I create fun and easy step-by-step acrylic painting tutorials and story times for beginner artists or anyone looking to let loose and just have fun with acrylic paint! I believe painting is for everyone-and the more you practice, the more you grow your creativity! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
The paints were actually quite vibrant for being so transparent, I like how it turned out.
right!? I was pretty impressed by that!
I actually like the Dollar Tree painting better. The opacity gives it more of a fairytale look. The other one is somewhat flatter.
That’s something I didn’t even consider :) good point!
1st...this was so enjoyable! 2nd...I never graduated from "paint by numbers."
3rd...So nice to know that starting at Dollar Store & Job Lot were worth a go. (I have invested in "cheap" but better than Dollar Store paints)
I learned guitar on a Sears & Roebuck but now own a Fender. When I learned what I could the sound was no longer pleasing/rewarding. This has been my experience with painting.
Thanks so much for the entertaining & informative video. I shall return!
aw thank you for the kind words. And yes, it is nice to know you don't have to break the bank in order to paint and have some fun with acrylics :)
But transparent acrylics can have some cool effects too!! Dollar store..not bad..and perfect for artsy kids to get started.
oh yes absolutely! :)
I like these comparison art supply videos very much! You did a great job filming and editing
Thank you so much! I'm glad this was a helpful comparison :)
Loved your video. Wouldn't know what to do without Dollar Store during these hard times. Thanks for answering a question I"m sure a lot of us newbie painters had.
Right!? Dollar stores have been a saving grace for us creatives. I’m glad this was helpful! :)
I like the background with the liquitex paintsmore but like the unicorn of the dollar store paints more.
I agree!
The best thing about getting in the habit of dollar store materials, is that you get easily impressed by even the slightest bit better quality materials. It’s like a baseball player putting a heavy weighted donut on their bat, so when they take it off, their bat feels much lighter and more controllable than they would feel without using the heavy weighted donut
That’s a great point- especially on learning patience :)
I must say I first bought paint at the dollar tree and them Michael’s well I will tell you that I enjoyed working with the dollar tree painting supplies 🌻💕👏
I’m glad you found something that works for you :)
I loved the dollar tree unicorn painting much better. It came out beautiful!!!
It really came out great with the colors :)
You seem so pleasant. Fun watching you do what you love.
Aw thanks!
One thing I find with dollar store paints is that quality varies a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer and from color to color. At my Canadian dollar stores, I can get DecoArt and Acrylique brand paints. They're both surprisingly not horrible. I find that the colors that suffer the most are the fluorescent ones. They have zero opacity, so I have to put a layer of gesso first before applying them over any other color.
That is an excellent point and I would agree with the fluorescent paint colors. Lots of work to get those to show up well!
Not horrible does not seem to be a great evaluation...😂😂
I'm just now gonna try their paint to save money. I'm glad I ran across your video. Very anxious to start. You do a great job with videotaping but I must admit that I love this 2nd painting better as having it more colorful. Thanks so much!
Ah very interesting 😀 yeah I think this is a decent start if you’re not sure about acrylic paint and want to give it a try.
For being very transparent likw they are they are actually a very vibrant colors which surprised me. Awsome job on the painting
Right!? Very vibrant indeed :)
Awesome energy I love it.
Hehe Aw thanks so much :)
Actually, I like the dollar store version better. But both are nice
Aww it's really so good. Waiting for the next one. Love from India. ❤❤❤
aw thank you so much!!! And thank you so much for watching :)
!!! Greetings from Montréal, Québec, Canada !!! I am 62 yrs. old, a beginner at painting (Not even strated to paint yet, but soon.) I have bought that kind of paint (in a similar store here called 'Dollorama') for me to practice with and make me better at 'Mixing' colors and doing Trials and errors. looking forward to seeing your past videos and follow your next adventures !!! Have a great rest of week and weeke, STAY HEALTHY !!! Cheers !!!
Ca va!! Glad to hear you are starting on your artistic journey :) remember to keep every step a fun one filled with positivity. You’ll learn so much 👏🏻
Very good work dear friend 💖👍

Great information thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Your hilarious 😂
Muchmuch luv to you💖
Muy bonito hiper HI Chile 🇨🇱
I bought some dollar tree paint some weeks ago & added a little bit of all purpose flower, it makes the paint less watery & a bit thicker
Ps thank you for this video, I love the content
that's a great hack! :)
The crafters square white paint reacts as if I am mixing latex and enamel. White works best by itself in this brand. It skins up if mixing colors with this paint and other paints.
Ahh that’s very good to know!
I bet the dt paint could be a great base for watercolors. Lean into the thinness of the paint
Oh interesting! It might make for a good base!
Apple Barrel from walmart is only 50 cent a piece and much better paint. I use it all the time as many crafters do.
Agreed! :)
The best acrylic paint is Duncan Opaque Stain.
Second is CeramCoat acrylics. These are opaque, also called solid colors.
Nice!
Hey may you know since you are so talented, what's the best paint to put on porcelain tile? Thanks, love your videos.
Hi! Hmm, perhaps enamel paint might be best for that :)
i’m currently looking into painting a vinyl on a budget, should i use these acrylics or look for more for pricier brands ?? i love how these looked but idk how they’ll work on vinyl primer
Hmm, I don’t have experience painting on vinyl, but my guess would be to go for the better brands like Liquitex or Golden. Especially if you want your painting to last you a very long time :)
I used them when I started but moved on to other products.
Yup, glad this worked for you at the beginning of your art journey :)
Even liquitex is cheap quality to me...I use Golden acrylic paints..good price and quality..for the price some of the best out there.
Golden is pretty amazing, I have to say :) But, we each work with what we like and respond to best!
😁 Hi Amanda iam 💪 now my back is better. Ready. To paint tomorrow.. From mandy in Dorset.. Love all your work.. And its Nearly Halloween 🦇 👻 🕸️
I am so glad to hear you're doing much better! :) Get pumped for Halloween, Queen Bee!
Can I use these to paint white air forces?
hmm, personally, I would not. I would stick to the more reputable paint brands that have better pigments and color permanence
Where can I find instructions for the unicorn painting pls if available thank you
I have the entire tutorial and stencils available in my Etsy shop: thebuzzedartist.etsy.com/listing/1583461532
i did the doughnut paintig .. not done the unicorn yet got to try a new one ...frist one was bad
All attempts are learning journeys in your painting experience. Take it one step at a time, queen bee! You got this 👏🏻
Thanks Amanda 🐦🌺
I paint and carve my own fishing lures,walking sticks and everything else that you can imagine. I use an airbrush often and these paints work great with distilled water and 90% alcohol.Polycrylic mixed into these paints will give you AMAZING results.
Hey that’s really cool! :)
@@TheBuzzedArtist Bad thing is that Minwax Polycrylic is $38 for 1 quart here in SW Pennsylvania. Good thing is that the small craft paints only need about 2or3 tablespoons mixed into the bottle and wow what a difference. Take care
Pro tip for yall. If you nee to cover a dark color with a lighter one. Start with a misty grey base coat first and then start with building you're color slowly with white/desired color ratio slowly through your coats. So let's do yellow for an example. After got you base coat you want to do a pale yellow on your next coat and with each coat lower your white ratio and raise your yellow ratio until you get the desired opacity.
That is a great tip!!! Thank you 😊
Np! I paint shoes for a living and it has the same problem
hey, welcome back how is your baby girl. I don't have cheap paintbrushes.
Thanks! baby girl is awesome and growing like a weed :) Her personality is totally shining through and I love it
It’s not terrible.
very true! :D
They did have these items but now nothing stocked
Yeah DT tends to do that or takes a while to restock
Dollar tree one looks better imo.
Haha good to know :)
Dollar tree paints are like craft smart paints from Michael's. They're horrible.
Come on. What quality are you going to get at the dollar tree?
Based on the comparisons of more expensive paint counterparts, I would say the quality isn’t as bad as I thought. I know lots of people are on budgets when learning to paint and making a $4 investment in paint and brushes sounds less daunting than a $35 one.
