- Last week I showed you all of the small businesses I found who sold HANDMADE art supplies... THIS week we're going to put those art supplies to the test! Are they just as good as "big brand" supplies and should you support small businesses?

I'm a professional papermaker and love when artists start to get into handmade papers! A tip for when you are looking to work with handmade papers: Ask the maker if they add any sizing to their papers. Sizing can be internal (Added to the pulp) or external (Added to the surface once the paper is dry). Sizing is what allows us to use wet media on paper without the lovely soft fibers absorbing it all up. If a papermaker doesn't use sizing but you are in love with their paper, don't fear! You can always add external sizing. You can even make up an external sizing using egg whites ;) Some of my favorite watercolor papers are handmade paper that were never ever intended for watercolor but with a bit of sizing magic you get something really unique.
Thanks for this info! I never would have thought to size paper on my own. Have an awesome day!
Not a papermaker - yet ^^' It's on my evergrowing list of things I want to try, though :3 I read somewhere that one can use gelatine, too. And was wondering if something like Agar Agar would work, too (as a vegetarian version, I don't really use gelatine, I could never make that stuff work when baking, so... 🤔
Oops, i didnt see this comment before saying something similar 😅 I'm an amateur paper maker who has been experimenting with a few different methods of sizing. I've never heard of the egg white option! I'll have to look into it since I hate the results gelatine has been giving me
Oh wow I learn something new today.. Thank you for this insight it's really informative 😳👍
@@LunaBianca1805 Yes, definitely get into paper! You could use Agar to size, yes. Wheat starch is also a good vegetarian/vegan method. I use the egg white method since I tend to have egg whites leftover after cookie baking with the yolks.
I want that palette SO bad.
Saaaaaaaaaaame
I’m the 100th like on this comment 😳
@@tinjii6916 thanks for sharing that must have been rly cool for u 😃
@@nonbinarybastard Omg your so nice most people just say stop or nobody care the world needs more people like you have a nice day or night 🙃
@@nucleotidea ur welcome it feels good making others feel good 😃
A tip to see the Holo better on camera is to shine your phone light on it. For some reason holo LOVES phone lights.
Hope that helps ♡
or a regular flashlight x) you're absolutely right!n The Holo always takes the Spotlight B-) (sorry 4 the bad joke, i had to)
Yes, and I always found that the sparkles showed up better when my image was slightly out of focus. That makes holo look amazing!
Holo dosen´t show right if the ligth is to soft, like a softbox or clouds make it. If its direkt light it shows the best, so Sunlight a uncoverd Lightbulb or a Flash is good. Physiks Girl explaind it very well.
We have similar interests haha just saw you in joinen comments
@@gravitationalliquid7374 LOL would you be surprised if I get people telling me this a lot? Something tells me it's because I comment a lot haha. Well then hello subbie friend! ♡♡
The Grinch is jealous of that glorious shade of green
Which one? There all amazing!
@@neB282 the dream green obvi lol
I didn't know Glorious Leader was into art
@@poisonness no need to be like that I was just trying to be positive
I was worried she was going to hate it I was like nooooo

Kasey: Holographic watercolor ooohh looks so cool
_Cristine wants to know your location_
God i didnt think these communities would mix
Cristine the holoqueen cris cris cris cris cris 🎶🎶🎶🎶
The handmade paper seems like it would be great for charcoal or conte. Not too great with pointy materials, too absorbent for wet media, but the pencil lifted VERY easily. You have lots of greys tones so you should totally try charcoal or less harsh pencils (mechanical pencils will definitely just rip at it)
Maybe graphite blocks ?
The shimmer watercolours would look great as eyeshadow for portrait paintings!
omg yes that’d be so cute
that kind of paper is best for charcoal/lead based pieces! ^v^ we used a similar one for my art course in college

@@beeduomybeloved1849 bruh they aren’t gay :l
I love that kasey is supporting these small businesses during these tough times. Good luck to all those small businesses! Yall are amazing
You should do a “painting with a tooth brush video”
Those shimmering blues, greens and purple paints were fantastic space colours. It was just so pretty!
Cozmic creations on etsy is everything! So good and the metallics are amazing. They have these cute 15 dollar tins if y’all want to try them out. Sooo adorable
ooh yes, ive been looking, and a lot of the tins in other shops can be up to 100 dollars so yeah ill definitely check them out! thx!
They def have some pricy ones but you can get a mini color wheel to play with. ☺️💕
@@JackieButtCrackie ok! awesome thank you!!
The shop she got the holo watercolor from is also pretty good! If you ever want to try some of their paints, I recommend the mini pans! I didn’t know they existed and they are so cute and a wonderful way to try out a new color without getting a half/full pan!
@@jadeabelljean4019 I’m all about those mini pans
That handmade paper would look SO NICE as a background for a gouache painting 😍
Dookie green= Kasey in HEAVEN. Also, how would Posca markers do on the handmade paper?
Poscas seem to rip regular paper... I imagine they'd really shred this paper.
I imagine this paper would crumble and die 😂 Even super hardy paper flails with Poscas.
When i look at these supplies i can only imagine a witch making art with those~~
Me.
You should make this a series! Buying/testing supplies from small businesses!
Everything starts with a "p"
*me counting
"Paint brush."
"Paint."
"Paper."
"Palette?!"
"Pencil?"
"Pen?!?"
*Shocked pikachu face.
LOL 🤣
I was looking forward to this!
Maybe poscas for the grey paper? It would also be cool to do an image all in the ocean paints so from one angle it looks monochrome.
Poscas would absolutely devourer that paper lmao. But bright colors vs the colored paper would be lit 😝
The way the black simplistic style looks against the textured paper is so comforting. I love it.
This is exactly what I need after 3 hours of science homework (and not looking at the checklist and spending over 2 hours on an assignment that was a choice between two- I had done the other one in 5 minutes -_-)
thanks Kasey!!!! :)
Lol not that anyone cares I’m just angry at myself lol
Hi.. Please watch my channel
Holo watercolor? Simply Nailogical, attack!!!
not exactly holo i forgot the word but yes i agree also i hope i wasnt rude :CC
@@UwU-lm9or It likely is holo, I've seen holographic watercolour on etsy before. It's surprisingly difficult to capture the holographic effect on camera if you don't use harsh lighting.
The first swatch with the cookie pallet looked like a rainbow lemon
I've actually had a bad interaction with Canson's paper before. Specifically the XL. It was so bad I thought I had lost any skills I had as a watercolour artist and nearly gave up entirely. I watched a paper comparison review on The Mind of Watercolours and only then did I learn that the problem was the paper. It's ok if you only do fairly flat colours, but the second you try to layer them it just eats the stuff into oblivion. If I were making watercolour books I'd not use anything that wasn't 100% cotton. Its just not worth the loss in quality. I'd want people to want to reach for my book at every chance and not rely on just those who don't need to layer a million times.
No shade what so ever to people who like this paper. I am here and Kasey is known for that very smooth flat colour look and I LOVE it. My style just is super blend heavy and Canson XL doesn't really work for me. I mean I still use it for things like playing around with colours, testing values and it's great for things like greeting cards and making tags for gifts, but I can't make a painting on the stuff.
All of this said, I haven't used the specific type of paper that is in that book and for all I know it could be god tier. I just wanted to say that in my opinion you _can_ in fact "go wrong" with Canson. Lol.
I hope this helps.
Fkcucjsz. I wish I could have gotten this comment days ago.
I ran to my art store just before my city went into lockdown (again) and picked up Canson's XL watercolour pad. And it just. More or less repelled the water. It's been a while since I've painted with watercolour, so I thought all me issues were all me. Thanks, I'll keep this in mind if I'm able to go to the store again.
@@Anjel1e I got lucky, after having trouble with my watercolour paper, and watching the review, I realized that I had some Arches watercolour paper I found when someone put it out on their curb for someone to come and take (had a "free" sign on it) and so when I was able to get over the depletion of self worth I felt, I used it and wow. If you can afford it, Arches is considered the best for a reason. I also purchased a small hot pressed watercolour block and it's my favourite. It's a Chinese company called Baohong and it's also 100% cotton. I really didn't know anything about the importance of paper when I first got good enough at watercolour that I was having fun, and The Mind of Watercolour really opened my eyes. I now look into the paper I buy just as much as I do the paint, and because I'm poor, I need to make sure things don't go to waste. Even though Canson is a fraction of the price of Arches, it's a bigger waste of money for me because I'm just not going to used it as much. Heck, I let my 10 year old use it, when I would never do so with the Arches stuff.
I hope I'm able to help you for future purchases ♡.
@@paranoiarpincess It totally does! I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I go to the store (which might be sure then I would like as I didn't realize I'm out of yellow acrylic). I Thank you again! Hope you and your family is well during these crazy times.
It definitely depends on how you paint. I’ve used a lot of papers including Arches, and Canson XL 140 lb is my favorite for my painting style. I use microns a lot and some papers are far too toothy for my pens, but not Canson. I think it’s worth it for watercolor artists to experiment with papers to find what works best for their work.
I got watercolor to try and I was horrible because the paper didn’t like watercolor and kinda wasn’t good...no it was probably the paper since it was canson xl...oop thank you for this comment since I was pretty much done with watercolor
You should watch simplynailogical's youtube for tips on how to capture holo on camera (hint: phone flash) 😊😊
It’s all so aesthetic 🥺
Kasey: *talking about the stuff she bought*
me: *is only focusing on the little cloud friend in the corner*
Honestly.
HOW DOES KASSEY DRAW SO SMOOTHLY!?
I am in love ❤️
Ah I'm so excited!
I found your channel like a week ago and you have inspired me to finally have fun with my art and just enjoy it. I love your creations at the end of your videos. You have inspired me!
The 2 dislikes are just big businesses
Poemsaboutyou is my favorite Etsy shop for handmade watercolors. Their Mayan Red and Blue are to die for! You should definitely check them out
I love this formate! Wouldn’t be mad about more of these! Wonderful content! Great support.
I get specialty handmade watercolors from etsy (glitter, duo and multichromes, etc) and they are absolutely amazing. I also make and sell mini watercolor sketchbooks with all kinds of fancy fabrics that my customers seem to like.
I was looking forward to this video so much!
same!
these are so cute! you helped me find a style that i really like and am comfortable with, thanks so much kasey ❤️
This was perfect, thank you! Just ordered the shimmer watercolors for my friend for Christmas.
okay but those colors in the space sky are so stunning
Super cute!!!! Your art always brings me joy!
I’ve seen other artists use handmade paper for gouache and it looks amazing! It would be so cool to see you play with that.
Those water colors are so.... just so.... 👌 👌 👌
Really excited to see you review the Beam paint set! I've been eyeing those for a while, they're so eye catching. It's great to hear they're good quality too, maybe I'll take the plunge one of these days!
You want to really see the wow factor on those metallics and holos use them on black paper. I have a set of 40 Mozart Komorebi Watercolors that has 6 neons and 8 metallics (you should definitely review them, they're like a budget friendly Gansai Tambi watercolours) and the metallics look good on white paper but they are stunning on black paper!
Also did I miss your review of the brushes and palette?
_Showing off that space shimmer at the end was so satisfying, the tilted dark blue was gorgeous too!_
Obsessed with the contrast of those matte oranges and reds against the shimmering blues amd greens
I was just thinking of you while drawing some cats with Posca pens XD
That sounds cute!
Ahhh! Kasey swatching supplies! The most satisfying thing ever! Kasey you have made my day!
your videos are simply the best 🥺
I’m so excited to see theses 🥺
Holy cow! I love this!!
Thanks so much for your funny, quirky artstyle in so many videos. You inspired me to try something very different for my still-absolute-beginner test pictures and i got to be happy with a doofus sketch of a girl for the first time
I love love love loooveeee that Illustration. What an idea ✨
I would honestly watch a full video of you making a multicoloured shimmery space background. It's so cool!
Your drawing stayle is so different and fresh, watching you sketching and painting is so much fun.
I live all for art supplies, your choice is great. Fantastic drawings.
Hell, love the way you manage that watercolor like really wow love it
After your haul i ended up getting some handmade watercolour paint, best decision ever! Thanks for putting that thought in my head
Oooh I loved the water/ ocean palette so much ❤️
0:36 | Basically summarizes my struggle with every art supply I own. I know it’s going to be wasted if I don’t touch it all, but messing up and the new ‘quality’ it has when coming out of the package...
Oohhh this was so fun to watch! All of those gorgeous colors 😍 Have you ever thought of trying to make your own watercolors, even if just for a video? I find it SO relaxing to watch paint being milled!
Wow the products are so amazing!!
From experience, making handmade notebooks IT'S NOT EASY but it's worthy, I love how they look when they're finished
I love your videos but idk what it is about your voice ? I always fall asleep mid way 😅 not saying they’re boring I guess your voice is just very soothing to my brain
I just sat down to draw and u posted a video omg ♥️♥️
Omg Kasey that one of my favorite drawings that you’ve done!!!
You can see how excited and how happy she was while doing the drawings lol
I absolutely love this illustration!
Go kasey for supporting small businesses!!
Love the space dog and puppies and cat. =)
Great illustration. =)
I love the brushes! 😍 good job on the art kasey!
Yay you drew a space dog! And the sketchbook is lovely! 😊 have a great day Kasey!
YAY I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!
Waaauw i love this piece!!!
*I love the string in the middle*
Loved this...💫
WOOOO
WOW, very nice love those Ocean watercolors. Do make great space paint as well. Under the sea, painting would have to be beautiful with them. TYFS
your art style is so amazingly unique and adorable. i’m inspired
Hey there! I use the iuile watercolour palettes in my work! To make them their ultimate pigmentation, drop the water on the paint and leave it for 3 minutes, THEN paint! Especially with that holo!! You won't regret this trick!!
I will admit that the way the title was worded has kind of put me off from watching this for the longest time, but I'm really happy to see that the overall tone of the video seems to mostly be positive
omg, I'm early !!!!!!!!!! I love your channel Kasey your one of the many artsy CZcamsrs that got me into art and I love watching your videos !!!!
Hlo kaesy.. i really love ur water colour painting. Its so unique....♡♡♡♡
So cute drawing, and the colors wheres super nice and pretty. 💜
What is that background song? I love it!!
Omg! Everything in this video!
The paints... I just can't! I adore the final piece, the space colours were gorgeous. I just can't get enough.
I went to get some of the holo of £36 for one half pan 😭
i would love more videos like this, that paint pallet is killer
I've been too excited for this video
let’s be honest.
most of us came here for that shimmery poop color.
Uhhh nah
Yesh ✨shimmering poop✨
The brushes for me were way too flimsy, but I am a bit.... aggressive when I paint. 😂 I think the concept is fricking amazing, I hope brands follow suit with more ethically manufactured items. Love the video!
YES I WAS WAITING!! :D
Yoooo I was waiting for thiiiis
I loved this video and seeing you experiment with alternative supplies.
And I checked on the White Dragon Paper site and they sell watercolor paper and even have swatches on them so maybe the order got mixed or they use another technique :)
Amazing colors
Yeah okay, I think I’ll go into debt for cute aesthetic art supplies 🤷🏾♀️
“Poop green”. What are you pooping Kasey? Lol
Love beam paints I want to get more and more 😍 gonna check out the other paint companies! Love iridescence and a holo one sounds sooooooo fuuuuun
I'm so early!!
Thank you for your amazing videos, they've got me through lockdown and helped so much with my depression this year 💜💜💜
HI KASEY!! AHH NEVER BEEN THIS EARLY ILY
This is amazing! I love the supplies and also your artwork! I wonder if you could try these shimmering watercolors on black paper, i am sure the holographic one will show up better. Also try to use a phone flash to light the holographic paint that way the camera can catch the colors, and shimmer!
