Not What I Expected: ArtSnacks Plus Unboxing for July 2021

Not What I Expected: ArtSnacks Plus Unboxing for July 2021

I tried ArtSnacks Plus art subscription box this month for two reasons:
1. It was half off for new subscribers
2. It was SUPPOSED to be a watercolor box (for World Watercolor Month)

…and I wanted the Washi tape too, so I guess that makes it 2.5 reasons.

I feel let down by ArtSnacks. Inside, there was only one real watercolor paint. I mention in the video that the theme should have been water soluble mixed media, but actually only two items were water soluble. (See the list of products and links below). Not only that, but the quality of products just wasn’t there. The paint was artist grade, but the color did not give a wide range of values.

On the flip side, I’m really happy with the second piece I made from the supplies. (The first attempt was kind of a “crash and burn” situation.)
When they prompt you with the ArtSnacks Challenge, they aren’t jokin’. It really is a challenge.

I guess I didn’t do much talking about each individual product in this box. Sorry about that. I turned out to be more focused on the box as a whole, instead of the individual items.
