#FeaturedArtist

Arleesha Yetzer

Most of my childhood was spent in southern California. I always loved drawing and creating characters, but never really considered it as a career path until life had already led me through college and the births of my two children. While learning to draw, raising two children, and being overworked and undervalued at an unfulfilling job, I started to see the potential in sharing my art journey with the internet in 2017. What started as a documentation of the learning process has grown into a heartfelt sharing of how surreal watercolor portrait painting can be a binding force for relating and sharing the human experience. My YouTube channel has grown into a community of over 200 thousand artists and art lovers. I love reading, playing video games with my family, and soaking up the quietness of life in rural Pennsylvania.

Peerless Watercolour Sheets, Pack of 12 Custom Colours

Get creative with this custom palette of colours that was specially selected by none other than our featured artist herself. The perfect travel companion, for watercolour on the go. The concentrated deposit of high intensity pigment on each sheet ensure vibrant and intense colour for any painting project. They are very versatile and can be used by adding water directly to each sheet to activate the pigment, or you can gather pigment onto a damp brush and transfer it to a palette for colour mixing or diluting. Just be sure to double check which side you use – for reference the names of the colours are printed on the back of each sheet and the pigment is layered on the other side.

Pentel Side FX Mechanical Pencil

This innovative pencil design is equipped with a large retractable easer and a convenient side button for lead dispensary, so you can extend your lead without even needing to lift your hand from its drawing position. Its unique hexagonal barrel and rubber grip provides comfort for extended use and it also features a handy pocket clip perfect for slipping into any pocket or bag for easy transport and on the go sketching.

Bruynzeel Kneadable Eraser (Pink or Yellow)

This easer is a versatile little tool perfect for erasing not only graphite but also charcoal or pastel. The tacky surface of this eraser is ideal for lifting pencil marks from paper and can also be shaped and formed into any desired configuration required for precise erasing.

Zahn Custom Angled Brush, Size 8

Founded in 1907, a German brush maker that stands for expertise in brush manufacture. This paint brush is no exception and its densely packed bristles are designed to hold water and pigment, allowing for perfect control over the flow of colour from brush to paper. This brush will hold a precise fine point for detail, springing back into shape after every stroke and will reliably deposit pigment evenly and consistently every time.

West Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper Pad, A5, 10 Sheets

This hot pressed paper features a lovely smooth, non-textured base that is ideal for artworks that require seamless blending, effortless gradients and fine detailed illustrations. It is a perfect pairing for any water-based medium including watercolour, acrylic and gouache and its crisp white colouring will capture the vibrant pigments that you put down.

These were a really interesting

These were a really interesting challenge. I've used pigment sheets before as art tools but these were on a different level. The range of colours is fantastic and the amount of pigment needed for a colour is minimal so you get a lot of use out of it. I only wish the design had something to keep the pigment sheets in as they were very messy to hold, the pigment stained my hands!

Amazing box- 10/10 and reasons why:

AMAZING. The watercolor sheets are incredibly vibrant, with pigment comparable to liquid concentrated watercolor. (Just make sure you're taking the pigment from the CORRECT side of the sheets. It's the one that doesn't seem to have color on it.) They're perfectly travel sized and dry quickly so they're easy to pull out and then pack away again.
The brush was perfect for traveling as well, as it has a sharp tip but a broad brush body, allowing for different line weights and good precision.
The pencil is just your average mechanical pencil, and the big twistable eraser is useful and long lasting. Same with kneaded eraser, it does its job and is very useful.
The paper is good as well, pretty standard. A bit thin and can start to ball up/wear away if you are overly rough with it, but not badly enough to be extremely prohibitive. It does hold on to pigment VERY well, so beware that once color is on the paper, it will be pretty much impossible to lift it, although I had varying success in diluting it to the point of it being negligible. But overall good paper and a good size for small illustrations.
An overall amazing box that I will be using for a long time. 10/10 would recommend all products in it.

This was a beautiful box

This was a beautiful box and u really enjoyed using the paint!! The vibrancy in the paints is superb!!!!

Takes a bit for vibrancy

Very good but messy, the watercolours stains your hands when touching them and takes a few coats to get vibrancy but lovely when layered

My favourite box in ages

The vibrancy of the colours on the palette is gorgeous (the custom opera red is my favourite) - I've always been a bit scared of watercolour, but between falling in love with the colours and the amount of control I can get with this gorgeous paintbrush, this box has made me want to give it another go properly. I've also completely fallen in love with the pencil, it's fantastic and never rolls off a desk. That twiddle eraser...

Fantastic peerless sheets

Great box, bought this for a friend wanting to get back into watercolours

Great for outdoor use!

I have purchased this box several times, I find it great for days out with the grandchildren, easy to use and no paint spills! The coiours are great and last well.

I had tried the viviva

I had tried the viviva watercolours before but had been itching for years to try the pearless watercolours and they did not disappoint! beware that they do stain everything they touch, including your fingers when you try and look through the colours

thanks a lot

Amazing quality

Love these boxes

This was bought as a gift but when I saw how fantastic it was I wished I’d bought it for myself! I love the mix of inspiration and ideas with enough slightly different materials to have both a ‘play’ with and then produce my own art works. Excellent boxes which ever ones you get

Loved trying these out, the colours are beautiful. Have to be careful when handling though.

I purchased at the sale

I purchased at the sale price mainly for the hot press paper. I haven't used the watercolour paper but love the colour range.

Great, unusual product 10/10

Such a new medium for me, it did not disappoint :heart:️:heart:️:heart:️ what a beautiful set - painted some beautiful pictures and still have lots left :smiley: 10/10

Not the best Scrawlrbox contents, but I will persevere.

Nice but not that useful.

Interesting set but not very useful. At home I will just use my superior watercolour sets which means I can only see myself using these on the go outdoors. The problem with that is, I still need something to carry the rest of the kit in so I might as well take my usual travel watercolours as it isn't going to save much space.

Watercolour in a new way

I can't believe how much pigments the watercolour sheets give you, a great value box

Scrawltastic!

Fabulous mixture of great new art things to try.

Interesting medium

These were fun to use and I enjoyed cutting up the papers to make travel sheets but the actual colours were a bit one dimensional.

Nice watercolors!

Amazing as always!! :two_hearts:

Always fun and good value

#081

My first time buying. Wasn't sure what to expect. I must admit, I am really impressed. I'm enjoying the watercolour sheets (really unusual). I love the brush and the pencil is so useful. Impressed with the quality of the watercolour pad too. All-in-all, I'd certainly buy from ScrawlrBox again.

ScrawlrBox #081

Vibrant colours in an interesting format. But I fail to see how they would be useful when out and about as they are messy to handle and there is a lot of dust in the packet they came in which means the colours have mingled on the surface of each card.
Really liked the mechanical pencil with the wind up eraser.

Bought box again as so good!

This has to be one of my favourite boxes from Scrawlrbox as the materials are something I've never been very confident using. The vibrancy of the colours just pop and the opportunities to tinker with them are endless. I bought this box again in a recent sale as I didn't want to run out of the materials
