Your enthusiasm and excitement made this video extra special. Loved seeing the process of paint making and his dedication to the quality of his product. So glad you have new paint colors to show us in another video. I smiled all the way through this video.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks so much Charm! Glad you liked it

Amazing walk through of the Michael Harding paint process. My favorite oil paint brand of all time. Just received my MH watercolors. Life is good.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Awesome! Thanks for the comment! Im still experimenting with my MH watercolours but loving how much pigment they hold!

[@kelsieroach8896]

This is so cool that you got to meet the maker behind these paints…I love his oil paint ❤

Thanks for such a lovely comment lizzie!

[@pamgaylord2130]

What an opportunity! This is so fascinating to see. I recently purchased some Michael Harding watercolors from Jackson's and will be adding more to my palette soon because they are amazing paints.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for the comment Pam! Enjoy 😊

[@cellopainting]

Oh, at three minutes into your video, I feel so “healthy envious” 😛!debating if I should continue watching… Yes, I will because you are so energetic, beautiful and bright! Only recently that I began using MH oils, and I love it! I just wish I could visit Michael Harding’s oil paint factory! The red paint - so attractive!

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for commenting @cellopainting it really is isn't it!

[@franswey2]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful trip to Michael’s factory! I always thought watching paint dry was fun, but watching paint being made is more exciting than I have ever imagined it to be! Love from the mountain tops of middle Tennessee, where the hilltops kiss the sky! Fran

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Wow what a wonderful comment Fran, Tennessee sounds beautiful!

[@tradingpostfarms]

I would have fallen over and literally died in there. Pick 12, awe what an experience that must have been.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for the comment elli! It was truly awesome!!

[@ginabadeaux9319]

wow how awsome,i love watching paint being made,thank you

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christophemeathrel508]

What a wonderfully gifted artist Michael Harding is, totally the number one to discuss all aspects of pigments and the manufacturing process. Maybe someday in the future I could see his manufacturing facility, as I am an old printer with a slightly different take on pigmentation. Lucky lady, getting back home with a creative box of colours to experiment with. 💙🤍❤️🍷👍 👨🏻‍🎨 😷Cleguerec, Brittany.

If you get the opportunity we highly recommend a visit!

[@michaelparks8615]

This is an amazing tour - and I truly appreciate and enjoy just how excited colors and paints clearly make you, I feel similarly about paints and paint making and painting myself

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Glad to hear it Michael! Thanks for watching

[@burak5601]

Best. Art. Haul. EVER! Jess, I can TOTALLY relate to your excitement and enthusiasm about all those pigments and colors and paint surrounding you in the factory, what an amazing journey! It must be like a dream, a little child in willy wonka’s chocolate factory lol Please please please keep these sort of videos coming, they are freaking awesome! Thank you!

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

We’re so glad you enjoyed it Burak! We will do our best 👍🏻

When I was a kid, my grandfather had huge vats of pie filling in his bakery and I DID put my hand in them.

[@DizoriaN]

I have never been so envy in my life xD

Thanks for watching DizoriaN

[@davideatwell6577]

Turner's Yellow looks very good

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for commenting David, it is fantastic!

[@davideatwell6577]

Would be good to have some semi neutral mauves, violets and purple, no one does them

[@fotoalive]

Lucky girl! You deserve it You are a Great AMBASSADOR! Got my first order MH just love these tubes with the exact colors handmade on the top! plus I love the fact thay they have 60 ml has opposed to other brands that jump from 35ml to 150 or 200 ml .I got to watch all of your videos .Thank you so much this is going to help me tremendously in my Art journey! 😀

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Such a lovely comment! Thank you fotoalive, we’re so glad it helps! 🙏🏻

[@DCweldingAndArt]

Is the most exciting and envy inducing episode I've seen! Is even better than what I was expecting lol I probably would have cried too holding all that paint 🎨 😅

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Ah soo glad you liked it Derrick!

[@dshepherd107]

I was excited about your box of goodies when I initially began watching, but also hated you a wee bit bc I want them😂. This entire video was brilliant by the way. I loved your enthusiasm & felt it with you as you toured Michael’s factory, got to choose some colors, received the first tube of TURNERS YELLOW (omg, that’s when the envy really began to hit me, lol), & your delight over your the contents of your gift box. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. I’ll be looking for more now! I’m in New York’s Hudson River Valley by the way, where the famous Hudson River Valley artists began🙂. Also where American Tonalism began as I’m sure you know. I mention those bc I also am a landscape artist, who is particularly moved by those styles & artists, as well as Turner’s luminosity. Anyhow, ty again. I thoroughly enjoyed this video 🙂🎨

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for the lovely comment and Welcome to the channel D Shepherd! Enjoy delving into the ever growing pool of Art Life 👍🏻

[@julienporisse9902]

I received Michael Harding oil paints big tubes… about 15-20 tubes. The greens are excellent. I paint in the south of France where the greens are very lemony and the shadows in the greens are almost Prussian blue. Vivid greens, emerald greens and more yellow greens. The blues are also excellent. I was thinking about getting a Lapis Lazuli blue soon to try and paint a Leonardo esque figure … or some far lanscape.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Wow Julien sounds fabulous! Thanks for commenting - Lapis is a fond favourite of mine!

[@erina4586]

I am excited and would love to get a Box of his Paint Goodies.

[@anusha925]

Nice 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks Anu!

[@svenfigenschou7345]

You really nailed the excitement on MH paint :). I love the way you inspire anyone to use this excellent paint :). I have all his colours now, except Turner'sYellow - must get that one!

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks Sven! Turners yellow is a must in my opinion 👌

[@sonjakrantz]

Do you have a video talking about mixing colors and shades from primary colors, black, white, maybe a few others? What precise shades do you recommend for mixing? Ex. Titanium white, ect.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for commenting Sonja, I have not yet done a video on mixing colours as yet but I would recommend another Michael Harding Ambasador www.youtube.com/@VickiNorman she's fabulous at explaining mixing!

[@nanacoatingsltdfred8213]

Good work

[@rachael.mp4]

Imagine taking the old masters on this facility tour.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Ha! It would be like kids in a sweet shop, Thanks for commenting

[@tonis.9305]

This was an awesome video because it's amazing to see how paint is made. I recently purchased a tube of paint by Michael Harding, it's the Phthalate Blue +Titanium White mixture and I love the way it looks on my canvas. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with those primers and Turners Yellow.

Oh what a great time you had! (btw when I just started this video, I was struck by a silly question I have whenever I see those vats anywhere.... how do they clean them out to switch colors? Could you ask him some time?) Want these paints !!

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for commenting! We actually saw one of the technicians doing it- very impressive and thorough!

You're uplifting keep doing it. : )

Great video! I love using Michael Harding oil paints. Any idea when the new colors will be available on Jackson's?

Thanks TheMcMeow! not sure on the exact date but soooooon! Keep your eyes peeled on Michael Harding social media pages for their launch date.

[@charmcrumrine8750]

Oh and a shout out to Rafe for the great video he shot and the questions he asked.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Many thanks for the shout out Charm! R

Water colours in tube only or tube and cakes (half/full pans)? I use Michael Harding oils. Brilliant vibrant colours.

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

thanks for watching Nadeem

[@peterelmer9114]

I think I was nearly excited as you. Great to see how these amazing paints are made and in Wales about 10 mins from where I live. I have a few tubes of MH oil paint and it’s lovely stuff indeed. Is paint available directly from the Cwmbran site ?

[@ArtLifeWeekly]

Thanks for watching Peter, I don't think it is available directly from the factory, but worth a phone call?

Na Slovensku sa nepredáva olejové farby Michael Harding. Napísal som správu že chcem kúpiť a neviem kde to zohnať. Oni mi písali že na nete sa dá objednať, ale u nás sa nepredáva. Chcel som objednať rovno od výrobcu a oni odmietli, takže pre mňa tieto farby sú to úplne bezpredmetné. Našťastie u nás sa predáva špičková nemecká kvalita SCHMINCKE NORMA, som veľmi spokojný. Tie sú veľmi užasne farby a vysoká svetelnosť !. Aspoň tie nemecké " mercedes " !!!.

Really enjoyed the video, so thank you for doing it, however, the music was too loud at times and drowned your voice out.

Thanks for the feedback

[@howlingwind1937]

@@ArtLifeWeekly I really did enjoy the video, and it would have be fun opening up all those goodies you got, I've never seen so much glorious paint in my life, and probably never will, I've definitely got art product envy!😁

amazing tour, but why the loud music...

Comment je dois faire? Ici même à Sao Paulo n est pas facile car nous ne les trouvons pas...

Alors je suis artiste aussi! Je connais un peintre qui habite Sao Paulo. Il s appelle J'aime... il a un canal de publicité sur l' internet qui parle sur la qualité des couleurs à l' huile...il m a dit qu' il ne connais pas votre produit!

Shooting with a wide open aperture isn’t always the way to go.

[@jacquelinehocquard4400]

The music is too loud, I can't hear!

[@alexvids9232]

when people are so full of themselves and say things like "i have more than God". they are narcissists.

[@StopFear]

Good paint or not, all of us still know that few people want to buy art. Even the best art an aspiring artist may make. Painting and art is just not worth doing in life in general.

Sem música seria bem melhor... infinitamente! O momento é único, não há necessidade de mesclas. Perde-se muito do conteúdo falado pelo profissional entrevistado.

[@StopFear]

I don’t know. I do not like the happy go lucky feeling of this channel. Like you don’t need to constantly smile and push your forced positivity of success on everyone. For me at least it comes off as very arrogant

[@robertweinblatt2018]

I would work there for free! I now own about 53 tubes of the highly coveted almost forbidden in the US watercolors❤They are by far for me the best freakin paint I ever painted with! The texture and color range is phenomenal as well as their level of chroma
