The rooster wants to be a part of the unboxing 🐓 🍗

[@AllanJayQuesada]

[@pinkbeautytwinkle]

That's the sign na talagang nasa Pilipinas siya!

[@1mulekicker]

Awesome gift set! Your reviews of the last generation convinced me to buy 24, 36, and 48 color sets. Your video demonstrations let the products speak for themselves.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@@1mulekicker i am glad the reviews are helpful. You have got some sets there! I'm sure you're enjoying them now. 😉

[@1mulekicker]

@@AllanJayQuesada Prices never come down. Got to plan ahead. Lol

[@JustMe88419]

lol I'm jealous. I can't wait until a set like this is available, I am ABSOLUTELY gonna buy this set :-) love it!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

hehe. if you do watercolor content, they would probably send you their items. :). I am not sure if they're gonna be releasing the exact set as this, I think only piece by piece.

[@ravenfox13]

Ang ganda nung box ❤❤❤❤

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hahaa. Oo. Pero dahil diyan, pinapunta pako ng customs sa opisina nila. 🤣

[@PaintinHiding]

ooh~ so fun! XD thanks for sharing this video :D wow 14 years, long time. those pans are huuuuuge lol

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@PaintinHiding yes, I thought they were younger like not more than 10 yrs. But their 14. Yes, the ceramic pans are really the biggest. They're breaking records. Haha

[@alinatr2693]

I thought the whole video,my cat is meowing somewhere in my house,because of the noise😂 The box looks beautiful,very nice,I hope you have plenty of fun with It😊

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@@alinatr2693 oh.. sorry about that. Haha. Did you hear cat noise from my video? It was mostly our neighbour's roosters. Haha. Yeah, I think I'm gonna enjoy these. 😉

[@alinatr2693]

​@@AllanJayQuesada I watched your video not that loud so I didn't hear that these were roosters,only heard a random animal sound,so I thought It's my cat yelling at me from somewhere😂😂

[@ramengirll]

I have never seen such giant pans of colour before! 😮 Would you please review Gansai Tambi granulating watercolours and white nights granulating colours as well? I trust your reviews. Thanks!

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Thanks Allan, There are many Paul Rubens items on sale today, INCLUDING the brushes you've shown. They have a coupon for most items to get another 20% off!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Wow. 20%? That's a steal. So the brushes are already available. I can make the review then. Thank you. 🙏

[@providencevalleyfarm5270]

Hello again. I have been watching many of your old reviews today, going back several years. If possible, could you rate the Cheap Joe's store brand line of paints? I heard they have their paints made by Sennelier. I can't afford all the Sennelier shades I need for some botanical painting classes I would like to take, so I am hoping that this store brand really can measure up to the other professional paints. I am going to work on some of your botanical paintings this weekend! I really enjoy how you rate the paints and it is a huge help as I am building my palette and choosing practice paints and paints for "art." I say practice colors, since I am relearning how to use my hands after some severe nerve damage. I go through a lot of paint in just moving brushes around on cheap paper, so the quality isn't too important. By the same token, with your reviews and some by Otto Kano & Kimberly Crick, I have been able to get good quality practice paints at very affordable prices. Thank You!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@providencevalleyfarm5270 Hello. thank you for appreciating my work and for watching even the older videos that can be of lower quality. 🙏 i am pleased to know that the videos are helpful. I am even more pleased to learn that despite the nerve damage, you still manage to paint and enjoy. Please keep it, but be careful. 🙏 To be honest, I have been very curious about cheap Joe's products, but they're currently hard to acquire in the Philippines. Last time i checked, they only shop via DHL, which costs a minimum of 50usd.. when a friend of mind plans to go home to the Philippines, I can ask to buy samples for me.. along with many other brands. Do you have the specific product link i can check by the way?

Bonjour Allan, merci pour toutes ces vidéos qui nous laissent choisir notre matériel d’aquarelle en observant vos démonstrations si précises. On peut y voir les défauts et les qualités de chaque marque. Après chacun reste libre de ses choix. Aquarelles chinoises ou européennes selon nos moyens. Il y a quelques années je ne jurais que par Sennelier ou Winsor et Newton mais j’ai essayé les aquarelles japonaises et chinoises et je les ai trouvées pas mal du tout. Et je m’amuse autant avec elles. Alors bien sur il y a quelques défauts mais largement compensés par le prix et la qualité de la couleur est là…En France les 24 demi-godets de Schimcke Horadam coutent environ 140€, les 24 Paul Rubens presque toutes mono-pigmentées 45€ sur leur site. Et j’aime autant l’une que l’autre.

[@attorneycarissa]

I just bought the paul ruben set of 12 metallic paints with their hot press sketchpad for $16! Was 50% of on amazon with an additional 20% off. Definitely recommend people check them out on amazon right now! I love your reviews & PR watercolors. What a beautiful gift!

[@Xolo0001]

The brush looks similar to the brush I bought today. The brustro mob brush ❤❤❤but it's stick or handle is shorter

[@AllanJayQuesada]

oh that's interesting? Is it made in India? can i see the link?

[@Xolo0001]

@@AllanJayQuesada I think it made in India.

[@leenb.7936]

I once ordered something for 10€ and customs charged me 20€. I didn’t pay. Rather lost 10€ than having to pay 30€ for a 10€ item. Have no idea whether they kept or sold the item or if they sent it back, I suspect it’s the first option though, since sending back would’ve cost them something Back to the contents of this box though: I can imagine that this was a nice surprise. Seems like it’s gonna be a fun couple of days/weeks trying all these items out. There’s a lot in there. Also, wow, that rooster has far more energy than me lol

[@dawnborchert772]

Those taxes are crazy

[@KobieK]

It’s the poor quality control that makes Paul Ruben and other Chinese product not worth it. For example, the damage to the tin @7:20 and the poor glue job of the pad @12:29. You never find defect in Japanese or German made products. They always exceed expectations. I was shocked how supposedly cheap Japanese made items from the dollar store (Daiso) has better quality and packaging than “premium” items that were made in China. As a gift, this is a great item! But if I was to pay for it, I’d pick a 12 pans Holbein or Schminke set over this entire set. I’m glad you didn’t pay duties and taxes on it!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

I appreciate your good observation. I did not edit those out for transparency. though I have to double-check the tin, I think it's paint stain. I agree that they need polishing in the quality of production, consistency and also to documentation of their product. It was actually worse with the older generations where there were some misspelt words and grammatical errors. We could point a lot more things, to be honest, like the different brush sleeves, chipped paint particles, and the absence of product labels in the brushes.. etc. These things matter and affect the overall ratings of the brand.. but on the other hand, the target market they have still i think is focused to those who have tighter budget, or those who don't want to spend much yet but want decent performing paints/brushes/paper I have seen improvements in their products over the years though, and I hope that they continue with it to achieve the "premium" quality like that of brands like Holbein, or much more of Schmincke or W&N and DS.. :)

[@KobieK]

@@AllanJayQuesadaI figured that you, being an architect, also appreciated quality and consistency 😄 Agree that PR are targeting a specific demographic which probably won’t want to pay extra for added quality

[@lennoxraynewood2741]

These are all beautiful products you were gifted by the company but the packaging of the paintbrushes was really unnecessary. They did not need to box them all in their own separate boxes even if it was a gift package. I am sure you’ll enjoy using the items though.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@lennoxraynewood2741 Yes, the box was not necessary in this case because everything is protected in the big box already. But if they sell it individually, it can be helpful to protect the brushes like for the Winsor Newton Series 7 brushes. The plastic pouch is really not necessary. For sure, i will be enjoying these goodies. Especially the paper block. 😊

[@misty0708]

Thank you for the unboxing.. I'm addicted to the birds and roosters we can hear. 😀🐓🐦 Please use acrylic brushes. It's so cruel the way they kill squirrels to collect their hair. It's the reason I will never buy this box.

[@marytesta3003]

Every KZbin artist has reviewed this expensive marketing stunt.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

@marytesta3003 and I think, it's working. The more expensive brands like DS and Schmincke don't need much advertising since they're established already and have 2 or 3x higher prices. But i love them too. 😊

[@marytesta3003]

@AllanJayQuesada Very true. I just want the box, though! I love your channel. I only watch a few reviewers because you just can't love everything. I'm crummy at art, so I only buy professional supplies just in case something turns out!

[@filsartjourney]

What a great giftset! In our country everything gets taxed.... no minimum. And we have high sales tax🥲

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Oh, what? From what country are you?

[@filsartjourney]

@@AllanJayQuesada The Netherlands! Its 21% (on non necessarily things like art supplies) and sometimes 9% (for example art books) + around 16 euro's handelingcost. If you spend more than 150 euro's they add another tax (on top of the sales tax...) and that depends on the items you are receiving.
