We are true believers that making art is something humans need to do, and paint by numbers is a great way for people to experience the meditative, self-care value of the painting process without pressure!
Totally agree!
It’s so good to see Papa Lemon! I hope he has been well. ❤🍋
I use the small bottles that you add flavoring to water, after using, twist the top off, clean, fill them with water and refill the water brushes, they fit perfectly, under 2oz each. Love them! 🎨
That's a great idea!
I know what you mean when you mentioned getting distracted when sketching outdoors. You could consider wearing headphones to deter people from interrupting you and telling you their life history. They can act as a visual 'don't bother me' message even when you might not be listening to anything.
I agree, and it also helps with mood via the music.
Loved Papa Lemon's cameo! Who knew paint by numbers could be so intricate, and LOVE that you added Kona on the back of the truck.
Your dad is so cute! Love his paintings, too. How adorable to see Kona in the painting!
Love the cameo with your dad. Also, love that you are taking your talent with you when you travel. My little travel watercolor set is much smaller and using a small tablet of paper instead of the sponges.
Awww papa lemon and Kona are both really cute and it’s always nice to see cameos of them❤️
Loved seeing Kona sit so demurely. ;) Also seeing your dad along on the shopping trip and paint by numbers! inspired me that I might return to that for fun. I used to do a lot of those as a child and then use the leftover paint to make my own creations.
It's so good to see Papa Lemon. I love Kona in the painting. ❤
I love that Kona makes an appearance in your dad's projects!! Thank you for sharing this and good luck with your new projects.
Great video! Nice to see Papa Lemon! I've been using my Sakura 24-color kit for 13 years! It's the GOAT of watercolor field kits. I also have the 12-color set, whuch is just a little more compact for fitting in my pocket or pack on a nature hike.
The slow blink. The crossed paws. Nice doggy. :)
Absolutely my favorite travel paint set🥰
I’m glad you enjoyed it too😊
Thank you for a really lovely video. I appreciate your review on the traveling paint palette. I have the very smallest one they make, but just ordered the larger one. Your paintings are beautiful and it was really fun seeing your dad's completed projects with the paint by number sets.Thank you for providing the links to all. It's very helpful.
I have appreciate a lot to see your father discussing about his preferences in paint numbers! Hope that he is doing well! 😊
Oh, I love this Palette! I just bought the 48 color version last week. I bought it thinking the paint would be very cheap quality, but I wanted the Palette itself. I had planned to pop out the paint and fill it with better paints, but I tested the paint first and was surprised by how really high quality the paint was. So, now I've been using it every day. I'm planning to get the other size Palettes from them as well, because even after the paint runs out, I can refill it with my own paints, and the Palette itself is such amazing good quality. So glad I bought mine.
I have the 72 piece of this set. I got it for the bright whimsical colours. I love koi. I now want the travel set so I can easily pack it. So pretty! Love your cards. I love your dad is a painter too. So adorable.
Jennifer, this was a delightful video and a bright spot in my morning routine… thank you for putting in the work to share the way you do. And WOW paint by numbers have come a long way… these are gorgeous… go Dad 🙌🏻
This looks like a really lovely set 😊
It looks like a nice beginner set. I’ve been wanting to try watercolor so I’ll have to check it out!
The cards you painted looked so pretty. Really seems like a nice little kit.
I have that same Koi set. I really enjoy it for trips as well.
Thanks for sharing the review will remember this and nice to see your dad in the video too. Love your dog he is so handsome 😊❤
I have the smaller version of this kit! (The 12 color one). I love using it for doodling in my watercolor sketchbook. I've had one since 2019 or so
I travel with a 30 set. Love, love it.
I have had that little pallet for about 10 years now. I have always liked it. Glad to see you enjoying it too. Thank you for your video. P.S. Love your Pup.
Your dad's artwork also looks really great! Good feedback, too.
The part with the dad made me like this video.
I got one of these koi kits just for an easy form factor! I was disappointed in the quality of the paint! I have replaced all of the paint with DaVinci Watercolors! I might recommend buying a small DaVinci 12 color palette, over this one, their 6 color mixing palette was less than I paid for the Koi!
I guess I say better to use quality paints over cheaper paint.
Koi is listed as student grade quality so I resisted buying it until i needed a travel kit when i went overseas. Wow! What a set! The colors are vibrant and almost opaque. A few colors are a touch "grainy" but nothing too bad. Will I give up my Da Vinci or windsor newtons? No, but they are great for the price point and what they are.
I really enjoyed this video! I want to use my set more, too. I really like the idea to store little swatches in the top since I found it easier to paint on a flat surface, too. Maybe I'll take it with me to may parent's this weekend!
Wow! I have the same colours. I asked for water colours and my art supplier showed me these. I wanted to get something cheaper (in India there are local cheaper alternatives) but the stationer suggested that I take these "There are a little expensive than the Camlin, but these are much better." I bought them and I like these colours.
I do love this pocket sketch box; I haven't used it a lot because I'm still learning how to do the basic water coloring. It may not be "that good of quality", but I like it for now.
Miya/Himi also has an amazing travel kit. I love mine
That was my first watercolor pallet and I loved it! 😊
Really enjoying this format!
OMG I have had two Koi sets and I never realised what that brush was for!
I have this kit, I love the colours so much!
Good morning 🤗 Sea Lemon 🌹I do have this set and I really like it I just learning Watercolour techniques I also have the small travel size Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton sets also I use all 3 of them for the classes I am taking before I start to buy the tubes enjoy your travel kit ☺️🌹💌🖌️🎨🦄🤗
Ah I’ve been eyeing this pallette for a while but never took the plunge. May check it out again 🤔. Also loved hearing about Papa Lemon’s own crafty projects 🌷.
I have this same palette and I love it!
your voice is very relaxing!!
I have this set and love it!
Found your channel from this video. Best designed watercolor case ive seen so far. Hopefully the tray extension legs dont break.
Btw what is that cutter measure board at start?
I love your vedios
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
go dad!
People usually complained about the transparency of this paint. I have their smaller kit and I also find it nice, but I'm no expert. 🙂
That's awesome! 🎨
Very pretty 😀
Kona is beautiful ...
Beautiful paintings Papa Lemon
While Koi is a lovely set, I am finding it to be frustrating that paints are sort of put in place for you and you cannot change them around much, or (because the nests for them are not standard size and Koi doesn't sell paints one by one, so once the paint is out the set has a hole it it, so to speak) you cannot substitute your own; hence some alternatives, if you can get them:
- Mungyo watercolours - 24 set (48 set has some close-to-redundant colours and three 'metallics' which are the only awful three paints in the whole range; 12 set I am finding a little too limited). It is not expensive, the box is metal (so will not shatter in travels like plastic), it has a holding ring too, and the benefit of this set is that you can take and replace watercolours you won't need with any half-pans you wish (including any other open stock Mungyo). If you use a middle row of the box for paints instead of brush, you can fit even more paints to take with you.
- Van Gogh, any set you can afford, I personally really like their 15-paints basic set, as I am finding it very versatile and well-balanced; overall I am using Van Gogh half-pans for years and they never failed me; they mix well and for the price range they are very well saturated without being chalky. The half-pans in the set can be taken out and replaced if you run out of one colour or wish to customize the palette.
I won't recommend bying a set but one-by-one Jacksons'art half-pans (reportedly rebranded Sennelier) are really good solution, as for me, if I need to add an extra colour or replace some of the above.
24 colors is more than I have in my non-travel palette lol
I never have tryed that one but I might but I found the best Finnish one I found on Amazon was called the nomad set it comes with a set of really cool Woden brushes and a pencil and it's all compacted and the paint is good too 💜🎨💜
Wait a min how did my dog get to your house?? I like this box. I know people buy it and remove the paints and put their own artist grade paints but my heart will not allow me to do that 😛 wish they sold an empty version of this😍
I like the palette itself but the quality of the paints is average (at best). I would pop out the paint and fill it with tubes from a good quality brand. This way it would be absolutely perfect
Your dad is so sweet..

I had a small set of these a while ago. The pigments are REALLY bad. They are chalky, with not much pigment. It is student grade. I would definitely not recommend them for anyone who wants to learn to watercolor. All the teachers I’ve had say buy artist quality paint. All the Koi are good for is to add color in a journal or a coloring book. If you want to make art…just no. Beginners will get frustrated with this low quality pigment.
I do like the design of the box. But not the flimsy plastic container of paints. You can rip it out and get the file from Mike Daikobara to 3D print a better insert.
I am fully agreed with your comment, but she is doing nothing wrong with her suggestion to have this Sakura Koi in her purse or pocket as a fast set up expérience when she wants to use it, according to my humble opinion! I like the kit itself of being a compact one to be using! The pigments itself is a student grade, but is convient a friend budget for every one who wants to trying it for fun! Just the case itself is a good quality to buy and you can using a better quality pigments after all!
@@danyelhudon458 I agree about the case. If beginners can afford it, it’s better to use Artist Quality supplies. So I disagree with characterizing this as “the best” for beginners.
Oh i hate that thumbnail with a passion, im sorry but I'm unsubbing, i hate it. I hate hate hate it.
Can you share why the thumbnail bothers you? I'm open to constructive feedback as I'm trying a new style with my thumbnails :)
I don't see anything wrong with the thumbnail.
The thumbnail is beautiful! I don’t usually reply to comments, but I thought the thumbnail was so clear about what I was going to see when I clicked, and it was spot on! Keep up the great work Jennifer.
Well I'm confused as why you felt it necessary to unsubscribe... please give the content creator an explanation and well us all. Im nosie
@@SeaLemonDIY I am not the original commenter, so I don't know their reasoning, but if you wish to improve your thumbnails, may I suggest making your own geniune expression for it? 'Reaction' expression, i.e. intentially exaggerated and often completely artificial grimace isn't very attractive to look at. I am aware that this is a recommeded trend for youtubers to follow as it is supposed to bring more attention/clicks, but I am finding this to be a rather undignified fad.
(The composition of the thumbnail isn't very good either, with small postcard of the plane being of the same about promimence as a head).
As a viewer it isn't obviously enough for me to unsubscribe, but if you look for a feedback, I felt that intent and composition of this thumbnail was overly artificial, insincere and followed the recent recommended fad instead of your own honest reaction (also composition was confusing in sense of picture balance).
