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!

I’m a blog subscriber. Already have the pencils, but would love to have the pans. After watching this video, I will definitely be swatching the various watercolors I own. Thanks. LOVE your work!
I’m already subscribed to your blog , YT and Instagram too. I don’t own any, so either of these would be great. But if I must choose, I’m more intrested on watercolors.
Thank you for the opportunity!
Have a great weekend.

Just love your YT’s and have been a subscriber to it and your blog for many years. Have the watercolour paint set but think the woodless pencils would be fun to use. I live in Australia so don’t know if you want to sent them there and I am fine with that.
Hi Sandy! I’m also a subscriber of your blog and YT channel. I think I’d prefer the watercolors (just starting your Watercolor Jumpstart class), but I’m also intrigued by the pencils.
Thank you for the giveaway! I’m a subscriber to both your blog and YouTube channel for years now. I think I’d prefer the pencils and thanks, again!
Hugs!
I subscribe to your blog and YT. Either of these would be great as I don’t own them.
I just subscribe to your blog but I have been seeing you in You Tube for a while and I admire your work. I will like the pencils if I have the opportunity to win. Thanks so much for your generosity!! 🙂
I am subscribed to both.
I would love to win the watercolor pan, as I already own the pencils (and I LOVE them).
Thank you for the generous opportunity!
I’ve taken online and in person classes of yours ( I miss Absolutely Everything ssooo much). I follow you on your blog and Youtube, but have never subscribed till now. I’d love to try my hand at watercolor. You’re so generous to share!
Wow I totally love those colours!! They represent me for sure! Wouldnt mind any one, although the purple tin of the watercolours caught my eye
Yes subscribed to all, blog, YT x2, FB,IG…. Congratulations Altenew on your 7th birthday!
I thought I had already left a comment but its not here so I’m doing it again just incase its disappeared into the ether!
I’ve been subscribed to all your social media for years I follow you on FB and YouTube.
I would love to win the pencils but would also be happy to win the paints.
I love your idea to swatch out media and I’m going to start doing this as this will give me a much better idea on the colours etc. Sending hugs x

Hi Sandy, I think I follow you on everything except tweeter. I don’t have that. I love watching everything you do. You talent amazes me. I even love all our swatching videos. I am still working my way through some of your classes, hard to find a lot of extra time for them. Thought I would have lots of extra time when I retired, but everyone tries to fill my days. Lol. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Sandy! Love those EH woodless color pencils! I’ve always wanted to try them, so would love to win them. I don’t have the EH watercolors but I do want to try the pencils so much and do have other types of watercolors.
I have many other ALTNEW products that I love to use and know that the pencils would be great with them. 🙂

Thanks for the product intro. I would love to win the wood less colored pencils. I’ve always wondered about the color intensity.
Thanks also for your informational videos. I watch them all of the time and have learned a lot from them.

Hi Sandy 🙂
I am subbed on your YT and just subbed to the newsletter.
I think if I were to win the giveaway, I would choose the pencils. I don’t have anything like this and would like to give them a try.
Thanks for sharing.

Always love following you on any platform! If I am chosen I would love to try out the pencils! They are so easy to take on the go (if I ever leave the house again!). I have the WC pan set though I have yet to use them! You have me excited to swatch them and actually take the paper off the top of each pan!
So beautiful watercolors! TFS. My fave is the Altenew pan set.
I’m a subscriber to both the blog and YT. ^_^
Hi Sandy, Wow those colours are gorgeous. You are such an inspiration to everyone. I would love to have the pan colours to play with. Thanks and stay safe.
I’m a subscriber to your blog and Youtube channel both…and am ever so grateful for all the wonderful tips and tutorials that you share with us. Your talent inspires me every time I see a piece of your art and I’m always hoping just a teeny bit rubs off on me!
I’d love to try the watercolor pencils. I’ve never even seen woodless pencils and the colors look yummy,
Thanks for the chance to win an addition to my art stash.
Hi! I’ve just subscribed to your channel and blog! I would appreciate the pan set. Thanks!
Hi Sandy, Hopefully I’ve just subscribed to your blog. I already am subscribed to your YouTube channel. I would prefer the pan watercolors – thanks for the opportunity!
What a lovely and generous giveaway. I would be happy to receive either if I won, but that set of half pans sure is pretty! Thanks so much for the chance to win 🙂
Dear Sandy, I have been following you on you tube and so enjoy the advanced fine art you create and the delightful way you present your videos. I am one of those that loves working with brighter colors and this giveaway is so thoughtful. Thank you for your fun personality and ongoing trainings through your work.
Hi Sandi I have been a subscriber to both your blog and your YT channel for a few years now . I would be grateful to win either of these products they look so pretty and that flower stamp you coloured is gorgeous. Thank you for you cheerfulness you always put a smile on my face. Thank you also for your generosity
Hello, Sandy! How thoughtful and generous to pass along “less loved” products. I’ve been following you on YT for years and have enjoyed watching you grow. 🙂 Just subscribed to your blog, too. I love neutrals and brights, colors for every mood, lol! I do not have either watercolor medium from Altenew and would enjoy either one.
These colors are so lovely! I have never tried watercolor pencils so I’ll pick that 🙂 I’m subscribed to the blog and to your YouTube channel.
Subscribed to both 🙂 The pencils look like fun!
Hello! I would love to try the pencils! I’m subscribed to your blog and YT
Love seeing your creations
Hello Sandy, I truly enjoy watching your YT tutorials, they are so inspirational.
I would appreciate either of the 2 Altenew prizes. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us want to be artists. God bless you
Hi Sandy…love the comments on watercolors, new for me but giving them a go.
Would love the pan set. Be safe
I already subscribe to your YT channel and Facebook. Have a beautiful YELLOW day
Hi Sandy. Love watching your YT videos. Very inspirational and your commentary is awesome. Thank you for the give away. The water colors peaked my interest. But anything is welcomed!
Hi Sandy! I’ve been subscribed to your YT channel for years. Love your work. I’d love either one of these, so if I win, I’ll take whatever is left. But if I have to choose, I’d prefer the watercolors. Thank you for offering these to your viewers. And if you have any unclaimed giveaways, I’ll take whatever you want to get rid of, even if it’s used. Art supplies are expensive, as you know! Thank you!
I loved the colors of the Alternew sets. It would be wonderful to win either of them. I do live in Canada, so I don’t know if you would send them here. In any case, I appreciate your videos.
Hi Sandy, I’m a subscriber to both the blog and YouTube. I would love the watercolors!
