- I tested the Daniel Smith watercolor essentials set to see if these are, indeed, the best watercolors in the World.
I also used these primary colors and saw just how many different colors I was able to mix.

Hi guys! I splurged and got my very first Daniel Smith set... And now I'm sharing exactly what I think of them! Enjoy!
I have this set as well. I love these paints.
I have been painting off and on for decades. When my job involved a lot of driving I could access Schminke easily, no longer. I must drive for an hour each way or order on line. But I can walk to a source for some Daniel Smith and I have explored them. I order online when what I want is unavailable locally and make the occasional special trip for the special stuff. Both are excellent in my opinion.
Agreed!
Ahhh, these are lovely=3 Thank you for the review=3
I also recently replaced some colours I finished with Daniel Smith paints that, luckily, were on sale, and I just kept chanting to myself, "Please don't like them. Please don't like them." because they are so expensive. Sadly to did like them lol
Heheheh. What were they? They are pretty great "unfortunately" 🤣🤣🤣
@@sandyowncrafts I started with Cobalt Turquoise, Yellow Ochre, Alizarin Crimson, Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) pans which are colours I use the most. They are so nice, they have motivated me to paint more to use up the paints I already have so I can replace them with Daniel Smith paints lol
@@mrfredbasset If they motivate you to paint more, it's money well spent IMO 😀
So many tips and and advice 😮 I love your clear and succinct explanations as to how and why. As someone relatively new to Watercolours I thank you for this video and now am subscribed ❤🙏🏻
Hi! Welcome! So glad you're enjoying the videos, thank you 🥰
I bought the same set plus some neutral colors. Best purchase ever. One of the best transparent watercolors, nothing to envy to Schminke or Sennelier.
I was very surprised, I love Schminke but these just keep surprising me!
What happens is that if I just grab my second best watercolor such as Da Vinci or Lukas, I still cannot see the difference compared to Daniel Smith or Michael Harding. The only difference is that DS has some colors that others don't.
Well, you won't find big differences when you compare top quality brands. It's really a matter of taste, some people prefer vibrancy over transparency or granulation. It won't be a matter of quality...
You should try Winsor & Newton,
they have been around when I was growing up and painting, and they are the best.
do you find them to be rewettable? I have had terrible wnpro experiences.
@@maryellen9503 No
I have! I've had them for months. I like them very much but I was very surprised by Daniel Smith. Maybe I should do a comparison video 😁
How do you mean? You mean when the paint dries on the palette? I've put them into pans and use them the same way I do others. I notice that these, along with Schminke, never dry completely, they're always a little bit sticky...
@@sandyowncrafts Is it wet on wet, or wet, on dry where you have this problem?
Love your color chart. I saw your said they are tiny but they are professional grade watercolors. You have to remember when you put them in pan you can dry them out and keep reusing. I’ve had mine for at least a year and a half.
Yeah, after trying them it's easy to see you get a lot of paint out of them. That's actually the subject for my next video 😁
Wow I love these colors and the transparency of them all. I'm a beginner and have been using a MeiLiang set and while very pretty, they're not as transparent. So I'll definitely be grabbing this set soon. I really love your warm and conversational style too. Keep up the great work!
Hi! Thank you, you've made my day 🥰 I started with Meiliang too and Kuretake and I have to say, if you decide to try these, you'll notice SUCH a difference, you'll never want to go back. Hehe. Jave a great day!
Ha! My other set is Kuretake as well 🤣🤣🤣 Now I feel like I should have just sprang on a professional set from the get go lol
@@BeeGeeTee it's a process. If you go it too soon you'd feel nervous about using them and wasting them 😁
I wish it came with black and white for shades and tints...
The black is easy enough to make, the white is a bit harder 😁
I have the cool/warm primaries in gouache (of course in addition to black and white) and honestly? I don't see why I'd need more.. I have a bigger set in watercolours (24 half pans) and I think I only use half of them XD I much prefer mixing paint myself anyway. But yeah these look gorgeous! Hope you have a lot of fun with them ♡♡♡♡
Yeah, I'm starting to get that, I have so many huge sets and had such a blast with this one!!
