About poster paints, they're used for animation as they're inexpensive, very pigmented and can use little paint to do a lot, but because of this they're not lightfast, so it's good to take that in consideration!
Chloe tried that brush cleaner thing too and I'm pretty sure it went just as well. Hers wasn't broken, but if definitely didn't work the way it's advertised.
Omg I thought I somehow had watched this video before and went to the comments to see if this was a reupload but I had watched Chloe’s and your comment made me realize hahaha
@@SuperRaedizzle Ehi! Are you sure you put the spring in the right spot? Based on the picture it seems like it should be on the upper part of the button! Love from Italy
@@SuperRaedizzle The spring should be ontop of the base lid, not underneath. It should push the button up which lifts the stopper to block the drain hole.
I've been a HUGE fan of Sprout pencils for a few years now. They were a super fun way to do homework while finishing my degree during the pandemic, and I ended up with cute plants from it! They also sell them in certain National Parks here in the US with endemic species of pine seeds inside, with funds going to conservation of the park! I have a Spruce from Grand Teton and a Ponderosa from Yosemite!
About the paint syringe. You can just disassemble it by pulling it apart and just scoop the paint inside. Then push until there's no air pockets and put the cap on! Edit You can also mix and store custom shades (for example skin color)
I was going to say this too! It also keeps you from wasting the paint you're trying to save, because then you're just going from tube to tube. Also if you can get a wider syringe, like 150ml, it would be even easier to get the paint in the tube, you could probably squeeze it straight in.
@@thoraschramm8133 Yeah of course you can, but are they airtight? I think the whole point of the syringe trick is to keep the paint from drying out. You can also mix the right shade and keep it for later use 😊 (in theory at least)
I actually use syringes like that. I bought 6 new colours of paint and found out the caps were defective so I put all that paint into syringes and they still haven't dried out 3 years later 😄
Yeah those paints are defo better for posters and animation than traditional painting. Bright, uniform colours, so you can use them as is from the bottle
@@SuperRaedizzlethe paints are poster colours! poster colours are water activated, so it’s easy to activate the dry paint again and accidentally mix the colours!
@@SuperRaedizzlenot to bother you but I just wanted to say that I love your artwork and not to be one of those people but I would enjoy a shout out but I understand if you don’t want to. Sorry for asking
the poster paint is lovely! and i love your finished piece! i believe studio ghibli utilizes holbein watercolors. there is even a really beautiful palette of them made especially for the studio ghibli museum in japan. the color guide, which has colors specifically chosen by Hayao Miyazaki, is available online if you want to recreate it!
Hey Rae it looks like the spring goes on top of the lid of the brush rinser and you have it on the bottom of the lid. It's supposed to provide tension to keep the plug in place, but instead it's pulling it out of position. I think you might have more success if you can find a way to switch which side it's on.
Hey Rae! Botanist here! Get those little sage plants under lights(about 2" above the sprouts, or in a *very* sunny window) as soon as you can. The stems will eventually get so long the sprouts will fall over and die.
as a person who has many versions of the erasers with the roley things I can tell you they only work the 1st like 10-15 times and then they stop picking up. Like they run out of stick Also they're the kind of erasers that are really hard to actually clean so like...after a few uses you are just smudging everywhere Hella cute....but only functional to a point
Hi Rae! I know I may be a little bit late but regarding the brush rinser I have the same issue as you. I tried to reassemble mine the 2nd time around and IT FINALLY WORKED! 1:23 While you assemble the pieces, you gotta make sure that the rubber is in the right position and hold/press it down in its placement as you lock the screw. I did the same thing as you there in the video without supporting it with my thumb so that's why the plug had some tiny gaps cuz it wasn't pressed down tightly. That was the major issue that I had and the second one is that the spring must be outside, enclosing the push button. Hope this one helps and can save the cutie brush rinser!❤
I’m not sure if you’ll ever truly understand how much of a service you do for artists who can’t afford to buy something that is not as advertised by actually testing them out and giving honest opinions. Thank you so much for your contributions, people appreciate this so crazy much.
We love watching this channel because there's so much emphasis on enjoying the process of making art, and not just the finished product! One of our Product Information team members thinks it would be easier to fill those syringes with a palette knife, pulling out the plunger and using the open top, like empty paint tubes are filled. The pencils with the seed capsule are a fun novelty, but those erasers are just about perfect!
Hey, nice to see you here too, Blick! I get so many of my supplies from you. You have such a great selection and such reasonable prices compared to so many other sources!
The end of the syringe needs to be completely submerged into the liquid to suck it up. The paint can't be sucked up from a small collapsed blob squirted out on a flat surface. If you insert the syringe upright directly into a jar /bottle of paint, with the nozzle covered by the liquid, you will be able to fill the syringe with just one attempt. 😊
if the paints are actually gouache the issue you had with the water is super common! in gouache painting tip videos they often warn against both that and the cracking of you layer it too thickly. The fact that it lifts or changes with water helps with blending once you get more practice :)
The seed pencils are actually making a makeup line as well! I believe they're making lip/eye pencils that have seeds at the end as well, so that's cool!
On the brush rinser, the spring needs to be on the top of the lid not the underneath. There is no tension being applied to the button with the spring on the underneath of the lid. Maybe this will help?
Your painting is so pretty! I've been really inspired by cherry blossoms too I hope they start blooming soon. Those paints look like they behave pretty much just like regular high quality gouache, it really is all about the water control for sure, and I feel like people that start their gouache journey with acryla gouache could be at risk of a lot of frustration using traditional gouache. XD In my experience you want to add only just enough water to get the paint flowing, no more, unless you're doing thin watercolor-like layers.
@SuperRaeDizzle if you take a look at your own thumbnail you clearly see that yours missing the spring on the "buttonshaft". Don't know if you have it, but if you do or put another spring there, your paintcleaner should have a better chance at working. 👍🏻😊 Thx 4 a lovely vid as always
Hi Rae I love your videos and always look forward to them! Just wanted to say there is a cheaper high quality poster paint called Camlin. Comes with way more colors for the price as well. The best part of poster paint is you can layer colored pencils on top of them too beautifully. Also I don't seem to have any cracking or paper swelling.
The trick to stopping cracking and the colours mixing when layering is to start with thinner layers and gradually make them thicker. Your first layer needs to be a thin watery wash and your final layer for details can be straight out of the tube. I hope that helps.❤
@@rocki_bb the issue with medium is that it can activate the paint underneath just as easily as water so unfortunately you may end up with a smear across your painting when adding it. Acrylic qouache is a great alternative because it has the matte appearance of gouache but can’t be moved once it has dried down.
2:28 THAT'S the pencils that we have for the kids in the aquarium! When you're done with the pencil, you do stick it in the dirt, green tip in the dirt, and it'll grow whatever the seeds included are. The ones we are are Sunflowers and Forget-Me-Nots. I wish I could find these pencils in the stores myself, because they look like they'd make a nice Mother's Day gift for my mom!
The syringes would probably work with the model paints that come in eyedroppers. The ones from Miniatures. The question is, would they get that much use? The consistency is right because I have occasionally had a spill and had to suck them back up into the eye dropper. It would probably work okay with the syringe. But how often does that happen?
Yeah poster color is not like guache. It is more like water color but with thicker and more pigmented granules. So they sit on the top of the paper instead of seeeping inside it. Which is also why they are easier to reactivate. Please dont make the mistake of thinking it is anything like watercolor either, apart from the water control. This thing is its own animal.
It's so nice to able to watch your content knowing that you can do this kind of stuff, like you've grown so much as a content creator and artist it's insane.
One tip to keep your brush water less muddy is to wipe the brush off before rinsing it. It'll help the brush to last longer by not having to scrub as much crust off. I love the idea of the brush cleaner but it could use some shark tank improvements. Ive had some of the pencils a lot cheaper on Amazon from another brand
Hi - I’m PD, from the UK. I bought the very over priced Brush Rinser from ETSY. It had the same problem, as far as the assembly and drain issues. After hours (off and on) of trying it and re-assembly and adjustment I finally got it to work and it was great, however, the refilling process brings the same problems back…NOT worth the money at all…just use a few clean jars of water as usual and end the needless frustration!..
Of all her videos, this was the first one where rae didn't have a cute phone case 😭 Loved the artwork btw, please use these paints for another video too! I adore them 💕
There's a particular way of using syringe it's the same as drawing blood from veins. If you know anyone from the medical field they can show you how to use them. They'll definitely work.🙂
As someone who works in the medical field…that heavy body acrylic paint is just too thick. If sure you could get it in there if you really wanted to but it would take a ton of fuss. It’d be worse than trying to draw up coagulated blood.
As someone who worked in hospitals as a Phlebotomist (blood drawer) for over a decade, I have no idea what you’re talking about a “particular way of using the syringe.” The paint was just way too thick to suck up.
@@Lexicoley1826 I am talking exactly about the paint being too thick and she also didn't use the syringe correctly. My father's a pathologist and I have seen him use syringe many times that's why I said if she could learn how to use the syringe correctly that hack might work.
Poster colours are something that i used to use when i was a kid , and yes these are some annoying facts about poster , but they never disappoint with pigment and layering . It’s annoying to catch the colours , but poster colours r absolutely amazing for vibrant artworks and thus who can beat the vibrance and saturation of Ghibli Studio
Was I the only one who thought poster colours are really common? For beginners working with poster colours is hard because you need to add water in it to have the perfect consistency but as you keep practicing with it, you're gonna fall in love with em
You’re ain’t alone here. Every stationary stores like Expressions in the Philippines always stacked up poster colors. I have at least three to five of them.
about those poster paints. if theyre being used in film its probably painted on cel transparencies. also there is something called cel paint, which is used by traditional cartoon companies like hana barbera. vry hard to find tho.
Can we just appreciate how Rae always uploads amazing videos for us? She is the whole reason I started doing art. Now I'm taking a GCSE for it! So thankyou rae!
When I was in primary school those pencils with seed caps were gifted to us as advertised gifts at school sponsored sport events. I loved them as a kid.
studio ghibli might still use that paint for concept art and promotional work but there films have been animated digitally sinds 1999, princes mononoke was there last movie to be animated traditionally.
The name of those paints are definitely…. Suspicious to say out loud BUT they look incredible!! Giving me posca vibes but In paint form, which is exactly what I’ve been dreaming of!!
No doubt this has been said already, but traditional gouache is actually opaque watercolours, not acrylic/watercolour. The acrylic gouache you can purchase is just acrylic paint, using fillers and pigments to make the paint opaque, thus poster paint in reality. But these poster paints seem to be more closely related to proper gouache, and to prevent the cracking is to add more water/gum to it. Please don’t think this is criticism, it’s not. Just some information. Love your videos and gentle hugs
I get what you said about being proud of a plant you manage to grow. I´m, overall, an animal person. However, I´ve tried MANY times to care for plants and it´s never happened...until I got a Suculenta. And not only did it survived but I tried planting another one from it and it GREW! I was planning of giving it away but the fact that it was the first plant that I manage to grow by myself makes it impossible.
I would love to see your update with the Japanese paints and to see the art you create. You are really remarkable. Could you review some kits that are supposed to be like DIY drawing/painting lessons with some guidance?
I never bought Mr. Pen erasers but I've bought a lot of their products from mechanical pencils to jewelry tools and everything I buy from them are phenomenal so I knew those erasers were gonna work. It's just more unnecessary work when I can just use tape, a mount roller, or hand and store them directly in the trash.
almost all of these art supplies are soo common here in my country! i've been using poster colors and those seed pencils (different brand but the same concept) since i was a kid! i cant be the only one who thought that they were pretty common
I kind of find it funny that people don't know what gouache is. I did grow up using gouache and I think I never did use acrylic paint until some years ago because is wasn't common for regular people to use it. At school all we had was gouache. The liquid type of the solid type that is like watercolor (to be sincere, I never had solid watercolor in my life and only had liquid watercolor in high school for a project). Gouache here (I live in Brazil) is something cheap that you just go to any "dollar store" and buy it, that's how popular it is/was (not sure now because the last time I was in school was back in 2002). It is kind like when you talk about Crayola crayons, to me they look bad too but I grew up using Faber Castell crayons that don't really look like the Crayola ones when used. They still can't be layered like pencils but they give a pretty good background color that don't require much from my hand or so much time like when you need to use pencils. Or maybe it is just me lol.
I had the sprout pencils growing up they used to be like $1 for a box of 10 now that they are viral they raised the prices and they no longer sell in india
Aaahhh I love these videos, always enlightens me of art supplies I’ve never heard of! The spout pencil is game changer, I can finally be a productive plant mom🥹🌱
The syringe could possibly come in handy if you had a paint tube that was leaky or at risk of the contents drying out. Empty the paint into the syringe and keep it capped so you can just squeeze out what you need without risk of waste maybe
acrylic paint freezes!! if you put it in on a disposable plate in the freezer it will freeze, when you’re ready to use it you take it out and it melts, making you able to use it!
I got my brush washer at Temu - less than 5 bucks. I had to adjust the stopper from under the lid, but it’s been great and I’ve used it for over a year. I even bought a second one as a back up, just in case. Love it!
I know this may be a bit forward but I just wanted to share that I absolutely love your videos!! I enjoy being inspired by you as well as watching something so wholesome when I start to feel my anxiety creeping up on me. Thank you
I am shocked those erasers that cleans after itself is a rare thing for you to see cause these are like in every single store where I live, it’s like a few cents
You can add a bit of hunt glue, just a tiny bit to the plug, let it dry and put it together again, It could fill the air gab and still have it work when you press the switch. :)
I love my brush cleaner ($3.27 thru Temu). No leaking. I found adjusting the screw made a difference between not emptying and emptying when pushing the button. I couldn't tell if you tried that?🤔 Yours might have been defective😊 the tricky thing for me is the bottle placement, and it is definitely an over the sink operation😂
I have an art hack that you may or may not have covered on your channel for transferring an image on a paper to another paper super easily. Basically get your image you want to transfer and shade the back of it in pencil then place your image on to the paper you want to transfer to and trace over the lines and it will transfer perfectly. Hope this helps😀
I used poster paints as a kid a lot. And they were nothing like guash. Maybe poster paints in my country were just bad, but they acted exactly like the ones you have. So maybe it's just different paint, not comparable with guash. I can also still remember the smell...
My dear, i love you, but gouache is watercolor whose pigments have been milled diferently as watercolor is milled much more finer to produce transparency. Gouache as more pigment, is milled chunkier and as often chalk added to it to improve opacity. Gouache is basically a very thick and dense watercolor. Acrylic as a "plastic/glue" binder to it so that it is permanent once dry, oil hardens and also gets permanent. Watercolor and gouache are water soluble even when dry. Then there is gouache acrylics, that is gouache with added polymer so that it looks like gouache and dries more permanent like acrylics. Now the diference between chalk paint and gouache acrylics...... i would guess it as some plaster to chalk paint just like gesso, so that it sticks to more surfaces, but that would be a guess.
Just so everybody knows the price on Amazon for syringes is insane. I’m a rancher. I have all the animals which comes with a lot of medicines and stuff. I always have syringes around you could dream of and if you go to Tractor Supply or Feed store I don’t know where you live, but you will pay a fraction of the price.
If you still have the brush washer you might use a pop dot a little bigger than the part that is supposed to keep the water in the wash basin. Or make a new seal cover over it with hot glue. I saw this brush washer and wanted to get it for each of my daughters. They do calligraphy and illumination scrolls.
I think the concept for the plant pencils is that a tree is cut for the pencil but because of the seeds the tree is being replanted and saving our plant
About poster paints, they're used for animation as they're inexpensive, very pigmented and can use little paint to do a lot, but because of this they're not lightfast, so it's good to take that in consideration!

Poster colours are something that i used to use when i was a kid , and yes these are some annoying facts about poster , but they never disappoint with pigment and layering . It’s annoying to catch the colours , but poster colours r absolutely amazing for vibrant artworks and thus who can beat the vibrance and saturation of Ghibli Studio
Was I the only one who thought poster colours are really common? For beginners working with poster colours is hard because you need to add water in it to have the perfect consistency but as you keep practicing with it, you're gonna fall in love with em
Ikr, ig gouache is the yt equivalent of poster paints.
@@aves6739 guess so too
You’re ain’t alone here. Every stationary stores like Expressions in the Philippines always stacked up poster colors. I have at least three to five of them.
I just want to watch videos of you painting. That was so lovely and I wanted it to keep going :)
The art of poster painting, I have used poster paint way back in the 80´s . My mum taught me.
I LOVE POSTER COLORS TOO!
The brand Colleen i think? Makes really good poster colors
These erasers with cleaning side feels like something the cool 7 year olds would have 😅
i think for the syringe one they used one with a wider/larger tip. maybe that's why it worked better
about those poster paints. if theyre being used in film its probably painted on cel transparencies. also there is something called cel paint, which is used by traditional cartoon companies like hana barbera. vry hard to find tho.
Those erasers look so cool! I might wanna get some.
Can we just appreciate how Rae always uploads amazing videos for us? She is the whole reason I started doing art. Now I'm taking a GCSE for it! So thankyou rae!
We can’t appreciate
No
We appreciate this channel fro truly valuing creativity and artistry altogether. More blessings to everyone.
The erasers were really very adorable!
When I was in primary school those pencils with seed caps were gifted to us as advertised gifts at school sponsored sport events. I loved them as a kid.
That painting was. MMMM! sooo studio ghibli 👌
I like the self cleaning erasers.
studio ghibli might still use that paint for concept art and promotional work but there films have been animated digitally sinds 1999, princes mononoke was there last movie to be animated traditionally.
Thank you Rae :) you're a star-tist. Such a quality creator and human. Love you dude
The name of those paints are definitely…. Suspicious to say out loud BUT they look incredible!! Giving me posca vibes but In paint form, which is exactly what I’ve been dreaming of!!
Those erasers+cleaners will be on my wishlist to remind me to buy them as stocking stuffers, good stuff
No doubt this has been said already, but traditional gouache is actually opaque watercolours, not acrylic/watercolour. The acrylic gouache you can purchase is just acrylic paint, using fillers and pigments to make the paint opaque, thus poster paint in reality. But these poster paints seem to be more closely related to proper gouache, and to prevent the cracking is to add more water/gum to it. Please don’t think this is criticism, it’s not. Just some information. Love your videos and gentle hugs
I get what you said about being proud of a plant you manage to grow.
I´m, overall, an animal person. However, I´ve tried MANY times to care for plants and it´s never happened...until I got a Suculenta. And not only did it survived but I tried planting another one from it and it GREW! I was planning of giving it away but the fact that it was the first plant that I manage to grow by myself makes it impossible.
I would love to see your update with the Japanese paints and to see the art you create. You are really remarkable. Could you review some kits that are supposed to be like DIY drawing/painting lessons with some guidance?
I never bought Mr. Pen erasers but I've bought a lot of their products from mechanical pencils to jewelry tools and everything I buy from them are phenomenal so I knew those erasers were gonna work. It's just more unnecessary work when I can just use tape, a mount roller, or hand and store them directly in the trash.
almost all of these art supplies are soo common here in my country! i've been using poster colors and those seed pencils (different brand but the same concept) since i was a kid! i cant be the only one who thought that they were pretty common
I seriously thought this was re-uploaded then I realised it’s just 5am and I’m still awake
the ghibli paints!! im in love i could never use them they look so good
The Nicker postercolor,I remember that there is plenty of that in national bookstore.However I can't afford it actually.
I kind of find it funny that people don't know what gouache is. I did grow up using gouache and I think I never did use acrylic paint until some years ago because is wasn't common for regular people to use it. At school all we had was gouache. The liquid type of the solid type that is like watercolor (to be sincere, I never had solid watercolor in my life and only had liquid watercolor in high school for a project). Gouache here (I live in Brazil) is something cheap that you just go to any "dollar store" and buy it, that's how popular it is/was (not sure now because the last time I was in school was back in 2002).
It is kind like when you talk about Crayola crayons, to me they look bad too but I grew up using Faber Castell crayons that don't really look like the Crayola ones when used. They still can't be layered like pencils but they give a pretty good background color that don't require much from my hand or so much time like when you need to use pencils. Or maybe it is just me lol.
I had the sprout pencils growing up they used to be like $1 for a box of 10 now that they are viral they raised the prices and they no longer sell in india
Aaahhh I love these videos, always enlightens me of art supplies I’ve never heard of! The spout pencil is game changer, I can finally be a productive plant mom🥹🌱
4:05 When I was at school I actually had one of these as a gift
those plant pencils, my aunt actually got me one like that BUT the pencils were made of paper! its so cool!!!!!
The syringe could possibly come in handy if you had a paint tube that was leaky or at risk of the contents drying out. Empty the paint into the syringe and keep it capped so you can just squeeze out what you need without risk of waste maybe
acrylic paint freezes!! if you put it in on a disposable plate in the freezer it will freeze, when you’re ready to use it you take it out and it melts, making you able to use it!
Rae: everyone uses pencils!
*me who stubbornly switched to only pens about 10 years ago* not everyone
I got my brush washer at Temu - less than 5 bucks. I had to adjust the stopper from under the lid, but it’s been great and I’ve used it for over a year. I even bought a second one as a back up, just in case. Love it!
I know this may be a bit forward but I just wanted to share that I absolutely love your videos!! I enjoy being inspired by you as well as watching something so wholesome when I start to feel my anxiety creeping up on me. Thank you
Ooh, I got a few of those erasers for the kiddos I work with before! They’re so cute and functional, they’re an awesome product.
Pencils with seeds makes for a cool post apocalyptic item, just an artist studio full of plants taking over
I bought the brush cleaner for like £5 on Temu & had the exact same issue!
I am shocked those erasers that cleans after itself is a rare thing for you to see cause these are like in every single store where I live, it’s like a few cents
You never have to rush urself to upload. I love your content and have become a better artist due to binge watching your vids. Thank u so much.
Her art is so awesome!
Awe thank you!
You can add a bit of hunt glue, just a tiny bit to the plug, let it dry and put it together again, It could fill the air gab and still have it work when you press the switch. :)
I love my brush cleaner ($3.27 thru Temu). No leaking. I found adjusting the screw made a difference between not emptying and emptying when pushing the button. I couldn't tell if you tried that?🤔 Yours might have been defective😊 the tricky thing for me is the bottle placement, and it is definitely an over the sink operation😂
I love my brush rinser. The flipping box it came in was great too.
I knew Rae would tested the pencils that can grow a plant...
You're my favourite TH-camr 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I LOVE studio giblli
I have an art hack that you may or may not have covered on your channel for transferring an image on a paper to another paper super easily.
Basically get your image you want to transfer and shade the back of it in pencil then place your image on to the paper you want to transfer to and trace over the lines and it will transfer perfectly.
Hope this helps😀
I used poster paints as a kid a lot. And they were nothing like guash. Maybe poster paints in my country were just bad, but they acted exactly like the ones you have. So maybe it's just different paint, not comparable with guash. I can also still remember the smell...
My dear, i love you, but gouache is watercolor whose pigments have been milled diferently as watercolor is milled much more finer to produce transparency. Gouache as more pigment, is milled chunkier and as often chalk added to it to improve opacity. Gouache is basically a very thick and dense watercolor. Acrylic as a "plastic/glue" binder to it so that it is permanent once dry, oil hardens and also gets permanent. Watercolor and gouache are water soluble even when dry. Then there is gouache acrylics, that is gouache with added polymer so that it looks like gouache and dries more permanent like acrylics. Now the diference between chalk paint and gouache acrylics...... i would guess it as some plaster to chalk paint just like gesso, so that it sticks to more surfaces, but that would be a guess.
I can't say I'm surprised that paint used by Studio Ghibli looks incredible, but wow. Your painting looks gorgeous.
STOP AS SOON AS THE VIDEO SAID STUDIO GHIBLI I GOT AN ADD FOR LIVE ACTION STUDIO GHIBLI FILMS IM DYING 😂😂😂
Just so everybody knows the price on Amazon for syringes is insane. I’m a rancher. I have all the animals which comes with a lot of medicines and stuff. I always have syringes around you could dream of and if you go to Tractor Supply or Feed store I don’t know where you live, but you will pay a fraction of the price.
If you still have the brush washer you might use a pop dot a little bigger than the part that is supposed to keep the water in the wash basin. Or make a new seal cover over it with hot glue. I saw this brush washer and wanted to get it for each of my daughters. They do calligraphy and illumination scrolls.
I love watching Raes videos while drawing its so calming
I think the concept for the plant pencils is that a tree is cut for the pencil but because of the seeds the tree is being replanted and saving our plant
