Price Points Chalkboard Artist Explains Her Process | Epicurious

[@Goatbeez]

You listened to popular demand. Excellent work.

[@michellemuskeyn329]

Yes! But what we REALLY want to see is cheap vs expensive CHALK with this girl! A whole episode!!

[@afrotiffy]

@Joe Geezer it was one of the top comments on every single Price Points video until they listened and did this video a year ago. So yes, it was popular demand.

[@WonnieWon04]

Epicurious always listen to comments.

Quick time lapse, then the expert walks in just like this. It's a perfect opening. Make it happen please!

[@DanteYewToob]

Omg. Ro is a baller! Goes to work, to do *chalk art* in a black shirt. Doesn't even care. Leaves with a clean shirt. Damn. Forget the art.. _that_ takes serious skill! Haha

[@roknightchalkartistnewyork6203]

danteelite Oh you made me laugh so hard. Thanks!

[@michellemuskeyn329]

I think she is using oil chalks so not so dusty. But still, mad skill!

[@pendlera2959]

@@michellemuskeyn329 She has Prismacolor Nupastels, Blick pastels, Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils, Prang Pastello chalks, and two more boxes I can't identify. All of those I mentioned are dry chalk pastels. She also has Sofft tools, which are used for blending dry pastels. I highly doubt she's using any oil pastels. Some artists are just good at staying clean. It also helps that she's working on a vertical surface rather than sitting at a desk.

The Price Points videos are excellent to begin with...interesting AND educational. The artwork really takes them over the top though...it adds an element of quality and style that a digitally created image on a green screen couldn't even begin to come close to. Really well done to Ro and everybody involved!

[@HumbertoRamosCosta]

In a time that everything is photoshoped... It's great to see some 'real' stuff. Her art is a very important part of your`s videos.

[@caleb1722]

are you aware of the fact that photoshop is an art too? It's not like digital drawings appear from nothing, an artist has to design and color them too just like she designs her paintings

[@immaterialboy6806]

@Caleb Herondale oh come on, yes of course graphic design and digital art is still art. It’s just nice to see something classic from time to time, something that isn’t computer generated, something a lot more physical and tangible.

[@eigengrau7698]

@@immaterialboy6806 well said 👏

[@Prismaticist]

@@immaterialboy6806 yeah but is that what humberto ramos costa meant though? you don't know.

[@anhhuynhkimnguyen6793]

_paper C U P_ You really said computer generated haha, you shouldn’t refer to digital art with that term, as a previous commenter said, digital artists don’t just sit in front of a monitor watching the art unfold. Digital artists deserves so much more credits, and respect. Seriously, you’d be surprised at how some people get so disappointed when I tell them I draw digitally. And there are still great traditional artists out there you know, a lot can be found on the internet if you know where to look.

"Since I'm a professional I use the good quality chalk, not the kids stuff"

[@michaelproctor5393]

At the end of every video include a time lapse of the creation of the wall please!!!

[@Loebane]

Oh that's a good idea! Some people wouldn't like seeing it at the beginning and might complain about having to skip it. Excellent suggestion!

[@chris-hayes]

@@Loebane Agreed!

[@abominablyawsm]

They could have the suggested videos off to one side or down along the bottom (smaller thumbnails maybe) with the time lapse in the background. Use it as their end credits scene. And then the end frame of the video could be JUST the finished chalkboard.

[@thisismylovehandle]

She should just make her own KZbin channel.
