I Painted A 17th Century Masterpiece With $1 Dollar Store Supplies.. 

I made a channel dedicated to my “youtube shorts”. if you don’t have tiktok or you’re like me and have the attention span of a gold fish...you can watch them on here on youtube ✨ ru-vid.com/show-UC2qUk37WhyQg_qNmePcRrgQ

Fun Fact: Even though people always say that she is wearing pearl earrings, they’re actually made of metal!

ART TIP: if you're balling on a budget, never never never buy the cheap paint brushes. Instead buy the dollar store make up brushes and you'll have a brush that'll be a waaaaaay better quality. It'll last about as long as the cheap paint brushes, but your quality of art will sky rocket

It’s honestly sad how many people give up on art, because: * “they’re not good enough” * “they cannot draw/paint..” * “they don’t have the supplies” yada yada.. Honey.. we’re all broke and even if you’re not THAT good - bad art is better than no art. Stay creative and have fun, that’s all that matters

I used to use a cutting board as a palette whenever I used to paint. lol

Now we need the ultimate chalenge to happen : Rae doing acrylics vs. Chloe doing oils. Same painting tho

The dislikes are from the ancient people who painted

Fun, cheap hack: for a glass palette, buy a glass chopping board for veggies/kitchen, turn it upside-down, and you have a really great palette!

Hello Rae! I've been following you for YEARS now. I remember that one video you did a while ago about how you were feeling kinda disappointed in yourself because you thought you were sacrificing your art quality to make videos faster. I don't know if you ever gonna read this comment, but let me tell you I think you have improved A LOT since then. I am extremely proud of you for paying attention to the smallest details, not only in your art itself but your videos, too. I love where are you taking your channel and I am glad to see you so energetic and happy lately. I love you and your art so much. Greetings from Peru :D

Dangggg you can’t even tell this was dollar store paint from the result! You SLAYED the skin tones even with the hurdles from the beige paint. Good job girl!! 👏

This girl was able to recreate a masterpiece with paint she got from the dollar tree, if that’s not inspiring or motivating in anyway I have no idea what is

Possible tip for broke artists: when I first started I would go to home depot and buy the super discounted paint samples people didn't want after it was made, or spend the money for a sample jar in the exact color I needed.

I love art. I wish I could create art. I struggle with stick figures, but I will never quit. Thank You for for the push

A M A Z I N G!

Normal people: scared of the dark or something Rae: scared of Dollar general Go Queen Rae

Literally she has the BEST LEFT HANDED ART IVE SEEN NO CAP

I know you probably won't see this, but this is why I love you, Rae. Okay, first because of your positive, supportive attitude to everyone. But secondly, because you show how people can make great art even with very cheap supplies. It's people like you on RU-vid that help restore my faith in humanity. God bless you, Rae!

This proves that you don’t need expensive art supplies to do good paintings

She proved that a real artist can paint any thing with cheap supplies!

I've noticed my local Dollar Tree has improved its variety of arts and craft supplies compared to like 3 years ago. My favorite craft supply recently has been tiny little plastic jars of buttons, and un-related tiny glass jars of seashells.

DIY glass palette: glass pane from Lowes with duct tape on the back. The duct tape will prevent shattered glass pieces from flying everywhere when I drop it.

if rae can do so well with doller store art supplies imagine how epic it would be if she did it with expensive oil paint

Oooh! You did a good job! Funny this was posted when I was drawing Girl with a Pearl Erring for a school project!

Walmart has 50 cent acrylic paint that is actually really good. I was about to do some decent art.

Ah yes, the cheap but reliable art materials never disappoint 😌

Shocked at how she made it look good with the amount of stuff that never works that good.

Walmart has acrylic paint for 99 cents!! Looove this concept ❤️

Rae: I suck at acrylics I much prefer oils Also Rae: slays dollar store acrylics.

It's been a bad week. People are dying all over the place, I feel completely helpless. Thanks Rae for this, it sort of made me feel better for the time being

I just genuinely admire you SO much. As a student it’s really hard to buy supplies and honestly I haven’t painted in about 6 months because of no supplies due to many factors not just covid or financial. However seeing you create this absolutely stunning piece of art, I want to jump back in. ❤️ thank you

After washing my hair I wrapped my hair with the towel. And my sister shouted "you look like the girl with the pearl" lol

Just came across your channel, I wanna say I love the thriftyness, I constantly dumpster dive after first semester at local art collage, (all the animators and sculptors that have to take core freshman classes toss their freshman starter kits, I usually end up with a billion brushes and portfolio bags (cheapies) but if you find the right dumpster there is always that rich freshman who, even though they are interior design and will never touch a paintbrush again will have insisted on the top of the line markers, pencils, brushes, etc..(I once found a box with a set of 3 Sable tail brushes never used, I was van living at the time so I sold them, I'm fine with my synthetic rabbit hair, but since college I've found a lot of ways to recreate the quality stuff on a budget, the makeup brushes are an awesome share, no one should spend crazy amount for a watercolor bulb when a cheap blush brush will work..since you found the cornstarch and the affect it has on cheap paints, you might have realized that there are other household items that change your paints thickness and luster, not to mention the different sealers, epoxies, polys, to finish a work with.. I like egg yolk, there was a rumor that Norman Rockwell used eggs to create a glow halo effect on his figures, when you see what the yolk does to dried paint it becomes part of your final repetoire.. I used to teach at paint and drink bars, and when the pandemic hit we shut down, since then I'm all about making art for no money... if you are interested in doing a show on "free art" I would suggest charcoal and paper,.. different woods to burn to make different charcoal, and a quick visit to a recycling plant will yield a tonne, literally, of cardboard and paper, you already know about sanding down shiny paper to give it tooth, it might not be us your alley,but if you are interested I will send you my notes on wood types, making charcoal ink, making brushes and dip pens from aluminum cans, (I don't post videos, ever, so I'm happy to pass along the info to so.eone who might use it)

Just proves the fact that skill matters more than your supplies :D

to everybody being mean to themselves and saying they're not talented or that they want to give up: everybody has to start somewhere, don't give up! you are talented and loved and you're doing amazing. keep pushing forward, i believe in you!

I recreated this art piece in real life for an art project in my art class. We had to choose a famous painting and dress like the person in the painting. It was so fun!

The Girl With The Pearl Earring is one of my FAVORITE pieces. This was so fun to watch.

Did you know that the original painter started the face by layering all sorts of colors like purples and such. I learned this from a gal who owned an art studio that I took lessons with. I thought she was crazy to put all these wild colors in at first but her reasoning was this particular painter loved to add lots of layers of strange colors to get the actual color to begin with. Also the look on her face is because he was kind of a creep and had a crush on her and he used his wife’s earring to pierce her ear with. He was in love with her and she needed the money he paid her to pose for him. Anyways I’m sure you know all about this but I just wanted to share what I had learned with ya. Love your videos. Also wanted to tell you I absolutely love your makeup when you went to the dollar store

Rae is the ultimate inspiring and sweetest youtuber to ever exist. I just love her 😭

This is one of my absolute favorite paintings ever. There's something just so captivating about it and you being able to recreate it like that with dollar store products is absolutely insane

Wow, just wow. You, my dear are an inspiration. This old dog may just learn some new tricks. New to “painting” ( I hesitate to use the word artist) and I truly appreciate your talent and enthusiasm. Subscribed and looking forward to your videos. Keep up the fantastic work!

Painting on masonite is a DREAM. That's what most theater stage floors are made from, so college at a theater tech major spoiled me. I'm so glad other artists are starting to paint on it now cuz now it's easier to find canvas size pieces

Rae:painting a17th century masterpiece with one dollar store supplies Me: painting bunny which looks like a monster with 30 dollar supplies

Your videos are so cool and amazing ! I REALLY Love YOUR VIDEOS ! your awesome ! 👍

Your videos are so good for mutiple functions. Full attention, partial attention, or background noise. Whatever mood i can pull up a video and it fits. And its just the perceft mix of slow and calming without being boring or dull. Thank you, really nice content and beautiful work! 😊

My son and I love watching your videos. He’s only 9 months but he loves all the colors and claps every time he sees them. Keep up the amazing artwork.

RAE SELF PORTRAIT 2021? ‘,:)

I love how your rendition of The Girl With The Pearl Earring came out Rae. I have watched this video at least three times, because its one of my favourites. You are such a talented artist. God bless you for your continued encouragement of other artists who constantly reach out to you. You are a wonderful role model as an artist and as a person. God bless you and your family.

This is one of the best things I've seen on RU-vid, since RU-vid was created. What confidence to know that you would recreate a masterpiece with Dollar Tree trinkets. It's like watching Tony Stark make the prototype Iron Man Suit in a cave with spare parts. Liked and Subscribed. Amazing work.

I work at dollar general and you’re on point with the cashiers wanted to fight customers. The customers suck so much at my store lol

BOWIE KNOWS!! ALL THE INSPIRATION I NEED 💗

Girl! Damn this is mesmerizing! You can sell this and nobody would know!

I have to be honest, I love these videos and they are my favorite 🤩 you are so good at art Rae I love you so much

i haven’t even finished watching and i know it’s going to be great

This reminded me of the time i also painted this painting for school a couple of years ago. I did it with watercolours, and considering my little experience back then, i'm actually really proud of it lol. Now i kinda want to paint it again

12:32 : “It’s currently four in the morning I-“ “Go tie your shoes. You running around, people are-“ 😂🤣😅❤️

I’m rewatching your old videos and I can see your progress all throughout. Awe inspiring.

Next video: I painted myself as a 17 century old painting

RAE! you need to make a self-portrait 2020/2021! 😁

You make me wanna draw every time I watch you videos 😄🧡

I love how you always have an art history flavor to your content. It really makes the things I learned in college more relevant to the art I'm learning to create now. ❤

you ever tap the top of your screen and a notification pops up at the exact same time... yeah

“And I say that with peace & love” ahh we have another Frenemies watcher..lol 😂🤷‍♂️

I've watched this a few times now and still blown away with how it turned out. Your amazing! Love you !

Those green sketchbooks are great!!! I have like 5 and I've filled all of them lol!

When you accidentally deleted the comment Rae hearted 🥲

"With peace and love." I see you 🤣

It’s nice to see someone create amazing artwork with dollar general art supplies. I have a dollar general near my dads house that I can walk to and some of my most treasured memories are walking down the tiny art aisle and looking at all the materials. I still use these supplies from time to time and it’s so cool to see a popular artist use them as well. Thank you for making this video, it made my day ❤️

you did a amazing job it is so cool to see you grow as an artist and a person keep up the good work we are here for you

In case anyone hasn’t told you lately, you are a darned fine artist. You’re gallery quality and I know because I used to be a resident artist in a gallery. Your work can hang anywhere.

SuperRaeDizzle is back❣️

A true artist can make an amazing piece with anything🎨

O my god!!🙌🖤 this girl is so strong👏👏. How confidently she talks about her broke days is just awsome.😇

The whole world should know you your so talented and good at art the art piece looks amazing ✨❤️

Watercolorist here, so I definitely get how some artists will look at another's preferred medium and be like "How on earth do you tolerate that!?" lol Also -- thank you so much for your outro. These broke art videos are a lifesaver for a lot of us and a reminder that we can do so much with what we have access to. (: Thanks!

i love it . looks like something from an art museum !

You are so incredibly gifted. Inspirational.

The background music during the time lapse ........ I've heard that song somewhere....... it's a Bollywood song 11:02 its...Dil mein ho tum (chiro dini tumi je amar) I think

i love ur cheap art supplies videos so much! I've been a fan since 2019 and I've been rewatching all ur videos since last week and I still don't get bored/tired of it >-< keep making videos in the future! you make people happy :)

Why do people dislike this she’s LITERALLY helping you do better art without wasting your money...!

If you have tupperware lids that don't match a container, those lids make great palettes in a pinch. Life hack I learned from my mom. We always had rogue lids, so she'd collect them and use them as palettes. Awesome rendition of "Girl With The Pearl Earring" by the way!

Rae:buy stuff from dollar store me: trying to find paints in my house

6:19 HALLO THEIR HOW AR YA ALL DO ‘EN

I love that you show this kind of video I'm just starting to get into painting, and it's nice to hear a real artist tell you that you don't have to spend a lot of money to get started. I also think it helps to hear and see what to look out for when buying items on the cheap.

You have such a beautiful aura. I love how positive you are. Thanks for being you. 💜

I applaud you, Rea! The $ General brushes you used are most of the brushes I own (from effectively everywhere BUT $ General)

Her hair always on point

OMG! It looks like the actual painting! 😲😲😲😲😲Miss Rae, you are truly talented and inspiring! 😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍

Woah, it turned out insane!😍🔥

Salute to the people who work with cheap art supplies cuz,,,I’m one of them ;x;

*sad when your a young artist and your not old enough to go in shops alone to get your own art supplies :(*

I love your smile after you said "i have no chill" 😁💞

I know I'm late but I saw a lot of people mixing lots of colours together and getting black paint- you just need to equally use a mixture of red, yellow and blue together

Rae has such a good taste of music. I'm always vibin' over here!

fun fact: everyone that said “first” didn’t watched the full video

omg u gave a lot of people who loves painting a LOT of motivation !!!! loveyou

oh wow, now only a true artist can use simple supplies to create a stunning masterpiece!

I live how even those she's using dollar store art supplies she's still trying and did amazing

I don't think I can paint this well even with all art supplies at my disposal

4:20 so creative to find ur canvas like that Ik I’m 7 months late but I’m binging lmao

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good she looks with the mask !! Obviously she's always gorgeous but BONUS FOR THE MASK really makes her eyes stand out 🤝🏻💕
