    What's your take on cheap art supplies? Would you rather pay $1 for a LOT of cheap supplies that barely work, or $1 for a few more quality supplies? I'm curious to know!

    Speaking economically, japan has what is known as a quality bubble. A quality bubble meams that their is no point in companies raising their price for quality because other competitors will have cheaper prices so everything stays the same price but quality improves

    I so agree with you! A few years ago I wanted to try watercolor, but I didn't know any better. So I just bought some cheap stuff from a local craft store and decided it wasn't for me. Later on, my boyfriend bought mw my first actual watercolors, the cotmans, and I loved it. I really realised that quality is important and the cotmans are actually quite affordably. It gave me the chance to upgrade and go for artist paints, but I will always baby my cotmans because they got me started!

    The Japanese are known for quality, specially when it comes to art. Many factors go into pricing, like distribution being more expensive in the USA because of the vast distances, or supply and demand. I'm sure a larger percentage of Japanese people are into creating art than American buyers. All combined contributes to their better price for better quality.

    If anyone is looking for cheap art supplies Michaels has some decent packs of paint brushes for $5. XL is a good and cheap brand when it comes to sketchpads(cheapest at walmart). There's also a student grade brand called reeves that has a lot of different types of paint. The quality is decent and a pack of paint tubes is only $8. Amazon tends to be fair when it comes to supply pricing and get the Michael's app, There's always decent coupons on there.

      Definitely agree for Reeves and Artist Loft as starter brands but once you move into Prismacolor, Winser and Newton, etc. you DEFINITELY need to move to Amazon. Michaels ups their prices SO bad on the more expensive art supplies. Even with the 60% coupon it still won’t beat Amazon.

    We have a Daiso here in Texas. It's basically a 200 yen store, which works out to 1.50 US. I have never once been disappointed in anything I bought there. And I buy a lot, lol. They don't have a huge selection of art supplies, but between the art and stationary supplies I have purchased quite a few of my favorite, regularly used supplies there. I really wish there was a Japanese version of Wish. I would buy all the things! 😁

    My first experience with watercolors were the ones from the dollar store and they were the already dried than activated by basically drowning it in water, back then my mom got it for me and she got this news paper thin paper. Whenever I used it I had to put something under it since it no matter what would stain on my table, and the colors started popping out of the pan. Then later on in my art elective we used watercolors again still the already dried ones but like a singular drop of water would activate it immediately, and I had a mixed media pad (to swatch the colors) and watercolor paper and it was amazing! We recreated the water lillies (forgot by who) and it definitely changed my mind about watercolors!

    I've tried many art supplies from Japanese dollar stores (mainly from Daiso), including watercolor, coloured pencil, poster colour, pastels, brushes and a bunch of pens. They are good if u consider their prices. But if u are used to the quality watercolors, u will find the dollar store watercolor is not doing well in blending and sometimes there are small darker colour spots existed on ur drawing. I think that might be becuz there are some insoluble powders inside. Other supplies are still good except for the coloured pencils which are a bit too soft. What amaze me is the pastels!!! I really recommend u to have them cuz they can do soft blending perfectly. The only limitation is that they only have a few colour choices in one box...
