    Regarding the mixing palette, yes there is a plastic tray/cover that came with the paints. I only thought it was to protect the paints in the box so I didn't really think about it, but as some of you have pointed out, you could use it for mixing the paints on! I have no idea if it is its initial purpose but it'll definitely work. Thanks! :D

      Kattvalk I actually didn’t realize that in the box until now that inside you do a color chart. I actually took mini paint palettes and I hot glued them inside the box and It works for me

      Kattvalk I was just about to comment this 😊. This plastic really holds well for mixing. What I do is I put the plastic over the color chart so I can still see it to choose colours if that make sense.

    @mysticori 6 лет назад +367

    Anyone who's wanting to buy these should keep in mind that they are Japanese watercolors meaning they're made with totally different binders and aren't meant for lots of mixing and aren't really good for glazing as they lift very easily. Also, they are opaque. I suggest checking out the video "What is Gansai" by Sadie Saves the Day 😊

    • @debbien.3315

    • @HannahIrene719
      @HannahIrene719 6 лет назад +12

      They're really not opaque. A couple colors are but the majority of them are not. And they glaze just fine.

    I’ve always wanted to try these because I’ve heard so much about the pigment and stuff. The pans are also huge! When I’m not broke from buying other art supplies, I will am totally planning on getting this set. It’s awesome that they come with metallic colours too.

  • @PetaHewitt
    @PetaHewitt 6 лет назад +215

    Thanks for the review. I am on the fence about getting a set of these watercolours... I have a ridiculous amount of watercolours already and I'm trying to concentrate on using only two sets to really come to grips with their personalities. (Daniel Smith and W & N Cotmans). But so far everything I've seen about them I love sooooo... might just suggest them as a birthday present.

    • @angroxy7865
      @angroxy7865 6 лет назад +2

      Peta Hewitt Daniel smith is really good depending on what kind of art you do . I don’t suggest buying the kuretake because it’s not as pigmented as Daniel smith

      @@elenakk9125 i feel like it depends on some of the colors but it could be that you maybe use too much water? I feel like just wetting it with one drup and then using it with a brush that's damp is enough I can get pretty good pigment out of them

    This was my first “big” watercolor purchase ever, years ago. They are really beautiful creamy paints! Ive used the crap out of them, and have only hit pan on a few colors. And the cardboard has held up well, despite the fact that I used to spray my paints with water. Now I us a dropper. But I go back and forth with these and the mijello mission gold watercolors as my fav paints. I mostly use my mijellos, bc I have them in a nice small compact tin.

    An interesting tidbit about the size of the pans: I dissolved the paint and filled it into a full pan. It fills exactly one full pan, so a little bit less than two half pans.
    It's less than you expect, the pans are very shallow.

    You should try grumbacher academy watercolors. I heard they are one of the best student grade watercolors out there!!! Some people prefer them over some artist grade watercolors!

    I have this pallet too! I love it, but I do wish they had more skin tones and browns...

    I have Windsor newton tube watercolors that I love. I almost always mix my colours (rarely do I use a color straight from the tube- I’m weird I think). But I’ve seen this set being used by other youtubers and it looks so nice.
