A little update: Cadmium free paint and Cadmium hue are BOTH CAD FREE apparently! I had no idea! Naming paints “Cad Free” is a marking tactic to make it seem safer (which I fell for lol). Shout out to all the people who let me know! And Prussian blue is still very much a color, just not for crayola’s brand btw. I should have clarified Thanks for watching and thanks for everyone’s input! Y’all teach me so much 👏
Yeah from what I have learned recently, anything with “hue” in the name, is an imitation. It’s honestly pretty funny that this video came out like a day after I learned this haha.
This cad hue is the less light fast, less opaque PR112 or Naphthol Red. As for the dangers, it falls in the list of pigments that are safe if you are not eating the paint or breathing in pigment dust by for example making paints, sanding, or using pastels. That said, Lead, cadmium, and cobalt are not good for you or the environment and can lead to heavy metal poisoning but they are not going to be adsorbed by the skin. Paris green on other hand...
I had a version of spray chalk when I was a kid in the 90s! I lived in an apartment so the neighbors went bonkers acting like I was permanently altering the 3 foot space in front of our door. My mom just silently filled a bucket of water and threw it on the chalk to get rid of it. We also couldn't use regular sidewalk chalk because some neighbors hated joy.
Your not alone. In 1997 my sister and I were drawing with sidewalk chalk and a cop walked up to us, took our chalk, and said to us "you can't draw on the sidewalk it's vandalism get your parents so I can give them a ticket and a talking to" we argued that it was just sidewalk chalk and would wash away with water but the cop insisted it was vandalism. We got our parents and the cop reamed them out about us using chalk and gave them a fine. we found out after 2 years and many fines that the old lady across the street was calling the cops on us every other day of the week just because she hated children and didn't want any living on her block
@@catwomanforever5537 Wow. Misery loves company they say and she had to be such a miserable person to do that. Let kids be kids sheesh, you weren't hurting anything.
If a paint has "hue" in the name, that means it's using some alternative pigment- so neither one has cadmium in it. The "hue" version should still look the same as the original, though, so you're not missing out on anything. Edit: I didn't know Crayola replaced Prussian Blue with Midnight Blue. At least other brands still have it.
Good point. There is also a slight difference between the two, especially because light red cadmium (the genuine pigment and the paint hue here) has a warm undertone, whilst the supposed dupe has a cooler undetone.
Depends on the brand of cadmium hue. That galleria acrylic is a student grade so it will lack the opacity of a true cadmium. The cadmium free from liquitex is pretty close though.
I remember Prussian Blue too. I'm starting to wonder if Crayola is lying, or if I really had access to so many old stock crayons. My mom was a substitute teacher before I was born, so maybe I was using her old crayons. Weird.
Prussian blue is a standard blue hue. I just bought some Prussian blue fabric and I know I have a Prussian blue colored pencil. It wasn’t specific to Crayola.
I think the brand "Crayola" is the only one to ban the color. I've got some watercolors that say: "Prussian" Blue. Though, I've NEVER heard of "Russian Blue"...
I honestly love when you get into the little history bits of each of these interesting art supplies! I don't think the end product was honestly that bad. The only critique I would say I have about it is that maybe if the stencil were arranged in a different direction say off-centre or even diagonally, MAYBE that might have made you like the piece a little more? But it wasn't a bad piece all together! And as always, so much fun to watch!
yeah lmao so far this video is scuffed hate to say it, but Rae's video quality suffered. She used to test crazy stuff, research and be accurate, and now it feel like she just throws some art supplies together and calls it a day :(
I really hope she sees this and tests a paint with actual cadmium. It is something to be careful with, but I know plenty of people who use cadmium pigments regularly because of how nice they are
Ok I have a REALLY cute story involving rose art crayons. Back in I think 2nd or 3rd grade I gave my teacher a crayon for no reason. She asked me “why blue?” and my answer was apparently “because it’s a special color” or something vague like that. MANY years later at my high school graduation, that same teacher handed me a letter with the exact same crayon from back then attached praising me for how much I’ve grown since then. Idk why but the fact that she returned the crayon to me when I graduated high school made me tear up it was like HOW did she manage to keep this exact crayon for so long. Especially since I was a kid and there was barely a reason for giving it to her in the first place back then because yknow kids just do things because. And to add an extra coincidence, my graduation dress happened to be the EXACT same shade of blue that was in those rose art 24 packs.
Prussian blue was used in the sanitizer that atomic bomb victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki used on the wounds. The mother of my husband’s best friend drank it in desperation when she was on her deathbed. She survived and is still with us .
It's actually used as a treatment for caesium and thallium exposure, including radioactive caesium, and it can test for a form of anemia. So ironically it WAS something that could do some good in that case.
Just thinking about the Kid-fitti, while that "lawmaker" was worried about kids doing "real" graffiti, I'm thinking about the generation of Street Artists and Muralists we might have lost because they didn't have this product to practice with as kids. Also the Prussian Blue thing is extra stupid because paint makers (especially gouache and watercolor) still has PB27, which every brand calls Prussian Blue, so really what was the point LOL.
What i really like about these series is how much it pushes your artistic boundaries and gives you new methods to work with. So glad you show people its okay to challenge yourself and your skillset
what I find stupid is that they say spray chalk for kids is gonna “encourage” graffiti. I can kind of see it but at the same time any art supply can be used for vandalism. so by that logic ban chalk, any markers, all paints, any kind of art supplies that leaves a mark because I can tag or vandalize with sidewalk chalk, apple barrel paint, and a crayon. graffiti can’t be stopped and can be done with just about anything that can leave a mark of color
Also, I have never met a kid who didn't draw on a wall at some point. It's natural to young kids, they don't know there are rules about where they are allowed to be creative.
As someone who has done graffiti I understand 💯 anything would be a gateway and for me it was crayons on the wall the Kidfitti would have been fun though I'm not gonna lie
Hey Rae! Honestly I kinda love the cherry artwork. I think it would work really well as a print since the art supplies are not ideal preservation quality. One note, the “cadmium-containing” paint you used from winsor and newton is actually a cadmium hue (the name was cadmium red hue), which means it’s not real cadmium. I don’t know about acrylics, but with watercolor artists, w&n has been very secretive about what pigments they use for their cadmium hue colors, and some of them have been found not to be lightfast. Cadmium-containing paints do still exist and are commonly used. Looking at pigment codes is an easy and reliable way to tell what a paint contains, and the fact that artist-grade paints exist that do not disclose pigments is a problem for many artists. Their pigment codes are PY35, PY37, PO20, and PR108.
I was going to say that many watercolor paints still exist with Cadmium in them, especially cheaper brands, since cadmium paints are cheaper. They are also a bit more opaque. I know for sure White Nights has true cadmium colors in their base sets even.
if the label on the paint has "hue" in the name then it is not the pure mineral, just a less toxic version of the same hue. (I just took my art PRAXIS exam, which is why this is at the forefront of my brain.) So the Cadmium paint you bought is not the pure toxic cadmium that is banned.
Similar to the issue with the flesh crayola crayon, the copic marker E00 used to be called "skin white" but has since been changed to "cotton pearl". I have a "skin white" E00 from approximately 8 yrs ago and a "cotton pearl" E00 refill that i bought like 2-3 yrs ago
I know this is random but I love your videos and because of you I've learned a lot of things... I also know that you focus on quality art supplies but I am always in AWE how you manage to make something so beautiful from crappy art supplies.. You indeed are a proof that an artist can create art with almost anything... I'm glad I found your channel
Prussian Blue paint also had traces of lapis lazuli in it, that's what made it such a rich colour and expensive to buy... BUT Prussian blue had to be my favourite shade of blue, it’s beautiful.
The flesh color crayon isn't banned it was just changed, same with Prussian Blue. Also that was just Crayola that changed those names. Prussian Blue and Flesh Color are used by other companies still.
I was a child in the 1970’s, and I ABSOLUTELY remember there being “Flesh” crayons! Crayola may have stopped printing the label in the 60’s, but they were still selling old-store-stock when I was in Kindergarten & 1st grade!
Cadmium may be toxic, but it is very lightfast. Most colors that are similar to the cadmium line are fugitive. Chrome yellow was a favorite of the impressionists and was used as a replacement for cadmium, but now their paintings are going through a process of darkening and are not as vibrant as they originally were. There are many toxic pigments that remain popular with professionals due to their stable, lightfast nature. As a general rule in paint making, toxic pigments are most dangerous in their powdered form when they can be inhaled and absorbed through the lungs. Once the binder is added, they are less dangerous and one would have to work harder to get poisoned from the paint. Basically, don't snort or lick the paint. Giving the cadmium such a low rating feels a bit shortsighted. There is a reason why big names like Schmincke and Windsor & Newton openly sell genuine cadmium paints.
I think describing chrome yellow as a replacement for cadmium is inaccurate. Chrome yellow is a lead based pigment and it’s use as a paint has been dated back to 1810. Cadmium colors were discovered in 1817 and their use in Artist paint didn’t occur until the late 19th century, and cadmium sulfide, on which cadmium pigments are based, are considered considerably less toxic than lead. Chrome yellow was definitely more widely known to artists than cadmium during the time of the impressionists and post-impressionists.
I hate to disappoint you Rae but that was not cadmium paint! The tube says "cadmium red hue" and the word hue means it is an Imitation of cadmium red, but without the toxicity. So you're safe either way 😊 thank you for the video, love ur content
I was looking for this comment! Yep, neither cadmium paints she used actually contained the traditional cadmium pigment that's known to be toxic. Nonetheless, she still presented two very nice paints with that swatch.
@@OwlGirl258 Might it be possible to compound one's own paint with cadmium obtained from a laboratory chemical supply house? I notice that many chemistry channels seem to have no difficulty getting various gnarly chemicals as long as they aren't notorious precursors for making illicit drugs. And cadmium wouldn't be. But again laboratory grade precautions would be required. Don't do it anywhere you can't contain the residue and use adequate personal protection.
Except that it's full of misinformation. She's clearly way too lazy to do even basic research. The "cadmium" paint she bought was a cadmium "hue", which means none of those two paints contained any cadmium. Plus these days, cadmium particles are treated in a way that makes them way less toxic. The "Prussian blue" crayons never got banned, they just got replaced. And I'm offended that she thinks us black people would be offended by a crayon named "Flesh"; c'mon, we don't get triggered THAT easily.
Mmmm. On the cadmium paint I don't think the "cadmium" actually had cadmium as it's a "hue". That one was still an imitation cad free version. (Even says "imitation" further down)
Showing my age here but besides Flesh and Prussian Blue I also colored with Indian Red. I guess I should dig through old art supplies and pull these colors for posterity.
Rae I’ve been watching your content since 2020 during quarantine and I loved your content ever since! Thank you for your amazing content and I’ll always stay a fan of this channel! 💖
I love prussian blue and it’s a shame that a lot of brands discontinuing the name and turning it into random shade names because searching for true prussian blue gets so hard 😅 Luckily amsterdam acrylic paint still just calls it prussian blue in Holland.
As someone who had done graffiti in the past I don't think Kidfitti would have been a gateway for me to do it but it would have been cool to have not gonna lie.
Dear Rae, I just thought I'd mention that inspired by your channel, today I completed my first ever acrylic painting! I'm a yarn crafts kinda girl, so I had to buy everything from scratch, and needless to say the result is questionable at best, but I'm really glad I tried something new (and hope it sticks!) :)
Hullo Rae, it is always a joy to watch your videos I think you have branched out from just simple art videos to art entertainment! Not A Bad thing and I do still enjoy your artworks as you are an inventive and engaging person.
Those crayons are definitely Kodak brand not Roseart in the box when she shows it at the beginning and in closeups. And then at the end become Roseart. Weird.
Upon a closer look, it seems to me that Crayola's midnight blue (my favorite shade of blue) is slightly greener in its current form than Prang's Prussian blue
I'm grateful to have a lot of skintone options because I draw people and I use so many colors even for a person with peach skin. Our skin contains a lot of colors we don't think about
A fun episode! (my kids were born in the 90s so I know about Rose Art). Just a note - another way to even out crayon colouring is to heat the laid down colour. Use a heat gun (the craft kind, not the industrial type!). Warm it up and it melts into a much more even layer.
Banned colors from my crayon box and their replacements! Blue balls(later changed to Cerulean) Period red(later changed to Raspberry) Pantone 448C(replaced by Lavender)
The rose art box is very similar color to Crayola. You can see this, that is why they had them change the color. People whom can't read would only go by the color of the box
Cadmium Red Hue does not contain Cadmium. It uses PR112 which is Naphthol Red. I can't find info on the Liquitex, but suspect they use one of the Naphthol or Pyrole Reds. Brands use the term "Hue" to indicate that they are a good color match while being free of the pigment in the name (Mummy, Viridian, Cadmium, etc.)
to be honest, i had assumed that they removed prussian blue due to the association with the concentration camps. the gas used left behind stains of the same colour. 6:37
4:35 Come on! How hard is it to teach your kid proper use of their creative supplies. But then, I guess there are too many lax parents who don't monitor their kids or tell them NO? 😮❓p.s. Just like Emeril Lagasse used to say "pork fat rules" on his tv show in the 90s...I'd say "Crayola Rules" when it comes to kids crayon market. RoseArt was hardly a real threat for longer than a "minute." But corporates are very protective of their look, trademarks & market dominance, so I'm not surprised Crayola sued and won.
I remember using a Flesh colored crayon as a kid, almost 40 years ago. I had no idea how old the some of the crayons in the bin were. Fascinating. Edit (and the Prussian Blue).
I remember the same thing. I didn't see your earlier post. but I was born in 1959 and distinctly remember Flesh still being in the crayon box. There were several colors that had traditional color names found in art like the Raw Umber or Burnt Sienna and even Lemon Yellow. Or from the color wheel like blue green or red-orange. The names of modern crayons have definitely gotten more fanciful. 😊
If the peeling chalk is bothering you, consider spraying the piece with workable fixative. I LOVE that stuff! Great for charcoal, pastels, chalk, or other messy mediums. Anyways, it's always great to see your vids.
I’m glad to know that all paints are cadmium free… I use a LOT of cadmium colors. Good to know I won’t be getting cancer or something 😂 Oddly enough, when I was a kid back in the 70s, I recall Crayola still having flesh as part of their crayons… Binney & Smith is actually based locally to me, so maybe that’s why? I don’t know, but we still had flesh when I was a kid. I remember because the name made me uncomfortable. But the color was amazing. It was perfect for drawing people. If you wanted to draw people off other races, they had other shades that were perfect for their skin tones anyway. White purple just got the creepy named crayon, that’s all. As for the midnight vs Prussian blue… I wonder if the Prussian blue isn’t more vibrant simply because they’re older crayons. Crayola, at some point, changed their formula from when I was a kid. I noticed it when my kids started coloring (and this was 20 years ago already). Their new formula was waxy and I made comments to my husband that they now sucked like the Rose Art crayons. So how much of the difference is in pigment and how much of it is old formula crayons vs the new crappy waxy formula crayons? 🤔
Crayola must have had a lot of those "flesh" crayons in stock, because I distinctly remember it in my crayon box (outside of school, I always had the big box with the sharpener in the back)--and this would be through the rest of the 1960s (I'm old as dirt). You are right that they did decide to change this around 1961 or so, but they didn't yank it off the market and apparently boxes of crayon with "flesh" might have been in stock at various store warehouses or something.
When Rae said the Rose Art crayons smelled like Crayola, I swear I could smell them myself 🤣 but smell is our strongest sense linked to memory. I went to primary school from 1979, and we had the huge tubs of old, battered crayons, I loved them! But we weren’t allowed to use the metallic colours or neon colours until we went up to the junior classes at age 7! 5 year old me thought this was very unfair lol, maybe that’s why I love metallic and neons today 🤣
Amazing video!!! The cad red hue is meant to replicate the original Pigment.,but (and this is especially true in watercolors) the cad hue is made using mixture of pigments which change the properties of the paint. The hue imo is not that luminous, and can get muddy easily while mixing with different paints. Also in watercolors, cadmium paints have very very subtle granulation which is lost due to the paint being a huge. And and and. Lastly about cadmium free paints in Winsor and Newton , they hide the paint composition. That's a really shady buisness practice and keeps us in dark. (I prefer single pigment colours usually😅) Also, I am a HUGE fan of Prussian Blue watercolor. It's a BEAUTIFUL colour. The crayon looked like original Pigment (which is also figitive btw!) And the midnight blue looked like pthalo Blue with prolly black to cut the contrast. :)
That W&N Galeria cadmium red hue is not cadmium paint. It's paint formulated to look exactly like cadmium red, hence the "hue" in the name. Actual cadmium red is labeled as "cadmium red," without the "hue." Which is why it looks identical to the non-cadmium paint--they are genuinely the same thing. The the difference in terminology is an advertising gimmick to make the Liquitex paint seem safer, a technique that has quite clearly worked. Also, Prussian Blue is a standard color, pretty much every watercolor paint brand has it, as well as most colored pencils.
A little update: Cadmium free paint and Cadmium hue are BOTH CAD FREE apparently! I had no idea! Naming paints “Cad Free” is a marking tactic to make it seem safer (which I fell for lol).

@@J.5in Same. Anything with Hue in the name is not the genuine stuff, but a pigment concoction that gets you close enough but safer.

Once the binder is added, they are less dangerous and one would have to work harder to get poisoned from the paint. Basically, don't snort or lick the paint.
Giving the cadmium such a low rating feels a bit shortsighted. There is a reason why big names like Schmincke and Windsor & Newton openly sell genuine cadmium paints.
I think describing chrome yellow as a replacement for cadmium is inaccurate. Chrome yellow is a lead based pigment and it’s use as a paint has been dated back to 1810. Cadmium colors were discovered in 1817 and their use in Artist paint didn’t occur until the late 19th century, and cadmium sulfide, on which cadmium pigments are based, are considered considerably less toxic than lead. Chrome yellow was definitely more widely known to artists than cadmium during the time of the impressionists and post-impressionists.
This isn’t real cadmium which would’ve been heavier. She used a hue on both so she wouldn’t know. Cadmium is visibly different.
I hate to disappoint you Rae but that was not cadmium paint! The tube says "cadmium red hue" and the word hue means it is an Imitation of cadmium red, but without the toxicity. So you're safe either way 😊 thank you for the video, love ur content
Yes! I was thinking this too! ❤
Yep.
I was looking for this comment! Yep, neither cadmium paints she used actually contained the traditional cadmium pigment that's known to be toxic. Nonetheless, she still presented two very nice paints with that swatch.
@@OwlGirl258 Might it be possible to compound one's own paint with cadmium obtained from a laboratory chemical supply house? I notice that many chemistry channels seem to have no difficulty getting various gnarly chemicals as long as they aren't notorious precursors for making illicit drugs. And cadmium wouldn't be. But again laboratory grade precautions would be required. Don't do it anywhere you can't contain the residue and use adequate personal protection.
Thanks so much for the update!!! I really appreciate the info! Totally my bad!
Her: * uese a banned art supply *
Police at 4:42 : _weee wooo weee wooooo_
Lol😂😂😂😂 good one I didn't notice it in that context
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I really love the fact that how Rae explains everything so easily that we can understand about the product and it's history ❤
Except that it's full of misinformation. She's clearly way too lazy to do even basic research. The "cadmium" paint she bought was a cadmium "hue", which means none of those two paints contained any cadmium. Plus these days, cadmium particles are treated in a way that makes them way less toxic. The "Prussian blue" crayons never got banned, they just got replaced. And I'm offended that she thinks us black people would be offended by a crayon named "Flesh"; c'mon, we don't get triggered THAT easily.
There's a crayola crayon called apricot,maybe that might have been a better match. That was the one I always thought was "flesh-tone" as a child.
2:00 this part is just too funny😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mmmm. On the cadmium paint I don't think the "cadmium" actually had cadmium as it's a "hue". That one was still an imitation cad free version. (Even says "imitation" further down)
Yeah, so many people have let me know! Totally my bad! Thanks for letting me know and for the feedback
Showing my age here but besides Flesh and Prussian Blue I also colored with Indian Red. I guess I should dig through old art supplies and pull these colors for posterity.
What was up with the Kodak crayons in the roseart section?
Good to see your awesome videos ❤
Rae I’ve been watching your content since 2020 during quarantine and I loved your content ever since! Thank you for your amazing content and I’ll always stay a fan of this channel! 💖
Awe thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching!!! I try every single video to get better and better for you guys!
4:40 I LOVE YOUR SHIRT QUEEN RAE!
I love prussian blue and it’s a shame that a lot of brands discontinuing the name and turning it into random shade names because searching for true prussian blue gets so hard 😅
Luckily amsterdam acrylic paint still just calls it prussian blue in Holland.
Prussian blue is a great shade! I didn’t know that’s how it got the name so thanks for the info 😊
… Did you not know what Prussia was?
@ Ya but I guess I thought it was named after a specific location there, something that looked a similar colour idk 🤷🏼♀️
As someone who had done graffiti in the past I don't think Kidfitti would have been a gateway for me to do it but it would have been cool to have not gonna lie.
I can’t live without Rae
the funny thing is that prussian blue still comes with art supplies like acrylic and watercolors in india even i have a lot of it
it's still a very popular color in the art world. i can just go online and buy some.
it was only banned by crayola
Dear Rae, I just thought I'd mention that inspired by your channel, today I completed my first ever acrylic painting! I'm a yarn crafts kinda girl, so I had to buy everything from scratch, and needless to say the result is questionable at best, but I'm really glad I tried something new (and hope it sticks!) :)
Hullo Rae, it is always a joy to watch your videos I think you have branched out from just simple art videos to art entertainment! Not A Bad thing and I do still enjoy your artworks as you are an inventive and engaging person.
I thought I was hallucinating when the edits flicked between Rose Art and Kodak boxes of crayons but other people saw it too. What happened there?
I saw that too.its so confusing like what happened there?
Those crayons are definitely Kodak brand not Roseart in the box when she shows it at the beginning and in closeups. And then at the end become Roseart. Weird.
Ok that’s weird
Rae can you rewiew Amazon basics watercolour and there other new products.
Upon a closer look, it seems to me that Crayola's midnight blue (my favorite shade of blue) is slightly greener in its current form than Prang's Prussian blue
Let's all appreciate how much work Rae does to make us happy 😊
CoLOr YoUr WoRlD wiTh RosE aRt. Got me dying 9:01
OMG your art work is incredible I’m so jealous
You have great artistry. Your own set of skills sets you apart from other artists.
rae is so pretty and entertaining omgg
Prussian blue is so far my favorite blue. I work with it on my every paints !!! Its kindda my signature color
I love it too and I just found out that it's a fugitive color :(
I'm grateful to have a lot of skintone options because I draw people and I use so many colors even for a person with peach skin. Our skin contains a lot of colors we don't think about
A fun episode! (my kids were born in the 90s so I know about Rose Art). Just a note - another way to even out crayon colouring is to heat the laid down colour. Use a heat gun (the craft kind, not the industrial type!). Warm it up and it melts into a much more even layer.
Why did I think this was a Jessii vee video-

Why is everyone saying fr. 😂
😅
I love jessi vee
Banned colors from my crayon box and their replacements!
Blue balls(later changed to Cerulean)
Period red(later changed to Raspberry)
Pantone 448C(replaced by Lavender)
Prussian blue and midnight blue look like two completely different shades to me :)
The rose art box is very similar color to Crayola. You can see this, that is why they had them change the color. People whom can't read would only go by the color of the box
Thank you for posting Rae! You videos has influenced my art and has helped it! I appreciate your posts soooo mush!!!
You will always have a special place in my heart Rae Dizzle you are an amazing person 😊
Rae’s videos are always a fun time
These types of vids are very entertaining because it is amazing to see these antique type items✨
Cadmium Red Hue does not contain Cadmium. It uses PR112 which is Naphthol Red. I can't find info on the Liquitex, but suspect they use one of the Naphthol or Pyrole Reds. Brands use the term "Hue" to indicate that they are a good color match while being free of the pigment in the name (Mummy, Viridian, Cadmium, etc.)
The queen is back after three weeks she’s back
to be honest, i had assumed that they removed prussian blue due to the association with the concentration camps. the gas used left behind stains of the same colour. 6:37
....as a person of Jewish heritage I wouldn't be surprised if that was a big reason that they maybe just didn't mention
Oof…
Rae’s videos always make my day 🙌🏼💗
So the dude banned a product because of a hypothetical problem he made up in his own head that probably had no real validity...smh
Hey Rae colgratulation for 2 million subs🎉.BTW your drawing was really good😊
4:35 Come on! How hard is it to teach your kid proper use of their creative supplies. But then, I guess there are too many lax parents who don't monitor their kids or tell them NO? 😮❓p.s. Just like Emeril Lagasse used to say "pork fat rules" on his tv show in the 90s...I'd say "Crayola Rules" when it comes to kids crayon market. RoseArt was hardly a real threat for longer than a "minute." But corporates are very protective of their look, trademarks & market dominance, so I'm not surprised Crayola sued and won.
Can you do a drawing half with art supplies and the other half with makeup 👀 😮
I actually love the art result at the end! Ur so creative ❤
The colors of the world set are neat I have the color pencils
What were those Kodak crayons you showed when you were talking about rose art?
I really love your painting/drawing. :) And I love the Prussian Blue. It is a stunning color!
though rae posts once a couple weeks, the videos are always worth the wait.
It's always great when Rae posts a video ❤
1:05 me having that exact same crayola box at school:
I like Roseart. I still have my plastic box of crayons from when I was a Kid. My favorite color is Orchid!!!
That guy is such a karen fr i would never pull the kidfitti off the shelves for anyone
I really like how the cherries turned out! Do you think you can do a video on different types of markers from different brands?
I remember using a Flesh colored crayon as a kid, almost 40 years ago. I had no idea how old the some of the crayons in the bin were. Fascinating. Edit (and the Prussian Blue).
I’m early gurll
I remember the same thing. I didn't see your earlier post. but I was born in 1959 and distinctly remember Flesh still being in the crayon box. There were several colors that had traditional color names found in art like the Raw Umber or Burnt Sienna and even Lemon Yellow. Or from the color wheel like blue green or red-orange. The names of modern crayons have definitely gotten more fanciful. 😊
@@birdgirl2623 I’m early again
If the peeling chalk is bothering you, consider spraying the piece with workable fixative. I LOVE that stuff! Great for charcoal, pastels, chalk, or other messy mediums. Anyways, it's always great to see your vids.
I’m glad to know that all paints are cadmium free… I use a LOT of cadmium colors. Good to know I won’t be getting cancer or something 😂
Oddly enough, when I was a kid back in the 70s, I recall Crayola still having flesh as part of their crayons… Binney & Smith is actually based locally to me, so maybe that’s why? I don’t know, but we still had flesh when I was a kid. I remember because the name made me uncomfortable. But the color was amazing. It was perfect for drawing people. If you wanted to draw people off other races, they had other shades that were perfect for their skin tones anyway. White purple just got the creepy named crayon, that’s all.
As for the midnight vs Prussian blue… I wonder if the Prussian blue isn’t more vibrant simply because they’re older crayons. Crayola, at some point, changed their formula from when I was a kid. I noticed it when my kids started coloring (and this was 20 years ago already). Their new formula was waxy and I made comments to my husband that they now sucked like the Rose Art crayons. So how much of the difference is in pigment and how much of it is old formula crayons vs the new crappy waxy formula crayons? 🤔
Quality of the supplies aside, the fact that that piece is made with only banned supplies is art alone. Like a statement piece I'd see in a gallery
Crayola must have had a lot of those "flesh" crayons in stock, because I distinctly remember it in my crayon box (outside of school, I always had the big box with the sharpener in the back)--and this would be through the rest of the 1960s (I'm old as dirt). You are right that they did decide to change this around 1961 or so, but they didn't yank it off the market and apparently boxes of crayon with "flesh" might have been in stock at various store warehouses or something.
i think it usually takes a few years for stock to run out even after the end of production. unless there was a mass recall of the product going on.
Yeah, I was born in 1964 and coulda sworn we had "flesh" crayons when I was young.
When Rae said the Rose Art crayons smelled like Crayola, I swear I could smell them myself 🤣 but smell is our strongest sense linked to memory.
I went to primary school from 1979, and we had the huge tubs of old, battered crayons, I loved them! But we weren’t allowed to use the metallic colours or neon colours until we went up to the junior classes at age 7! 5 year old me thought this was very unfair lol, maybe that’s why I love metallic and neons today 🤣
Amazing video!!!
The cad red hue is meant to replicate the original Pigment.,but (and this is especially true in watercolors) the cad hue is made using mixture of pigments which change the properties of the paint. The hue imo is not that luminous, and can get muddy easily while mixing with different paints. Also in watercolors, cadmium paints have very very subtle granulation which is lost due to the paint being a huge.
And and and. Lastly about cadmium free paints in Winsor and Newton , they hide the paint composition. That's a really shady buisness practice and keeps us in dark. (I prefer single pigment colours usually😅)
Also, I am a HUGE fan of Prussian Blue watercolor. It's a BEAUTIFUL colour. The crayon looked like original Pigment (which is also figitive btw!) And the midnight blue looked like pthalo Blue with prolly black to cut the contrast. :)
Wow thank you so much for your input! I really appreciate you sharing this!!!! It’s good to know
@@SuperRaedizzle No probs. :)
0:28 the bug wanted the spot light lol😂
Oh you think you're stealthy huh. I saw the sneaky Pansexual Pride flag on those pencils at 9:30. 💖💛💙 🤠
Yeppie!!!
Im a cerified pan🍳
soo now i can we can have favourite colors?
congrats on hitting 2 million subscribers! you deserve it Rae!
That W&N Galeria cadmium red hue is not cadmium paint. It's paint formulated to look exactly like cadmium red, hence the "hue" in the name. Actual cadmium red is labeled as "cadmium red," without the "hue."
Which is why it looks identical to the non-cadmium paint--they are genuinely the same thing. The the difference in terminology is an advertising gimmick to make the Liquitex paint seem safer, a technique that has quite clearly worked.
Also, Prussian Blue is a standard color, pretty much every watercolor paint brand has it, as well as most colored pencils.
Love your videos 😍📸❤❤❤ I'm actually a subscriber❤
Love these Rae. Can’t wait for the next art supply history video those are my favorite! ❤
The “rose art” or my generation is crazy art. It’s horrible
I love Prussian Blue/Iron Blue in watercolor. It’s so beautiful.
The guy who wanted the kidfitti banned deffos had no friends in school 4:15
