Do DollarTree art supplies actually work? 🤔 #shorts #shorts30

We think it's important to note also that, while this impressively skilled artist was able to achieve good results, people new to art can really struggle with economy-grade supplies. We bet that wasn't cheap watercolor paper, either- the paper makes a huge difference! Considering the wealth of good options for paints and brushes that fit even the most modest budget, we would urge anyone to go to the art supply store, ask them what's available for what you want to spend. The artists on our team love a challenge, and we sincerely want you to have the right supplies for your work!

Her:These aren’t horrible.

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.

the brush is literally so bad it makes me cry 😭😭

Expensive art supplies are an investment though and they make your life sooo much easier. Even the professional student grade is a great start

I don’t know why people have drama with your art supplies. You can use whatever you want, You don’t have to listen to other people do what you want❤️💪

this is so true, people tell me I'm wasting money by buying expensive art supplies but at least the expensive ones are worthy!

I bought it for my 3 year old granddaughter because she loves to paint. They are great for her masterpieces!

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 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!

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

[distortedpsychic]

how do you manage to write with brushes SO WELL?
it's

[honglian]

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

y’all paint brushes are like $3 at hobby lobby for like a 20 pack including a variety of diff ones and blending tools idk what they’re called-

[shruu]

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.

[mosunnnn]

you know damn well DOLLAR TREE SUPPLIES aren’t the only cheap ones

[ttaywna]

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 🤗

[what-a-disaster]

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.

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!

Seeing this dollar tree supplies and the paint brush that was included brought back so many memories from my childhood 😂
