It’s your lucky day – giveaway day! First – let me show you some fun with color – swatching out the watercolor and watercolor pencil sets that Altenew sent me in advance of the bloghop coming up on the 11th!

The watercolor pencils are pretty awesome; they melt SO WELL. I wasn’t expecting that! It usually takes a high end pencil to do that, but Altenew nailed it. Plus they’re woodless – meaning the whole “stick” is pigment, not wood with a thin bit of lead in the middle! If only these were in “my” colors…..but I know for lots of you, bright is the only way to go!
Similarly – the watercolors are a little bright for me. I’m much more into neutrals and transparency, but these are pretty sweet for crafters wanting some beautiful splashes of rainbow color!

Hi Sandy,
I am subscribed to your blog and your YouTube channel. I love watercolor videos. I would be thrilled with either the pencils or the paints.
Hi! I am already subscribed to your blog and to your YouTube channel. The colors in both items are amazing! I do not have either one, so I probably would choose the watercolors. Thank you so very much! Hello from Kansas!

Hi Sandy!
I hope you are doing well…
I’ve been a fan and subscriber of yours for quite a while. I especially enjoy your ease in teaching as it always inspires me to continue painting.. I am interested in the Woodless Watercolor Pencils Set of 24, Altenew EH – ALT and the Silver Brush Black Velvet Round #8 EH .
Watercolor pencil colors are very beautiful and I would love to have the opportunity to try them.
Thank you so much for all you do!
Big Hugs!
I’m just starting to dip my toes into the world of colored pencils, watercolors, and watercolor pencils. discovered Bible Art Journaling and my new journaling Bible arrived 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t sure how to get started. I found a couple of your YouTube videos and loved your teaching style so I signed up for both your Bible Journaling and Colored Pencil jumpstart courses. I’ve completed 8-9 of the BJ classes. Once I complete all of them, I’ll begin the colored pencils course. I don’t have either of these products and would be happy with either one. However, if you feel one is better suited to a Bible Art Journaling newbie, that would be my first pick. Thank you for sharing your gifts and talents with us!
God Bless,
Alison
And I am subscribed to both your blog and YT.
Watching you paint is very enjoyable and relaxing, even if it’s just swatches (although I absolutely love your fine art compositions especially). I wouldn’t mind trying out the pan paints…
Hi Sandy. The pencils look like a great to put out when I return to crafting with friends! YT, blog and Patreon subscriber!
Hi Sandy thanks for the giveaway. I am subscribe to both already and enjoy watching your videos.
I would prefer the watercolor set but if I get picked later I will gladly take the pencils I love watercolors and I’m just learning so any new mediums will help !!
I love the wood less watercolor pencils and I don’t miss any of your YouTube videos.
I’m already subscribed to both blog and YT!
I’d love to try out the pan watercolors! Beautiful swatches!
I just subscribed to your blog. I already subscribed to your YouTube channel (that’s how I found this video on watercolors). I recently started adding to my copic markers, as I’ve enjoyed your copic coloring videos. I think I’d enjoy the watercolor pencils the most.
Im subscribed to your blog AND you You tube! I would be happy to add either set to my collection! I love your work.
Thanks
Rose
Hey Sandy! I am a Copic lover and have followed you for a very long time for what you teach me! Lately, I have started to combine Pencils with Copics and now I am thinking about mixing watercolor pencils with my Copics… I would love to try the woodless pencils as that is something I have never used. Thank you for your generosity!
I found the coloured pencils rather interesting. I love bright colours, so either of the two would be welcome.
I’d love to win the pan watercolors. Thank you for being so generous
Debbie
This is so nice of you. I’d rather have the pan watercolors. Thanks!
I’d prefer the pan watercolors. This is so sweet of you to share. I’m subbed to your blog and I think I’ve watched every YT you’ve made. Thank you.
I’d prefer the pan watercolors. I have quite a few pencils including Albrect Durer which I love. This is so sweet of you to share. I’m subbed to your blog and I think I’ve watched every YT you’ve made. Thank you.
I love everything you do , I’ve learned a lot washing your videos and always trying to copying your ideas . I would love any of those items the pencils or the watercolor looks really nice ! Thanks Sandy
Thank you I think maybe the watercolors! I have lots of pencils but am trying to do a bit more water coloring! I am subscribed to your blog and I believe the YouTube channel also
Thank you for doing this, you are the best teacher. I’m already subscribed to your blog and YT. I think I would prefer the pencil set, they look like they blend very well.
I am a subscriber to your blog and YT channel. I would love either of these watercolor sets, and your videos are so nice to watch. TY for sharing your supplies with us.
I am subscribed to your blog. Love all the ideas. Thanks so much for the chance to win these beautiful colors!
It was my subscription on your YouTube channel that posted me here! I’m curious about the watercolor pencils. My hubby recently backordered some Albrecht-Durher watercolor pencils and I’d love to compare these with my new ones and my Prismacolors.
Hoping your hand heals fully – super fascinated by your videos!
I love your watercolor videos! I am already subscribed on YT and watch you all the time. I have never used watercolor pencils and these would be awesome to try. Love the colors! thanks for all your hard work!!
I could watch you paint all day. So relaxing – not boring, like watching paint DRY. I would be very glad to win either the pencils or the pan set. Keep those videos coming!
Hi Sandy, I hope that your hand heals quickly. I don’t have either but if I’m picked I would love one of your cards, they are gorgeous! Thank you for all the wonderful and informative content.
Thanks for another great video Miss Sandy. I already subscribe through email and you tube. I would love to win the pencils! Thank you for your generosity!
Hard to choose but as youve inspired me to get mostly DS watercolours I’ve added to a palette, I’d love to try the pencils. I avoid direct to paper use of them because they don’t blend that well but since these do, I’d love to try them.
I’m subbed to your YT
Love these colours. I prefer my colours a bit muted too but thankfully you’ve taught me how to add a complementary colour to do that! I’m subbed to your blog.
Hi Sandy!!! I have been a YT subscriber for a while now and just subscribed to your blog 🙂 If I were lucky enough to be picked, I would be very interested in the watercolor pencil set, though the pan watercolor set would also find a good home here. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win a set 🙂
I am already subscribed to your blog. Waiting for an order of the smaller watercolor pan to arrive. Would love to try the watercolor pencils. Thanks for a chance!
I enjoy all of your videos. You can sent me either of those!!
Hi Sandy, I am already subscribed! I have the Altenew watercolors but do not have the Altenew watercolor pencils. Thankyou for all your help with learning watercoloring!
Hi Sandy, I am already subscribed to your blog and YT channel. I would love the Altenew colored pencils, I already own the watercolors. Thank you for sharing your all your work with us.
I’m already subscribed to your blog and YouTube channel. I live vicariously through your talents. That said, I think I would be better able to handle the watercolor pencils.
Sandy,
I am an art teacher in a High School. I use watercolor pencil lead to make watercolor spray bottles. I use the watercolor pencil lead spray as an under painting for teaching watercolor paintings. The brand that I was using, they discontinued so I am looking for a new watercolor pencil. I would love to try those with my students and spray bottles. I think I could get several spray bottles with one pencils.
Hi Sandy–I’m already subscribed to your blog and YouTube channel (Stephanie T). The Altenew Woodless Watercolor Pencils are definitely my favorite of the two…because they’re different, and that’s SO MUCH color! Thank you for doing the giveway.
I am an art teacher and I use the lead of watercolor pencils for my under painting. So I am looking for a new brand of watercolor pencils that I can dissolve in my spray bottles. I think that I could get several bottles of spray with the pencil lead. I use this method with my high school students.
Hola, Sandy. I am a long time cult follower of yours. haha haha I have been subscribed for a long time now. I would LOVE to try the watercolors. They are GORGEOUS!
Hello Sweet Lady, I’m subscribed to your blog & YouTube! I don’t own either of the pencils or the watercolours & be blessed to win & LOVE either one! I’m praying that your hand heals quickly! God Bless & the Love of Christ to you & yours!!
Hi Sandy 🙂 Thanks for your generous heart! I’m receiving your email newsletter so I guess that means I’ve subscribed to your blog. I know I’m one of your You Tube subbies. I would prefer the Altenew watercolors, but either would be terrific! I’m continuing to pray for your hand to heal. Thanks for your wonderful teaching and inspiration 🙂
Love your videos, I colored “alongside” you and got such a great card, I couldn’t believe I made it 🙂 so thank you for inspiring me to try. I follow you on Instagram and youtube and now on your blog. I would love the watercolor set since I don’t have one. Thank you for sharing with your viewer and hope your hand feels better soon.
Hello,
I am already subscribed to your blog and YT channel. I’m interested in the watercolor pencils, but either one would be wonderful. Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Forgot to mention that I’m interested in anything that will help me color better. Want to come for a visit?
Hi Sandy, I forgot to add that I subscribed to your blog and YT. Thanks
I always enjoy and appreciate your postings. I’m not very good at coloring so I always learn a lot from you. I just got my first set of watercolor pencils. My goal for the summer rainy days is to practice, practice, practice.
Hi Sandy! I’m already subbed to both blog and YT. Either one is fine. Thanks, Jan
Thanks for the chance to win! I am subscribed to both your blog and YT channel. My first choice would be the watercolors as I don’t own any and would really like to give it a try. I would also take the pencils as I’ve seen others use them with nice results. Either one would fill a hole in my craft supplies. Thanks for all that you share with us. You are a great inspiration on many levels. Praying that hand continues to heal!
Hola, I am already subcribed and I would appreciate any item.lol.
Seriously if people don’t claim…I will graciously except. Looking for to your Creation. Thank you
