 Hello, and welcome back to the average. I'm Steph. I'm the average artist in case you guys don't know who I am today We're testing out some stuff that I bought for videos, but could never really be bothered to get around To using before we begin if you guys remember this Maybe if you don't this is my horror comic that I made a few years ago And now it's up for digital sale on gumroad pay what you want So if you want to check it out links down below Anyway, here's those are stuff that I bought for videos over the years And I've just never gotten round to kind of using in a video I thought we could go through them just for fun and see what they're about First of all, I got these pastel posca's It's probably like the least interesting thing here because everyone knows posca's and I how kind of use them already But I was like screw it. I don't care I don't know making a video about pastel posca's probably not that interesting Depended maybe on what I drew with them, but yeah, these these are pastel posca's Next thing I got in London in a like a museum I think it's really paint on it because I do use this for my tiktok because I thought it would be more fun to make short videos with this basically what it is it's like prompt cards and you pick a card and it tells you like Um Draw an object but hold your pencil in the opposite hand the one you normally use if you are left-handed This technique is great for practice want to practice doesn't encourage you to really look at objects and Kind of speak produce interesting results So actually this is kind of a nice prompt because I remember doing this before life during your stuff It just like loosens you up a bit. So maybe we'll try it today. Let's keep this one to the side But yeah, these are the art club cards. I kind of like them a lot They're fun. Some of them are not so fun. Some of them are like really that's a bit boring But yeah, they're pretty good another thing I got is this paint storage box which I bought from Amazon and I thought it would be good for making my own like mixtures of jelly paints And I could put my own like concoctions in there. So let's do that and then we'll go for the rest Which you can already see what they are, but we can test them out. Oh, I broke this box. That's annoying Okay. Well, it's all just ripped apart. So it's a cute little compartment package It's a little bit it's a cute little Watertight airtight Compartment what the flip how do I open this? But yeah, I thought it would be really cute for like travel If I go traveling I can take my little jelly sets with me, but I can also like customize it to be a nice Color which I'm gonna do now. Here we go. I'm gonna pick some nice colors got my little spatcha. It's dirty, but it's dry Let's go with a little bit of Fuchsia is this future? I really want to pack them in for this would also be good for when I make my homey paints By the way, this is a tool. I also bought for a video. It's like a little paint scraper thing and it's actually been really useful for different things like I Highly recommend getting one of these scrappy tools Because I thought like I've seen somebody doing art where they do like scrappy art with this But I can never I can get the hang of it, but it was fun to experiment with but I never made a video of it because Making a video of a scrappy tool is a bit weird. I Don't know. Yes. I know I double dip get over it. They're my paints. I like to double dip longer than expected But this is so cute. I think it will be a really nice travel case I didn't put a white in there because I thought maybe I'll take like a pot of white with me if I ever take this somewhere So because I use a lot of white I'm just gonna put the airtight thingy on It's and hope that it doesn't spill everywhere. I think I might have overfilled these slightly But yeah, that's what it looks like You can see where I've tried to mix colors And then it's like airtight. Well, how does this go? Let's go like this. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I think Neat little thing if you guys want to get this, I'll put it the link down below It's kind of Expensive for what it is, but I guess it's a neat little thing that you can take Somewhere if you want to use your jelly paints out and about. Oh, yeah Okay, next up we have this vivid color sheets revolutionary water color Um, I've seen a couple youtubers use this Doodle date have used this think a couple of times and then I saw it in an art shop in London when I was just browsing By the way, all this stuff has been bought over like a long period of time and then just sat on my shelf So that's why I have so much stuff. I'm not just hoarding stuff like well, I am hoarding stuff, but Okay, so this is really cute actually There's a little bug in it though. I'm not enjoying that Okay, they give you a little postcard thing. What's this? gift gift friend, what do you mean? What is this? Is it more colors? Oh, it's another postcard. What are you giving me to nice? Mini color sheets. Oh They give you a mini one. That's so cute. Oh My gosh, that's so cute little mini Mini watercolor sheet. So basically what it is if you've never seen these before is like a Little pamphlet of watercolors, but on sheets of paper that you can reactivate and then use and they're so Interesting to me. I've just always found these fascinating like how does this work? I just think it's really clever and I think these are so pretty And let's get to using them. Um, I just want to test them out really. We're not doing anything fancy Recently I've been trying to draw these gems. So I'm thinking maybe I'll do like a watercolor one and see how it works And my sheets, uh, let's see. This is this is weird. I've never used these. I just oh I think it looks much brighter than it does dry. Yeah, let's just Whoo That's a really pretty red. I love that. That's so cool. I wonder how much Like paint you get from these little sheets, but I'm sure it's like enough to last you a while Yes, I've been trying to like learn how to draw gems With traditional media is a little bit difficult. I kind of like these but I don't know why I'm trying to draw them I just had an urge To learn how to draw I'll use that pink How to draw these things look at that big nice metallic sky blue. Oh, they're metallics. Okay, interesting interesting But yeah, just a page of Gem studies, I guess let's do a couple more with the watercolor Yeah, I like these. This is so cool. Um, I Think they're really interesting and happy. I bought them. I want to use them again I'll probably use them like a tiktok video as well. All this stuff just seems maybe not Suited for a longer form video, but then again, I don't know. It could do something really cool of these I think this is really nice thing It's just sorry about the train I live next to a train now, but yeah, it's just really odd Don't understand how it works because I didn't know what colors could be reactivated. I'm not sure Anyway, yeah, pretty cool pretty cool. Let's move on to the next thing I also want to do like a special mention of this son of sonography, which you probably are Probably seen before and basically what you do is you put something on it And then you put it in the sun and then you clean it and then it's like imprinted into the The cloth and I want to try this but it's not very sunny today. So probably won't do this today Follow me on tiktok. Probably try it out on there Links down below if you want to check this out at some point At some point when I get round to it have a full-time job you guys Um Then I got this marbling kit I got this marbling kit probably about two years ago and it's just been sitting on my shelf and I've been like I Should try this out at some point Lord that's so loud It's a lot of instructions Please be careful we start the water has to have the hardest of a hundred or less no idea if my water has That kind of hardness if track water has high hardness use commercial. Oh That's a lot of like effort um You see why I've never done it Yeah, we get this where's my little Where's the thing to actually oh my god, so that's a fail I haven't actually given me like Something to put these into so I'm a bit confused Use a clean pan. I don't have one. You didn't give me one Maybe they did give me one. I've just taken it out years ago and just used it Okay, I have to find some sort of some sort of device to put this in I found this thing but as you can see there's a slight problem It's also a lot of cat hair on this which is so lovely and delicious Everyone involved Can't peel this off So we can't be using that but this would have been perfect right this would have been what I need I Very nicely found this little IKEA thing Which probably isn't as suitable as the last thing I had but I ruined that with paint apparently I've nicely cut out some little squares that I don't think I'm gonna fit in here now I'm gonna have to sort that out, but yeah, let's fill this bad boy up with water. It says to do one to two inches deep I've realized that maybe inches inches Okay, this is a real janky way of doing this I guess Get some There we go, whatever Is this gonna fit this annoying I Can't find my scissors don't question it Okay, so it says to gently Put a few drops into the water. We'll see if this works because if my water isn't oh god that was Okay, it's sinking which is not a good sign, but there is some Stuff on the top Which is a good sign so hurrah for me I'm gonna do like a pattern if I can I this is actually really fun if it turns out right if it doesn't oh That was cool, let's zoom in look at that action Let's do a little dot over here. It comes out like really quickly Except for now when I've said it that's quite I'm I'm having fun with this Let's do a yellow in the middle and then let's test it out because if it doesn't work Um, you'll be disappointing You didn't even like have to squeeze the bottle. Okay, that's the yellow not so much Yeah, that was not as good as the orange It says you can also like Do patterns? But I don't want to push it because that now that's gonna look really ugly for my beautiful paper Um Alright, let's try it. That is so fun. What the hell? Why haven't I tried this before? Look how cool that was High new obsession What the hell that was so cool that looks awful, but maybe when it's dry. All right, I'm gonna let this Dry, we'll do a couple more. I need to change a water. I think This is not good for a lazy person to have to do but you know Water in Let's do it bigger this time This is not actually Even though it looks like tap water. This is just a bottle. I'm reusing Because if I ever buy tap water, I always reuse the bottles, which is probably not very good for you again, I have to jankily cut this out, but I'm gonna try and do a couple of sheets with the paint and see God, I'm so sorry about this, but Kind of like it as well as kind of interesting Okay, let's do the orange. Was it the orange that was good. Yeah, let's do the orange first I'm gonna do a sort of pattern or attempt to do whether you do that thing where they're like one two three It's a one go I don't know if these are too close to get No, this one doesn't work as well. Let's try the yellow or the blue. Let's try the blue. It's also a black, but Okay, this what it works so well the first time come on man Okay, whatever We're going crazy I think the red is like the this red is like probably the best one that actually works Or does the thing it's supposed to do every every all the others are sinking to the bottom. Let's try the green This is the ugliest pattern you've ever seen, but Still kind of fun green No green sinks as well No, I think my water is too hard I don't know how you soften water if anyone knows I think it's something you have to have in a treatment plant or something But let's try the black. Oh the back works. Oh It did work It's just sinking it's so annoying, but this is kind of working. So let's just go for it Okay, really? This is my favorite part. This is so fun. I Dropped it badly So kind of smush the pattern Oh Look at that. That's so cool We'll have to look at it when it's dry Hopefully it doesn't look like the complete cat when it's dry. I'm gonna try and like No, it doesn't work because it has to like Absorb it somehow. No, it doesn't work. Okay. Well, I Don't know if you can reuse the water or you have to like change it every time Which is a little bit annoying I'm gonna try one more time because I've been addicted This time I'm gonna do it shallow Even though it says one to two inches of water if I do it shallow, then it the stuff can't sink to the bottom This red we've discovered is the best one. Yeah, see actually I don't know if you could see that but it's actually floating on the surface rather than just sinking to the bottom The blue kind of work then it just sinks. It's so irritating It's like a Rorschach test. What do you see? Let's try the yellow again. Maybe the yellow won't let me down for a million of time Oh, the yellow is kind of floating. That's pretty. I think I'm gonna try this with clean Water as in what am I saying clean this water is clean With a shop bought water maybe and see how that works This time I'm gonna do like strips We'll do two strips Yeah, yeah, okay gently place them. I love it You guys like, uh-huh. Yeah stuff move on from this, please It's so interesting to me like the shapes. I Don't know what to use this for but I love it I'm gonna dry these with a hair dryer so we can get quick results And then I'll come back to you guys and show you what they look like dry Um, okay, what that's so cool. I mean sort of let me know what you guys think I think that's really interesting. I really want to do this again. I'll probably get like the proper water and then Hopefully the stuff would all sink but look this is still pretty like this one. I don't know what to do with them Could make some cool paper art and stuff with this Yeah, it's really interesting So I think that's everything We haven't done the card but can't really be bothered to be honest with you so forget it Now that I've remembered that I've forgotten it, but yeah, this is everything that kind of just didn't make a video out of Let me know what you think and Yeah, I'll link most of the stuff down below if you want to try out for yourself and this kit is Pretty cool. I'm not sure. I mean I think it's pretty unfair that they don't give you like a Tub to try it out. I mean they could have made this like the tub or whatever And yeah, I love my little jelly kit Super cool papers everything really nice glad I bought the stuff. Let me know what you think Yeah, I'll see you next time. This was really nonchalant ending I'll probably try out more stuff on tiktok just use quick videos. So if you want to check that out check it out down below Don't want to talk about that. But yeah, that's stupid Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time. Bye
