This kit has everything you need to create stunning watercolor stamped images the Art Impressions way - just add water and paper!
There are 7 kits available (and an 8th incomplete, see separate listing) and are perfect for using to teach Ai Watercolor classes. Or rather, if you're getting your start or want to expand your Ai Watercolor collection quickly (or enable a friend to give it a try), this kit is for you.
COMPONENTS
Palette - This clear, plastic watercolor palette is the standard pallet Art Impressions sells and is about 6"x8". These pallets are USED and may have marks or stains. They can be cleaned and re-used over again.
Acrylic blocks - Art Impressions has 3 standard block sizes, included in this kit - 3"x3", 1.5"x1.5", and 1"x1". These basic acrylic blocks are what you use to stick your cling mounted stamps on to stamp from. These blocks are USED and may be slightly marked. They can be cleaned and re-used over again.
Stamps - There is a huge variety of stamps included in this kit! You can create landscapes, floral arrangements, and more with these sets, mixing and matching for endless possibilities. They are found in various common Art Impressions sets, but are not complete sets in and of themselves. There are three different house/structures, a door, two trees, a truck, two bicycles, a tree stump, a basket, an urn, a pot, a pitcher, a child, two birds, two branches, a vine, three long stem florals, two flower bunches, four grasses, a birdhouse, a little door (cute with the tree stump!), small tree, wreath, and snowy logs. Some of these stamps are USED and may have staining. They are still fine to use, they can be cleaned and will work even if stained. Some stamps are actually brand new and even have the paper backing on it - if that's the case, just peel the paper off. The kits are mixed with both new and old stamps.
Markers - You'll see there are both Tombow Dual Brush and Marvy Le Plume II markers included. They have both been used for the Ai Watercolor method. Some are new and some are used - since there are USED ones, and it's been a while, you'll see in the pricing breakdown that I am NOT charging for the markers at all, just in case the ones you get might be dry. They haven't been opened in about 4 years - now some markers can last well for a long time, so they might be totally fine. But just in case they aren't fine, please know that I am NOT charging for them, as you see in the breakdown below. The colors from Tombow are 969 (brown), 885 (red), 850 (flesh), 565 (dark blue), 526 (light blue), 177 (light green), 249 (dark green). The colors from Marvy are 6 brown, 13 ochre, 28 English red, and 8 violet.
Brush - the #4 Connoisseur brush is the basic brush for Ai Watercolor. It's synthetic bristles work well. These brushes are USED and may be discolored, but should work just fine.
Box- eat kit includes a 4x8 pencil box that you can fit some stamps, markers, and blocks into. I recommend selecting the stamps you teach from and put them in the box for that class.
COST BREAKDOWN
Here is my rationale for the price:
Palette $1
3 Acrylic Blocks $3
8 Large Stamps at $3 each = $24
7 Medium Stamps at $2 each = $14
19 Small Stamps at $1 each = $19
11 Markers at $0 each = $0
Brush $1
Box $3
Total $65
BULK PRICING
You'll see eBay allowed me to set bulk pricing - so if you buy more, you save more! If you're interested in teaching, you might want to invest it multiple kits (until supplies last!). Based on the cost of your classes, you can earn back this investment.
Please note - I have another listing for a nearly identical set as to this, however it's missing TWO stamps and the box. However, it's still a great kit and you might not miss that much if you need another set for teaching (while supplies last).
Happy Stamping!
