Today I am pleased to share the newest version of Paul Rubens watercolors. These are their 4th generation paints and we will compare them with their original pan version that I love.
*This set was sen to me in advance of release for review. Affiliate links used.

The Paul Rubens 4th generation tube watercolors are currently available in 2 set sizes:
24 set: https://amzn.to/3HvYySq
36 set: https://amzn.to/3W6Foap
*They come out to less than $2.50 per 5ml tube with the 36 set being the most economical

Pros:
All strong and useful colors (no white)
Most colors are single pigment
They dry down in pans nicely and rewet well
All colors were fully mixed and consistent (no binder separation)
Gorgeous packaging
Very affordable
Finely milled with subtle granulation on the cobalt colors, french blue and Indian red. If you prefer not to have texture in your watercolor paints these are for you.
Nice dispersion (these contain oxgall for flow according to my contact at Paul Rubens)

Cons:
Single replacement tubes are hard to get

Bottom line: I have no hesitation recommending this paint. It is clean and vibrant, flows well, and behaves as it should and all of the colors in the set are useful. If you can snag it for under $100 I think it is a tremendous value! Currently, the price is a steal!
