I only ever got these little pots as part of paint by numbers sets. My most vivid memory of them is that the lids were either impossible to open, didn't close properly or refused to stay open. Sometimes all of the above.
It just shows that even using cheap kids supplies can make really good art pieces. Tho I think Kasey should have put whiskers on the catagon (cat dragon)
These are tempera paints which is used for all kids painting. Its washable and not actually acrylic. The main difference between acrylic and tempera paint is in their composition. Due to the makeup, acrylic is more durable, glossier, and thicker and is better suited for traditional art projects. Tempera paint is thinner, faster drying, and easier to clean up, even after drying.
@@wayfaringspacepoet Yes. What is sold as tempera paint to kids is essentially a low quality version of a gouache. There is real artist tempera, which is the actual tempera, but that is a different type of paint that is made with high quality pigment and egg. I have no idea why the term tempera is used for kids' paints.
I used to hate kid's tempera paints, but I kind like them now. They're semi-transparent so I can see my lineart, and they wash right out like watercolor. You just need to find the paper for them. It should be quite thick, yet doesn't have sizing like watercolor paper. Thinning with water honestly makes them feel awful, so when I want a tint, I just use my white paint.
1:27 is it just me or are these paints really not that bad compared to what i remember them being (or what they were) when I was little?? Those have some good coverage and pigmentation!
I LOVE this illustration! The clouds as a frame works so well and the dragon is cute! And I kinda feel like the mistakes just adds character. I legit love this piece!
It turned out so cute!! Love the dragon, layout, sky, and colors! I know it caused problems, but I think the texture really adds to it with the chunkier, streak filled sky and even some of the fluffy rips in the clouds! Amazing job, as usual 😁
I don’t “think” I’ve seen it (at least not in a while) but since you are so good/experienced in cutting washi tape - have you used it as “masking fluid”? (Either washi tape/painters tape/art tape) I feel like it world probably take the same amount of time to do (brushing vs cutting) - or like you mentioned (using masking fluid more) maybe you could do a dedicated video for masking fluid with different types/brands and different art mediums? I’ve definitely had experienced the same issue with masking fluid 😭 I really like how the dragon & background turned out! The crayola videos are some of my favorites 💜
Kasey is the only artist I have found on RUclips who creates at least one but usually multiple illustrations every single video, and it actually feels like she's having fun doing it
Love this, so cute! A tip for masking fluid, use a solid silicone brush to apply it. I find that it works the best because you can clean the brush to remove the dried fluid that gunks up.
I found the Molotow brand masking pen works on more paper brands than so many others! I use masque it for most of my watercolor paintings but bought the Molotow masking pen on a whim and I was surprised at how well it worked! I believe that you can create no matter the supplies, since you are a tremendous artist! So cheap paint is not a roadblock for you!
This also reminds me of the sheer paints you use for sun catchers. You should do a video making them or attempting to paint on glass and having the image show on the other side of it.
Oh man, I always wanted paints like that as a kid. Any kind of paint that was ready to dip the brush into - ANY! All my parents would get me as a kid were opaque paint cakes, and that just wasn't the same. Whenever I was somewere where I could paint with paints like that, I would get super excited.
Thank you for sharing another video with us! I'm sure you've already thought of it (since you do so much washi tape art), but I've always found for larger areas, covering the area I want to mask off with making tape/washi tape and then cutting it out (like you do with your washi tape art) works leagues better than masking fluid. It doesn't tear up the paper, I don't accidentally miss areas, and there's no drying time. I still use masking fluid for tiny areas but definitely prefer tape for larger sections.
They finally got the memo on these paints to make the tops individual. All I can think of is when they'd all be attached in one long strip and opening/closing the sets of paint was a nightmare 😂
Hii I, Always love your content... I went to click on something and the notification came up over it right before I clicked and accidentally came her super early ✨
Do a fullon video focusing on masking fluid! Testing out different techniques, use it differently on several printings! Would love that! Also - love the illustrations! 🥰
Some other comment said to "pull it off slowly in the same way you pull a command strip" (whatever that means!) so that might help. I usually just use washi tape/masking tape and cut around whatever I need to mask, which works well if you don't mind potential knife marks on the paper (which is most visible when using watercolors over it, but can also be used to your advantage if your cut-lines are clean and look nice). Might also be able to avoid the marks if you're light-handed and only cut through the tape! Would definitely test these tips on a small scale before using them on a big piece though, just to be safe ☺️
I've been thinking about these paints lately!! sometimes I'd like to try them out again as an adult and this video definitely hasn't dissuaded me lol -also just realized this was uploaded on my birthday, I think it's a sign lol-
your videos always give me inner childhood joy. I am happy to see that no matter your supplies or level of artist as long as you have fun it's worth it! 💗
it's amazing. each time you show of these things like these cheap childhood colors which I hated i think "ok but this time what she draws will look horrible" but each thing you draw looks like a super PRO art piece xD
I’m sure someone has said this already. But to keep masking fluid build up on your brush, work it in some very soapy water (like 2parts soap and 1part water, and using a liquid dish soap like dawn) make sure it covers all the bristles and DON’T WASH OUT THE SOAP. Dab off the excess water but still keep it damp, and then start using it with the masking fluid. It will make the masking fluid easier to wipe off the brush in between strokes and helps cut down the buildup.
i absolutely LOVE the duality between you and Doodle Date's experience with crayola products 😭💖 i love the outcome of the piece i'm so glad you embraced the glitter paints the way that you did
I also have issues with masking fluid, so instead I just use masking tape over the shape and a exacto knife to cut around whatever I'm trying to mask! It works better for me than the fluid that more often than not messes with my paper, although you might get some knife marks on the paper if you cut too deep through the tape. I don't mind it since the alternative is so much worse 🤷♀️
Hey Kasey! I’m a watercolor artist that relies a lot on masking fluid, so I thought I could give you some tips: -Try to apply it in a constant thickness -Remove it by pulling on it slowly, like you’d remove tape from the piece. Rolling tends to break up the paper easier. -Once in a while, wash your brush while applying. Latex is water soluble while in liquid form. Good luck!
I love your videos! Kitty nose & whiskers tho? Lol and I missed the back leg... looked more dopey and cute with it but honestly you have such fun videos and they're oddly comforting as well. You're very talented and I love watching you dive in.
I was born in the 00’s but have older siblings from the early 90’s so I remember using these when they were old and hardened or had devolved into goopy globs. 😄 We had some from a 3D dog miniature painting set, it was super cute and fun.
When I was little I had a Derpy mlp figurine and i wanted to make a fnaf Toy Bonnie mlp figurine so i took Derpy and painted her with these exact paint but i ran out cause they had to little paint in the containers on top of that they were kinda dried, but they didn't wash off that well... I'm sorry Derpy Hooves.
Hey Kasey you should try a ruling pen to apply your masking fluid. They are cheap and come in different sizes. Takes a little getting used to because it’s basically a dip pen but the best part is they are metal so the masking fluid won’t ruin anymore brushes. You can even use them with paints to make really crisp lines. Might be worth looking into.
I loveeeed these! I wish to find that type of paint again, it's so flowie and nice, I use a lot of cheap art products cause it's a hobbie and I think it's the person doing that makes the piece an art piece, a person with no passion can do very bad with expensive itens soooo... Thank you for the video! Your mind is soooo creative and I got surprised with every piece you do!
There are brushes for skin care, or not brushes but spatula/tool thing for masks that are made of silicone, i think there are aome for paint too, but I think something like that would help with masking fluid, easier to clean so it doesn't clump up
ngl kinda wanna pick me up that set, ya know, just to fuff around with, but also cus for cheap kids paints it actually looks like they work really well.
That brush is not a good brush but my childhood craft kids that came with a brushes for more like plastic rods then actual bristles so that one's pretty good.
To not be wasteful it would be nice if you kept making art with them but have to use only the paints remaining and we can all see the last paint standing.
I've only just started watching this video and I'm already furious at this brusH smh
- Steph
hello steph!
The *brush*
Also hi steph, big fan of yours! :D
They may not seem great to paint with as you’re older, but these were the best paints to get get you to stardom as a kid.
That and big marker sets.
i hated them
i got them as a gift bc i was known to like drawing, and i despised it lol
I only ever got these little pots as part of paint by numbers sets. My most vivid memory of them is that the lids were either impossible to open, didn't close properly or refused to stay open. Sometimes all of the above.
the thing about the lids is so true XD
Frr the damn things were so indecisive
It just shows that even using cheap kids supplies can make really good art pieces.
Tho I think Kasey should have put whiskers on the catagon (cat dragon)
and also shape the pupils ! Like making them narrow like cats when they are in bright environment
Drat*

so are tempera paints essentially a kind of kids' grade gouache?

@@justacatwhocantype me neither, it's caused me so much confusion over the years
I thought it was tempera! Glad to know I was right!

I feel like the glittery sky really embraces the fact that it is using kid’s art supplies
It turned out so cute!! Love the dragon, layout, sky, and colors! I know it caused problems, but I think the texture really adds to it with the chunkier, streak filled sky and even some of the fluffy rips in the clouds! Amazing job, as usual 😁
My childhood right there.
Kid me would’ve LOVED the big box with the diverse colors!

Could you use washi-tape
This episode makes me so nostalgic ahh the good old days 😊
This also reminds me of the sheer paints you use for sun catchers. You should do a video making them or attempting to paint on glass and having the image show on the other side of it.
when you use masking fluid, you want to pull it off slowly in the same way you pull off a command strip. it will never rip your paper again. 👍🏻
OMG the mems!!! YES. hahah
I love how this came out! I really appreciated your family friendly language ❤️. Thank you for a really fun, cool, and relaxing video. I needed that.
Yes, glad she does not curse

That sky! So so starry. Please let me know if you find a solution to the masking fluid. I’ve tried and tried and so tired of it eating up my papers.

I used to hate those paints as a kid 🤣🤣🤣
Same😭😭😭
That plastic paintbrush looks 10x better than the ones I got. Pure black plastic tip :,)
I got anxiety just looking at that thumbnail. I do indeed remember those paints...
I love this painting so much it's so beautiful and pretty
12:34 when u said Sakura Micron Pens....I heard f*cker Micron Pens 👀
Secund comentsry
your videos always give me inner childhood joy.
I am happy to see that no matter your supplies or level of artist as long as you have fun it's worth it! 💗
The texture can be like scales on the cat-dragon or maybe if we are going a bit darker it got sun damage or hurt. I don't know 😕.
Would you do animals out of the alphabet like draw an ant but the letter has be incorporated in the ant
U need a special eraser to get that masking fluid off easily
so who else actually raised their hand without thinking?
second time of asking Kasey to do a review of mechanical pencils/the erasers that come with them!
I love it when you go big! It’s so colorful and playful 😍
lemon-marshmallow-dragon-cat creature :D
UGH NOT THAT PAINTBRUSH 😭
So cute but what if it was creepy? 🤔
I would cut off the connectors n would end up loosing some lol
This is different to you normal stuff but I like it
it's amazing. each time you show of these things like these cheap childhood colors which I hated i think "ok but this time what she draws will look horrible" but each thing you draw looks like a super PRO art piece xD
i think the paints tempura paint
Cat-dragon? Toothless!!
Paint pods were a nightmare.

The forbidden and cursed brush
Kasy, on paintings this big, you can use masking tape. Cut it like washi tape, to shape, and it's shouldnt rip your paper
I also have issues with masking fluid, so instead I just use masking tape over the shape and a exacto knife to cut around whatever I'm trying to mask! It works better for me than the fluid that more often than not messes with my paper, although you might get some knife marks on the paper if you cut too deep through the tape. I don't mind it since the alternative is so much worse 🤷♀️
Love your work. So loopy and crazy but such fun. I always look forward to your posts each week.
I still have some of those
I’m so early! X-x
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragon."
"... You mean 'dragged in'?"
"No. Cat dragon."
Are cats the new ants?
Spyro is like a little cat. In fact, one Spyro-like project has a robot cat and her little drone friend to substitute for Sparx!
Hey Kasey! I’m a watercolor artist that relies a lot on masking fluid, so I thought I could give you some tips:

Ahhhh poster paints! These ones suck quite a lot less than the ones I was working with as a kid lol

Kinda wish you hadn’t used the metallic paint on the sky, looked perfect before that. But still great nonetheless
You should do one of those challenges where you try to fill 100 pages of doodles!
Or you could do paper mache of your OC’s or something.
i love this illustration! it reminds me of the children’s book My Father’s Dragon
I love how that looks tbh especially the sky! Now I kind of want those paints...
Wow I was really surprised to see that background! It turned out lovely!!
There are brushes for skin care, or not brushes but spatula/tool thing for masks that are made of silicone, i think there are aome for paint too, but I think something like that would help with masking fluid, easier to clean so it doesn't clump up
I would wash the tubs out and put in my good gouache paints. Then I could live my childhood paint joys.
ngl kinda wanna pick me up that set, ya know, just to fuff around with, but also cus for cheap kids paints it actually looks like they work really well.
That brush is not a good brush but my childhood craft kids that came with a brushes for more like plastic rods then actual bristles so that one's pretty good.
I still have those. But i've UpGrAdED Heh-
I literally live on the other side of the world (Philippines) but I had these when I was younger!
i really love ur style ur my favorite artist... u inspire me a lot!
You have such a distinctive style, I was curious if you have any tips to help me find a feel that’s my own.
That paintbrush is the reason I never did painting.
To not be wasteful it would be nice if you kept making art with them but have to use only the paints remaining and we can all see the last paint standing.
I wanna do a mini experiment to see if cooling or freezing the paper before peeling the masking fluid to see if it rips less
i would LOVE to see cat-dragon stickers!
You might just need a different brand of masking fluid
The dog/kangaroo sketch is just Scooby Doo lol
"look at that mouth, that's a dragon"
which mouth Kasey?
I don't know how to do contest in RUclips....but i am back again
❤️❤️❤️❤️💗💗💗💗
this just made me realize toothless from “how to train a dragon” is a cat or dog dragon lol
Tbf, I think the roughness is kind of on-brand for this sort of paint lol
Kasey used less than 10 colors out of the 40 plus colors lol please make a part 2 hehe
0:24 I hate that kind of brush. I rather if there isn't any in the packet.
👻💚
Does anyone else think this looks like chikn nugget?
I can recall the smell of these paints so vividly
