Coming up in February

First of all, please follow me on my new Twitter account - you can find me at @spin_doctor_art and it is the place to look to see what is coming soon as early bird info goes on Twitter usually!

I thought I would post just a few hints of what is to come this month since I have recorded a whole bunch of reviews - which now have a Part A (unboxing, first impressions etc) and Part B (a few weeks later with more detail having used them a fair bit):

* Schmincke Horadam 12 half-pan palette. Many of you have asked me to look at a Schmincke product and so here it is. A safety warning - this palette has razor sharp edges! If anyone has similar issues with Schmincke palettes can you please post in the comments and let me know?

* Wallace-Seymour watercolours. I have three series from them - their artists' watercolours in full pans, early watercolours in half pans and some super special ones with no pans at all - watch this space!

* Daniel Smith watercolours. Again, a lot of people have asked and I caved in owning to Kathleen and Jacqueline sending me the Essentials set which I really enjoyed roadtesting. I have the Primatek set and Alvaro Castagnet set as well as some of the fashionable mixes to demonstrate and talk to you about.

* Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley. Two words: art journal. One of the best I've ever seen. I've been trying to destroy it with inks and paints for months and it is still going - this IS a new area for me so I've had to kind of learn to art journal to fully road test it for you!

DON'T FORGET: we have two competitions running - one for a FREE set of Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers in either the GREENS or the WARM GREYS sets AND the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons "Set 2"! All you have to do is subscribe to my channel and website and go to the relevant video on my channel and simply tell me why you want to win them - and give me a thumbs up whilst you're there of course ;)

Oh and happy Valentine's Day (bah humbug!)
