Spoiler Alert: The Tubes are WAY Better Than The Pans! Paul Rubens Floral Tube Watercolor Review

Paul Rubens Floral Tube Watercolor Review
Today we are taking a look at the tube paints from the Paul Rubens company. https://amzn.to/2Nkw3g8 (affiliate link used, 5% off coupon code: Code: 05TEFY81 ) I recently reviewed their set of 24 half pans. Their Metallic colors knocked my socks off and the standard half pans were decent for the price. The tube watercolors that we are going to look at today really impressed me. They seem brighter, much more transparent and glossier...waitI think the word is luminescent. I have used them in several paintings and I have not seen a downside except that the naming of the colors if different that out customary western watercolor names but luckily all of the paint tubes have pigment info so you can determine what the common name for the color would be if they are different.

Pros:
Price (under $60 for 24 12ml tubes)
19 of the 24 are single pigment colors
Colors glaze well
Paint is reliable, it does what I expect and works like my other professional paints
*These remind me most of my Renesans Tube watercolors from Poland.

Cons:
I am not crazy about the earth tones. I like the Van Dyke brown but the other browns are weak and have odd undertones, also the raw sienna color is weak.

These paints can be purchased on Amazon and here is a 5% coupon code below as well
