I did in fact fall asleep to this last night but I always come back and watch the end the next day! I only wish you'd shown what you did in the ends of those sketchbooks!

My former mother-in-law is 103 and mentally sharp. She is a master quilter. She says she looks forward to each new day. She is not vegetarian but does not eat junk food at all. I myself am vegetarian and hope it helps me live awhile longer. I am 74. I am mainly a card maker, but I love all art. I love all things cute, and pretty and nice designs like Polish pottery and Talavera pottery, watercolor paints in cute tins, fun pencil cups etc. LOL.

I’m late to the party, but I love when you teach a new technique that I’ve never seen before. You always explain it simply and provide a good example that we can try. Not some ridiculous explanation and crazy hard example. I always have fun learning from you. Thank you!

Great video but I wish you’d talk a bit slower - I’d like to know what brand the travel brushes are and despite replaying that bit just can’t make out what you’re saying! Best from the UK

Do you know if Noodlers waterproof ink will work in it?

Do you know if they will come out with a pastel only paint set? Its sometimes nice to have those convenience colors.

Love to see the new things, but I don’t need them. :)

fingers crossed they get into serious granulating colors next... just in case they are listening. I know they have those muted colors ones in those round boxes in the artist range, but I would love a fairly lightfast extreme granulating palette.

Thank you for swatching out this new palette! I have had the original 52 set in my amazon wishlist for a while, but trying to keep the 'want monster' at bay as i reallllyyy don't need them haha. This one is actually more tempting since, I agree, there was an overkill on pastels in the original.

Lindsay, how about playing the "What if ... " game for a few minutes each day to combat your feelings about your work just now? tn this case, the "What if" game involves taking a random art supply and playing with it, asking yourself, "I wonder what will happen if I do this ./ that random thing with this product?" You've got a lot of things in your stash which you won't have used for a long time, so using those would be a good choice? There's no pressure to make something 'perfect. It's about doing something completely random, just for the sake of curiosity. Edmund Burke said, "The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity." and I know you have a healthily inquiring mind.. ( Quote from _"The Sublime and Beautiful in 1757, Edmund Burke"_ ) _"Children are naturally curious about the world around them. In evolutionary terms, this makes survival sense; we all need to learn what is a friend or a foe, foods that can or can’t be eaten, as well as understanding the limits we can individually reach._ _"For some children the curiosity fades: not because they lose interest, but because there is no one to answer the questions, or encourage that spark of wonder within. But there are those who do inspire and stimulate that curiosity so that it continues to grow. This is where the beautiful curiosity within is most special; where it is passionately shared and encouraged."_ From a Museum and Heritage article on "The beauty of curiosity." 5th December 2014. Worth taking a look at the whole article, I think, and applying it to the "What if.." game? I hope you both have a lovely time at the wedding, and that your anniversary visit to _Shakespeare Under The Stars_ is a truly magical experience!

Hi Lindsay. I love your reviews on paints, particularly these student and introductory sets. But I'm wondering about something similar for oils. I have some that I bought when a supply shop closed but I've been hesitant to try them, as my wheelhouse is acrylics. I was cleaning up yesterday and came across a VERY cheap set of Battat oils that had come in a Michael's French easel. So with nothing to lose I swatched them out and picked out a few brushes and followed a tutorial. It was fun and worked on, but I can find nothing about Battat paints. I know they do acrylic and watercolour too.

My fave is the smiley face 🙂

Nice set! I never use pastels either. I love watching your reviews. I trust you to be honest. Thanks!

ooooh that's a big palette!! 🥰

How do these compare with Van Gogh? Wondering which one to buy as a beginner.

Morning Lindsay, I love the Paul Rubens Range. My fav sketchbook is the pink Paul Ruben's one and he has them in different sizes too (also in black but black anything rarely enters my home! lol) x I'm going to have to disagree with u on not liking the deeper tins...…I love them...….. I take ALL the inserts out and then I can put half pans and full pans on both sides of the tin and it closes perfectly with the little clasp. (I off course add magnets to the pans) This new set is defo an upgrade with the proper pans, I will defo purchase when I'm getting low on three quarters of the pan colours. Thank u for a fab review and the comparison's, u always go in depth for us and it so appreciated X Love Alli (UK) XXX

I am a beginner. Would you recommend one set over the other? I have done acrylics and pastels so have plenty of those supplies! Lol. Thanks for your info. Can't wait to get brave enough to do your teachable classes I bought.

I must say, this is an upgrade! First off, the paint is actually in half pans, not poured into tiny metal tins and fitted into ice-cube-tray-like plastic . The color selection is much nicer, too, besides a few redundant colors. I sort of raised my eyebrows at another Meiliang palette, but i actually really support this upgrade.

Yes you do like to draw garlic 🧄no onions, no leeks, no shallots, no other veggies, just garlic 🙂 Edit: whoops I did see one onion! Also, Miranda Watson loves accordion books for speed paintings! Cause you can go on without it having to dry.

I'm kind of a watercolor paper snob and I don't love the Strathmore cellulose paper, but I love the 100% cotton (unsized) Mixed Media Visual Journals. They are great for gouache and even watercolor if you don't want to blend your edges out (a stylistic choice, that I really love). Other media too. I usually think Mixed Media paper means "bad for everything," but not that one!

I watched your entire swatching and review, and I really enjoyed it. Btw, I emailed Lightwish, who confirms that the newest of these sets does not contain oxgall, so yay for us vegetarians.

I need to watch the rest with coffee in the morning ☺️ This is awesome.

I like the color palette. I am sticking with my original set because I will be found someday in the future buried under tubes and pans of paint! Hahahahaha!

All your videos are worth watching - 🙏

Have you ever compaired the preety excellent to the 5th gen paul rubens? Like you did with the qor tubes and pans? Might be nice to see if its worth saving up for the higher quality or not.

I do love the pan and tray set up in this set. It's kind of like the Phoenix 48 pan set up. I do wish the top lid was more like the 36 tray set-up though.

Hahah, I'm the one always teasing Paul Rubens for their pigment info errors. I think it's kind of endearing in a weird way, and I actually respect & appreciate them for disclosing their soft & oil pastel pigments, and using good lightfast ones! And you're right, their English is a lot better than my Chinese!!! I love PR176... Novoperm Carmine. Looks like great updates to the set.

Hullo Lindsay, I have no plans to purchase these paints, yet I am enjoying this relaxing video! I have recommended the Art Whale watercolor paints from a different video of yours, at $1.66 a tube that price is very hard to beat! I am thinking that in this set the multiple colors being so close to one another is for when you use up one, you can still use this set as the colors are so similar, Ex: that you can just use the purple lake after the mauve is gone. I am watching so you get the time watched for your channel and not necessarily for purchasing information.

I just feel so sad whenever I see Paul Rubens products used so liberally because they cost less. Affordability when it comes to chinese companies comes with a very hefty price, in the end. There are so many genuine european excellent quality pastels to choose from. More expensive, yes, but i just have less, or wait for sales.

Thank you for the review. I’m going on vacation and didn’t want to take my professional/artist grade paints with me. I was afraid of losing them. I ordered from your like. Hope that helps you some. Happy 4th of July 🎉🎉🎉

I got the 48 set just for the tin😅

Is anyone else drooling just over the cases? Forget the paint, I have way too much paint. But these cases are gorgeous!

I recently swatched a new Da Vinci set and decided to get a magnifying glass. Even with glasses, the printing on the labels was ridiculously small!

The dice are really cool. Love the looks of the huge Inktense blocks but know I would only end up with a mess. You are so talented and gifted. You make everything seem so fun .

How funny! Your least favorite design was my MOST favorite --- the poppies! Great job and very clever, Lindsay! Love 'em. :) 🤩🙃

That pen in the new set doesn't want to stay put, does it? 😂

All those really old people usually have a drink every day, lol

I don't need more paints right now but honestly these videos are like paint zen for the brain. Still worth a listen to, so as not to go coo-coo-bananas during the day job 😂 I love it!

The set looks nice, and I have the 24 set from 2020 which are also great. This set here looks a little light on the greens, would like to see more. But I’m waiting to see these maybe go on sale with a coupon discount or see what they do for Prime day.

My head is spinning😳

Thank you. Fun.

I must say, I like that the color order is better this time. They probably listened to reviews and customers.

🙂

I have several pro grade palettes, I don't paint much anymore (I sew more now) but I am still SO TEMPTED to get the 32 set just cause it's cute and great value 😂

Hi, Lindsay! Bye, Lindsay. I have enough paint. Love you, though 🤗. Just to let you know I actually pressed the play button.

I still use the original paints I bought after watching your video 😄good set

I totally agree with u on the tin, not a fan of it. But the watercolors are great! I wonder how long before the tubes to this set will come out....

Thanks Lindsay. I think i may have given away my replacement 36 Pretty Excellent to a curious young artist. I'll have to check my tote of pallets. Yup tote.😁 So i may want to replace it. If there is room in the tote😅

Hi Lyndsay! Thank you! I bought the 52-set with the blue box and just swatched them. I really like them. I see them as being pretty opaque, is that just me or do you or anyone else see them that way? Thanks!

I love the Pretty Excellent set; I have an older one and the colors are lovely. I think it's great that they are coming in half pans now. I have to check you channel to see if you've compared the Mei Liang with the actual Paul Rubens; I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the new Paul Rubens if I already have the Mei Liang?
