    I like how you describe what each colour reminds you of, as well as how it mixes with other colours you use. Really nice. I also prefer plastic palettes as they get better with use. They're also much more robust in general use than the metal ones. Some people say they stain - well they all do, even the baked enamel. The only ones that don't are the ceramic.

      That's the great thing about tubes, you can put them wherever you need them and they don't go bad. They will dry up, but watercolors are made to be rewetted as many times as you need. So virtually you can use them forever until you run out of them. Greetings from the other CR (Costa Rica)!

    • @iosebaart
      @iosebaart 6 месяцев назад

      Soft pastels are like a chalk, they are dry and dusty kind of like colored charcoal, and generally, in my experience they are squared. Oil pastels are more like a crayon, they are waxy. The ones you want to get, like the mungyos, are soft oil pastels, which are something like a soft crayon, and they are rounded. Hope that helps. :)

    I have the 48 set that I bought about three or four years ago… I wonder if they’ve improved the formula since then? Always found them a bit stiff but a step up from the❤❤ really dry brands, like cray pas . I have those two other super creamy sticky brands that you mentioned and yes they can be messy, but they have their place usually at the end when I need some ultra smooth blending. Recently, I tried a brand called Montmarte, and oh my gosh, the texture is supreme! Zero crumbs and blends like a dream :-) oh, and did I mention they are extremely inexpensive? Pretty certain they’re not light fast, although I could be wrong. Mungyo doesn’t seem to have any information about that anyway. But they’re worth trying and I hope if you do you make a video because they’re excellent! Love your style of video and the swatches look great :-)

There are ways to make the Cotman sit because it clicks in place, it's hard to explain unless you have one but it doesn't move around. If needed you could superglue magnets to the bottom to secure to a metal surface. I have used it outdoors and just strap it to my sketchbook with fine cord, like for travelers notebooks.

    while it looks pretty neat, good value for your money at first sight, i think most of the time it's better to have something with less gimmicks that solves a particular necesity really really well, rather than something with identity issues. The portable painter is stable outside, fits good on your knee (inteligent design, rather than eyeflashing), and would you really extend all those transformer-like trays if you are doing urban sketching/plen air etc? you would have to wait for them to dry too if you truly are using it on the go, or carry some extra paper towels, etc, and more of a hazzle to clean too. you would rather go for something like the portable painter (or the sennelier aqua mini if you really want to push for as small a palette as posible haha), or just go the other route and plan ahead to get yourself installed somewhere to paint, bring a little backpack with you, whathever backpack this cotman palette fits in, i'm sure a regular good old palette would fit too, since this isn't as small as to, for example, fit in your pocket, or be it's own backpack (along the line sof like, the derwent carry all let's say) . the paint being included is kind of a nice bonus at first, but it will always be better to chose pigments on their own. And what it brings is cotman, not winsor and newton, so is this something for students? but then, skip the gimicky eye flashing plastic trays all together, get a generic metal palette, no mijello or anything fancy, choose mindfully a double primary palette, get to read some info on the pigments don't just take in what comes in the set (sets almost never are a good investment over picking colors separetely, not money wise, nor pigment wise. the closest you'll get is picking sets individually curated by people like themindofwatercolor, but that's because they themselves follow the exact guidelines i'm laying out here haha, if you were new to the medium you wouldn't know that) get some empty pans and make some intelligent pigment choices yourself to learn about pigment properties, get to read on handprint or wet canvas, there are plenty of sources, and get a ceramic plate to mix. Also, the bottle seems so central to the design in practical terms, that the moment it starts having a leak for example, the whole palette is rendered a bit mut, you'll have to keep it there just for the sake of the palette being able to close properly lol. The brush included, sure, does the job, but then again, skip the paint and the brushes and any gimmicky trays altogether, give us a genuinly outdoor-designed palette, invest the cost in that rather than in eye catching extras haha That's just my opinion! I'll say this, it's eyecatching for sure, i can see why they went for those magical extending trays and cotman watercolors lol. a proffessional painter would know better haha, it's the kind of thing to trap a beginer or hobbyst with. Not to say that if a relative were to gift this set to someone looking to paint in watercolor that it wouldn't be a nice gift, but it wouldn't be the best money investment beyond the gimmick if the person plans to stick with the medium beyond a temporary, casual hobby.

    Thank you for sharing. For white: I use Copic ink which comes in a small jar with a small brush or they have a small jar that is copic white pigment. Very nice coverage. Peace.

    I have one of these! Had it for years. Replaced the brush with a W&N series 7 travel brush (I might need something a little bigger, wonder if Rosemary travel brushes fit?), started buying extra pans and filling them with other paint. It is kinda chunky and not as pocketable as other travel palettes, but the included water bottle is very handy and I tend to slot it into a sketching bag anyway. (Where, I hasten to add, a drinks bottle filled with water would not be so convenient) I like it very much. If I had any competence whatsoever with watercolours, I'd probably love it.

      "If I had any competence whatsoever with watercolours, I'd probably love it.", i think it's the opposite, it's a palette very much geared towards absolute beginers

    Oh, I didn't know that this palette had a water bottle and cups. I use a palette that I made myself from a cigarette box and since it's very thin I can clip it to my sketchbook. Sometimes I may use just a water brush with it. Other times a spray bottle and I also have a small plastic jar with a lid filled with water in my bag, just in case I want to use it.
