i don't know how i'm gonna start this video because i have something to share and it might be
hard to believe but it's time that i share my truth i don't know about every single art supply
and what their purposes are and I know it's hard to believe because i built this entire channel
just reviewing art supplies but it's true it's true there's just some art supplies that i have
no idea what they do and i know i know it's hard to believe that i don't know everything in the
world i was shocked too but alas there are just some art supplies that i just don't know about
so i thought today we would remedy that i thought it'd be a fun adventure if today i went
to my local craft store walk up and down the art supply section and just try out art supplies that
i've never seen before stuff that i have no idea what it does or quite frankly just stuff that i
don't know how to use and see if some of these weird and obscure art supplies see if there's a
reason why they're not very popular and why not a lot of people use them before we get
into it my name is rae and if you enjoy really strange and obscure art supplies
as well as art challenges art history and testing out art hacks that's pretty much
my entire gig on this channel so if that sounds like something that's up your alley
and if you're already subscribed thank you and with that being said let's roll out autobots
okay so let's see what we got um this one will be a good one uh this next item is called liquid
frisket which i absolutely love the name frisket it kind of sounds like biscuit it kind of sounds
like brisket it kind of sounds like frick it and essentially what this is is a little tube of
liquid latex and what you do with this is whenever you're using like inks or watercolor or markers
you guys know the drill once you put like marker on a page it's not coming off there's no erasing
it for example let's just say you're working with some watercolor and you're painting a face
and you don't want to mess up the whites of the eyes so what you do is you get the liquid frisket
you put a little bit of the liquid frisket on the areas that you want it to be completely white
and it dries down on the paper basically creating like a little protective barrier and when you're
done painting or drawing or whatever you peel off the liquid latex and bada bing bada boom the area
that you wanted preserved will stay preserved and i am a little concerned because this liquid
frisket it has like a neon orange glob at the very bottom of it i'm guessing it's some kind
of like separation or something and because i've never used this product before i have no idea if
that's normal or not now for the frisket according to the directions the very first thing that you do
is shake it up and hopefully i shake it enough that that weird orange thing is gonna go away
uh kinda it's mostly gone
oh the stuff stinks this stuff smells straight up just like literally like burnt rubber it
stinks really really bad and all i'm gonna do is paint like a nice thin line of frisket
and from this point forward i just wait
now that it's dry the next step is to add a little bit of paint
and once the watercolor is on this leads to yet another round
of waiting and now for the final step this part is going to be so satisfying to me
i love those asmrs with the nails or they're like tapping and stuff
oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh this works insanely good
like suspiciously good the areas where i laid down the frisket it's pretty much
perfect there are some areas of the frisket where you can see like little red dots and
that's because i didn't lay it on thick there was like some bubbles and i guess those bubbles popped
and when they popped i guess they let the paint seep in so that's 100% my fault not the frisket's
fault but other than that it dried quickly it worked perfectly and it was satisfying to peel off
this product is absolutely so cool it makes me feel like i'm living in the future or something
if i had to rate this i would have to give this a perfect 10 out of 10. this is awesome
there's so many good stuff in this bag like i don't know which one to get next you know
out of everything if this item does work i'm just gonna warn you guys now
i'm never gonna shut up about this product i have been wanting something like this forever
so what this is is a magic black eraser and it's specifically designed to erase charcoal
graphite and pastel chalk i love using charcoal pencils i love the range the value i love how
dirty they get i love how nice portraits come out but the problem is for me at least when i
use charcoal pencils they don't erase very well i mean they do erase but it leaves kind of like
a weird after mark on it but supposedly this is the answer to my prayers i don't think i
mentioned this earlier but this eraser is by the brand generals and if you don't know general's
charcoal is literally the only charcoal that i work with and i don't know maybe it'll work
better because it's the exact same brand as the magic eraser so i'm just going to try it out
and before i even test out these first i want to try to erase it
with just like a regular eraser to see if there's any difference
technically charcoal does erase but it does leave some kind of like a weird after mark on it
this is exactly what i'm talking about and let's see if this magic black eraser makes
any difference at all oh and by the way it kind of feels exactly just like
a regular eraser it's a little bit harder but they feel the exact same
um i mean it kind of worked the packaging led me to believe that it's gonna erase
perfect like it's not gonna leave anything left behind and unlike a regular eraser the
lines that it erased are much more sharp so it does erase a little bit better but as far
as like that weird after mark that you find with charcoal pencils i mean it's still there
so i don't really know how to review this because on one hand yes it does work but on the other hand
it doesn't work as well as it advertises and these are way more expensive than just
a regular eraser that you can get it like dollar tree or whatever so based on that
based on the fact that it's not as kablam as it shows on the advertising i would rate this maybe
a 5 out of 10. it does kind of work though
now for this next art supply i just want to say that a lot of artists we tend to
either have a preference for acrylic or oil paints and i'm sure that there's some magical
unicorn of an artist out there who enjoys both equally but i've noticed that a lot
of artists in general they either prefer the very fast vibrant thin drying acrylic paint
or they're like myself who prefers the more thick slow drying oil paint and by the way
i'm trying to say oil instead of oil okay so if you hear me switch it up that's why i'm trying to
say it correctly and the entire reason that i'm bringing all this up is because this paint
combines the best of both worlds this paint my friend is slow drying acrylic paint i've heard of
these before but i've never had the opportunity to see if they actually work according to the
packaging these give you so much more time if you want to spend more time blending maybe you want
to mix up some colors maybe you don't like the way that acrylic dries super quick on your palette so
basically this seems to be the best of the both worlds so my question is why is this not more
widely used amongst artists everywhere right off the bat it has a pretty good variety of just like
regular sized tubes and it also comes with a giant tub of white which i love whenever art companies
do that because when it comes to like white or black or colorless blenders these are the colors
that you're just going to be using constantly so i love whenever art companies go the extra mile
and add in like a full giant size thing of white the thing that catches my eye is what is this
according to the packaging it's kind of like whenever you have some acrylic and it's like
really thick so you add a little bit of water in it to kind of like thin it out you know
that's exactly what this does now usually i would just go straight in with like swatching
it and seeing what all colors they have but like i said this is a completely new
thing to me so to test this out i'm gonna try it on just like two regular acrylics
see how they blend get my mind jogged for like the formulation and go from there
so it's only been four minutes since i started swatching this and pretty much as you can see
it's pretty much already almost completely dry it's a little bit tacky but it's almost dry
and supposedly that's not going to be the case with these paints
this is weird this is the weirdest thing i've ever experienced right now my mind is completely
tripped because this paint is very thin it's very liquidy it's very vibrant like acrylic it's a
lot smoother than regular acrylic and it's a lot more transparent than regular acrylic in fact to
tell you guys how transparent it is on the tube where the little sample is you can actually see
the black lines underneath because the paint is so transparent but and this is a big butt
it's blending just like oil paint the technique i used is called dry brushing where you get a
really fluffy brush and you kind of like smear it against two oil colors and it like melts perfectly
for me personally that's a technique that i would never in a million years use with acrylic because
it just dries so quickly but i was able to do that with this weird frankenstein paint and the
other thing that's tripping me out is usually with oil paint the colors inside it are usually a lot
more natural and dark and usually acrylic is the one that has much more vibrant and crazy colors
but this paint is acrylic so obviously you're still going to get those crazy bright colors
i think my brain just broke this is some paint that i'm going to have to look more into this
but um if i had to rate this just based on first impressions alone
i'm gonna have to give this an 8 out of 10.
this is weird i want chloe to try this out i bet she would get a kick out of this
and this actually leads us my friends to the very last item last night i had a dream about
it yesterday i was considering filming this video with like no makeup on because i was that eager
to try this stuff out at this point i've read the instructions i still have no idea what it's for i
don't know why this has a purpose i don't know who would want this and i'm 100% open to like knowing
about this product like i'm so eager to try it so what this is is a very very interesting strange
art supply that i've never heard of this is golden brand crackle paste so what this is is a white
opaque medium that cracks as it dries i think the description of this is pretty clear on what it
does it's literally a paste and when you put those paints mixed with this stuff on your painting
it apparently cracks your paint and i guess i've just been doing art for so long my tiny monkey
brain just doesn't understand like what is the need to crack your paints the only things that
i can think of is maybe like adding this to your painting for like a fun texture in the background
that's all i got and that's it so yeah let's go ahead and try this bad boy out and see if i
can get it to make some really really big cracks all right so i watched a tutorial on this crackle
paste and apparently you have to lay it on kind of thick onto your painting and i saw that if you
apply it too thin it won't do the crackling effect and i'm just gonna oh it's like whipped cream
this looks like um marshmallow fluff i don't know if any of you guys know what i'm talking about
but that's exactly what this looks like forbidden marshmallow snack
the instructions say that you can dilute it a little bit with paint like up to ten percent
so i'm just gonna add a little bit of paint and just get a little bit
of color in there that way it'll be a little bit easier for you guys to see
it kind of smells like um what is that stuff when you bleach your hair
you put in the bleach which is the powder and then you put in the liquid i can't remember
what it's called but it stinks exactly like this which is probably not good and i guess i'm just
going to layer it on very thick and very evenly and yeah see how much it crackles on the canvas
now like i said this is obviously my very first time ever using something like this so i don't
know how long it's gonna take but on the packaging it says that it can take up to three days so
i guess i'll see you when i see you the smell of this stinks so bad and it's so potent that i think
i'm just gonna leave it in here in my laundry room and i'll check back in tomorrow and see i
want to taste this so bad it looks like forbidden frosting okay i'll check back up in three days
okay so it is currently the next day and before anybody says anything the answer is yes
i am wearing the same jacket and shirt from yesterday please don't come for me
i just pulled this guy out of the laundry room it's been a little bit over 24 hours i
would say maybe like 38 hours or something like that and even though i'm still very
clueless as to what this supply actually does it actually 100 came through check this out
this is exactly what my skin looks like whenever i don't moisturize the amount of cracks that
this paste produce is absolutely insane and it's kind of interesting because in some areas where i
applied it very thinly it has really small cracks and in the areas where i globbed on a thick layer
the cracks are much bigger and much more dramatic this thing dried down hard as rock so i'm guessing
in theory what you would do is paint directly on top of this and maybe get some like really cool
textures and if you have an idea what to do with this please let me know i would love to know but
yeah even though this is one of the most obscure art supplies that i've ever used it does work it
is a little hard to get it perfectly even on the canvas and obviously you can't control where it
cracks but other than that it worked exactly how it said so i'm gonna give this a nine out of ten
but anyway guys that concludes today's video thank you for joining me on this
crazy interesting weird adventure i feel like we found some pretty good gems in this if you
want to see more weird art supplies i'll leave the playlist here if you haven't yet please subscribe
and yeah with that being said i hope you guys have a good day and i will see you guys next video bye
