A few notes regarding your tips! Those magic eraser sponges are generically called melamine sponges. That might help people find them more cheaply. Baby oil is just scented mineral oil. You can generally get a larger bottle of generic unscented mineral oil for cheaper than baby oil. And for you personally since you've said you don't like a shiny finish on your paintings, mod podge does make a matte formula!

For the toothbrush thing I'd suggest that you cut up a sponge and put it at the end of the case where the tip of your pencils are facing. This way they won't even hit the hard plastic shell, instead they'll hit sponge and I think that could help as well?

When I bought a couple calligraphy brushes in Japan, they had these little see-through plastic tubes at the brush end to protect the hairs. So I've thought, if you get drinking straws, cut a piece of it and stick your brush in it, it should do the same thing. Then maybe tape it on. The end of the drinking straw should take the hits for your brush. Standard straws should fit normal pencil size pencils and small brushes. Larger straws are usually sold in smaller amounts and more expensive because it's not the standard thing, but they exist too.

Good palette, my all time fav: Ice cream lid!

A hack I love to use when I'm painting with acrylics, which REALLY slows down their drying out: Using a large dinner plate as a palette, place on it a couple of squares of good-quality kitchen roll, dampen them well, then place a piece of baking paper on top. use this as your palette. Try this, it really works! And if you use something deep instead of a flat plate, you could also cover with cellophane if you want to pause and go back to painting later (this is messy on a flat plate because the cellophane comes into contact with the paint).

that keeps in water and deforms bristles. the little brush protectors you get when you buy brushes are only intended to keep them in shape from the manufacturer to the store to the artist, and then they should never be used again in any context. doing this is just recreating those, which will over time weaken the bristles and any sort of adhesive used to keep them in the ferrule. all your brushes need for protection is a good brush wrap after drying thoroughly - ideally lying on some sort of rack or hung upside down so the bristles point towards the floor.

I'm a professional artist as well and those individual brush things will end up harming your brushes, especially because they don't allow air circulation for adequate bristle drying.

During school since I don’t have access to solvent or baby oil for school projects I actually use hand sanitizer to blend my colored pencils because though it doesn’t blend as seamlessly as solvent it’ll get the job done and is commonly found in most classrooms Just a quick tip for my fellow student-artists smile 😊

Wow, I specially will used the tracing paper trick to flat my watercolor illustrations, the baby oil for color pencils and the hair gel and vinegar to repair my paint brushes. Thanks!

dipping artificial hair brushes into boiling water releases creases in the fibers of the bristles and allows you to reshape them back to normal :)

I have another baby oil hack. There was once a contest in our school where we had to use oil pastels only. I wasn't really good in that medium so I tried scraping bits of it and mixing a little bit of baby oil. It became like paint and I was able to use it with brushes. It make the colors less vibrant though in my experience. Also, I wouldn't recommend using it on a really thin paper. This hack isn't really for a final piece but I think it would work okay if you just want to practice and don't want to waste much paint.

For a pallet I use thin scrap pieces of card board with a glossy side. It never absorbs paint and it works really well. It's also like a paper plate without the curve so it's reusable.

When I stain my desk and it dries I can't get it off right? Well then I do it on the stain again and grab some toilet paper, or a mop or whatever it is you clean with, and just rub on the stain. It usually works, just on smooth surfaces tho

try to use alcohol. Maybe rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer . Put that on some paper towels or cotton pads and it should remove the marker easily. Because the markers are alcohol based and the only thing colouring over it is doing is just that, the alcohol in them is lifting the old colour.

I'm a student artist who goes to *ugh* public school (although I most likely will be going to an art school for highschool, I'm going into 8th grade) and I just recently got a new kneadable eraser for my birthday on June 1st, along with a bunch of microns, new nice mechanical pencils, watercolour markers, new sketchbooks, and a whole bunch of other stuff including two boxes of art supplies that my art teacher gave me bc she favoritizes me and she didn't need it anymore. Anyway, I had taken my kneadable eraser to school because I use it as a stress relief thing as well as for my art, and one of my microns, one of my pencils, a new sketchbook, and two white gel pens. I started to take classes in my school's office because of my anxiety towards the end of the year, so I was basically just drawing during most of the day. Nobody really cared because they knew I had finished all of my work. A teacher had come to me and asked me to do something for her because she knew I was available, so of course I happily said yes. I left the room for an hour, and when I was finished I had gone back. Stupid me trusted one of my art "friends" to watch my expensive art supplies, and I came back with one of my white gelly rolls and my kneadable eraser missing from the table where I had left them. Turns out she had hidden the gel pen, which I found under her books, and I have yet to be given back my kneadable eraser which I had just paid $4 for three days beforehand. Teaches me never to have nice things I guess.

for a palette you can use a piece of cling wrap. When you buy canvases, the plastic around it makes for a great disposable palette. You can also use an old cutting board

I really enjoyed this video but you shouldn't recommend people to use baby oil. It can really damage your paper and cause it to yellow and also its hard to layer on top. What I would recommend is rubbing alcohol. It works so much better and doesn't damage and you can layer on top and even get watercolor effects. sorry I don't mean to sound negative I just want to help.😣

I love these videos. For the budding toddlers and kid artists, especially with tempera paints - plastic deviled egg containers from the dollar store make awesome palettes 🎨 and have a cover. Who knows, they might even be helpful for adults who use larger amounts of paint. 🙂

When i first started water color painting I used Pringle's can lid as a pallet (i was also using tube water colors). I if you use the inner part it has walls to keep the water in.

Stretching paper with butchers tape is good. Cleanser, baby oil etc although useful for practice, they may not be archival. Modpodge isnt exactly a sealer, after drying if it is near any moisture it can get tacky and collect dust. :)

I'd just take a little dish soap to put on the brushes after I get done with them for the day since, I've had less hair products on hand since my hair cut. Another painting hack a friend of mine showed me is if you get one of those soft, big, ceiling tiles from the hardware store then back it with something solid like cheap press boards and glue it all together before you gesso. The gessoed result is a paint canvas that is cheaper than buying the pre stretched canvases at Hobby Lobby. Those were things I wished I knew during art school.

I have had the problem with paper warping even when i tape it down. That's probably an issue with the paper your using, you could either use a higher quality or learn to stretch your paper (more than just taping it down)

I highly recommend replacing the baby oil with odorless mineral spirits. It's rather cheap (you don't have to get a large bottle or a high end brand) The oil can seep through the paper and ruin anything underneath. It also evaporates in seconds and has no smell once it's dried up. I personally recommend using a small white ceramic or porcelain plate as a palatte. It's great for mixing since the water doesn't bead up (thanks to surface tension) on the surface. You can still use cling film to preserve your paint as well. The only drawback is that you can't divide the colors. Though that can be remedied by using a plate with built-in dividers. IMHO sticky tack works even better than most kneaded erasers. Tip for the modge podge as a sealer: After you've brushed on a layer, go over it with a lightly dampened sponge to get rid of the brush strokes.

Great ideas, thank you! I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent looking for paint brush holders and what I should have been looking for is toothbrush holders. Damn! That is such a good idea. You’ll never know how thankful I am for that idea.

Also for a pallet you can you a glass/ clear plastic/ acrylic picture frame or sheet, I have a glass sheet on my desk and I use that for a pallet, I just make sure I clean it

True... but i don't think baby oil works as well as a solvent........Ok but modge podge is still moisture reactive... So if you live in a very humid area it could remain sticky or say if you wanted to hang a painting in a humid bathroom i wouldn't use this... just a thought...

It doesnt work as well as a solvent no but this is just supposed to be a "hack" for those who dont have it/dont want to pay out for it 😊 I heard this about mod podge too from a couple others, but I know a few other artists who do it and I would only use it on my own personal paintings anyway, nothing i'd sell, and my room never gets hot enough to make that happen - thanks for the advice though!

So... yes and no. When you use a solvent on a crayon or colored pencil, it dissolves the wax and allows you to move the pigment around. When you use mineral or baby oil, it also breaks down the wax and allows you to move the pigment. Probably because there's fat in wax. And fats dillute fats.

I have used modpodge to seal some of my paintings where cheaper acrylics were involved, however I still prefer to use a varnish with larger paintings.

the mod podge one is genius!! I use acrylic a lot and my color always rubs off overtime so thank you!!

The real life hack here is that a microfiber towel reduces frizzyness...I have crazy wavy/curly hair as well

AHH, wheeping Angel!

Hearing about your younger brother just makes me happy. 😂 I just imagine the antics you two must get into with your art supplies.

My parents always get boxes from work or packages in the mail so I deconstructed the smaller ones and I use them as palettes. Generally, they work really well (and I’ve turned a few into actual art pieces)

I did actual scream when you said the supernatural magazine was useless... 😂

Chloe Rose you can buy sponges for getting rid of watercolours that is a bit more gentle on the paper

@ChloeRoseArt

I haven't tried a regular sponge but I like these because they are more firm and you can be more precise, plus they work so well so long as you dont repeatedly scrub the paper :)

I mean from art shops like specific my for watercolours. But you can also use regular sponges for soaking up water. Btw love your vids

you can also use mr. clean scrubbers to dab paint on if it's a large surface or to help blend if you're doing things like galaxies and ombres

Thank you for the paint brush and hair gel tip! I had no idea I could do that for my old brushes!! Same for the white vinegar hack :D

If you ever buy a charcoal (pencil) set, they come with kneadables most of the time, also, there are art kits out there (like drawing for dummies) that will give you a kneadable eraser and other normally expensive supplies for much much less. ~Hope I helped!~

I also use a very sticky version of blue-tack, bought at least ten years ago. It works just as well, if not better than regular blue-tack, but also as a kneadable eraser, and the packet was something around AUS$2-3. It also doesn't pull paint off walls if left too long like blue-tack does, either. Is green, made by Marbig.

Chloe Rose Art Yeah, that's exactly what was bothering me (even though it was mostly meant as a joke 😂), that people tend to spread negativity without explaining why, wich would be more like constructive criticism. I definitely love your videos though, you're always so genuine and funny ❤❤

FOR CHRISTMAS, I GOT TWO OF THOSE EXACT SAME ICE CUBE TRAYS FOR OVERNIGHT PAINTING PROJECTS. THEY ACTUALLY REALLY WORK. When you use a regular paint pallet (I’m using tempera paint), and use it overnight, the paint will just dry up. But the ice cube trays are AMAZING!

To prevent my paint brushes from getting messed up, when I'm done using them I rinse them out really well then put dish soap on them, shape them, then let them dry. This works really well but takes a bit of time. Also, you have to make sure to wash out all the soap before you use the brush again.

"This is precious, don't worry - oh I bent it " 😂

YUSSSS WEEPING ANGELS OH GOD AND THE SONIC SCREWDRIVER

Chloe you can try a photo frame as a palete . It really works

another nice thing about kneadable erasers is that they dont leave eraser shavings everywhere and if u don't want to completely erase something and just lighten it up, like shading, u can just dab it against the paper and it lightens it up

I thought you had a mic that theatre actors use, but it was actually your hair. 😂 Impressive and helpful video btw!

I find dipping the end of my colored pencil in a bit of vaseline also helpful to do the finished blend :)

I’ve also heard of my artist friends diluting mod podge even more with water and then putting it in a spray bottle. Then, they put multiple coats of the spray on their graphite drawings to seal them from smudges. I’ve tried it and I actually like it!
