Unboxing Mystery Art Supplies for the Algorithm! #Shameless

I enjoy your unboxing videos beuase you use the products and you give an honest review and also always remind us to shop our own supplies. It is also nice to see what is out there and lets me see the new things without buying them. I enjoy all of your videos and your Sat Chat either gets me to work or home in the am (night shift worker here) I enjoy the company and the laughs.

Thanks for sharing !!! 😍

😍😍😍 Those giant pans! I do believe Jackson's sells the Blockx version, but I've never sprung for them either. I bet the big pans are the student grade, though, from your demo. I saw they brought out the giant oil pastels in colors too, (they say Oil Paint stick, but I have the black and white and they are actually the Haiya pastels). From the spring on that Esprit brush I'd guess it was a synthetic, since true squirrel just stays bent. Oh and the brown umber is probably a typo – you know it wouldn't be Paul Rubens without a pigment typo! They probably meant PB15, PB*R*7 and PBk9. Your first stroke looked brown on camera.

I love shopping. This is like shopping 😂

I watched a whole movie just to see what was "in the box".😅 I need to know!!!!💟

Gansai was my first thought when I saw the ceramic pans. Can't wait to see what you find out about them!

Am I the only one thinking about the movie seven and thinking “what’s in the box?????” lol. I love unboxing.

I would add a pr122, pg50, cad med py35, py150, pbr25, pv16, pbr24/yellow ochre light mission Gold, umber, maybe pbk11. And since I picked 8 I’d swap the hansa yellow and Burned Brown out. If the middle row fit 7 colors I’d put a cerulean colbalt blue, probably before the pbk11.

Paul Rubens… another cheap highly smart chinese company heavily and generously gifting to influencers. It's probably just to be nice, though, right?……..🤐 Let us not worry, and dig in!…….right? X_X

I really don't need any more art supplies, but I love watching you unboxing them. I like the way you respect the product and give us your first impression. You're not just slinging boxes and tissue paper around! I think all of us watching have 100% control of what we choose to buy. In fact, I have come to your channel to see if you've reviewed products I want to buy. So, thank you! You're like my artsy-fartsy big sister who knows about pigments!

The description for the brushes on Amazon says that the brushes are animal hair…..

From my experience I honestly think that some colors contain ox gall and some do not, that goes for every brand, or they all contain it just some colors have more of it than other colors ? What do you think?

The round Japanese pans are called teppachi

This was such a cool box it included things I couldn’t have imagined even existed lol!

People like your unboxings because you are honest about the products you review!❤❤❤ you are also more expansive in things like trying out more kinds of paper with the products…. This box in particular is so cool because it was a mystery for everyone including you 😊

yay

Unboxings and art supply hauls are not icky. And you deserve all the extra algorithms you get Lady!! Please dont feel guilty about it. We love ya and your vids!! 😊

I also want a beautiful box from Paul Rubens. There could be nothing in it, I just want a beautiful box.
(I am more cat about boxes than my cat who despises boxes)

My fave HP paper is Baohong, because it makes Luminance pencils really come alive in mixed media with WC. Is PR HP paper similar? I like how Baohong HP paper is slightly textured. It’s my fave cotton paper for pencil

Blockx are common in Belgium – not discontinued (just perhaps harder to find abroad) I live in the UK and have family in Brussels so I have a stash of Blockx pans and absolutely love them! Pretty excited about the giant PR pans! Though the last thing I need is more paint. Good thing I can’t afford any atm😂

How amazing to get such a surprise! I would be overjoyed to receive something like that! enjoy it Lindsay!

Fun, thanks!!

How fun!! I’m so jealous. 😄

What I thought the ginormous pans would be useful for is use with a Hake brush. Otherwise, studio decor?

How long would it take to use up the paint in those large ceramic pans?😅 Someone try it out and report back.

I love unboxing hauls. It's like watching someone open a present!

oooh that is one pretty box!! 🥰

I think that those W&N were about twice the size of those Kuretake pans. These paints would be a great set to add in a pan of Daniel Smith graphite grey. I think you will find that the granulation added will make you use these colors more.

THat was fun 🙂

Sat chatters always say. Yes

I enjoy haul and unboxing videos. No need to apologize, even if I can’t buy everything, I still enjoy seeing the new goodies. Thanks for sharing. ❤

It's so funny, the comments mentioning "it beats the news!" Yes, it does. I do keep up with what's going on. But for too many years now, so much news has not been good and some just downright awful or scary 😱but it may finally be getting a bit better.
🤞😉.
But YT channels for arts/crafts, thrifting/estate sales, vintage reselling, (picking,)history, learning, old movies, outdoor adventures… you name it, have offered millions of Americans and viewers around the world, an island of sanity and normalcy away from the stress of the world or maybe the stress of our week or just our day. Thank you Lindsay, for contributing so much to providing a "Happy
Place" for thousands of us who enjoy being creatively inspired by your videos and tutorials and by YOU and then feel a bit of peace & calm while doing it! 👍

Lovely fun gifts for you. Aww so want Paul Ruben’s glitter paper still not on our Amazon I can wait. What to add hummm burnt umber, teal blue and green um Yeap and my go to yellow ochre. Um would also like a little gouache white mind I could break off a little white from a inktense stick. Yep good to go. Me I love my teals, such a fun watch thank you for swatching your gifts.

I wonder why a Chinese company chose to call their company Paul Rubens? Not sure if this is common knowledge but i randomly remember strange facts. Anyway the actor who played PeeWee Herman's name is Paul Rubens. I cant stop associating this haul with PeeWee Herman. 🤭

Don’t worry about doing unboxings if you enjoy them. People who aren’t interested or don’t want to be tempted can skip the video. I love them because when you are swatching and mixing , I learn a lot about color and technique. It’s not always about the actual product for me. Thanks for the video!

Hullo Lindsay, I do enjoy watching your videos no matter what the subjects are! I have wanted a set of the Giant BlockX watercolors! They are NOT as large as the ones that you un-boxed at 3×4 inches! But they are very large sized and they are all lightfast colors! I have found them at St. Louis Art Supply and they even sold a sweet wood palette that held these “giant pans”. I did notice the last time I looked that some colors are back ordered. On with the show!

FYI, if you take a picture of the Chinese text, go to Google translate and you will be able to read all of the text. In Google translate select image and the text from the photo is in English!

I love Paul Rubens, and Rosa. Your thoughts about them are always appreciated. Thanks

I went searching for these on Amazon but found that Paul Rubens has oil paint sticks. The listing calls them extra large pastels, but the wrapper says oil paint. A reviewer confirmed they are oil paint sticks. This is exciting since WN discontinued theirs.

Fun! Thank you!!!❤😊

Wow, what a lovely gift from paul rubens. Fantastic video as always. Also, i think those big pans would be great for teaching classes like you mentioned…especially since the paint in them is a little lower quality and they are the typical primary colors (tho 3 more colors with a warm yellow, cool red and blue would be absolutely fantastic for teaching watercolor classes. Anyway, thanks so much for accommodating all us curious sat chatters….Great, fun video. You hear that algorithm – give this chick a raise!!! Lol anyway Much love ❤ and take care

It does to seem to be animal hair on the brushes. I looked it up on Amazon.

So much packaging for those brushes lol

Soooo excited for the seen sketchbook tutorial ! I hope it’s a rather simple project but at the same time I am just excited, I made my very first sketchbook about a week or 2 ago and it’s been awesome BUT I didn’t see it so a few pages have fallen out so my next one is gonna be seen so it’s perfect your gonna do that as a video !! N

what a beautiful gift ,i got a 4 brush set of squirrel synthetic brushes ,i enjoy them ,thank you

I love watching unboxings. I also do a fair amount of unboxings on my channel and now I'm wondering if people think I'm icky…
This is a beautiful gift from Paul Rubens. I bought two of their sets of paints this summer and love them. I've actually seen an improvement in my art since I started using them.

You did it!

I enjoy unboxing, especially when it's a humble and honest review/thoughts.
Thank you, Lindsay, for all you do to help me make good choices when buying supplies. You are such a joyful and humble person.
