 hello everybody and welcome back to the average today I am super excited because I've been wanting to try out these paints for ages for ages look how cool they look they're like a little package of pudding um packet of yogurt I don't know it looks really cool and I really want to try these and they finally arrived so I'm super excited to unbox these and try them out so I got the primary set of abstract in a fit in a tube acrylic in a tube I can't say that right and yeah so they seem pretty cool they come in this box you can buy a different sets I just bought the primary set because I was the only one that would deliver to where I live there's like a pastel set and I have dreams of it but alas it was not meant to be let's get into this difficult I'll be right back oh I stopped recording but I didn't so you get a blue a red a yellow and a white and a black very handy very good oh my god it's so satisfying thumbnail Mochi's very interested in my thumbnail taking yeah look at these these look so cool um I can't wait I actually I'm very excited stop licking that paintbrush you weirdo stop it Mochi is so cute though yes I love you but you cushion me just smack me in the head basically I've just got a china plate because they are acrylic so they will dry like a plastic and I mean I can just peel them off afterwards hopefully if not good the rest of pieces please as well as the primary pack I also got these two extra colors which were quite expensive but they were like the only colors that would ship to me except for this primary pack so I thought I wanted to get them as well just to test them out I really like this blue so this is a turquoise and it has like the numbers there's 120 millilitres in all of them so let's open them up have a little screw cap and away we go pesto pesto why are you like this these cats are like you're talking to me I think okay I'm not gonna put I put too much there but the excitement of actually getting to open these things was too much for me I could also see like you know that sorry my excuse me the jelly gouache if they created like refill packs like this would it be good or I don't know but that might be quite like an interesting thing for people who create them like our text to consider because then you could just instead of having to throw away that big pot if you run out so you could just reuse it refill it but I guess the problem is that these are still plastic bags so it's not that great they don't smell great and I wonder if after a while trying to open these lids up again is gonna be a nightmare because of the paint like drying I don't know if maybe I have to like wipe the top of this but I'm you know me guys I'm too that's not really my deal I'm not a very clean artist as some of you may know but I'm very messy when it comes to my art supplies I'm just I don't know lazy no not lazy lazy's nothing abstract I'm liking these though so far and let's have a little bit of black because I don't really like to use black too much but I guess you do use it sometimes I'm not really sure what I'm gonna paint but we're gonna go with it anyway I'm gonna use this sketchbook that Artic sent me because it is a multimedia sketch pad and it handled the gouache paint that they sent me quite nicely so I think I'm gonna be using that oh my god I thought I touched that man and I was gonna have an idea yeah and I really liked painting horizontally like this one I painted and I think I'm gonna do that now hey so I'm just gonna arrange this quite nicely for you guys so you can see what I'm doing very thoughtful on time these are so I can't go over this I think these are so cool probably loads of people have already tried this and have access to like art stores that have everything but I don't so when I order stuff online or see new stuff I get really excited cuz I've never tried it so for me it's like and I love love my new paint pop six euros guys for this mask I'm gonna watch me spill this everywhere for goodness sakes what may even show it you for right leave it there I have to tell myself off sometimes I felt like today would be a cool time to bring back some nice motel painting like I used to do when I wanted to make a motel comic which never happened unfortunately it kind of evolved into the new comics I have but I like the idea of revisiting it somehow I have to state as well that this is acrylic which is something that I don't like as much as working with as I do with gouache but I really like the look of these paints so I wanted to try it out I was like I don't care if it's acrylic I want to try it they look cool so here we are this this is so I'm starting to think these new brushes that I bought are a little bit crap because every time I use them they're just flake everywhere and I thought I think I thought they were like a different brand to what they were no they're Della Rowney do you mind mochi the Della Rowney so I don't know why and this one is like one of my favorites so maybe it's just like the level maybe it's like a student level or something I'm not sure do you get student levels of brushes hate when bits of paint brush come off like off and just stick to your artworks like mochi calm it down please for goodness sakes go on go back to it no no no no we're not having it goodbye no much a so far I'm liking this paint I think it's handling quite nicely it's kind of easy to use blending well mochi stop licking that for goodness she keeps licking this brush mochi don't bite that got like a postcard like an art print up here and she just started chewing it because I said can you get away from my water she's like you will pay for this now I will chew your art print new the textures that are looking a little bit like I don't know how to explain it other than juvenile like they kind of look like something when you first start painting and you just you don't really block out the colors so well you just I don't know if that makes sense that's what it's kind of looking like to me so let's see if I can fix it but that's entirely on me though of course not paints I do prefer like because I tried acrylic the other day acrylic I tried oils the other day and I don't know if you've seen that video but I struggled with them like they're hard to use because I'm not used to how you use them everyone was telling me in the comments that you have to layer down like thin layers and work slowly and I just don't I don't work that way so I think me and the oils are done when everyone was telling me I was like mmm that doesn't sound like something I do you know I'm gonna have to try it again because you've got to give it another go but still at the same time I'm like mmm it doesn't really sound like my cup of tea I like to work quite quickly and so acrylics are kind of ideal for that really but then also I I prefer the way that wash kind of layers but I do there is something about these acrylics are quite nice to kind of giving me a similar vibe to wash which is nice because when I tried the massive jelly paint ones I don't know if you've seen that video but I've got like a massive box of jelly paints which I used which are acrylic jelly paints not gouache as many people tell me even though like I think you mean jelly gouache even though I think like anyway the point is I had a lot of that and I really didn't like using it so I've been trying to use it as much as possible when I need to like for the wall painting and things like that and I didn't really like using them but these ones they feel a lot nicer I don't know how to describe it they kind of being able to like manipulate them a bit more than I was with those other ones with the jelly the big massive pots of it but yeah like lately I have been feeling uninspired but inspired it's really weird I've been like having days where I'm like yes I'm good I'm ready I'm gonna do this today's have been just like what do I paint what do I do is it good like am I good enough like what's going on I can't do this today's of just like I love painting it's so weird I've never had that sort of mix I've always been either one or the other for like a while so it's kind of it's alright though it's okay I'm enjoying it and especially when you have new art supplies I don't know if you guys are the same as me but when you have something to try out I'm like I get excited all over again and that's probably the capitalist in me being like you like spending so I don't know if it's wrong or is right if it inspires me is it right I don't know and I'm enjoying them I'm trying to do like I don't know just have a bit of a childlike mentality when it comes to artwork a little bit as well like just kind of remembering how you felt when you were a kid and it was all fun and when you did stuff it was like hey look what I've done mom and dad look how amazing this is yeah your kids are genius and then you grow up and you're like oh right yeah okay oh oh no I'm bad at this so I miss that feeling you know when you're a kid and you're just having fun you didn't care you were like I'm good at this man that kid confidence right where did it go so when it comes to comics I like I said in yesterday's yesterday Saturday's video that I really want to do a long form or a longer form comic and I did actually find like the the book I was writing that I always really thought would be work quite well as a as a comic and I was reading it again and I was thinking yeah I can I can visualize this as a comic and I have to figure out what I'm gonna do how am I gonna lay it out and how many pages are gonna be and what the ending is because I still I don't know I don't know what the ending is but it should be fun because it will be the first long form comic I've done since I did a graphic novel that I did for my masters and I think yeah it's I think it's a different different beast isn't it doing a long form comic to doing something shorter I think shorter is difficult in the sense that you need to have a story and you need to convey it within a short space of time and you have to have people care about the characters or the story or whatever whereas long form you can kind of delve more into the character development and the world building and everything like that so it's for me it's like a totally different format medium because it is and so that's a bit intimidating for me I'm gonna be trying to do that I think yeah I'm really enjoying these paints I think they're really nice they're so much more easy to manipulate and push around the page and I originally thought like I've had like I said maybe I'm just more used to them maybe I'm just a little bit more used to acrylics again than I was when I first tried them out but I don't know there's something about them that's just I'm enjoying them a bit more so I think I've done I don't know I've had some fun I've been painting for like a few hours now I really liked these paints I think they're really cool and yeah totally why fit I think they're cheaper if you don't live you know a thousand million miles away from anything art supply related so these are really cool I really like them I like squishing them so we did two paintings with them this is the first one which I liked a lot and then this is the second one which I think is not super complete I feel like I need to work on more lighting not sure quite like them for practice pieces and yeah what do you guys think let me know down in the comments I'll also link these paints I got them off Amazon I will link them down below so let me know what you think if you get them anyway thanks watching and see you next time bye
