Art Supplies in the Hobbit Hole

That's a well-stocked studio, indeed! "Do inks go bad?" We asked the Utrecht Art Supplies team about shelf life of various materials, and they said that traditional inks (India Ink, dye-based colors) should be fine to use if they appear to have a normal consistency, or if settling has occurred, can be recombined by stirring. India-type ink with a shellac component can't be reconstituted if it has dried out. Acrylic dispersion paints, inks and mediums may not last as long in storage, if antimicrobial preservatives have lost potency, or if the product has been subject to freezing temperatures. Acrylics that have clotted are not suitable for use. If some mold colonies have formed, but the remaining product appears normal, the affected portion can usually be removed and the remainder used up immediately. Oil paints that have been tightly capped and have retained a normal, soft consistency with some unbound oil present are likely OK to use at any age.

Aww the little note is so sweet 🥰

As an artist this is a life goal of mine

THE NOTE IM CRYING 😢😢

this made me feel oddly validated bc although i wouldnt call myself an artist, i did study graphic design so i have pastels, paints, watercolors, multiple sketchbooks, and everything you might need for screenprinting and stamping lol
i just need to use what ive got!

You have my dream💀😯💀💀💀😮😮

What is that cabinet you have? I would love to get one for mine (I have LOTS of supplies)

Bro can make Leonardo da Vinci jealous

your in my rob list tonight

You are in my heaven right now

Man has a whole room dedicated to his art, I’d definitely want that when I get my own house when I’m older, and have a small library of my own as well, it’s really impressive how much stuff you have

I didn't know the paper boy was this stocked up

Lol ! I love your videos so much ! you remind me of my dad cause is study is kinda like yours, your videos always make me laugh and help me improve on art :) !

This is the hobbit hole of my dreams

Me being rich but having no dad 😢

I need you to be my grandpa so I can inherit all of that 😭😭

Damn as a teen artist I'm just hoping this is what I turn into as I age and not something I'd be unhappy with

Can I have some 🥺

Not sure why, but this video gives me a slap sense of joy watching all the endless supplies of paint supplies, while my supplies can fit in a basket, lol. This is super cool!

Now that MPox is coming, he’s stocked

I’ve got my water color paints! 😀
My gouache paints! 😀
My acryla-gouache paints! 😀
My acrylics………. 😑😒☹️

The way I said 'awe' at the end

U should get label for all those drawers 😂

I’m only 24 and have amassed hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars in art supplies, thanks to friends, family, and even old art teachers gifting them to me/passing them down to me and my own personal funds. You can imagine the level of panic and chaos that ensued when my father started throwing them all away when he was helping me move. Thank goodness I saved them in time! I’m looking forward to having just as well-stocked artistic materials as you some day!

Bro is flexing

Bro predicted something

Sir I know I am a terrible artist...
But can't you just invite me for an art date in this beautiful Hobbit hall
Pls.............pretty pls.........

The paper probably last for a few pandemic 😅

UR LIVING MY DREAM

Bros inventory was full so he had to put stuff in the chests

bro could be the art store if he wanted to lol, he even has the display case 😂

I can't imagine you angry

you should label the drawers with fancy writing and label things

Your videos are so calming. Whenever i start to beat myself up for having too many unfinished sketchbooks, or not using every single one of my art supplies all the time- i just go to your channel and watch your videos. The vibes are wonderful, the art is amazing, and you taught me that it's okay. That it's just fine to have things. Thank you so much.

Just an FYI for anyone coming across this: watercolor paper is not good indefinitely since the sizing decays over time (exacerbated by heat and humidity). That paper can still be used for pretty much any other art medium (I'd avoid alcohol markers since the paper's so absorbent and you'll probably end up wasting a lot of ink), but you'll get splotchy results with watercolor.

As an artist this brings me much joy and peace

Inks do go bad... In that a bunch of mine dried up and became completely unable to open after around 4 years of not using them. In my defense... I was living in a different continent to them 😅

You’d make a great art teacher

Thats such a dream! What do the kids say these days? Goals?

Man called me poor in 8274782638293763947284738 ways😅

Thank you, now i dont feel bad for having a pen set from middle school. 😅

I cleaned out ebay of all the lead that some company discontinued so im good till they bury me.

I really need a cabinet like that to store my own supplies hoard in. 😂

I so relate! love your storage drawers too. I've got enough art supplies to last me 20 years.

I've never seen someone flex so politely!

This guy is the perfect blend of humorous and informative

the note was so wholesome!!! ❤

😊
