Lava shark bitey and burny would make a great tee shirt, love it. I also love that paper I use it for Christmas cards every year. Thanks for the smiles Becky.
Love Lava Shark! Would LOVE to see you do more “edgy” stuff, maybe Unicorn vs Lava Shark vs Lava Octopus (Lavtopus?) Seriously, thanks for the video, it was a fun l’il adventure
Hi, Becky! Your joy on opening that pretty tin is infectious - I had a big smile, sensing that joy! The rushes in the foreground of the sunset absolutely made that painting, The second one - Lava Shark and your commentary was superb. It's so _goood_ when imagination takes over, isn't it! I agree with other comments: Lava Shark needs companions, and LavOctopus, LavaFish, Lava Seahorse, LavaCrab and their friends and relations are already standing by your shoulder waiting for you to bring them to life. I think that it creates real difficulties with all these different generations following each other fairly close upon one another, and I find myself wishing that the company would take more time in the research, process and testing stages, so that they get it right before release. How many artists are out there, buying these 'new' generations, only to discover the same colours, pigmets that they already have and have been happy with? Watching your side by side work, I saw plus and minus on both palettes, some better, some not so good - especially that red, which looked far more vibrant in the 4th than in the 5th. Finishing on a positive, though, I agree, from what I have seen on ArtTube of Paul Reubens products, that apart from the generation thing, they do seem to be good paints. 😊 Edited for typing errors.
I agree that the multi-generational thing gets very confusing! I think 4th and 5th are very similar to each other so I'll just use the 4th gen tubes to fill up any 4th or 5th gen pans that run low. Honestly how soon is that going to happen though, when I have so many paints to get through in my collection? 😂 I'm really happy with their products so far though; that paper was astonishingly great! I've already done another lava-shark sketch in one of my books so it's still on my mind. More characters are needed, for sure!
He's bitey and burny! 😂😂😂 I love it!!! also love that glitter paper. I had to get me some of it after seeing another review. can't resist the glitter 😅 I'm really tempted by the paints too, but they'll have to wait. thanks for sharing them with us, Becky ❤ lava shark doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 🎶
Heheh, I'm glad Lava Shark is so popular - he was pure randomness! That glitter paper is awesome, and I'm sure any watercolours will work well on it. 😊
@@BeckyTregear it is really pretty and it’s better used for creations that aren’t under glass. I painted a cute little floral piece on it and framed it…glitter was muted under the glass. I have used it for floral cards, butterflies, dragonflies, ladybugs. Ooooohhhh….you should do a unicorn on it!
For some reason your video didn't come up today in my recommended videos. I had to search you, as I know your schedule. Anyway letting you know just in case others have same issue and your stats are down, so you know why. YT is annoying sometimes to us creators. Even some much larger creators have been having that issue. I love the idea of glitter paper ❤ What a beautiful set of colour. They're all so bright and pretty.
I always go to the Subscription tab, as that's where all of the new videos will pop up from anyone I'm subscribed to. The recommended video page is quite unreliable. 😭 I was very happy with all of the supplies today; the paints and paper are really high quality. ❤
I love the lava shark! Yet your husband's idea is not bad either, lets give him a challenge, shall we? Unicorn with one of you using 4th, one of you using 5th gen w/c. The test paper did remind me of a volcano, so the lava shark was very welcome
Thank you - Lava Shark was an unexpected surprise. Nick refuses to do art, lol! But yes I'd like to paint a unicorn on glitter paper so that has to happen at some stage.
LAVA SHARK ! I got my ticket ready: when the premiere of the movie ? Seriously though: great art as always and if you wanna do a print out of your original character i'll be the first to buy a few. Cheers from Italy. Dan 🧡
It was so worth it to watch this video. Not for the paint, I have a no-more-paint spending stop. But the lava shark is awesome 🦈😞Anyway, thanks for the video 🥰
Omg lava shark I love him 😂💖 and thank you for comparing the paint, I did hear somewhere that the fixed the formula a bit in the newer generation but I use their ooold set and I still love them so much and they work wonderfully 🥰
Lava shark is the best! Do do do do do do do! lol Okay, the want monster finally got his way over these! I got the bundle where for less than $10 more, it also includes a 100% cotton watercolor journal or block. I let the want monster have his way because I don't have any Paul Rubens paints and of course, now I can make my own lava shark.... all proceeds will go to the Lava Shark Conservatory in your name. 🤣🦈
Lava Shark definitely needs friends! Want Monster can be very demanding at times, but I think in this case, the demands are fair. I hope you love your new watercolour goodies! I don't own any of their journals, but if the glitter paper is anything to go by, those should be great too!
@@BeckyTregear I have had a couple of the journals and they all seem to be hot press, so I don't think they would be something you would enjoy as much as I do. I love them for plein air because I do line and wash or gouache. I find hot press much better for that situation. But if it's a straight up watercolor piece, I am in agreement that cold press is the way to go, especially with anything that granulates. OMG, you had me laughing today, btw. Bitey and burney.....haha And I totally LOL'd when you said something about human error that you can't make go away. Hahaha..... That is my life!
@@BeckyTregear Tep, Google go it right, Becky! 😊I'm having to check and recheck at the moment, with AI invading the two reliable which I always use to cross-check each other if I have a doubt. (Google doesn't offer options as DeepL does so it's DeepL for the translation, Google for the cross-checking.) You'd never guess that I ruly, deepl resent AI, would you - I mean, I neve mention it in replies to you, do I!!!
I am only at nine minutes of it but the exact same thing hppend to me and I drew the exact same small arrows to show how they should be. Not the same set though. This is a lovely set for a beginner but I would prefere payne's gray instead of... err.. hmm one of the greens you could probably mix? Though, one can mix a payne's grey too, so not a big problem. Love your vids!
It's so easy to get the mixed up, haha! I love Payne's Grey too! I'm always happy to see it in a palette, but Indigo is also a decent alternative so I'm glad one of those dark shadow colours is in there. 😆
Not sure about the rest of the world, but here in the US we have a channel called SyFy that creates off the wall SciFi-Horror movies. Some of the shark related movies are Ghost shark, Sand shark, Dinoshark, Sharktopus. Sharknado is about a tornado full of sharks.
Hi Becky thanks for sharing Scientists found two species of sharks, including hammerheads, living in the submerged crater during a scientific expedition to Kavachi in 2015. Submarine plumes of superheated, acidic water, such as the one from Kavachi, usually contain particulate matter, volcanic rock fragments and sulfur. The scientists also found microbial communities thriving on the sulfurI love sharks thank you for the Amazing pic happy Swatching xxxxxx
We need the 'LAVA SHARK: He's Bitey AND Burny!' franchise. Beautiful paints and paper, and great demonstrations.
Thank you, and I think so too! Lava Shark would look awesome in your drawing style. 😆
Lava shark bitey and burny would make a great tee shirt, love it. I also love that paper I use it for Christmas cards every year. Thanks for the smiles Becky.
Thank you! I need to get some tshirts designed, haha.
I think they should say that it is 99% cotton, 1% fabulousness!
Oh yes, that's a perfect description! 😍
😂 good one
I had so much fun watching this! I love that bitey and burny lava shark 😍
Thank you 😊
Love PR paints and paper!
They're really great!
I would watch Lava Shark. Love it!
It needs to be movie! 😆
I do like the Lava Shark! Its amazing what comes out when we just let the colors run the show. Thank you for this review!
Thank you, I'm glad Lava Shark emerged from nowhere, haha.
Yes, I love my Paul Rubens paints and glitter paper!
I'm so happy to have some glitter paper because I had serious FOMO seeing your videos using it. 😂
@@BeckyTregear hahaha, right? It's so nice!
Thanks Becky, for confirming that they are the same colours/pigments. No need to buy a pretty pink palette.
That's true, but.....it's pretty pink!!! 😆
@@BeckyTregear would have gone for the black edition....
that was informative fun and sweet . thank you .
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
Love Lava Shark! Would LOVE to see you do more “edgy” stuff, maybe Unicorn vs Lava Shark vs Lava Octopus (Lavtopus?)
Seriously, thanks for the video, it was a fun l’il adventure
Thank you! I like the idea of more lava sea creatures, haha. And a unicorn needs to happen as well!

Good review, Paul Rubens have some really good quality paints.
Thank you - I'm really impressed with their products!
Gotta love Lava Shark ❤. I really like both painting ❤.
Thank you! I may need to develop Lava Shark some more; he seems to be popular already, haha.
I have that glittery paper and I love it for making cards. Especially pretty for Christmas cards.
Oh that's such a great idea; the glitter coming through would be amazing for Christmas!

Thank you! 😆
Mmmm....ya tengo muchas acuarelas... pero el rosa es tan bonito!!!.. ya hice el pedido y mi cajita esta en camino 🤗🤗🤗. Gracias por compartir.

❤ Lava Shark! 🦈 Fun review; hope Paul Rubens sends you more goodies
Thank you! I hope so too, haha.
I also want to mention the use of Naples yellow in sunset paintings, since it does not create green with blues! Maybe I am being captain obvious?
I didn't think of that - I'm trying it next time!
Lava Shark rules!
He’s bitey and burny 🤣🤣🤣
Just got my tin! Snagged it on Amazon Prime day. Thank you for your recommendation. I got the black tin. Very happy!
Oh nice! I love it when there are good deals. Black is also snazzy with the stripes. I hope you love your set! 😊
Lava shark du du du du 🎉 sing it Becky! 😁
Also, will keep Paul Reubens in mind when I need more water paints. Thanks for the review Becky. 😊
They're good value! 😄 I've had lava shark stuck in my head for days, lol.
Thank you! Lava shark doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo. 🤪🤪🤣
Gorgeous artwork!
Thank you very much! 😊
G'day! Love your paintings and first time I found you! You are really talented and so easy to follow!

First! Let’s get into iiiiit 😂.
The paper looks good and seems a reasonable price. I definitely don’t need more paint😂
I'd definitely get more of this paper if I ever run out of the stack I have here, lol. I'm considering trying out the hot press version too. 😄
Are we psychically linked? I JUST put that palette on my wishlist. 😆
Great minds think alike! 😄
Are you kidding me, it would be so much better than sharknado! Great review.
Haha thank you!
I lava the shark ❤
Ha!! 😆
I think lava octopus should be on the other paper..
@@alexandriadesrameaux7208 😂😂
Ooooh, maybe a series of lava sea creatures! 😆
@@BeckyTregear Well, why not? It’s a fantastic idea.
They will be sooo cute. Plus you can use all different art supplies . It will be a fun series.
Art whale 48ct teal colored pallet came with a matching cloth 1yr. Ago.
Good to know there’s another palette with a cloth out there, thank you! 😊
PS I made my grandkids shark shorts and matching tees with sharks in sunglasses. I called them Big Bitey and Little Bitey.
Aww how cute! ❤️
Made me laugh when you joyously said there was no white!
I'd always prefer to have an extra colour over white, in watercolour sets. Acrylics and Oils need allll the white though! 😂
Sharknado??!!! 😳
Totally a thing. The worst funny movie ever! haha
It even has a sequel! Actually I looked it up just now and there are SIX movies!!! 😂
