In this video I’m unboxing the last of my birthday and Christmas art supply gifts in a fun little art haul—aka the stuff that’s been patiently waiting for me to sit down and actually show you. I went into this thinking it might be my last art haul of 2026… and then I remembered I still have two artsy gift cards tucked away. They don’t expire, so I’m treating them like my “emergency art supplies” fund for when I run out of something essential or when an irresistible deal pops up. I share what came in, why each item caught my eye, and how I see it fitting into my watercolor (and water-based media) routine—whether that’s sketchbook play, swatching and testing, mixed-media experiments, or just making my studio life a little easier. If you love seeing new tools before you buy, or you’re curious about supplies like water-soluble blocks, liquid charcoal, aqua drops, PanPastels, and tiny sketchbooks, this one is a cozy peek into what I’m excited to try next. My big takeaway: you don’t have to buy everything—collect a few “spark” supplies that actually make you want to sit down and paint.
