Hi Veronika, We're pleased you found it to be inspirational :) Thank you The Artful Team
I think it's really great but I skipped the last 2 boxes, because I think it's starting to be more of the same. And especially just a box of pencils will not get me excited to pay such a big amount of money. I still like the lino box the most, because that was truly something different than painting or drawing. I like this subscription so I can try things that are totally new, but painting with watercolor or gouache doesn't seem that different to me.

Hello Anouk, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We're very sorry to hear that you haven't liked the look of our past two boxes and have decided to skip them. We are working our way through as many different art styles as possible so hopefully, our next box will be a better fit for you personally :). The Artful Team
I loved every box I've got. Materials are always very good and right for beginners. My only issues are that in every box we always get the same 4 greeting cards and basic stationary that you can easily find in every house or in every stationary shop (without paying any shipment, that here in Italy gets to 10€, and leaves me a damaged box almost everytime).

Hello Francesco, Thank you for your review! It's brilliant to hear that you've loved every box you've received. We will pass on your feedback regarding the greeting cards and stationery to our creative team to consider for future boxes. Thank you The Artful Team
I love receiving the boxes and feel that they are mostly good value. I didn't think the pencil one was such good value though. I'm looking forward to trying gouache and I hope there will be a box on oil painting. i enjoy the tutorials as well

Hello Susan, Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear how much you love receiving the boxes, despite the Colouring Pencils box not being a favourite. We hope you enjoy the contents of the gouache box :) Thank you The Artful Team
Love artful boxes, always challenges my imagination. Some boxes better than others, but always worth a try!

Hello Faheemah, Thank you for your review! We're so glad to hear that you love the Artful boxes and having your imagination challenged! Thank you The Artful Team
I love the quality and the variety of the supplies. Unfortunately, as would be expected, some boxes are of much more interest to me than others. I would be very interested in tiered skill level boxes where if you weren’t interested in the newest box you could choose to select an intermediate or advanced level box in a previous medium like soft pastel or watercolor.

Hello Courtney, Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you love the quality and variety of our boxes and their supplies. We'll certainly pass on your suggestion regarding tiered skill level boxes :) Thank you The Artful Team
Artful has been a great way to rediscover art and explore new mediums.

Hi Lisa, It's lovely to hear Artful has helped you rediscover your creative spark! Thank you The Artful Team
I've really looked forward to seeing each quarterly theme and have enjoyed some great mediums. Far and away, my favourite box has been the ink box, it was great. Well done to everyone at Artful

Hi Alex, It's great to hear you've been enjoying each new box and have found a particular favourite in the ink box :) Thank you The Artful Team
Loving the Artful boxes, the materials are such high quality and there is a nice range to enable lots of different projects. The magazine is interesting with a good blend of tutorials and artist interviews or profiles so you can get inspired in other ways.

Hi Jody, It's fantastic to hear that you feel Artful is of high quality and you have been inspired to create from the magazine and tutorials included :) Thank you The Artful Team
Material of excellent quality. Perfect service. Of course Some boxes I do like better than others. Loved the watercolour, Lino print en ink box. The screen printing box is my least favourite.

Hi Irisa, We're pleased to hear you feel the service and quality of Artful is excellent :) We completely appreciate not every box will work for everyone, but are glad to hear you did find the ones that worked for you! Thank you The Artful Team
Great to have a pastel box and I enjoyed Lewis' tutorials. The box itself was very beautiful. I liked the range of colours but I didn't like the paper in the box hence the4 not 5 stars. I found it improved if I gave it a background of pastel flakes by a scalpel and brushed on then sealed with fixative. On the whole I was very pleased with the box and am pleased to add it to my collection of artful boxes.

Hello Lindsay, Thank you for your review and your feedback. We're so pleased to hear that you enjoy Lewis' tutorials as well as the beautiful boxes. We'll certainly pass on your feedback about the paper to the creative team to bear in mind for future boxes. Thank you The Artful Team
Really great, just wishing for a few more "traditional" art themes (the sketching and pastels and watercolours were great, is there any chance for more paint ones??)

Hi Nicole, We bring out a new box every 3 months so there will definitely be something you'll enjoy in the upcoming boxes! Thank you The Artful Team
Like a previous reviewer, I've enjoyed every Artful box so far except for the soft pastels, which I find tricky to use. Generally, the quality of the materials is excellent and is beautifully packaged. However, the paper provided with the pastel box didn't seem to work well with the pastels and I found the watercolour paper included in the previous box was not great quality. I would rather have an A5 rather than an A4 pad or less paper but better quality. I seem to have accumulated reams of the stuff now as I've ended up buying my own paper. I also agree that the tutorials in the latest magazine are deeply uninspiring as are the bonus online tutorials (sorry Lewis!). Artful tutorials used to be so much better - challenging but achievable. More recent ones are on a level that my ten year old can do them. I am waiting to see what the next box offers but I think I may be coming to the end of my Artful journey.

Hello Donna, Thank you for your review and thoughtful feedback, particularly on the tutorials, which we will pass onto the team. It's wonderful to hear that you've enjoyed all of your previous Artful boxes, despite finding that the most recent pastels box was not so appealing for you. We hope that you enjoy the upcoming box as much as your previous boxes! Thank you The Artful Team
Everything is amazing! I just wish some of the tutorials were simpler, so as not to jump straight away to something so complicated
Helpful Report
Hello Francisca Thank you for your review and for sending over your feedback about the tutorials. We really appreciate our customers getting in touch with ideas to improve the subscription as a whole. This is a really valuable point. You may have noticed that recently we have been doing more tutorials than normal? Lewis has joined our team here at Artful and is working to ensure that going forward we have a variety of tutorials for every box, which cater to all our individual subscriber's experience levels :). The Artful Team
Love the boxes but the subjects in the tutorials don’t appeal to me . I am not artistic enough to create my own !

Hello Sally, Thank you for your review and your feedback. We really appreciate you taking the time to share this. It's great to hear you love the boxes. However, we're sorry that the tutorials haven't appealed to you yet. We are going to be doing more tutorials every month, at different skill levels so hopefully, some of the new tutorials should catch your eye :). The Artful Team
I loved receiving boxes while in the UK but I sadly haven’t received this box yet.

The products and tutorials are absolutely wonderful. Its a very encouraging and inclusive culture and I found the books included in the box inspiring. Thankfully the boxes don't come every month as I haven' t found as much time as I would like to really get stuck in to trying out new skills.

Hi Diane, Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you've been inspired by the content included and have been able to gain new skills through it :) Thank you The Artful team
I love everything! 1 point deduction, because I would love it even more if there was a bit more diversity between painterly and craftsy stuff. The acrylic ink and the watercolors now felt a lot in the same vein. I joined because of the lino box, enjoyed everything since then, but crave something like macramee, sculpting or maybe even knitting.
