“It’s so pretty mommy...can I try? I’ll be extra careful and gentle” that made me cry! You have such wonderful sweet kids 💕

[@aptalsandvic5355]

Your kids at school: Teacher: This is blu- Kid: That's not blue. İt's cyan. Teacher: Yeah it might be different kind of blue but it's still blue. Anyway, this is red... Kid: No, that is a crimson red. Teacher: What on the earth...

Your paint making videos are always so relaxing to watch, but when your kids came in to help swatch it just made my day! They seem like sweet hearts and it’s nice to see you let them swatch the paints and help out! Genuinely heart warming.

[@dilonnarutherford2182]

Hey there Arlee! I have some pointers for you, as I used to work for Windsor Newton, and Sennelier mechanical department (AKA fixing the milling machines, and I learned a LOT about paint consistency and proper mixing) from what was I see from your videos and your paint texture, it looks like you have too much liquid binder, giving your paint a runny consistency. Your paint should stay put on the mixing panel and should not "Fuyez" (a term used by Sennelier paint makers that I picked up, basically means the paint is running away because there's too much liquid, lol). It should sit on your palette like honey, and "relax" slowly, that's how you know you have proper consistency, with maximum pigment load. Obviously, your paint is your preference- I just thought I would help! Loved the video

[@izabelaswa85]

can i ask sth? Are those paints much cheaper?

[@dilonnarutherford2182]

@@izabelaswa85 sennelier paint? Oh God no, they're professional grade. Same with Windsor & Newton.

[@izabelaswa85]

@@dilonnarutherford2182 I mean self made paints

[@izabelaswa85]

@@dilonnarutherford2182 so, are self made paints much cheaper than bought ones? Sorry for bothering u but i wanted to know coz i dont have a lot of money (im boying my art supplies on chinas websites where theyre a lot cheaper than in regular stores, I also wait for promotions or cupon codes so i wont spend my all money on art supplies) so maybe ill think about making my own paint too?

[@dilonnarutherford2182]

@@izabelaswa85 self making your paints can actually have more initial expenses. Because you have to buy all the supplies to make the paint, bulk pigments can cost upwards of $20 for a jar, and even more rare pigments can cost more. So, in the long run, you'll save money, because you'll be making a ton of paint, but the downside is, you'll have a ton of only one color. So, PROS:, you'll know what's going into your paint, you can control the pigment load, and the quality, also you'll have a ton of paint, and it's very rewarding to make your own paint. CONS: a high initial Cost, such as $15+ for a single pigment, and $15+ for a binder, and then anywhere between $10-$30 for ox gal, or good quality Honey, $50+ for a paint muller, and anywhere between $0-$100 for a glass slate for mulling the paint. So, you're looking from anywhere between $50-$300+ for initial costs of supplies; and most times - as Arlee has said- you'll end up with more paint than you need/can use in a lifetime haha. I recommend that you hold off on making your own paint if are having financial trouble, it's definitely not something you want to get into if you're having a hard time with Money. If you're patient, I guess you could start collecting pigments in small quantities now. Just get them whenever you have some money, and slowly build up your collection, that's what I did. Also you're not bothering me, I'm happy to help!

[@abbimorin9936]

“can i try? i’ll be extra extra careful and gentle!” your child is so so sweet. i just randomly clicked on this video and i’m an artist so this was super interesting to me to see the process of where paints come from! amazing!!!

[@TepidJudas]

I forgot how much I loved the internal narration of the glass muller as it sought freedom.

[@np5388]

SAME 😂😂😩😩

[@zainabsiddique706]

we need more videos like this to soothe our depressing souls 😍

[@danieljamesbinderystu2968]

When I make my po49 quin gold watercolor, you have to premix your po49 pigment with gum dextrin, to stop it from floculating in the gum arabic binder mix. It is an extremely active pigment. I don't use dextrin in any of my watercolors, except in anything that I put po49 in. I do use gum dextrin when I make gouache, so I always have it on hand. Have a good one

[@chabelllita]

Your kids are the sweetest! Your such a sweet mother!

[@fooledtook]

Wait...SIX hours? Oh yikes. That sounds like such a headache. No wonder you were feeling defeated. Hope your next paint making day goes better! (Nice Solas shirt, btw!)

[@sophiamia5456]

Your kids are the cutest!!!

[@HoppieDoppie]

“ can I try? I’ll be extra careful and gentle” AAHHHHH THATS SO CUTE. I could practically hear the puppy eyes through the screen, that one must be hard to bargain with aha! So cute

[@judichristopher4604]

16:06 I think if I remember correctly (it has been many years) that if you mix THIS Pigment with a little water first, make a wet paste.... really good, then it will mix with the binder better, and less time to maul.

[@zainabqureshi9334]

Wow. Now I know why handmade paints cost more 💛💛 I have sooo much respect for you! 💛💛💛 loved the video 🙌🏼

[@Yunnie.f1]

“I know my colors” My heart melted when they said that❤️

[@evenmegan]

Why are some colours easier to mull than others? Also you've got some smart kids! (:

[@felisukeA]

The pigments

[@bishopriecke1514]

Some pigments bind faster, while others take longer/require more work. It depends on what the pigments were made out of for how well they can soak up the medium.

[@sev2981]

arleesha! tysm for making these videos; easily my favorite “series” for lack of a better word :p they’re so relaxing & informative. it really peels back the layers on the hidden art of paint making.

[@Avacadoloco]

Yo this is low key asmr, i love it

[@nefritee8614]

Those kids... my heart

[@FarlyCreates]

SIX hours?! Goodness! What an interesting video to watch the behind the scenes of watercolors! Great video!

[@mariacrane4511]

You have such a soothing voice! I love the orange that you made, even if it took hours and hours to mull.

[@mantispire6829]

That saffron is STUNNING -- I love the look of the mixed pigments!!

[@BrooHow3167]

I am so happy KZbin recommended this for me. I am utterly obsessed with this series ❤️

[@xrainey]

I'm only 6 minutes in but I'm already loving this SO much. ugh the mixing sounds with the palette knife are so good

[@anam00090]

Love the ochre-ish hues in the end, looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process and being upfront about everything 😊

[@ModernMetaphysicae]

"Extra extra careful and gentle!" Too cute! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@samanthanicholson9015]

Glycerin helps blend in binder powder as alcohol helps paint disperse. That's a pretty color.

[@theogexol1630]

Okayyyy your kids are literal sweeties. Omg such sweethearts. When they talked I think I was melting away in a puddle!

[@mpregfics]

The swatch with different colors actually looks so good as a set!

[@Mosssyman]

This was so much fun. I watched this while eating dinner. A very nice hangout video

[@jtbmetaldesigns]

I’ve had my eye on pigment yellow 53. Primarily because it’s inorganic and probably easy to disperse and somewhat cheap. This video is the first time I’ve seen this pigment wet. To me it sits half way between hansa yellow light( lemon yellow) and yellow iron oxide. The natural green tint speaks to me. The whole color is soft and a little muted. Like it’s even a tertiary color like citron.

[@mussivyyt1390]

I love the sweetness in you! For some reason your videos always show how nice and sweet you’re

[@Anonymous2743]

that quin gold is SOOOO gorgeous! i hope you can make it work, even mixed with the yellow pigment it was stunning!

[@kdees4713]

You inspire me. I love hearing the kids.

[@estefaniacastillo2322]

Please continue sharing, when it's good, the process and when things go wrong. 😊 It's so nice to see the real process. And to se you. And to learn from you

[@BChiquedTreasures]

“it’s so pretty mommy” MY HEART

[@eierkarton]

the yellow makes such nice pastels!

[@thegammakat]

I honestly so deeply love hearing the process of making the paint. The sounds are just so comfortably tactile and I wish there were more videos like this online.

[@cnd140]

What a sweet little boy! I loved how he was respectful of your paint, and that he knew he needed to be careful in your studio. Great job, Mom 🥰🥰

#FreeTheGlassMuller

[@celagail]

I really enjoyed the video! It’s interesting to learn and see what all goes into making wc paint. Sorry to hear you had such a hard time with that new pigment! The mixed quin gold color turned out nice! It kinda looks like a gamboge. Mulling the original quin gold pigment into paint sounds like a lot of work! If you happen to make some of the quin gold, though, it’d be awesome to know how it turned out! Thanks for the vid! 💕

[@dalillara9321]

Sooooo satisfying 🤤

[@bohobrain]

So cool to see your process! I just started a studio vlog myself.

[@ellenhepworth7261]

I love this series, I find your videos so relaxing to watch. After you've filled the pans for the first time, how do you keep the remaining paint wet for the final pour into the pans?

[@paytonmattern3956]

I hope that one day I can be half the artist you are. I love these type of videos and basically all your other ones!!!

[@meilline3616]

When you first mall the read it's so pretty

[@AyaSmith]

Great video babe, very informative and visually entertaining :) your kids voices made me tear up 💓

[@nrich5127]

Very informative as always - I noticed the Qor's Aquazol Ox Gal liquid is shown in the video but not listed in the ingredients. I researched and it 's a Liquid preparation medium for wetting painting surfaces; aids color flow.

[@jengoodwyn2715]

Quin gold takes SIX HOURS???! Brutal! I have a greater appreciation for the colour now.

[@kennnyb0]

Your kids are so cute!!! ❤

[@alexism.1701]

Lemon yellow is my favorite yellow of all time I use it in ever single painting even if the painting doesn’t have yellow there is lemon yellow in it

[@rottenegg8642]

your smile is so precious omg

[@oreo_6206]

A wonderful video!I love your positive attitude,and the q&a was very helpful. ッ

[@asmartfoodie]

Idk if it was intentional but the asmr vibes in this video are so real and I appreciate it lol.

[@ThatKid2422]

You should absolutely make and sell a palette of the colors you find most essential for mixing, where with just a few colors you can get a range of different colors and tones I would buy it in a heartbeat 😍

[@ihaveamillioncookies]

Your kiddos are too cute. ❤

[@Zay878]

Great vid! How do you find out the mixing ratios?? i'm just getting started and i got some pigments from japan so i wondered if you knew

[@brpk9377]

I have kiddophobic problem and your kid, just hearing his angelic compliment melt my heart(for a brief moment before the terror strikes back😞😞😞).

[@AslansAngel1]

Ugh. I'm with you, sister. I LOATHE wearing gloves when I'm painting or sculpting. I've been really bad and even taken them off while using resin clay. I just can't keep the clay from sticking to the gloves. I scrub my hands afterward really good with lava soap, and hope to God that it takes all the toxins off of me. Hubby points out that the paint that I get on my hands has a warning on it: "This product contains a chemical known in the state of California to cause cancer." I reply, "But I live in NJ." He doesn't find that humorous. Again, I use the lava soap right after.

[@Kimo0tJJ]

That is such a beautiful color

[@FayeWulf]

As a nurse... I hate wearing gloves and face masks too.. It just a totally different sensation when using your hands and also it gets so hot so I get what you mean (I still do wear them if I have to so both my patients and I are safe). I can hear you breathing like darth vader, hahahahahaa. That colour really reminds me of a nice cream tone or a buff titanium with just a pinch of yellow in it. So beautiful. Awwwww, your children are always so cute!!

[@4clover682]

What a relaxing video

[@chelseatheatre]

i know its not about looks but your so cute! loving your freckles!

[@bbrattzzz]

"its soo pretty mommyyyy" my heart MELTED

[@luckysmokerings666]

Man it was so cool and calming to watch you mix paints. Makes me want to try it so bad but I don't have the space or time really. Also what cartridges are you using on your respirator? Regular dust cartridges?

[@allycat8333]

Great question.

[@dvndelion2218]

cute and lovely kiddos

[@navyboymommygramma]

Omg! Who knew paint making was so dangerous haha. Sorry you had such a rough day though. I learned something from you though so all you efforts were well worth the trouble 😁 I had been wondering why people were mulling their paints for so long. I had also wondered how to fix the problem I was having of my paint rubbing off lightly. Hmmmm I do believe I have the answer so, thank you very much.I just wish it hadn't cost you so dearly. And your kid! How cute was that?! I almost died, " Oh, I thought it was Cyan" , too much cute right there. 🤗

[@lillithmclachlan7979]

Hi! New sub here 😊 I really love your sense of humour. Don’t give up, it’s really inspiring watching you.
