ok
I love you ❤❤❤you very bennett my inspiration for so long ❤❤❤❤😄😄😄😄
Great
this is actually the first time i got convinced to buy something by a youtuber! thanks
CONGRATS ON A SPONSER RAE ❤🎉
I feel like as a kid you don't really care if an art supply is good or not (at least for me). It's fun and a good way to be creative. I loved my art sets as a kid. It was so exciting to see a bunch of markers, crayons and pencils inside a little suitcase 😄
I think it depends on the kid. I have always had OCD and just general sensory issues so I could really feel when I was given bad art supplies.
@@mokaakashiya9318 yup that's true. It was my experience and I didn't know how a good art supply works so i thought those were awesome lol
To an extent. But some stuff is just too bad.
I mean if my mom decided to put together some other stuff that's cheaper and better quality I'd have been just as happy
TRUEEEE
As much as I hated getting these for Christmas/My Birthday, I always loved the fact my mom would support my love for art even though we couldn’t afford it.
Nice. A phirric victory! XD
A beautiful point.
That's lovely!
Same here 😢
I feel the same way!
The fact that you still made some really incredible art with these supplies proves that when it comes to art, skill determines the quality over supplies.
the fact that she was able to draw such an amazing art even with the worst art supplies....is just true skill
I always felt the value in these sets were the wooden container itself lol
My container wasn't even wooden, it was plastic.
Yes! My mom got my children one of those sets, I put the 'good supplies' in the case.
I still have my wooden case lol
Exactly, when it hits the clearance aisle I’m grabbing them pulling EVERYTHING out including the black plastic and using it for my colored pencils that don’t have a wood or tin case.
@@christinasanderford5849 that sucks unless it’s durable.
OMG, I’m 57 and as a kid I always wanted, and often got, these!! These crappy kits are what made me give up on any type of art for 40 years. I thought that I was horrible and gave up. Flash forward now and I have my own grandkids and yes, I buy them art kits, but Crayola ones. Something that they can actually work with! Oh, this one hit me in the feels. LOL
Exactly! I remember being so frustrated with cheap kid art supplies. Those awful chalky paints were bad enough but colored pencils and watercolors with hardly any pigment was not only a creativity killer but also made me feel like a failure for not getting them to do what I wanted!
I was thinking while watching this that these kits could possibly make a child think they don’t have any talent. You couldn’t have said it any better. 🥰💕
They're what made me think I was trash with watercolours!
Yeah my Dad was an engineer and, after he retired, he took an interest in drawing. He did technical drawing at school WAY back in the 1930's/1940's, but never had a chance to do real "art". I guess he kept a lid on it for his first 65 years because, the second he retired, he came to me (I was then around 19 or 20) and asked me if I wanted to go with him to a local art class, running twice a week for 4 weeks, just around the corner from us at a local college. I didn't, but I agreed anyway, just to spend time with him. He was like a kid again, he couldn't wait to get started. When we turned up, it was literally 15 old people (60+) and ME, and this young hippy style lass with a nose piercing. She was attractive, so that was one reason for me to keep going in! But my Dad, he had prepared and been out and bought himself some art stuff - and it was ALL from the pound shop. The lowest quality, sratchy, scrapy pencil crayons - terrible brushes - poster paint style watercolours, cheap paper etc! He wasn't having much luck in the class, despite trying his best. So I took in some of my own stash - 160gsm cartridge pads, some old Derwent artists crayons, my Derwent pans. He had a lot more fun then. But he'd still, from time to time for years after that class ended, come home from town with a bag full of art supplies he'd "gotten cheap from the discount store" and give them to me! I'd smile, say thanks - and put them in the chest with the others! XD
Same, these kits are awful and in general make kids feel like they are just terrible at art in general. I made sure as an adult to only give kids the real deal. I would rather give them a 12 pack of Polychromos or Prismas and some decent paper than waste money on those kits.
This kit is aimed at kids - toddlers! My daughter loved these kits when she was a toddler. She did not care that the paint was flakey or that the the wax crayons were waxy. As for the pens, she would leave the lids off within a hour of opening the new pack. So as a parent, the price and quality is perfect for a toddler. As my daughter got older, I have gradually spent more money on better quality supplies for her. But absolutely agree about the size of the paper sheets!! Crazy!!
I'm glad your toddler is fine with the quality. When I was 3 or 4 I'd cry over waxy crayons and supplies that didn't let me do what I wanted. It got to the point where I could only do art during superivsed times because it was so frustrating
@@calthegreatest 4 isn’t a toddler so no wonder you didn’t like them like a toddler would.
@@mochabearry sometimes 3/4 is classed as toddler, 5 and a bove usually tends to be kids and young kids
A toddler is like 2. I promise you this is not geared towards 2 year olds. It’s just targeted towards kids in general. I always got these when I was like 7-10 years old and I hated them (but I’m also an artist and have been since I was a kid so I also get that’s different too.)
amen @@calthegreatest
As a mother of a 9 year old (commenting Jan 16, 2024) I can tell you artistically leaning kids like mine will draw on *anything* they can get their hands on! 🤣They will draw on good paper, bad paper, small paper, big paper even if they don't have the fine motor skills. My kid has loved drawing since he was very tiny. His aunt introduced him to it and he would have happily drawn on that from a his toddler years up to now. 💜
Just imagine how many kids think they suck at art because of this fun absorbing artsupplies
I was drawing and colouring before I was walking and these sets and a horribly incompetent art teacher in school is why I hate water colours. Finding youtube creators like Rae have taught me more than actual professionals I've met in person that I've dabbled in water colours in the last years
I was one of those kids lol
My kids wanted to, I refused to let them believe they were strictly the problem when it was mainly the quality of cheap supplies. I've found much better kits for barely much more than these art store ones and let me tell you, they create every day now with very little frustration and no tears. If something isn't up to par, I'll quickly get something better to replace it and we haven't had issues. If anybody can, even if it means getting less supplies than the budget kits, get something better quality and add supplies along the way
@@drake713 I honestly feel your pain. Because as a kid they give you the worst quality watercolors, and the fact that my whole life they treated us like watercolors were for babies and acrylics were for teens and once you got good you got to use oil paints. It made me want to do acrylic as soon as possible because I hated watercolors and thought they were for finger painting children.
When I got older I went back to watercolors and realized that half decent ones weren't actually bad.
I still found a way to paint with them like they were acrylic paint though.... Yeah none of my watercolor paintings actually look like watercolor paintings and most people think they're acrylic 😭
ye i have that same exact kit
omg that’s so funny I had a art set JUST like this as a kid, and was to scared to use it cause I though it was the creme de creme of art supplies lol
Bro same
Same!
Yes you’re so right!
Lol! Same here😂
Same. I thought the similar set was really expensive and fancy so I rather used my old art stuff than tried the ones in the set. And now I have thrown the art set to trash long time ago but I still have some other crayons and colored pencils from my childhood that still works fine.
I actually look at these super fondly because I wasn’t always as into art; I got into art when I was hospitalized for a long while as a little girl and my mom brought me one of these to keep myself occupied since I tended to like art class. I ended up spending the time drawing things for my doctors and nurses, physical therapists, etc. It was a highlight in a dark time.
i love the way rae never is rude about a bad product
I love that she risked her phone for an ad😭
I'm gonna have to say I think Rae should design and produce her own version of an art kit similar to this! Especially since you feature so many nostalgic art supplies over the years!
i would totally buy it and support it all the way!!!
Seeing the piece of art that Rae produced: "Oooh! Yummy strawberry!!" 🍓
Then seeing Rae's face: "Oh. Rae isn't happy."
Ikr
her "bad" drawings are my BEST drawings loll
hey Coincidence I have strawberry in my name 😊
Yeah, I can’t even draw it
@@hesmybabyflx lol
That was like a trip down memory lane. I remember weird streaks in watercolour and crayons. For years I thought that’s how it’s supposed to look like and didn’t wanna do any art 😢😅
i remember loving this kit when i got it cause i was more of a quantity over quality type of girlie when i was younger lol, BUT i remember instantly hating it cause the markers were so dry and squeaky + i hated watercolors as a kid (little me didnt know watercolor paper existed)
me: oh poor rae her test drawing is probably not gonna look too good since the supplies are shit
rae: creates something stunning anyway somehow
Proves that only a bad blacksmith blames his tools (for most part)
Omg right???
:: music stops ::
Me: …….
Rae: …..
Me: …..
Rae: I hate it!
Me: 😮
NAH FR ITS GORGEOUS
Skilled warrior with rusty sword beats weak warrior with perfect sword.
as much as i HATED these crappy kits as a kid, i always liked getting them for holidays/birthdays purely for the wooden case that the supplies came in. i'd actually get rid of most of the supplies and just reuse the case to hold my art supplies that were actually good quality.
I read somewhere that those markers (in the plastic case) are water activated 😂
The case was shit plastic that breaks
@@spinelessdevil some come in a wooden box, I had a dark brown box filled with art supplies. The supplies was a little crappy but the case itself was nice.
My friend was kinda rich growing up. She got me one of those for 100 bucks! All the art supplies were so high quality
I've done that a LOT over the years too 😂
Rae even with bad art supplies she always makes everything look good!
I had the Crayola brand version of one of these when I was little, and everything in it was actually pretty good quality.
Okay but that strawberry is still gorgeous, you're art is always amazing
Ikr!
I was like "Why is she pissed? She still made a beautiful art!" LOL Although when she showed her previous strawberry picture I was like "Ohhhh."
It looks like a story book 💕
Don’t know if it’s just me but it was so satisfying to open one of these suit cases as a kid to have such crayons, markers, and colored pencils at my fingertips, i felt so extra and POWERFUL 😂
LMAO
for real i always was like OOOOOaoOOOAooaoOOOAOoaooaoaoOoooO at them even now i do XD
Thank you for these reviews! I’ve been using your inputs to restart my art journey
10:54 UM, how do you hate that?? That is soooo goood!!!!!!!!!
ikr?!
I love these. Not for the supplies inside (they're... unbearable.) But for the case! They're actually nice for turning into a portable lapdesk and you can add little USB gooseneck lights and stuff.
i'm using one right now with my cooling pad and laptop on it, on the couch
I was eyeing up the case as well, it does look pretty solid.
Yeah sometimes I actually keep the case
I wonder if my bullies in seventh grade who made fun of me and called me “Crayola“ for trying to make small talk about how much I preferred the brand are watching this video as adults and think of me and realize how right I was!
(I’m 38 next month, this stuff stays with you)
You were right then and you’re right now!
well, happy birthday as i see its now the next month
This review made me laugh a lot. As an "art-child" growing up this was the only gift any grown up ever thought to give me. how I would dread those wrapped slim rectangular boxs. Core memories unlocked haha
Your so talented either way
I’ve now been subscribed for 2 years and I love your videos and art and it really takes me on being an Artist
What this proves is that I can’t blame the supplies anymore for my drawings cuz her drawing was still amazing with the bad supplies 😂
What do you mean?
These kits are the main reason I thought I hated watercolor. XD Although the grainy effect (Not the powdery effect, I think that's binder) you get is probably just granulation, some pigment granulates a lot more than others, but even expensive ones will. Some artists actually look for highly granulating pigments!
Yes, you’re so right, the filler is what makes them so chalky. These aren’t watercolours, looks like poster paint to me. I love granulating watercolours but that is a crappy set of “watercolours” . Those are the kind of paints that made me hate watercolours in school. 🤪 Now I love to paint!
@@tinadahlgren7781 Same! I have Winsor and Newton watercolors now and they are amazing!
@@JasmineZellmer So do I slowly changing my cotmans into professionals as they run out.
7:21 that same thing happened to m the ink wasn’t so I pressed harder on the marker and poof unusuble
And we also had both reds break first,very ironic
It never ceases to amaze me how artists can create amazing works of art out of the worst materials.
I've found the neon yellow problem to be common in cheap colored pencils (either that or yellow that's basically invisible)
or pink looking like magenta🤡
How hard it is to find the correct basic yellow pigment? They were so close to having a decent supply.
@@mintstar3703 Yellow is the hardest base color pigment to produce/apply, even with expensive mediums imo
@@dannydanny2789 Oh. I didn't know.
It actually explains so much about the cheap yellow pencils. Does this apply to crayons, markers and paint too?
This review is mandatory viewing for anyone who will buy art supplies as a present for anyone, ever.
Hey Rae! Love your videos so much. You inspire me all the time and I get so excited when you post. I just got a bunch of colored pencils from my boyfriend's grandma's collection and I'm using the fine touch pencils out of them. They are a hobby lobby brand and I think you might like them. I love the watercolor ones but the regular are good too. And she had a lot of them. I've had plenty of time using them and they are pretty consistent all around. Just thought I'd share that and would love to see what you think of them. Have a great rest of the day!
I just started to watch her randomly and now I love her videos ❤❤❤
Hey Rae. I remember, back in 2016/7, when I found your channel. I remember watching a bunch of videos back to back, and really liking how much passion you had talking about art stuff. I was studying at University at the time, in an illustration degree, and sometimes at 2am when I was still working on a brief with just a week left of the deadline, I'd make a coffee and chill out for 30 minutes watching your videos. Now you have almost TWO MILLION subscribers! That's INSANE! XD I'm so glad for you!
My youngest daughter is now 10 years old and, over the years, whenever I bought myself a new set of Derwent or Faber Castell pencil crayons (or whatever), I'd always make her a pencil roll of my spares / old pencil crayons. She has a lot of talent, and loves to draw. I wonder sometimes if the teachers notice that her pencil case at school holds around £200 of pencils / blenders / putty erasers! XD XD
Keep going. Great videos, as always.
This is so sweet 🥰
Amazing mom/ dad located
I made a custom set for my kids from a zippered binder and supplies I bought. More expensive but it’s way better. Always tried to stay away from those cheap kits. I love your videos 😊
i doubt it was much more expensive than this
@@misseselise3864 about $50 😅
You are the epitome of cool parent
@@christinasanderford5849 fr, theyre super cool :)
I had something like this that I've had (but not consistently used) for years. It had pencils, a larger pack of paper, the same design of markers, pencils, and the worst thing
Pastels.
I remember that i had these after i brought a project home to continue working on it. I got home, got out the oil pastels and BOY HOWDY they might at well have been *crayons!!*
They were so dry it was *ridiculous!*
I used to get these from relatives that knew I drew but knew nothing about art supplies. I almost never used most of them but the oil pastels were ok and I think I still have the really nice wooden case one set came in. Michael's has these on sale for like $5 during their sales, but it's a cheap plastic case.
Even though the art supplies were AWFUL, you are an artist and have MAJOR SKILLS!! The picture looks AMAZING!
I used these when I was young those tiny sketches were literally a nightmare.Thanks for making this video Rae love you girls ❤🎉
Sketches refer to markers
As a kid I loved drawing on small paper. And I loved these cheap.kits I also didn't know better and my experience with them did give me the knowledge of all the bad things cheap supply and when I got better supplys I was so impressed
I had a box case kinda like the one in this video, and it was my favorite thing ever 😂 it came with glue, scissors, a tiny pencils, coloring pencils, markers, pastel crayons. Which were GREATTT 😳 like what ? And more I loved it. I colored and designed the outside of the case as well as on the inside outer rim I wrote a message and all the ppl I love and their full names. One day while moving I got rid of it I wonder where it is now if a kid now has it, it’s at a goodwill or if it’s thrown. I really loved it
I love how the item count for the kit neglected to mention all of the repeat colors. As a kid, I knew the supplies would be trash, but the nicer kits (like from costco or something) would come in lovely wood briefcase style boxes, and I wanted the fancy box more than the weird pastels and dry markers inside lol. Now I am an adult and have fun organizing my supplies however I want.
You can make ANYTHING turn into a beautiful masterpiece!!
And also make me laugh! ❤
I was given so many of these types of sets for Christmas and such growing up. I used the coloring pencils only, the rest was ignored until eventually they where thrown out.
One set did come with a roll of paper that was for like making a banner or something. I still have the paper. It makes good wrapping paper when none can be found at the house. XD
Thanks! You never fail to inspire me :0
That fact that she was able to create something that half of us couldn’t with trashy art supply’s 😢😢😢
I couldn't do that with Gucci or any other high-end brand that I can't remember now.
i could create a semi realistic cat with bad graphite pencil
Supplies like that were the reason I hated art with a burning passion until I found UA-camrs like you. I didn't discover my ❤ for art until my late 30's! I'll be eternally grateful for your content for teaching ne how to find quality supplies on a budget.
I recreated this kit for my neice & was able to buy her quality supplies for a few dollars more than price of that kit. It was my goal to get her as many things as that kit included & I'm really proud of what I was able to get her by assembling the kit myself.
I would love to have a nice wooden briefcase to keep all of my supplies in though. Maybe a affordable, quality art brand will get on that.
Rae can make anything beautiful 😻
I had the art 101 156 Piece budding artist set for a few years when I was like 12 or so, and I am honestly shocked about all of the issues you had with this one. The 156 piece set that comes in a double decker wooden brief case, which was genuinely nice and I believe one of my younger family members still uses to this day like a decade later. It came with:
30 acrylic paints, 15 oil paints, 30 jumbo colored oil pastels, 24 full size color pencils, 24 water color cakes, 4 wooden horse hair paint brushes, 3 reusable plastic palletes, 2 B2 sketch pencils (where I got my love for B2 lead lol), 2 full size erasers, 1 pencil sharpener, 4 guides, a full canvas panel, and the wooden veneer case, which was built like a tank
I always loved how sturdy and solid the case was, and it always did great for me. I still have a few remnants of the art supplies from within lingering around, and I remember testing them a couple years ago and still being pleased. Even when I was 12, I was quite the art supply snob, opting to have few high quality supplies over a ton of cheaper ones, and I was never really disatisfied with the 156 piece set, but damn the one in your video looks dreadful!
I had multiple of these as a kid and oh gosh I remember hating it so much but I felt guilty because the adults who gifted them to me were so nice I didn’t want to disappoint them so I’d force myself to use it anyways lol
I got one of these kits when i was a child. I'm guessing that the quality has went down. But they weren't that bad. Maybe the paper. My kit lasted up mid highschool. I had art classes so I used it up fast. The only thing that was meh was the watercolor (they were super chalky) and like Rae's reasons is the crayons. I had markers and oil pastels too. It wasn't too bad.
no matter how bad the art supplies are, super rae dizzle can make anything look good tbh
I used to have a cheap art kit my parents bought me from Target when I was 5 and the crayons in that kit didn’t even feel or work like crayons. They felt more like using cheap oil pastels. The kit also included some markers that sucked to use because they were so streaky and scratchy.
So... In terms of supplies I didn't expect much, but I'm quite intrigued by the little box. They're ridiculously expensive trying to get wooden or similar boxes for supplies here!
I love your videos so much Rae!!!! You got me into realism and you are a huge inspiration ❤
This is honestly so relatable. When I was younger I had one almost identical to the one in the video. The markers ran out of ink so quickly and the crayons weren’t that good.
I almost stopped drawing because I only was able to get those kids art kits through gifts. But recently got some amazing supplies and I feel so creative again with the new stuff.
8:14 BRUHHH this brush tip got a serious case of Scoliosis 😭💀
Also I think the kit box is supposed be painted on possibly leading to the reason why the papers were super miniature cuz it looks like part of the design to paint on the box but idk
as someone who has mild scoliosis, we pass this on to the random kids who chew up crayons
I know these are trashy... but the major nostalgic it holds is unbelivable!!!
IKR, reminds me of my childhood🥲
Hello Rae,
Hope you are doing well. Just wondering if you could bring some of the videos where you find rare vintage art supplies. Pls, thanks 😊😊
Hahaha! I have one of these. The Michaels metal case version. You get it cause it’s cool to have, not cause it’s useful. I bought it for the case but…everything has a snap on slot! It’s cute. I’ve used the WC tubes, the oil pastels are just crayons, and everything is the cheapest house line.
I had gotten one of these cheaper art kits and the one I bought had paint, marker, charcoal, pencil crayon, blending stumps, a posing doll to use as a reference, oil pastels, chalk, watercolor pencils and markers, and I believe some paper. It was only 40 dollars or so, but was such a good find, as all the materials were really good quality. I don't think it's available anymore, though :(
I want to say something to the water color: I live in Germany and these water colors are a staple of school art class and every student is familiar with them. In Germany, gouache would be called water color as well, because here it really is just a category of water based paint. What everyone calls watercolor (so the one that seeps into the paper and is very watery and stuff) would be called "Aquarell" here. But of course these in the art box are shit quality and there really are better ones that do behave kind of in the middle of watercolors and gouache :)
Don't you have poster paints as well? They are even more guachey I think, more opaque than the chalky "watercolors", even though they were actually less chalky.
Same like here in Hungary, watercolor has 2 types: 1. Student quality (vízfesték=waterpaint) it contains more binder less pigment => cheaper 2. Artist quality (akvarell=aquarelle, watercolor) more pigment less binder => more expensive, also we have gouache but I think we call it tempera.
Yeah, we have a lot of water-based/soluble paints here in the US but the only paints considered "watercolors" in the art schools and universities are aquarelles. Gouache is still kind of niche in the US and not easy to find in a local store. Like if you go to a random dollar store in the US, you'll find a watercolor set, and maybe a set of acrylics, but not gouache. In elementary schools, most art classes use non-toxic paints like (egg-free)tempera which teachers can buy in bulk as a dry powder and mix with water as need or buy in giant bottles pre-mixed.
I got one of those as a kid on Christmas. It came with regular markers and many of them STILL were dry AF. Unfortunately, I never really used the kit, because my mom refused to get me sketch paper and I refused to use my school paper. I used school paper one single time. The paints and markers would seep right through and I ended up ruining several sheets underneath. After that, I just stored the kit for years in my room until I could finally get away with tossing it.
Honestly i just like it the way it is, as a kid before i dont really mind having bad art supplies
I feel like when companies put out super low quality art kits like this they are doing such a disservice. It makes kids frustrated. I know I was frustrated for many years. Then I found the art community on UA-cam and learned about better quality supplies. I'm not as good as Rae here, but creating art is definitely a more enjoyable experience when I don't have to fight with my supplies!
i got this same kit when i was 8, and i fully agree with everything you say. The same things happened to me, the neon yellow, the chunky crayons, the goofy ahh paper, everything!!! not to mention the markers…constant pain. My pink marker also broke and at the time this was devastating to me. THE WATERCOLOR!!! the watercolor was okay for me but i scratched my paintings too much and my little painting bin was full of chunk :(
I had one of those as a kid! Well, one of the many that were made copying each other, anyway. My sisters each had one as well. Every item in them sucked, but the ones we had contained the first oil pastels I ever got to use outside of school, so I have fond memories of that thing. The quality was awful, but I always felt so fancy using it because it was in a cool wooden box.
I got these as gifts from relatives who just knew I was into art and thought it would be a good gift. Most of the supplies in those kits went unused.
Whenever Rae makes a Video where she draws a Strawberry to test the Artsupplies, i cant stoo but think "Haha.... a Strawber-rae" and giggle to myself
That's funny 😂
stop*
(not trying to be rude)
My parents used to get me art supplies like this, but it was a lot better quality. It was oil pastels, 5 different types of paint, charcoal, chalk, a sketch book, it had a bunch of nice art supplies like metal sharpener, brushes, etc. AND I remember it came in this nice thick wooden pack. Lol. I had it for years
That is so nice!
Your work is great ❤❤❤
Rae: This is the worst art supplies I've ever used!
Also her: *creates a masterpiece with it*
Everyone had this as their first art set I remember how well all the supplies didn’t work
I love these wooden art boxes and buy them whenever they are on sale and cost under 10$ - just for the wooden case. All the contents are given away to the kids in my neighborhood who paint and draw outside in the summer - if something goes missing, is forgotten or lost, it does not matter.
I used to get these from my family members all the time when i was little bc i draw a lot. I always used the small papers as swatches or like a color testers before you use them on your actual paper.
This was so interesting to watch as an adult, as I haven't used one of these kits since I was very young. But I think it's important for children to have somewhat decent supplies, or supplies that don't range in quality too much like graphite pencils or ballpoint pens. Especially because looking back, I think kits like these are the reason I always thought I hated colored pencils. They're just one of those mediums that are hard to use unless they're good quality. And the same for crayons, to an extent. The only pieces of these kits I ever enjoyed using were, funny enough, the watercolors.
0:26 to be fair I have one which was £20 but I got mine on a sale for £10 and it’s really good quality.
It has
-normal sized coloured pencils (28 colours)
-Normal sizes watercolour pencils (28 colours)
-watercolour paint (in tubes, 24 colours)
-acrylic paint (in tubes, 10 colours)
-oil pastels (24 colours)
-paint brushes (6 brushes)
-paint palettes (2 paletts)
-a water tub thing (for watercolour paint water)
-a pencil
-a rubber
-a sharpener
GIRL, the second I saw the brand she picked up I was like NOOOOOOO because I have tested out supplies previously by that brand and it was baaaadd...so I knew what I was about to see.
I remember always getting one of these for Christmas as a kid but the ones I got always included oil pastel crayons that I loved 😂
Brings me back to my preschool and elementary days, but we would get these sets at family dollar which would be in a plastic case rather than the wood, and boy oh boy none of the supplies would stay in the container, lol. I had a very love/hate relationship with it as most of the time the crayons would break or the markers didn't work, even with water added to em. But the idea of it always excited me, despite how painful it was using it. I think at a time walmart also had the plastic casing one too
I think while price may be the main selling point, convenience is another factor to consider since everything comes in one nice case. However, if you gathered every supply on your own, you’d get higher quality products at the same or lower price.
8:48 The chalky layer on top is what happens when the watercolour itself is poorly mixed, the dye soaks into the paper and the cheap base stays on top, once the water evaporates, it turns into a dry powder.
Im not even into art but i love you videos theyre so satisfying
I loved those kits when I was a kid! 💕💕
😂 that look at 10:41 took me out! Spoke volumes. I was hoping you'd shove the box off the table while yelling GARBAGE! LOL! Cuz that's what I did. I got suckered into that same "kit" now it's in a landfill somewhere.
To be fair, I know as a kid I begged my parents for one cause it looked so cool with all those different supplies 😅 so if they had gotten it for me it wouldn’t have been their fault. We just went to the dollar store though, they had watercolors, colored pencils, felt tip markers, actual Crayola crayons, almost all the same stuff :) though I don’t think you could get the pastels they sometimes included at a dollar store
Me!! Always wanted one but the whole family refused to get me one
I USED THIS THING AS A KIDD AND I LOVED IT (this brought back so much nostalgia)
I loved getting sets like this just wish they had ones in wooden cases I always got those plastic ones that it you bumped it against something you were likely to get a sharp edge you could cut your finger on if you weren't careful
xD Every complaint you had about the "watercolors" brought back VISCERAL sense memories. All I could do was laugh and nod. I thought I hated watercolor for most of my life because of this shit, and then I decided to get an actual GOOD watercolor palette as an adult on a whim and found out I actually really love it!
As a kid I have always wanted those. They seemed soooo fancy but my mum wasn't willing to spend that much on it (coz I have 2 siblings who'd want the same) so she'd always buy the discounter markers and pencils etc. I am glad she did that coz those were reeeeeally good. :D
Dude, the piece you made with these supplies is AMAZING! I think you really triumphed over the awful medium, here!
I had this exact one when I was a kid! Or when I was younger! But I loved having all the markers crayons and so much more! I had a bunch of different kinds aswell
I HAD THIS AS A KID PLZ- 😭i remember being so disappointed when the “oil pastels” were just crayons with a different skin ☠️
I remember having this kind of set as a kid that I feel like a true artist. Good times.
Even though they are sht, I am grateful for these set for jumpstarting my passion for art.
What are some good brushes for general painting? As in works with most basic paints like watercolour and acrylic.
