First, "Muslim" is not an ethnicity, it is a person belonging to the religion Islam, but I am assuming you are talking about Arabic men. Many Muslim men find blonde hair blue eyed women extremely beautiful and would love to buy a hookah from them, just as many blonde haired blue eyed women find Arabic men to be extremely handsome. The reality is that not hiring or hiring someone because on their looks IS racism. And hiring by looks/ethnicity to appease people who always see racism in everything is only enabling their distorted world view and behavior. As a business owner, I hire people who are the most experienced in the job I need them to fulfill, not because of how they look. And I definitely don't hire ethnic people who are inexperienced just because they are ethnic to fill a diversity quota!

I sure would love to document the travels, but it will be challenging due to work load and the fact that my boss will be with me on the tour. Haha. I can take videos for sure and paint at the hotel, but that would be more of a narrated one. With regard to tax, I'm not exactly sure what you're pertaining to. When it comes to KZbin income, I get tax from US since Google Adsense is a US Company. As my income gets transferred to a local bank, it is charged with some bank fees on top of the US Tax. All in all, around 20% of the gross income gets omitted because of the tax and charges. I heard taxes are bigger for US citizen creators.

I'm happy to receive these items and review them honestly,.. coming from someone who almost got no good materials 20years ago. Haha. Merry Christmas and Happh New Year too, Phillip. 😊

I love real cadmiums and cobalts. 🥰 I'm not sure how I'm gonna share my outputs here, given my name is Watercolors by Allan Jay Quesada. 😆 not sure how my watercolot-focused viewers will react. 🤣 but yeah, i heard MH oils are some of the best and so i got some tubes.

Thank you. I've been using Holbein Gouache for months now, and It's weird that I'm actually happier with the Holbein gouache than their watercolors. Haha. They're so creamy. I think it's just refreshing to use highly opaquenpaints after years of watercoloring. Haha. The Irodori sets are nicely themed sets. I believe there are 4 sets? Ohmy. That's 48 colors to collect. My wallet is shaking. 🤣 And thank you too for appreciating my work here. That means a lot. 🙏

Yes, i did that when I was 10, i was on 4th grade and i used Marie's Oil paints. I could vividly remember that the small set of 12 colors then was 2USD. Haha. Sometimes I still do portraits for some projects if i will be required to. But i hate portraiture as you've said, it's difficult. While i think i can paint sensible lookinv portraits, copying faces is another skill, I'm not very confident of.. so i usually just paint the people i know or celebrities. Yes. Thanks! I'll always be unbiased, till I release my own handmade paints. 🤣

I appreciate the support! I'll never say goodbye to watercolors. I'm married to them. Haha. But yeah. That sounds interesting. I think i can make a re-review of the old paints ive used. But before that, i need to finish atleast more than 50sets more lined up for review. 😬

Interesting about the burnt umber in oil paints drying fast -- it dries so hard-to-rewet in watercolor, as I'm sure you know. It seems to do that in every brand but I never thought about that extending to oil paint as well. Pigments do all have their own personalities, don't they?

Wow. Thank you for these suggestions. I'll keep all these in mind. But 24hrs for burnt umber to dry? That's instant. Maybe i need a retardant incase?

Yes they do. Many earth pigments dry fast unless there's honey. In oils the solution can be a retardant.

Thank you. Happy Holidays too. 🥰🎄

Oh my. From what country are you? I think they ship from China. So I useally receieve my package in 7 to 12 days only. But can you track it? Is it moving. I hope it arrives soon in one piece. 🙏

Thank you! My cat loves being undet the tree. Glad he's mature enough now not to be playing anymore with the Christmas balls and the presents. 🤣 Merry Christmas too. 🥰

🥰🥰🥰

Hi Maria. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the umboxing. Yes, I watch your channel too. Great work, and I see you're passionate about it. 🎨 keep ot up. 😊 PHD? I don't have PHD. But I took a break for 6mos last yr after my father died and I focused bit more on my project and mental health. 🙏

@@AllanJayQuesada Thank You for watching my channel. Sorry I probably confuse you with another person who was doing a PHD.

@@Fuumuui0426 yes ofcourse. I love them all. 😊 beautiful items and unique. Thank you, Chrisky. 🙏

Oh great. Which one do you prefer?

@AllanJayQuesada I use the alcohol the most but the watercolor ones are fun to create cool textures by wetting with a brush like watercolor pencils, i have bought cheaper brands off Amazon but still think ohuhu are best quality for your money.😀

@elflordsjourneys wow so the water based behave like watercolors? That makes me more interested in these. I have only used alcohol markers before, so the waterbased are gonna give me new experience. Thank you for sharing this. 😊

@AllanJayQuesada oh yes. You can get amazing blooms and textures when the colors collide.😀

@@elflordsjourneys wow.. wait. Do they also granulate? Like the earths and ultramarine?

Hmm. I'm already planning to do landmarks for the sketchbook. But that's a great suggestion. 🙏

I have no idea about luxury brands (only luxury paints 🤣) so i had to google Prada. And yes, the fonts have semblance. 😅

@@AllanJayQuesada it’s definitely deliberate and hilarious. Love it! I don’t wear luxury brands either, haha

@gertietheduck yeah, they're being playful. 🥰 If I were a rich man, i'd rather do weekly arthauls and reviews then donate the items than buy luxury brands. But that's just me. 😅

@ its not just you, hahahaha. I think we (in this small corner of the internet) would all just make art 24/7 and indulge our art curiosity if we were rich

Hahaha. Wishes. 🤣

I'm really glad you enjoy the travel sketch videos. Not many watch them in my channel. 😔 but i super.enjoy doing them, and if i will find time in my future tours, i definitely will do travel videos again. 🙏

@ it’s a real shame re people not watching - you are so exquisitely skilled and I love “ coming along” to your trips!

@gertietheduck thank you. That means a lot. I guess those who don't prefer watching the travel sketch videos will prefer them in the future when they can relate better to the experience. And i guess i have attracted more viewers that are into reviews. Hehe. But that's ok as long as there are still folks like you who watch and love the travel videos. 🙏 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada I like both - I just really enjoy your vibe and your art!

@gertietheduck thank yo so much. 🙏 😊

Oh that's interesting. How similar? Like they blend like watercolor?

@@AllanJayQuesada I guess it depends on what paper you use them. They do a bIt on impermeable papers but not on Bristol(I don’t like them on Bristol for that reason, but some people swear by it and hate impermeable papers). But for me it’s about the layering, transparency and luminosity

@gertietheduck hmmm. So i will need to explore other papers then.. aside from bristol, i remember using my markers on snow white and onion skin papers.. and they work well too, but you limit the layers because of the paper's light weight.

@ yeah, I think I quite like impermeable papers because the bottom layers get reactivated a bit so for me it helps blending, but a lot of people would find that really undesirable. I think it’s about what you are used to. It’s like different mediums.

@gertietheduck the old me (who did not like watercolors much), preferred not mixing markers and preferred layering instead. But now, i think I'm curious how markers could blend like watercolors. I think I'd like to explore that feature. 😊

During the sample painting that's the Isabey travel brush. Thanks!

@GailBurfoot hahaha. Glad the video was helpful. Thanks too. 😉

Haha. Now, you can use it. 😊

Glad you like them. Happy holidays. 😊

Thank you too. It's my pleasure. 😊

@michellecampbell4194 the ones i have are natural hairs. But Fuumuui has synthetic hair brushes too. Pls do checkout their website . 😊

@@kinjoestioko6519 hahaha. Wala eh nanjan talaga sila sa labas ng room ko.

Hahaha. Don't forget to use yung discount code Jay. 😉

Thank you. I hope your holidays are merry and bright! It's my pleasure to talk about watercolors over and over. 😊

Thank you ! Happy Holidays !

@@petrajimenez7323 🎉🍻🎊

Thank you. They're growing so fast. 😇

Thank you so much..! While i love a lot of brands I've reviewed and can actually work with most of them, my favorite would have to be Daniel Smith. Been very familiar with it so I'm comfortable using it. 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada You're so welcome! Yes, so many brands can be fun to try out. That's great to hear about Daniel Smith! I've only tried a dot card and indeed loved how that paint flowed and look too. I love that confirmation! Thank You🙂

@mariemyndala dot cards are a good way to know a brand and check which colors you'll invest in soon. Enjoy painting. 😇

Hiii! I am glad to hear that you never get bored of the swatching. I enjoy doing it a lot. 😊 I think, anything made in China are cheap.. actually, anything made in most Asian countries are cheap. Cheaper labor i think. This is the reason why some companies, even as big as Apple, have their products assembled atleast in Asia.. for the cheap labor. Some protests and call our labor abuse, but this may not be applicable in allnof the cases here in Asia though. The birds were still there but they were not as loud or many as the typhoon may have disturbed them. I filmed right after the typhoon has passed. In some of my videos, theyre not around. It's either i shot in other part of our home, far from their tree, or a typhoon just past, or I shoot in the evening. Wow, you're moving. I hope everything came smoothly. New environment for the Holidays? That's good for you. 😊

@@lig5233 ahww. Thank you. 🙏 . I think you won't be missing them much this season as I'm to upload a few more. 😊

They may not realease it again, but I hope I'm wrong. 🙏 i hope you find a good tube set soon. Thank you too. 😉

Oo lalo pag tubes.

Grabeh kuya, kasama sa top 5 watercolor brands ko yun. For me sya yung top1.....2nd place is mgraham ​@@AllanJayQuesada

Thank you too. I love discussing pigments as I am nearly a pigment nerd. Haha. I think, since you're not in to florals, the 4th and 5th generarion tubes set will be good for you. Pigment selection is actually also good.

Hiii. Yes, we've been in collaboration for quite some time now, and recently, we released the Allan Brush. Haha. It was fun, but i think Fuumuui brushes are really good for the price. 🙏 yes, there are few sets left probably at Aliexpress, and price will jest depend on delivery location. 😊

Thank you. 🙏

Thank you for your appreciation. 🙏 😉

Thank you. 🙏

It's my pleasure. 🙏

Yes I love them and infact i bought all the 48 colors. Haha. Im glad that the pigment information is not present in their website as well as other information. This is a great update. I also hope, though not in a rush, that they can expand their color line and include more valuable and premium pigments. ☺️

@drago987 thatd be payne's gray, burnt sienna, yellow ochre, burnt umber and sap green.

Hii. Thank you for sharing your experience about these paints. They're good and I hope they reach more people internationally.. i hope they make it available to Jackson's UK so I can easily access them. Their website is really cool with compelte pigemnt details. One of the best I can say. Aside from my review, thefrugalcrafter also has a review of this. 😊

Thank you so much. 🙏

Favorite watercolor brand? Maybe so far, the last few pro grades in the comparison part. 😊

Thank you. 😍

Yes. 4 are Kolinsky Sable Hair and 1 is Squirrel Hair.

They are! Thank you! 🤗

Thanks, I hope you get it! 🙏 advance Merry Christmas. 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada Merry Christmas in advance!🎄😃
