Pete I feel COMPELLED to share something with you and your audience…
For unknown reasons-every SINGLE time, and in every SINGLE video of yours where I hear you say the words, “semi-opaque…” to describe anything that is, (duh) -semi-opaque…my brain immediately goes into echolalia mode leaving me mentally parroting THESE words, (with associated musical accompaniment)… 🎶🎸🎤 “semi-opaque kinda life…” (as if it’s 1998 and Third Eye Blind has chosen to dedicate their songwriting endeavors simply to their love for opacity in watercolor🤷🏻♀️ …
Now we ALL get to live with this information🤗
Thank you for the video! Have a great night👋🏻😂✨
😂 They know what's going on.
This comment was a JOURNEY and I loved it, also I learned that thing I do is called echolalia so it's just been a great time all around ❤
🤣 I once worked as a facilitator with mentally handicapped adults. (Rough, challenging and sometimes dangerous job). Once of my clients had many mental issues, seizures, etc. And one of his speech quirks was severe echolalia. At first it was off putting and I just had to adapt. But as I got used to it and I got to where I could predict when he was going to size, get mad, or have an episode. Poor guy, family never cared to visit him.
Waking up to find a new Pete video to watch while having my morning coffee is a great way to start my day! Thanks for taking the time to give us no nonsense reviews!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this. 🙂
You are the creator of amazing art. Thanks for brightening my Mondays. 😃
And thank you for brightening mine. 🙂
I very much enjoyed this swatching and all the comparasins to the last set! But the best thing this time was your workbook painting! I loved all the bright new colors and how well they went with the darker colors blending into a whole that was pleasing to behold! Thanks!
Thank you Anna! I'm glad you enjoyed this. I liked this painting too. 🙂
yes I love the black tin too!
👍🏻
Thanks for your honest opinion
Thank you! I appreciate you. 🙂
You’re the realest and it’s the best ❤
Thank you! I appreciate you. 🙂
You are amazing! Thank you for being you.
Thank you! I appreciate you. 🙂
Wonderful as usual, Pete. Love the painting…”Lady Mantes ”. Ready to DEVOUR😮😂
Thanks Denise! She sure looks hungry. 😂
30:40 fun fact. Berlin Blue = Prussian Blue. Berlin was the capital of Prussia when the color was (accidentally) discovered by Johann Diesbach in 1706. Mr Diesbach was a cat lorist, trying to make a red colour. One of his ingredients was contaminated...and turned blue instead. 😮 I know this nerdy stuff because I happen to live in Berlin now 🇩🇪 and this Blue is one of my favourite colours. Pete, your honesty is so refreshing. Thanks for calliing the brand out on their literature: they want our $ but can't bother to communicate basic info about their materials? What else is important and they are not communicating it in a way I understand? Very sketchy (pun not intended!). Thanks again!!
Thanks for the info! I appreciate you. 🙂
I have the original set of 24 in the straight up pink tin, which I ignore because you know, I’m a girl 🤭 But I love the paints. When I hit pan then I’ll replace them. To be honest, I never use the palette trays included with tins, and it all gets in my woks space. I prefer to use a ceramic palette. So I remove the paint holder and set the tin aside.
That's a good idea. I like using ceramic palettes too. 👍🏻
@@IllustrationsByPete Thanks, I just find the paints move around better on ceramic than tin/
I was on the fence about buying these vs the Rosa...I'm buying the Rosa. I hate that pink color too. I watched other videos that swore that the only way to do watercolor is using single pigments...I never understood why or they sound like they are sponsored videos because they only recommend super expensive paint. IThanks for being honest! I really like the painting in this video too.
When you're doing your paintings do you just paint what feels right in the moment or do you have somewhat of an idea beforehand. I'm still learning.
Sometimes I use a reference photo to take inspiration from and sometimes I paint with a certain composition in mind without having an idea of what to paint. I always just develop areas as I go that seem interesting at the moment. BTW the Rosa's are a great option. 🙂
Thanks for your review! I have the Pink set but haven't tried it yet. FYI....The color name is on the wrapper. Problem is it is super tiny! But it's on the front of the label right above the Color # at the bottom.
Label says Cadmium Red Light :)
I have to take a second look. Thanks! 👍🏻
My favorite thing about the swatch cards I stole from you is that each time I fill one out I feel like I'm creating a Magic card 😁
That is a great idea! 😂 Create a little creature on each card to show the different shades.
@@IllustrationsByPete I love this idea so much
I like Paul Rubens a lot as a company. I think they put a lot of care into their products and I find it quite exciting to see a Chinese company that produces great artists materials that are affordable to people living in countries where perhaps western materials are out of reach. I look forward to see what else they come up with and how their products evolve. They really should be grateful for helpful reviews such as yours. I also think some stuff is def down to personal preference. I enjoy Rosa and PR both. They behave totally differently and I find that fascinating and thrilling. Every paint has its own personality. Right now I am loving Blockx! Would be aaaamaaazing if PR offered both paint and oil pastels open stock. I think the lack of open stock is the biggest negative for me when it comes to their products. But I largely really like them.
The most important thing is they are trying to improve. That speaks volumes about who they are. I look forward to using more of their products in the future. I agree, open stock would be the best thing they could do right now. 👍🏻
On the fence on this. At this point I'm looking for unique colors or effects. I've already got tons of Rosa sets and a full Holbein set of like 80 or something. If they added more granulated colors I'd junp on it.
I agree. These won't add anything special to your current paints. I was just showing these more for people who are looking to get their first set of paint and honestly the Rosa's are a better choice anyway. 👍🏻
Oh, and their sparkle cotton watercolor paper, which they have a hot press and a cold press, is really nice. I have the cold press and use it to paint bookmarks, holiday paintings and the effect is subtle and pretty.
I have some of the hot press but I've never used it. It was a gift. I'll have to try it out. 🙂
@@IllustrationsByPete I’m not really into hot press paper, but I think PRs would work nicely for-r some mediums.
I'm more of a rough press paper person but I do enjoy hot press for water soluble pencils like Derwent inktense and graphitint. 👍🏻
@@IllustrationsByPete oh yes, excellent for that. I even found Bristol works nicely for Inktense.
I like your stand on mixed pigments. Perhaps we're not adventurous enough to mix the colors ourselves instead of using pre-mixed ones 🤔
As long as you use it to make awesome art it shouldn't matter if the colour is pre-mixed or not. Your entity reminds me of a praying mantis in psychedelic "camouflage" 😊
Thank you for another honest review 🥰
ETA: I didn't see the other praying mantis comment before sending mine, you have my word 😟
I agree. Just make awesome art. 👍🏻
By the end that is the same thing that I saw. 😂 Some of the real ones look this crazy.
Are there any watercolor tube sets you prefer? I'm not sure I want to pick out a bunch of single tubes
I'm a "specific color" type of person. I usually get a sample card if I can and then pick my colors from there. I'm never really happy with the sets companies put together. But I would look at the smaller Daniel Smith sets, they have a ton, and then add a color or 3 to them. I also enjoyed the earth tones 6 color set from QoR but there's only enough paint in those small sets for a full pan of each color. I'm bad at this advice. 😂
@@IllustrationsByPete lol I wouldn't say you're bad at it since that's what I was leaning towards, picking a DS set and adding to it
🙂👍🏻
They're sending it to a lot of RUclipsr creators, in tin, that are doing it also. They must be trying to push the product.
I'm sure they are. I think they are brand new. 👍🏻
2:54 Try spray painting rather than scraping the 🤢 pink tin. Acrylic spray paint (I use Edding permanent spray), primer spray or even car spray paint work great for this. Thanks again for this review. I am off to watch more of your videos today.
I will definitely change this color. 👍🏻
What did that Green ever did to you Pete!? 😆😂
More than any therapist has been able to fix. 😂
@@IllustrationsByPete 😄.
BTW, forgot to mention it, but the drawing gives me serious vibes of a praying mantis... should of used more green 😉🤪
By the end I saw the same thing, but an orchid mantis. Those aren't green. 😂
@@IllustrationsByPete Good point! 😄
Omg I HATE Phtalo Green too!!! 😅
I always thought I was alone in this opinion- so THANK YOU for confirming that I wasnt 🫶
😂 you are never alone.
I don’t think RUclipsrs should feel obligated to give a nice review or abide by rules stipulated by the manufacturer in order to receive reviewable material. I have some past experience writing music reviews for a magazine and I could not imagine being expected to only say nice things ( that would be an advertorial, not a review!) OR even expected to *have* to review something that is sent in, if I the writers weren’t interested. RUclipsrs are publishers, in essence - you should be treated as such.
I get what you're saying but I also understand why a company would require at least a product demo if they are going to send out a free product. What they asked for wasn't too demanding and they know before they send me something that I always speak freely about my experiences, so I wasn't bothered by it.
@@IllustrationsByPete yeah, that’s true re the review in your case - that’s slightly different to what happens to music reviewers. they checked first and aren’t sending unsolicited products, so that’s fair. But the expectations of positive reviews rub me the wrong way. If companies want one, fine. But then they need to pay you for it (not with product, and at an industry rate that reflects your publisher status) and it needs to be clearly marked as advertising/promotion. I always get a bit irked at people dismissing RUclipsrs and influencers for being given products or even getting paid to promote them (unless they don’t explain that it’s a paid advertising partnership), because in essence they ARE publishers, and I can tell you that many of them have a readership FAR larger than many famous magazines, so why should they devalue their work? I find advertising content boring but I don’t begrudge them for doing it. But a review is different, in publishing. That should be a gamble for the company seeking review. As a publisher, you are not being paid to review. The product is not a payment, it’s a review submission.
I get it. 👍🏻
Sorry to see most of your videos are reviews. Miss the ‘how to art’ videos.
Hi Roger. I have done more reviews recently but most of them, like the QoR paints and Meeden paper are my journey to find what I enjoy using. I'll have plenty more "how to" vids coming. Thanks for the feedback. 👍🏻
