I'm very much in love with all of my Paul Rubens paints. I actually purchased the Opera colors first, then the 48 metallic set, and I just got the two ShiYun Precipitating and Layering sets and I am just sooooooooooooo in love. I want to try the "normal" pan set for my regular color needs. Great painting!
Emma,, most of these paints are single pigment as well which is a good thing for mixing. They are artist quality. Also if you wash the tray with a nice clean magic eraser, you can get the paint to pool instead of grading up. These paints are good!
Those are gorgeous paints. I'm shocked how well that paper preforms as well. Nice stuff!
Thank you so much for doing this demonstration. I just purchased the 24-colir set, and I had to go to the garbage can and retrieve the paint card--lol!
Thank you for this Emma. I think that the PaulRubens pad was as good as the paints seemed to be. I have recently gone over to Baohong 100% cotton paper and at half the price of Arches, it will be my go-to from now on. I would love an update on how you continue with the Paul Rubens paints.
So inspired! I purchased this pan set about 2 months ago and have yet to try them beyond my swatch!! I enjoy your videos such! I am a "newbie" and have learned so much from your channel!! ❤❤
I have this paint set along with W&N Cotman pans and W&N professional tubes that I set up in a 24 color palette. I agree, the color selection here is fabulous. I also have a Paul Rubens block that I haven’t tried. I need to get busy! Thanks for sharing.
Love your product reviews Emma and girl, your landscapes kick butt too!
As promised Emma here is my comment: I just got this set at a real good price on Amazon for my 50th birthday present to myself and I love it. I have the White Nights as well and some cheaper tubes from Arteza just to sketch with and a few Daniel Smith to do serious stuff. Your floral came out great and I will be doing a rose for a friend soon with these paints.
I purchased this set after watching your tutorial. I love the vibrancy of the colors! The packaging was beautiful. Also, I love my Paul Rubens sketchbook! Thanks for the awesome recommendations
I switched to Paul Rubens watercolour over a year ago and haven't used anything else since!! They perform well for me and were very affordable! I have the pan sets regular and glitter/shimmer as well as the 24 tube set with the long well palette! Thanks for sharing Emma!!
Lovely paintings! I have the Windsor Cottman pans too. It might be a pain initially, but I put a mini glue dot on the bottom of each pan, and they don't move!
This set looks really nice!
I have the same watercolor box and I love it, I've already painted a lot with it 🥰 Greetings from Austria / Vienna
I have the Paul Reubens metallic set and they are really good on black paper Thank you for your tips on the paints and the paper Emma
Great demonstration of the paints and paper Emma, and thanks for the tutorials! I just love your florals! So delicate and lovely!❤️
Wow amazing tutorial thank you Dear Emma! These PR items are all available in Japan on Amazon, and it will surely be on my next to buy list! The Arches cold pressed costs too much out here. So wonderful that you patiently try out various products to help us inspiring watercolor enthusiasts. I’m struggling and enjoying the beauty of watercolors! Keep going Emma, 😍
I think Arches is really expensive everywhere. I love painting on it. But it’s doubled in price over the last few years where I am. I love how Emma Jane helps us discover and encourages us to try other options.
Omg both pieces are gorgeous! Once again thanks for the review. ❤️
I could watch you paint all day.
Lovely to see this landscape and with my favorite color, Payne's Grey! Thanks again for a good tutorial, you've grown so much since you started, I hope you realize this yourself as well.
Beautiful paintings Emma, paints and paper seem to be a big hit...thanks 👌
I follow you from my first watercolor steps. It was from you I learned my first flowers. I still paint my rose like yours. In the mean time I developed a little different style. But still following you and watch all your videos.
QUESTION: IS IT NOT POSSIBLE THAT YOU DO A FOLLOW UP TO YOUR HERBS AND SPICES SERIES? YOUR DOODLES AND YOUR MONTH FLOWERS... I mean I absorbed those videos. And when I dont have inspiration I watch them again. In the beginning I use to copy them and I painted 1000 times and more your roses. Still my favorites... Thank you for all the help you gave me without knowing... now you know... big hugs from Belgium... 😘😘😘
Love love your work!
I have this same Paul Ruben set and love it. Will try the paper next.
I bought this set after a bit of research & love it. I’m a beginner but wanted something that wouldn’t frustrate me.
Once I took your advice about good cotton paper I feel I have all I need….except a few colors like Pink! I just added a few pans down middle such as opera rose & a couple hand made that I like.
They came out with a student set which I got for my 8 & 11 year old grandkids. They wanted paints like their Nona. They seem really good too….big step up from Prang. They were in a tin pan just like mine but blue. Great price too. Thank you for your wonderful videos.
Great review! I agree, more pinks please. Your landscapes are lovely.
Thanks for another inspiring video! Love your landscapes btw :) would love to see more 🧡
I always learn something from your videos, thank you.
I have a few of his palettes, and I just love them! I have the 48 pan set, and it is sooo amazing!
Precioso, muchas gracias Emma
Your little landscapes are lovely!
I use their cotton sketch books. They are a good value for the money, and they come in a variety of sizes.
I love these paints that I purchased two years ago. I have the 48 watercolours and I also have 24 glitter. My other set is White Night’s from St. Petersburg and I actually ordered all their colors from Jackson’s online. I love both sets. Fantastic. madder is the best blue red they have and great for 🎅! Cheers
Emma, I purchased these paints when i began watercoloring for the first time in Dec. 2020. The print was sooo tiny and everything in Chinese and it took me a long time to find the English. I put them aside until two weeks ago and dove in. I loved them.
I LOVE this watercolor paint set! It was first "serious" watercolor set that I asked for when I realized I liked watercolor back last December and I've used it so much! I've recently bought Daniel Smith colors and the portable painter to put them in, which I also love, but I keep going back to Paul Reubens because I love the variety and it's still so good in my opinion
Only thing I found lacking in the set was the reds (i tried painting a realistic rose with a tutorial but the madder red seemed to fade in vibrancy as soon as it dried, so that was the only frustrating part).
Also the "Emerald Green Deep" is the same pigment for Pthalo green so some of the names are different but when you compare some of pigment numbers online you'll also find that "Sea Blue" is Pthalo Blue (Green shade), but I'll let you guys do your own research on that. Either way, love this pallete so much, just personally use other reds if I need a lot of a shade of red in a picture (personally).
I have the 24 set of paul rubens and a secondary set i made with a tin of empty half pans and my tube colors from other brands of colors i use super often. Those are the paints i take whenever i go somewhere.
Will def check these out. Thanks so much Emma!
The paper looks awesome!
It’ll be my next purchase for paint…trying Daniel Smith now!! Thank you for the inspiration
Great review, Emma. Thanks. I actually saw the Paul Rubens pan set and journal book on Amazon and I love pink and liked the packaging so I bought it, LOL. Well, to be fair, a friend received the Paul Rubens 24 pan set for Christmas and was very pleased with the colors and vibrancy so I based my purchase on her experience with the paint. I subscribe and enjoy following you!
Just ordered the 48 tin palette earlier. I also purchased their 24 tube set of professional wc for $27 sale - normal $47. Looking forward to trying them.
Now I am tempted to purchase the 2 pads you showed. Tfs
I'm so glad you got to try these paints! I started painting along with you last year and after my 14 pan Cotman set was empty I bought these as my first "professional paints" and I love them :) They are bound with ox gall so they are not vegan, but they rewet so beautifully and feel buttery to paint with. I also wish they had more pink! They were my go-to set for months before I got my M.Graham paints. Thanks for the video, Emma!
Out of all my quinacridone rose colors, the paul rubens one is actually my favorite.
Love your florals Emma❤
I love the paintings, thanks for the video. I find that pozzuoli red ochre is extremely granulating, among other colours in the set that are less granulating to varying degrees- about half the set I would say. I didn’t notice it at first either, but I’ve been using the set for a couple years now. I only warn you because I also hate granulation! I love the paints though and i use them almost exclusively. (I have cotmans too but I find them to be slightly less pigmented and a bit gummy). Anyway keep doing what you’re doing, we all love watching you paint! 💜
great painting!
Those are nice paints. I wish I had found them on prime days.
How good is this Emma 50% watercolour paper never would of thought to try it, looks great 😊
Loved seeing use the 50% cotton paper. Im always looking for a less expensive alternative to my Hahnemuhle paper for practiceing on. I might try this paper next
So... Hahnemuhle is good? Is artist quality?
@@tenientemantequilla4307 yes Hahnemuhle is artist quality if you get their 100% cotton
@@bethlillis5575
Here where I buy my materials, I had very difficult the task about finding good paper. I only find Fabriano student grade (25% cotton), and, it give the casuality that, in a store, I saw that Hahnemuhle paper. I wasn't sure about to buy it, beacuse, it was expensive. So, thank you.
I have a small set of Paul rheubans and I love them
PS If you grew up during the neon phase- wow that dated me😳😜- they have a very Bright Fun Neon set, as well. It seriously looks like you painted with highlighter markers or something! Hee! (I’m sure you can tell that I have way too many of their products.) Also, I think the neon set is listed as their Opera set, which is sooooo fun!😃💖
Emma, when are you going to get the Paul Reubens metallic palette??? I love mine! Grab some black paper, if you don’t have any, or you could even use the blue tinted paper you have, and get the Paul Reubens metallics!!! They are also colorfast!😁💖
I have Paul Rubens paper 100% watercolour block. I’m happy with it.
Interesting how you said that the surface remained moist for a decent amount of time.. I’ve been looking for paper like this because usually when I paint with pan watercolors on cotton watercolor paper (Arches) for expample the paints dry up pretty quick and I don’t like that at all.. unless of course you mixed gum Arabic with the water but I doubt it. Thanks for the review
I have the metallic set from Paul Reubens and I love it!!!
Me too! Have a video on it next week
@@EmmaLefebvre yay can’t wait for it!! I love your videos btw!!
@@aj.creativelyyours thank you so much
nice review...tx :)
Good to hear you like these I have not tried and don’t need a set. I have a question about the paper. I will have to look up price but assume it is less due to being 50% cotton. I noticed the 1st flower was washed out around the edges. Was this your desire or was it the paper. It is still beautiful and it may be because it was still wet
I do not like granulating paints either! I'm glad its not just me. ;-) Loved this video. Thank you so much.
Ok, today I was in Hobby Lobby today looking for watercolor supplies. I’m new at it so I was having trouble deciding on brushes. Another gal came into the isle turned out she was a subbie of yours. So...I didn’t get her name but she is the reason I found your channel! Yay!
Also,..lady in hobby Lobby...what was your name😊?
When you have jiggling in a tin you just use double sided tape and it works.
You make everything look so easy. I'm getting so frustrated. I have thousands of dollars worth of watercolor paints...no I'm not kidding...and I'm.about to toss them in the trash. Grrrrr!!! Why is this medium so hard for me? I want to cry.
Patience- don’t try to make everything a masterpiece.
I literally have pages of frustration painting where it’s just colors.
Also let layers fully dry. You don’t have to finish a painting in one sitting, I’ll leave mine for days.
But also not every medium is made for everyone.
My sister is fantastic with pastels and pencils but those do NOT work for me. Watercolors are my thing.
Fiber art is my mom’s thing.
Just play around with your paints and see what happens. Make some messes- just goof off- you may find your style isn’t what you expected or you might find a way to make it work for you!
I’m staring out and great price for beginner! Do you have a good tube set of paints that is cheaper but still amazing???
Only thing is, Cotman is an ASTM rated lightfastness. Are these as well? I just worry about some of the pigments. They look super saturated though...
Wow
I also enjoy these paints, although their quality isn't always consistent. Something to note though is that like any other artist grade line 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙡 of their colors are 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙛𝙖𝙨𝙩, just so nobody here is mislead, like the Madder Red here is pigment PR177 which is a know to fade when not used in mass tone.
For anyone that would like to learn more on pigments I've learned most everything I know from Kimberly Crick and Lindsay "The Frugal Crafter" her on TH-cam.
I'm shocked that you liked them better than your Cotman pan set... That's really good to know! I totally agree about the pinks too lol.. I really want to try that 50% cotton paper now too, it looks amazing! Great video, Emma! 💖Tfs
Just saw on Amazon US that cotman offers a 24 tin set for $35. Did not like their plastic 48 set either as the pans moved and fall out. Their other smaller plastic sets are ok.
I have a pack of Paul Rubens shimmery watercolor paper. I haven't tried it yet tho.
The painting is so pretty
First one to comment 🥳
Do you think these are worth the price, and would they be worth importing? In your opinion. X
Good News then, good products for a decent price
What's the difference of hot press and cold press? Also which is bumper ty
Got the answer thanks love your videos. Hope ur little boy is doing well.
They look great! Unfortunately on Amazon I find Paul Rubens watercolors twice the price of Cotman...
Well, paul rubens is artist grade, so better quality in the long run. They’re way more pigmented. I really like my paul rubens set, honestly. I’d say save up a bit and get the paul rubens set.
No indigo in this set. I need Indigo 😌
While their 50% paper is good, it's far from great. It responds _very poorly_ to masking fluid, it has a definite learning curve wrt pigment flow, and it is more prone to cauliflowering than either cellulose or 100% cotton paper. I suspect this paper is laminated rather than a true blend of cotton fibres.
They must have sent you something better because the 50% cotton rag paper that I have from them and bought from Amazon, is NOT anywhere near as nice as what you showed working with. I noticed in my bi-monthly shipment of the 3pk of 5×7 watercolor block that the quality went downward. It's like they changed manufacturers or something because my experience with their latest packs was absolutely awful. Makes me upset to be honest that my experience wasn't the same but oh well. I do however LOVE their tube paints and highly recommend them...
Her landscapes are NoT that great … meanwhile I’m still on stick people! Lol
They look better then the ones on your channel.
Ooops. I am boycotting anything chinese.. Bye bye
