Old Holland VS Rembrandt - Ultramarine Blue Deep

[@adnanmehic-xq5gw]

Hey great video thanks. You mentioned the transparency, glossiness, and softness of the Rembrandt paint. This comes from the higher oil ratio. Which means there is less pigment in the tube than the old Holland ones. Do not get fooled by the "tinting strength" of the Rembrandt paint. That blue you just used contains a small amount of phthalocyanine blue which is an extremely strong pigment. In my eyes that's cheating and purposely lying to their customers. I can suggest you to try the Michael Harding ultramarine blue. It's pure PB29 and it behaves a lot like Rembrandt paint. Greeting from Germany

Thank you for your comment, here is my video on MH Ultramarine Blue kzbin.info/www/bejne/f168l5qfibpoapo Have a look and let me know what you think, thank you 🙏🏻

Hi, when will you compare Michael Harding ultramarine with Rembrandt? Thanks

[@marcjasi]

@@lishutie I just received Michael Harding ultramarine today. The video for this coming Monday is already in the pipeline so this can’t be it. But I will do my best to release it as an extra video sometimes next week. Make sure to activate the bell to be notified when it comes out 🙏🏻

I also have noticed that sometimes I like less expensive brands more than a more expensive brand of a particular pigment. I definately think it is good and fun to try many brands. The less pigmented brands are easier to control the same way that cobalt blue is easier to control than Pthalo blue is, because it has less tinting strength.

@@pjjmsn yeah this is a very good point. I heard some artists use cerulean blue hue for that exact reason. Definitely important to keep our mind open and share our experiences with each other, this is great! Thank you 🙏🏻

I'm surprised by how much more I like the Rembrandt than the Old Holland. I wonder if you've compared it to Winsor & Newton's yet. I'm currently using all water-mixable-oils from W&N and I've really been enjoying them tremendously, but I've been curious what other traditional oils are like too so I enjoy these types of videos a lot. I'd been planning on eventually getting W&N traditional artist's versions of all my standard colors but this has convinced me I should really pay attention to Rembrandt too.

[@marcjasi]

No I didn't compare it to the W&N yet. But I am currently using W&N Cobalt Blue on my palette and it's great. W&N paint is very enjoyable indeed and very buttery as well, it's a good choice. You can see on my limited palette 2024 video, I pick and choose my colors from a few different brands. I keep researching a perfect limited palette, so I will keep making these videos. I am happy to hear you enjoy it 🙏🏻

I don't consider Rembrandt to be on the same level with OH i believe it's Michael Harding, blue ridge and williamsburg that are up there with old Holland. I think it obviously comes down to personal preference but as far as quality and vibrance of color it's definitely the ones i mentioned with Rembrandt being on a much lower tier. I think Gamblin might be better than Rembrandt also

[@marcjasi]

@@aserodriguez1425 yeah I think you are right! I like Rembrandt tho, but just it for Viridian currently. For ultramarine blue I changed to MH. I have a video about it, check it out 🙏🏻

[@kleinekuenstlerin7717]

I am going to get away from Rembrandt as I can't stand the strong unbearable smell causing me headaches. There are other brands (Schmincke Norma) with which I don't have any problems in this regard. Am I the only one or are there other painters with the same experience with Rembrandt oil paints?

[@marcjasi]

Aw I see. No I never experienced any bad smell with Rembrandt or any other brands that I use. You are right, you should use the paint you like!

[@acerodriguez6884]

No way how are you even comparing old holland to Rembrandt???? Old holland is top tier and Rembrandt is low mid tier.

[@marcjasi]

@@acerodriguez6884 aw I was not aware of that. I am just comparing two tubes of paint that I purchased to see which one I will keep using. I also compared it with Michael Harding, check it out 🙏🏻
