In this review, we are going to be looking at the Arrtx Watercolor Pencils and unfortunately, this may be the first Arrtx product that I have one or two minor discrepancies about. In this review we will delve into said discrepancies and not forgetting that you will find additional review information in the YouTube review to accompany this post,
The Arrtx Sketching Pencils come in what I think is the perfect graphite grade scale and that is 4H to 8B. I will get into each grade in more detail soon, but I have reviewed graphite sets where the scale goes as high as 9H and I personally think when you get to that grade, all you are doing is drawing with clay and scratching the heck out of your expensive paper.
In this review we take a look at a brand new product from Arrtx, it is the Arrtx 48 set of Soft Pastels. Arrtx are the company behind some excellent art supplies being sold at affordable prices with excellent quality items. In this review we take a look at the pastel quality, layering and blending, I also supply a botanical art piece on Clairefontaine Pastelmat
In this review we take a look at the Arrtx Acrylic Marker Pens, both the tradition color set and the metallic color set. As I am sure many of you are aware, the two mediums I have never used or reviewed is Acrylic and Oil paints, not for any reason in particular other than the preparation time and cleaning time required before and after use.
In this review we will be testing and demonstrating the brand new 72 set of Arrtx Colored Pencils as well as showcasing artwork completed with them and hopefully helping you to determine one way or the other as to whether or not the Arrtx Colored Pencil are for you.
Only yesterday, (At the time of writing this post), I uploaded my review of the new Arrtx Brush Markers or as they are officially called, the Arrtx Oros Sketch Marker. However, on that video I made a mistake and it is incredibly important that I highlight the mistake and rectify it. Another amazing YouTuber Lindsay The Frugal Crafter actually brought the mistake to my attention so I have Lindsay to thank for bringing this to my attention
The actual brush nib on the Oros Sketch Marker is sourced from Japan according to Arrtx, meaning that the company has done their research into this field and know that it is worth the time, effort and cost to get this part of the marker right from the get go rather than go cheap and run the risk of having to purchase different nibs at a later date whilst knocking confidence among their customers.
I Think the first thing that I need to discuss about the Arrtx Markers is the incredible packaging they come in. It would appear that more and more art supply companies are realising the importance of packaging. It used to be the case that pencils or markers would arrive in flimsy plastic trays or plastic wallets,
