Camilla Gardner

Camilla Gardner (nee Edwards) was born in County Durham in 1963. After 5 years of successful study at major art schools in England, Camilla became aware of a gap in her artistic education, which she addressed by enrolling at the prestigious Florence Academy of Arts. There, in an institution dedicated to the return to discipline in art and to the direct study of nature and the Old Masters as the foundation for great painting, she received the highest level of instruction in the classical methods of drawing . Looking back on her time in Florence, Camilla realises that her experience of the Academy was, undoubtedly, the most stimulating part of her training as an artist and a key element in the success of her subsequent career, enabling her to capture not only a true likeness of favourite pets and animals, but also a reflection of their character, in her work.

Birds of a Feather

This months box is all about working with layers to create palpable textures. Experiment with building up different intensities with the water to paint ratio with your colours; how do they lay on top of each other? How does the flatter, matt finish from mixing in the white look? Use the Chinagraph to form subtle patterns, markings shading and highlights- layer up and see where it takes you. Try these things out to see how they work in creating your tactile textures.

Inside the box

Daler Rowney Aquafine Watercolour Tubes

Daler Rowney proudly continue their long heritage of manufacturing in the United Kingdom, based in the South of England, in Bracknell. These Aquafine Watercolour paints are made from a selection of modern, high-quality pigments that are milled to perfection, offering optimal performance and control. Aquafine watercolours are richly pigmented, free-flowing colours with fantastic lightfast properties. The transparent colours have excellent tinting strength and working properties that reliably produce beautiful, delicate washes every time you use them.

Derwent Push Button Waterbrush (M)

This convenient refillable water-brush is perfect for painting on the go, wherever and whenever creativity hits. This brush features a large water barrel and has a push button for easy to control water release. The bristles are made from durable nylon fibres, which holds shape and point for continuous and regular use. To fill it, just unscrew the two halves of the barrel and pour in a little water.

Royal Sovereign Chinagraph Pencils

These versatile pencils will work on virtually any surface, including china, plastics, acetate, film, brick, wood and glass. By combing specially selected pigments and waxes, they are resistant to water (but you can remove them from non-porous surfaces with a dry cloth or a tissue) making them for an interesting pairing with watercolour paints. These are extremely accessible and easy to use and can even be sharpened with a normal pencil sharpener.

A5 Watercolour Pad 300gsm (CP) 8 Sheets

This watercolour pad is custom made just for our Scrawlrs and is excellent paired with any water based medium. This pad contains 8 sheets of premium quality paper, so you should have plenty to get you through the weeks before your next box arrives.

I'm not proficient with watercolor

I'm not proficient with watercolor so this was new for me. The colors are vibrant and the waterpen helped blend. The paper quality was amazing.

Just getting into watercolours so a little unsure of what to do but from what I've tried I'm very pleased.

Great choice of colours. The paper is very good quality and the thickness is just right. Excellent value for money and amount of paints is very good. They mix well.

I had not had the

I had not had the opportunity to try this brand of watercolors but I was not disappointed, excellent pigmentation, pencils help a lot to generate areas of brightness and above all, the color is wonderful. I loved the brush when using it because it does not let more water pass through than necessary and it is fantastic to go out to paint outside. Excellent product combination. Loved the box

My fantastic scrawlbox of april'21

The quality is awesome! The best colors selection. I'm really happy with it. The materials are very useful and without a doubt the quality is very good. I'm really happy with all. The delivery was in the estimated time. I am very happy with my scrawlbox. Kind regards from Argentina. Thanks!

April 21 - Birds of a Feather

Good quality watercolour paints, well pigmented, mixes well. Love the paper and other supplies. Well worth the cost. Keep it up.

High quality supplies

Thank you for the wonderful box again! My daughter loves receiving her boxes and enjoys creating the masterpieces after.

Lovely package!

Such a great package! I really enjoyed working with the watercolours, they were rich in pigment and very vibrant colours! Was not a fan of the white pencil but the black one was great - easy to work with and BLACK indeed. I always appreciate the content of the boxes, they are well worth the money (and at a decent price!). Will order again.

Great

I got this as a past box for £5, and it was worth it for the water pen alone. Quality supplies, and well worth nabbing.

Bright watercolors

Sadly I ordered this one

Sadly I ordered this one in the Black Friday sale and it was over-sold so I eventually had to choose a replacement, a pity as it was a gift intended for someone who is experimenting with watercolours.

I really enjoyed the April

I really enjoyed the April box, to the extent I ordered another one when it was on sale. First time I used the palette I was surprised by how vibrant the colours were and a little goes a long way.

Budding artist

My granddaughter loved her kit and tried out all the suggestions on the paper provided as well as her own materials. A budding artist in the making!

For me, these colors were excellent. I use them now instead of my regular watercolors! The water-repelling pencils were a fun addition and offered a lot of creative options. A great value for money box, too.

My brother offered to buy

My brother offered to buy these for Rakhi. I enjoy using new and interesting art supplies and share them with my husband and kids. We have enjoyed many artistic family sessions with these clever art boxes.

Very happy

Lots of fun

Shipping conditions caused degradation

I had to stab a paperclip into one of the tubes as the paint had dried behind a barrier. Another tube nearly exploded once I opened it, so much pressure had built up inside. But the quality was otherwise good and the color selection was good. I look forward to using them for future painting.
