the company is so generous for giving all of that for $20, on average that would be at least be $45 😭 ( also now everytime i see Ke Huy Quan i can never unsee Waymond from everything everywhere at once 😭)
Its not really generosity. For example, it's unlikely they'd just send some unknown TH-camr with 10 subscribers this kit. It's all a marketing ploy: popular content creator shows product, compliments it, gives positive opinion, and their viewers will want to buy it. In the end, they spent $21 while getting hundreds in return. That said, as long as the content creator is giving a genuine opinion, I'm still happy for companies to do this! (Though I will say, I don't have the most positive opinion on Himi because their jelly gouache kits are so poorly put together. NONE of them close properly, and the gouache just dries out.)
I come from Indonesia, so Miya art supplies are the ones most people can afford without emptying their bank account. Personally I don't like the watercolor set, but hey I have that exact white gouache! My family always confuse it as some kind of drink haha
I was about to sa how expensive it is (ig for me lol) i thought 297k is considered expensive but if it comes with a full supplies then ah its worth it...i think ill just use a kid's watercolor i still have from elementary 😂
Hi, fellow Indonesian here. If you don't mind, what watercolor are you using right now? I love their gouache but a little bit hesitant in trying their watercolor
EDIT: Oh no. It sold out! I spoke to Miya and they are trying to get the link working again. I feel horrible for them. For anyone wanting to check them out.... amzn.to/3My9L71
Thank you so much for painting Ke Huy Quan! He has been an inspiration to me since i was little. Just letting you know that it means so much to so many people that you paint asian role models during AAPI heritage month.
@@arianemetayer2066 I'm saying he's a very skilled artist and it doesn't matter whether he uses a cheap art set or something premium. It always looks great in the end! Also the green in the background made me kinda hungry.
Honestly, I've been using their "jelly" gouache for two years now and I have never made a better investment in an art material. It's good quality for what you pay and it allows me to learn gouache freely without feeling like I'm wasting big buck, specially since I'm nowhere near being a professional.
Omg Thanku so much Scott... I've been switched to coloured pencils since a few years and I wanted to give a start to watercolours again and this is the best supplies I could ever get❤🎉
@@arianemetayer2066 well, as I said if aska wants to ho with the flow of gouaching over watercolor, their brand is nice ^^. Personally I started using gouache exactly because I'm doing watercolor
I was honestly a bit skeptical too when you mentioned the whole set was *20 dollars*, most companies would charge about 50$ for a set like that! Ke Huy Quan still turned out great, though!
Such a great job! Sets like this really are important when it comes to making watercolour accessible for beginners. I was recently having a conversation with the teacher who runs the art club at my children's school, and he told me that his main exposure to watercolours was in elementary school, and that the paint and paper were of such low quality, that using them turned him completely off the medium to the point that it had been decades since he'd thought about trying them. I donated some student grade watercolour sets (similar to what you used in this video) to the art club, and he was amazed at the difference they made to the painting experience. He tried them out (and so did the students) and now there's a new group of people in the world who are excited about watercolours, which makes me sooo happy, since they are basically my favourite thing.
Love how you try out inexpensive art supplies. It’s hard to tell how well they will turn out. Glad you are such an amazing artist that really puts things to the test.
I wonder if you've ever tried Gansai tambi? It's a brand of Japanese watercolors that can work like gouache with low amounts of water. They're not exactly 20 dollars, but I've been working with a set i was gifted on Christmas for a few years already. I occasionnally like trying out other brands, including really cheap ones from the dollar store, but these I always come back to. I hope my work is good enough to "honor" them, lol
Thanks for being both empathetic and honest about quality vs price. It's awesome to see pro artists showcasing affordable stuff, and you are one of the few who does so with an optimistic transparency and show tips for how you got the best output from basic materials. Amazing little portrait too!
I genuinely love this channel. Your work is amazing, and listening to your stories and reviews is just calming to me. Please make sure you never stop doing TH-cam!
I think it still looks great! Your lineart style feels like the most defining feature of your work to me, so really any medium that you try out looks really nice usually
I also recently got one of the packages but instead of watercolors, i got gouache (my package had gouache, brushes, eraser, 2 canvases, the black and teal thingys, and a thing of white gouache to refill the white color when im running low- oh i also got a spray that helps mold from growning on my paints) Also the teal/black things is to hold your brushes to let them dry if you open them (i had to looks this up as i also didnt know what these were for🤣) Also your painting in this short looks amazing! Edit: the package also included 2 pencils that are 2B and HB
Miya is a lovely brand, I'm in love with their jelly gouache. I like the brushes too but they have it weird in amazon in my areas so I'd have to pay more for 3 brushes than for 24 gouache set that includes those brushes :(. And I found no refills outside of alliexpress that wouldn't have bonkers prices.
Very good nonetheless ^-^ while the color’s definitely didn’t blend like they normally would. I feel it made the shades pop out more individually! It could be a cool experiment to see if you can create a piece where you have a specific focal point on a face you’d like to have.
I love seeing you try affordable new art supplies! Makes it much easier for people to make informed decisions with how you explain them. Hope you're doing well in the hobbit hole!
For a long time I've believed artists who practice and tough through the cheap materials will do better with the nicer materials. In highschool I interpreted this as a way to tell people that more expensive stuff was not some magical shortcut to being "good" at art.
For $21 this seems like a awesome gift to get someone from a kid who wants to explore art or you want to just introduce them to art.......all the way to a adult. I mean even if they decide they want better paints, there is still alot you can still use that is worth $21
maybe it's because I'm biased towards your work as it is my favorite but in my eyes that final piece was phenomenal! I still respect your unique perspective on things like this still!
I love your paintings. They always come out so well. I tried watercolors a few times, but they're tricky since they're water based. I'm better with a acrylics.
This is soo cool! I'm an artist too! After seeing you, I wanted to do realistic but I really can't but my own style is fine. Should I just stick with my style and let it grow instead of trying to change? Thanks
I genuinely can't tell the difference from your normal supplies and only 20$?! What a steal! (Also Ke Huy Quan definitely deserved that Oscar with how Hollywood treated him for years)
🙂My hopes were raised & immediately dashed. ☹I've wanted to try their jelly goache simply because I'm mesmerized by their color selection. I REALLY want that light orchid. I was hoping the color pallet would be the same. That set looks like so much fun & I would've purchased it even though I don't need it for the pallette & the colors 🥺.
I actually bought most of my new stuff from that brand. As a returning artist their price and products are actually good and reasonable esp. for beginning artists.😊
For $20, the output was amazing! I mean - i can buy a watercolor set's in a toystore for a lot more money and they can't compare what you painted in this video.
I tried Himi Gouache a while back and thought they were great for beginners. I gave my set to my mom cause I was building M Graham and Holbein gouache palette.
This might sound weird but it's delightful when it happens. I love doing cheap first and ,'graduate' up levels, so to speak. In almost everyday things. Food, vehicles, appliances...but mostly in art. When I discover the 'better' in my art projects, time just melts away. It can be soooo addictive. I'm in my 50s and life surprises can be few and far between. But when this happens, I feel like a kid again...
I just bought my very first set of Winsor and Newton gouache (and other supplies) for my college color theory class, and my wallet is NOT happy with me, to say the least. I've never worked with gouache before, so I'm very excited!
That does look pretty tasty ,thanks for showing me that there are portable water color carrying cases ...now I can go out and live paint a scene ❤😂your amazing ..how many people have you helped out now..... probably lost count❤❤❤
I have given my money to Dr Ph Martin, Holbein and Daniel Smith for their watercolors and there's no turn back. Also knowing the six main colors (cold and warm colors with black) helped me to save money than using a full set (since I don't paint green or purple stuff too often). I can recommend Paul Rubens! Their watercolors are more opaque but they're quite good to learn and quite cheap too. I use them a lot too.
For using $20 materials this looks amazing. It looks better than some of the other materials I’ve used that were around the same price.(not all paints and brands are created equally)
i agree!
You can say that again!

“Flavors I mean colors” this killed me 😂
And right after the gouache looking like milk too
Does he taste them?🤨
@@reapsx1309 ofc he does, as one always should
These r my utensi- I mean brushes
sam does arts said traditional artists eat gouache, his is a reference to that
These 'cactus bags' are travel water buckets. And that hook on the side is the brush holder. Filled with water they are pretty good. :D
Where do they open? I was thinking the arm might be to hold a brush
@@recoveringsoul755 to open it the first time is a bit tricky but moving the plastic sideways between thumb and index finger helps. Flat part is the bottom and rounded part is where the opening is.
They are even called desktop bucket on the list on the package.
I’m about to use them as water bottles instead

$20 is roughly over 1,000 Philippine pesos and for the supplies included in this package, it's a good deal! Thank you for sharing this, Scott ❤

The "whatever these things are" is a water container, yes it holds in place when you fill it with water
"Flavours- I mean, colours"

Hey Scott, what to you think about Michael's you know, the art store, do you go there sometimes?
I like that style of art the paints made!! It kind of reminds me of acrylics! I love your vids and ur a huge inspiration!!❤️❤️

Art truly is an investment like everything else 😎
Im honestly shocked that this is actual okay quality for only 20 dollars! [Btw i love your videos so much!!!! ❤]
Finally someone not pushing beginners to buy the most expensive art supplies!
I always say flavors instead of colors, it’s just so much more fun.
I think you like jolly ranchers candy. That's why you said "24 flavours" 😂
I love that he said that these colours won’t work the same as expensive ones!
This is not about the tools but its about the skill you use expensive or cheap tools both of ur work are amazing man ❤
i audibley gasped when i saw you use your pallet knife to cut the paper! i never thought of that. thats the best idea! :O
Well look whos early today!😅 love how those are affordable those are. Especially as a young artist and has a very tight budget😅❤❤
Thank u for helping throughout my childhood because those are art supply where very nice to work with❤❤❤
I haven't drawn traditional for years since I moved to digital but every time I see art supplies, its like I'm looking at gold.
I love your paintings. They always come out so well. I tried watercolors a few times, but they're tricky since they're water based. I'm better with a acrylics.

This why I just use a pencil and paper 😊 but everyone has own preference
YESSS I CAN CONFIRM THAT MIYA IS GOOD bcs I’ve been using the gouache for years and it was incredible
I’m not even an artist and i still love his video cuz they are so comforting for no reason
I genuinely can't tell the difference from your normal supplies and only 20$?!

I'm early!! Hi Scott, hope all is well for you and your family! Much love ❤️❤️
Add gouache to water colour is one of my greatest tip cos it means you get the opacity but with the colours your already know.
My man turned the art supplies into a gourmet meal 😂
