July’s ScrawlrBox In Bloom…. This box was all about experimenting with the opacity of the inks, forming entwining elements, and creating undefined botanical shapes and organic forms. The box contains a pack of four Magic Color Acrylic Inks, Marabu Graphix Fineliner Set, Synthetic Paint Brush Size 6 and a Custom A5 ScrawlrBox Acrylic Paper Pad. Take inspiration from our featured artist, Christina Kwan and see what you can create!

#FeaturedArtist

Christina Kwan

Christina Kwan is an Atlanta-based artist known for her abstract and floral works on paper as well as large scale murals. She was born and raised in Florida and moved to Atlanta after graduating from University of Florida with a BFA in Drawing. A decade and many different career paths later, the work she creates now is an ongoing exploration of her Asian-American identity and the internal struggle of feeling incomplete or existing in-between, having to reserve space for a variety of imposed cultural influences. Calligraphic brush strokes obliquely refer to her East Asian heritage, acting as a yearning for permanence and a search for ancestral ties. The movement in her compositions hold a delicate tension, somewhere in-between action and rest and embodying the myriad of dualities we hold within.

Magic Color Acrylic Inks

These expressive and versatile acrylic inks are a fantastic medium to get your creative juices flowing. This inks are water-based and are intermixable so you can create a wide variety of hues with the colours you have. The ink will dry quickly once applied to paper, but whilst it is still wet you can create a range of different blends and effects. These pigments will dry waterproof and permanent, providing a high degree of lightfastness so they are fantastic for layering in your artwork. The finely ground pigments in these inks will not risk clogging any of your tools or brushes which also means that they are compatible for use with airbrushes and technical pens. These inks provide excellent adhesion to most surfaces and can be used for multimedia projects, achieving a vast array of effects and techniques for all of your artistic needs.

These pens will offer high-quality pigmentation and control for any creative project. They contain a low-odour water-based ink and a metal-enclosed plastic tip that is study and reliable.

Fun to play with

I have bought this set in offer to play around with my partner and children (6 and 3) - we don’t stick to the theme of the kit but we always have fun with new art supplies and new kind of art supplies which I wouldn’t have bought otherwise. The colours are lovely. We will put some of these into framed art and some will be given out as cards.

I had fun with the

I had fun with the inks! However I think liner pen was not “organic enough” to go with the floral theme. Colorful pencil or dip pen or even a stick to dip into ink would have worked better. I like the textured paper!
Overall it was good experience to work with the supplies.

Fun to experiment with different

Fun to experiment with different ways of using ink. Here is something I painted suggested by the prompt “In Bloom” . Cosmos and fennel were in bloom when I received the box in the autumn

Inky Fun

I got this box to try something new that I don’t usually use myself and I was pleasantly surprised! The colours are bright and vibrant and the brush is high quality!

All good, except one of the liner, which seems to have partially melted at the bottom

A really great selection. I

A really great selection. I felt spoilt. I am just getting to grips with the little pots. It's a new way of applying medium and I'm still a bit cack-handed with it. I'm loving learning, though.

Pretty darn sweet

This months package includes a wonderful collection of supplies with the fine liners being a particular favourite of mine, I haven’t used the inks before but look forward to trying them out and seeing what effects I can create and the transparency pieces I make

A fun way to try new products, the acrylic inks offer nice transparency and good combination of color palette

A little goes a long way ..

Very impressed with the quality of the materials in this box. The magic colour acrylic inks are super pigmented and create a strong pallet for working on. Works well in my mixed media journal - and the graphix fineliner pens are easy to control and work with.

Decent, haven't used to a

Decent, haven't used to a huge extent so have limited feedback. The inks are still in quality despite being left for so long and the paper is suitable too. The pens are a plus

Wish I had gotten this one.

I didn't actually receive this box because they were out of stock, but they sent me a replacement box which I loved.

love all of this box…
