The Spin Doctor likes spinning, crochet, knitting and weaving and drawing (charcoal, pen and ink), colouring (pen and ink, ProMarker, tinted charcoal), painting (acrylic, watercolour, gouache and very, very rarely oil), papercraft (dyes, inks, alcohol inks, die-cutting) and mixed-media. Through this website he shares projects, tips, product reviews and gives help where he can to those who need it.
So, whilst it is lovely when my fans send me even just complementary emails let alone anything else, I've never asked for anything and never would, but I've had a series of really nice things sent to me in the last 6 months - mostly items people are keen for me to review - and I've been left a few tips in the tip jar on my website, which all helps to keep and improve my channel of course. I did get a surprise gift this week - a set of Royal and Langnickel scrubbing brushes for removing watercolour - I've no idea who sent them as very often vendors don't pass that information to the recipient and I would like to be able to say thank you, so if it was you, please let me know! I gave them a really quick try out in this video but will do a proper review in due course. They certainly did the job lifting some Daniel Smith Moonglow that was long-dried onto a cheap scrap of paper, with far less effort that my usual scrubbing tool (a sawn-off £2 hog bristle flat!) in any case! This little haul is a couple of items I ordered from Amazon USA a few weeks back, namely: Daniel Smith Watercolour Ground (Titanium White) Amazon USA: US$10.92 Amazon Canada: CDN$38.32 CDN$30.84 Amazon UK: £29.68 Dick Blick: US$13.94 US$7.95 Jackson's: £9.99 £8.60 Prima Marketing The Classics Watercolours Amazon USA: US$25.00 US$17.98 Amazon Canada: CDN$32.65 Amazon UK: £48.60 £17.56
