I use liquetex basics but I have to say that I have seen so really great art using the craft paints. I love the DecoArt dragonfly glaze. I think you can make art with whatever supplies you can get your hands on....just create.
You did an awesome job on her face!! I don't see how people paint/draw faces, seems impossible!! I use Apple Barrel paints. I love them. They get it done.
My favorite brushes come from Artify. They offer a 24-piece set, but if you're aiming for extremely small details like the ones in this video, I recommend the AILEX 9-Piece fine detail brush set. Also, you can never go wrong with an affordable, basic brush set as a beginner, especially if you're concerned about forgetting to clean them.

Okay question, do your apple barrel paints stink something fierce? Idk if mine have gone bad or what but they are soooo stinky! I have a few more expensive brands that don't really have a smell that are around the same age so I can't tell if it's just the brand or something else
They can be pretty stinky! I think that the multi-surface stinks the most. It reminds me of house paint. It's designed for crafts so I think whatever they use for the binder is stronger than paint made for canvas. It's funny that you mention that because I'm making a video with Crayola washable kids' paint and it has the weirdest smell... I I didn't mention that in the video. I'll have to include smell commentary in the future. 😂
OK I'm almost afraid to watch this lol as an artist who loves liquitex but also buys every color of the 50 cent apple barrel matte paints...those have my heart lol they work so well. And ppl say they aren't certified Lightfast but they are! Most of their colors are the highest rating for light fastness lol...I'm tired of apple barrel hate haha I rock with it over my golden and liquitex half the time and I have a ton of each 😂
Oh my gosh, sometimes the craft paint is perfect depending on the project. I don't worry too much about lightfastness because most of my paintings live in the dark. 😂 Use what you love. 🥰
Amazingly talented artist. Both sides are nice, it's a matter of personal preference.

Thank you! It wasn't easy, but I agree. Apple Barrel paint is acceptable!
Beautiful! I like the right side perhaps a little bit better! Maybe cause she finally made it to emerald city 🥰🥰❤️💚
Thank you Cheryl!
Can you tell me what brushes you use ? I’m new to painting
