hi everyone it's Ray here and in today's video I messed up and uh I need to explain something that
needs to be said I actually think that needed erasers are the best thing ever
all right so basically here's the thing I've been making YouTube videos since 2010. I've been making
art videos since 2016. and at this point I have made hundreds of different videos I've reviewed
thousands of different art supplies and for me I've grown as a person and in that seven year
time span there are supplies that I've completely changed my mind on where I used to hate them but
now I love them and vice versa there's been times in my videos where I will report on an art supply
and the comments will let me know girl that's not the right information or maybe there was a better
and cheaper way to do an art hack that I didn't show in the video but now I know about or maybe
there's just random stuff that I want to update you on that I think would be very useful to you
so in today's video I'm gonna do just that I went through my entire catalog of old videos I wrote
down what I think are the most important updates and today I'm gonna give you guys the most updated
and new information regarding all things art there's a lot of really good information here so
let's get started alright this very first update comes from the video where I tested out really
weird art supplies that I found on Tick Tock and by the way every product that I'm mentioning and
every video that I'm mentioning will be linked in the description box down below in the video
I tested out a self-cleaning brush rinser where basically anytime you have dirty water you press
the button it drains out all the dirty water and replaces it automatically with brand new clean
water and unfortunately in the video I messed up because I built the entire thing wrong and
a lot of people who had the brush rinser were sad that I wasn't able to use it because they
all love it so much so I bought another one for this video I inspected all the pieces to make
sure nothing was broken I asked for help from somebody who I know is an excellent assembler
of items and I'm happy to report the second go-around works perfect I have seen the light
okay guys check this out here we are dirtying it up we got the spring on the outside this time
boom and it refills right back up like magic I am so glad you guys encouraged me to give it a
second chance because this thing is awesome this next update came from a video that was genuinely
traumatizing to make oh God I hate eggs I hate eggs so much in the video I followed a paint
recipe for egg tempera and if you don't know what egg tempera is it is such an important
part of art history it was a way to make paint before paint was accessible and it was used to
make some of the most famous paintings and in the video the recipe that I used to make
the paint was actually not the traditional way to make the paint the recipe I used called for
egg whites but for the traditional recipe you actually use egg yolks okay so I'm gonna try to
get through this without making a lot of grossed out faces so the first thing you're gonna do is
get the egg and separate the egg yolk from the egg white and I'm going to separate the egg yolk from
keep it together Ray keep it together it's just one egg you can do this and
once that's done you're gonna break open the egg yolk put the liquid inside a cup
oh God okay okay ray you can do this mix it with a little bit of water some pigment or in my case
food coloring oh my God okay I did it it's done it's done it's done egg tempura [Music] throughout
my time here on YouTube I have tried every possible Solution on Earth to figure out
how to remove dried up paint from your brushes I have tried so many things I feel like I can make
an entire book out of the things that I've tried [Music] I believe that I have found the Alpha and
the Omega out of everything that I'm gonna tell you guys today this one by far is my favorite
hack this stuff right here Murphy's Oil Soap if you've never heard of this soap you can get it
really cheap at Walmart all the ingredients are naturally derived so basically how you use this
is you just pour a little bit in a cup you put about half a cup to a cup of warm water stick
your dirty paintbrush in swirl it around and I'm not kidding you guys within seconds your paint
will start flaking off it'll start dissolving you keep going keep swirling it and in about
three minutes the paint will literally just flake off slide off and just completely come off your
brush like nothing ever happened to the people who suggested this hack to me you guys deserve a
gold medal Round of Applause you guys are amazing this changed my life in so many people's out lives
out there 10 10 out of 10. this next update comes from video where I tested out banned art supplies
now I feel like this is a mistake that literally 99.9999999999 of the population would probably
get wrong but thanks to you awesome people here on YouTube you guys let us know what's up in the
video I talked about cadmium paint which was temporarily banned in Europe for its toxicity
and in the video I tested out cad-free paint and I compared it to cadmium Hue paint well it turns out
that marketing got us Fooled Again baby so both cadmium Hue and cad-free paint contain no cadmium
but your average person doesn't know that so paint companies have came up with a marketing tactic to
change cadmium Hue to cad-free to make it seem more appealing to the average person who doesn't
know and clearly it works because I didn't know until you guys let me in on what's up so for this
video I bought actual real cadmium paint and in this video we can truly see the difference between
the two alright first stuff will be the cad-free cad which is what I used last video okay she's
looking good just as bright as I remember and next up will be the actual real cadmium [Music]
and the results are they look the exact same just like last time I mean the cad-free is a little
bit brighter maybe it is a little bit oranger but they pretty much in my opinion look the exact same
it's up to you whichever one you want to use but personally I recommend the one that doesn't have
the toxic chemicals inside of it this next update it's a little extra I'm not gonna lie this update
comes from my most popular series here on YouTube where I test out paint colors that no longer exist
in the video I talk about a color that no longer exists called manganese blue this is an artificial
pigment it was used throughout the 1940s and 50s to paint swimming pools and in the video
I explained that the reason the color no longer exists anymore is due to manganese is it manganese
or manganese's manganesis because it's called manganese so is it manganese's but manganese
blue is no longer around due to environmental and human health concerns so yeah all that information
is correct it's all good information but there is actually multiple types of Manganese there's
is a manganese that you can actually buy and take as a vitamin but the manganese that I was talking
about in the video is called barium magnate like I said it's really small it's really minor but I
thought it was interesting and I thought a lot of you guys who liked that video might want an
update too next up we need to talk about one of the most expensive pencil Brands around the fancy
Karen Dosh luminance pencils I first tried these very expensive pencils in a video where I compared
them to Crayola and since then I fell in love with these colored pencils I think everything about
them is fantastic and for a while I truly believe that no other pencil could be as good as these
pencils But as time goes on I just keep using prismacolor Premiere colored pencils I don't know
what it is but nothing on Earth Blends as well as a prismacolor prismacolor has very specific
colors which you won't be able to find with these colored pencils sometimes these pencils they'll
like scrape up other layers of colored pencils and it kind of like messes up my drawings if you are
the type of person who loves prismacolor then you're definitely gonna love these if you want
to treat yourself you're definitely going to love these but for me personally anything you can do
with this 90 dollar pack of pencils you can do the exact same thing with a 20 prismacolor
[Music] and this brings us to the final one if you didn't know back in the day I was a certified
acrylic paint hater I just liked acrylic paint so much that I actually did an entire video all
about why I hate acrylic paint why it was so frustrating to me and just all around how it's
not the vibe and of course in the exact same video I talked about oil paints and how much
I love them how fun they were to work with well fast forward a few years later I have completely
changed my mind about the entire thing to be honest with you it's been about a good two years
since I've last done an oil painting when it used to be my favorite thing of all time and the main
reason that I don't do it anymore is because ain't nobody got time for that one it takes a very long
time to dry it can take anywhere from one week to two months just to dry one single painting
two I don't have the proper ventilation in my room I literally just have a fan and a window
I can't open the window behind me because then you'll hear the birds cars going by Sirens people
walking by lawn mowers random cats and three oil painting is so expensive not only do you
have to have the paint but you also have to have a glass pallet paint thinner area
and just all around if you want to use oil painting it's a lot and looking back I realized
that I was just totally hard on myself because I wasn't perfect at it right at the get-go I would
get mad at myself but when it comes down to realistic acrylic my skill in it tends to be
less than perfect at times I would get frustrated with myself I would beat myself up for not being
perfect and that's the real reason why I hated it so much is just because I was being way too
hard on myself and now fast forward three four years later I've made a Michelangelo painting on
my wall with acrylic paint it just goes to show if you want to be good at something you gotta
practice if you want to be good at something you gotta to be bad at it first you can't beat
yourself up over it you just gotta work at it and it just shows how much as a person I've grown to
be able to take something that once frustrated me and use that to improve myself you know so yeah I
am no longer an acrylic paint hater you heard it here first I love acrylic paints well guys
there you go that was an entire updated list to keep you guys in the know to be honest with you
