  • Hello friends!
    I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
    As you know, Schmincke has recently released some Retro Products; they include different sets, with current paint but original vintage design.
    Today I'm swatching the wonderful little set of 8 half pans.
    I am also trying to paint a small spontaneous landscape to test out this colour!
    As usual, I would love to hear from you! Comment please!

    I just ordered this pallet and after your video I can't wait for it to arrive. I got drawn to it because of the colors. I live in Spain and I think they will fit my environment. I made up a limited pallet myself with eight colors of my choice and I find myself always going back to this more limited pallet and mixing from there. Paintings this way always seem to look more organic with the colors relating to each other. Your little landscape by the way is amazing.

      @WatercolorElisabetta  3 месяца назад +1

      Thank you Christine! I love challenging myself with limited palettes, which contrasts a little with my impulse to collect colours. But I also find myself going back to the same colours while I paint…. Thank you for your comment! Enjoy your new paint ❤️

    Thanks for the nice video 💜 always a pleasure to watch.
    I bought the set because of the retro design (I love historical things) and because it's such a cute little palette. The colors weren't ones I would have chosen but the reason why they've chosen them is because of the historical background. (If you're interested in the background story how this retro line was made/ companies history I have a video about that).
    Wish you a wonderful day/ wonderful Valentine's Day ❤

      Yes, the set uses their standard half pans. Very convenient for substitutions.

    When I first started painting with watercolors, I didn't care for granulation or opaque colors. That's when I started looking, found, and purchased Schmincke's finest UMBlue. 😂 I still really enjoy using it, too.

    • @WatercolorElisabetta
      @WatercolorElisabetta  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes Tracy, not always granulation is the right effect! You are right it’s beautiful.

  • @suzisandpiper
    @suzisandpiper 5 месяцев назад +1

    You put the paints back in the box the wrong direction, they should sit long side top and bottom so there is space for the bar to hold them in. With Winsor & Newton their pans are narrower, so I can up end them and get 5 across on the top and bottom using magnetic tape to hold them in as you can’t get the bar in that way around. The middle will hold 4 more paints again horizontally. I bought this palette it’s so cute. I don’t want to take retro labels off the paints! 😂
    Your little landscape is beautiful ❤️

    That's a nice Yellow Ochre, a color I tend to stay away from due to its pasty, mustard-ish tone. Maybe it's the lighting, but the Viridian seems blue-ish, more like Manganese Blue.

    • @WatercolorElisabetta
      @WatercolorElisabetta  6 месяцев назад

      Hi Steve! In reality, it is greener than it looks on screen! When I swatch many colors together, some of them are slightly different than in reality. Good eye!

  • @UTleochi

    Thank you for the lovely review, Elisabetta! I adore your little landscape painting, it’s so beautiful. I’ve treated myself to the same little set, and I wish they had replaced either the ochre or the raw umber by the cochenille red. That would have been a more balanced palette, IMHO.
    But you are right, a limited choice of colours makes you more creative. While you were swatching I thought a combination of only the two last colours would make a splendid almost monochromatic study.
    Looking forward to discovering the possibilities offered by this set - It’s still waiting for me because I haven’t had the chance to use it yet.

I contracted it for the first time in November, got laryngitis in December, and I’m just now recovering from severe bronchitis. My physician told me that Covid often ruins your immune system and makes you prone to random infections. Therefore I wasn’t up to other things than my regular working schedule and family obligations because I felt exhausted all the time.

I'm glad I could help ;) You can also fit 4 extra pans sideways in the center section (they sit a little bit higher but you can still use the locking tabs and close the lid :) ) I love my little travel palette, even though the black paint finish on the palette tin isn't perfect and the lid with the mixing trays won't stay level unless you support it with your finger the whole time ;)
