The paints were actually quite vibrant for being so transparent, I like how it turned out.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

right!? I was pretty impressed by that!

@HeavenlyInspirations Год назад

I actually like the Dollar Tree painting better. The opacity gives it more of a fairytale look. The other one is somewhat flatter.

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

That’s something I didn’t even consider :) good point!

@stellanightingale14 2 месяца назад

I like the background with the liquitex paintsmore but like the unicorn of the dollar store paints more.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 месяца назад

I agree!

@andym3603 2 года назад

1st...this was so enjoyable! 2nd...I never graduated from "paint by numbers." 3rd...So nice to know that starting at Dollar Store & Job Lot were worth a go. (I have invested in "cheap" but better than Dollar Store paints) I learned guitar on a Sears & Roebuck but now own a Fender. When I learned what I could the sound was no longer pleasing/rewarding. This has been my experience with painting. Thanks so much for the entertaining & informative video. I shall return!

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

aw thank you for the kind words. And yes, it is nice to know you don't have to break the bank in order to paint and have some fun with acrylics :)

@realonereal1 3 месяца назад

The best thing about getting in the habit of dollar store materials, is that you get easily impressed by even the slightest bit better quality materials. It’s like a baseball player putting a heavy weighted donut on their bat, so when they take it off, their bat feels much lighter and more controllable than they would feel without using the heavy weighted donut

@TheBuzzedArtist 3 месяца назад

That’s a great point- especially on learning patience :)

@technoraptor7778 2 года назад

But transparent acrylics can have some cool effects too!! Dollar store..not bad..and perfect for artsy kids to get started.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

oh yes absolutely! :)

@goldengoatee2237 7 месяцев назад

I loved the dollar tree unicorn painting much better. It came out beautiful!!!

@TheBuzzedArtist 7 месяцев назад

It really came out great with the colors :)

@dollydharma5294 2 года назад

Loved your video. Wouldn't know what to do without Dollar Store during these hard times. Thanks for answering a question I"m sure a lot of us newbie painters had.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Right!? Dollar stores have been a saving grace for us creatives. I’m glad this was helpful! :)

@otakutante 2 года назад

I like these comparison art supply videos very much! You did a great job filming and editing

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I'm glad this was a helpful comparison :)

@ingridphillip5367 2 года назад

I must say I first bought paint at the dollar tree and them Michael’s well I will tell you that I enjoyed working with the dollar tree painting supplies 🌻💕👏

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

I’m glad you found something that works for you :)

@macpac7056 2 года назад

You seem so pleasant. Fun watching you do what you love.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Aw thanks!

@Francois_L_7933 2 года назад

One thing I find with dollar store paints is that quality varies a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer and from color to color. At my Canadian dollar stores, I can get DecoArt and Acrylique brand paints. They're both surprisingly not horrible. I find that the colors that suffer the most are the fluorescent ones. They have zero opacity, so I have to put a layer of gesso first before applying them over any other color.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

That is an excellent point and I would agree with the fluorescent paint colors. Lots of work to get those to show up well!

@noblumoon Год назад

Not horrible does not seem to be a great evaluation...😂😂

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

What did you think of this challenge? Would you give it a try?

@youknoweverything7643 4 месяца назад

For being very transparent likw they are they are actually a very vibrant colors which surprised me. Awsome job on the painting

@TheBuzzedArtist 4 месяца назад

Right!? Very vibrant indeed :)

@artbymartamedina5997 2 года назад

Awesome energy I love it.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Hehe Aw thanks so much :)

@marynichter4133 Год назад

I'm just now gonna try their paint to save money. I'm glad I ran across your video. Very anxious to start. You do a great job with videotaping but I must admit that I love this 2nd painting better as having it more colorful. Thanks so much!

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

Ah very interesting 😀 yeah I think this is a decent start if you’re not sure about acrylic paint and want to give it a try.

@padrejuan7763 Год назад

I bought some dollar tree paint some weeks ago & added a little bit of all purpose flower, it makes the paint less watery & a bit thicker

@destiny.unique 9 месяцев назад

Ps thank you for this video, I love the content

@TheBuzzedArtist 9 месяцев назад

that's a great hack! :)

@wilsonantoniocerdagomez1211 2 года назад

Muy bonito hiper HI Chile 🇨🇱

@user-dn9vd9xg9p Месяц назад

The crafters square white paint reacts as if I am mixing latex and enamel. White works best by itself in this brand. It skins up if mixing colors with this paint and other paints.

@TheBuzzedArtist Месяц назад

Ahh that’s very good to know!

@myramadd6651 4 месяца назад

I bet the dt paint could be a great base for watercolors. Lean into the thinness of the paint

@TheBuzzedArtist 4 месяца назад

Oh interesting! It might make for a good base!

@gloriamarshall7759 Год назад

Apple Barrel from walmart is only 50 cent a piece and much better paint. I use it all the time as many crafters do.

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

Agreed! :)

@stephencraig7130 Год назад

The best acrylic paint is Duncan Opaque Stain. Second is CeramCoat acrylics. These are opaque, also called solid colors.

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

Nice!

@analarson2920 2 года назад

Hey may you know since you are so talented, what's the best paint to put on porcelain tile? Thanks, love your videos.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Hi! Hmm, perhaps enamel paint might be best for that :)

@xero2390 2 года назад

i’m currently looking into painting a vinyl on a budget, should i use these acrylics or look for more for pricier brands ?? i love how these looked but idk how they’ll work on vinyl primer

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Hmm, I don’t have experience painting on vinyl, but my guess would be to go for the better brands like Liquitex or Golden. Especially if you want your painting to last you a very long time :)

@technoraptor7778 2 года назад

Even liquitex is cheap quality to me...I use Golden acrylic paints..good price and quality..for the price some of the best out there.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Golden is pretty amazing, I have to say :) But, we each work with what we like and respond to best!

@mandyparsons2616 2 года назад

😁 Hi Amanda iam 💪 now my back is better. Ready. To paint tomorrow.. From mandy in Dorset.. Love all your work.. And its Nearly Halloween 🦇 👻 🕸️

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

I am so glad to hear you're doing much better! :) Get pumped for Halloween, Queen Bee!

@robertsparks7244 8 месяцев назад

I used them when I started but moved on to other products.

@TheBuzzedArtist 8 месяцев назад

Yup, glad this worked for you at the beginning of your art journey :)

@tittyrino Год назад

I paint and carve my own fishing lures,walking sticks and everything else that you can imagine. I use an airbrush often and these paints work great with distilled water and 90% alcohol.Polycrylic mixed into these paints will give you AMAZING results.

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

Hey that’s really cool! :)

@tittyrino Год назад

@@TheBuzzedArtist Bad thing is that Minwax Polycrylic is $38 for 1 quart here in SW Pennsylvania. Good thing is that the small craft paints only need about 2or3 tablespoons mixed into the bottle and wow what a difference. Take care

@patrickwillis13 Год назад

Pro tip for yall. If you nee to cover a dark color with a lighter one. Start with a misty grey base coat first and then start with building you're color slowly with white/desired color ratio slowly through your coats. So let's do yellow for an example. After got you base coat you want to do a pale yellow on your next coat and with each coat lower your white ratio and raise your yellow ratio until you get the desired opacity.

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

That is a great tip!!! Thank you 😊

@patrickwillis13 Год назад

Np! I paint shoes for a living and it has the same problem

@michelewhite1150 8 месяцев назад

Where can I find instructions for the unicorn painting pls if available thank you

@TheBuzzedArtist 8 месяцев назад

I have the entire tutorial and stencils available in my Etsy shop: thebuzzedartist.etsy.com/listing/1583461532

@Stuffinn729 Год назад

Can I use these to paint white air forces?

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

hmm, personally, I would not. I would stick to the more reputable paint brands that have better pigments and color permanence

@mandyparsons2616 2 года назад

i did the doughnut paintig .. not done the unicorn yet got to try a new one ...frist one was bad

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

All attempts are learning journeys in your painting experience. Take it one step at a time, queen bee! You got this 👏🏻

@mandyparsons2616 2 года назад

Thanks Amanda 🐦🌺

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

Thanks! baby girl is awesome and growing like a weed :) Her personality is totally shining through and I love it

@robertsparks7244 7 месяцев назад

They did have these items but now nothing stocked

@TheBuzzedArtist 7 месяцев назад

Yeah DT tends to do that or takes a while to restock

@sandiguinnartescape 2 года назад

It’s not terrible.

@TheBuzzedArtist 2 года назад

very true! :D

@alexandrosmakridakis9096 11 месяцев назад

Dollar tree one looks better imo.

@TheBuzzedArtist 11 месяцев назад

Haha good to know :)

@stephencraig7130 Год назад

Dollar tree paints are like craft smart paints from Michael's. They're horrible. Come on. What quality are you going to get at the dollar tree?

@TheBuzzedArtist Год назад

Based on the comparisons of more expensive paint counterparts, I would say the quality isn’t as bad as I thought. I know lots of people are on budgets when learning to paint and making a $4 investment in paint and brushes sounds less daunting than a $35 one.
