As a Dutchie, I audibly squeaked when you pulled out the Old Holland! The reason the paint is made in such small batches is because they still use the old processing methods from the Golden age of the Dutch masters, so you'd be painting with a very pure recipe like what Rembrandt and Vermeer would have used. They also have oil paints! If anyone ever comes across it, I highly recommend the Golden Barok Red watercolor from Old Holland. It's the most gorgeous single-pigment, characteristic rust colour that's just absolutely magical on paper!

I paint with Chinese and Japanese brushes. You’re supposed to bloom the tip slightly with water to remove the adhesive that holds the hair together. Ideally, you would have more than one brush. A newer brush is used to create fine lines because most of the adhesive is still in the hairs. Older brushes with less adhesive are used for washes and larger surfaces.

I will never get over the discontinuation of dandelion. That is still the best yellow color. I am waiting for them to bring it back. We're all waiting for them to bring it back...

Seeing the pollution paint made me happy, like that's people from from my state cleaning up and turning filth into art supplies.

I have to say that Thistle was one of my all time favourite crayola colours. It had an elegance and beauty that stood apart from all the rest. So sad it got kicked to the curb. ☹️

You'll need to wash the brush before you can get more movement out of it. It's not actually meant to be stiff when in use, that's the glue used to help form it. 😊

Been watching for a couple years now and am I the only one who's felt like Rae now does alot of repeat stuff? This isn't meant as criticism and I'm sorry if it comes across this way but the past four thumbnails and titles and video concepts have all been INCREDIBLY similar. And in comparison to a year ago where there was alot more variety (stuff like art hacks, product reviews, art challenges, and experimenting with different styles). It's a shame cause I used to love the videos but now I feel like I've already seen it cause of how similar it was to the previous one. Again I love you Rae and adore the channel it's just an observation. Like i would adore just a simple voice over video of Raes painting/drawing process and just a draw with me. Id adore it.

Random art variety idea after seeing the comment about videos being a bit too similar, maybe an outdoor art video? Just to really shake up the scenery, lighting, and art topic? And if I remember you live around the US southwest which can be so fun to do art in if you still live there!

Aww, I loved thistle as a kid. And we didn't have the fun colour names anyway; thistle was packaged along with red-violet and violet-red

4:25 the crayola looks better than artist grade

What an interesting watch! Would love to see you doing traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting techniques! And I don't know if you plan to hoard this as an heirloom (totally valid) or not, but if you make more stuff with these supplies, would love to see them. Would also love to see an update video (if you do plan to use them and not preserve them) to see if your opinion or how you use them changes with experience.

Do you have a way that you display all these fancy and rare art supplies you collect? You've got a mini museum at this point!

I have a feeling you and me both watched the same video on youtube where several of these rare art supply makers were presented 😌 I dreamt about that brush, and you managed to fulfill that dream 🥳🥳 so cool

I haven't done watercolor in years and when you swatched that old Holland color I audibly went 'oooh'

😅dunno if it's the camera or just me but the crayola water colour looked better than the mid grade

Welcome back! Happy to see your content in 2024!

I loved the items on this list and how you explained how each product is special. Thank you. Sending love ❤😊

0:34 😂I love how only JUST ppl are being sponsored to talk about this game but I was playing it over a year ago when I randomly came across it on Google play

Such a wonderful idea to take away toxic waste from the environment and make paint from it!! Also, I love your drawing ❤ and your nail color 👌

There's another similar thing that Gamblin does, and you'll want to check into it if you are so inclined, and it definitely fits the standards for rarity. Their paintmaking shop has Torit air filtration systems to keep stray pigment out of the air, and once each year take the collected pigment from the filters and make one single run of a gray oil paint made from that collected pigment. They call it Torrit (with two r's) Grey and since the mix of pigments will never be quite the same from year to year, no two tubes of Torrit Grey from subsequent years will ever be quite the same. So it's seasonal (which is on-brand for us in the Paciic Northwest), limited supply, and unique. They have had local store promotions where your retailer would give out a single tube for free if you knew how to ask and then each year they'd have a contest where people would do monochrome paintings off this year's batch.. I don't know if they do those anymore but they still offer Torrit Grey each year because that's how Gamblin rolls, and you should really check this out if you haven't yet.

just came back after years of forgetting about this channel and i’m so glad to see the views are still good and you haven’t fell off! you are the reason i keep drawing

Oh my goodness! I absolutely love your drawing at the end! It was so so beautiful. I love black and white ink drawings like that. Gorgeous!

I feel like Cornflower Blue from Crayola should have gotten the boot instead, but I think it's still a color today. I remember as a kid, not only was it not very colorful, but it never worked very well either.

I need a part 2 of you doing more colorful art with all of the supplies!

Ahhh I would die to get my hands on the old Holland watercolors. They look sooo nice!

Hope the move goes well and you get settled in nicely! Love your videos!!! And you so much ❤

There was nothing simple about your drawing, it was amazing!

Besides the Crayola and Old Holland I have seen the videos of the three other art supplies you got (i love those kinds of videos) and amazed how well they perform! Happy to see you buying and trying them.

This was a fun video, I like that you included how they were made!

Beautiful! I love sumi-e so it's amazing to see someone use such a high quality brush! Good luck with your move!

Enjoyed this video for the education 👏 Would like to see some more artwork and you doing art in between the videos like this though as it's useful for ideas and learning. 😇

Loved the concept of this video so much! Was so great! 💗

Your explanation of the product! Truly amazing you can tell you have a passion! 💖

Hey rae, I just came here to say I love your art, your work, and your videos! I would love to see more of you more often! I'm not sure what your video posting schdule is but your videos help calm my anxiety and I've already rewatched most of them on your channel. Sincerely a girl who loves your art and your personality ❤

Good luck with the move i hated moving ❤

I love learning about art supplies from Business Insider videos too

Good luck on your trip, Rae❤

I was so excited to see a new video! I love all the content! Looking forward to more videos 🙂

Lady, you rock! I just found your channel recently as I'm getting back into art, and you have saved me so much money, I can't even tell you. I adore your fun videos and appreciate your honest opinion. Thank you for doing what you do!

I definitely remember the color Thistle. But, I always liked it because it was so much lighter than the other colors. It gave you a good mix. Some were light, and some were dark. I guess I was the only one who liked it.

Please post links for the art supplies. Thank you so much for posting. I love your content

That is so beautiful. I’ve watched some of the “making of” videos for these products and they’re sooo cool.

I'm always so happy when you give additional info about how these things get made!

I JUST watched that video about the brushes 🥰🥰🥰 i loved it!😊

Hi Rae, a few years ago, you really helped inspire and motivate me to get back into making art! You've had such a big impact on my life and I can only imagine how many people feel the same way! I notice other content creators are struggling to get views on their best (IMO) videos because KZfaq has changed so much with trying to copy Tick Tok. I understand if you also feel more and more forced into a corner with what you can do. But I really miss seeing your art, stories, and heart to heart conversations with viewers! Do you miss this, too? Have you ever seen Paola's videos over at the Cottage Fairy? Her work is very different from yours, but she shares in a way that helps tons of people feel peaceful and inspired. Her prints on Etsy sell out so fast and she maintains a steady enough flow of views to support herself. I'm sharing this to let you know you can still be successful by being your genuine self! People are really aching for this. Please take a step back and consider sharing your art really connecting again when you're ready. Until then, much love and prayers for your health and happiness! ❤

I love this kind of content so so much!😍😍

I watched all of these documentaries long ago, so seeing you talk about these is so cool. Also, the fact that those paints were shipped and made in Portland, OR (where Im from) is so ob brand 😂

Love that drawing! Such cool supplies shown too.

Those products look fascinating. Definitely adding a couple to my birthday list! 🤣 That ink stick looks gorgeous. Beautifully dense.

Great video and awesome supplies to keep and eye out for. The pollution turned paint is mind blowing

Your makeup looks amazing!

I'm 60 yrs old & I LOVED Thistle!!!! It was so beautiful to me. 😊😊😊

When you pulled out the ink stick and then the brush I can say that I'm envious of your commitment. Those items are so high quality I'm in awe every time I see them being used. The rest of the items are amazing as well but those two are top tier.

I am okay with waiting a few weeks for my favorite art youtuber to upload videos because of the amazing quality and the top-notch content

Great Video. That brush is amazing. Thanks for purchasing one so we could see it🤩

Old Holland watercolour paints are very easy to get a hold of there on Jacksons art. Is someone who really enjoys Watercolor there are far rare ones out there, but it’s not a brand. It’s a pigment that would be rare.

I have seen t hos einsider videos so I was SOOOO excited to see someone actually using them who is more relatable haha

YOUR NAILS IN THIS VIDEO ARE MY FAVORITE THING EVER

the fact that I watched all of the insider videos before this video so I was so hyped to see the products

Purely coincidence that we’re moving the same week! Hoping your move goes smoothly! ❤

I’ll admit I had some contempt for a brush that would cost so much, but when you mentioned it’s used for calligraphy I realized that brushes like that are probably used for important documents like when Japan’s imperial princes and princesses are born or with royal marriages. Using a super fancy brush like that makes sense.

Rae's makeup? on POINT Rae's art? chef's kiss no questions no buts just MWA 😍💋 Rae's ratings? VERY TRUE Rae's editing? LOVELYYYYYYYYY

I’ve been playing love and pies since for 2 months now😂, love ur videos btw ❤

Please post moreee💞💞 love ur vids so muchhh

Your eye shadow is always on point 😍

I missed Rae, I’m so glad she’s back

I do love watching her draw!!!!

i remember buying the lvl 4 Paint for 20$ on walmart..

This was really interesting and satisfying!

I audibly gasped when you pulled out that Sumi ink stick. The process for making those is INSANE. I have never seen one outside of a *documentary* before.

Thistle was one of my favorite Crayola crayons as a child. Enjoying the videos!

Cold fact: The Chinese also used the ink and the brushes(not as high quality it was a long time ago) it was used for writing fancy letters(shu fa ), currently, they still do shu fa but with a more modern ink.

✨purple mountains majesty✨

I watched every business insider videos so i knew every item and how it was made

Every time she does a watercolor paint test, I know she will not use proper watercolor paper. My heart hurts.

Love Your Videos Rae 💖

I love iron oxide paint. Old Holland watercolor looks pretty opaque. 🤔

rae I am like i am your biggest fan .I canot belive you make art out of anything and it turns out soo good while me well struggling to make art .

Nice! I hope you get to finally draw on your walls in your new home lol

Loved this video and your drawing!

Omg the Queen uploaded!!!

Please keep posting. I miss your videos

ive been watching rae for like 3 or 4 years

I have a good random tipfor people who use bottled paint: so if you can't squeeze the rest of the paint out put water in it and it becomes water color then once it runs out you can use the empty bottle for crafts if ur a crafter or recycle it yw😊❤ btw Rae you inspire me so much and it's amazing how ur art style rlly pops and Ty for making content I haven't been watching you for that long but now I've been binge watching ur videos now have a good day

I have that inkstone! My aunt brought it for me from China in the 1980, I had no idea it was so rare. The stamp is not there anymore since I have used it but the box it came in is soooo pretty and still as good as new

I don't know how you already got my vibe by just watching 2 of your videos but I like it, keep it up :3(also new subscriber..)

Baumgartner Restoration just featured Gamblin on his channel! Great behind the scenes!

It’s been forever omg Finally

Good luck with the move Ray! I moved in May 2023, its not even been a year and I am still incredibly salty about the whole ordeal. Hope it is a smooth transition for you xx

PURPLE MOUNTAINS' MAJESTY MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥

I accidentally got the watercolor version of the fourth item, and it is now my go to set for almost anything! The colors are so rich and vibrant, and there's such a range of tone and depth to them that you could easily paint almost anything. They feel a little heavier than other watercolors, but it feels like a benefit too.

Love the painting, very much my kinda thing ❣️

These art supplies are so cool and love your vids

OMG!! i havent watched your vdeos in so long. YOU LOOK SO GOODD

I love your videos and I saw a video saying there's less variety but I absolutely love it... It's like I love you for what you've posted and I continue to love you because these videos are right up my alley

you are stunning!! I can't you are just so beautiful!!

Love your channel rae!!! Love from India❤❤

The law of diminishing returns has to apply at some point. There has to be a point where putting more work into a product like a paint brush isn't going to make it better as much as more expensive.

That Iron Violet color is exactly a color I've been trying to find forever! I need to buy that paint set ASAP
