This was a useful introduction to your paint, showcasing someone very knowledgeable and articulate, who can quickly demo important pigments and special characteristics. I didn’t watch the review, but have watched some of your livestreams which were less time effective for busy people. Please bring her back to talk more about the paint!
OH SHIT I WAS NOTICED aaaa (EDIT) Now that I've stopped screaming, I misunderstood what 'granular' meant in the context of oil paint. I have no art education, and others told me afterwards that it meant something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I'm something of an idiot :D I'm just playing with paint and going from a Complete Layman's point of view. Please forgive me, I am a baby, but also I loved the smoothness of the Tusc and Pine and probably will buy more.
Hey there! We loved seeing your review and are so happy you enjoyed Tusc & Pine Oil Paints! It just seemed like there might have been a little mix-up with the word "granular" in the context of oil paint performance-art terms can definitely be confusing. We're super excited about the Tusc & Pine line and absolutely love any excuse to chat about it and show off what it can do! Keep playing, learning, and creating. We can’t wait to see what you make next! 🎨💖🖌 And remember, we’re always here to chat and share more about our products. 😊
I think it's still a good review because it allowed for all of us to be educated on what granulating meant. I'm certainly learning about what granulating pigments are and what granulating paint is.
Reviews are helpful by showing how a paint is acting. Hate it or love it is very subjective to what the painter needs. Ive been painting for 40 years and typically use 4 different brands to get 4 different effects. We use to have to purchase and try out to find out. Now, with reviews we can get an idea if that color in that brand is something we need. The market went to super fluffy oils in general. It's what the masses were asking for. (they call them buttery) I started purchasing my own pigments and making my own without extenders or any other fillers, getting away from paint only made with refined linseed and using more walnut to better paint wet into wet a day or 2 later. Just more versatile where I can have a small tube of faster drying linseed for composition layers, some 2nd layers and have slower drying walnut for top layers. I still purchase tube paint for specific color that I need. I lean more towards stiffer paints like New Holland vs fluffy. The fluffy wet paints where killing my effects while trying to drag drier raw color for an effect. When I need fluffy wet, simply add a drop or 2 of oil and shake it up with my knife. I think painters today are more grab and go, hence the wet butter they need. Paint has a shelf life, hence the reason for extenders in many purchased tubes. Making my own without extenders necessitates using the small tubes of paint I make within 1 year, depending on organic vs inorganic pigment. With colors used less often, it makes more sense to purchase ready made paint with extenders. The down side of making my own is time. The upside is more in-depth learning about the many different pigments and why they act in different ways. Yet it's not for everyone, not even most. I build my own canvass stretchers and stretch my own also. There's a whole feel of having control and knowing it's all you from start to finish. That's psychological and not for most. It first seemed odd to me that paint producers were advertising their products on YT. Yet it makes great since as a trade off for folks learning more about how different paints work for different uses. Again, paint is very subjective, especially while dealing with oils. Sticking with 1 or 2 reasonably priced brands can be very helpful and much less confusing. Being a pricy Old Holland or MH snob is also subjective. Some folks develop a trust in certain brands for their particular same repeated style of art. My work is across many styles but mostly figurative abstract and impressionist landscape. I revert to soft pastel for portrait and still life for its richness of emotions vs more plastic look of paint. IMO, for whatever budget of tools & materials, you should try out different brands of paints, stick with them for awhile and try others. If they are different, it's for a reason.

the reflection of light on the Tusc & Pine oil puts it at a disadvantage because the undertone appears dull or whitish instead of showing off a rich warm tone. 3:40
This is how we create dialogue Cally. You gave Heather the perfect platform to illustrate the concept behind these oils. We are often taught by artists who were themselves taught by an artist. We all use materials differently and find different ways to apply them to get "our" desired effect - and not necessarily how they were intended to be used. Rarely are we treated to the knowledge Heather has to how these oils were developed and intended to be used. This is very insightful.
The angle of the shot is terrible because the reflected light takes away saturation and vividness from the colors! They look wonderful when your arm suddenly casts a shadow on them.
Granular means consisting of small grains or particles. If it doesn’t have that maybe don’t call it granular. I personally wouldn’t want my pigments granular. Your definition is confusing, maybe change it.
You don't even let most people write product reviews in the first place. I asked your company once how to write a review, and you actually told me that you send select people an INVITATION to submit a review for a specific product, rather than letting buyers submit reviews freely. So basically, I just can't really depend on Jerry's product reviews because I know they're not representative of your general customer base's experience.

@@MariaRevArt I majored in English. I took "Granulated" to mean, well, having granules. Chunky! Thick! XD I was wrong.
@@CallyKariShokka And that's totally understandable. Now we both learned the difference.

Keep going guys, fight for your brand!

Love that! Some swear by it, some swear at it! I guess it's the same about reviews ;-)
Always! 😀
Much appreciated, I was wondering about the granulation of oil paint. I think I have a friend who would really like these.
You're very welcome! We hope your friend loves them! 😀
👏 Nicely explained.
Thanks!
Will try out your product soon!
We think you'll love it!
Thank you, nicely explained.
Thank you! 😀

May I make a request from Tusc and Pine?! I would absolutely loooove to see a video of each individual color mixed gradually into tints.
Thanks for watching, Kate! I'll pass that along! 😀

Yes! Thanks! We were so grateful that Cally pointed out her concerns, so we could address them and explain the intent with the Tusc & Pine Oil Paints!
