ACRYLIC PAINTING - Serenity - Dollar Store Paints

[@JelArts]

I love dollar store acrylics! They are the only acrylic paint I've used so I don't really know what I'm missing, haha. I definitely want to try some more expensive paint once I practice some more with my dollar store brand :) They are also really great for crafting, too!

[@catalinaburgos6649]

JelArts I love your art! You help me to get into the wold of art and you inspired me to draw!

[@emilylucas2351]

JelArts yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss you are the same as meeeeee

[@lyricrodney3633]

Pro tip : you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@drewsam6387]

@Lyric Rodney Yea, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :D

[@thesupercheeseman]

I really love the shading on the skin. the color blending is flawless *_*

[@dlugocoll]

I would love a video on how she does her blending in acrylics, and whether or not its a different technique from how she does blending in marker.

[@sawyer716]

ahh!! so pretty!! this really makes me want to paint.

[@ingunnviken8149]

Little_Luna_ Kitsune Ikr! So beautiful! She says its not perfect but that is the biggest lie I've ever heard!

[@fizzii5072]

Luna Lazuli and then starts painting I expected better from myself

[@IzzyHendrix]

It's mesmerizing to watch you paint the flowers

[@tashaanicole62]

Love the flowers! Your really good at coloring them.

[@arcadianbloom6781]

your art has gotten so good within the last year! I initially started watching to learn about copics and other markers but over time I could see your art getting better and better and I just love to see how much you've branched out and how much better your art has become! you're a real inspiration my dear!!

[@bysamreen]

The paints blended really well. You did such a great job. 👏

[@DemiLoveNailArt]

Seen all the livestreams off this painting, love how it turned out!

[@Vreecks]

This is gorgeous!! Love the contrast between the pastels and her hair

[@unfortunatelyshort-35]

Hi Baylee, I stopped watching youtube for about 3 months due to schoolwork, and I came back today and watched a few of your videos. Seeing your art now, I can really see how you have improved and I must say, I am extremely proud. You have always been an inspiration to the artist I became, and seeing how much you have improved only makes me want to work harder with my art. Thank you :)

[@cassiemoo626]

Oh my goodness Baylee! You're just so talented! I love it so much you're such an inspiration :)

[@hikori3941]

It's been really wonderful and inspiring to see you growing so much as an artist this past year. I've always loved your work, but it's been awesome to see you trying different mediums and styles. I've loved all your latest pieces so much.

[@CloroxBleach-yy2gt]

This is my all time favorite piece of art you've ever done!!!

[@emileymack9626]

This is incredibly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us Baylee

[@miserableghost6385]

This is always be one of my favorite videos. I just love how beautiful and the blend of everything looked effortless.

[@Gracelouuisee]

Baylee, you inspire tons of artists and your work is amazing!! Keep it up!

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I've been waiting for this video, this is such a gorgeous painting! Love the thick hair with the little braids and all the flowers.

[@meanie_3232]

This was so beautiful, I loved the flowers, no matter what material,styles, or when you draw with your right or left hand everything looks so amazing!

[@RicardSistach]

So amazing!! This is definitely my favorite piece of yours. The softness in the color palette, the hair has a really cool flow which makes it even more calming and soothing. It amazes me how you've been able to pull this off with acrylics, even though you're "relatively new" to them! Props to you!!

[@liyasimon8087]

I just discovered your videos and have been binging them, but this is my favorite yet. It's so gorgeous, and hypnotic to watch.

[@lovelygal3161]

This painting is so amazing you have a gift and you're so talented

[@TJtheBee]

This is so beautiful Baylee! I love the feeling of creating a piece of art that I love, and I can tell that you really love the way this turned out. I'm definitely going to buy this from Redbubble after Christmas (along with a bunch of other products...gotta make it a haul!).

[@Plagu3dPho3nix]

Your voice is very calming to me. I think the music is soothing as well. Your artwork is very amazing. Keep up the great work!

[@Craftsworldsocial]

Yeah I feel you on the dollar store craft paint, it used to be like "the shit" when I was starting off painting in highschool. I think it the consistency of those paints is really nice compared to the semi intimidating high pigment acrylics. If you want the more expensive brands to mimic the dollar store ones then I have some tips- ------------------------Add a little bit of white to every color mixture (this is why the cheap acrylics cant get certain tones) so that the paint isn't just a pure semi translucent pigment. --- Add a lot of water to the mixture, the soupy consistency of the cheap colors is cause its watered down so adding it early on in the actual paint mix will prevent globs of paint. -- Lastly, get jars to put color mixes into, so you can save colors and dont have to remix them. Also Golden acrylics has a line of acrylics that are called "fluid acrylics" which are much more liquidy than usual acrylics and are still incredibly pigmented so I also think trying those might help.

[@MetalYogurt]

this is so beautiful! and yeah I'm also a fan of acrylic paints.. idk I've been painting with them since 4th grade and that's why i like them so much

[@andreasmith1259]

I enjoyed watching you paint this during your steams. Sooo relaxing. And it turned out great.

[@RoushonChowdhury]

ahhhh Baylee! it's so nice!!! I watched all your streams for this painting and I love the end result! and I know you say you see imperfections in the face, but I wanted to say that the face is my favourite part!! I love the shading that you did on the face!!! the blend of colours is amazing.

[@loser7911]

this is probably one of my favorite drawings/paintings you did so far

[@izzysnyder5226]

I just started oil painting this year and there is a big learning curve, so I can relate to your struggles, but things get easier with time and practice. I have found that when you do oil on wood or paper it turns out much more matte than on canvas, and also thinning it helps with the drying time. This means that it will be less opaque, but it allows you to build up several thin layers rather than one or two thick ones. Oils generally have more pigment, too, so they are easier to mix with less colors. I'm an "oil girl", but whatever works for you is what works for you. My art style is also pretty different from yours, so some of the things I like about oils might be bad for your art. Whatever the materials, the outcome is beautiful, so keep doing what you're doing.

[@IamDeeDeeCrafts]

such a great drawing, love the hair and flowers...so pretty

[@nightblossomstudios]

She's beautiful! I also love the coloring on the flowers.

[@liekkivalas]

I recently did a painting for my art minor at uni where I did the base in acrylic and the final layer in water-soluble oils. I discovered that while the faster drying time of the acrylics is very convenient, I enjoyed working with the oils more. It was much easier to get clean lines and fine details with them, and to blend them as well.

[@Kateslone]

I love it! I think this is one of my favorite pieces that you gave made! Thanks for making awesome content for us Baylee!!!

[@princessqueengoddess]

hands down one of my favorite pieces of yours, I can definitely see my Christmas money going towards a print because I am in LOVE with this painting!

[@kaurpuneet13]

I saw you painting the first pink flower and 2 more flowers , it was my first time watching you. I saw it Live by clicking the TwitchTv link you provided :) Must say I was glued 😊 🙌 I really like seeing people do art work :) Loved all the little moments in between , the singing and humming ( to get focussed , like we all do ) , the itching ( totally normal ) , the placing of the thin paper on the face of girl in the portrait , so that it does not get ruined ( I was also worried about your hand directly touching her face :P , even I didn't want to see her face get inked etc :P ) Hope to see more of such fun videos in 2017 :) Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to all , in advance :) May this year bring happiness and peace in the lives of all of us 🙌 😄 😊 💗

[@ArtByEmm]

im the opposite,I've done acrylic my whole life and since watching your videos have purchased a set of copies and am trying to branch out that way! i really enjoy it and love the variety it brings to my channel!! also love your painting,the flowers are beautiful

[@lauraschmidt8188]

Its a really pretty painting and you are really good at it. I like the way you paint the hair, its really inspirering.

[@maddymcfee3046]

I love this painting! Can you do a tutorial on how to draw flowers? All the flowers in this painting are really pretty

[@jeanette9990]

I love your videos!!!

[@ScribbleFix]

I really love this painting baylee!!! It looks great, well done :)

[@belleaimee738]

I love this one so much, Baylee!! I'll definitely be going to your store for a print of this gorgeous art! Thank you for sharing! This one had me mesmerized more than usual :)

[@SweetPigment]

This video is sooo calm and aaah

[@jisoolovelyzminatwice713]

Oh my god this is so BEAUTIFUL! Her skin looks so soft! I hope I can be like you someday I just bought like so many vellum boards cause I thought of your drawings and want to be like you! Keep it up! Keep inspiring us!

[@SamsCraftyCastle]

You've made some great art lately Baylee! Love this piece!

[@sambeawesome]

Very pretty :) The flowers are definitely a nice touch!

[@kristenk1995]

You probably couldn't mix brown because of the pigment load in the cheaper acrylics. Love cheap acrylics but if you want to mix your colors instead of buying them you probably would do better to go with Liquitex or Golden and start with a Split primary. There's a channel called The Art Sherpa and her color chart video suggests the following acrylic colors. HTH Phthalocyanine Blue (green shade) Ultramarine blue Dioxazine Purple Cadmium Yellow, Medium Shade (hue is ok) Yellow Ocher Cadmium Red, Medium Shade (hue is ok) Quinacridone Magenta - optional Naphthol Crimson Burnt Sienna Mars Black Titanium White Zinc White or Mixing White

[@all.apologies2539]

This is reaaally nice Baylee for only being your 4th acrylic painting. I think you will do great with acrylics

[@SpaceFox221b]

You're water colour paintings are super cool could you do more of them?

[@peridotplays2261]

This drawing is so pretty

[@tracystewart6464]

So beautiful, you are truly gifted artist. Thanks for sharing and encouraging me to just paint!

[@IvyLilyCreative]

I've had problems mixing orange with my cheap acrylics, too. But turned it turned out I was just using the wrong red. To make a vibrant orange, I mixed a bit of cadmium red with yellow. I first tried crimson red with yellow and it made a muddy orange.

[@kellyreiber9699]

I think this is my favourite piece I have seen you do to date! Though I haven't been following for that long, you inspire me to get creative! :)

[@Gantorin]

Nice work! One thing that could help you with color mixing could be making a color wheel. I know it is boring, and you have a good acrylic knowledge already, but it really does teach and refresh color mixing habits. For the brown you were trying to go for... (not sure if the paints were a factor but...), your were on the right track. I think it could have maybe used more red, and some black to richen the dark tone your may have been going for.

[@frozenmermaid3269]

Anyone else found this video surprisingly calming? I really enjoyed watching you paint. I really want to start acrylics. I think I might go to the craft store and pick up sone canvas paper to start with.

[@LaNio]

I've watched all the streams for this painting! Was awesome ! :)

[@myrratandon7846]

That looks soooooo beautiful

[@Picklesboothe57]

You draw really good Baylee, love all your work.

[@afrah7525]

No matter what type of paints or pencil your use or how munch it costs your talent is soo beautiful you make everything look beautiful Baylee!!

[@sansannie2002]

[@aleicemaelyn9756]

Another youtuber I watch does a lot of painting and might even have tips for using acrylics because that's what she primarily uses. The channel name is BananaJamana

[@BayleeJae]

I'm subscribed to her! She's so talented!

[@aleicemaelyn9756]

Baylee Jae yay! I love her art so much! I was going to ask you something but now I can't remember. Ugh. :/

[@Wolfano]

oh and another painter esk youtuber I personally enjoy is Robin Clonts! They do a lot of different mediums for paint and such ;w;

[@aleicemaelyn9756]

Sky thank you! I love watching art vids on KZbin but I just find them on my what to watch...

[@Wolfano]

[@nayarin9]

[@kaurpuneet13]

So beautiful 💘 I remember watching you spend a lot of time on the first pink flower on her forehead :) It really requires patience :) the outcome is worth it 👍 💜 😊

[@crystaldeemac]

[@Alien_cancerian]

the dollard store paints you have dont crack over time ! They are really good ! i paint with them all the time and they dont do weird things so you dont have to worry about that!

[@terrifictofu3639]

i love the acrylic videos that you do!!

[@avacado6197]

How much do you speed your videos up to normally? I love this painting so much!!

[@Natalie-hv1tu]

This looks amazing! Great job

[@jessl.914]

If the pencil is smudging on the canvas when you get your paint close to it you should try applying a layer of clear gesso on it before painting to create a barrier between your pencil lines and your paint so you won't have to worry about it getting into your colors.

[@aoife7031]

I love this so much

[@CheloMacabreArt]

PUSHEEN COASTER! I NEEDS! I NEEDS!

[@lizwidner1208]

Absolutely lovely!!!!! I'm happy for you!

[@drawingwithjai7415]

[@kaurpuneet13]

So this means that even the mess created by an artist is an art ? Lol 😝

[@amberwang3311]

[@sophiaorlando2350]

Baylee, you never cease to amaze me :)

[@ryleejanae9911]

I love your art so much I admire you

[@thatgirldancer9273]

Amazing! I have a question, should i get copics or a diffren't kind of marker because I'm somewhat new at art xD ILYSM

[@KekeShawnArt]

Diva Holly MSP I'm not her but I would recommend checking out cheap marker reviews. The newest cheap alcohol markers I've seen that has reviews are art-n-fly. Even though they aren't copies, they are good for beginners who don't know if they are actually going to commit to the medium. No reason to spend 400 dollars on something that you might not like.

[@atlas6509]

Diva Holly MSP Well,Unless You're Like Really Rich,Than You Should Start With Something A Bit Cheaper,Like, Brush Markers/Pro Markers From Winsor And Newton,Or Prismacolor Priemer (I Think That's How You Spell It) Markers Or Anything That You Can Find That You Like.

[@thatgirldancer9273]

Thanks for your suggestion (:

[@AXELBOWS]

Copic markers are amazing quality, at a higher price. If you're going to accumulate a lot of copics all up front then go for it, but from my personal experience I tried only buying 4 copics at a time, and by the time I went in for the next set of four I had almost used up the ink in the markers I did have (as you use what you have, and if you have less colors/markers to choose from, then you use the few copics you do have). A great alternative (at half the cost per marker) are "Promarkers", and Michaels has their own brand of marker called "#coloring" which come in packs of five, and are very juicy and pigmented. Bales has a copic marker alternative video as well, hope I could help ya!

[@chocolatewasted6498]

Diva Holly MSP I recommend the Touch brand or Art n fly because they're both very cheap and deliver good quality for the price.Unless of course you have a lot of money to throw around on markets (as for each copic marker can cost 6-9$) then I would recommend copics .

[@lucy-pp5xi]

You are so good at painting!! I love your videos 👍🏻👍🏻💕💕💁

[@lizzystarletz8573]

This is a really cool painting!

[@Lyddalivinglife]

i really like the liquitex basics acrylic paints.

[@emmapedersen8714]

for your conte smudging issue, you could use a spray fixative over the initial drawing to avoid that

[@ginnygriffin2148]

Holbein acrylic gauche is the BEST if you are looking to spend a little money and a good set. Even the basic set of magenta cyan and yellow is awesome because they're true to color. You can literally make any color you want.

[@thatcrazyjack]

This is gorgeous!!

[@lorpvs]

This is so pretty! I think your so talented, i cant paint that well myself, i personally dont like using acrylics for hair because it makes it look like you could take the hair out of the painting and snap it in half, like straw, but you made the hair so beautiful :D

[@emilykean352]

a thing to try is water acrylic. its like using water colors but its more smooth and you can do more blending than regular acrylic. its so much fun so give it a shot, you just might like it

[@xvzainaa]

I was crying while watching this because baylee is the best painter

[@0bsidi4n42]

She's so PRETTY

[@laurenescamilla2529]

This is absolutely beautiful 💕✨

[@karolinecelis1372]

You have to mix orange and blue, yet since the second color is more dominant. Then you need to saturate the color with bit of white, or more orange color to add.

[@sophieasquith204]

You're such a good artist really

[@kimberly246lobo4]

This is so amazing I love it
