Cheap Art Supplies Challenge!

Hi, it's Waes! How have you all been doing? In this video i tried to spice things up a bit and do something a little different than usual, and not just a speedpaint... I bought this watercolor set when this challenge was still "trendy", but it took me this long to actually film it :,) I'm sorry.. The colors were actually quite good? I was expecting little to no color payoff at all, so i was pleasantly surprised at how well they behaved on paper... I wish I would've stuck to the challenge more strictly and not used my Keramik brush though... I feel like it would've been more authentic and fun? Oof... I'll keep that mindset for the next challenge... Overall, this was really fun and I've learned that "cheap" watercolors are underestimated! Of course they shouldn't be used for professional work, or originals that you're planning on selling, but for coloring sketches, and just messy studies, I think they're great! Maybe this challenge can come off as a way to trash on cheap supplies and to show why they're not as good as the more expensive ones, but I think of it now as a way to show that they can be used as well, and even though they're not high quality, you can still make amazing art with them! And it's not like them being lower quality will make you have to work 30x harder to make it look good either! If you want to paint, don't let being unable to afford expensive stuff hold you back! Most of us start out with cheap stuff anyways, like I did ;) My first watercolors were these pencil watercolors by Faber Castell that I had in the back of my drawer for years that I had never learned how to use! I took them out once i realized I wanted to color my drawings, and after only using them for a while, my mom gifted me a kuretake watercolor set (not the gansai ones! Just normal transparent watercolors) and from then on, I kept increasing the quality of my paints, as I got more confident that I truly wanted to become an artist! Maybe I'll do a more detailed video about my watercolor journey in the future... For now, I hope you enjoy this one! Thank you for reading this and I'll see you soon!

Edit: I had to reupload this because I realized I had exported this video in 360p :,) Sorry for that!
