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!!!!
I have recently gotten the Artixx Jelly gouche and I was surprised with experiencing it for myself! I can forsee it as my replacement for my acrylics for if I want to do smaller works. I love love LOVE! Thank you for making this video. Saving it for video reference for when I run into new artists.
Pls try Indian brands like Camlin and fevicryl as they are very cheap as compared to the US and still the best!! many Indian fans will like it and will get to know as to what is the difference in the quality as the prices are incomparable. I suggest this to you as the way you explain is so good that audience feel as if they are actually working with the supplies❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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 !
I say the best thing to get a art lover is a multi media kit. That comes with watercolor, acrylic, oil pastels, colored pencils, chalk pastel because then they get to experiment with all sorts of options.
AHH YES. Recently, my brother got me a yellow tinted sketchbook that was 10 dollars. It has Such thin paper. Like..if you have friends that are artist and your not, pay attention to what they want! And ask them!!
@@1rage17 If you talking about those art kits that come in those weird briefcase sets made for kids, no. No. Those are not good. But idk what ur talking Abt anyway
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
Definitely agree. I just got arteza guache paints and absolutely love them. Arteza is a good budget brand. I use bristle board but cardstock is a great option on a budget and can be cut to different sizes. You can also get plain notecards in the office supply store that make great 5x7 postcards. Have never used an electric eraser but have heard good things about them
back when I first started acrylic painting; I was using poster board cut to size I needed :) not super durable, but was cheap and able to decide acrylic painting is what I wanted to do. :) Good suggestion!
@@s.rose16 since mine are done not in the greatest quality this is best in the beginning and to be sold at a cheap price. I take a picture of my artwork either outside or under a lit room (best done when it’s bright out). Most devices allow you to adjust the photo anyway you like so play around with those and print a few test prints. Then you should be good to go. For larger sizes that your printer can’t handle, you need to find an outside resource. Hope this helps!!
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'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 :)
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.
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.
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 have to recommend eBay and other resale sites. You can get new or barely used products for ½ the price sometimes even cheaper. A lot of these sites will let you set up alerts, so if there's a particular product you're looking for, you can try to wait to get it for a good price. Like I have recently gotten an 8 pack of posca for $10 when at my local art store they are more than twice that price.
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:
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.
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
@@Chirp-chirp it's "nights" like the time of the day, not like guys wearing armour, idk where are you from and what internet stores you use but I just checked and they're available on Amazon if you can't find other sources
@@mothie-art thanks, last time I checked they weren't available on Amazon but I'll look into them again. Also, I know that it's nights haha I mistyped in my first comment
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.
Yeah, the watercolor pencil & traditional watercolor combination is really helpful, I've been doing this vs using a regular pencil to sketch the line work in recent months.
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.
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.
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!
My first watercolor set was a Windsor & Newton set of pan paints. 3 years later and I’ve finally just about wiped it out. Good quality for beginners, and it’s a great travel kit too. Just got a Koi set with a water brush. More vibrant but that water brush is a new skill 🫣
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!
This was such a great video! So often people buy junk that won’t get used or things that stifle creativity. A gift of art supplies really helps the recipient open new doors and let their creativity free and encourages imagination. Thank you! There are a couple I’ll be checking out for personal use as well! Happy holidays!
I think staedtler mars lumograph black pencils are also a really good set to use especially if you want less of a glare compared to regular graphite! I've had trouble personally with charcoal due to the messiness, but I still wanted that same rich darkness in my drawings and those pencils provided a somewhat similar look.
My daler rowney Ebony series sketchbook has taken literally everything i’ve thrown at it- gouache, watercolour, pencil, crayons, paint markers, alcohol markers, acrylic, and even india ink/calligraphy ink doesn’t really bleed on the paper noticeably, which i find is a problem in almost every other sketchbook i’ve had. It’s the most versatile and reliable sketchbook paper i’ve ever used and i’d consider it a must-try for any artist!!! It is also not too expensive (at least in the uk) and comes in various sizes, black or white paper, and both spiral and perfect bound versions.
I actually love the caran d'ache luminance in terms of colored pencils. They blend like an absolute dream and layer really well. Doesn't rlly matter that they're expensive. Well they're lightfast (for those who do not know what is lightfastness,it is something that makes ur artwork last longer when exposed under the sun or any ultraviolet light source) don't worry if you can't buy them, it's for people who sell their artwork. (orignal artwork obviously not the print). Also because the color on the pencil almost matches the color that's actually the color of the pencil. That's actually not a problem, you can use swatches if you want to match the color to a printed picture and if ur not someone who wants to sell their artwork u can use prismacolor premier, these pencils also blend like an absolute dream and u can layer them really well. So if you have the money, you can spoil urself and buy a set of caran d'ache luminance but if you don't want to spend a lot you can buy prismacolor, they work the same except for the lightfastness thing. Edit: Arteza and Arrtx, both also really an amazing alternative for both. These pencils also blend and layer pretty well. Another good alternative to caran d'ache is the Derwent lightfast. They're much more cheaper than caran d'ache. But THESE PENCILS blend SO GOOD AND LAYER and the thing is that they're LIGHTFAST just like the luminance. Also when it comes to markers, Ohuhu markers are really good, like Rae said they're just cheap and AMAZING!
OIL SET - Personally I would recommend the Daler Rowney Georgian Oil Colour set. The last set I bought was in college 15 years ago and they are still going strong even though I don't use them as much.
For gel pens, I love the Pentel ones like Milky Pop, Glitter, and Metallic. I used to get them when they were more widely available in stores (back in the late 1990s, early 2000s). They can still be found online and in some art stores. Although I haven’t tried it yet, I did buy the Windsor and Newton oil paints that can be cleaned up with water.
Paper mate ink joy black in is my favorite to use for watercolors and illustrations. It’s dark, goes on smooth and water resistant. Oil pastels my go to is mungyo gallery soft oil pastel and then Caran D’ashe. Gouache I like Turner’s Acryl and Holbein.
The best thing I ever bought myself as an artist was procreate. Obviously, I had the luxury of being able to buy myself an iPad and apple pencil at the time, but if you can't afford that then there are lots of other great programs as well. But if the artist in your life has an iPad and doesn't have procreate, it is SO worth the cost (one time fee, no subscription!). I truly thought I was terrible at art when I was using physical supplies but it turns out I was just better suited to digital than traditional due to my frustration with erasing. If I could buy an irl "double tap to undo" for my traditional art, I would still be filling notebooks to this day.
My fave supplies: Dual-tip Mildliners both styles - chisel/bullet tip and brush/bullet tip. Great for adult coloring, Bible journaling and bullet journaling. Black Bic Stik pen. Clear gesso. Electric helical pencil sharpener. Great video!
Budget and nontoxic tips/supplies for painters: Instead of using turpentine to wash your oil or acrylic brushes in, you can use witch hazel. It is less toxic especially if you have animals around that like to sniff your paint water. Also no strong smell so you can use in a less ventilated studio or office like say a garage. You can also mix some into your paint water to keep your brushes from getting crusty. (Never leave your brushes in water overnight, it ruins the bristles) Also craft/popsicle sticks are good for mixing paint or a pallet knife. Never mix with your brush as it will ruin your bristles. You can never go wrong with gifting the canvases and paint from the dollar store as it is great for beginners and artists on a budget. I go through the small canvases and paint from the dollar tree on a regular basis. For an off brand paint marker instead of poscas, penguin brand have 28 colors with dual tips that work just as if not better than poscas for a fraction of the cost on Amazon. They are $28 retail but can usually get them on sale for under $20 or use a gift card even better Watercolor paper is great for all media and cheaper than multimedia paper. The arteza cold pressed mentioned is what I preferably use for all my painting and sketching Also can never go wrong gifting good quality brushes like artistic bear co as well.
Personally I enjoy using the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens for my fine-lining work and for filling in the black areas. I find they give me more control than using the Micron Pens. 🙂
I used the Tombows for years until I tried the Zebra brush markers and was blown away by how much darker they are, if you haven't tried them yet I highly recommend them.
i mainly use alcohol markers and it can be hard to find paper that is thick enough to handle the ink but doesn’t t soak it all up and dry out the marker. The best (under 30$) ones that i have found is the Ohuhu marker pads, the price depends on the size but they usually vary from 10$-30$ CAD. i hope this helps anyone looking for good marker paper!
100% with you on the Cotman paints. I actually started buying empty pallets and slowly building up collections with individual tubes. I then stick magnetic strips on the palette amd put these in a metal tin. It's a budget-friendly way to build a collection and you can swap them around in one tin instead of having lots of different boxes. 😊 My favourite sketch book this year has been Fabriano. 😊
I'm a professional portrait artist, and when I work in graphite, I use PaperMate Sharpwriter mechanical pencils on Strathmore 400 series drawing paper. The paper's reasonably priced, and of course you can find PaperMate at any office supply store. The lead is a regular 2B, but I can get a great range of tones from it, and the sharp little tip lets me get very detailed. I call them my "secret weapon" because nobody would consider these a "real" art supply, but they are soooo good!
I just have to say, I absolutely adore your channel. When it comes down to art supplies I always have been quite picky with quality and price; your channel has been super helpful and I think really does grasp the concept of good art supplies that you can honestly get for fairly reasonable prices. I definitely agree with you on many products you mentioned in this video but I would like to add a couple more. For one, ( it’s definitely one of my favorite brands when it comes down to pencils ) is the “Mr. Pen” 14 count sketch pencils, for the quality of the product it’s 15$ price is pretty reasonable. One thing about this set is that it comes with a 10B witch I don’t think I’ve seen in most or any other sets. Moving on, another brand and product that I absolutely love is the “Kalour” colored pencil set especially the 180 count, these are a little more expensive but well worth the price. Going along with what you mentioned in the video, is the strathmoor toned paper, me personally prefer the tan one over the grey but both I will agree are very good quality. Finally, the Ohoho alcohol markers ( I’m sorry for spelling mistakes) are an excellent pick for markers but again I must disagree that the “Copic” brush tips are by far my favorite. I would love if you would do a tutorial with them if you haven’t already. Also, for a more cheap yet still good quality version of the alcohol markers, is the “Shuttle Art” brand, I personally have the 171 + Blender and I use it all the time so that would be a good choice especially for beginners. ( I have the ball tip -not the brush but I still really enjoy it). Well that’s all I really have to say and again sorry for any typos or spelling errors; but really just keep up the good work and I hope this gave you some more ideas!
I can't remember the prices but I get these a lot from Hobby Lobby and Amazon: Faber Castell is my all time favorite brand for art supplies. Been using them over 20 years now. I'm happy you brought up their Graphite! I love that set! I used to do Watercolor and Gouache a lot: Windsor and Newton is definitely an amazing brand but another recommendation is Holbein. But the Gouache from Windsor and Newton is the best. Artist's Loft is another great type of paper. I haven't yet tried the Watercolor pad but I have with the other pads. They're amazing just like Strathmore. Edit: I'm looking for an Oil Paint myself. I can't find one I like and ones I tried are. . . 😓.
If you want some good and cheap oil paints then check out Camlin Kokuyo’s professional set of oil paints 12 x 20 ml set it’s only about 8 to 9 dollars and their really good.
Love you Rae. You're my top art creator of 2022. I think I've watched almost all your videos and never got bored. I wonder if you could try some Indian art supplies lol, specially colored pencils, paints. Camel, Doms and Brustro are way to go hehe. Thank you so much for everything ❤️❤️
I am an artist and I work mostly with watercolors and other paints! I really recommend the Winsor and Newton travel watercolor set. It is around $20 at most art supply stores, and like Rae said, is a great set! For paper, most hotpress watercolor papers work well with watercolor, but I recommend looking for papers that are acid free. The paper and art will last much longer that way!
I’ve been watching u for 4 years now since I was 11, and what is best about your content is that you always are genuine and never let too much fame or money change you or your personality, also you helped me with my art journey! Very motivational when I started watching your content I was on my 3rd sketchbook and could barley complete it, now I’m on my 45th and draw everyday. Off topic but I just wanted to let you know!!
Ahhh I’m so grateful for this video. I am looking to treat my future SIL to some colored pencils and bam! You swoop in to save the day. Purchased. Love your energy and personality! Any chance you have favorite gel pens? Mainly for journaling, writing notes on my calendar in a fun way, etc. Appreciate any feedback! ❤
So true about the dollar store canvas. I took it with me on a paint nature picnic with family, and painted with acrylic. It’s been half a year, and the canvas warped over time and got all messed up. Definitely worth splurging on a good canvas, if you want your piece to last!
Love your videos, Rae! I love watercolor but I've fallen into the medium of soft pastels and my Sennelier Soft Pastels - they go on paper so well, easy to blend and makes great art
Hi Rae. I wanted to come and let you know that I have about four packs of prismacolor colored pencils. The first time I tried them my aunt gave me a 25$ gift card to Amazon for Christmas last year. And ever since I got my first pack of prismacolor’s, i loved and still love them. I wouldn’t know about them without you thanks so much Rae. Slay like the queen you always were.
I am in love with Tombow markers! I highly recommend them. I also love using microns but with the brush (sadly they are really hard to find in store), posca, and faber castell paint pen brush markers.
I do all types of art but mainly acrylic. I use a Canson mix media sketchbook for both drawings and paintings. I have never needed to switch to an acrylic sketchbook because the mixed media one works so well. I've been using it for almost my entire art journey. For paints, I use mont Marte paints which are almost like Liquitex basics but a lot cheaper. They are $27 for a pack of 24 I think. I also have the Liquitex ones but only in white because I use white paint a lot.
i’ve found that arteza oil paints are really great, easy to work with with a large variety, and are pretty budget friendly!! i’ve been using them for years and love what i can create with them :))
We were really interested to watch this when we saw the title!- the ~$20 price point is a sweet spot for so many great art supplies! One of these days, we hope to see something about "underrated art materials brands" featuring, oh, we don't know, maybe Blick exclusive Utrecht Professional Artist's Colors!
Favorite supplies: Stoneground watercolors, Kaweco Sketchup Brass Pencil, Paper Republic drawing book/Canso XL mixed media, and a da Vinci quil brush. Great things to work with
As an watercolor artist I recomend the Van Gogh watercolor Its under 20 $ (at least in my country) and pretty good. I also would recomend the watercolor paper from the canson XL series for watercolor or the art creation sketchbooks for color pencil drawing
Holbein Acryla Gouch will always be my gouache first love, but Himi is a nice alternative! I'm a big fan of water colour pencils so the ones I recommend are Derwent (both the pencils and the inktense pencils), Windsor & Newton and Arteza.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I needed to get information on budget friendly art supplies. You nailed every item I am interested in. I am a newbie to the world of art. On a fixed income. I love your positive, happy personality! You take your time not fast forwarding on high speed as many youtube videos do with awful!!!!!!! Music playing in the video!! ❤❤❤❤❤
11:22 I am not sure if in countries other than mine (Poland) it is possible to buy these oil paints but they are really good quality 45zł (11$) for 18 colors are called "Marie's oli paint" worth looking for if someone really cares about good cheap paints
Yes!!! Awesome job! Id really like to know what YOU would buy for a first time artist... For all the drawing and painting supplies..in all mediums. I just wonder what you would choose taking cost, quality, quantity, and how often you go through these as a new artist! Even the best places to buy these things...and any tips n tricks for new painters. Im really loving watercolor right now! Lol
I have that windsor and newton pallette but I haven't really used it because I haven't got around to getting proper paper yet. Nice to see it made the list.
I love all types of paint! For watercolors I use Winsor and Newton Cotman watercolors, and occasionally the professional variation if I want a color to really pop. I love my Liquitex paints when I work in acrylic. Now I use the heavy body paint yet I have the basics type as well! When I use oils I will use Winsor and Newton artisan water mixable oils and gamblin 1980. Not to forget I use Arteza paints for watercolor and acrylic too!
My favorite mid-tier brand is Caran D’Ache - their tinted grafcubes are my fave supply ever! They’re like sticks of graphite with a slight colored tone (like the derwent graphitints)
I am new to your channels and I’m obsessed,you draw amazingly,Rae please teach,teach girl,you have a natural way about it,seriously,praying you will take this seriously 🤓🎉
I'd also like to recommend: PRANG 8 or 16-colour watercolour pans! They're semi-moist and the colour just blooms when you put it down, plus it's more commonly available in actual retail places and in Canada. Strathmore also makes pretty good watercolour paper, a small block is about $12 CAD! Toned Tan is also by Strathmore and comes at the same price, but it's a warm base compared to the cold grey. If you're not sure, buy one of each in small pads, they're like $10 CAD each and whichever gets used more is the preferred base colour! For drawing pencils- either a set of 6 (Faber-Castell sells a good set of 6 wooden pencils for fairly cheap) or a good, sturdy mechanical pencil. I know Rae swears by the cheap ones, but personally, I sank a good $15 into my ko-hi-noor lead holder and never looked back! ALSO, if your friend is that person who prefers water-based markers... you can't go wrong getting them Tombow double-ended brush markers. They can almost be used the same way as watercolour paint!
I've actually found that the best budget oil paints i've tried were ones that i made myself with jacksons pigment and a glass muller (and its fun too :D) you can customize the texture using different additions without any of the dodgy filler that ruins the pigmentation. getting yourself the paint making materials can be a bit expensive but in the long run it's a whole lotta fun and noice paint.
I'd also recommend the white jelly roll pens, use them all the time for everything! Also the prismacolor alcohol markers, or pro markers maybe. also got a pretty decent watercolor set from daler rowney for $5 👀
Yep, you are absolutely correct! Very very useful video!! 🎉 a whole bunch of these recommendations i did not know were any good! Surprised to see Winsor making it with a budget friendly option! Love this! ❤ thank you...
What is the difference in watercolors between using half pans or tubes? Do you still add water to the tube versions? Sorry if this is stupid, but I have just started messing around with them and I cannot find a good answer to this. I love your videos Rae! This is one that I am saving for sure! I'm so happy that it has so many items that I already have (I also love colored pencils best, but I love doing most all of your ideas here😀) so that means (to me) that I must be doing something right 😌
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!!!!
hi rae ily and your videos
Thanks Rae! I always learn something from your videos.

I say the best thing to get a art lover is a multi media kit. That comes with watercolor, acrylic, oil pastels, colored pencils, chalk pastel because then they get to experiment with all sorts of options.
What style of art do you do? :)
@1rage17 yes! I love multimedia bc I have adhd and crave doing every type of art
AHH YES. Recently, my brother got me a yellow tinted sketchbook that was 10 dollars. It has Such thin paper. Like..if you have friends that are artist and your not, pay attention to what they want! And ask them!!

The queen is ✨️Slaying✨️ again!
As always 😂
Queen where?
The queen is dead 💀
Sl-rae-ing
I'm sorry
Yaaaaaaaaass✨
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. ❤
We used gouache in my collage color theory class and my professor had the easiest description of it: it's an opaque watercolor
Pretty much. Or like acrylic you can reactivate more easily
my favourite art supply is a ballpoint pen specifically the ones that have four colours they’re so good
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 :)
Your profile picture is so pretty! Amazing job!
@@mermaidnebula thank you so much! 😁
The muted palette. I asked for it for christmas, and I cannot WAIT.
I hope you love it!
These paints are brilliant
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.
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.
Love this idea!
Hey I love this idea. Do you have a special way you store the paints, so it’s a little easier than the buckets?
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.
What wholesale market do you use for your supplies?
I have to recommend eBay and other resale sites. You can get new or barely used products for ½ the price sometimes even cheaper.
A lot of these sites will let you set up alerts, so if there's a particular product you're looking for, you can try to wait to get it for a good price.
Like I have recently gotten an 8 pack of posca for $10 when at my local art store they are more than twice that price.
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:
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.
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
Where can u get white knights I can’t find them anywhere 😭
@@Chirp-chirp it's "nights" like the time of the day, not like guys wearing armour, idk where are you from and what internet stores you use but I just checked and they're available on Amazon if you can't find other sources
@@mothie-art thanks, last time I checked they weren't available on Amazon but I'll look into them again. Also, I know that it's nights haha I mistyped in my first comment
Omds white nights are sooo good
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.
Yeah, the watercolor pencil & traditional watercolor combination is really helpful, I've been doing this vs using a regular pencil to sketch the line work in recent months.
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.
I LOVE Reeves, their stuff is very affordable and high-Quality!
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.
Yessss! same!
The staedler lumograph graphite pencils are the BEST pencils I've used to draw realistic portraits... And they are only $12 for 12 pencils. ❤️
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!
Love my Derwent Intense pencils for watercolor that's not watercolor. Love the fact that they can be bought individually also.
My first watercolor set was a Windsor & Newton set of pan paints. 3 years later and I’ve finally just about wiped it out. Good quality for beginners, and it’s a great travel kit too. Just got a Koi set with a water brush. More vibrant but that water brush is a new skill 🫣
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!
I personally love the Uni Hi-Uni Wooden Pencil Art Set (22 set of different types of pencils, 10B to 10H) is a set that cost $27 and Imo is so good.
This was such a great video! So often people buy junk that won’t get used or things that stifle creativity. A gift of art supplies really helps the recipient open new doors and let their creativity free and encourages imagination. Thank you! There are a couple I’ll be checking out for personal use as well! Happy holidays!
I think staedtler mars lumograph black pencils are also a really good set to use especially if you want less of a glare compared to regular graphite! I've had trouble personally with charcoal due to the messiness, but I still wanted that same rich darkness in my drawings and those pencils provided a somewhat similar look.
My daler rowney Ebony series sketchbook has taken literally everything i’ve thrown at it- gouache, watercolour, pencil, crayons, paint markers, alcohol markers, acrylic, and even india ink/calligraphy ink doesn’t really bleed on the paper noticeably, which i find is a problem in almost every other sketchbook i’ve had. It’s the most versatile and reliable sketchbook paper i’ve ever used and i’d consider it a must-try for any artist!!! It is also not too expensive (at least in the uk) and comes in various sizes, black or white paper, and both spiral and perfect bound versions.
I actually love the caran d'ache luminance in terms of colored pencils. They blend like an absolute dream and layer really well. Doesn't rlly matter that they're expensive. Well they're lightfast (for those who do not know what is lightfastness,it is something that makes ur artwork last longer when exposed under the sun or any ultraviolet light source) don't worry if you can't buy them, it's for people who sell their artwork. (orignal artwork obviously not the print). Also because the color on the pencil almost matches the color that's actually the color of the pencil. That's actually not a problem, you can use swatches if you want to match the color to a printed picture and if ur not someone who wants to sell their artwork u can use prismacolor premier, these pencils also blend like an absolute dream and u can layer them really well. So if you have the money, you can spoil urself and buy a set of caran d'ache luminance but if you don't want to spend a lot you can buy prismacolor, they work the same except for the lightfastness thing.
Edit: Arteza and Arrtx, both also really an amazing alternative for both. These pencils also blend and layer pretty well.
Another good alternative to caran d'ache is the Derwent lightfast. They're much more cheaper than caran d'ache. But THESE PENCILS blend SO GOOD AND LAYER and the thing is that they're LIGHTFAST just like the luminance.
Also when it comes to markers, Ohuhu markers are really good, like Rae said they're just cheap and AMAZING!
OIL SET - Personally I would recommend the Daler Rowney Georgian Oil Colour set. The last set I bought was in college 15 years ago and they are still going strong even though I don't use them as much.
Georigans are right up there with the Winton's and for me, even better. The Winton's are so stiff.
For gel pens, I love the Pentel ones like Milky Pop, Glitter, and Metallic. I used to get them when they were more widely available in stores (back in the late 1990s, early 2000s). They can still be found online and in some art stores.
Although I haven’t tried it yet, I did buy the Windsor and Newton oil paints that can be cleaned up with water.
RAEEE!!!!!! REEVES OIL PAINT IS LIFE CHANGING
Paper mate ink joy black in is my favorite to use for watercolors and illustrations. It’s dark, goes on smooth and water resistant. Oil pastels my go to is mungyo gallery soft oil pastel and then Caran D’ashe. Gouache I like Turner’s Acryl and Holbein.
The best thing I ever bought myself as an artist was procreate. Obviously, I had the luxury of being able to buy myself an iPad and apple pencil at the time, but if you can't afford that then there are lots of other great programs as well. But if the artist in your life has an iPad and doesn't have procreate, it is SO worth the cost (one time fee, no subscription!). I truly thought I was terrible at art when I was using physical supplies but it turns out I was just better suited to digital than traditional due to my frustration with erasing. If I could buy an irl "double tap to undo" for my traditional art, I would still be filling notebooks to this day.
I love this video! I would love to see a miscellaneous part like brush cleaners, storage, boards, etc.
My fave supplies: Dual-tip Mildliners both styles - chisel/bullet tip and brush/bullet tip. Great for adult coloring, Bible journaling and bullet journaling. Black Bic Stik pen. Clear gesso. Electric helical pencil sharpener. Great video!
Budget and nontoxic tips/supplies for painters:
Instead of using turpentine to wash your oil or acrylic brushes in, you can use witch hazel. It is less toxic especially if you have animals around that like to sniff your paint water. Also no strong smell so you can use in a less ventilated studio or office like say a garage.
You can also mix some into your paint water to keep your brushes from getting crusty. (Never leave your brushes in water overnight, it ruins the bristles)
Also craft/popsicle sticks are good for mixing paint or a pallet knife. Never mix with your brush as it will ruin your bristles.
You can never go wrong with gifting the canvases and paint from the dollar store as it is great for beginners and artists on a budget. I go through the small canvases and paint from the dollar tree on a regular basis.
For an off brand paint marker instead of poscas, penguin brand have 28 colors with dual tips that work just as if not better than poscas for a fraction of the cost on Amazon. They are $28 retail but can usually get them on sale for under $20 or use a gift card even better
Watercolor paper is great for all media and cheaper than multimedia paper. The arteza cold pressed mentioned is what I preferably use for all my painting and sketching
Also can never go wrong gifting good quality brushes like artistic bear co as well.
Love love love your videos Rae..
Question, can you make some Gesso and see how it compares to the store version. Please and thank you.
Personally I enjoy using the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pens for my fine-lining work and for filling in the black areas. I find they give me more control than using the Micron Pens. 🙂
I used the Tombows for years until I tried the Zebra brush markers and was blown away by how much darker they are, if you haven't tried them yet I highly recommend them.
@@ldegraaf I've not seen those but I will keep an eye out for them. 🙂
i mainly use alcohol markers and it can be hard to find paper that is thick enough to handle the ink but doesn’t t soak it all up and dry out the marker. The best (under 30$) ones that i have found is the Ohuhu marker pads, the price depends on the size but they usually vary from 10$-30$ CAD. i hope this helps anyone looking for good marker paper!
my fav art supply is......... POSCA markers. i'm obsessed with them.
I’d also recommend the artxx gouache bc it’s really good and cheap and a big plus (for me) is that the case comes in a pretty sage green colour
100% with you on the Cotman paints. I actually started buying empty pallets and slowly building up collections with individual tubes. I then stick magnetic strips on the palette amd put these in a metal tin. It's a budget-friendly way to build a collection and you can swap them around in one tin instead of having lots of different boxes. 😊
My favourite sketch book this year has been Fabriano. 😊
I'm a professional portrait artist, and when I work in graphite, I use PaperMate Sharpwriter mechanical pencils on Strathmore 400 series drawing paper. The paper's reasonably priced, and of course you can find PaperMate at any office supply store.
The lead is a regular 2B, but I can get a great range of tones from it, and the sharp little tip lets me get very detailed. I call them my "secret weapon" because nobody would consider these a "real" art supply, but they are soooo good!
I'm obsessed with Lucas Structure Gel Mother of Pearl ...It not only thickens my paint it also gives it a beautiful iridescent look GORGEOUS!
I just have to say, I absolutely adore your channel. When it comes down to art supplies I always have been quite picky with quality and price; your channel has been super helpful and I think really does grasp the concept of good art supplies that you can honestly get for fairly reasonable prices. I definitely agree with you on many products you mentioned in this video but I would like to add a couple more. For one, ( it’s definitely one of my favorite brands when it comes down to pencils ) is the “Mr. Pen” 14 count sketch pencils, for the quality of the product it’s 15$ price is pretty reasonable. One thing about this set is that it comes with a 10B witch I don’t think I’ve seen in most or any other sets. Moving on, another brand and product that I absolutely love is the “Kalour” colored pencil set especially the 180 count, these are a little more expensive but well worth the price. Going along with what you mentioned in the video, is the strathmoor toned paper, me personally prefer the tan one over the grey but both I will agree are very good quality. Finally, the Ohoho alcohol markers ( I’m sorry for spelling mistakes) are an excellent pick for markers but again I must disagree that the “Copic” brush tips are by far my favorite. I would love if you would do a tutorial with them if you haven’t already. Also, for a more cheap yet still good quality version of the alcohol markers, is the “Shuttle Art” brand, I personally have the 171 + Blender and I use it all the time so that would be a good choice especially for beginners. ( I have the ball tip -not the brush but I still really enjoy it). Well that’s all I really have to say and again sorry for any typos or spelling errors; but really just keep up the good work and I hope this gave you some more ideas!
I got 120 Piece set of Kalour pencils. .I immediately ordered thicker 300 set ! I love these, smooth , blendable.gorgeous new colors.!
I can't remember the prices but I get these a lot from Hobby Lobby and Amazon:
Faber Castell is my all time favorite brand for art supplies. Been using them over 20 years now. I'm happy you brought up their Graphite! I love that set!
I used to do Watercolor and Gouache a lot: Windsor and Newton is definitely an amazing brand but another recommendation is Holbein. But the Gouache from Windsor and Newton is the best.
Artist's Loft is another great type of paper. I haven't yet tried the Watercolor pad but I have with the other pads. They're amazing just like Strathmore.
Edit: I'm looking for an Oil Paint myself. I can't find one I like and ones I tried are. . . 😓.
If you want some good and cheap oil paints then check out Camlin Kokuyo’s professional set of oil paints 12 x 20 ml set it’s only about 8 to 9 dollars and their really good.
@@aaronxavier09 I'll look into then! 😊
Love you Rae. You're my top art creator of 2022. I think I've watched almost all your videos and never got bored.
I wonder if you could try some Indian art supplies lol, specially colored pencils, paints.
Camel, Doms and Brustro are way to go hehe.
Thank you so much for everything ❤️❤️
I am an artist and I work mostly with watercolors and other paints! I really recommend the Winsor and Newton travel watercolor set. It is around $20 at most art supply stores, and like Rae said, is a great set! For paper, most hotpress watercolor papers work well with watercolor, but I recommend looking for papers that are acid free. The paper and art will last much longer that way!
Your makeup looks bomb!
Catan d'ache color pencil, led pencil, crayons, water color pallet etc. I just LOVE caran d'ache 😍
On a shallow note, I LIVE for that makeup!
I’ve been watching u for 4 years now since I was 11, and what is best about your content is that you always are genuine and never let too much fame or money change you or your personality, also you helped me with my art journey! Very motivational when I started watching your content I was on my 3rd sketchbook and could barley complete it, now I’m on my 45th and draw everyday. Off topic but I just wanted to let you know!!
Ahhh I’m so grateful for this video. I am looking to treat my future SIL to some colored pencils and bam! You swoop in to save the day. Purchased. Love your energy and personality!
Any chance you have favorite gel pens? Mainly for journaling, writing notes on my calendar in a fun way, etc. Appreciate any feedback! ❤
So true about the dollar store canvas. I took it with me on a paint nature picnic with family, and painted with acrylic. It’s been half a year, and the canvas warped over time and got all messed up. Definitely worth splurging on a good canvas, if you want your piece to last!
Liquitex and golden acrylics for the win!
Love your videos, Rae! I love watercolor but I've fallen into the medium of soft pastels and my Sennelier Soft Pastels - they go on paper so well, easy to blend and makes great art
Hi Rae. I wanted to come and let you know that I have about four packs of prismacolor colored pencils. The first time I tried them my aunt gave me a 25$ gift card to Amazon for Christmas last year. And ever since I got my first pack of prismacolor’s, i loved and still love them. I wouldn’t know about them without you thanks so much Rae. Slay like the queen you always were.
I am in love with Tombow markers! I highly recommend them. I also love using microns but with the brush (sadly they are really hard to find in store), posca, and faber castell paint pen brush markers.
The the intro line is just satisfying
As someone who honestly just want to expand on my art, this is a great place to start! Thanks!
I do all types of art but mainly acrylic. I use a Canson mix media sketchbook for both drawings and paintings. I have never needed to switch to an acrylic sketchbook because the mixed media one works so well. I've been using it for almost my entire art journey. For paints, I use mont Marte paints which are almost like Liquitex basics but a lot cheaper. They are $27 for a pack of 24 I think. I also have the Liquitex ones but only in white because I use white paint a lot.
Winsor and Newton watercolor field box is perfect for a small, portable, and all around amazing watercolor kit!
Ok I understand the point of this video but I couldn’t stop admiring your lipstick and how it matches your outfit so much!! That’s the real art there.
i’ve found that arteza oil paints are really great, easy to work with with a large variety, and are pretty budget friendly!! i’ve been using them for years and love what i can create with them :))
We were really interested to watch this when we saw the title!- the ~$20 price point is a sweet spot for so many great art supplies! One of these days, we hope to see something about "underrated art materials brands" featuring, oh, we don't know, maybe Blick exclusive Utrecht Professional Artist's Colors!
Favorite supplies: Stoneground watercolors, Kaweco Sketchup Brass Pencil, Paper Republic drawing book/Canso XL mixed media, and a da Vinci quil brush. Great things to work with
As an watercolor artist I recomend the Van Gogh watercolor Its under 20 $ (at least in my country) and pretty good. I also would recomend the watercolor paper from the canson XL series for watercolor or the art creation sketchbooks for color pencil drawing
Could you try the fabercastell matt graphite pencils? I heard they are really good! Also love ur channel rae!
they're so lovely!
Love them!!!
Holbein Acryla Gouch will always be my gouache first love, but Himi is a nice alternative! I'm a big fan of water colour pencils so the ones I recommend are Derwent (both the pencils and the inktense pencils), Windsor & Newton and Arteza.
My absolute favorite art supplies is the Spectrum Noir Artliner 6 pack. It has a good range of sizes, and the best brush pen I have ever used.
Thank you so much for this video!!!! I needed to get information on budget friendly art supplies. You nailed every item I am interested in. I am a newbie to the world of art. On a fixed income. I love your positive, happy personality!
You take your time not fast forwarding on high speed as many youtube videos do with awful!!!!!!! Music playing in the video!! ❤❤❤❤❤
RAEEEEE i love your content and art soooo much! keep it up girl!❤
I’m a little late but I love using prismacolor color pencils and fiber-castell😊
Thank you for posting when I am alone and in need of something to get my mind off of my sickness.
11:22 I am not sure if in countries other than mine (Poland) it is possible to buy these oil paints but they are really good quality 45zł (11$) for 18 colors are called "Marie's oli paint" worth looking for if someone really cares about good cheap paints
I highly reccomend the colors of the world crayola pencils because it's such a wide arrangement of skin tones and it draws pretty smooth 💜
Yes!!! Awesome job! Id really like to know what YOU would buy for a first time artist... For all the drawing and painting supplies..in all mediums. I just wonder what you would choose taking cost, quality, quantity, and how often you go through these as a new artist! Even the best places to buy these things...and any tips n tricks for new painters. Im really loving watercolor right now! Lol
My favourite art supplies are the faber castelle polychromos coloured pencils!!! They are so good
i dont do art anymore but j love my gellyrolls and tombow dual ended markers
I’ve been binging raes videos for a week now
I have that windsor and newton pallette but I haven't really used it because I haven't got around to getting proper paper yet. Nice to see it made the list.
I love all types of paint! For watercolors I use Winsor and Newton Cotman watercolors, and occasionally the professional variation if I want a color to really pop. I love my Liquitex paints when I work in acrylic. Now I use the heavy body paint yet I have the basics type as well! When I use oils I will use Winsor and Newton artisan water mixable oils and gamblin 1980. Not to forget I use Arteza paints for watercolor and acrylic too!
I love my Arteza acrylics, especially the iridescent 10 pack!
I personally LOVE the Windsor and Newton charcoal set, it is under $20 and it is an amazing set that is soooooo versatile
My favorite mid-tier brand is Caran D’Ache - their tinted grafcubes are my fave supply ever! They’re like sticks of graphite with a slight colored tone (like the derwent graphitints)
Rae: video on affordable art supplies
You tube: advert for caran dache
I am new to your channels and I’m obsessed,you draw amazingly,Rae please teach,teach girl,you have a natural way about it,seriously,praying you will take this seriously 🤓🎉
My fav are like Rae sad the winsor & newton cotman set, Arteza coloured pencils & gouache.
I'd also like to recommend:
PRANG 8 or 16-colour watercolour pans! They're semi-moist and the colour just blooms when you put it down, plus it's more commonly available in actual retail places and in Canada.
Strathmore also makes pretty good watercolour paper, a small block is about $12 CAD!
Toned Tan is also by Strathmore and comes at the same price, but it's a warm base compared to the cold grey. If you're not sure, buy one of each in small pads, they're like $10 CAD each and whichever gets used more is the preferred base colour!
For drawing pencils- either a set of 6 (Faber-Castell sells a good set of 6 wooden pencils for fairly cheap) or a good, sturdy mechanical pencil. I know Rae swears by the cheap ones, but personally, I sank a good $15 into my ko-hi-noor lead holder and never looked back!
ALSO, if your friend is that person who prefers water-based markers... you can't go wrong getting them Tombow double-ended brush markers. They can almost be used the same way as watercolour paint!
Rae you’re a beauty, inside and out! Thanks for these tips.
I've actually found that the best budget oil paints i've tried were ones that i made myself with jacksons pigment and a glass muller (and its fun too :D) you can customize the texture using different additions without any of the dodgy filler that ruins the pigmentation. getting yourself the paint making materials can be a bit expensive but in the long run it's a whole lotta fun and noice paint.
I like beam paints water colors too! The color saturation is phenomenal
I'd also recommend the white jelly roll pens, use them all the time for everything! Also the prismacolor alcohol markers, or pro markers maybe. also got a pretty decent watercolor set from daler rowney for $5 👀
Love watercolour postcards and liquitex gouache they are my go to for quick art moments
Yep, you are absolutely correct! Very very useful video!! 🎉 a whole bunch of these recommendations i did not know were any good! Surprised to see Winsor making it with a budget friendly option! Love this! ❤ thank you...
I have not tried Himi or Wondry gouache but going even cheaper I am very satsfied with the Brusto gouache paints.
Rae I love your new content. This was just what I wanted to see. I have 2 rowdy boys, 4 and 6, that are absolutely in love with you and you videos. ❤️
Absolutely love this video, I never know where to start when getting art supplies
Thank you!
What is the difference in watercolors between using half pans or tubes? Do you still add water to the tube versions? Sorry if this is stupid, but I have just started messing around with them and I cannot find a good answer to this.
I love your videos Rae! This is one that I am saving for sure! I'm so happy that it has so many items that I already have (I also love colored pencils best, but I love doing most all of your ideas here😀) so that means (to me) that I must be doing something right 😌
Idk why but I love poster color cuz u can make such realistic paintings and it’s so easy to use
