i've been needing to make this video for YEARS now. i cut out a lot of filler and went straight to the point. feel free to skip around, just use the links or even just save this in a playlist so you can always come back when you need it. Enjoy!!!!

not only are there people who literally just don't know what to get for an artist (which as an artist myself i understand-- there's too much options), but there's people that genuinely don't have an insane amount of money to spend on gifts especially in more recent times. and $20 is such a good price point for gifts that aren't too expensive but not cheap either. i'm so happy this video was made. thanks so much rae, you rock !

For those who don’t like drawing in a sketchbook all the time, something that has helped me out is buying a pack of cardstock paper. Not only is it good for holding my colored pencils and markers, but you can buy some at staples in different sizes, high quality, and I use it when making prints

My favorite paints of all time are the arteza and soho artist acrylic paints. They’re cheap, last a while, and marketed at a good price

Electric erasers are awesome. Literally. It has helped me bring out highlights and fix small mistakes in my colored pencils countless times

1) Using a cake board as a palette (cover it up with some plastic wrap if it is too rough).
2) Using old, dried, ready to throw out brushes for various textures.
3) Buying all my art supplies from a wholesale market rather than a fancy art shop. (I have the availability in my country, sorry if you do not)
4) Buying cheap and expensive canvases and using the cheap ones to practice.
5) Buy a big sheet of some cheap canvas and have frames to attach it on for practice only.
6) Buy cheap watercolour pencils from any brand and whenever you want a precise highlight or shadow on your painting, wet the pencil itself and use it. The pigment and precision is amazing.
I know these aren't art supplies but its just something I find hepful in my process.

I'm mainly a watercolour painter and my absolute love is the Kuratake gansai tambi paint. It's a Japanese paint so takes a while to get to you outside of Japan but is very worth it.

However if you are vegan definitely not for you, unlike other watercolours from what I know most of the gansai paints are made with animals. The way they are made makes them thicker but not like gouache.

They're more expensive but for me and my art it is 10000% (my profile picture was mainly done with these paints if you are wondering :)

[twigbranch]

my favourite art supply is a ballpoint pen specifically the ones that have four colours they’re so good

[KRPlourde]

We used gouache in my collage color theory class and my professor had the easiest description of it: it's an opaque watercolor

Rae, you have been a huge impact in my life. I just re-discovered your channel and I realize how much of an example your art has been throughout
my art journey. I’m currently going to a special art school that is middle through high school. You will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤

I used to use typical acrylics until I discovered HOUSE PAINT! Yes, Sherwin Williams interior house paint! You can get any color in a very large sample for 5$ - 6$, but all you really need is the primary colors. Just make sure you get base C so you get pretty much straight pigment.

[DJAGC]

For the ones that love pencil colors I highly recommend Faber Castell Super Soft series. I'm Latina, so I'm not pretty sure if they are available in other countries, but they're just a very good option when Prismacolor are too expensive. I've heard Arteza pencil colors are really good too and I think they are easy to get in the USA.

[DaSpacePIG]

You're the most talented artist on youtube that I know. You're so goddamn unique and the way your review- RAEview I mean- is just so absolutely informative yet short and simple! Keep up the great work rae c:

[BlackEmberShadow]

I always recommend using a water color pencil to sketch for paintings so that while your painting the sketch disappears and blends in.

It’s a little pricey but holbein acryla gouache is amazing, it’s smooth and dries matte. Since it’s acrylic based it won’t be reactive if you go back in when it’s dry to add details, which is nice.

For doing base sketches prismacolor col-erase was a game changer for me. It was something a favorite artist listed as a staple supply when I was in my late teens and I've been using it ever since. Always use the light blue or green. You can put down twenty layers of lines with that light blue and it erases clean every time. Love it.

For acrylics, using liquitex basics for the first time after always using sets of student grade tiny tubes by unknown brands, or using craft acrylics... absolute revelation. They're like butter. So creamy and smooth and wonderful.

My go to art pens are actually faber castel pitt pens. Alcohol markers I always bought Promarkers (I guess they're Winsor and Newton now). Great marker at an insanely low price. (At the time) 0.99 or 1.99 a marker to Copic's (again, at the time) 3.99 or 4.99.

I bought myself a glass dip pen a couple years ago, it's so sparkle-y and beautiful! It's not the most precise point but functional, and well under $20.
I also like little travel sets of watercolors and little sketchbooks. When I was a student I wanted the FULL SET of anything, and hated pocket-sized sketchbooks, but now that I am older and have no time to lay out paints, I like these little sets that can fit in my purse or desk.

[mothie-art]

When it comes to watercolour I do use windsor and newton and love it, but another brand I love even more are the white nights, they feel even more vibrant and pigmented and i think they were even a bit cheaper and also come in nice cases with an inbuilt pallet :D

[yessi]

The staedler lumograph graphite pencils are the BEST pencils I've used to draw realistic portraits... And they are only $12 for 12 pencils. ❤️

[kjmysterium]

I work with watercolor mainly, and I absolutely fell in love with Reeves watercolor. I was introduced to them in high school and still use them to this day. They're decently priced, perfect for every artist beginner or advanced, and super pigmented.

[lynneexphase]

As someone who does cartoons finding a good graphite set is hard for me because I use it for non realism reasons. I use the Prismacolor graphite drawing set. The easers are not the best but the light weight turquoise value pencils are great for light construction and the wood less pencils are too die for. Honestly my favorite type of pencil to work with!

[wendyslowski]

Rae did a video a while back testing Amazon basic art supplies and found them to be good quality. I purchased her recommendations (all were under $20) and loved them! Her video is on her other channel. Thanks for doing this Rae!

[rebeccamartin]

Love my Derwent Intense pencils for watercolor that's not watercolor. Love the fact that they can be bought individually also.
