ScrawlrBox #064

Really interesting selection of equipment, pushed me way outside of my comfort zone, loved the texture of the crayons when used dry. Enjoyed the bio on the artists and looked up some of her work. I thought the crayons were of an excellent quality. Only negative was I felt a bit hemmed in working at A5 with these big boys, I would imagine that on a larger scale they would be fantastic.

I loved this box!! The supplies were freeing from my usual drawing lines. It was really fun :heart_eyes:

The items in this box were incredible. It was so fun to try out these spectrum noir products! I love the coverage these Metallic pens gave. I layed them down and then once they were dry used coloured pencils on top to create depth and shading! So impressed by these!

This is one of my favourite boxes. I love the metallic pens because they are so rich in pigment. I’ve used them to embellish my visual/scrap journal pages. The gel pen is good quality too and I have used it for colourful doodles. The graphite pen is a very useful tool to do under drawings or quick sketches.

I found these pens unusual and like nothing I had used before. This made them exciting and scary at the same time. I REALLY didn't know what to do with them so just played and went wild, it was a very freeing activity and had surprising results although a little weird. Definitely not my usual style but fun to experience.

Loved this box, still using the crayons a lot. Learned some new techniques with them too.

Always a joy to open a scrawlerbox and see the contents -these crayons were fun to use

Amazing medium. A delight to use. One of my new favorites from scrawlboxes!

I’ve had real fun with the marabou art crayons. Using the featured artist as inspiration I tried my own loosely drawn face (think I need to stick to the day job) and realised it’s not as easy as it looks. The art crayons are buttery soft giving loads and loads of colour and with a variety of ways to use them to create vastly different results - they are really very versatile.

I was well out of my comfort zone with this box, but that’s what makes ScrawlrBox so great. You use supplies you would never have purchased and you realise how much fun you can have using a different medium.
The prompt for this box was Expressive Expressions, I have been part of a COVID study since early 2019 so this is an expression I have seen in the mirror many times!

The crayons were great, even though the Derwent Kneadable Eraser wasn't as good as I expected. Didn't really use the pencil. Overall, very nice box.

Sumptuous medium. Felt wrong at first, like lipstick?! Weird, but then I started to rub the stuff into the page, blending the colours. Great fun. Then tried a bit of water, if I let the water puddle for a mo, then take it off with tissue, it left behing a memory of the original marks. Hints of yellow, magenta, purple. Stunning. Favourite box so far!

I was really excited opening my December box. I love the crayons and how easy they are to use and in different ways. I am experimenting with using different mediums and ways of drawing, painting, etc. I want to push myself away from my usual styles of art, and am loving the projects and freedom of trying different things. I think the boxes are very reasonably priced for what you get. I’m a newbie, but hooked already.

Really enjoyed the abstract/ mixed media style of this box, love that every month is so different!

Belle découverte des crayons aquarelle de Marabu

Not what I'd expect in a Scrawlrbox. The materials were like soft crayons and I received red, yellow, and purple. Blue what have been better, instead of purple, to mix more colors. The colors did lay flat when mixed with water and the colors mixed well with each other to get various shades and hues. The colors are a little muted after drying when using water, so you would need many layers to bring out the vibrancy and depth. The paper held up very well when using many layers of water. I cannot see me using these again but it was cool to experiment with.

Grand daughter loved doing this. Have attached photo.

Loved the quality of the supplies in this box. They provide the opportunity to create a looser type of artwork.

it's good, bad strangely too easy to cope with .. it's not my thing, but interesting to handle for a change ..

I loved December’s box and I can’t get enough of it! The crayons were fun to use and great to design with! I’ve used the Scrawlrbox website since September and they never disappoint! :blush::blush::blush:

I did not expect to enjoy this box as much as I did!
Usually I don’t much care for crayon/pastel type mediums, but the water-soluble nature of these meant I could use them in a way that felt most comfortable for me, and I am in love with the colours I ended up with!

Interesting concept of watercolour crayons! So chunky they made me feel like a child with their wild thick lines and bright bold colours, and the best thing about youthful drawing is allowing your self to be free of self doubt and seeing where they can take you rather than the perfection you think they should be, over all making art a lot more fun and relaxing!
