  • I recently got ahold of an antique watercolor palette from the 1920's! Making it over 100 years old. Today I'm gonna unbox it, clean it and paint with it

      Sure! In America in the 1800s natives of all kinds were faced with a genocide called the trail of tears. They were forced to relocate from their native lands and forced into reservations. Many died in absolute terrible conditions. And through out the rest of the 1800s and even early 1900s they were forced to stop speaking their languages, Children were torn from their families.. etc.
      The native headdress is sacred and special to them, and it’s not in every native culture.
      To this day it’s estimated that 30% of native homes on reservations have either no water or electricity. they have incredibly high rates of unemployment, under reported crimes, there’s been many times through out the past century that their reservations were reduced, funding was cut and their land was sold or used for oil.
      It’s terrible, and it hurts to hear from my native friends how they feel they were and still get treated...
      My issue is these dudes who clearly were not in the minority to profit off of the most stereotyped image of a native, after all they had went through and continue to go through.. it’s absolutely a slap in the face. Even if it was 100 years ago, it doesn’t make it any less wrong.
      And even though I’m not native I can call out how wrong this is and use my platform for it. I want my native viewers to know, they matter, their culture matters and imagery like this was not not ok and never will be ok, and I will stand by them.

      @@SuperRaedizzle maybe its just me, but I don't exactly see a problem with the packaging. There seems to be nothing inherently offensive about the packaging, and from what I can tell by basic research, it is very possible that they used that imagery to pay homage to the Indians that once lived in the area of Manhattan their shop first stood in 1754.
      Granted in later years their grandchildren owned many slaves so maybe that wasn't the case, but during the 20th century we don't know their reasoning, I think there might be a deeper explanation into it, or maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

    Yeah, no.
    The _native american_ image shouldn’t make anyone feel “mad”.
    People getting themselves all frothy pissed over history, without taking the time to understand that history - is the only issue here.
    The “American Indian” image was used because it is commonly regarded that the original William Post company, was America’s first paint company.
    So Devoe and Reynolds were trying to show that it was the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American paint* by using the imagery of the *FIRST/ORIGINAL American people.*
    You can titter amongst yourselves as to how appropriate or inappropriate you think that is, by modern standards...but that’s neither here nor there.
    It was intended to be in respect to the *”first people,”* never as something insulting or degrading...
    But sadly however, that’s all people are capable of feeling when looking at history now, it seems. 😒
    In addition to the intended symbolism of the logo, Frederick Devoe actually had a deep respect for the native community and empathy for their plight.
    Having grown up with a physical disability (it’s unverified exactly WHAT the disability was- but we know it was significant in severity and left him with a lifelong, very uneven gait/limp.) he was always drawn to the *”underdog,”* or those that he felt were being ill treated- which is what sparked his affection for and eventually his later fight to protect the native populations/cultures from being eradicated, shortly before his death.
    Again, I’m sure this is viewed as something terribly exploitative today... but from his era, he was actually quite forward thinking.
    So no, I don’t think I will ever feel *”angry”* when I see that logo - and I would hope people take the time to research and study history, before simply throwing it away as *”horrible”* in the future.

    Hi Rae, these are great vids! Nice to see somebody taking an interest in traditional paints and colour pigments.
    As far as I am aware, traditional watercolours were not highly pigmented in this is to do with the common practice of applying them. The painting was built-up in layers, one transparent layer on top of another until the desired depth of colour was achieved. A watercolour painting done in this way would take quite a bit of time to complete. The white paper was used to show lightness shining through the paint layers.
    Your water colour box of paints would probably follow this tradition. They probably don't contain much honey or clycerine in the formulation to make them soft.
    These days You get TV artists who want to get a painting done in half an hour. So they soak the paper with clean water, load-up their brush with soft watercolour and liberally slosh it around with a great deal of panache, and impress everybody with their skill and magic. And this has become the way that everybody wants to paint with watercolour. Modern paints cater to this new style with highly pigmented and moist formulations. Different paint, different times.

  • @bethhelenart
    @bethhelenart 3 роки тому +35

    That is really interesting! I wonder if the first two swatches might have been "not very pigmented" because of how the binder react with the pigment over time. Especially seeing as the yellow looked more sarurated in the end. And the black, might it be a grey, like paynes grey? Seeing as the idea of watercolour is supposed to not use black and white and there was indeed no white. Also, some watercolours nowadays, especially those on paper, are dye based and therefore different because there is no pigment. These tend to be the brightest and most vibrant colours and will never granulate (not all natural/pigment watercolours do either of course). And I really hope that smell of iron was from the tin itself or pans.
    Now I want a vintage set of watercolours to play with too! I mean research of course...
    Thanks for another interesting video!

      I agree, it is definitely a matter of them being old, not just poorly pigmented, as for the black, even today most kids sets(which this one seems to be) have black and honestly I don't understand why people make such a big deal of it, I can understand were people come from with white, as in watercolor is not only almost useless (except for very niche occasions) , but sometimes when mixing it can be counter effective by making the colors to opaque and glassy, but as for black, it does not have much of a problem other then "not being expressive/joyful enough", at least that my opinion.
