CHEAP watercolor challenge | Art supplies for under $3

[@shreyoshidas4794]

I would have never guessed this is a cheap watercolour set. That's your talent...

[@JaneBeata]

You're too kind!

[@hambot]

Omg i got the exact same set for a video and i was just looking at the painting i did with it and it aged surprisingly well lol. Cant wait for the premiere, Jane!

[@JaneBeata]

Wow did you really? Haha that is a fantastic coincident ❤️❤️ I am looking forward to see the beauty you surely made with it 🌞

[@hambot]

@@JaneBeata it was one of my older videos maybe two years ago? and the colors still looks vibrant, i was shook

[@JaneBeata]

@@hambot ooh must check that one and that is so good to know, maybe all that money spent on high-end supplies are just a waste 😁

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

You did better with $3 paints and cellulose paper than I do with professional paints and cotton paper! I love this!! But I do need to give myself a break. I've only been paining for 1.5 years.

[@JaneBeata]

Ooh glad you like it and yeah dont be so hard on yourself, I already made my peace with things taking time. Its why I find process more enjoyable than end result.

[@LaynieFingers]

Omg, talking about the paper... I found a "watercolor travel sketchbook" on clearance a while back. I'd put it into my watercolor storage box because while I wasn't painting at that moment, I knew I would be soon? Well, I tried painting in it a few days ago and holy crap, if I didn't know better I would think either I was the problem or my paints were bad. Seriously, the color wouldn't move on the paper!! The color would just suck down into the paper immediately- no moving, no blooming, no lifting was possible! I have a tiny sketchbook I made from Dollar Tree index cards, and my watercolors work so much better even on those cheap index cards! I'm not sure what to use that little "watercolor" sketchbook for, but it's definitely not for watercolor!

[@nielossauro]

So goooood! I wish you could redo this painting with your favorite watercolor set. That would be lit.

[@JaneBeata]

haha I might :D Thaaaanks!

[@krabfingers8473]

I had this type of chalky watercolors for a long time. Recently I realized that mixing in some liquid glue in my paint mixture (NOT the washable kind, so the paint doesn't really rewet on the mixing palette once dry) helped the transparency and enabled me to layer them. You did a fantastic job challenging yourself to use the paints!

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you, I had really fun and it was interesting learning experience.

[@ginabadeaux9319]

i have been painting 27 years now ,ive never lost my passion for art ,i used acrylics mostly painting roses with the one stroke ,by donna dewberry ,now im collecting and painting watercolors like crazy .so fun ,i did many portraits from my imagination ,my best one was with a cheap set from michaels ,i have high end paints many of them and cheap ones also ,the deal i got on art whale tubes was the best so far try them ,

[@moonlightgator]

Definitely makes me appreciate good art supplies. I only have a few but at least I have them. My advice if you work a small format- the expensive art supplies will last much longer.

[@NanaBeth1]

Wow-your artwork is fantastic! Proof it is the artist not the materials that make the difference.

[@JaneBeata]

Many thanks 🌞

[@princesslouly5121]

It's so awesome how you took something for kids and something cheap into a masterpiece 💖💖💖. I am not sure but I think that these watercolors are dye based since they are very transparent almost like ink mixed with water if you know what I mean. Something I really try to cope with is that where i live it is hard to get your hands on high quality paint like Daniel Smith of course we have nice quality paints but they don't have the Properties of high quality paints have like light fastness and effects my art alittle. Lots of love from Egypt

[@JaneBeata]

Of course, it doesnt matter all that much if you have the best quality supplies really, you can make the best of the supplies you actually can get your hands on :) Have fun with your painting!

[@princesslouly5121]

@@JaneBeata thanks very much 💗💗💗

[@jessicameisner8487]

Wow! I can see the struggle you had w the paints with the flow, opacity and fillers obviously in this "amazing" set. But I still love the end result and your experience with watercolors as well as your signature style shine through. I used a crappy set myself last summer trying to imitate this watercolor artist Terri Harrison's style (landscapes - not my preferred 😉. I am pulled to portraits). Anyway despite this painting wonder I opened up my sketchbook a year later and it wasn't half bad. I keep telling myself - I got the skills!

[@JaneBeata]

You go! Hehe, enjoy your practice Jessica ;)

[@elisadinsmore231]

The "drawing your art in my style" challenge is quite prevalent with a lot of KZbin artists. If you search by the quoted phrase above, you'll see a lot of results. I very much like seeing artists interpretations of other artists' work. 💗 This came out amazing!

[@JaneBeata]

Yes but most of them outdated. I was hoping for a new one, but probably will repaint old art in the end. Thanks for watching!

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Wooowww, so incredible the results you were able to get with such inexpensive paint! Really does show that the paper and your skill matter so much more compared to the paint itself. You are so encouraging to beginning artists!

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you so much!

[@amberdreams_0]

I don't think I'm ready to do wonders with terrible supplies yet LOL. Impressed with your results though!

[@JaneBeata]

Thank youu!

[@Ro-chan1]

oh I didn't know you had to wet them, it may sound unbelievable buy I never nor I was taught how to properly use watercolor. I always wonder why the expensive ones look wet while the cheap ones look stale 😅 Glad I stumble upon this video while I'm retrying to do watercolor as a hobby

[@alba3377]

You are fantastic! I'm very grateful to have found your videos. I'm just wishing to have more time and energy to dedicate to myself and start learning watercolor painting with you in your patreon. I love watercolors but most of the time the results are not as satisfying as I'd like them to be. You are such an inspiration. Thank you!

[@JaneBeata]

Oh dont beat yourself up, watercolor can be really a tricky problem to tackle before you realize that there is no point in fighting it and that all that’s left is to work with it and observe what happens. Wish you lots of fun during the discovery process 🌞

[@alba3377]

This was truly beauty! I wanted to try watercolouring cause my mom bought me a cheap watercolouring set that has stayed untouched throughout the years so I'm challenging myself now! This helped alot and your masterpiece at the end was everything ❤

[@CreativePhenomenonArt]

Wow. Very beautiful.

[@JaneBeata]

Thank youu :)

[@kikithepupper6774]

wow its beautiful. who needs overly expensive art supply if the artist is amazing i

[@BlancaVarguesArt]

Amazing art work. Lovely watercolor😍😍

[@INTHEDIGITALFOREST]

The video was so much fun to watch! The painting looks so beautiful :) I was so surprised by this set, those reds are very pigmented :0 i had a similar palette as a kid, and i wonder what i could create with it now after all these years painting with more expensive brands.

[@JaneBeata]

You could try it out too, it was great experience for me :)

[@entchen6676]

interesting what you say about the flow of the cheap colours. I'm completely new to painting and have been following a lot of tutorials and while i'm aware that i have neither skills nor practice yet, i have been wondering how the first drop of paint on the paper could already look so different between mine and the tutorial, when we haven't even really done anything yet. So i'll take comfort in the thought that some of my struggles might not be due to me doing anything wrong and be more patient about not being able to copy all the techniques perfectly

[@khuteihc]

This video deserves so much!

[@JaneBeata]

Thank youu :)

[@bevybee2012]

Maybe because I am not a watercolorist, but I think this painting is fabulous for cheap watercolor

[@ralphcrosby9622]

I have a cheap set that I sometimes paint florals with. It was the starter set my wife bought me when she was trying to help me, with my health issues. They not nearly the quality of my other paints.

[@JaneBeata]

Hav fun with it Ralph :)

[@ralphcrosby9622]

@@JaneBeata I pull it out once a week or so and use it. It was given to me.

Важно не то чем рисует мастер, а как он рисует. Это действительно работает всегда и везде, дешёвые материалы в руках искусного акварелиста становятся дороже в 10 раз, а то и больше. У тебя есть чему поучится

Art piece 🤩🤩😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

[@idkmyname6235]

her: cheap art supplyes also her: uses special watercolor paper

[@JaneBeata]

So? My goal with clearly stated and it was the particular paints. Besides, if you use too many new supplies at once, you can't really tell which one is the reason you're painting is going south. This way, since you know your paper, you can feel how the paints work.

[@thebookdragonmom]

You must have felt the difference in the paints but as for me as a viewer unless you explained it, the painting looked great and the quality didn’t make a difference

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you Priyanka, that is so great to hear. I probably tried harder than I would with my regular watercolors 🌞

[@zwsiol]

May I ask where you got the watercolor kit from? like the name? I’m trying to search it and I can’t find it 😢

[@JaneBeata]

I said it at the very beginning of the video, I bought it in local stationary store, it can be only a local supply and it was very cheap, just buy something similar in any local store.

[@dandelionmosssycamore8218]
