join me on an art retreat to France this September! uptrek.com/retreat/fairytale-...
hello my friends 🤍 in today's video, we will be trying out 4 combinations of art supplies for a budget of $20 each. I wanted to see if it was possible to create good art, or find good supplies for such a small budget, and I ended up having so much fun testing all these paints out!

I think a beginner artist starting out with drawing, (and with the patience for shading) usually can make great art. When I started 5 years ago, I was bad at proportions, but extremely good at shading because I have the patience of a monk lol

[@jada-leighmcgregor5168]

Will forever recommend Prang semi-moist watercolours as a beginner set. Highly pigmented and you can get them for $6-7 depending where and where you purchase. I have higher quality pricier sets now and I still reach for Prang frequently

[@jennyjumpjump]

I'm a watercolor artist. Here's my recommendation for a beginner set that is surprisingly good quality and cheap!!!

[@samanthaschurter747]

In the city where I live there are two places to buy used art supplies. It is a great way to find quality art supplies at an affordable price or to test a new medium.

I don't rely on Michael's for art supplies. I know they have a tonne of coupons all the time but I can't help but wonder why they mark everything up in the first place.

[@Yorea]

When I wanted to try oil paints I bought winsor and newton waterbased oil paints and I love them! I started with red, yellow, blue, black and white and it's a great way to learn to mix colours as well :) Honestly I don't really know if I would buy any other colours outside of these.

Michael's is horrible with the price gouging! I saw that Amazon had a 9×12 Arches paper pad for $20.43.... Michael's had it for $29.96! And the Manager refused to price match me too! Even Hobby Lobby had it for under $20 as well! Just wanted to share this tidbit!

[@fisevil]

I can hear everything fine, I dont know about others

[@dl4172]

This was such an informative and interesting video! I'm a digital painter who's been longing to get into traditional painting and really struggling to know where to start. There's so many mediums and options open and with the prices of all the supplies it's very intimidating to choose, so I've been putting it off. Not only did your video show me that budget supplies can be practical and yield decent results, but I also learned the type of paints I've been wanting to find to recreate the same look and texture I use when working digitally.

[@FesJ]

I always come back to this video just to watch you paint with those turner acrylics. the painting you did with those is amazing, it has such a pleasant look to it.

[@jeafinkner2490]

“We don’t stand with hobby lobby” love you for saying that!11

[@39Bosski]

Sitting home bored and ready to paint, I decided to look up cheap supply challenges and this gem of a video popped up. Really enjoyed it. When you mentioned Jerry's I was hooked. I love them (discovered them by watching other art videos.) This was such a fun video I had to subscribe. Can't wait to see more.

[@aminaa5824]

I just found this channel and wow I love love love your art style, idk why but it makes me imagine all these girls live in a fairytale fantasy land

[@penutbutterpickles]

I'm not really a big paint person, however, growing up, I did use whatever I could find. notebook paper/printer paper, pens, and Crayola were some of my favorites, and even now I still gravitate towards those supplies when I feel an art block coming on.

[@danrazART]

Stunning!

[@dummybear6772]

I'm one of the beginner who splurged on large amounts of mediums that i saw on social media and I truly regret that. I have these expensive art supplies that I'm scared to use, and now I feel guilty, like they're being wasted.

[@ambyes]

This was so informative! I’ve never known much about oils. Loved this!

[@stephaniecrossman2864]

That watercolor painting is absolutely gorgeous! I love your art style 🫶

[@mjpete27]

Hullo Sara, I believe that you were overly optimistic about a $20.00 budget! Soft pastels are the most expensive art supply I have ever tried! I do not believe that you can even try that medium under $100.00! I have a firm belief that beginners can do wonderful artwork and the best start you can give yourself use the best surface you can! I have enjoyed working with water soluble oils but use water ONLY for clean up! Use a medium for mixing and a water soluble oil medium for thinning and keeping to the fat over lean rule. I have been looking for videos featuring Chelsea Lavender spike oil as a substitute for mineral spirits or the dreaded turpentine! I hope you consider doing a video on that supply. I am truly impressed by your style and artworks! I am curious about your opinions about the Chelsea line of products? Thank you for sharing your amazing art under $20 creations! Truly wonderful!
