The paints were actually quite vibrant for being so transparent, I like how it turned out.

I actually like the Dollar Tree painting better. The opacity gives it more of a fairytale look. The other one is somewhat flatter.

1st...this was so enjoyable! 2nd...I never graduated from "paint by numbers." 3rd...So nice to know that starting at Dollar Store & Job Lot were worth a go. (I have invested in "cheap" but better than Dollar Store paints) I learned guitar on a Sears & Roebuck but now own a Fender. When I learned what I could the sound was no longer pleasing/rewarding. This has been my experience with painting. Thanks so much for the entertaining & informative video. I shall return!

One thing I find with dollar store paints is that quality varies a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer and from color to color. At my Canadian dollar stores, I can get DecoArt and Acrylique brand paints. They're both surprisingly not horrible. I find that the colors that suffer the most are the fluorescent ones. They have zero opacity, so I have to put a layer of gesso first before applying them over any other color.
@TheBuzzedArtist2 жыл бұрын
That is an excellent point and I would agree with the fluorescent paint colors. Lots of work to get those to show up well!

The best thing about getting in the habit of dollar store materials, is that you get easily impressed by even the slightest bit better quality materials. It’s like a baseball player putting a heavy weighted donut on their bat, so when they take it off, their bat feels much lighter and more controllable than they would feel without using the heavy weighted donut

Pro tip for yall. If you nee to cover a dark color with a lighter one. Start with a misty grey base coat first and then start with building you're color slowly with white/desired color ratio slowly through your coats. So let's do yellow for an example. After got you base coat you want to do a pale yellow on your next coat and with each coat lower your white ratio and raise your yellow ratio until you get the desired opacity.

Based on the comparisons of more expensive paint counterparts, I would say the quality isn’t as bad as I thought. I know lots of people are on budgets when learning to paint and making a $4 investment in paint and brushes sounds less daunting than a $35 one.
