If you coat a small cheap paintbrush with soap. Like wet the brush and rub the bristles on a bar of soap then you are able to use the frisket and it doesn’t damage your brush. The frisket just comes right off. It has saved a lot of headaches and you should definitely try. Also for fine lines use a dip pen and you can draw on the frisket and let the frisket dry and it just peels right off.

SAME! It bothers me so much :/ Also, you've got a good taste in music :D

[@emobitch1027]

Some artists leave their colors muddied because they are landscape painters or like using more natural looking colors rather than the bright color that comes straight from the pan. It's really just about color preference. It used to bother me too until I saw a video (can't remember the artist D:) where the guy explained why he leaves his pans muddy like this.

[@boringhumanbeing3826]

@@emobitch1027 Well that makes a lot of sense. It'll still bother me a bit because I prefer bright colors and muddy pans just remind me of highschool. For some reason, art teachers and students never cleaned their pans at my highschool and just tossed them into a corner hoping no one would find them. We always had to work with these muddy pans and that's why muddy pans make me somehow uncomfortable xD

[@emobitch1027]

@@boringhumanbeing3826 oh yeah I remember that at my highschool and middle school too. Shit made me so mad lol that's just laziness.

That's already me. I take my own pens into my workplace and my colleagues find it very odd. I've been told "hay, you know we have pens here, you can use, right?" And I say "you don't understand, I'm drowning in pens! I need some way of using them up!" I still have too many. My plan is to get myself a nice set (that I probably won't take into work) once I've finally ran out of all of my lot :) It doesn't help that there is a brand I like, and since I'm an adult and I don't ask for much for my birthday, my parents will sometimes get me that brand of pen. It is generous, and I will use them. But, I guess it's because I'm OCD and I need to use the cheaper ones first so I can reward myself with the nice ones :)

I have a ton of cheap nail art tools (dotting tools with silicone nibs in various styles) that are bomb for liquid frisket. It peels right off of both sides and you can use the various sizes and styles for different lines/looks. The dotting tool side can be used for indenting paper for white areas to use with color pencil work too which is neat. Dip pens work real good too for thin lines. The dotting tools are super cheap and will save your brushes for other adventures.

[@bunniesty2190]

I have the 150 prosmacolor pencils, i know you don't work with colored pencils anymore, but if you can make a tips and tricks video on them, i'd love to see it. Most ones on youtube don't go into detail as much so.

[@nadinesawtell3267]

• Bunniesty • the best way to work in pencil is from lightest colour to darkest colour. If you are doing portraits use purple for your shadow colours and always keep your pencils sharp if you are working with wax. A textured surface drawing paper will help you can spray the paper with workable fixative Any type of acid free paper will do I use scrapbooking paper personally I also work with water colour pencil crayons which I like very much I layer several colours one on top of the other then apply washes carefully. You can use any mixed media papers I have a piece of plastic that I keep behind the page and several layers of paper towel that will keep the water from soakings the sheets underneath caution do not mix wax and silicon (w c) pencil crayons when you spray them to add layers the spray will cause the colour of the W colour ones to spread

[@TheCrescentLune]

I recently found your channel and very much appreciate the overview of your art supplies. I’ve been an oil painter for many years (water soluble oils - I hate turpentine) but have been experimenting with more watercolor/gouache lately, so it’s nice to get some opinions on supplies. I personally don’t understand the artists that say things like “using watercolor pencils is a crutch” or “you’re supposed to mask or leave white areas not add it back in” implying it’s a cheat or hack-y method. I even get it for using water soluble oils - like it’s not “real” oils (for the record, they are the same paint just thoroughly emulsified with water. You can even mix a portion of traditional oils into them without compromising the water solubility.) I think all methods of making art are valid and combining mediums is just one of many art making techniques. It’s bullshit to say there are “rules”. It’s just yet another form of gate keeping and I’m not a fan. I am a fan of your work though, Emily. You make beautiful work while being very entertaining at the same time. Love it.

[@mjpete27]

I have a few watercolors and I can not speak highly enough of DaVinci watercolor company! I have gotten back into watercolors after years working as a digital Artist doing graphic design on a MAC! I have better results with the Fintec paints by pre-wetting and allowing the paints to soak up water (I believe you know this) so they can be applied much thicker than regular watercolors. Oh and any watercolor paint can be tinted with a white gouache, DaVinci also has a Gouache line of paints! Can you tell I am a fan? Yeah a new convert is always this way! I have splurged on the Albrecht Durer pencils they are the best I have ever used I am a long time user of Koh-i-noor too! I have always use Arches paper but I have been using Stonehenge and Union Square Blocks lately. Have a lovely day and keep going as you are!

Maybe try a pencil grip thing for the Derwent watercolor pencils? I have problems with the ridges too and sometimes that helps.

How can you tell if the watercolor you're using isn't well made, I've only owned two budget sets before and don't know what more expensive set to get?

[@emilyartful]

Poor quality watercolors will almost always pull off the page once they've dried. The binder is not strong enough so the pigment can be rubbed off like chalk. Try gently rubbing your finger over a dried swatch and if you have a noticeable amount of pigment on your finger, it's probably poor quality. Other signs to look for are colors that dry chalky, colors that separate or become muddy when mixing. But going forward, just do some research and you should be safe. Generally, reviews are pretty reliable. Make sure the product in questions has at least 60-100 reviews, too! Hope that helps!

[@TheCrescentLune]

@@emilyartful Ditto!!

[@TheCrescentLune]

I've used budget sets & professional, if you're on a budget, you can always buy a number of 5mL tubes, & make them into your own pan set, or use with a pallette straight from the tubes. I've had a hard time finding a lot of brands sets, or singles even, a lot seem to not have a big variety available through the internet. I am realizing now, I should probably check out my local Blick or other art store, I just realized they probably have a much better selection than Amazon, Plus, I'd prefer to support Blick or a smaller business anyway. Amazon carn be convenient for some things, but I don't love their monopoly on everything in the world & causing small businesses to suffer. I think it depends on what traits you want your paints to have, like, granulation or not, single pigment or not, convenience colors or mix your own, your preferred pigment family, dispersement. I think most higher end brands 5mL tubes like Daniel Smith, Schminke, Holbein , etc, can range from $7-$14 depending on pigment type & color availabilities? I have a VERY hard time finding affordable Daniel Smith, like the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, I've still not found anywhere affordable :( & others for example, so my D.Smith collection is quite small, I have the 6-tube Primatek set & 4 other tubes (Payne's Gray, Opera Pink, Lunar Blue, & Rose of Quinacridone I believe, the last two I only just ordered.) Sorry if that wasn't very helpful, it's definitely difficult to decide what paint to get when you decide to upgrade. I got a White Nights 36 color palette, it cost less than a lot of my other paint, but is still one of my favorites, ESPECIALLY when you factor in the price. I don't know why it's not MORE expensive. If you are very familiar with color theory & pigment types you can always mix your own stuff? Or just slowly gather a hoard, like I do to grow my Copics & my paint, grab one or two when able, & let your collection slowly build up. It's actually pretty satisfying to see it LOL I hope you have fun experimenting & find out which kinds work best for you! Best wishes in your art!

Thank you Emily Artful!! As i was just beginning to paint with watercolor, ( i already painted and colored with acryl) And i had not much but good materials to work with! (Caran d'ache, faber castell, Koh I Noor, talens (i am Dutch) and i had a windsor & Newton cotman watercolorset, with Canson paper or just cheap paper. But i had a very very bizarre sick ex which had burnt my house down) that 8 yrs ago and i have to start buy everything all over again which is almost impossible bc i also became very sick the last years which will not going away anymore so i have no job)! I also crochet, i am buying every month something (when i have some money left) and i have used and still using some stuff which is really cheap but absolutely not having a poor quality. Stuff from the Action, Xenos, (not even special art stores but they sell some very good quality materials like the micron pens (they're from talens) Ecoline pens Inkt also royal Talens sold by xenos. Action does have everything from clothing to hobby items, i bought all my crochet hooks and i also bought the acryll paint and the color pencils are amazingly good just 3 euro. But the watercolor and watercolor paper or sketchbooks are really from a poor conditions. they don't even have a relief like lets say strathmore or canson has but they look like if they are made for creating a Card. it has little squares in it! bizarre. so i bought canson watercolour paper again and i have a windsor and newton set again, but no good brushes. That is really making me sad that i had already a lot and then something or someone is taking that away from you. i did had a insurance ofcourse but if you have to buy everything new from towel to furniture and so on there is no space left for the hobby's you had before the fire! And the Netherlands are very high with the tax on everything 21 % on non food items and even 9 % on food + the price of normal daily healthy food is so pricey that it is almost impossible to have a hobby. there are a lot of garage sale like stores or fb sites but if you got caught and you have less money bc you are getting a tiny little bit money from the goverment you have to explain if you got money where is it coming from, I have a little medical help income from the goverment, the rest i payed for when i had my fulltime job a nurse specialized with alzheimer and related sickness) A very big part i taken from your income is kept in for if you reach your 68 th birthday when you are aloud to stop working you get a income everyone a base income very low, lesser than 600 euro and 2 liter milk is 2 euro and fresh fruit or vegetables are more expensive than chips or candy and cakes for if you not have worked or if u had a simple job with not much money a hour. that is why you see so many old people looking into garbage and are really poor! I have worked from my 18th till 7 yrs ago i am 51 now, i do have a bit more bc i am not in social wellfare or in germany they call it harz 4 , i can't work anymore just creating art or crochet things! The Netherlands are so unfair for people who are ill or are born with a disabilety and old people (a specially older women) because when you were getting married or got pregnant in de late 60 ties until end 70-ties you were not aloud to keep your job anymore ! My mum had to stop when i was born and married my dad. Why i am writing all this is that it is that everybody thinks that europe is rich. and can buy everything! And i wanted to thank you how you explainwere you work with and giving also cheap or student quality not right away no chance! I see so many very good artists her on YT but when they have to paint with cheap materials they are acting like (that is how i feel about it) may'be it's not even doing that to hurt people . but i feel sometimes like a moron that i have bought something cheap and they say bleee that stuff is shit and it doesn't do what it has to do. Yes those articles are in there too but If you have had a lot of quality paint, brushes pencils or whatever what and your house burns down or blows away, believe me if you are ready building up everything again and finding yourself into a new house but without enough money but with the same passion and idea's a before the disaster happend, you are glad that you can buy at least a cheap article what works than have to wait and wait until you have money enough to buy 1 brush for example! I had all those art stuf build up also for years, i started painting/drawing an crocheting and combine it sometimes at 12! I got it from family, birthday presents, christmas . and when you find a cheap article which is good for you i swear you are really happy that u can do something again! And a specially what you said in this video about the brushes that is so absolutely true. paper and brushes paint and erazers are the most i'm (sorry for my grammatical mistakes i also have that in my own language Dutch) important ! Better a bad pencil than a set of brushes which s**ks! or watercolor paper what is not doing what it has to do. that is frustating ! And there are some new things became populair in the years i wasn't doing not much art anymore, even watching it made me cry! i only had a cheap sketchbook and colorpencils and a hb and a 2b and a sharpener, hobbyknife and an erazer. Thank you for showing me the new watercolors (those shiny pearl like ones) ( love them!! I hope you will go on with making video's like this, and i would say to everybody who is talking bad about brands only because they are from cheap or unknown brands if you don't like the quality please give it to someone who loves art and can't pay it anymore or they do it no more because of a disaster or fire, tornado or whatever. Just at such moments you can draw the things you've seen or what is bothering you.

Thank you so much for making your videos. Finding your channel changed my life.

id love to see an updated version of this

[@helenholt1161]

I really appreciate this. I am newly disabled and am using my now abundant free time to try my hand at something I always wanted to do but was shy to try, art. But being on disability I have limited funds and can't really afford to make many mistakes in my purchases. So thank you.

[@emilyartful]

Helen Holt If you want to try watercolors I highly recommend the prang watercolors! They are very inexpensive (I believe $6) and are a great way to learn!!

[@helenholt1161]

@@emilyartful Thanks! I will definitely try them.

[@helenholt1161]

@@emilyartful is there any chance you meant Prang and it auto corrected to orange?

[@emilyartful]

Helen Holt Fuck my life, yes, that is exactly what I meant 😂

[@spencergoth1cgutz205]

Happy you made an update to your old art supplies I use video :3

Took a break from organizing the new craft room to watch. 🤗

The bee flying randomly was so awesome 😂❤️

Holy crap! Swatch chart laminated and velcro'd onto the underside of the tin. So smart. Mind blown.

[@colby_mua]

Ok I’m shook by the new intro. Love it 💜

Watercolor is the best:)

[@h.b.71c43]

Some of the metallic colors look great on black watercolor paper

[@mattieleerootandpine]

I love love love Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils from Faber Castel - the lead is sooo soft and buttery. I also get single pans and sets of the finetec mica watercolors from jetPens.

[@aquarianmuse1346]

The Fine Tec watercolors are incredible on black paper, I have the same sets, and even the irredescent colors come out completely different on black paper, try it out!

Reagan Bull the 92 dislikes are all the crayola company saying “buy our crappy water color”

[@aliciab4676]

If you don’t want to continuously trim the applicator, dip a brush into detergent/liquid soap before dipping it into the liquid frisket. And make sure you do it between applications. Once you’re done, wash ASAP.

[@js3184]

I’ve probably watched this video 2-6 times this year - this is a great video

[@lesliepantoja1066]

It's rlly sad that artist have to say their not bragging when doing this type of videos :(

[@ladyinblack3398]

In Germany hexagonal pencils are the norm in grade and high school. So everyone is used to them. I had no trouble using the Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils.

[@mikaylacavill7200]

Hi Emily love you thanks for giving me inspiration to start drawing again love the new intro too...💖💖💖💖

[@hooklineandinker]

Thank you for this video! I can't wait to watch all of yours as I'm learning!! 😍

[@divine1657]

I just love the way you speak and express yourself. 🧡 Btw, try the baohong (rough, cp, hp) and paul rubens sketchbooks (hp). They are 300gsm 100% cotton and they are pretty affordable.

[@Gromosapien]

HEYYYY THE ANIMATIONS ARE AWWEEESSOOOMMMEE!!!! Worth the wait man

[@emilyartful]

Gromosapien So glad you think so!! They took so much time but I like how it turned out and glad everyone else does too! I’ve slowly been integrating them into my videos bit by bit to see if everyone is okay with the new style

[@Gromosapien]

Emily Artful Im squirtently not complaining about the new style, youre killing it!

[@kaylastraub8009]

I am currently using a Bee creative mixed media sketchbook and I am in love like 100%. Can’t wait for the review.

[@FelinePoetry]

I have a lot of these supplies, and therefore have almost all of these in my arsenal. However, I never thought to use a Mr.Clean eraser to clean my palette. You've changed my life@

[@wisewomanhealing]

Yes, it's the end of July and I'm just now watching this so maybe you have moved your paints to a palette box that closes. If not however, I have found that an asparagus rubber band works great to hold closed my palettes.

[@according2jessss]

Bee paper also does really good marker paper! If you use copics or anything like that, I can't recommend it enough

[@MoonloreDraws]

According to the Coliro Website (here in Europe, Finetec has rebranded into Coliro Colours!) they say that the colours are highly lightfast, so one can assume they are somewhat archival!

[@eribulusan3771]

For the record, the Pilot color eno lead refill I buy is like a dollar per 6 pieces of lead. Since I don't use it all the time it lasts me sometime before have to buy more.

[@JennaGetsCreative]

I love Bee paper too
