older paints can be made of toxic ingredients that aren’t used any more, like lead, real cadmium, arsenic, depending on how old. Best not to breathe it or to get it on your skin too much, just to be careful.
That looked like mold on top of a lot of those pans. I would sterilize the brushes you used before you use them on any other palettes or you could transfer mold spores into them.
I think you can restore the small one yourself! 1. Soak tray in vinegar for a couple days to loosen the rust. 2. Sand off the rusty spots and loose paint 3. Spray inside and out with spray paint. 4. drop a few drops of isopropyl alcohol on top of the pans, to kill the mold. 5. With a cloth, rub the grime off the sides of the pans and the crust on top of the pigment blocks. 6. Then drop water on the pigment blocks to soak a bit and try again!
So apparently the Winsor and Newton Scholastic set is from the 1960s, about that time. I searched on google and my dad told me he used a similar set around 1965. Jag älskar din Skånska 🇸🇪
Watercolors can mold. And the rusty set looks like there is a lot of mold. I probably would have used a household sponge to scrub and clean the set before starting. I would fear for my new watercolor sets, that I transfer mold spores with my brushes from the old to a new watercolor set.
the "layer" on top might be that the colors were not light-fast. So the top bleached. The shape of the older set looks a bit like the Royal talens half pans so maybe thats a lead? Cool video!!
Many of those old paints are highly toxic. I saw your cat was touching or putting her paw on them. Afterwards, she will clean herself and be exposed to the toxic metals etc. I hope you see this message and keep her well away from them in the future (don't get them on your skin or breath in close to them either).
shahar fy yes but most of the highly toxic pigments aren’t used nowadays however these might still have some of the toxic pigment. I’d be particularly careful around the yellow and blue tones.
I often forget that paints can be toxic :/, especially around watercolours. I mean, those opaque watercolours, that practically everybody had to use in art classes don't carry any security warnings, but the Kuretakes (yeah, I know not classical watercolours as they are defined here in Europe or western countries per se) that I just ordered off Amazon are. Which kinda left me a bit insecure, because I actually never had any paints before where I was warned of their hazardousness and that they may cause cancer o.O. So over-cautious and somewhat paranoid me will probably end up using those only with gloves, in a well-ventilated room and maybe with a mask on. Would be the first time that I'd actually have to take security measures when painting -.-
@@LunaBianca1805 Your kuretake paints will be fine unless you eat them or rub them into an open wound. Japanese companies often are very careful to highlight any possible dangers. Chinese manufacturers (where many art supplies are made) typically don't care or bother to warn.
@@syfy666 in old paint they used much toxic paint, and since that paint she's using is old, i think the little box can be from 1850-1900s it could contain very toxic paint. No these days we have replaced most of the very toxic paints with less toxic. But that doesn't mean modern paint is not toxic its just less toxic than before.
The white fuzz or spiderweb-looking film on the top of some paints look like they might have been covered in mold. This can happen to old paints or can be dependent on climate; such as humid environments.
This was so awesome. I like how you did a completely contemporary art piece with such old paints. I also feel like there is an element of magic in waking up old watercolor paints. They were sleeping and now they are awake and ready to make magic again.
The one and the bigger container is fine. I'm more worried about getting tetanus from the smaller one though. It's way more older and rustier, probably old enough that the paints have lead and arsenic in them. Maybe give them to a museum or something.
Oooo! This brought back memories as I had that Windsor Newton one as a child. It was my mother's and she used to let me 'play' with it. I'd forgotten about it till I saw this 😍 I don't know when she got it, but I'm guessing in the 1960's or something like that? As she used to paint when she was younger before getting into all manner of other crafts.
Watercolor pans are just meant to be used 💙 i loved seeing the character of the old sets, someone clearly learned from and loved that scholastic set. don't leave your palettes in drawers forever!
Ooh I haven't even watched it all but im excited! Your one of my favorite art inspirations, thank you for continuing to make videos that make me smile!. Stay safe and remember to wash your hands!
The rusty container reminds me of my dad's old set. Just the color and shape. It was a Reeves brand and made in England. I don't actually know how old it is, but it was my dad when he was a child so from the early 60's. The paint pods are different though - they are in the circle pans and there is only 6. But yeah, it reminded me of It so I thought I'd share.
I am looking forward to see if someone has any informations about the palettes. Pretty interesting to me. Maybe the rusty one is in bad condition because it was laying in a wet basement? 🤔 how long does it take for paints to loose it's pigment? they're looking really old. Keen to know how old..would be great if you can get some info 🤞🏻😊
I have paint set from 2004 and it's started to crack just a little bit but other than that it looks really good. Feels like paints last forever. Metal cases however doesn't take long to get rusty.
I have old white nights from Leningrad times. The browns have lost its pigmenns but they historically where poorer quality back then with old "recipie". Sorry bad English
Oh my gosh! I love how you talked to the little poor ones pencils. So much love, so much empathy! But more I love your cat! 😻 and of course your channel. It is so relaxing to watch! Please take care! 😷 😷 😷 ❤️❤️❤️ Micky
I love how fresh and vivid your art was, despite using really old paints! I also wanted to tell you, i really liked your art before your youtube break, but since yoûve come back, I ADORE what you create, yoûve definitely become one of my favourite youtuber, whose video i really look forward to ! 🤗 Keep up the good work! 🥰
the first box looks like a forgotten school set (prob from a designer school or something that was used for a while enough that they added a gold paint and a few others but then it was forgotten)… The second one actually doesn't look like a school set but rather a collection from someone that actually had an a unique pallete in mind. (notice how there's very little greens and even reds for that matter) I see a lot of tope-y yellows and browns along with a lot of blues which makes me think it was a portrait or cityscape artist.
If you want to try and clean the rusty case, you can try putting just the case into warm salt water with aluminium foil flakes. Works like a charm on silverware and might also work on other metals, too :)
I would love to see more videos like this. Definitely. This video was really interesting. I wonder if you had use a small knife to scrape off the very top of the small sets paints to see if the paint underneath would be activated with water. Maybe the paint from under the surface might have had some pigment.
It's like the Tv shows i watched as a kid when at relatives, as they had cable; "This old house", springs to mind or, in your case "This old Paint". Sally: Mum, what have you bought now, KatV: Cool old paints, Sally: No Mum you haven't, i'm not impressed with these, now, where's my Tea.
Haha I love this!!! The old paints are great! I’ll admit I was a little nervous about you touching them! Haha! But. Makes me wanna go find some old watercolors now!! 😋
Winsor and Newton are a pretty Hardy paint set. My Grandfather had an old wooden one from when they first started to sell paint boxes. I haven't seen it in years and doubt very much that it's still in the family. Its probably years and years of Insect carcasses and damp that's caused the pigment to breakdown. Lovely picture. Take care stay safe ♥️👍🇬🇧🤗
Just found the channel last week and watching a lot of videos but this is by far one of my favorite! There is something magical about antique, used and 'lived' art supplies! You make those colors come to life again 🤩 Not sure how expensive they were, but this should become a series on the channel: art from vintage art supplies 😁😁
Wow I really liked this ! Pretty nifty and 😱 some of those colours really came back! And it is pretty interesting to wonder who was using them last and what were they doing? Cat intermission was sook cute 😍
Would you please review the Finecolor Alcohol Based Markers from AliExpress? Those look very decent and are very reasonably priced!!! Please!!! I would be so happy to see if those cheaper Copic alternative!!
Okay, this may sound and actuall be a stupid idea but... you were speaking of restauration "services" - maybe you could sand some of the paint and get the top layer off? That way you could have a look if the paint inside was still intact Oo I'm a pretty curious person when it comes to stuff like that xD so maybe ts worth a shot? If sanding would be too hard to do, you could also try and just smash the paints with a hammer? xD (okay, this is getting ridiculous, but I mean... it's worth a try for 1 pan? Maybe? x) )
If you sand dry paint though you'd have to he careful if any of them are made of toxic substances that you could then breathe in. Ventilation etc would be super important if its things like cadmium or lead. I'd likely leave it to a professional 😬
I suspect the winsor and newton one is from the 1930's or 40's if you look up the vintage watercolour sets from their brand this one shows up as being from around then.Or at least very similar models
I have an about 20 years old Schmincke palette. Some are a bit hard to activate since they are thoroughly, hard as rock dried on the top layer, but letting them soak a bit beforehand makes them perfectly usable ♥ I don't quite remember whether they were professional student, I only remember it was seen as quite the investment by my mother. I guess it's a mix since the colors were all handpicked by my then painting course teacher. Mix of full and half pans, 18 colors in a 24 half pan palette :)
I wonder if, in the "bad" palette, you could have turned over any of the cakes. Some of them seemed loose in the pans... Just an idea. Despite all of the warnings about toxicity below (well-deserved & well-said warnings), I LOVE old art supplies & am a total sucker for them (especially the packaging). Thanks for showing these to us❣ So much fun.....
I didn't think about the ingredients possibly being toxic, but I cringed so much watching this, I got a cramp :P I would have first, taken a dry scrub brush to everything (while wearing a mask) to remove loose spores/dust/rust/etc., steel wool/ Magic Eraser/ sand paper to remove outer layer then sprayed with alcohol and let sit until dry, wiped again with with wet, soapy cloth, spritz heavily with water and add a few drops glycerin to every paint, stick them in a ziploc bag to maintain humidity, and let sit a week or so, checking occasionally to add more water and to make sure no mold growing. I would only use distilled water, btw, to re-humidify. You have really got me wondering what happened to the paints I had as a kid - mom taught art, so I was the only kid in kindergarten with a professional quality water color set lol. Also wondering what happened to my great grandfather's paints - he used to be an illustrator for Chicago newspapers. All in all, an enjoyable video. Hope you are able to find out more about the paints, get them restored, and maybe do a follow up :D
A very easy and efficient way to clean rust is by putting the rusty thing in a bit of vinegar (just put it in a plastic container and pour vinegar until it covers the object and leave it there. In about an hour you'll just see the rust flakes coming out. ) then you can wipe it clean and coat it with a bit of varnish, to prevent it from getting rusty again. of course you can also remove rust with sandpaper, but that is "messier"
I believe Reeves actually is part of the Winsor & Newton company, actually. That Reeves pan probably wasn't part of the set originally, but it's technically the same brand. These days Reeves is the name on their childrens/craft level supplies, lesser quality than Cotman.
Jenna Gets Creative , originally Reeves was its own brand and not part of W&N. They were two separate companies that both made professional art materials. Somewhere along the line Reeves lost out and is still trying to make some kind of comeback as a brand, but if it has been bought by W&N that will never happen.
I think running in water while brushing would make it more hygenic and could possibly remove the grime more than just brushing with water... i dont think its really “cleaning” .. it is more on swirling the dirt.
I’ve heard Denise Soren talk about a certain color of Windsor and newton paint getting a white film on it over time. I think it was a blue. Anyway interesting video!
I dont have to wonder. My grandma was a fashion designer and used watercolors and after she past my grandad gave them to me. Its extra cool because my mom remembers using them.
From using cheaper water colors with my kids, I noticed White often settledls on them. Maybe it has a form of cornstarch on it as a binder and that comes out when settled.
For some reason, I find those boxes a little creepy haha and I would worried too about some bug coming to say hi! The smaller box looks like it could easily hurt you hand. Be careful please!
Hey Kattvalk! If you still have your lineart from your mythical creature collab with baylee jae, I'd love to see how you'd color it! (The picture was sort of a Griffin creature with antlers). It's one of my favorite pieces I've seen you do. Baylee did a great job coloring it but I'd love to see what you would do with it!
I think some of the paints could be salvaged if you scrape off the top layer! As for restoration, I've done a couple and it's actually easier (and more fun) than you'd think
Jag har en precis likadan som den lilla rostiga. Min farmor köpte den runt 2000 och sen fick jag ärva den. Men undrar om inte din är äldre än 20 år? Så det kan vara svårt att avgöra hur gammal den är. Den kan ju ha råkat hamna ute eller nått.
The little one looks like a horadam deluxe pocket set from 1930's-1940's they look exactly like ones that my grandpa had at his house in great conditions
older paints can be made of toxic ingredients that aren’t used any more, like lead, real cadmium, arsenic, depending on how old. Best not to breathe it or to get it on your skin too much, just to be careful.
Last time I was this early all these paints were usable.
That looked like mold on top of a lot of those pans. I would sterilize the brushes you used before you use them on any other palettes or you could transfer mold spores into them.
Try and email Windsor newton with the pictures. They should be able to tell you the date
They're from the 1960s
I think you can restore the small one yourself!
1. Soak tray in vinegar for a couple days to loosen the rust.
2. Sand off the rusty spots and loose paint

have you tried leaving a few drops of water to soak on the less awake colors for a few. ive seen that work before.
Sally's face when you were petting her cheeks was so adorable! Complete bliss
a restoration account i follow us @Oddtinkering maybe he’d clean up the rusty one? who knows! continuing the video
Omg yes, his work is amazing!
My Mechanics is also a good choice!

That was super cool to watch - I also love trying out and exploring old objects.
I look forward to seeing your videos every Saturday! You have by far the most interesting content in RUclips Art Community!
Those little Sally intermissions make me smile so hard. This was awesome!
It actually quite impressive that these colours work. There might even be a story about the older set.
The rusty container reminds me of my dad's old set. Just the color and shape. It was a Reeves brand and made in England. I don't actually know how old it is, but it was my dad when he was a child so from the early 60's.

CraftyMagicArts, if it was an old reeves set the name would be stamped in the metal on the bottom I think, going by other boxes I have seen.
I am looking forward to see if someone has any informations about the palettes. Pretty interesting to me.
Maybe the rusty one is in bad condition because it was laying in a wet basement? 🤔 how long does it take for paints to loose it's pigment? they're looking really old. Keen to know how old..would be great if you can get some info 🤞🏻😊

The only ones I could compare are my school paints from the 90s...but they had bad quality anyway 😅 one of these "watercolor palettes"

That wn set makes me happy bc it looks like whoever had it loved it well and used it quite a bit
can’t wait to see what you make!
Ohh I’m so excited for it! I love all of your watercolour art
I loved the intro!! “No? You will find out anyway!” 😂😂😂
I work in a book store and was sorting through bargin books today and found a book titled "Happy Cats" and thought of you!
This was so interesting, I love finding old art supplies it just has a special feel to it
I love watching the restoration channels. I think you should see if it can be fixed. Have fun.
This is one of favorite videos you’ve done

Yes I want to know, yes. Show me all the old paints Kat, I'm ready.
If you want to try and clean the rusty case, you can try putting just the case into warm salt water with aluminium foil flakes. Works like a charm on silverware and might also work on other metals, too :)
it would be cool to see if u could fix some of them by re-grinding the pigments and adding some gum arabic binder!!! awesome video as always ❤️❤️❤️
One of the colors was "Hooker's Green Light". And also Brown Madder Tin.
Omg the final product is beautiful I want that piece of art in my room :O
The painting is stunning
I like this video, it was interesting to see how this old paint is used after a long time! 💕
The layer of white on the paints could be calc? Which is often found in hard water! Maybe?
The purple is so pretty
I would love to see more videos like this. Definitely. This video was really interesting. I wonder if you had use a small knife to scrape off the very top of the small sets paints to see if the paint underneath would be activated with water.

Winsor and Newton are a pretty Hardy paint set. My Grandfather had an old wooden one from when they first started to sell paint boxes. I haven't seen it in years and doubt very much that it's still in the family.
Its probably years and years of Insect carcasses and damp that's caused the pigment to breakdown.
Lovely picture. Take care stay safe ♥️👍🇬🇧🤗
Lol your commentary makes me laugh in a good way - thanks for the interesting video.
Sally is sooo pretty 😍😍
You could try scraping the tops off with a knife or taking them out the pan and turning them upside down, loved the video ❤❤🙂
...damn made me think about the times i used one of my parents old watercolours...that were glued in cardboard(?) Thing... wonder were those are...
The small one, in my imagination, is a paint box from the Titanic.
Just found the channel last week and watching a lot of videos but this is by far one of my favorite! There is something magical about antique, used and 'lived' art supplies! You make those colors come to life again 🤩 Not sure how expensive they were, but this should become a series on the channel: art from vintage art supplies 😁😁
Really cool to see that the paints stay kind of "good", love the outcome of your piece! :)
You could add drops of gum Arabic to the old watercolor pans to get them reactivated again 👍😊
If you were wondering... Vintage is 30-99 years old, antique is 100+ years old
“Antique “ is also used to describe any old objects
I refuse to refer to myself as vintage. :P
Wow I really liked this ! Pretty nifty and 😱 some of those colours really came back! And it is pretty interesting to wonder who was using them last and what were they doing? Cat intermission was sook cute 😍
Would you please review the Finecolor Alcohol Based Markers from AliExpress? Those look very decent and are very reasonably priced!!! Please!!! I would be so happy to see if those cheaper Copic alternative!!

I have an about 20 years old Schmincke palette. Some are a bit hard to activate since they are thoroughly, hard as rock dried on the top layer, but letting them soak a bit beforehand makes them perfectly usable ♥

I loved the violate colour

Thanks for showing these to us❣ So much fun.....
I think it would be really cool if you did collab with a restoration channel, I love watching them and it would be nice to see them do an art product!
Where did you find this jewel?! I love these things! Wonderful your video. Like!
I didn't think about the ingredients possibly being toxic, but I cringed so much watching this, I got a cramp :P I would have first, taken a dry scrub brush to everything (while wearing a mask) to remove loose spores/dust/rust/etc., steel wool/ Magic Eraser/ sand paper to remove outer layer then sprayed with alcohol and let sit until dry, wiped again with with wet, soapy cloth, spritz heavily with water and add a few drops glycerin to every paint, stick them in a ziploc bag to maintain humidity, and let sit a week or so, checking occasionally to add more water and to make sure no mold growing. I would only use distilled water, btw, to re-humidify. You have really got me wondering what happened to the paints I had as a kid - mom taught art, so I was the only kid in kindergarten with a professional quality water color set lol. Also wondering what happened to my great grandfather's paints - he used to be an illustrator for Chicago newspapers. All in all, an enjoyable video. Hope you are able to find out more about the paints, get them restored, and maybe do a follow up :D
Knowing that in the end my palettes will end up like these... It makes me want to paint more!
Excellent work.
I would soak them in alcohol and then let them dry and try to use water on them. It would disinfect them and also breakdown any nasty grime
If you soak them there won't be anything left, they are watercolours!!!!
A very easy and efficient way to clean rust is by putting the rusty thing in a bit of vinegar (just put it in a plastic container and pour vinegar until it covers the object and leave it there. In about an hour you'll just see the rust flakes coming out. ) then you can wipe it clean and coat it with a bit of varnish, to prevent it from getting rusty again.
of course you can also remove rust with sandpaper, but that is "messier"

Try sitting the tin overnight in Coca Cola or rubbing alcohol 😍 it gets rid of rust 😍
I really like looking at old art sets 😍😍
I think running in water while brushing would make it more hygenic and could possibly remove the grime more than just brushing with water... i dont think its really “cleaning” .. it is more on swirling the dirt.
I’ve heard Denise Soren talk about a certain color of Windsor and newton paint getting a white film on it over time. I think it was a blue. Anyway interesting video!
The first tin does seem to be mainly winsor and newton. I recognize some of them from my own cotman paints especially the rose madder.
I dont have to wonder.
My grandma was a fashion designer and used watercolors and after she past my grandad gave them to me. Its extra cool because my mom remembers using them.
Ps, you can save those paint brushes. Use "master cleaner brush soap. It comes in both a container and soap bar.
honestly tho I want those they look so nice and high quality
My favourite part of her videos, the cat intermissions😂
From using cheaper water colors with my kids, I noticed White often settledls on them. Maybe it has a form of cornstarch on it as a binder and that comes out when settled.
I wish she had chipped the watercolors that had like rust on them or mold and even leave them with some water on them to see if any pigment got out
I remember my crusty, muddy old watercolors from childhood. I was not the best painter. Still have never got into watercolor.
Great!
i love ur videosss!!!
For some reason, I find those boxes a little creepy haha and I would worried too about some bug coming to say hi! The smaller box looks like it could easily hurt you hand. Be careful please!
Y Can ask Winsor Newton and loved your art work even when y had to use the old paints y have got real talent hope the information helps
Hey Kattvalk! If you still have your lineart from your mythical creature collab with baylee jae, I'd love to see how you'd color it! (The picture was sort of a Griffin creature with antlers). It's one of my favorite pieces I've seen you do. Baylee did a great job coloring it but I'd love to see what you would do with it!
I think some of the paints could be salvaged if you scrape off the top layer! As for restoration, I've done a couple and it's actually easier (and more fun) than you'd think
What kind of brush do you use?
I wonder if you could flip the paint squares over and get pigment that way. That is if you can get them out of the squares.
As soon as I unwrapped that tin, it was going in the bin 🤣
I have a box almost identical to the Winsor and Newton one but a different brand- page London?
Woww....awsome art...love uuu.....
Jag har en precis likadan som den lilla rostiga. Min farmor köpte den runt 2000 och sen fick jag ärva den. Men undrar om inte din är äldre än 20 år? Så det kan vara svårt att avgöra hur gammal den är. Den kan ju ha råkat hamna ute eller nått.
Someone may have brought this up, but the fact that the paint is in plastic pans instead of metal pans leads me to believe they're not all that old.
The little one looks like a horadam deluxe pocket set from 1930's-1940's they look exactly like ones that my grandpa had at his house in great conditions
