I Made Art ONLY From Hardware Store Supplies (no art supplies allowed!) 

I love that the Home Depot theme is playing while she’s in Lowe’s. 😂

For some reason it really amused me that Rae didn’t expect the house pain to be so pigmented, because I always thought all house paint was pigmented since that’s kind of its entire point and it didn’t occur to me until she said that that some house paint probably does suck 😭

Rae: *goes to Lowes* Also Rae: *plays Home Depot music*

Lil' birb is a cutie! 🥺 (Also, I'm surprised they don't have better detailing brushes there! Rude.)

rae: so these supplies are pretty terrible quality, and totally not what I would use for any art piece if I had a choice. also rae: creates freaking gorrgeous art

Girl the hardware store has ALL KINDS of great stuff for crafting!! Little wood pieces, paint, markers, slats of wood, finneals, all kinds of shit! I love the hardware store for crafting stuff!

I knew you'd have a good selection of surfaces in a hardware shop, but I didn't expect several options for art materials. The wee birdie is so cute. I wonder how the paint would stand up in the sun- it's usually picture frame marks that show how much emulsion has faded over time. I'm really enjoying how you show people that art can be made with anything that makes marks on stuff!

I love that she put a picture of lowes and had home depot music on top 🤭

Someone could give me the highest quality art supplies and I’d still somehow make a stick figure

A hardware store *should* have canvas. Even though people most often use plastic now, you can still find tarps and banners made of cloth canvas.

5:13 I don’t know why, but for some reason my brain saw this sketch and went: Yep. That’s the back view of someone’s hair pulled into a bun. Those are veins running down their neck. Definitely no birds to be found here.

Something you can find at hardware stores are paint pens to fix tables and chairs that work good for artwork, but the fumes are unbearable lol

It turned out beautifully!! The bristles coming off the brush and getting stuck in the paint brings back bad memories 😭

Haha, this bring me memories. When I was in paint class, actual acrylics were SO EXPENSIVE so my teacher told us to buy wall paint on primary colors and we all paint with it.... And I still use it sometimes, it's a lifesaver. Also... That make so much easier decorate my wall

It looks amazing❤❤💞. Sometimes I use pins or needles+tweezers (if the bristle is too small) to pick up the brush bristles rom the painting without messing it up too much, I hope this helps

Girl when I tell you they should let us watch u in art class they really should you teach me more than my art teacher does and you never fail to make it fun and entertaining ☺ (OMG MOM IM FAMOUS!)

dude I'm so proud of myself,I've made art and it looks so amazing I'm so happy with it,and your channel has helped me so much and made me realize that all art is beautiful in all ways.

that bird is cute! around here, larger hardware stores tend to have regular arts and crafts sections, albeit small ones, but you do get proper art supplies

I always wondered what else I could use to prime wood. This is exciting!

Let’s appreciate how nice she is expressing kind comments to the person that sent her the book Edit: OMG NO WAY TY TY TY TYYYY FRO THIS MUCH LIKES I NEVER AHD THIS MUCH 💖😭😍

Rae I'm super excited for this video! I've recently found out that the hardware store can also be a paradise for artists and crafters, especially when it comes to storage ideas. I even bought a tool box for all my art supplies for a fraction of the cost of an ArtBin in my country (honestly it was a difference of 37 dollars for an ArtBin in Mexico via Amazon vs. a local brand tool box that only cost me 13 bucks in the supermarket and it's exactly the same material but bigger). Anyway if someone has to take something from this video and my comment is that, just because it says "For artists", don't 👏 immediately 👏buy 👏it👏. Check out hardware stores, local markets, flea markets, etc. You never know when you can find some amazing art supplies, storage or any other things in places that aren't directly art related.

Do places like the reuse store. They sell left over building supplies. I got cabinet doors to make fancy chalkboards with decorated frames and screens that I could use for making paper.

Love how she played the Home Depot music for Lowes 😂 Love the video ❤️

You can go even more challenging and get only from a certain brand. I work at a hardware store and found out the tool brand DeWalt has chalks and markers.

✨a piece of wood✨ They work like sharpies, except more 😎badass😎, were the highlights of the video😂 Thanks for uploading rae! ❤️

*plays the home depot song while pulling up to lowe's*

Impressive! We know that this video wasn't advocating for replacing art materials with house paints, but we asked the Utrecht Art Supplies team about some of the supplies you selected, just to help beginners understand the difference. The Utrecht team felt certain that the spray primer would not offer the correct absorbency for artist's colors like acrylic gesso would, but they gave thumbs up to that nice looking panel. They said they were fairly sure that the amount of binder that's in house paint would not allow for much thinning with water and still yield as durable a film as artist's acrylics, and that there are additives in modern house paint (plasticizers, less durable colorants) that, in the long life of an artistic painting, might cause undesirable changes. The consensus was that this shows a skilled artist can get great looking results with non-standard supplies, but we think beginners and students might struggle using house paint as substitute art supplies.

Truly one of my favourite tools to play around with is a mechanical carpenter's pencil because the wide, flat shaped lead is great for sketches with a lot of straight lines (like architecture.) It's kind of like the pencil equivalent of a flat brush.

that was a fun one. hardware store was my stop before I had budget for actual good art products. the only one I regret is the varnish.... it gets yellow with time and don,t UV protect. But the rest, it's still fine 15-20 years later. I still use blackboard paint from the hardware store as black gesso, it's cheaper, insanly opaque with a beautiful mat finish that you just don't get with anything else. there's a lot of cool stuff at the hardware store.

Omg I would loved to see you do more painting with housepaint, cuz at first I was like "there's no way-" and so shocked to see the final result!! Loved it so much

I LOVE LOVE LOVE how Rae seems so approachable, patient & kind. These videos speak to artists of all skill levels and I really appreciate that

i love this video, it was great. i just can’t get over you saying tarot like “tarrot” like a carrot when it’s “tear-oh” 😭 long time subscriber and ily

As a Lowe's employee, I am very impressed with what you were able to create! I could kind of guess what products you were going to use as well. Your painting looks so good!

I have been watching you since 2017 and I still love your videos and how positive and cheerful person you are. Love your Rae!!💓

No matter whatever challenge you do, the artwork is always amazing ✨

Great video Rae! Love seeing the way you adapt using the hardware store supplies to a way that works for you! The final piece looks beautiful 😊

This video is SO CUTE When you're showing off the artwork at the end you just have the happiest face in the world. I love it to death. Also, the piece turned out INCREDIBLE!! It perfectly fits the aesthetic of my house, wish I could buy it right now 😆

That looks amazing and you never fail to entertain me! That bird looks so realistic! It always makes my day when you post!

im literally always amazed by rae´s beautiful makeup

Wow, Rae! This actually brought tears to my eyes. Excellent video as usual! 🥰

Well this took me straight back to when I first started painting using MDF board and white house paint as primer. I still do when I use acrylics!

Wow, great job! Your painting turned out great, especially given the poor quality of the craft brushes you had to work with. Do you think you'll be getting supplies from the hardware store more often? Also, very good information for people looking for those wooden disks, they're always so expensive at the craft store. Sample paint jars are also fantastic for a number of different projects and not too expensive. Thanks for another great video!

I love how Rae always makes art in her videos. I've seen numerous "Trying out products from- " videos and they make their art work in a separate video which annoys me. Props for Rae to always put in the hard work in her art and EDITING!!💞💞

I love how your so positive and you never gave up I was about give up but now I know that no matter what stay strong and don’t lose hope

So much fun to watch as usual! Great job on the painting!^^

Love, love, LOVE your videos! I'm a new subscriber from North Carolina 😊👍 Next time maybe you could get a cloth drop cloth to make a canvas? 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ You could staple it to the back of the wood or maybe make a wooden frame. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experiences with all of us 🌏🌎🌍😎👍🖼️🎨🖌️🖍️ You are incredibly gifted!

I absolutely love this piece it’s my favorite you’ve done now like all your work is amazing but this I lousy love the blurred in the back and everything😍😊

That Jazza joke was so good! Lol Also cool Rob Zombie shirt I won't even mention the art cause we already know you never disappoint XD

Rae: I love the smell of freshly cut wood Rae: *INTENSE SNIFF*

It looks amazing!!!! As a fellow lefty artist, did you have any difficulty with the flat carpenter pencil? When I was in college I never could use them correctly, I did get the job done but it was quite complicated, according to my teacher it was because I'm left handed 😭

It's so good so see Rae happy & thriving! (No pressure to keep it up 24/7, though! We all have our days!)

Her art needs to be in the museum.

Love your videos soooo much! You have inspired me to make art! Love you( but not in a weird way)

I wish I could draw/paint like you but I don't really have the supplies 😭 anyways love you❤️‼️

I love these videos so much! I love how you show us it isn't about what supplies you have, it's about the creativity and skill you have!

I’m always blown away by how you can do these challenges and have amazing results regardless of any roadblocks. It’s so inspiring for my own artwork and so much fun to watch!

Early can't wait to watch this amazing video

We love a queen who stays away from more problematic Home Depot but uses their theme song ☠️😂

Home Depot theme- lol! Other things to find: oil based sharpies, pre-cut hard board, odorless mineral spirits... Etc. good job finding the pencils. There are also carpenter's crayons! Speaking as an artist married to a woodworker.

I love, absolutely, LOVE the smell of fresh cut wood as well🤗 It always reminds me of my dad constantly building things when I was a little girl ☺️🥰

Who wants a superraedizzle x moriah elizabeth collab?? | v

God I wish I was still into bullet journaling cause I would totally get that one!

Seeing the smile on your face while doing anything just makes me smile 😊

Girl I absolutely LOVE your makeup!! That green is everything 😭😭😭

POV: you are so early there are more likes than views

i thought you were painting on a tortilla for a sec.

this was so fun to watch! also when I read the title the first thing I thought was that this would be such an easy challenge for you--- throwback to my days working in hardware @ home depot and always thinking about how I could get literal dupes to actual art supplies for so much cheaper.

You are such a gifted artist, I'm in genuine awe.

Second💜

I am way tooo early yay

Okay this is one of my favorites of all your videos! I am inspired!

You're so good at art 'cause you can make art with anything!! ♥️

oh god what did you do to yourself again

16 secs ago

Pleaseee please more videos like these ...doing hauls and then creating a artwork...I just love these!!

Lol...Definitely used that theme music like a BOSS LOL...GIRL I LOVE YA ❤️ 😍

FIRST

Once again, Rae proves she can make beautiful artwork out of anything. 👍👏👌

Yahoo Raaaaay. My perfect after work entertainment 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 See, it's about talent and practice, not about expensive supplies. ❤

Great video! It's awesome that you found art in a hardware store mija. 👍♥️☺️

Girly this like incredible and keep going on

Rae your work is amazing I love your bird that you have painted. It’s fantastic ❤

Rae that was an awesome challenge. I just absolutely love the bird and the blend on the background.

Love the colors of this piece. Gorgeous work :)

WoW!! Great job working with the hardware store supplies.

Kudos to you homie! I've been watching your channel for a long time now and it's been amazing seeing how you've progressed as a painter.

Friends support friends. That was beautiful and exactly why I watch the channel…the vibes.

Magnificent job Rae!!! 💜💜💜💜

I love that you also support other creators! Y’all both deserve great recognition ❤

I love this video and the painting! It's so beautiful and impressive!!

💖 it looks beautiful

It looks so good!!! You did an incredible job! I would have never guessed this was made with hardware store products!!

I always look forward to your videos! Thank you for sharing your art and brining me joy ❤️

At 11:04 haha korny lol. Love this one! You go girl!👏🏼💖

I watch your videos every time I'm sick or sad. Your vibe is amazing 💖

I am always amazed how Rae makes masterpieces out of everything.

Rae, that piece of artwork is beatufitul. I'd love to have that round picture on my wall at home.

Rae, you are SOO talented! You make me smile no matter what you do. In fact, I reckon you could make art out of engine oil and q-tips! Please consider it, coz loads of artists have used coffee and wine, but I don't recall anyone using engine oil so far. It would be weird, and I know how much you like things that are weird! God bless you and your family.

I swear watching the painting time lapse with the music and everything was SO MUCH FUN

Art room tour????? I think it would be so cool because you have so much art supplies
