Thanks for watching and for the comment!

That it does! Thanks for watching :)

Rublev is one of my favorite brands! Hope you can try some :) Thanks for watching!

Great idea! I can do a review video on Blue Ridge. I don't use them as much as I used to but they are good paints. Thanks for watching!

@@walcottfineart5088 I would love to see that video! I liked the vid where you mentioned them as a fine paint. Now I need a pro to break it down:) Happy new year. Thanks Jason...so many of us rely on you.

Great idea and thanks for watching! :)

It's been awhile since I made this video but I think it was Gamblin, although I'm not 100% sure. Thanks for watching! :)

@@walcottfineart5088 thanks!! Funny, that's exactly how I felt about their trans ox yellow! Do you happen to have the Rembrandt trans ox red? If so, I'd love to know your thoughts about how it differs from whatever other brands you have. I've noticed many artists who follow in the vein of Schmid swear by specifically using Rembrandt Trans ox red and ultramarine blue deep, so I've always been curious why that is. I have a good bit of Rembrandt, but apart from a couple colors I'm underwhelmed by it's pigment load and uniform texture. I have to say, I'm definitely intrigued to pick up Rublev's next time around.

@@katetopps4706 I did try the Rembrandt Trans. Oxide Red once after hearing all those great things too! I honestly wasn't that impressed. It seemed like it wasn't very strong and i had to use a lot of it to get good color saturation. I would much prefer the Gamblin or Rublev color. Thanks again for all your great questions! :)

I totally spaced on that! LOL I will put it in now. Thanks for watching! www.naturalpigments.com/oil-painting/paints.html

Too good? Why you say that. Everyone deserves to use some really nice paint

I agree with Acacia! :) Give the Rublev earth colors a try and see how you like them. Thanks for watching!

Now I want them too! How do they compare to transparend oxide willamsburg colors? Or MH quancradome gold and oxid red

@@paintkoziej6812 The Rublev Transparent Iron Oxide Red is a beautiful color. It's very close to the Willimasburg and Harding, but maybe slightly higher in tinting strength and a bit more saturated. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Neomegilp is a synthetic alkyd based medium whereas the Rublev Italian Varnish is made from traditional materials. So it does contina real turpentine. Maimeri makes a good damar varnish that I like. Have fun! :)

@@walcottfineart5088 Thank you! Will put that on the list and avoid the Neomeglip- and Maimeri will be the varnish- thanks again so much! Love your painting style and lessons!

Yes, transparent colors are essiential to achiving certain effects. For traditional style painting, like I work in you want to keep the darks/shadows thin and transparent (even though they're dark) and the light colors thick and opaque. The specific colors aren't important but I would have at least one warm dark and one cool dark. Like a transparent brown and Ultramarine. Thanks for watching!

Yes, technically these earth colors are "hues" and this is the case with most manufacturers since many of the original deposits that produced the genuine ochres and iron oxides are almost depleted at this point. There's has been some debate about whether they should be labeled as "hues" or not since the chemical composition of the pigment is identical to the natural stuff, it's just made in a factory instead of the ground. I think Rublev wants to expand their line by offering the synthetic earth tones to help artists round out their palettes. Thanks for watching! :)

@@walcottfineart5088 oh that's unfortunate that the natural supply is almost gone. Ty for the info

Thanks for watching! Some earth colors are naturally opaque like regular Yellow Ochrem and these transparent versions are newer modern types. It's a good idea for a video though so I will keep it in mind. Thanks for watching! :)

It was Winsor & Newton Flake White Hue, which is really a Titanium White. Thanks for watching!

Yes, they are expensive, but they make some colors you just can't get anywhere else. I love them too! Thanks for watching :)
