These are actually Mungyo watercolors that were re-branded by Brustro. Mungyo lets their products be re-branded by several different companies (this includes Sargeant Art, Jane Davenport, Prima Marketing, and Honsell/Jaxon) and now this is yet another one. So if anyone is interested in buying these paints, it is a good idea to check for all these brand names and buy whichever is currently most affordable. And I think these really are nice watercolors. One complaint that I have is that based on their own pigment information, they are unlikely to be as lightfast as the manufacturer claims that they are. But other than that they are great paints, very vibrant and with an exciting flow, and I really enjoy using them. It's just when it comes to final pieces and art to sell or give away, that I would recommend being careful with these paints as they are likely to fade over time. But awesome paints for working in a sketchbook, painting just for fun, practice, and so on.
Nice review, I recently stumbled upon this set and wondered what it is like. PY3 is available in two different versions, the more colorful version with smaller particles is less light fast than the other with coarser particles. Therefore, it is important for me to have one from a manufacturer who takes light fastness seriously and has an honest light fastness ranking of the colors.
Hello Sophia! I always check your reviews for alternative brands lole the camlin products and white nights. Looking at the colorm country of origin and pigment lineup, it seems like brustro is actually white labeling Mungyo's watercolors, as they're the only company that makes these dried cakes in thsi very thin pan plastic and the cakes have this weird texture when you use them. I'm amazed that Brustro was able to import the product and sell for cheaper in India, as other companies that whitelabels mungyo sells their products for a little more than the prices we find for mungyo products.
I saw this a few days back and thought this set was highly overpriced! Well, considering the cost of the empty tin + 24 tube paints + glycerin to prevent paints from cracking, this price is somewhat justifiable. Also, just for your information, the PY3 is lemon yellow is a fugitive color with ASTM rating V. Also some other pigments are also not very lightfast. Considering they are claiming those colors to be 3 star rated, I can't help but feel suspicious of their lightfast ratings. Also, though I don't use black, the PBk 11 in their tube set was the best black which has some amazing granulations. Also, the Greys with three pigments are just meh, along with their burnt umber. And they seem to have changed the Ultramarine formula from a single pigment to a multi pigment one, which is sad. Great review by the way! (As expected) Could you please do an in depth review for me like the ones by Alan Jay Quesda? Unfortunately, none of the art reviewers in India does so. Nobody even cares to talk about the pigments or their ASTM ratings. If you could do one, it would be much appreciated. Also, are you planning to do your own lightfast tests? Anyhow, these paints are a steal compared to mungyo which has almost 80% fugitive pigments, except for their flimsy secondary mixing well which sags downwards. Once again, an excellent job and thanks for the video chechi!
Hey, appreciate your feedback and detailed comment on the pigments. I could definitely do a follow up video on light fastness test and the pigment analysis if more people would like to view it. Thanks for the suggestions :)
Since I am neither affiliated to camel nor Brustro, I will be honest about this. There is no comparison between the two. The Brustro pigment quality is way better.
@@theabcworkshop I have bought them. The colour are vibrant however they are chalky. Hence I wanted to know. Since the price point is different I guess the quality of the half pan set must be better.
No one is talking about refill. So when certain pans get over can we buy individual pans or are they going to upgrade the watercolour tubes. Creative hands need to come up with a solution.
Hi, great review for these pans i have a question and it would be very great if you answer to it, I am a artist I really want to buy some great quality watercolor pans but brands like daniel smith, schiminkcle are wayyy overpriced for me, should I buy these ones? cause I am not looking for some beginner quality watercolors
Nice. I have bought the Brustro folding set of 42 which u reviewed on your channel. So far having been liking it. Please review good quality acrylic paints that you use. Thanks
Can you please also do mungyo half pans one please you provide one of the most unbiased reviews af all rest all are just source of marketing for these companies
Hi, Have you used the Camel Transparent Photo colors yet? Are you interested to know if they may be used like watercolors? These are actually meant for touching up old B&W photos. I just want to understand what specifically you want to know about this set :)
From where did you get these light fast ratings because see this purple you have written + but the tubes I have says +++ for purple. Could you please comment on this?
Hi, mixing white makes the paints more opaque. A traditional water colourist prefers to stick to its inherent transparent property and avoids mixing white.
Is the brustro watercolor paints in tubes and this one same ? Other than the box ? Cuz I felt like I can buy tubes and box seperately .fill it myself . It is way more lesser In price .
@@theabcworkshop thanks for reply. But if the subject is not brand haen what is your openion about pan over tubes? Is the tubes are better and comfortable?
Gurupada Chakraborty definitely tubes are better than pans. But I think Brustro doesn’t have it’s own manufacturing unit and sources it’s product from third party vendor. Therefore it may not be the same manufacturer who is making the tubes and pans. In this case it is possible that the pigment quality is different. But for a brand like camel, definitely the pigments are seen more vibrant in the tube because of the difference in the binder used.
@@theabcworkshop thank you this is helpful, I didn't see the reviews, though no comments but it's seems like the rating isn't great. I think Brustro it is. ^_^
Hi loved watching ur review Can u pls guide me im beginner in water colour painting Which brand should i buy i dont mind buying expensive one Pls guide me
I think when you make an english review, you shoukd also tell prices in $, so people who dont know how much dollars rupies are, can still understand the price.
Itsy Bitsy pan set has such bad reviews on Amazon that I am not too sure if I want to spend money on buying a set to review it. 🤷♀️ maybe I would do a video if I can source it from someone 🤞🏻

Best indian reviewer so far ❤️❤️ love u mam

Thanks for reviewing this!!!! Could you also review the brustro tube watercolours and compare it to these pans?? Thanksss
How would it compare to Camel Artist watercolor cakes, which also come in a metal pan and has 24 shades
Since I am neither affiliated to camel nor Brustro, I will be honest about this. There is no comparison between the two. The Brustro pigment quality is way better.
Could you please review mungyo water colour set as well?
Great and detailed review! How would you compare this to the Koi set considering that they have a similar price point and purpose?
I haven’t used koi for years but will pick it up soon to do a comparison. Will try and update you soon.
please review camel water pastels
Pls do mijello mission watercolour review 36 tubes

CLARISSA KUMAR creative hands seem to be using different manufacturers for different products so I am assuming the quality would be different.
CLARISSA KUMAR yes, I missed addressing this in the video. It’s a bummer that they don’t have a refill.
I found this same set for Rs. 849 rn. I wonder if they reduced the quality somehow.

From where did you get these light fast ratings because see this purple you have written + but the tubes I have says +++ for purple. Could you please comment on this?
Let me check and revert 😊
No white watercolor can be used for mixing
Hi, mixing white makes the paints more opaque. A traditional water colourist prefers to stick to its inherent transparent property and avoids mixing white.
@@theabcworkshop yes that is true but u can sometimes times mix white and add water to get transparency
Anyways everyone has a point of view
Deshna's joy world that’s true 😊

Most awaited video!!!❤😍
Is the brustro watercolor paints in tubes and this one same ? Other than the box ?
Cuz I felt like I can buy tubes and box seperately .fill it myself . It is way more lesser In price .
I think Brustro sources their products from different manufacturers so I don’t believe the tube and the pans have the same pigment quality or mix.
Do you know me I support you. Remember??
which you think is better brustro or sonnet?

Hi loved watching ur review
Can u pls guide me im beginner in water colour painting
Which brand should i buy i dont mind buying expensive one
Pls guide me
You may begin with Camel Artist watercolour tubes. As you get more comfortable with the medium, you may try out Daniel Smith tubes.
@@theabcworkshop thank u soo much for replying
Review of camel brush series 68
hi can u review the brustro tubes
Sure. I will be doing it in the coming weeks.
thanks
i like your videos a lot they are on point and they are so informative....
How would you rate these and Daniel Smith on a scale of 1-10?
Daniel Smith wc tubes are my absolute favourite ❤️. I would rate them an 8. Points lost on being almost unaffordable for Indian artists 🤷♀️
@@theabcworkshop Thank you, what about Brustro?
Shruti Hegde haven’t used the tubes but the pans are pretty good. I would say a 7
@@theabcworkshop ❤️😍Thanks
Is it possible to put more pans in between the two existing rows ?
Very likely no.
I regret my earlier comment. Yes, you can fit around 10 half pans between the two existing rows but you'll need some gum or magnets.
@@monsoon_magic2874 Thanks for replying 😊 I have already got an empty palette from white nights . I might try brustro may be in my next purchase.

Is this a paid add??? As the quality of brustro is pethatic.. and u r justifying it
Cost is really too high
