Description: Today we are going to take a Thorough look at Paul Rubens watercolor paint. You can see all of the palettes I will compare here:amzn.to/3uocfvL I will unbox, swatch, and paint a small painting with the new emerald green palette set: amzn.to/3jnfihk *At the time of uploading there is a 20% off coupon for this set and it comes in 4 colors. I will compare it to the other Paul Rubens sets I have at the end of the video and compare set swatches and palette construction. Pros of new Paul Rubens set in the green tin *price *cadmium and cobalt free (this is not a pro for some, including me) *Nive balanced color selection *Pigment and lightfast info included *Unique tin *Nice giftable packaging *Nice glazing, lifting and blending Cons: My tin did not latch securely (I might have an oddball tho) Bottom Line: This is another good paint from Paul Rubens. The only significant change I can see is the replacing of real cadmium and cobalt-based colors with hues. This was probably done to reduce cost or comply with consumers' wishes to use less toxic pigments. I prefer the original palettes with the cobalt and cadmium because I feel those those unique pigments give a palette more personality. This set, paint wise with the exception of the Manganese violet reminds me more of the Meilang Pretty Excellent paint this company also makes. Still, I think it is a good value and a nice option for those wishing to avoid real cadmium and cobalt paints. Try a class! lindsayweirich.teachable.com NEW!
