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*

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!

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

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.

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 😭

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!)

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

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

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.

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.

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 ❤️

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

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

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.

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 💖😭😍

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

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.

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 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

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

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!

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

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 😭

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

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 😆

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

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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

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 😊

Her art needs to be in the museum.

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!

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!

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

Love the Jazza reference

Rae we really love your videos can u pls do a video of art supplies from india

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❤️‼️

Girly this like incredible and keep going on

im literally always amazed by rae´s beautiful makeup

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 ☠️😂

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!!💞💞

The Jazza clip was a fav. Good job

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

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

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

💖 it looks beautiful

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

Love the colors of this piece. Gorgeous work :)

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

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

A toilet seat would make a great canvas. And a great conversation piece 😁

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

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

I get so happy when I see a new vid!! Loved this!

I love getting the notification when Rae posts!

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 ☺️🥰

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

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