What beautiful paintings! This is what makes your channel so great, you didn’t just review the paints, you included multiple paintings to see how they work, the consistency, drying time, etc. fantastic and interesting video!
Hi Becky, I like all three paintings. The tiger one gave me a faint hint of Lisa Frank. But mostly it is just you. Those paints look like a lot of fun.
Oh my gosh, oil paints?! Where have I been?! For some reason I didn’t realize that neon oil paints existed! That is a really cute set of colors though. Even though you mentioned struggling with the tiger at first, it actually turned out to be my favorite painting and I think the texture you got with the palette knife really took it up a notch too! Although it’s hard to pick favorites as I really love the jellyfish as well😍 I’d be left with an even bigger mess at the end I think😂 I’d probably even manage to get the paint in my hair!
Paint in the hair is definitely not unusual for me, haha! Today I had a big paint smudge on my elbow; no idea how that got there. 😂 The neons were so much fun to use, and I really want to get back into oil painting as that is really great as well. Easier than watercolours, because of the layering and blending they allow.
@@BeckyTregear oh yes it’s something I’ve always wanted to get into! I feel like I do need more studio space though. In the meantime I’ll watch videos about oil paint and live vicariously through them😂
I had no idea what you would end up being able to do with these neon paints, yet you made such fun pieces! I love the glow it gave to your galaxy painting - it ended up so pretty. The jellyfish and tiger also turned out really well. I do love the tiger, but you're right, we need sunglasses, lol! These are huge tubes of paint - it'd be a fun challenge to see how long it took to use them up; but you know me, always looking for a challenge. 😂
I'll have to find a huge canvas and palette knife them on thickly to try and use them up....or do a while bunch of neon paintings....wearing glasses! 😂
All the paintings are so beautiful, my favorite is the jellyfish because I'm sucker for anything related to marine life😅, the tiger came out amazing as well
I thought about painting an octopus as well - might do that later down the track, because more neon paintings would be fun to do! These need to dry first as I have no more room to stand paintings out, lol.
I'm from near Seattle and I saw Soundgarden play with the actual Spoonman (who inspired the song) in a small club in Seattle (an ETERNITY ago!) Unfortunately someone set off pepper spray mid set and we all had to go!! Anyway your image reminded me of the song immediately 🙂
@@BeckyTregear It was, even cut short it was an amazing memory. At the height of grunge I'd just graduated from grad school and had studied music and recording. One of my classmates recorded several of Soundgarden's albums.
Seniors Art have glass oil pallets. I have the medium size in grey and i love it. Cant do much oil painting atm as my kitchen art area makes it a bit awkward. So had to learn watercolor. Also love my holbiens they glaze beautifully i so miss using them. Love your jelly he turned out great. An undersea painting would be awesome with these paints. Tnx :)
Hi Becky, I was thrilled when you posted I've now had my surgery on my foot and can't do a thing, I can just manage to get the esential cuppa.sitting bored and in a lot of pain so your video cheered me up no end. LOVED the black hole painting
Thank you, I am so glad you've had the surgery and are ok. Aside from the recovery side of things! I hope that improves quickly too and the pain starts to abate soon. Stay well, and thank you for the update. ❤️
Loved all the paintings especially the jellyfish. As you were doing the first, it reminded me of Christmas Day 1994 when I was at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. We started walking on the black lava fields of Kilauea before dark. There were warm spots. As it got dark, we could see glowing areas in the cracks. Lava, glowing red orange, was oozing down the hillside. Every once in awhile, a small bush would catch on fire. I even got to push a stick into the lava. I think your paints, with your skill, could make an awesome nighttime erupting volcano picture. Thanks for a fun video.
Love the paintings and the review. As for the paints, they won't be for me but I can se them being used for cityscapes at night, like Las Vegas or Blackpool in the UK. Have a great weekend, Becky.
I love watching you do oil paintings! These were awesome but I'd have a very hard time thinking what to paint with them, my fave out of the 3 is the jellyfish it stands out so much on that black background and boy did that tiger turn out so well!! Amazing art Becky, your so talented! :D
Thank you! ❤ I spent quite a lot of time thinking about what to paint, but while I was sorting stuff I saw the drawing of the jellyfish and instantly knew that would have to be painted with neons.🙂
Wow, how interesting. You can get blue highlighters, but no true NEON blue actually. I know from being a nail polish enthusiast that there is supposedly no such thing as a neon blue or purple pigment (although you can make a purple from a regular blue and neon pink, so it's sort of half neon. The Opera Violet looked like this.) Seems like this is probably aimed at floral painters, and they just threw in an ultramarine and PV23 to just fill out the color wheel. In nail polishes, they usually make a "neon" blue just a very bright light blue, like a Cobalt Teal type color. (Boy I wish they put pigment info on nail polish LOL!) Now that I think about it, neon nail polishes dry notoriously fast - so fast, they are hard to apply. So I'm kind of surprised they would make them quick drying, but then again I don't formulate oil paint. I suppose you could add some linseed oil (wait, can you?) if they are drying too fast. I suspect they didn't include a white or black because this would be a "special" set you'd add into your normal oil paint collection, kind of like metallic watercolors. They probably don't envision people buying this as their first oil painting set or using it on its own.
All of that is right, haha! I just mentioned black and white because it is so unusual to not have them, but now I think about it, Paul Rubens does a regular oil set too. 😬
thanks for the review! i picked these up on amazon for a illustration im doiing in oil :) i used a neon underpainting incase i couldn't find any neon oils but im glad i found this vid.
I am hopeful they will arrive here eventually! Websites like Alibaba often stock items from Paul Rubens...I might need to do a whole lot of research to see where else they're available. But, er, it's a lazy Sunday afternoon right now! 😂
I wonder what those paints would look like if you used one of those worlds blackest paints as the base coat for the canvas. Like Black 3.0 or Musou Black. Would make for a more interesting black hole painting or any space related painting with gaseous nebula's and what not.
Great video as always! I have a question because I want to build my own watercolor palette mostly with sennelier watercolors. Would you consider the color transparent brown or warm sepia more versatile? I am asking you because I cannot decide which one is more useful. Which one is more earthy?
Both are really great colours that I use probably as much as each other, haha! I started with warm sepia in a smaller set and that has always been a very useful colour, maybe a bit darker than the transparent brown. But I love how...well, transparent the latter is, so I think you can't go wrong with either option. Maybe sepia for the darker tone. Oh, and I would say it is more earthy as well. 😊
❤ I was actually looking at these so I came to UA-cam and just put in the paint and ur video was one of the first ones to pop up 😊 🤯 have u used them since this video?
Oh yay, I love it when one of my videos is at the top of the search results, haha! I haven't actually done any oil paintings for a while! I'm back on watercolours for now but I will no doubt swing back to oils at some point....I always do. 😂
The paintings look lovely! Jellyfish is beautiful! Paul Rubens also has opera watercolors!
Thank you! Yes I saw those....curious to try them too! ❤
What beautiful paintings! This is what makes your channel so great, you didn’t just review the paints, you included multiple paintings to see how they work, the consistency, drying time, etc. fantastic and interesting video!
Thank you, I tried to be thorough with them, plus I had more than one idea for artworks so I ended up doing them all instead of trying to choose, lol.
Becky I'm always amazed at your creativity and bravery. That tiger wow!
Thank you - nothing ventured, nothing gained I guess! 😂
Hi Becky, I like all three paintings. The tiger one gave me a faint hint of Lisa Frank. But mostly it is just you. Those paints look like a lot of fun.
Thank you! Tiger was the most difficult, I had no idea what I was doing, lol.
😮🧡💜💚 I knew you’d pull it off! Tiger is Fabulous!! Love your videos!

Woah, these neon paints really dial it up. The black hole painting is amazing!
I'm really happy with how that one turned out! Finally finished it. 😂
Nice! I like the glow :) Good for you to receive these
Thank you, it was an unexpected email from them. 😊
Fabulous! The jelly fish is my favourite but they are all brilliant 😊🌸

I was so happy with how it turned out; I'd been sitting on that unfinished painting for years trying to figure out what to do with it. 😂
I really like the Jelly fish!! It is beautiful!! Wonderful choice in colours. Simple and beautiful!!
Thank you so much. ❤️

Liked seeing the review and hearing your thoughts. Very fun galaxy painting!

Jeez!! Those are huge tubes!!!
They are! 😂
OMG! I love your art with the Paul Ruben neon!, woo hoo!❤
Thank you! 😊
That looks so fun! Love your ideas on what you painted, they certainly sent them to the right artist!! 👍👍👍🎨✍👏👏😄👋🥰
Thank you so much! 😊❤️

Oooh a cityscape is a great idea! Might need to steal that one. 😂
@@BeckyTregear Please do, Becky.
😅 after long searching now i know 1. Acrilic then oil painting! Thanks!❤

Even if it's a medium I think I won't be interested in, you always make it exciting and fun. Thanks for broadening my art awareness, Becky. 👍
Thank you for watching! It definitely broadened my art awareness as well...which now includes neons, so that can't be a bad thing!
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 if any subject matter lends itself to neon, JELLYFISH ftw.. love it, thanks Becky
Thank you ☺️
They all look amazing, such fiery and glowing effects.
Thank you!
I do love neon colors. They are fantastically beautiful. But aren't the colors very prone to fading? Even in an alkyd?
I would say so, neons as far as I know will always be fugitive. It will be interesting to see if my paintings fade over time.
Thank you soooo much for reviewing these!!!
You're welcome, hope it was helpful! 😊

Omg I’m obsessed are they available in Australia yet ❤
I just checked and yes, they are on Amazon Australia now! I have added in a link in the description. Currently $40.
