the broke artist guide // creating with crayola markers

Welcome to my Broke Artist's Guide series, where I occasionally share my favorite materials, hacks, and tricks for creating amazing art on a budget!
Creating art on a budget doesn’t mean sacrificing quality or creativity! In this video, I’m sharing how I love using Crayola Markers-an affordable, vibrant, and versatile tool for adding color to your drawings and mixed media projects.
These markers are perfect for budget-conscious artists! At just $3.50 a pack, they’re a guilt-free way to explore your creativity without breaking the bank.
Remember, you don’t need a big budget to make art!

Really heartwarming to see a creator using budget friendly, easily accessible supplies. Creativity does not have a price tag. Oftentimes the simplest of equipment yields the greatest results.

[@Carebear1881]

I love this! I'm a beginner and sometimes when I get expensive supplies I don't want to "waste" them on my very beginner art. This feels very doable and eliminates that fear. Thanks for sharing!

[@rashone2879]

Super! It’s so nice to see a video presenter who talks to us “poor” artists who don’t always have lots of money to spend on the highest quality materials. I work on a table in the corner of my living room. It’s discouraging to watch videos with artists who have enormous Studios with endless expensive supplies. Well, I do sometimes choose hire materials for final art, it’s a really great to have other materials that are affordable.

[@Angel-Ink5]

I love this, we can't all afford all the super expensive supplies, this is so helpful 😍

[@debbiesimpson4695]

Wonderful, the word budget in art supplies i have never heard of that? That you give us more budget idears. PPPPPlease

[@jodycourt]

You are the Queen of Contrast! I wouldn't have thought to edge that spread with the black and fade it. Lovely. I enjoy watching you create.

[@alisakburke]

LOL! That was a last minute decision! I had to sneak one more little bit of contrast in!

[@debbief4312]

Love seeing the magic you bring to the Crayola markers. Yep, the black outline makes everything POP! Looking forward to the series to see what else you have up your sleeve!

[@robinsutton4952]

I love this spread. Love my Crayola Markers. Start of every school year I get two/three new packs. I’m 68 and wouldn’t buy any others. New Crayola crayons were the one indulgence my mom would spend “her hard earned money” on. One Christmas my grandma bought me a 64 count pack. Those were coveted and not shared with coloring buddies. Sorry, I digress. May have to break out my markers now. Thanks for sharing.

[@heyjude85]

This makes for an "easy" art journal page! Impressive! Love that Crayolas are water soluble!

[@claireskey5439]

Hey Alisa ❤ I love crayola. Readily available, pretty cheap and whether pencils, markers or the famous crayons, they smell great, too. Happy Crafting 🇦🇺💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@LarimarTide]

Love this, Crayola products are so underrated in the art/art journaling/journaling online community 🥰

[@serenityjewel]

I get more compliments on art I doodle with $1.25 highlighters from Dollar Tree than I do on my "real" artwork created with my very expensive supplies. People love light, colorful, fun art and my highlighter doodles fit that 100%. My real art is great but requires focused attention. This world with all its pulls for our attention is draining. Sometimes people - me included - just want to smile at pretty, no thought required.

[@shonda_livesjoyfully]

❤ thank you so much. I have water soluble markers at home and didn't even think of doing this. Love it😊

[@toxicityisforalesson]

I'm really good with markers but I would have NEVER thought of this! I love it. I have heard of people using markers for watercolor BUT I haven't ever seen it done. I'M ALL IN! 💪💪💪💪 You have been a great inspiration today!🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thanks so very MUCH!

[@elizabethrowe5960]

Thanks. Someone gave me a box of "kiddy" art supplies, and I've been wondering what to do with the stuff I've never used, like markers and oil pastels. The crayons, now, I may just melt down for candles 😊

[@napuasumida1582]

Very impressive! So glad I stumbled upon your video.

[@MissChelle]

Beautiful! What type of paper is in your sketchbook? Seems to be holding the water really well! 🫶🇦🇺

[@kimbranson3374]

Amazing artwork, Alisa 🥰 Very Inspirational! Would you mind sharing what type of paper you used? There are so many layers of markers and water in this piece that I’m surprised there are no areas that are pilling! Thank you 😊

[@shirleypando]

Just beautiful! Thank you for showing us how accessible it is to create art with a few cheaper tools.😊

[@KellBell123]

Wow, so talented ! Enjoy seeing beautiful artwork with bargain supplies.

[@tinybird2413]

Crayolas are my favorite "secret weapon" for making vibrant pictures in my sketchbooks.

[@martinaodell2866]

Love Crayola ❤

[@junimondin]

Thank you for your tutorials. ❤

[@moniquebreau71]

Love this! Can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to us next.🥰

[@lynneclark1212]

WOW!! This is absolutely beautiful!! 😊

[@b7b-o7f]

Wow! That's soooo cool!😁 Thank you 😊 I look forward to seeing your future videos 😊

[@auntiemame7076]

You are always so inspiring and creative. Thank you.

[@jerrygill4828]

I just am amazed at your patience…to just keep on going. I can’t doodle because I get bored. How I wish I had some of your patience.

[@juliacastro8928]

Beautiful, I had a question,what sketchbook are you using? I’m looking for one that resists alot of mediums on it.

[@NanaKaye]

Absolutely stunning

[@TT-kg3li]

I’m off to buy some crayons markers. Wow so happy you came into my algorithm. 😘

[@mariannegrioche8582]

Thanks a lot for all you share ! once again it's just gorgeous and not posh...there are so many artists that think everybody can or should buy expensive supplies in order to make real art...I think we're all looking forward to discovering next "broke artists" ideas !

[@carrie8751]

You did a great job. Love it.👍❤️😊

[@SillyThingsArt]

Absolutey stunning 🤩 You are so right, love it 😘 Greetings from Germany from Silly 🦋

[@elizabethrudi9887]

Amazing art ❤vou fazer!

[@lisagiuliani8167]

This is so incredibly beautiful!!! 😊

[@odettagonzalez4355]

I want that as a backdrop! It’s super Outstanding TFS❤❤❤

[@martakavaliauskaite4566]

Thank you 🎉🎉🎉

[@jeraldbaxter3532]

Thank you!😊

[@mywifetheartist]

So cool thanks. You are so creative.

[@Sockslaine]

Thank you for making this kind of video. I use stabilo bosses (highlighters) for my backgrounds because in France we can buy them individually and the range of colors is very wide.

[@barbaracimini1447]

Genius, as always!❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@bizzybee852]

Very good, but a lot of work, kudos! I think I would have painted the background black or a very dark indigo, so the vibrant colors of the flowers would automatically pop and require fewer details to create the needed contrast. But this was a great example of how you can still make beautiful art with the cheapest of art supplies, really whatever you have on hand, even if it's a single cheap ball point pen. In fact, the limitations that require us to be more creative to get the effects we want in our art, can be very beneficial in our artistic journey. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@lous.6372]

Gorgeous!

[@JudithGreer-812]

What sketchbook are you using? This would be significant information as I can’t imagine doing this in the one I currently have……

[@ginabadeaux9319]

very good

[@beccogiallo]

Your art is great no matter what you use to create it. I have a question. On Amazon Italy all they have are Crayola washable Markers. Are those the same thing?

[@alisakburke]

Yes! Those are the same thing!

[@jodycourt]

Not Alisa here, but washable markers are water based so you can "paint" with them with plain water like Alisa did here.

[@susansanders3482]

I love your creativity, how you so generously share content, and your inspiration for creating with inexpensive supplies. ❤ Thank you!

[@Brenda-m4g]

I use these markers every day.

[@jerrygill4828]

How would these Crayola markers work on cardboard? Is there a white that’s white enough? Or, would they work over gesso?

[@betsymcghee8915]

[@jeaninesarrge8159]

This would be great with children... they lean a new technique and hopefully less cleanup 🙃
