8 Art Supplies I REFUSE To Use..*seriously dont get these lol*

MAN that upgraded new camera quality 🥺✨

the one thing you forgot is those cheap paintbrushes that have those black plastic bristles. I HATE THEM

After using printer paper your whole life, cheap sketchbooks are a LUXURY 😳

There is a brand in Brazil that sells "tempera gouache", which is THE paint that everyone uses in school, cause it's super cheap and non-toxic, and can be washed off of clothes (to an extent, at least), so it's ok if the kids mess around with it. The problem is that my teachers and everyone else at school always called it simply "gouache". So for my entire life until very recently, I thought those were gouache paints and when I saw people working with gouache and saw their amazing results I was like "what kind of wizardry is that??" So yeah. Guess I'm not a fan of tempera paints either. I just didn't know it until this very year lol

You said 'no glitter' and my heart climbed out of my chest, covered itself in glitter, broke itself in half, and jumped off my roof. So glad for enviro-friendly glitters. I live for sparkles 💖💖💖

This background is such a vibe! I absolutely love it Rae. I can’t even imagine what it’s gonna look like when it’s done.

Damn the camera quality and the studio so far looks AMAZING!!

rae - everyone has used these markers (pulls out craZart markers) every British person - I've never seen seen these irl

Pro tip- Use a bowl for your paint water. -You won't mistake it for your tea -It is harder tip over -If a brush is soaking in it then it won't mush up the bristles as much - It is a good use for bowls that are too nice to eat out of - You usually don't need to refresh the water as much - It fits larger tools such as sponges, cotton gauze and painters brushes - If you use pyrex, clay, or stoneware then it will be less likely to shatter all over the floor when you drop it When I see a drinking glass or a sauce jar full of paint water I think that it is silly and kinda unprofessional (not meant in the shade way). The water bowl is part of your necessary work space so you should have a dedicated tool for the job. It would be like using a dinner plate or a plastic fruit punnet for your palette. Dedicate something for the process if you are a painter. At the very least have a plate for painting that isn't the same as your dinner plates.

did anybody else get mad when she kept saying "cadium" instead of "cadmium" but yes I too despise these art supplies they make me so mad I want to break them in half ALSO YOU FORGOT THE DOLLAR STORE PAINTBRUSHES AND PAINT THAT ARE LITERALLY THE WORST EVER LIKE THE BRUSHES ARE JUST LITTLE PLASTIC FIBERS GLUED TO A STICK OF PLASTIC AND THE PAINTS DONT EVEN FRICKING PAINT LIKE WHATS THE POINT

I'll take pencil erasers that "don't work" over the pencil erasers that actively stain the paper with their colour any day.

Call me weird, but my whole life I used printer paper - yes, the thin bleeding one. I have found many ways to use it to my advantage and I love using printer paper over sketch book paper - don’t kill me plz

"Us artists are always accidentally drinking paint water..." I must be in the minority, because I'm positive I've never done that.

I love you to the moon and back Rae, but this is misinformation about Cadmium. Also it's cadMium, not cadium. According to numerous (reliable) sources the level of soluable cadmium in the pigments used in art supplies is not enough to be remotely toxic. I stress the word Art Supplies there because the levels of cadmium used in other products can be toxic. Tests by the European Union on art supplies and the testing done by art supply manufacturers such as Winsor and Newton concluded that the levels of cadmium contained in the products is not enough to cause any harm even if ingested or used for long periods of time. The cadmium pigment in most art supplies like paints isn't even soluble through your skin. Breathing in or using the paints (again, I stress art supplies here) is not toxic at all, even with everyday use. If the levels of cadmium were at all high enough to put users at risk, a CL label (caution label) is mandated to be applied or included on all packaging. If the product you are using has a label on the packaging that says AP certified or CP, it has been thoroughly tested and approved to be completely safe and non toxic. Hope this clears up the confusion. There is also much more information on this on the Winsor and Newton website as well as Green America site. TLDR: Cadmium is toxic, BUT the cadmium in art supplies that have the proper CL, or AP certified labels are completely harmless and safe. Also the tests have been done by independent labs and not just the art supply manufacturers themselves for quality control. There are many unions around the world that regulate art supplies and test for hard metals and toxic chemicals and the best way to know if what you have is safe is by looking for the AP or CL labels on your supplies. Happy painting and creating! :) EDIT: Not trying to be a know-it-all. I just wanted to save others who see this from a mass trash of their art supplies which we know are damn expensive. And most of us artists, well... we poor! :)

i found a paper pad once, for kids, and the thin paper was perfect for my pencil work (one mech pencil only).. the paper was so smooth so the smudging looked really clean lol.. people kept asking what paper i prefered and i was just like "mm... that cheap paper for $2 at the cheap discount store lol"

The super cheap 'sketchbooks' are awesome for practicing gesture drawing with an ebony or charcoal pencil, because it's cheap and you can practice a lot without worrying about ruining the notebook :0

Tempra paint in my mind is for preschoolers. As a preschool teacher we use it like everyday and it’s perfect for them. Other than that i can’t imagine anyone using it for serious adult art.

Leave it to Rae to whip out a butt donut. LOL. Girl your skin is glowing and this camera quality is amazing. Also I agree with the tempera paint. For sure.

“These cheap sketch books” me who uses a lined notebook for my art 👁👄👁💧

Rae:don't use crazart markers All art teachers everywhere: 😞😢
