Ive used the liquitex for painting papier maché and worbla for my costumes in the past. It did the job lol. Now a days, I use dollar store paint on my paintings. I wasn't doing much in the waynor paining back when I was costuming.

Bitch! If they're cheap, I buy. If they're not less than £5 for a set, they can get fucked if I'm honest. :P

@@paranoiarpincess Well if dollar store paint gets the job done then nothing wrong with that!! 😁

@@dulainey9453 Noooo!!! I used to think like that, but the difference in the quality of paint when you spend a bit more is amazing! Although the Liquitex & Golden..... meh!

@@AnthonyCrammen I guess if I were selling the pieces, I'd drag myself to the more pricier ones, but I only do them as gifts and for insta, so I'm not too fussed and no one complains so I get away with it haha

Does he look like he reads the fine print? Lol

I agree! But what a fun video! I love him ❤ ...please do more of these ... ok, with the same hur maybe yes ❤❤❤

Probably hard to find all the same pigments.

I've replied something similar, it stupid to compare paints that use different pigments. A fair test would have used paints with the same pigment.

Not to mention heavy body paints vs non AND using what looks like a thirsty watercolor round brush. This would have been a fair comparison if he chose same pigment color and used the heavy body acrylics with the medium required

@@paxmowaIt's fair to point out the error, less so to label him stupid; he was just naive to the nature of those pigments.

@@bakedbeings I never called him stupid, I said it's stupid to compare things that aren't the same and I stand by my words.

Also the opacity test is usually done with black stripes behind. Opacity isn't so much about the paint quality sometimes, rather the pigment. My suggestion would be picking a pigment (PB 15:3 for instance) and only comparing opacity between paints of that pigment. Additionally some people want transparent paints.

But the most important part is pigment load, and this is the hardest one to test. You need to mix it with a control white to see how light it gets. If the paint has a lot of pigment, it will be harder to mute using titanium white. This is where the expensive paints really shine, and is why they are so strong and vibrant. There is more pigment/colour in them!

You're ranking is pretty good, except heavy body paints get unfairly treated. I would put Winsor and Newton down a bit myself, as outside UK they are expensive compared to what you get. Amsterdam is great value. As mentioned before, deffo look at Liquitex Acrylic Gouache (it's not really Gouache), Golden Fluid, and also Senellier Abstract, which is really fast drying, great value, and has a soft body variant which is more fluid.

@@StimpyGamer Well said. Pigment load, that is the whole point👍🙂

I agree. Golden is my favorite paint to use. The texture is unrivaled and it mixes beautifully with the various golden mediums, too. You can water it down and do washes and the color just glows on the canvas. Worth every penny.

I agree. My first set of quality paint was golden and still haven't found anything better. Still haven't used up most of the paint lol, bought the heavy body ones and a medium that makes it more workable for me and fluid but still excellent coverage. Recently purchased some fluid Goldens just to try out👀 plus the black Friday sale just made me....

That Watercolor brush most likely didn’t help either.

Yes, it's exactly that. Marvellous paint. Lascaux is good as well, but I still like Golden better. Fine art silkscreen prints, painting on metal or anything else. Easy to work with because of pigment quality and concentration. Worth every penny. :)

culture hustle has lightfastness too, so it's on a level with those two and still best them.

Galeria is the best quality of the non artist grade acrylics. By a long margin. It is even obvious in this test, on the water part. The materials are far better than the cheap grades.

@@Ross_mo Absolute worst paint in this list is that crap, even their main page still list the Black 3.0 which was a total fiasco and lies, Black 3.0 is not the world blackest paint or even close. They paid a lot of influencers and artist to hype it up as just one of the many issues with their crap paint.

@@scottman572 you are the first person i have seen to say Semple's paint is crap, i'm kindof intrigued as it does seem a little too good to be true, can you elabarate on the fiasco and lies?, do you know firsthand of an influencer being paid aside from hearsay?. Genuinely curious!

@@multirevelator I think Scott Man is actually Anish Kapoor!😀

Exactly this, thank you! Came here to say the self-same thing. If I were some of these manufacturers, I'd be issuing a take-down notice, frankly! 😂🎨 Better off testing a universal colour like Burnt Umber, otherwise it's like comparing acrylics with watercolours. Once again, many in the comments section are better informed than the one making the actual video (who's meanwhile raking in all the £££ from) dishing out a load of muppetry. 🙄 Sometimes I even wonder if they do this on purpose, simply to generate loads of comments - which YT's algorithm then classes as 'engagement' - which gets them on the front page. What a time to be alive...

@@221b-Maker-Street I wouldn't usually reply to such an arsey comment but you've caught me at a lovely time. A review is exactly that, I tested paint to see which one I liked the most, I still stand by my personal decision. You also refer to a 'universal colour', every brand uses different shades/names/formulas, and although I tried my best to get the same 'red' colour it was almost impossible based on the different companies. You are mixing up fact with opinion, you might loveeeeeee a certain paint, doesn't mean I will and vise versa. I also made very little money from this video not that that's any of your buisness. And if you think leaving comments etc gets my video shown to people and you're not happy about it, why leave one? I'd prefer you didn't. Next time take your shitty comment and shove it up your arse. Cheers!

@@AnthonyCrammen that was criticism, not hate- they are just informing you, A hate comments you be calling you names saying “this video sucks I can’t stand this guy!” Or something like that. This is generally a person wanting to help.

@@AnthonyCrammen maybe learn to take actual criticism, with out thinking you are being attacked.

@@Flicker_thefo0x This person edited their original comment that they left which was incredibly arsey and bitchy which is why I responded, I can take criticism when it is constructive, the earlier comment that they left was not.

🤤🤤 Not weird at all Helen! I get it! 😁😁

Ah that's a good tip! Stuart got in touch on Twitter and said he's developed a new top for the paints, so we shouldn't have that issue in the near future 😁😁

This is handy to know. I felt seen when it was mentioned cos I’ve been there with my stiff hands and a jar opener with ink bottles before.

Oh no problem! You could struggle with the bottles, as I do, and I don't have poorly hands so I can imagine it would even harder for people with arthritis.

(This is a might long, so if you don't want to read it all, I totally understand. It's also pretty irrelevant once I get into the enumeration. TL;DR: I'm a hairy wizard) @@AnthonyCrammen it can be difficult at times. Ironically, throughout my life, amongst my family and I, I have notoriously had a ridiculously strong grip, to the point where my dad would come.to his 9 or so year old daughter, and ask her to open the pickle jar. I am the only woman in my house of 3, am the only one who is physically disabled, and still I have both the mens (a full grown one and an 11 year old) bring me pickle and jam jars to open when they can't get them. Now a days, however, I'm not as reliable as I used to be. I have a lot of swelling in my hands and I do get days where they just hurt too much, or are too swollen to open anything. So your heads up is still very helpful. Bit of a side note, other than opening jars, I have a few other uncanny talents i often get bothered to preform. And I don't mean the obvious that all us artsy folk get (make me a picture, can you help me paint my ______, can you draw my ________, do I really have to pay you for _______, make me a coooostuuuuume, etc.) I am the one that: 1. Fixes things: I can sew, knit, paint, and have a billion different kinds of glue, adhesives, tape, gesso, paint, threads, fabrics etc. I also am really good at getting things put back how they originally were. I was always really popular with the bosses at l the retail jobs where I worked because of it. I would get people telling me they've never seen anything like it and I've actually had people crowd me over it. No one believed it was possible, but the fan went back into the box. I have been called a witch on more than one occasion over it haha. 2. Finds things: I quite often say "I'm the one who finds things." I shit you not, I have this knack of just kinda knowing where things are. Now when I try to show this uncanny talent off, I often end up.jinxing myself, *however* I absolutely did find my parents' keys once, from an over 2 HOUR DRIVE away. My dad called me as a panicked last stitch effort to find his car keys. I had been to their house earlier that week, and they wondered if I had seen him put them somewhere they hadn't thought of. I told him "they're in the crack between your beds." (Instead of a big bed, my late parents got my grandparents' bed(s) which were actually, really two fancy remote controlled hospital type beds pushed up beside one another in a custom made bedframe.) My dad told me he had already looked there. I told him to look again. They couldn't believe it. I think that one creeped them out a little. It's about a decade or so later and I sometimes say "I find things. It's what I do." 3.Untangle things: string, thread, yarn, chain, necklaces, bracelets, anklets, cords, slinkys... if you can tangle it, I, for whatever reason, can untangle it. I maintain that all of this is because I have an inhuman amout of patience for tedium. Most tasks where people would havr given up long ago, I seem to just keep trying. Well except for.the finding stuff. I can't explain that... nor the jars. Lol hope.you got a kick out of that. If you did read to the end, well thanks man! ♡♡

It sounds like you have a sixth sense when it comes to finding stuff! 😅 And they always say patience is a virtue to that's good! It's one thing I completely lack! 😂😂 I bet it is tough suffering with a disability but the fact that you still try and make things work is important! Just because you struggle with certain things doesn't mean you can't kick someone's arse at other things who don't have a disability! 😁 And also Stuart got in touch on Twitter and said he's developing a new lid for the bottles, so hopefully it'll make opening them easier for people who do struggle! 😊😊

@@AnthonyCrammen that's so awesome! Yeah, I've been told I'm psychic. It's weird because I'm very science and logic based, but I have many times just known things I couldn't possibly have known. I also have a natural talent for cold reading. I give people eerily accurate Tarot card readings too.

I hear you on the artritis.... i dip the lid in boiling hot kettle water then turn the cap.

Ah thanks Mileivis! 😁😁 Glad you enjoyed it!!

Ah no problem Jennifer! 😊 You have a good week too! 😁😁

Ah no problem! Glad you enjoyed it! 😊😊

Ah no problem Oleg! Glad I could help! And happy painting! 😊😊

Yes, i agree i use only highest quality canva and paint acrylic paint, liquitex is good but golden is a little bit better, the quality of pigments they use is mayby the best aviable, and they put the maximum in the tube, the binder they is highest quality too

It’s a good trick though isn’t it? Imagine the rage of clients when their million dollar paintings completely disintegrate in 100 years. Of course, by that time, you’ll be safe and secure in shady oaks cemetery.

I wasn't in love with the Golden, it was quite nice with some water, just really expensive! Oh I'll have to have a look at those brands at some point! 😁😁

@@AnthonyCrammen Reeves is economical but can be quite transparent. I learnt a tip from superraedizzle that if you mix transparent paint with some clear gesso it makes it opaque. So I do that a lot.

Oh thanks for the tip Helen! 😁😁

Well I think you'll find that I did just compare paints like this 😅 Chill out, it's just a bit of fun!

Oh they're really good paints! Nicest acrylic I've used so far anyway! Haha 😂😂 Guess I'll have to think of something red to paint!

Ah no problem! 😊

Okay, I hate to comment on my own comment, but yeah, in watching more of the video... you really need to compare pigment to pigment. I’m certainly not an expert in pigments or in the production side of paints, but I’ve always heard that different pigments (even in the same color groups) vary in natural levels of opacity or how they interact with light. Just because one is more translucent than another, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a lower quality. It could be somewhat due to the nature of the pigment(s) involved. It makes it harder to use a side by side comparison of different colors as a determination of quality. Awesome video man! I can’t wait to try the Ara paint and that other one you really like. I don’t think I’ve seen them for sale anywhere here before.

Ah glad you enjoyed it 😊😆

The virtual mixer is a GameChanger for me. Helps so much!

@@AudreaRobbins excellent tool! That contribute to make golden unic

I couldn't buy the paints in exactly the same colour as some brands don't sell the same colours. I also did try to buy all paints that were opaque, but yeah that's why it's an unofficial official paint test, just a bit of fun and based on how I felt 🙂

@@AnthonyCrammen when I was introduced to the color pigment information, *L* I went through all my paints. I found that if left to my own devices.. I would gravitate to a specific color, and didn't realize, sad to say, this translated into all paint media, but threads too.*L* I love PV 19 and it has so many different names. it's dizzying. and since it's a quinacridone the nature of it has a wide range, of intensities and leans (warm or cool) . amazing what they can do with a chemical compound I flat out love color. glad you do too, you do make it entertaining. I didn't mean to come across sideways.. *L*

I get that! For me it was just a fun little paint test to see which 'red' acrylic paint I liked the most. I could of gone into pigment, lightfastness and all the other details but the video would be 2 hours long and take me days to make 😂😂

Yes. I felt Golden was a bit unfairly dinged for the high price chosing the most expensive, genuine Cadmium pigment. Their Pyrrole Red is my favourite and is a bit cheaper. Their Cadmium Red Hue and the Primary Magenta are considerably cheaper and would have made a better comparison. Reds in general are hard to compare. Loads of different pigments and pigment mixes, and the naming schemes different companies use are just a mess. And it doesn't help that the two historically most well known pigments, Rose Madder/Alizarin and Cadmium are not really suitable to modern paints. The first because it isn't that lightfast, and the second because it is toxic (and expensive). So for both you usually get a mix of several pigments that try to recreate either the properties OR the hue of the original one. Cadmium you can still get (expensive) but while it is very covering, it isn't a very nice mixer, tends to make muted mixes. For coverage pyrroles and various mixes are good (things labeled "primary whatever" are usually good for that), and for mixing the very transparent Quinacridones are the "cleanest".

@@DinksDinersArtbox Heheh - wrote my comment before reading this, and I was on the verge of mentioning PV 19 wrt best allround red mixer. Probably the best tool for trying to get those Alizarin properties. But Pyrrole Red, PR 254, has that extra redness and coverage to it.

Haha thanks Claire! 😂😁😁

Thanks Anne. I used Jacksons for my prices but used their RRP to get the prices per 100ml so it might be a bit off and yeah you can of course get them cheaper if you hunt around, it would just take me ages to find the best price for every paint I used 😅😅

Oh I've never heard of Chromacryl! Might have to check it out at somepoint! Yeah same 😂 Although sometimes spending a little more is worth it! 😁

I dunno man I don't like the consistency.

No problem Tony! 🙂

😂😂 Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I think some of them work way better with water!

Do you recommend winsor and newton? Have a few om order and worried I made a bad choice.

Ah no problem! 😊😊

Ah thanks Carl! I don't often make the same video over but I'll consider it, it can just be difficult to buy specific colours from different brands, I know I struggled getting the same shade of reds for this one 😅😅
