    When you got the magnet out my jaw dropped. That's so cool! The pale colors could be named after me, too. That's a really pretty tin. I'm amazed how you recognize the similarities and numbers, but I suppose that just comes from using them so much for so long. The final painting is very pretty, too. Thanks for the great review.

This is when your large collection pays off: you always have something to compare to. No guilt about the abundance. It's part of your research 😂. Hope your dad is recovering well!

    Lindsay, I happened to have my Pretty Excellent swatch sheet next to me as you were going through these swatches. I started reading the pigment codes on the greens as you were telling them to us. Perfect matches every time. Definitely look like Pretty Excellent paint to me! It might be nice to have this pretty box AND a smaller set without the metallic paints included.
    Oh, and we're all so very pale in these Kansas environs too, so I agree @CautionArtistsPlay. This is one Greek who has become incredibly pale these days & all year around.

    Do you or have you made your own watercolours? Your knowledge about these is fascinating. I love watching you swatch....very calming and as I said fascinating 😌 😁 yes it did look like a paynes grey. I actually went back to rewatch because I was typing at the time and was surprised when you said indigo because I had assumed it was paynes grey lol
    What's going on with the magnet? 😮 so there's metal in the paint right? Which colours would you do that with...just that black or are there others? Mind blown right now 🤯😂
    The gamboge in the rainbow tin, to me, seemed to dry to a disappointing "flatness" I love gamboge usually because of the mix of yellow and brownish tones it dries into (I may have that completely wrong because I don't have any knowledge about these things) but yeah the yellow gamboge in, I think, my winsor and newton cotman set is gorgeous. One of my favourites.

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Mars black will move with a magnet. Look for pbk11 pigment. The pigments for gamboge have changed over the years as they have been discontinued. Every brand has a slightly different version or a warm yellow. With PR sometimes names get mixed up in translation.

    Thank you for this. The tin is definitely very pretty, the colours look nice too. By the way, if you want to try an Eastern European brand with great earth colours, I recommend Roman Szmal, they have really nice earth shades, and a huge variety. The prices used to be amazing, but they doubled in the past two years, still it’s relatively good value.

    Hmmmm, I'd advise against getting too attached to that crimson, since PR 206 was discontinued a couple of years ago. That caused a bit of a kerfuffle because a LOT of manufacturers were using it in their Quin Gold mixes and had to reformulate YET AGAIN after both PO 49 and PO 48 were discontinued.

    • @thefrugalcrafter
      @thefrugalcrafter  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Hullo Lindsay, I almost passed this video bye. I am so tired of the Paul Rubens watercolors as you cannot buy replacement paint! Now, I have purchased a set because of the tin! My wife exclaimed that she would LOVE to have a pink tin palette! So I purchased the 24 half pan set and the first thing I did was remove the paints and inserted a grand set of DaVinci of California Paints! I believe the DaVinci Paints are a superior paint to the Rubens and I am done buying student grade or “fake” professional grade paints! I have liked and of course here is your comment with time watched, to help with the algorithm, here’s hoping I have helped you and your channel boost your videos! This one as well as your other videos! You your Dad with the rest of the family are in our prayers and good thoughts too!

    It's interesting that once again, this set says it uses discontinued PR206 for the (permanent) Alizarin, and long-discontinued PO49 (the original quinacradone gold) for several mixes. PR88 is also very rare and DaVinci is the only other company I know of that uses it in mixes. Winsor & Newton did used to use a unique hue of PR206 for their permanent Alizarin, but changed it fairly recently. Rubens may still have old stock, and it's quite interesting it's the same hue as W&N's. But I honestly question the PO49.
