Sure! In America in the 1800s natives of all kinds were faced with a genocide called the trail of tears. They were forced to relocate from their native lands and forced into reservations. Many died in absolute terrible conditions. And through out the rest of the 1800s and even early 1900s they were forced to stop speaking their languages, Children were torn from their families.. etc. The native headdress is sacred and special to them, and it’s not in every native culture. To this day it’s estimated that 30% of native homes on reservations have either no water or electricity. they have incredibly high rates of unemployment, under reported crimes, there’s been many times through out the past century that their reservations were reduced, funding was cut and their land was sold or used for oil. It’s terrible, and it hurts to hear from my native friends how they feel they were and still get treated... My issue is these dudes who clearly were not in the minority to profit off of the most stereotyped image of a native, after all they had went through and continue to go through.. it’s absolutely a slap in the face. Even if it was 100 years ago, it doesn’t make it any less wrong. And even though I’m not native I can call out how wrong this is and use my platform for it. I want my native viewers to know, they matter, their culture matters and imagery like this was not not ok and never will be ok, and I will stand by them.
@@SuperRaedizzle thank you so so much for talking abt this, honestly. im native and have no idea about any of this because schools (or, at least, mine) never teach it. most we've gotten is a "haha, yeah, the colonists sorta kinda forced the natives out of their land but its nothing THAT serious" and i hate it.
@@SuperRaedizzle maybe its just me, but I don't exactly see a problem with the packaging. There seems to be nothing inherently offensive about the packaging, and from what I can tell by basic research, it is very possible that they used that imagery to pay homage to the Indians that once lived in the area of Manhattan their shop first stood in 1754.

I have some really cool stuff from the 80’s and I love to wear them. The woman who gave them to me saved them for over 20 years after her mother passed away. She gave them to me because she wanted them to be enjoyed and was very happy to see them get a new life.
As a native woman I still get sadly super excited when natives or indigenous people in general are mentioned anywhere. We’re generally ignored. I appreciate it.
Right?! I feel like if I was a Native American person and saw a Native American on a watercolor set I would be pretty stoked… I’m struggling to find a reason why this would upset anybody..
@@nyxs_time_alone Not so much radiation, i'm not sure of any pigments that used radioactive items, but just toxic in general. Cadmium and vermillion are the biggest ones that are now synthetically made as cadmium can cause cancers and severe toxicity even down to the bone level just being exposed by it being in the air. Vermillion was derived from powdered Cinnabar which is mercury sulfide and highly toxic to the point you don't want to even Touch it lol
Makes me wonder if one day someone in 2120 is gonna have my watercolour palette and be like "look guys, a palette from the 20s, whoever owned this thing back in the day uhh... it's well loved"
What’s crazy is that I look at these colors as see the fabrics from back then. Think about it, b/w then a muted color then vivid color. There are the saturation’s they lived in! This is amazing!!!
As an actual archaeologist I can say that using old paint causes me no pains at all. 😂 if anything this is a digital record and more useful then keeping it behind glass in a museum
A digital record!! I didn't even thought of that. Why are museums not making more digital records of the things they keep in store? So they broad audience would see it
I don’t think it is, they became aware of its toxicity by the late 19th century, certainly it wasn’t around the 1920s. However the paints could contain other toxic ingredients such as lead or whatnot
@@NoeHernandezPe767 or whatnot? Do you mean lead and arsenic? I'd still use a respirator. I can never take my chances. The ingredients they put in stuff today is still not always safe
Hi Rae, these are great vids! Nice to see somebody taking an interest in traditional paints and colour pigments. As far as I am aware, traditional watercolours were not highly pigmented in this is to do with the common practice of applying them. The painting was built-up in layers, one transparent layer on top of another until the desired depth of colour was achieved. A watercolour painting done in this way would take quite a bit of time to complete. The white paper was used to show lightness shining through the paint layers. Your water colour box of paints would probably follow this tradition. They probably don't contain much honey or clycerine in the formulation to make them soft. These days You get TV artists who want to get a painting done in half an hour. So they soak the paper with clean water, load-up their brush with soft watercolour and liberally slosh it around with a great deal of panache, and impress everybody with their skill and magic. And this has become the way that everybody wants to paint with watercolour. Modern paints cater to this new style with highly pigmented and moist formulations. Different paint, different times.
Good girl using gloves ! You are absolutely right about old art supplies containing toxic chemicals and pigments. Better safe than sorry . Thank you for setting a good example in case others decide to buy these vintage supplies themselves 🙂
omg hi! u inspired me to start painting and doing art! i’m only 13 and i’ve already got so many supplies based off of what u like! thank you for being you!
Okay so my art teacher told me that proper water colour is actually not supposed to be pigmented that much the 'watercolour' they sell now is more like poster colour which is quite pigmented.
I would not argue with that logic but then I see the work of Sargent, the blues he used, and I can't help but think that maybe it was just a different palette used/available? Not to mention ingredients used to make up the same product...I think I'm overthinking it?
they're supposed to be translucent but you get more with the product the more pigmented it is so... at least you get the choice to make it more or less intense.
Also in schools the only art history they teach is "Hulo pepols todae we iz panting XYZ maed bai XYZ iN yEer XYZ" like we don't give a f$#@ Old paintings be boring... The interesting painting are the Ancient ones... Before 1000 AD
I think you should have “soaked” the paints. Since it has been drying over a century. Like just sprayed it with water in a spray bottle and let it sit there for a minute. Could’ve helped

having bright colors at your disposal is better than only having muted ones, because you can always mix the bright ones to make them more dull. however, it's fun to watch something so old still getting used for its intended purpose! loving your videos, please keep making them :D
Yeah, no. The _native american_ image shouldn’t make anyone feel “mad”. People getting themselves all frothy pissed over history, without taking the time to understand that history - is the only issue here. The “American Indian” image was used because it is commonly regarded that the original William Post company, was America’s first paint company. So Devoe and Reynolds were trying to show that it was the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American paint* by using the imagery of the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American people.* You can titter amongst yourselves as to how appropriate or inappropriate you think that is, by modern standards...but that’s neither here nor there. It was intended to be in respect to the *”first people,”* never as something insulting or degrading... But sadly however, that’s all people are capable of feeling when looking at history now, it seems. 😒 In addition to the intended symbolism of the logo, Frederick Devoe actually had a deep respect for the native community and empathy for their plight. Having grown up with a physical disability (it’s unverified exactly WHAT the disability was- but we know it was significant in severity and left him with a lifelong, very uneven gait/limp.) he was always drawn to the *”underdog,”* or those that he felt were being ill treated- which is what sparked his affection for and eventually his later fight to protect the native populations/cultures from being eradicated, shortly before his death. Again, I’m sure this is viewed as something terribly exploitative today... but from his era, he was actually quite forward thinking. So no, I don’t think I will ever feel *”angry”* when I see that logo - and I would hope people take the time to research and study history, before simply throwing it away as *”horrible”* in the future.
Dude, this is SO COOL! Also I loved seeing you clean the pallet first! Not only for the safety measures but also for the satisfaction of seeing it clean. Awesome! 😁

Art history with Rae: Fun and exciting! My grade 12 art history: Put your favorite picture on this slide and write down the artist and the importance of the art.
That is really interesting! I wonder if the first two swatches might have been "not very pigmented" because of how the binder react with the pigment over time. Especially seeing as the yellow looked more sarurated in the end. And the black, might it be a grey, like paynes grey? Seeing as the idea of watercolour is supposed to not use black and white and there was indeed no white. Also, some watercolours nowadays, especially those on paper, are dye based and therefore different because there is no pigment. These tend to be the brightest and most vibrant colours and will never granulate (not all natural/pigment watercolours do either of course). And I really hope that smell of iron was from the tin itself or pans. Now I want a vintage set of watercolours to play with too! I mean research of course... Thanks for another interesting video! Best regards, Watercolour paint maker
I agree, it is definitely a matter of them being old, not just poorly pigmented, as for the black, even today most kids sets(which this one seems to be) have black and honestly I don't understand why people make such a big deal of it, I can understand were people come from with white, as in watercolor is not only almost useless (except for very niche occasions) , but sometimes when mixing it can be counter effective by making the colors to opaque and glassy, but as for black, it does not have much of a problem other then "not being expressive/joyful enough", at least that my opinion.
@@dez713 It's one of those things teachers over recommend because it forces people into learning to to mix colours. I've seen it with digital art to, early on people can go through a bit of a phase of just using black and white for their shadows and highlights. People end up pushing it like it's something you should never do though.
My partner and I have been on a 2 week road trip and I came across a video of yours transforming a coloring book page; I’ve been watching them this entire trip (while still having fun). You’re awesome. 💙
100 year old water colour palette: at least intact My new water colours: broken, shredded to pieces and I need a new one after 1 month My mom: 👁👄👁 i am not buying new ones for you
They remind me of Prang from when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. And I adore the color palette choices - I sympathize with modern watercolors being too intense and unnatural. Thanks for trying these out because I've been searching for a visual of a vintage watercolor color palette without just making yellow ochre/sepia tinted versions of modern colors. And your painting turned out gorgeous :)
I have found that more premium watercolors tend to have earthier, more muted tones mixed in. Cheap(er) sets though definitely just give you the brightest, most intense synthetic primary colors they could find, and leave it to you to mix them into something not eye searing.
It was so touching to watch you bring these much loved paints to life again, The portrait you made with them was simply haunting. Really all around beautiful episode. Thanks!
I know the whole native Americans on packaging is unacceptable now a days but back then it was normal... And it's a piece of history, and I'm surprised the paints even worked...I also wonder if modern paint pans would fit into it...
I loved the video! I also panicked when you found the mold. Make sure to wear a mask, old molds can sometimes cause severe infections when inhaled, specially old molds that may be near to extinct in our days. Love your content 💞
The pallete was really old, and very much used. it could have been thrown out long ago, have painted its last picture. but rae restored it and is giving it new life. its old, not rare.
As a native american it's not offensive and honestly a majority of my native american family was disappointed we are no longer on the land o lakes butter 🤘😔
@@jocelynecupcake random social justice warriors were cancelling brands and stuff it was before cancel culture had really gotten big and they didn't wanna risk being cancelled so they changed the logo to avoid political drama hulu did the same with an episode of golden girls because they had mud mask on in a episode about the spa and didn't wanna risk being associated for the resemblance of black face even tho it wasn't racist at all
@@natecuellar4561 Oh yeah I heard about the blackface thing. They really removed that episode of Golden girls?

I heard a lot about cancelling things for stupid reasons, but what's so offensive about a Native American lady on a butter that's called "Land O Lakes"? I think it's meant to show that the butter real and not made from all those artificial products (also I looked at the butter packaging they still have the Native American lady on it, but we haven't bought it in a while)
@@jocelynecupcake they don't have her on it anymore where I live in Texas and yes as ridiculous as it is they did remove the one episode I swear idk if it's still removed but it was there's videos and funny tik toks on it
@@natecuellar4561 Oh I live up here in Pennslyvania and they still have her on it, from the last I knew. And I expect people are going to make fun if they remove things for no reason. People need to stop removing things for ridiculous reasons but when there's a racial joke in Fairly odd parents no one says anything. Like they think stuff that isn't racist is racist but when something actually is racist they think it's fine....
Watercolor palettes haven't changed much over time. The metal container is so nostalgic for me, that was the standard in my childhood. The "mold" might be gum arabic or acacia risen to the surface during drying. Thank you for painting Clara Bow the 1920s "It Girl".
While mummy brown was still being produced in the 20th century, it was no longer common. There were not too many useable mummys left, and the pigment was very costly. It certainly would have not ended up in a paint box like this one.
That was such an inspiring video, Rae! Oh, and that greenish yellow you spoke of at the end - it looks pretty much like Irgazin yellow, a stunning color I love to use 💛

Me: LFMAO HAHAH
I love how Rae does all the research about the products and tells us about their history, it makes it so much more interesting.
And then she gets offended over the imagery on the tin, showing us that she did not do her research well at all...
The ebay seller had it listed as "slightly" used. Lmao
BAHAHAHA
BAHAHAHA

Rae is one of the only art RUclipsrs who keep my attention for longer than a minute.
Do u watch Moriah Elizabeth yet?
YEESSSSS ive been having the worst day and this just made everything so much better
I hope you have an amazing rest of day!😆💞
Yh and I hope ur day is better!🥰🥰
I hope you'll have a nice day.
I hope you have the best rest of the day :)
Haha hope you have a good rest of your day
It's just so satisfying when Rae cuts through the packaging.
Dang, I wish the trays were still metal like that rather than plastic. Metal has such a better look to it
You can get the metal trays! I have two sets😄
Ikr the noises i loovee and ye
Many watercolor trays are still metal, schmincke for example. I think Daniel smith and Winsor and Newton too
I think it would rust
yeah but depending on yr paint it won't stick and may even chip off. it's an issue I've been having at the least
Who else loves art history videos ?
Meee
having bright colors at your disposal is better than only having muted ones, because you can always mix the bright ones to make them more dull. however, it's fun to watch something so old still getting used for its intended purpose! loving your videos, please keep making them :D
Yeah, no.
The _native american_ image shouldn’t make anyone feel “mad”.
People getting themselves all frothy pissed over history, without taking the time to understand that history - is the only issue here.
The “American Indian” image was used because it is commonly regarded that the original William Post company, was America’s first paint company.
So Devoe and Reynolds were trying to show that it was the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American paint* by using the imagery of the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American people.*
You can titter amongst yourselves as to how appropriate or inappropriate you think that is, by modern standards...but that’s neither here nor there.
It was intended to be in respect to the *”first people,”* never as something insulting or degrading...
But sadly however, that’s all people are capable of feeling when looking at history now, it seems. 😒
In addition to the intended symbolism of the logo, Frederick Devoe actually had a deep respect for the native community and empathy for their plight.
Having grown up with a physical disability (it’s unverified exactly WHAT the disability was- but we know it was significant in severity and left him with a lifelong, very uneven gait/limp.) he was always drawn to the *”underdog,”* or those that he felt were being ill treated- which is what sparked his affection for and eventually his later fight to protect the native populations/cultures from being eradicated, shortly before his death.
Again, I’m sure this is viewed as something terribly exploitative today... but from his era, he was actually quite forward thinking.
So no, I don’t think I will ever feel *”angry”* when I see that logo - and I would hope people take the time to research and study history, before simply throwing it away as *”horrible”* in the future.
you right! i got so annoyed when she said that
Well said
Let me just say, this is better then my essay for school. 😀
I *do* think people should look more into the topic before having a set opinion.
Yes, thank you, couldn't agree more.
Imagine a 100 years later, an artist found Rae’s art supplies and use it. XDXD
Hopefully they find something good like Schmincke or Daniel Smith
Lol
@@mattmcdonald7112 or Winser and Newton
All of rae's art are so beautiful. They should be displayed in a art gallery!
Dude, this is SO COOL! Also I loved seeing you clean the pallet first! Not only for the safety measures but also for the satisfaction of seeing it clean. Awesome! 😁
Looking at how far art has evolved through history never fails to astonish me. I hope you keep doing more art history videos in the future.
“I’ve been given the orginal paintbrush wow!”
i’ve been given the love and appreciation and the right to be able to watch this historical and amazing video.

Art history is way more interesting than I thought!
We learn more than we do in school 😂
@@gracecherry8811 in my school they dont even teach art history ;-;
Are we all just gonna completely ignore the fact the listing says "partially used"???
the illustration of the Indian is quite beautiful and respectful, chill
I learn more about history while watching her videos than in school LMAO
Yes
Yup XD
omg yes
Art history with Rae: Fun and exciting!
My grade 12 art history: Put your favorite picture on this slide and write down the artist and the importance of the art.
Thank you Rae for being so respectful to us Native Americans. Wish you thing but the best❤
people in the 1920s:AHHH A NATIVE AMERICANA YOU PEOPLE ARE SAVAGES people now: wait your a native American how cool lets be bff
That is really interesting! I wonder if the first two swatches might have been "not very pigmented" because of how the binder react with the pigment over time. Especially seeing as the yellow looked more sarurated in the end. And the black, might it be a grey, like paynes grey? Seeing as the idea of watercolour is supposed to not use black and white and there was indeed no white. Also, some watercolours nowadays, especially those on paper, are dye based and therefore different because there is no pigment. These tend to be the brightest and most vibrant colours and will never granulate (not all natural/pigment watercolours do either of course). And I really hope that smell of iron was from the tin itself or pans.
Now I want a vintage set of watercolours to play with too! I mean research of course...
Thanks for another interesting video!
Best regards,
Watercolour paint maker
I agree, it is definitely a matter of them being old, not just poorly pigmented, as for the black, even today most kids sets(which this one seems to be) have black and honestly I don't understand why people make such a big deal of it, I can understand were people come from with white, as in watercolor is not only almost useless (except for very niche occasions) , but sometimes when mixing it can be counter effective by making the colors to opaque and glassy, but as for black, it does not have much of a problem other then "not being expressive/joyful enough", at least that my opinion.
@@dez713 It's one of those things teachers over recommend because it forces people into learning to to mix colours. I've seen it with digital art to, early on people can go through a bit of a phase of just using black and white for their shadows and highlights. People end up pushing it like it's something you should never do though.
Also depending on the pigment used it is supposed to be transparent and not opaque.
Lol

Now, the real question is, was the brown made of mummies? 😂
*sure*
@@galaxy_wolfie0128 i doubt it
@@galaxy_wolfie0128 no, in the mummy brown video she talked about the texture and the watercolour had no texture like that!
My partner and I have been on a 2 week road trip and I came across a video of yours transforming a coloring book page; I’ve been watching them this entire trip (while still having fun). You’re awesome. 💙
100 year old water colour palette: at least intact
My new water colours: broken, shredded to pieces and I need a new one after 1 month
My mom: 👁👄👁 i am not buying new ones for you
There is no way for watercolors to become unusable by breaking lmao. Just add water??
@@RamoArt thanks!
But I was just joking :D
Not me being sketchy about company being owned by two people but name of just one on its brand.
They remind me of Prang from when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s. And I adore the color palette choices - I sympathize with modern watercolors being too intense and unnatural. Thanks for trying these out because I've been searching for a visual of a vintage watercolor color palette without just making yellow ochre/sepia tinted versions of modern colors. And your painting turned out gorgeous :)
I have found that more premium watercolors tend to have earthier, more muted tones mixed in. Cheap(er) sets though definitely just give you the brightest, most intense synthetic primary colors they could find, and leave it to you to mix them into something not eye searing.
I love how Rae entertains us and teaches us history..
Just like with the crayons, I am going to be storing all my watercolor for my great, great grandchildren from the 2020-2021 pandemic- 😂
Tell them it has covid in and could kill them 😂😂
@@gracecherry8811 That'll teach them not to touch it! 😂
"2020-2021 pandemic"

It was so touching to watch you bring these much loved paints to life again,
The portrait you made with them was simply haunting.
Really all around beautiful episode. Thanks!
I know the whole native Americans on packaging is unacceptable now a days but back then it was normal... And it's a piece of history, and I'm surprised the paints even worked...I also wonder if modern paint pans would fit into it...
Ah yes 😌 I just made tea and now you’ve posted
This is gonna be a good day
I loved the video! I also panicked when you found the mold. Make sure to wear a mask, old molds can sometimes cause severe infections when inhaled, specially old molds that may be near to extinct in our days. Love your content 💞
*Rae is gonna be one of the most amazing artists in History!*
That's why her ART HISTORY is so amazing!💖💖✨✨❤❤❤❤❤💝💝

okay but like these water colors are more beautiful than modern ones hands down, that painting was beautiful and that purple and yellow? EVERYTHING ♥
These watercolors' pigments and transparency strongly remind me of the watercolors my high school had. The black would be so gray and faded looking
My art teacher gave me and the other student along to this video to learn about the history of paint...
The pallete was really old, and very much used. it could have been thrown out long ago, have painted its last picture. but rae restored it and is giving it new life. its old, not rare.
Your hand movements are just ✨AESTHETICALLY PLEASING ✨

The green could be arsenic. It was still used in green around this time
Uhm what ?😰

@@jocelynecupcake random social justice warriors were cancelling brands and stuff it was before cancel culture had really gotten big and they didn't wanna risk being cancelled so they changed the logo to avoid political drama hulu did the same with an episode of golden girls because they had mud mask on in a episode about the spa and didn't wanna risk being associated for the resemblance of black face even tho it wasn't racist at all
@@natecuellar4561 Oh yeah I heard about the blackface thing. They really removed that episode of Golden girls? There's a tv channel that my grandma watches that has golden girls still on it, i don't think they'd remove that episode.
I heard a lot about cancelling things for stupid reasons, but what's so offensive about a Native American lady on a butter that's called "Land O Lakes"? I think it's meant to show that the butter real and not made from all those artificial products (also I looked at the butter packaging they still have the Native American lady on it, but we haven't bought it in a while)
@@jocelynecupcake they don't have her on it anymore where I live in Texas and yes as ridiculous as it is they did remove the one episode I swear idk if it's still removed but it was there's videos and funny tik toks on it
@@natecuellar4561 Oh I live up here in Pennslyvania and they still have her on it, from the last I knew. And I expect people are going to make fun if they remove things for no reason. People need to stop removing things for ridiculous reasons but when there's a racial joke in Fairly odd parents no one says anything. Like they think stuff that isn't racist is racist but when something actually is racist they think it's fine....

Watercolor palettes haven't changed much over time. The metal container is so nostalgic for me, that was the standard in my childhood. The "mold" might be gum arabic or acacia risen to the surface during drying. Thank you for painting Clara Bow the 1920s "It Girl".
“Before I show you the after, I’ll show you the before”
Part of me wants to research whether or not the company used mummies in the brown, and the other part of me wants to remain in blissful ignorance.
Same lol
No it's not mummy brown I think it's gold based on the color chart it's supposed to come with
While mummy brown was still being produced in the 20th century, it was no longer common. There were not too many useable mummys left, and the pigment was very costly. It certainly would have not ended up in a paint box like this one.
And then look at your name
Jesus I'm dying XD 🤣🤣🤣
Oh sorry its satan
That was such an inspiring video, Rae! Oh, and that greenish yellow you spoke of at the end - it looks pretty much like Irgazin yellow, a stunning color I love to use 💛
