Today I will review the latest 5th generation of Paul Rubens YouLan Artist Watercolours, which are a set of 24 half pans in a gorgeous pink tin palette. I also received some of their 100% cotton rag watercolour paper, which has glitter in it! Are these supplies as lovely as I think they will be? Let's find out!
Video includes unboxing, swatching and paintings.

Becky, I want to personally thank you for bringing public awareness to the plight of the endangered, and ever evasive, lava shark. I’m now confident that people will do more to conserve their natural habitat…just beyond the mouth of a volcano’s edge. 🌋 🦈

Lava shark is the best! Do do do do do do do! lol Okay, the want monster finally got his way over these! I got the bundle where for less than $10 more, it also includes a 100% cotton watercolor journal or block. I let the want monster have his way because I don't have any Paul Rubens paints and of course, now I can make my own lava shark.... all proceeds will go to the Lava Shark Conservatory in your name. 🤣🦈

@BeckyTregear 6 күн бұрын

Lava Shark definitely needs friends! Want Monster can be very demanding at times, but I think in this case, the demands are fair. I hope you love your new watercolour goodies! I don't own any of their journals, but if the glitter paper is anything to go by, those should be great too!

@TracieWho 6 күн бұрын

@@BeckyTregear I have had a couple of the journals and they all seem to be hot press, so I don't think they would be something you would enjoy as much as I do. I love them for plein air because I do line and wash or gouache. I find hot press much better for that situation. But if it's a straight up watercolor piece, I am in agreement that cold press is the way to go, especially with anything that granulates. OMG, you had me laughing today, btw. Bitey and burney.....haha And I totally LOL'd when you said something about human error that you can't make go away. Hahaha..... That is my life!

For some reason your video didn't come up today in my recommended videos. I had to search you, as I know your schedule. Anyway letting you know just in case others have same issue and your stats are down, so you know why. YT is annoying sometimes to us creators. Even some much larger creators have been having that issue. I love the idea of glitter paper ❤ What a beautiful set of colour. They're all so bright and pretty.

I am only at nine minutes of it but the exact same thing hppend to me and I drew the exact same small arrows to show how they should be. Not the same set though. This is a lovely set for a beginner but I would prefere payne's gray instead of... err.. hmm one of the greens you could probably mix? Though, one can mix a payne's grey too, so not a big problem. Love your vids!
