Thanks for the review Jason! It is a lot of fun to play and compare colors, brands, textures and mixture compatibilities. Not all of us have the time or supplies to do so thus, your reviews are invaluable!
These colours remind me of a Fall in Tennessee, in 1998 I moved to Tennessee in the Fall, so beautiful! Tennessee Falls are gorgeous. Nice demo, I so enjoy, if you do a painting with these let me know, and I thought of a big brown bear as well. Or a baby 🐻! LOL
Can you mention which brand the other one is? It's very helpful. I'm about out of my trans ox red, and trying to narrow down which ones to have on my list to try, and which ones not to.
@@walcottfineart5088 thanks!! Funny, that's exactly how I felt about their trans ox yellow! Do you happen to have the Rembrandt trans ox red? If so, I'd love to know your thoughts about how it differs from whatever other brands you have. I've noticed many artists who follow in the vein of Schmid swear by specifically using Rembrandt Trans ox red and ultramarine blue deep, so I've always been curious why that is. I have a good bit of Rembrandt, but apart from a couple colors I'm underwhelmed by it's pigment load and uniform texture. I have to say, I'm definitely intrigued to pick up Rublev's next time around.
@@katetopps4706 I did try the Rembrandt Trans. Oxide Red once after hearing all those great things too! I honestly wasn't that impressed. It seemed like it wasn't very strong and i had to use a lot of it to get good color saturation. I would much prefer the Gamblin or Rublev color. Thanks again for all your great questions! :)
can you tell us more about blue ridge oils? I remember a video where you touched on them. would love to know if they are performing for you still. I may switch over to blue ridge for a while and see how they do. would love your opinion
@@walcottfineart5088 I would love to see that video! I liked the vid where you mentioned them as a fine paint. Now I need a pro to break it down:) Happy new year. Thanks Jason...so many of us rely on you.
Interesting, Walcott. Would you say transparent colors are necessary on a palette? Are there any transparent colors you recommend besides the usual basic primals? Im really struggling with choosing a limited palette because I only travel to the US every 2~4 years, and in my country there's no Golden Acrylics (which are the ones I wanted), so I want to get all my choices right "Alla prima" haha. Thanks
Yes, transparent colors are essiential to achiving certain effects. For traditional style painting, like I work in you want to keep the darks/shadows thin and transparent (even though they're dark) and the light colors thick and opaque. The specific colors aren't important but I would have at least one warm dark and one cool dark. Like a transparent brown and Ultramarine. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, such great comparisons- love your help!! I can’t decide on a medium of Rublevs’ Italian Vanish or Gamblin’s Neomeglip- or what their differences are- could you help? Also, I am making the oil primer over gesso on a hardboard, like you recommended, to double check- it’s Williamsburg lead oil ground and to thin I am suppose to use Gamsol? And what brand Dammar varnish to mix in my 1/3,1/3,1/3? I’m making my shopping list from all your videos. Blessings this Easter!
Thanks for watching! Neomegilp is a synthetic alkyd based medium whereas the Rublev Italian Varnish is made from traditional materials. So it does contina real turpentine. Maimeri makes a good damar varnish that I like. Have fun! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 Thank you! Will put that on the list and avoid the Neomeglip- and Maimeri will be the varnish- thanks again so much! Love your painting style and lessons!
Thanks for watching! Some earth colors are naturally opaque like regular Yellow Ochrem and these transparent versions are newer modern types. It's a good idea for a video though so I will keep it in mind. Thanks for watching! :)
Yes, technically these earth colors are "hues" and this is the case with most manufacturers since many of the original deposits that produced the genuine ochres and iron oxides are almost depleted at this point. There's has been some debate about whether they should be labeled as "hues" or not since the chemical composition of the pigment is identical to the natural stuff, it's just made in a factory instead of the ground. I think Rublev wants to expand their line by offering the synthetic earth tones to help artists round out their palettes. Thanks for watching! :)
@@paintkoziej6812 The Rublev Transparent Iron Oxide Red is a beautiful color. It's very close to the Willimasburg and Harding, but maybe slightly higher in tinting strength and a bit more saturated. Thanks for watching!
While I absolutely love rublev products such as their wonderful oil mediums I do find that their oil paints are quite a bit overpriced compared to the value you get say buying larger tubes from some of the higher end brands like Michael Harding with the exact same colors

Thanks for the great comment Michelle! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :)
Once again, a terrific video!..love these comparisons.....thank you for sharing your life with us...
Best Wishes
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Fantastic video like always. Those color are delicious especially for portrait painting. I’m definitely interested on getting them ❤️
Thanks Ruben! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video :) Definitely try the Rublev, they are amazing paints.
Jason, do you still upload at all?
Nice demo Jason. I really like the Rublev transparent oxide red.
Yes, it's a great color! Thanks for watching :)

It's been awhile since I made this video but I think it was Gamblin, although I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for watching! :)

I believe that rich transparent iron oxide will make some nice flesh tones.
That it does! Thanks for watching :)
I wish you would make more videos. I like your content 😊

Great idea! I can do a review video on Blue Ridge. I don't use them as much as I used to but they are good paints. Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 I would love to see that video! I liked the vid where you mentioned them as a fine paint. Now I need a pro to break it down:) Happy new year. Thanks Jason...so many of us rely on you.
Hi, please do a video on Daniel Smith oil paints...there are no YT reviews on this.
Great idea and thanks for watching! :)
Love these videos. These colors look beautiful. I love earth colors and would love to try these.
Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Thanks very informative
Thanks for watching! :)
Beautiful colors.
Thanks for watching! :)
Jason, great video. Didn’t see the link to the manufacturer in the description.
I totally spaced on that! LOL I will put it in now. Thanks for watching! www.naturalpigments.com/oil-painting/paints.html
I have never heard about this brand, colors are beautiful.
Rublev is one of my favorite brands! Hope you can try some :) Thanks for watching!

Hello. Meybe some tutorial how to mix no transpatent, opaque earth tones?
Thanks for watching! Some earth colors are naturally opaque like regular Yellow Ochrem and these transparent versions are newer modern types. It's a good idea for a video though so I will keep it in mind. Thanks for watching! :)
Which white did you mix with the new Rublev?
It was Winsor & Newton Flake White Hue, which is really a Titanium White. Thanks for watching!
Wait they are synthetic hues? I thought Rublev only did authentic natural colors? Or is that not the case?
Yes, technically these earth colors are "hues" and this is the case with most manufacturers since many of the original deposits that produced the genuine ochres and iron oxides are almost depleted at this point. There's has been some debate about whether they should be labeled as "hues" or not since the chemical composition of the pigment is identical to the natural stuff, it's just made in a factory instead of the ground.

@@walcottfineart5088 oh that's unfortunate that the natural supply is almost gone. Ty for the info
Rublev...and Old Holland and other really professional paints. One of these days. They're to good for me at this point.
Too good? Why you say that. Everyone deserves to use some really nice paint
I agree with Acacia! :) Give the Rublev earth colors a try and see how you like them. Thanks for watching!
Now I want them too! How do they compare to transparend oxide willamsburg colors? Or MH quancradome gold and oxid red
@@paintkoziej6812 The Rublev Transparent Iron Oxide Red is a beautiful color. It's very close to the Willimasburg and Harding, but maybe slightly higher in tinting strength and a bit more saturated. Thanks for watching!

Yes, they are expensive, but they make some colors you just can't get anywhere else. I love them too! Thanks for watching :)
