We bet that wasn't cheap watercolor paper, either- the paper makes a huge difference!

Okay but I will say, I use like $4 for 30 A5 watercolour paper and $2 for 4 brush(at daiso) and $1.80 pencil and $12 for 8 tubes of water colours and make decent art. It's not all about price. Daiso make really good cheap brushes
As an artist I was going to comment Blick is one of the best companies to purchase from since you have something for everyone at every skill level and price point. Keep up the great work! You will always be first on my recommendation list
About those horrible brushes that come with watercolours. I never understood how on earth they could be used until i enrolled in ceramic course. When the mug i made was drying and i wanted to carve it, the little pieces of clay, i just carved off would stick to the inside of the mug. Turns out, these brushes are just perfect for ceramic final touches. It is perfectly soft and hard at the same time so it helps to clean clay dust like no other instrument. So yeah, it is a terrible brush for painting, but perfect for cleaning in sculpting or ceramics!
Idk why people fuss about your art supplies. I'm an artist I don't paint but draw and although I know not everyone can afford the same tools, If I'm serious about my artwork I'm not buying dollar tree items. I'm glad you did the vid it's still beautiful.
Yeah I am definitely not rich lower then middle class I assume and All of my art supplies came from five and below or online for a decent price nothing over 50$ and it's all pretty decent quality. There's a lot of supplies you can find for cheap you just got to search
I think it depends i have been drawing for 9 years and i still cant go more than drawing with pencil and pen, and drawing in ibis Paint with my finger, i have some good color pencils ( i buyed them 4 years ago) but i cant use them because the paper were i draw isn't strong enough and the quality is pure ass. Everything is just so expensive where i live://
Not even like expensive paint matters as much. Scott sava has a video testing winsor and newton paint vs crayola paint, ofc the lightfastness is different but the initial paint looks identical. For watercolour, the paper is the most important part. You just have to learn which of your supplies matters the most and put the most investment into that.
@@SylverScourge I mean it all depends how the paint plays with other colors. Usually blending is easiest with certain mid to higher tier brands. Artist loft is crap hell my paint professor even banished it from being used in class. He showed the why and it's easy to understand. I would get mid tier big tube of white and black then high end smaller tubes that were medium size in colors generally just primary because you can mix and get a nice range and a variation of shades.
Oh well anyways it’s a great video as always!! And I’m a HUGE fan!!! You have inspired my channel a lot!!! I wish I could one day be as famous as you by doing my passion- ART!
I live in England, and I have to say the quality of these are actually brilliant compared to the equally priced British versions. As a GCSE art student, it’s not fun to have to use bad quality things just because you can’t afford the more expensive ones.
I actually made abstract art with the dollar tree paint pallet and they blended pretty well! Tbh I love how you painted and blended the word that you wrote!
Definitely, I personally think beginners/layman should understand that buying cheap supplies to train is better than hastily buying expensive materials, specially because pro artists use it for archival purposes!
There is no reason anyone cant make good art with cheap supplies, however you put Crayola next to Prisma color and the proof is there that more expensive products tend to give better results. This is true with any craft. If one feels invested in a craft. one will spend/earn the moneyz to get high quality tools/products.
IDK if you have the brand over there, but there's one brand that I could actually reccommend as good economy/hobby/student materials that help people to really hone their skills while they're not ready to dedicate the money to high end supplies. That brand is Mont Marte.
fun fact: adding powdered marble to cheap paint (acrylic paint, idk if it works with other types) makes it look nicer, and it has a similar quality to more pricey paints, making it thicker and smoother, with a matte finish. powdered marble is pretty cheap too, costs about 10 bucks or so for about 4 pounds of the stuff, it makes my art look a whole lot nicer, so I thought this might help someone, happy art-ing!
Yeah, you use the art supplies that you want and few comfortable with using to create YOUR art. Not anyone else’s, if you want to get “expensive” stuff because you prefer it get it, all art is expensive hence the term broke artist, love your art btw!
I remember once when my mom bought me a cheap rock paint kit - basically that kind of thing where you get white rocks and you can paint on them. As soon as I started using the brush, all the bristles fell off and the brush itself broke. Not only that, but the colors weren’t that good.. That didn’t stop me from painting the rocks with my fingers and the end of the brush tho >:3
“You only use expensive art supplies and for unexplained reasons it bugs me that you are using your money on your things. I do NOT appreciate that as a viewer and we need to change how you spend your money NOW!!!” These people, girl… 🤦 Use your money for what you want, but also love the art!! ♥️
Actually, these paints are very very good! You have to dip the paintbrush into water before every dip into the paint. Don’t put water into the water color tablets. Just soak the paintbrush, dip the paintbrush into the tablet, paint, dip into water, and repeat. If the tablet gets really wet then the paint will start to make little globs. If that starts to happen, use a paper towel to take of the top layer of water and continue!
I get some of my art supplies from dollar tree, canvases are so worth it. They sell fabrics and if you need small pieces of fabric they work pretty well too.
I love the dollar store!!!!! My favorite place to go sometimes! Rlly great quality stuff, some things aren’t good quality but a majority of the things there are.
advice for beginners: using cheap art supplies 100% works. the truck is to get some nice paper. instead of spending your money on all these crazy expensive art supplies, invest in some nice heavy duty art grade paper
The reason why artist use more expensive is because (usually) they are better quality and more fun/easier to use. Dollar store paints don’t work as well so if they can afford better art supplies they can and they probably will wanna use it lol
I was doing Monotype printmaking in class, which involves painting acrylics on a non-absorbant surface. I thought I could cheap out with low-quality watercolor but... they dried so much that I couldn't reactivate them later for printing, so I failed the assignment despite doing way more homework than needed :D
i recommend crayola watercolors! They aren’t expensive and if you have nice paper they work super well. I love the crayola ones, but they do require quite a bit of layering as they aren’t super pigmented.
The actual paintbrushes ( meaning not the crappy plastic bristle ones ) are actually pretty good for people who are working on a budget! I buy them from time to time, I wont even lie and they last, and stay in shape pretty good!
What you are supposed to do instead of pairing straight from the color circles, you are supposed to use them as pigments to color drop of water, because it is ‘water’ color, you pigment water and paint with that, so you can fix the saturation by adding more water to your mix of water and pigment
“I’ve been getting a lot of comments on how I only use expensive art supplies, so instead of trying to find and test affordable art supplies for my audience, I’ve decided to review the cheapest possible supplies that most poor people will already know suck for fun :)”
good grief! why get so defensive unless this was already an insecurity of yours? lol. Also "affordable" is sooo subjective, people like you will never be satisfied
i mean she found and tested affordable art supplies so i don’t know what the fuck youre complaining about, beggers cant be choosers she did what you asked for
I haven't touched those kinds of watercolors in years. I do have two different dollar store sets (I'm in the states) there's like...32 colors on each and it was a dollar each, although the second one was a gift.
I have one of those dollar store watercolors and when I first got them I opened it and they were so shiny and plasticy that I thought it still had some really tight plastic on it I only use them when my markers don't have enough marker juice left in them to finish a drawing and I hate using it :)
Guys ik the artist didn’t say anything negative but don’t think you have to buy expensive things in order for your art to look good cause if you don’t know how to use it to your standards then that just means your not used to it nor very experienced with the media hope that helped some fellow artist not just beginners 🤗
Thank you so much for making this! For years I avoid using the water color because this was the type of paint I used to use in school, which made me hate water color. ❤😊
Tipp: Invest in good paper over paints it can make a hell of a difference and even cheap paint works most of the time. And if you have for example cheap acrylics try mixing a little starch into it!
By the way to anyone trying to learn how to do calligraphy, with down strokes you have to always press hard to make a fat line and when you go up you always have to do it lightly to make a thin line.
Are we srsly still stuck in the " It's the materials that make the artist not the skills" Materials won’t make a difference, it all depends on how much practice you've got and good you are at working and adapting to different materials, brands etc
Hi! I just wanted to let you know there is a set of sparkly watercolour paints at the Dollarstore where I live (in BC) and it has like five little things of sparkly watercolour in bronze, gold and champagne for a good price. I highly recommended checking them out because I’ve heard people they say they’re actually really good paints and the cost is low!
I saw in one art video that instead of buying expensive art supplies, you should instead buy expensive paper (good quality kind of paper) cause the paper you use affects the art supplies you use. Though I think most people already know this.
I'm not someone talented or experienced in this field, but I think the final product is amazing. The colour is gorgeous. As someone who is absolutely have zero idea about this kind of stuff, I give 8 (maybe 9) out of 10 😆. I had to. Hahahahaha!
Why are people mad she's just using high quality art materials to make high quality art. Yeah not everyone can afford it but obviously she can so who's is hurting? I swear to God people these days just want to complain about something
With watercolour in particular, it's best to invest in the paper than the paints. The paints I use (and have been using for almost 4 years now) are about $3 for a set of 18 colours, but the paper is much more expensive. But the paper holds up nicely to multiple layers, and the colours look really good on them too.
I had an art professor that said, "There are three main parts to painting: the working surface, the brushes, and the pants. If you must get cheap supplies, only do so for one of these three. Choose carefully."
Her:These aren’t horrible.
Also her: I will give this a 3/10
Fr
Well a 5/10 is average, so 3/10 is “kinda bad, but not horrible”, which she said these art supplies are. “Horrible” would be a 1/10.

Exactly. If you save up a bit and but some expensive good quality art supplies it will be so much better for you in the long run.

It isn't about how good the art supplies are it's about how the artist use them (no hate) 😊
tbh it's a little of both. sometimes supplies are genuinely nigh unworkable and a sensory nightmare, like that brush.
