Yeah here in the Netherlands we use them quite a bit as well

In Ireland too, it's hard to find a stationary or art shop that doesn't have some

We use them here in Canada too quite a bit.

In France it's quite the same situation. They are litteraly everywhere here.

YESSSSSSSS (Actually, jk, fuck no. Dogs are horrible.)

I second this!!!

Ya chloe could do a video like 'my dogs choose what I draw'!!

What a great idea!

I love the idea of the store

I have one nearby too. The name is like Hidden Treasures or something like that, I think it’s a new thing popping up around the country

thats pretty smart, would help with waste.

@@smithmarina970 most of it is cheap phone cases and coasters, but there are some hidden gems here and there.

I think that is a amazon liquidation store not any normal one

I doubt it. His show was called "The Joy of Painting" not "The Joy of Making Art" and his entire ethos was that anyone can learn to paint without assistive devices. You should just go for it, make mistakes and turn them into happy little accidents and just enjoy the act of putting paint on the canvas. Bob Ross has become a caricature and now people believe that he was this saccharine character who showed nothing but love and kindness to everyone and everything at all times and never displayed any emotion except happiness and acceptance. He had many wonderful traits, but he was human like everyone else.

Btw I don't think there's anything wrong with "paint with water" books, if someone isn't comfortable or able to use real paint and a canvas then those books can be a great way for them to participate, although I don't think they should have used Bob Ross' artwork for it. My point was just that Bob Ross likely wouldn't have reacted to it in the way that you and the other people who liked your comment believe he would have

Would you say they’re a good investment to a beginner first stepping back into the art world since school art lessons?? I’m trying to find an art style I like at the minute but I only have normal graphite pencils and a few posca pens I got for Christmas. I also have a watercolour set that I’m a bit daunted by so I’ve not done much with that XD I’m trying to improve my basic drawing skills and get over my perfectionism

I thought the same thing

It's chloe, she always forgets that one step..

😶 I wasnt going to say it.. but I was looking for this 😖

She also forgot to knead the dough before placing it in the mold.

This was literally what my comment was gonna be lol glad I checked if someone called it first 🖤😁 Merlin and Arthur are so adorable!!

same bestay lol

same

We’ve had them for at least a few years here in Seattle! It’s crazy to see them expanding like this.

Same here

It is so cute!!!!!

She needs to get another one and call her Guinevere XD

Honestly, the magic watercolor reminds me of stuff parents get for kids to keep them busy without the mess. I totally agree with you though.

Well Ross has unfortunatly passed, and so he is now a property to sell. Saw a toaster that leaves a pic of Ross on your bread a few weeks ago

I agree with you but also think it's the way some famous people become an icon after passing away so there is just all kind of stuff with them that of course are made just to sell and make money but looking other side for people who likes them is like keeping him alive in the collective memory so it's like mixed feelings with this kind of things I think is awful to use him to make money out of his image but I kinda like seeing his face and sayings appears once in a while!

Boy do I have a documentary for you. If you haven’t seen the doc Happy accidents betrayal and greed, it’ll explain all of that and the sadness of why they exist

'Amazon 4-star isn't something you should trust, it's not very good.' You can definitely put them in the same sentence but the words in between make a big difference.

It’s a capitalist system, it’s not exactly evil, it’s how businesses grow. Yes it’s sad for smaller store owners who go out of business and that is understandable! But it’s how capitalism works, people have the chance to make their own business and grow it. Amazon thrived and has grown and others haven’t. I wouldn’t call it evil, it’s a natural part of the system

Capitalism has led to some of the widest gaps in wealth since we started keeping track so much so that anti-capitalism has turned into a worldwide movement so maybe Amazon is just part of the system but also may the system is the problem

@@bubble_tea4_life486 mmmok....

@@cleverhandle420 what do you propose is the solution?

don’t talk to me like that, if you don’t like what I have to say just say you disagree. I’m tired of the “if not capitalism, then what?” argument. It’s old and it shows people aren’t willing to admit things aren’t working but they don’t know how to change anything bc they believe capitalism is the answer even though they know nothing about capitalism, how it works, and how it’s been applied in various governments. Firstly, Amazon isn’t benefiting off pure capitalism. It’s gotten where it is solely by anti-competitive practices. That’s not my opinion, that’s the conclusion of the economists who study Amazon. And it was able to get there thanks to “pro-capitalist” conservatives and rich lobbyist chipping away at the pro-capitalist, anti-competitive laws for decades to decrease competition and pad their own pockets. Again, not my personal opinion. Just known facts. Another known fact is that America isn’t a true capitalistic society. More so than most but I imagine u don’t know to what I’m referring so let’s just stick with the fact that no country, ever, had reached true capitalism. Every “capitalist” society has some sort of social welfare system in place and every economist, no matter what system they prefer, that isn’t a pure capitalist agrees that these are necessary parts of the economic system that drive massive amounts wealth and increase the health of the general population which also drives wealth. As do most American politicians which is why have a lot of welfare systems in place. We’re a mixed-market economy but only of of those markets is ridiculously unpopular here. So one may say well all we need is more capitalism but that’s no different than asking for world peace and expecting everyone in charge not to try and get mad at each other. Well then we make laws that protect it so that people can’t ruin it but that’s what we did and then we ruined it. We could debate the social structures and various outcomes but again I doubt you know to what I’m referring and I’ve not the Fs to give in KZfaq comments but it also is extremely unpopular to the general population. Enter, the wealth gaps. Trying to make a more capitalist society always results in public anger that then results in some sort of welfare net. Challenging the assumption that the pursuit of the idea that personal wealth benefits all of society (and doesn’t at all harm other people, forms of life, the environment, quality, etc etc) has proven difficult to those who have directly benefited from it and those that know nothing else and assume they just need to work harder but to most experts this has been long proven wrong time and time again. So, you ask, if not capitalism, then what? Well there’s already experts working on that solution and a new economic system that, funnily enough, would lie somewhere between socialism and an “inclusive” capitalism that reflects the will of the current people and can easily slide in the given direction that is needed at the moment (but leans far more socialist than it is right now). We already know systems like this work you just have to adjust for culture. Oh you say, that’s not even an answer, I must be right, haha. Well your first presentation of stupidity is assuming there is an easy answer. Not to fix capitalism, to fix wtf we’ve used it to do worldwide. Your second is assuming the perfect solution already exists and is ready to be put in place tomorrow, see my above point. Given that most young adults in America, and I do mean most, reject capitalism outright you can say it’s already dead. It’s just clinging on to survival at this point, mostly thanks to white boomers. And again, that’s not my opinion. The same is true worldwide. The truth is that we have the economy we choose to have. Not raising minimum wage, decreasing welfare for people in between low paying “at-will” jobs, no guaranteed access to healthcare or secondary educations, no guaranteed access to increasing priced housing, gentrification being allowed to happen unabated, eroding anti-competitive laws, the wealthy protecting the wealthy using “trickle-down economics.” That’s the general idea of the economy we have chosen to have. And by we, I mean the white boomers. All the talk and structured ideas from policy experts, economists, politicians on what a different economy could look like without capitalism and how we would do it means it’s just a matter of time before the bad ideas fall to the bottom of the pile and the good ideas rise to the top and slowly, but surely, a new system is put in place. And hey, next time u wanna stupidly blame Amazon’s wealth on “capitalism” and then ask what a better solution is maybe open a few textbooks, read a few research papers, and some news articles instead.

Late but Gimme the address ima do a robbery tonight on that stuff /j

Judging by majority of comments here… that ship has sailed.

Malls are not putting small businesses out of business, online shopping and big box stores are. Both big box and online stores can charge less for their products. Small businesses can't compete with their prices. Malls have been around for decades and are no longer a major player in the retail game. Blaming malls is like blaming food you ate 10 years ago for you being overweight. It's ridiculous.

It's probably because AliExpress is in trouble with PayPal for being full of scammers. Amazon doesn't use PayPal.

Lol there should be an Amazon themed monopoly game where the different places to monopolize are small businesses and the money looks like Amazon gift cards and the characters are, like, different Jeff Bezos expressions. The goal would be knocking out all the small businesses and get the most money from it. It'd be a very sad game...

Oh believe me. Most ppl are well aware of this. I’ve worked at a few diff stores in my life as well as my friends and on more then once occasion we’ve been taught that during our training lol.

It's the same as Walmart, but Amazon is probably worse.

Monopoly is defined as "the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service." You can buy everything but their Amazon Choice brand elsewhere. They're not a monopoly.

They’re not legally a monopoly in the USA (they fall short a bit) but economists would debate the specifics of whether their business practices fall afoul of antitrust practices. You’re not wrong to question though as governments are looking to change their laws to address companies like Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, and Apple for “unfair business practices” including our own. Given that they have massive amounts of data that other sellers aren’t privy to while selling competing products has led to multiple antitrust investigations and what we call in the US “monopoly power.” Sadly we don’t have laws to address the digital age power that helped these companies grow to have so much power and the FTC is basically STARING at them these days and has been for YEARS - our laws are just archaic, but you know. Congress I’m sure is working together to find a solution sometime in the next fifty years or so. Amazing that people never make sure there’s room for unexpected change when they come up with laws as most of our laws don’t address the power that the internet has given bad actors.

MERLIN FANDOM UNITE! 😂😂

I mean, given that star ratings mean nothing - companies buy them - and Amazon is known for tracking popular items so they can make a knockoff... yeah, kinda weird.

Same with most crafter supplies tbh. So many people say they're the best they've used and compare them to top brands they've likely never even tried, often repeating what reviewers have said so that people click their affiliate links. For anyone who's used actual artist grade products, the crafter stuff is complete trash by comparison. There are the occasional student grade gems but they're still nowhere near the same quality objectively.

Crayola is amazing for my student budget, though there are better felttip pens or pencils for sure. I tried arteza pencils, they are better as "kinda artist" pencils. I simply cant affort to try prismacolor or alike pencils

@@Kessik8 it's worth remembering that what you can afford is no reflection on you or your talent, and that a good artist can make the best of most supplies. I've seen incredible art created with some of the most trash supplies imaginable. You shouldn't ever feel like you need the professional grade stuff to enjoy creating or that you'll never be good enough if you don't spend a lot of money. A lot of people get it all tangled up in their minds and it stops them from enjoying their hobby and that's a shame. Professional supplies will always be better than crafter supplies, that's just the way it is, but that's all that it is, too.

I use Derwent academy they're actually pretty good, considering their price,@@mydogeatspuke

@@Goontender if that's where your budget takes you and you're enjoying using them then that's all that matters. But they definitely won't compare to Procolour or Lightfast from the same line. Something being good enough for the price doesn't mean they're objectively good.

I wish they’d sell bathroom breaks but Amazon doesn’t have those.
