I'm gonna be creating four landscape paintings using paints that are from different time periods and price points I have a cheap and expensive palette from both 2023 and 1950 and I'm gonna compare them based on a variety of factors that I have laid out So here's what I'll be working with today For the 2023's cheap side I'll be going with a mix of Gamblin's 1980 line and Windsor Newton's Windtun line Which are each valued at around 5 to 6 dollars each On the expensive side I bought a set of Williamsburg handmade artist paint which can cost 12 to 16 dollars per tube For 1950's cheap side we got liquid text and Binion Smith's artist oil color Yes, liquid text used to make oil paint for a while Which I found online for $6 a pop back in the day which is around $75 in today's money One, two, for $75 and that wasn't even the expensive side For that one I got these OG Windsor Newton oil paints which are valued at $11 a pop on the low side Which is about 137 adjusted for inflation in today's money We're painting with gold today ladies, gentlemen and NBs so let's get started As for subject matter I'm painting something that I very rarely do landscapes Capturing nature has been a continuous theme over the ages so I'm choosing a couple of photos That I think embody both modern architecture and some antiquated structures I'm gonna rank each of our palettes out of 5 on 5 different parameters Viscosity We want nice buttery paint, no question there Pigmentation, I'll consider both power and overall vibrancy for this one Worthiness of the price, I'm a cheap skate so don't get your hopes up fella Overall experience, did I have fun painting this and rating the actual painting that create I'm gonna critique myself at the very end Great, so we're starting off with the cheap paint from 2023 And I've used these a fair bit if you couldn't tell by the teeth marks I think it's also important to note that I will only be giving myself one hour with each of these paints because I think that will give each of them a chance and kind of the most even playing field so Starting now, okay Like I mentioned before I've used these paints a fair bit and I'm pretty familiar with them so This will be the most boring out of all the paints that I used today One thing I do want to mention is that I'm not using a blue as I couldn't find it for the oldest paints So all the skies are gonna look a little bit rainy But using no blue is like not unusual because if you've ever seen the Zorn palette or a Zorn painting Andrews uses the same black as I am, the ivory black to get cool colors But I'm not sure if it works for landscapes We'll leave it there, I'm very happy with this The paint, it was a little thicker because they add a lot more linseed oil or whatever oil Finder instead of the pigment But it also helps with laying down some of those thicker parts The impasto parts around the painting so yeah For viscosity I'm giving it a 2 out of 5 The 1980s are really not fun, they're terrible honestly The winchins are a little bit better but just nothing, nothing too fancy Pigmentation I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 Standard for today's paint, nothing too weak Worthiness of the price, I'm giving it a 3.5 because even for that cheap price you end up using more So it's going to be more expensive than the paint that you would have bought if you just bought the expensive one So overall experience a 2.5 out of 5, I just didn't really have fun It wasn't great, it wasn't a terrible experience so you know right in the middle And then rating the actual painting that create, I think this is a 3.5 out of 5 And overall I give this one a 15 out of 25 Okay, okay, painting number two I've never used this paint so I'm very excited These are some of the most pigmented and expensive colors that I've ever used If you couldn't tell already I was definitely having a lot more fun using these paints than the previous ones I realized I didn't have a timer but there we go Dude this paint is so freaking nice What have I been doing my whole life? Just so silky and like, oh I can't even describe it I think it's important to note that I did not pay for these I applied for a grant a little while ago that There's basically four materials and I specifically wanted expensive paint Because this is kind of what the masters use back in the day So that's how I got it, I'm not you know wealthy enough to afford $300 for a bunch of these paints The viscosity, 5 out of 5, this one is prime The perfect buttery consistency, no complaints about that Pigmentation I give it a 4.5 out of 5 You know it's very pigmented and bright, nothing too overpowering But it's not the best out of all of these Readiness of the price of 4 out of 5 is still a little high for this paint And if you're looking for a set it's going to be over $100 So you know, choose your battles Overall experience of 4 out of 5 I had a lot of fun But there was just too much paint left over because it was you know super pigmented So that was annoying Reading the actual painting that I create I give this one a 4 out of 5 So overall that is 21.5 out of 25 If you've ever used a canvas like this, could you tell me what I'm doing? I have no clue, am I supposed to just like just scrape it off like a normal glass palette Please let me know if you know All right, we're back Right, let's start this timer By the way, my name is Christian Batchaz and I'm an artist based in New York City, New York And if you're enjoying this video or are videos in general Please consider subscribing I'm trying to upload weekly so I have a lot of content coming your way, so yeah One thing that I did want to say was that a big difference to me is the consistency differences I feel like nowadays the colors pretty much feel all the same But back then like some of these colors are so like Like hard and then others are so like Just like buttery and soft Some differences I know One thing that I learned in this video is that I love painting landscapes There's just something so fun about sitting down and just painting like just some sort of scene And not having so many restrictions because you know, it's not a face. It doesn't have to look perfect So I definitely see myself continuing to do these and I really want to do one of these outside So yeah, maybe I'll make a video like that going to actually like watching to the square park and sitting down in and painting one of the I think I'm done with this piece We have 22 minutes left. All right, that's cool Um, yeah, I don't want to like overwork this, but I'm pretty happy with it It's paint is just great. I have no complaints about it Actually, I do have a very big complaint about it smells terrible Yeah, cool. We'll call it there viscosity. I gave it a 5 out of 5. It's also very very nice compared to the last one Pigmentation I give this one a 5 out of 5 it is so very very pigmented. It's probably more than it is now honestly Where theness of the price I give it a 3.5 out of 5 you know, honestly This is a little bit still price here for back in the day I wouldn't have really recommended it or bought it overall experience I gave it a 4 out of 5 green was annoying to use because it was just so And I was also scared for my life when using these because of the heavy metals, but it was fun nonetheless Reading the actual painting that create I give this one a 3.5 out of 5 and overall this is a 21 out of 25 Paint that we've all been waiting for the oldest one I just want to start off by saying I am gonna cheat because I cannot find White paint for the life of me, so I'm just gonna use the liquid text just for the wipes We won't be too much of an issue. I'm still gonna judge the paint pretty much basically. Hey look at this So it's definitely like rough Little glass I don't know what this is As you can tell this paint was in pretty rough shape It was in a box in a home that was like untouched for a couple decades So it had not seen light in a while and I'm still not sure what that corroded material that had built up kind of around the Cappers, but the paint on the inside still seems squishy in you There is one thing that I'm noticing that is so annoying and that I'm not used to Some of these pigments are so much stronger than other ones So this green I don't know if you see but I've been trying to mix it into a lighter color for so long But it's just such a strong color that like it's so difficult to do that But then like the coverage isn't good. So then I have to keep remixing it And it's annoying. But yeah another observation I also wanted to mention that you can purchase these paintings for only $75 each free shipping on my website right now I still love watching art YouTube videos and then buying the art that I saw as a way to have this piece of that video in my home forever So that's what I'm doing here. Check it out if you're interested or especially drawn to one piece or another I'm ending it early. I'm done with this I just hate this paint. So yeah, let's go to the wrap up part of this So the big question is can the last one beat out the rest? By ratings for these are viscosity two out of five This was so difficult to mix and blend and get the right color wasn't fun pigmentation 2.5 out of five Some of these were stronger than others. There was a lot of bleeding and nothing was more impressive than the liquor text honestly Worthiness of the price is 0.5. This was way too expensive for anyone to use it for this quality paint This is like 1980 the the 1980 paint that I have overall experience one out of five I did not have fun. I was fumbling with the mixing some paints were tougher than ever's bleh and rating the actual painting 5 out of 5 surprisingly this is one of my favorites Maybe because I just kept working with it. But overall I would give it 11 out of 5 booty
