Haha I love these. The “zebra plant” looks a lot like a snake plant which might be what you were goin for. The smaller zebra plant is a succulent while the bigger one is a leafy houseplant, two completely different things. Loved how this turned out tho :D the little gardener person is so cuteee

[@Artsy-kayla]

waffles, a tip for the white spaces showing through the painting is going over your canvas before you paint with a Watered down color of your choice! (I usually use raw umber, but any color works!) XP

I absolutely loved how you are trying paints! I haven’t really gone near paints or anything because I had no experience whatsoever (and I was afraid I’d waste heaps of supplies) but you don’t even know how much inspiration you have given me, and others! Thank you for making these lovely videos 💗💗 :D

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

that makes me so happy to hear! i hope you give it a try if you are feeling inspired to!

[@blythe5603]

I've always had major art fear. It helps if you tell yourself that if you already have the supplies, not using them is wasting them more than trying something new!

[@alex-xf2jf]

Did you think the crayons you used as a child to make scribbles was a waste? No. You cant get good at something without practice and USING supplies.(not wasting)

[@bookshelfhoney]

You can always buy cheap supplies and mess around with them just to try stuff out - but I personally think it's better to buy not the cheapest stuff because that can just be frustrating to use (like dollar store paints can be bad sometimes) but you only need a couple of colors to start with :)

[@Rebnobfulroar]

The only time an art supply is wasted is if it isn't used c:

[@nellieb6585]

Hi Rin, I'm new to your channel and I just wanted to say you're an inspiration to me as a new artist. I was super intimidated by how much I needed to learn and scared that I'd never be good enough but drawing along with you really made art less scary and more fun and I've learned a lot from watching the way you approach art an creativity. Thanks for the bonus video, enjoy the rest of your week and may *you* have a delicious evening full of waffles!

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

you've warmed my heart! Welcome to the channel. Hope it continues to bring you joy and inspiration!

[@domvalentine9137]

when i used to do a lot of painting, i would always avoid black as much as possible for darkening colors ! it just deadens and desaturates the hell out of everything usually. i found i got much more lively and fun results if i used like a dark red or purple or blue

Hi Rin, I just want to tell you that you are a part of the reason I pick up the pencil and start drawing. You inspire me and ever since I started watching your videos I became much more of a better artist. You are amazing , kind and talented and you helped many people like me too and I hope you know that. Also anybody else reading this, Have a great Tuesday!

[@morganm4040]

I like your painting videos a lot, I like that you show that you can just try things and play and learn. Priming the canvas could smooth out the texture and prevent those white dots where the paint isn't in the divets. Thinner paints sink into texture more as well.

[@BleepBlorp11]

the crab from the other page in the sketchbook is really doing it for me

[@siberianknight]

Great video as always! Not sure if anyone has answered your question about the boxes on the paint tubes, but here's a run-down: filled in box - opaque, half filled in box - semi opaque, and empty box is transparent. Royal Talens (the parent company that makes those paints you got) has a special semi-transparent symbol of the line in an empty box. It just basically means it's a little less transparent than a pain that's fully transparent. :)

[@DogFlamingoXIII]

I took two semesters of painting at a community college, and the only thing the teacher would tell us is that we should paint and would learn as we did. There were no lessons about techniques or products (though we only used acrylic) even mixing colors. It was all about composition and ideas. I came out with an A in both classes and zero education in painting. I learned more about using acrylic paint from this video than I did in two semesters of that class. Honestly I learned more in the part where you painted your sketch, while swatching than I did in that class. I am so glad that people now have artists like you who are willing to teach, becasue not all teachers are willing to do it.

[@luv.kassandra2458]

Your videos make me happy. I love art and plants.

[@ekamarie6632]

As someone who has over 200 plants I found it absolutely adorable when you said the zebra aloe was a baby of tropical zebra plant. And then was like unless it’s a completely different plant. Which it is but it was cute and I could totally see how many ppl could think that.

[@Strawberries1994]

tips for acrilic.. use a diluyent or water.. that helps to have more control over the paint and helps to cover the white texture. If the paint isn't opaque enough, start with the light colors. Block the colors first (like cell-shading), when you have all the colors you can start blending if you want and rendering things You would enjoy it more this way, take your time.. paint is something to relax haha Your last approach is the right approach. Watch the video again and look how calmed and slow you did the girl and how caotic and fast you did the plant

[@cciiaa]

i’ve been watching for years & never comment but just figured i’d share my first thought when i just realized rin uploaded; i love this beautiful human. thank you for always making my day

[@wrongturnVfor]

OOoh 4 min, I have never been so early to a video. Oh and the word is "taper" - the slope-y thing the fine liner does when you get closer to the nib. OOh and the brush is a filbert :)

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

THATS THE WORD! thank you. 💜💜💜💜

[@baananajam]

I was thinking of the word “conical” but tapered is better 10/10

[@wrongturnVfor]

@@drawingwiffwaffles Most Welsome. I just wanna say that I was always a landscape artist and painted/drew nature-y things , mostly plants and maybe a few birds nd fish, maybe some still art- but never other animals or humans - ever. And for the longest time I just thought I was bad at illustration and portraits without having tried any, But your channel was a game changer. It always feels like we are on a ride inside your creative brain during each video and I got to understand the process and see why people were interested in character design and stuff. It actually made me want to try character design and I loved it and quickly progressed to portraits of pets and now I am attempting the first human portrait ever. I also didnt use acrylics. I would use watercolours, oil past5els, charcoal, pencil colours and oil paints but not acrylics. And I tried them out for the pet portraits after watching you dabble and I actually like them. Soo thanks! Please please make more acrylic paint videos.

[@kelseykennedy7148]

I just found out that my nephew has Cystic fibrosis (CF) His older sister already had it but he was showing good signs that he wouldn't have it. I've been crying for the last hour but your video took my mind off of it and made me feel much better. Thank you so much rin.

[@sofiasandoval9109]

Ah Waffles! I love the artworks! I’ve been painting since I was little but I started to lose my love for it. Your videos have helped me get back into it. Thank you

Me too! I've been watching Rin for YEARS!!! I too had lost my love for art and creativity to the busy-ness of life. But Rin's videos put that love and passion back in me and I have started purchasing and building up my art supplies. I've been doing art a few days a week and I've improved sooooooo much recently all because I found Rin and she put that drive back in me!

[@caitkat9186]

I absolutely love watching your videos!! I especially love how you showed the process with the original zebra plant to show that not all art is “perfect” or turns out as planned. It’s definitely helping me with experimenting with different mediums and just testing things out

I have been following you for a few years, but for the past 2 1/2 years I have been in college and working on my business and haven’t had much time to watch art videos. I recently started devoting saturdays to art only for “time” and I came on this morning to watch a few videos, and I am blown away by how much you have grown! When I first started following you, you were nowhere near the amount of followers you have now, and you were getting about 16-20k views per video. You have really grown and I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work!!!!

[@lylarasco1498]

I find it so interesting how Rin uses acrylic paint vs how I use it. Like she mixes almost every color. I’m very guilty of buying paint colors that look pretty or buying lots of variants instead of just mixing the primaries (even though I know how to). Rin is also very blobby with her first couple layers vs for what ever reason my brain is convinced I can’t do that 😂 it’s just interesting to watch and I kinda want to try it and get back into art again

[@lornawestwick6704]
