Paul Rubens has developed another
Paul Rubens has developed another set of artists' watercolors for us to enjoy, this is called the "Youlan series" artist watercolor palette and it says 5th Generation Artists Solid Watercolor on the box. This was sent to me for free to review. The palette is packaged in a screen-printed black and gold (or pink and gold)tin wrapped in a black cloth in a giftable sturdy box. You can find it here: https://amzn.to/43qGbHw
Pros:
Price
Nice color selection (good mixing colors and some unique add ons)
Contains a couple granulating colors
Contains colbalt and cadium colors (this may be a negative for some)
Beautiful packaging
Colors glaze well
Colors mix well
Some colors lift and some stain just as I would expect from a professional quality brand
Pigment and lightfast info included
Swatch card with pigment info included
Cons:
I find the browns disappointing
Bottom line: These remind me the most of the 4th generation artists' tube paints from Paul Rubens: https://amzn.to/3x85PEH as they seem to be milled very similarly to those (and not as similar to the 4th gen pans.) I really enjoy the Paul Rubens watercolors, as I have mentioned in previous reviews I have been sent some from the brand to review but I have also purchased some with my own money because I think they are one of the best values going in watercolor. I think this set and the 4th generation tube sets are the sheerest offering of the Paul Rubens Pro range but in terms of quality they are all excellent and I recommend choosing the set with the colors you prefer the most. Paul rubens also has some eastern and student ranges so for clarity I will list the sets I recommend for a profession watercolor below.
5th generation pan set (reviewed today) https://amzn.to/3PsksJn
4th Generation Tube set: https://amzn.to/3x85PEH
Original half pan set: https://amzn.to/3PpLWiJ There are 2 24 sets that when combined equal the colors in the 48 set. There are also 12 color sets available and metallics that are very nice.
*I didn't like the 4th generation half pans as much as the others but they are still good paint: https://amzn.to/3INhriZ
