I used to work in a craft store, and the highest "loss" (shoplifted) areas were almost always the fine art paints/markers, and jewelry supplies. Partly because the cost adds up fast if you want the good stuff for your project... and partly because there's lots of small, valuable, easily re-sellable items you can shove into a bag or purse without breaking them.
@@Ava-ns4go it's all i can afford atm. I adore oil over acrylic, used it in a summer class and until I can buy my own I have my 50 cent acrylic bottles to use.
Ava Parker find that I like acrylics more because I find myself over blending a lot. The drying allows a restraint that is welcomed for me. It’s also much more affordable. I also find that when working with oils, they have a tendency to become muddy due to their mixing capabilities. I usually mix a slow drying medium into my acrylics before I start painting. Also, more expensive acrylics, like golden acrylics or liquitex have a longer drying time.
ive been using acrylic all my art career, im 15 yo and pretty much a beginner so icant afford to use this stuff, i cant really show u my part but i have one on my insta of black panther @timtam_26

As someone who works in a paint department this was very interesting to watch; and learn about the processes and history of oil paint. I always wondered why the oil paint was more expensive I just figured it was only because of the extra durability and longevity.
The artists did not know they were mummies, manufacturers were scamming them basically, and they stopped buying it when it got out. The equally good, normal brown also available at the time that they were pretending it was was just refined brown rust. Grabbing a mummy lying around was cheaper though that manufacturing a whole barrel of rust and cleaning and processing it etc.

A lot of the metals used to make some paint pigments are toxic and can have deadly reactions with very common chemicals. Some of the more “special” artists from history may even have gone a little crazy because of these metals and chemicals. Some oil paints can also take months or even years to fully dry. Oil painting is pretty hardcore

Mild lead poisoning is associated with aggressive/irritable behaviour, apathy, lack of empathy and finding grotesque things humours.... so "crazy" for short. And since organic lead compounds accumulate in both fat, nerve and bone tissue it is borderline permanent.

watercolors are actually more expensive than oil paints by weight. but since it's meant to be diluted with water, you don't actually need a lot of paint.
I dont really know exaclty how watercolor is made, but the difference between cheap and expensive watercolor is much more noticable than other materials, even for begginers. So i believe that It must be much more difficult to produce
Finally Some one else Notices that..! Thats correct that we do not need a lot of Paint when it comes to watercolor and watercolor lasts longer then oil of the same weight that that does not justify it being more expensive. companies charge for the pigments and the ingredients used in a tube and not how much Paintings and Artist can get out of that tube. its just like saying that an oil Painter who paints very thin should be charged more for the same tube then an oil painter who Paints very thick since hell run out that tube sooner..!

Imagine living your Egyptian life as a king and highly honoured person, dying, being mummified and thousands of years later being turned into _paint_ .
An artist in the 19th century, named Edward Burne-Jones, actually buried his mummy brown paint tube in his garden when he found out that it was really made of dead bodies, not just a funny silly name
Professional pigments are made sometimes from very rare minerals that can be really expensive because they were over mined in the past or are really hard to find and produce at cheap costs. Mineral pigments often work better with paints than synthetic ones, but I know this from watercolor so it might be different for paints? But the pigment your probably using for slime is synthetic since a lot of mineral pigments for paints can actually be extremely toxic to touch or inhale!
Here's a few tips for new artists - Student grade paints are fine, but always buy professional grades of white and, to a lesser extent, yellows. White is actually your most used colour and will be in most of your mixes and it needs to be good and cover well. Basic palette? - start with just - Titanium White, Process Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Burnt Umber and that's it. Add in a tube of Hooker's Green or Sap Green, unless you want to get through an awful lot of yellow! Apart from white, just about every colour you lay down will be a mix and the above will allow you to mix just about every colour there is.
To be fair, most professional traditional oil painters use just five different pigments and mix every other colour from these. Also, oil paint goes a long way: a tiny amount can cover a very large surface. You can spread oil paint very thin without it losing its vibrancy.
So true. Properly grounded pigment in Oil vehicle can encapsulate more pigment than a water binder - so it has more brilliance and covering power, as well as still retaining gloss, permanency and insolubility. Water paints loaded with the same amount of pigment will dry matte and may still partially dissolve in water or in subsequent layering.
@@Hades-Sired that only applies to modern painting. Back when oil paint was created no one was adding thick layers of paint to the canvas, even if the painting contained multiple layers of paint, hence why the surface of the old paintings is generally really smooth
potato paradise Its because people who want free artwork don’t respect the art, don’t acknowledge the amount of hours of experience the artist has accumulated, and they also might just be assholes who don’t want to pay.
I need to show this to my parents so they understand why I was so pissed when they let my little sister play with my oil paints. Edit for clarification: I bought the oil paints with the first paycheck I got from my first part-time job. Because I wanted nice stuff, I bought mid-range quality paints, which were ruined when they let my sister, who was 8 at the time, paint with them. It ruined my brushes and my favorite and most expensive colors were completely used.
@@linearwilt9853 no word of a lie I about cried. I had spent my entire first paycheck at my first real job on decent paints. Thank god my folks replaced them. When they saw how much they cost though I think my dad about had a heart attack.
Me: It's 10pm i don't have a time to watch this, i'm going to sleep. My Brain at 2am: *ARE YOU SURE YOU DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW WHY PAINT OIL IS EXPENSIVE?!!!*
This is why I do digital art: 1) Every pigment is free and I don’t have to buy new ones 2) Erasing is extremely easy 3) I can delete my trash art so people don’t go blind
@Bell Ortua Yeah I’m not a really good artist but usually when I’m thinking about drawing I first start with just drawing irl and then moving to digital cause it’s easier for me to draw irl.
In Austin, Texas, occasionally University of Texas students will take an art class for a semester and then get tired of it. And at the end the year, when mom and dad come to pick them up, if it doesn’t fit in their vehicle, it gets tossed. I used to dumpster dive in May and find all sorts of treasures, including full tubes of pigmented paints.
My aunt was an artist. She plied her art for over 50 years when she switched from oil painting to ceramics. She asked me over to help clean out her studio. She pointed to two closets and three old dressers all jam packed with artist supplies. That is when I inherited around five hundred tubes of oil paint. About half of them were partially used and about half never opened. They were almost all usable. She wanted to rent a dumpster her studio had that much stuff in it. Instead I rented a van. I have hardly bought any art supplies since and that was 25 years ago and I've only used maybe 5% of what she gave me so far. The only thing I really ran out of was canvas. I don't even want to imagine how much she paid for all of that. When she died 20 years ago at the age of 85 she left her ceramics equipment and supplies to my cousin.
Fun story. I bought a cool ring second hand. Big stone. Too small for me but I liked the blue. Turned out to be Lapis lazuli. Had it on my dresser for about three weeks. Liked looking at it. One Sunday morning, for no real reason, felt inclined to stuff it into my pocket. A lady at church, who is a bit of an outlier, shows up wearing a scarf exactly the color and speckling of the ring. I walk up to her, "This is for you." and hand her the ring. :) That was years ago and it still makes me smile.
Back in the 1800s they made a chemical process for mass producing the molecularly identical substance as lapis gemstone from scratch, so modern ultramarine is pretty cheap. And identical/better than the old stuff (purer, no rock mixed in, etc). There's zero reason anymore to use the actual gemstone other than being a hipster.
I never understood why my mom would beat the life out of me when I used her oil paints when I was 7. It’s because the ones I was using WHERE 200 EACH 💀
I've been painting off and on since the late 60s. There are many grades of oil paints for painters. Everything from 'student grade' to very expensive professional grades. Unless you are a top tier pro and command prices to match, you don't really need the best stuff. About 90% of painters will do just fine on anything they can get at Michaels, Dick Blick, or any of the other art supply outlet. Not every painting is done with a thought to posterity or lasting for hundreds of years. I consider the vast majority of my stuff as mostly homework assignments. They are a learning exercise, a way to try out and experiment with ideas. Not every brush stroke is magic. It's a step in an ongoing process. Some things work out and a lot doesn't. You can liken it to an athlete training. Training sessions are just that; training. Not every session is a Superbowl or World Series or the finals at Wimbledon. There are a lot of paintings that never see the light of day. Paint manufacturers put out a rainbow of colors, but you basically need less than a dozen. Really only three plus white. The primaries of a red, a blue, and a yellow. You can mix any color from those three and white.
Very good points, but IMO not exactly because of the reasons you base them on. Today, pigment technologies have advanced so much, mainly thanks to demands from car lacquers and ceramic tiling, that many durable pigments are available at reasonable price points. There are still "student grades", that deserve to still be classed as student grade or maybe rather 'Hobby grade'. But the "Student" market leaders, Winton, Georgian, Van Gogh, Cotman, Aquafine, Galleria, System 3, .. have silently advanced into what must be considered 'Budget Artist Paints', rather than 'Student grade'. The ranges don't offer so big selections, they don't feature the most expensive pigments, and they're not quite as strong as premium artist paints, but in all other regards they're good enough for durable fine art purposes. There are IMO reasons why you should still choose durable paints, even if you're on a budget and consider your painting just exercise or a hobby. First of all, I've seen enough green-grey paintings that someone's talented great aunt painted with cheap stuff not so long ago (main reason they get a green cast is the low lightfastness of the reds they have used, and also from using Alizarine Crimson as a tinting color, minus-green, in mixing). And I have to think: What a waste, how unnecessary. The second reason for buying durable paints, is that if we don't, then we are participating in skewing the market demand, making real artist materials even more expensive. We cannot leave it solely to a handful of professional artists, who can prosper on their art, to support the artist materials market. It really isn't a good practice to use only only three bright paints to mix colors. Most bright reds, magentas and yellows have a weakness. While this weakness is insignificant and irrelevant most of the time, it's greatly and exponentially amplified, the less paint you use, particularly in a mix with a complementary color. If you need to adjust a blue, green, grey, brown color, you should use a red ochre, if possible, instead of a bright red. That's why you should do as the great classical masters, build as much as possible on Iron oxide and Iron hydroxide pigments: Yellow Ochre, Light Red, Venetian Red, Indian Red, Raw and Burnt Sienna, Transparent Red Oxide, Transparent Yellow Oxide... You don't even need them all. With some of those dull yellows and reds, combined with Ultramarine and some carbon black, you can do most things in natural, representative painting. You do need a cold blue, like a PB15:3 Phthalo, a bright yellow, a bright red, a quinacridone magenta. A Phthalo green is also nice to base your greens on, with Ochre or raw Sienna. But unless you're painting flowers, you don't need much of those colors, and can buy them in small tubes. As long as your Ochres and Siennas are the real thing (and not some Korean paint mixed together from cheap, strong Azo printing ink pigments), they're just as completely permanent in the cheap brands as in the Premium. Same goes for Ultramarine (unless it's some Russian paint "improved" with a fugitive dye).
So amazing to see the process. I really enjoy oil paintings. I create art screensavers on my channel so I can use them to turn any tv into Art display. I really like the result so far.

Bro that’s a dumb question. When clearly oil paint has a much finer quality to it
Narrator: “Pigments cost lots of money.”
People: **Puts tons of pigment in slime**
I swear ive seen some people use so much pigment you cant literally play with the slime anymore its such a waste
Professional pigments are made sometimes from very rare minerals that can be really expensive because they were over mined in the past or are really hard to find and produce at cheap costs. Mineral pigments often work better with paints than synthetic ones, but I know this from watercolor so it might be different for paints? But the pigment your probably using for slime is synthetic since a lot of mineral pigments for paints can actually be extremely toxic to touch or inhale!
Dino Dalmatian, oh! That makes sense, thank you for helping me understand! (Btw, I don't really do slime)
@@catsboots803 oh yeah sorry for being long and there is nothing wrong with using a little extra pigment for slime ;D
@@dinodalmatian4781 besides, if you use too much you can just add more slime.
Here's a few tips for new artists - Student grade paints are fine, but always buy professional grades of white and, to a lesser extent, yellows. White is actually your most used colour and will be in most of your mixes and it needs to be good and cover well.
Basic palette? - start with just - Titanium White, Process Yellow, Magenta, Cyan and Burnt Umber and that's it. Add in a tube of Hooker's Green or Sap Green, unless you want to get through an awful lot of yellow! Apart from white, just about every colour you lay down will be a mix and the above will allow you to mix just about every colour there is.

To be fair, most professional traditional oil painters use just five different pigments and mix every other colour from these. Also, oil paint goes a long way: a tiny amount can cover a very large surface. You can spread oil paint very thin without it losing its vibrancy.
oooooooooo
I don't paint but I still thought that was a very cool fact.
So true. Properly grounded pigment in Oil vehicle can encapsulate more pigment than a water binder - so it has more brilliance and covering power, as well as still retaining gloss, permanency and insolubility. Water paints loaded with the same amount of pigment will dry matte and may still partially dissolve in water or in subsequent layering.
My father do this. He is very wary with his oil paints. But he can make it last a fckng lot.
@@Hades-Sired that only applies to modern painting. Back when oil paint was created no one was adding thick layers of paint to the canvas, even if the painting contained multiple layers of paint, hence why the surface of the old paintings is generally really smooth

My aunt was an artist. She plied her art for over 50 years when she switched from oil painting to ceramics. She asked me over to help clean out her studio. She pointed to two closets and three old dressers all jam packed with artist supplies. That is when I inherited around five hundred tubes of oil paint. About half of them were partially used and about half never opened. They were almost all usable. She wanted to rent a dumpster her studio had that much stuff in it. Instead I rented a van. I have hardly bought any art supplies since and that was 25 years ago and I've only used maybe 5% of what she gave me so far. The only thing I really ran out of was canvas. I don't even want to imagine how much she paid for all of that. When she died 20 years ago at the age of 85 she left her ceramics equipment and supplies to my cousin.

Lapis lazuli is a semi precious gemstone, and high quality lapis can cost also, no wonder it costs alot
Fun story. I bought a cool ring second hand. Big stone. Too small for me but I liked the blue. Turned out to be Lapis lazuli. Had it on my dresser for about three weeks. Liked looking at it. One Sunday morning, for no real reason, felt inclined to stuff it into my pocket. A lady at church, who is a bit of an outlier, shows up wearing a scarf exactly the color and speckling of the ring. I walk up to her, "This is for you." and hand her the ring. :) That was years ago and it still makes me smile.
Back in the 1800s they made a chemical process for mass producing the molecularly identical substance as lapis gemstone from scratch, so modern ultramarine is pretty cheap. And identical/better than the old stuff (purer, no rock mixed in, etc). There's zero reason anymore to use the actual gemstone other than being a hipster.
Ultra marine is basically 4k resolution on a 1080p canvas

T0BBi94 America buys allllllll theeeeee oilllllll
I've been painting off and on since the late 60s. There are many grades of oil paints for painters. Everything from 'student grade' to very expensive professional grades. Unless you are a top tier pro and command prices to match, you don't really need the best stuff. About 90% of painters will do just fine on anything they can get at Michaels, Dick Blick, or any of the other art supply outlet. Not every painting is done with a thought to posterity or lasting for hundreds of years. I consider the vast majority of my stuff as mostly homework assignments. They are a learning exercise, a way to try out and experiment with ideas. Not every brush stroke is magic. It's a step in an ongoing process. Some things work out and a lot doesn't. You can liken it to an athlete training. Training sessions are just that; training. Not every session is a Superbowl or World Series or the finals at Wimbledon. There are a lot of paintings that never see the light of day.
Paint manufacturers put out a rainbow of colors, but you basically need less than a dozen. Really only three plus white. The primaries of a red, a blue, and a yellow. You can mix any color from those three and white.
Very good points, but IMO not exactly because of the reasons you base them on. Today, pigment technologies have advanced so much, mainly thanks to demands from car lacquers and ceramic tiling, that many durable pigments are available at reasonable price points. There are still "student grades", that deserve to still be classed as student grade or maybe rather 'Hobby grade'. But the "Student" market leaders, Winton, Georgian, Van Gogh, Cotman, Aquafine, Galleria, System 3, .. have silently advanced into what must be considered 'Budget Artist Paints', rather than 'Student grade'. The ranges don't offer so big selections, they don't feature the most expensive pigments, and they're not quite as strong as premium artist paints, but in all other regards they're good enough for durable fine art purposes.
There are IMO reasons why you should still choose durable paints, even if you're on a budget and consider your painting just exercise or a hobby. First of all, I've seen enough green-grey paintings that someone's talented great aunt painted with cheap stuff not so long ago (main reason they get a green cast is the low lightfastness of the reds they have used, and also from using Alizarine Crimson as a tinting color, minus-green, in mixing). And I have to think: What a waste, how unnecessary. The second reason for buying durable paints, is that if we don't, then we are participating in skewing the market demand, making real artist materials even more expensive. We cannot leave it solely to a handful of professional artists, who can prosper on their art, to support the artist materials market.
It really isn't a good practice to use only only three bright paints to mix colors. Most bright reds, magentas and yellows have a weakness. While this weakness is insignificant and irrelevant most of the time, it's greatly and exponentially amplified, the less paint you use, particularly in a mix with a complementary color. If you need to adjust a blue, green, grey, brown color, you should use a red ochre, if possible, instead of a bright red.
That's why you should do as the great classical masters, build as much as possible on Iron oxide and Iron hydroxide pigments: Yellow Ochre, Light Red, Venetian Red, Indian Red, Raw and Burnt Sienna, Transparent Red Oxide, Transparent Yellow Oxide... You don't even need them all. With some of those dull yellows and reds, combined with Ultramarine and some carbon black, you can do most things in natural, representative painting. You do need a cold blue, like a PB15:3 Phthalo, a bright yellow, a bright red, a quinacridone magenta. A Phthalo green is also nice to base your greens on, with Ochre or raw Sienna. But unless you're painting flowers, you don't need much of those colors, and can buy them in small tubes.
As long as your Ochres and Siennas are the real thing (and not some Korean paint mixed together from cheap, strong Azo printing ink pigments), they're just as completely permanent in the cheap brands as in the Premium. Same goes for Ultramarine (unless it's some Russian paint "improved" with a fugitive dye).
