Hi! Beth pointed out that the link to the Fuumuui brushes say they are Kolinsky Sable, which means NOT synthetic. Just wanted to make sure you were aware that it is different than what I said in the video. 😜
love the way you put the enlarged swatch on the screen , so we can see all the detail info as well as the color up close
I got the same colors in the skinny rose gold palette a couple of years ago. The beginning of my love affair with Mijello. Tip- use the red brown to tone down the greens. It makes gorgeous natural greens then. Mix it with PG7 for a Van Dyke green.
I LOVE Van Dyke Green, so thank you for the suggestion. I always tell my students to use the reds to tone down their greens, so it's a great lesson for them to not have exactly the right green mix all the time. I also like to use Burnt Sienna and either Ultramarine or Prussian Blue to alter the greens as well. It's so fun!
Great greens can be made with black and yellow too. 😊
This would make an awesome starter set.very complete.great travel set as well
I agree!
I love the granulation of the ultramarine.
I've always enjoyed using these Mission Gold paints. They're really nice and I also love granulation. :-)
Wow the color selection in this palette is better than what I expected, and beautiful painting as always 💖
I'm really happy with the color selection. And thank you. ♥️
@@MirandaWatsonArt btw I just found that amazon uk sells this palette without the paint!
Oh, enjoyed the closer look at this cute palette. Loved the watercolor painting you made with these colors.
Thanks, Dora! I'm quite intrigued with the design of this palette. I feel like I will pull it out a lot once I am done with my Himi Miya experiment.
Nice combo! I love the red brown!
Yes, that red-brown is a really nice color. I have these tiny palettes that will hold only 3 colors, and I was thinking of using it in one of them, but I haven't decided yet. (I have it in a tube form as well).
Beautiful painting! Enjoy the set, it looks really nice
Thanks, Barbara! I didn't need it at all, but it's adorable and the paint is such fun to use. Doesn't hurt my feelings to have several duplicates!
@@MirandaWatsonArt that’s the most important thing, it’s brings you joy 😊
love that permanent red deep, its a lovely red
much better paint order now that you flipped it, yeah i would just 3D print another little container to put in the case
lovely panting!
That's such a cute pallet. Perfect for painting outside. The colors look lovely as well, I have never tried this brand before so something to add to my long wish list lol
That's a smart little palette. I wish they were making them in full pans. Beautiful painting, too. Hav a great weekend and good luck with the rest of the lessons.
Ooooh, full pans would be ideal!
I think that I need this pallet :) Thanks for your review. I'm not sure about the black window pane; I don't know why it's there. Hope you completed your course
I do believe this palette would be a great addition to anyone's collection. 😁
Thanks for sharing
You bet- thanks for watching. ❤️
I got the 48 palette and the colors are really vibrant! Love your demo
Thank you! How nice to have the 48-set!
Very beautiful! Have a great day
Such a pretty palette. I think this video has me convinced to buy it🥴 as well as those travel brushes…Just so compact and convenient! The painting turned out so nicely as well😍
It's a cutie, that's for sure. Plus the paint is really nice. Did you get it? 😏
@@MirandaWatsonArt I got the watercup and the travel brushes and maybe if I just get an Amazon gift card for Xmas👀👀👀
@@AlexisCassandraArt fingers crossed!
Great video and beautiful artwork! 💖 Now I need to buy this palette 🎨 😆
Yes, this palette would be a great addition to anyone's collection. It's so fun!
Glad that you finally got this uploaded, Miranda! Thank you for sticking at it! I definitely prefer your painting to your tutor's. Yours is warm and summery while hers is more a sunny, but very cold winter scene - like today here in the uk - where the shadows are grey and cool. Neither fully reflects the atmosphere of the reference, which was a very monotone, lifeless photo, and I prefer both to that, but yours has all that I'd be looking for in this sort of scene!
It's a joy to see your enthusiasm for the paints! I dont really understand why they've used mixed pigments for the earth colours, but they're still very pretty. Like you, I'm curious to see how much that grill pan holder get in the way when you're using the palette more, and just how much paint accumulates underneath it, That matters to me, as I like to be able to wipe my brush on the edge of the pans, and I can't see that working with this grill.
I hope you manage to see your critiques, and can share them with us. If you can't see them online, maybe she can email them to you?
Work deadlines are calling. 🙃
This was a really fun set to work with. I do anticipate having to take off that black holder in the future, but only time will tell. I thought it was pretty cool that the reference photo was kind of boring because then we could see if we could bring our own life into the painting. That's true with so many photos that I'd like to paint. I need to find ways to spice them up!
@@MirandaWatsonArt 😊
Lovely painting! I just ordered the set of pure pigment Mission Gold tubes to try, I haven’t tried any Mjello products yet. I seem to be addicted to cute travel palettes and the paints in this one look fantastic, but I think the black plastic piece holding the pans would annoy me.
I have about 8 or 9 months left in a Skillshare subscription that I need to use as well. I wanted more tutorials for learning how to use gouache, and have watched a couple, but haven’t actually tried any of the projects yet. Hoping to over Christmas vacation.
Did you use your Skillshare over Christmas break? I hope so!
That is a cute & pretty palette-a "2fer". I like your painting way more than the teacher"s. I found her shadows jarring. Was going to buy brushes but link says they are real kolinsky sable. No wonder they paint so well.
Well, that explains a lot. I thought they were synthetic when I bought them. I pinned a comment above to let people know - thank you. It is a cute and unique palette with great paint. 😀
@@MirandaWatsonArt I was bad today-bought Denise Soden's new palette. Got to get it while the gettings good!
@@NanaBeth1 I almost bought it, too, but I haven't yet. The free shipping is nice!
the bright greens are for mixing , try it.
It’s such a cute set and I loved the unboxing in your earlier video! Your videos are so relaxing and happy, love you!!❤🎉😊
Aww...., that's so sweet of you, Maggie. Thank you. ♥️
I got the empty 24 palette since i already had an extra 24 7ml tube set that wasnt being used. The colors are a bit different, only two yellows, the lemon and the deep, they include opera pr122 instead of the shade of pr122 you have, instead of prussian they add indigo, and hookers green instead of the bright yellow green. A really nice selection and usually sells for about 30 dollars if you need at least some of your refills. Rewatching this video reminded me to fill it up. Hopefully the black part doesnt get in the way as i fill them..... im too lazy to disassemble it properly before filling, but i may not have a clean choice...
I like the color choices you have. Did you fill it yet? 😁
Mijello Mission Gold is one of my favorites out of all my paints. I bought the huge set years back and continue to go back to that set time and time again.The vibrancy is what wins me over every time. I feel like i can control the paint easily as well. I already have all those colors, and im over here,,,,,,****oh but how cute and compact,,,,,,crazytown self talk. Seriously, i would buy sand if i lived in the desert! lol Lovely painting, and im a new subbie as of last night, i have taken online paint classes before for acrylic. Loved them and let it lapse. I love gouache as well, i prefer the 50% cotton too.
Hahaha, it made me laugh when I read your comment. Yeah, I have a lot of Mission Gold paint as well, but my excuse was that I wanted to see if the half-pans were equally as good, lol! And you're right, the palette is adorable. ❤️
What a good looking palette and it contains 24 half pans, not 12 but 24 😮. Love your painting. Thanks!
I actually use my palette the way they set it up - with the lid towards me - so I can pull paint out of the pan and put it on the mixing tray so it's closer to me. But I usually set the swatch sheet to the side. Yes, MG is honey based! But does NOT seem to run or fail to cure the way M Graham does.
I was thinking about it later that I should have mentioned that's just the way I usually paint but everyone will find their own comfortable fit. Ah well, hindsight and all that.
Hi Miranda, Gosh! I am so sorry! I forgot about the patreon video. Well, maybe I can still watch it even though I won't be able to comment.
I love your version of the painting. I hope your instructor does as well. I also like the paints. Great job.
Wow, fun seeing this palette! I have seen another smaller MG pan palette in the past, but I don't think it's available anymore. I think that was when they first came out or something. I've been loving my MG set too, it has many of the same colors (mine is the 24 pure pigment, and it's only 2 dollars more than this set... )
I'm also finding I really like the Yellow Ochre! First time I've liked one! Oh and the Rose Madder is the first PR 176 I've had, and I LOVE it. It's perfect for painting fruit. I like their Permanent Red Deep PR254 a lot as well, it's not too opaque. The Indanthrone is to die for! (I had to order it separately and it was so expensive!) I want that Peacock Blue - I find I'm missing a phthalo turquoise in my set, which is one of the few convenience mixes I really like.
They make a Cobalt Black which is so unusual and it does granulate! But Jackson's doesn't sell it. Hmm. I did find it on eBay and may still pick it up. If so, I'll send ya a half pan :)
Have to give them credit for including a decent swatch sheet! I had to laugh at Schmincke, who included a sheet that had too many squares, didn't fit in the tin, and was on flimsy paper....
Oh, Mission Gold - you and your crazy color naming! I do love Cerulean for skies, but of course they did the typical inaccurate naming that's rampant through the line. Their 'cerulean" is phthalo blue of course, and "viridian" phthalo green. And that crazy 3 pigment Burnt Sienna, although yes it really does look nice. I agree the sap green is too bright - I'd try adding a bit of the perm red deep and/or the Rose Madder to tone it down.
You have pointed out an important principle: The more cotton a paper has, the more absorbent it'll be - resulting in better bleeds and durability, but more color shift. So I think cotton is very good if you know you want to layer or do wet on wet. And if one wants to lift, or wants lots of "flying white" (spots left unpainted in brushstrokes), cellulose is the way to go! So they absolutely both have their advantages and disadvantages. Many UK watercolorists adore Bockingford, which is only made in cellulose. I'm curious about the Etchr paper and how it compares to other 100% cellulose. The solution on cotton for the drydown: Use Stronger Paint! If you can get it in one layer, do, by laying it down and not fussing with it, which results in that fresh look.
I do think the Hahnemuhle books do soak up diluted, light paint a lot. It's quite absorbent because it's aimed towards urban sketchers and they like their layers to dry right away. I have wonderful results when I use strong enough paint though!
Oooh - the Cobalt Black sounds intriguing! Yes to everything you said here!
Just a difference of opinion on a couple of points: Cotton paper: as with any type of paper, cotton or cellulose, it depends on the brand and on the sizing, but most 100% cotton watercolour papers are not more absorbant than cellulose. They are sized specifically to allow the paint to sit longer on the surface in order to allow time for the paint to move. I don't find any problem with lifting or dry brush (flying white) either. Note: I've been doing a trial of eleven watercolour papers over the last year.
Second point: "Many UK watercolorists adore Bockingford,".
Ask most "Bockingford" artists which paper they use for their commissioned work and you will get a very different answer. Yes, again, I know - Every workshop / demonstration I've been to at the big art fairs, eg Artist and Illustrators, the artists have been using Bockingford, and when asked, they do not use Bockingford for their own work. They use Bockingford because they are sponsored to do so / it's the paper supplied for the demo / workshop.
A point on which we do agree is the problem of the Hahnemühle colour shift, which *is* a major problem, as is the uneven sizing on some pages, but according to their launch video, it's not solely intended for urban sketchers.
@@MirandaWatsonArt I've added a reply to Jenn, Miranda, on the topic of cotton papers, the preference of so many UK artists for Bockingford and the Hahnemühle 250gsm sketchbook problems.
I would definitely want to add this set to my collection😅 the painting is perfect ❤
Glad to see this. It’s on my Amazon lust-list.
This looks like such a great palette! Amazon Australia doesn’t seem to have it yet but maybe next time I order from the US, it’ll “fall” into my cart. 😂 Your painting turned out lovely, and much more appealing than the original reference photo! ❤
Fitz and the Tantrums! 💕Great review!
Your puppy is a little gray 🐑 haha.
He totally is, isn't he? With those little black legs, lol!
love the review. just out of interest, can you remove the black insert and place full pans inside, if you can how many ?
Dear miranda I LOVE YPUR VIDEOS SOO MUCH ❤- is it true that QOR is your Favorit watercolor brand?
Yes, it's true!
And thank you!
You have to use MORE water with your Silver Black Velvets? I think you must have meant less!
Nope. More.
What a cool palette, can't find them in the UK I'm moving lol just used your link and they slipped in my basket, naughty amazon 🧝♀️ lol. One of the reviews said the pans are quite empty, did you find that Amanda?
Hi Sue! Yes, Amazon is a dangerous place - things always slip into the carts and end up on our doorsteps, lol. I found that most of these pans were quite full. Many were rounded over the top of the pan and only a few were sunk down about 1/16th of an inch.
@@MirandaWatsonArtThat (probably) same review of a triple palette with 12 colors only did not recommend the colors. They said they were chalky and, I think, not transparent and that they had deteriorated over the years. Glad I found your review, and my FB group MG users all are quite enthusiastic about Mission Gold as well - so, after hesitating for a while, I will order a set, probably the pure pigments (I watched your video about them as well). Thanks, and liked and subscribed. Love your paintings!
