  • Many apologies to The Works, but the paint is so different now. It will still be a good mixing white translucent medium, however it really took me a long time to accept that the paint was different LOL
    I literally got rid of all my other paint thinking they were the problem. I really wish I would have noticed it was my mixing base. I feel so silly, however at least I discovered this at the start of the new year
    Wishing you a happy Jamuary :) and I'll be uploading every other day this month!
    All the Best,

    The Works changed all of their art supplies a few months ago & it seems the quality of every single one has decreased 😭 Its such a shame after relying on them for over a decade. Their A5 sketchbooks had always meant so much to me 🧡

    I am a very amateur watercolor painter, but the same exact thing happened to me once. I thought I had grabbed a piece of Arches paper...I had NOT. Took me most of the painting to realize that I was not the worst painter in the world and had not forgotten everything I once knew...I just had grabbed paper I hate!

    Usually, when a brand changes something, they'll label it very clearly "new and improved formula" or something... The fact that they didn't is diirty.

  • @fatdandelions
    @fatdandelions 9 місяців тому +1

    You should complain the company by changing the formula is cheapening out on the ingredients and adding the gloss is making it harder on best results finishing artwork. The former formula was the best. They should stick with that.

    Does anyone else like the video towards the beginning and then by the end you try to hit the like button again only to accidentally unlike the video? 😅 and have to like it a third time...or is that just me.
    ...I've abandoned a painting for this exact reason!! Needed too many layers. I never knew that a translucent white mixed in would affect the painting so much. So glad you made a video on this, maybe there's still hope for my painting.

    It feels like every brand of everything is changing formulas/ingredients without saying so in the hopes of higher profits figuring people won't notice, will notice but bother changing, or wont be able to afford trying other brands. That in top of increased pricing and many brands shrinkflation I have an ever growing list of things I wish Id gotten a surplous supply of a few years back.

    It's so disappointing when companies make big changes and don't think to tell their consumer base about it as if it wouldn't affect them 😭 Likely because they're cutting corners and were just hoping people wouldn't notice ..

    I hate when companies change formulas to products you've used for years. If they want to "improve" it, then make a "new and improved" version but leave the original alone and let the consumer make the choice of what to use. I will literally stop using a brand completely if they change something I've liked and been using for years. I like consistency and I'm a creature of habit. Years ago, I mean years and years, I think late 90s there was a paint brand I loved and used. It was inexpensive. It was thick and typically covered what I needed in one pass. But then I think it was early 2000's they changed and the paint was thin and I think if I recall correctly, one small tube which I typically could use for maybe 5-6 paintings (obviously depending on what the subject was), but after the change, it took the whole tube to get the coverage I needed. (I was lucky enough to be painting a series, it was a landscape with trees. I had done 3 paintings with an "old" tube and the 4th painting took one whole tube.) I can't remember the brand and I don't live in that city anymore to go to that art supply shop to see if they still have it/if it would jog my memory and I no longer have the paintings (they were a gift. But back then [I've gotten lazy now a days] I used to write what paint brands I use and the exact colours and brushes, just in case any touch ups were ever needed. Luckily, they never were. But I think I might start recording that information on the back of my paintings again.]
    Anywho, despite your struggles, I'm glad you realized it wasn't you and your painting came out lovely.
    Have a creative, healthy and happy 2024.

    The Michaels brand Craft Smart has also been changing some of their craft paint colors. The brown (like that’s the name of the color) and olive green are now soooooo transparent. Doesn’t matter how many coats you use, they will look splotchy. Too bad.

    a good artist don't overestimate their own skill, but knows them well enough to know when the tools are the problem, blame the tools, not the artist and sharpen your damn chisel, work smarter not harder, art is already a time consuming process, no need to add 9 layers of paint or a big hammer.
    Society telling us to blame ourselves, only applies to people just trying something out for the first time, because yeah, most beginners should rarely blame their tools, because they haven't developed the skill yet and societally it makes sense, they tried to push everyone down, because most people don't stick with anything, so they always beginners and "you're not better than me Rrreeeee.".
