the paper warped only very slightly.

Please check out my more detailed review and demo below.

I thought the premium watercolours were very vibrant and smooth to use.

The detailed brushes allowed me to colour these smaller images with no problem at all.

I hope you found this blog post helpful and my video of interest.

Maybe I’ve been able to introduce some of you to Arteza and the products they offer, and I encourage you to check out their website as they have a lot more great art supplies available.

Thank you for stopping by

Happy crafting.
