this video would be improved with better lighting/camera but the video is also ten years old so i give it a pass.

Nice !

This paint looks really nice. The problem I have with acrylics I've tried so far is when they dry, they lose all the texture and flatten out. Do these hold the peaks and texture of the brush strokes?

I like his style. I have his books. He does mix his colors on the paper and let them bleed together.

Do you know if it is possible to get the old steel enameled palettes? I hate the aluminum ones - I’d fly myself over to Japan if they still sell them there

Can you guys bring back the old steel palettes, the aluminum ones are very very terrible

Oh!!! Thank you!!! I was looking into this and it was very helpful.

Thank you for sharing all of these with us!

The lady said it makes a smooth surface on top of an already primed surface. I thought this stuff IS the primer??? Confused

I need this 😳😳😳

Thank you Bob - you’re the best ... all the way from New Zealand.

if you’re a beginner you might want to slow down the video a LOT.. trust me. pausing and playing over and over again gets so annoying and makes you feel like you can’t keep up with something so “simple”

gomboge nova , what a name

Does it dry glossy like regular acrylic or matte like acryla -gouache?

boring

Your work looks terrible.

I just cannot bring myself to use my expensive sables by scrubbing or pushing against the fiber of the hair & tip like that. it wears them down so fast and your nice point will be destroyed. My advise is to use an old damaged brush or cheaper synthetic brush for that. Plus, its totally doable to achieve the same result by using your good sable brush by pulling the water in the direction you want it to go with the brush. No need to push against it.

That's put me right off!! what a HOT MESS!

I have heard that Holbein Opera watercolor is highly Fugitive, along with other colors in the line of paints. How come you have not found out this one fact about this paint line? Go to Wetcanvas.com, and see! There is an artist that is performing his own permanence tests on various brands of watercolors, but has alerted many about Holbein's "OPERA" in particular, that it fades fast and turns a brown shade in a very short time with exposure to the sun or bright light. In this video, I see nothing resembling the color in great amounts, just a tiny speck of red on the house. Not much to fade wouldn't you say? I will be doing my own tests on various watercolors on my Fredrix WC canvas, to see if my professional paints will glow as you say the Holbein juicey colors do. I did an experiment almost two years ago for Fredrix to see if the Watercolor canvas would hold Pastels. You see they stopped production of their Pastel Canvas some time ago, so I decided to give it a try, and do Soft Pastels using Alcohol for the washes I found a quart of Ethanol or Ethyl Alcohol on Amazon for $12.00! They turned out very interesting as I am a beginner, and anything goes!

All I see are the two colors painted in the same area waiting to be mixed. He did a poor job of showing what colors Holbein paints can create with a limited palette. Either a horrible teacher or a shameless ploy to get you to buy the colors to see for yourself.

(the colors are) cadmium red light - alizarin crimson - burnt umber - burnt siena - gamboge nova - ultramarine deep - cerulean blue - marine blue

Its cool that he mixes them on the paper but i feel like i couldn't get an idea of what the colors would look like fully mixed

I'm so addicted to these amazing Acrylics!!!! seriously in love!

Are you guys going to talk about their oil paints? I really want to get into painting. I know acrylic is better to start out with, but I have always been drawn to oil painting because it's drying time is slower. And wet on wet, to me, is easier. But I only ask because I have only seen 2 videos of people talking about Holbein water soluble oil paints, but they don't really show the paint in their videos. It's just them talking about it and how smooth it is and that they thought it was better than Winsor & Newton. But yeah, I don't know much about painting other than color theory, I do spray paint art. But I really want to be able to sit down and slow down a bit. Well hope to hear from you soon.
