Sorting and Organising My Entire Collection of Schmincke Horadam Watercolour Paints!

- I've been meaning to do this for ages, but now I have finished collecting all of the Supergranulation paints, I decided now would be a great time to sort all of those, along with all of my other Schmincke watercolours, into new and organised palettes. This was a big job but now everything makes a lot more sense, and it is really great having all of my paint colours easy to access and see. I hope you enjoy this organisation video, which includes paint pouring, sorting into tins, and swatching all of the colours.

I'm drooling here at the thought of discounted Schmincke paints. So beautiful and satisfying to watch as you went through and organized these palettes.
I went a little overboard buying those discounted paints, oops! Satisfying though. 😁
Oh, how fun to spend a few days just organizing, reorganizing and swatching paints! It does take a lot of time, though, so I definitely understand why you're tired. Whew! But it looks great in the end!
I was expecting it to take half the time that it ended up taking, lol! It is amazingly time consuming pouring paints and swatching. But go on, you know I love it really 😂
I really like the pallet top left at the end, good idea to use the extra big pans. According to an acquaintance who’s a doctor, colours can make us happy, give us inspiration etc because they stimulate (I think that was the word used) the reward centre in the brain. Our attraction to paints and always looking for new colours and the happiness and hopefully satisfaction of painting is good for us. Knowing this we don’t have to feel any guilt buying new paints! 😉
Sounds like an excellent reason to me! That palette is one by an Australian company called Neef; it is very heavy and solid metal. Painted white but I decorated mine with alcohol inks, lol. You can find Neef Metal Palette at a store called Senior Art Supplies. They have a website. 😊
Thanks for sharing this. I can second that. Painting really makes me happy.
I am drooling over the paints!
They are wonderful paints, for sure! 😊
I like watching these sort of videos, plus I enjoy doing poring paint into pans too and organising them.
Oh yay! I was wondering if this might be a really boring video, but I have to admit I enjoy seeing others organise their paints too. 😁
Thrilling!
Gah this is awesome! No better feeling than touching your art supplies and spending the day (days) organizing beautiful paints.
That's so true! Re-aquainting myself with all of them. Some I had forgotten I'd bought, lol.
Wow! Happy!
I love making new palettes and swatching all the colors, then deciding I want to add more, or different brands and making another new palette and more swatches...but wait more new paint! (and the cycle continues lol)
Haha it never ends! 😂
This was so relaxing to watch! And I love that you do every other swatch so there aren't color runs!
Thank you, I've learned the hard way to do alternating boxes, haha!
It's so satisfying to watch tbh
Thank you, I'm glad!
Loved this Becky, very enjoyable to watch, need to organise my paints you've spurred me on now lol
Thank you! It's so easy for them to get out of control when new paints are introduced into the collection! 🤭
Nice sharing my friend 👍
I just love Schmincke watercolors, they are my fav! Great job, and very exhausting for sure! Enjoy and use them all!
Thank you! Daniel Smith paints will need sorting too but I don't think they are quite as disorganised as the Schminckes were, lol!
Becky, that was a job well done!! 👏👏👏👏 Gee it's so hard to sort watercolours but NOW they just look so pretty and organised!! I'm so happy for you to see everything SORTED!! 👏👏👏👏 It must have taken you all day, poor thing!!! Thank-you for another fun video!! So cool to see all those colours in their new homes 😎😎😎
Thank you! 😊 It took so much longer than anticipated but it was really satisfying finishing this task. It's so much easier to find them, lol!
I just poured all my colors last weekend and this weekend I need to get them organized. Im rigging an 18 well Medeen plastic palette with 48 hlf pans in the mixing area and 18 poured into the wells. I have 2 and one will be for purples pinks blues and the other neutrals reds yellows and greens and the 12 pack starter of Qor in the wells. I'm mixing all brands and I may not have enough space. I may have an addiction. I still want those granulating colors and I'll be sure to use your link 😁.
Thank you for the video, Becky, and have a good week.
That sounds like in ingenious solution to fit them all in! I am addicted to collecting paints (and all other art supplies), so I can totally identify with that, lol! Have a great week too :-)
I'm surprised of such a lot of beautiful colors ! And the organization ideas is amazing 😊💕
Thank you! 😊
yay for closing down sales!! 😀 so much lovely paint to use
Another great video, thank you 😊🌸
Thanks for watching!😆
Hats off to you!...You did an amazing job of quite a daunting project....I have the same issue...you have inspired me to "get cracking" thanks Janis
Always the hardest part is getting started, lol! I had put this off for ages but now I am glad they are finally organised. Now my Daniel Smith paints are awaiting the same...guess I will do that too eventually, haha.
Hi Becky! Just wanted to say hello! I'm binging all of your videos! Your collection and passion for watercolours makes me really smile! Thank you 💖☺️
Thank you so much! I sure do love watercolours, lol. Art supplies in general really. 😂
Oh, wow, I need to do the exact same thing with all my Schmincke, Sennelier, and Daniel Smith's. I'm sure it'll take me many days, too. Lovely video - Thanks, Becky!
It's a big job, but a satisfying one! 💜
You can take a screwdriver and lift the rails in the palette, then you have a nice flat surface to hold a ton more pans. The rails are just glued on. Basically you get another row of 13 half pans.
Oh nice, I might need to try pulling a box apart to see of I can make more room. Thanks for the tip!.
I really enjoyed this video! I did a similar exercise recently organising all my paints into palettes - so much work but so satisfying once done 😊 I’ve got some smaller empty tins that I fill with halfpans for specific purposes, like botanicals or my favourites. I make swatches as I go along so these palettes are easy to replicate by just pulling out the colours from the larger tins.
That seems to be quite a popular idea going by some of the comments here! Maybe once I have fully organised my paints I will think of some fun palettes like botanticals and whatnot. Any excuse to swatch paints is a good one, lol. 💜
I believe Schmincke recently released a single new super granulating color called Ocean Grey, so if you don't already have it, it may be just the perfect thing to fill in that extra spot!
Oh is it granulating? I didn't realise that. I would definitely add it to my palette if so! Next time I make an order I might just have to sneak a tube in, lol.
@@BeckyTregear You had me questioning myself, so I double-checked. It is not part of the Super Granulating range, so I'm very sorry for the misinformation! However, it does granulate (contains PB29, PG50, and a black) and has slight separation. The hue would fit right in with the palette, I believe.
@@elvenham1 Haha I just looked too. It would be a very pretty colour to add, so I will keep it in mind. It WOULD have to be a series 4! 😱
I'm drooooling on all your Schmincke! And 8:32 and 15:03 I'm totally in love!!! Never heard of the Schmincke supergranulation and thought DS was the big brand for the granulating colors. Oh yum yum, but goodbye pocketbook!! That was a FUN 20 minutes!!!! 🥰Cheryl
And Becky, a quick comment but if you organized sections on your HOME page rather than just having the Recent Uploads section, when people first landed on your site they would immediately see how deliciously you offered your paint knowledge! Hope this helps you channel, which is AWESOME! And subbed. You're a queen of paints! 🤩🤗💛
Thank you for your lovely feedback! I have been procrastinating about sorting my RUclips page and I really need to get that done! 😂
Schmincke have really started to rival Daniel Smith for their granulation range, and they're amazing quality too! So many delicious paints. 😁💕
@@BeckyTregear Oh yes! I'm currently living in Korea, but those Schmincke and the DS are priced in the cat's meow range! Soon will go to the US to refresh my DS palette ... but now considering some Schmincke joy as well! Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for all the videos you make. I find myself watching them more and more these days. Judging by all the paints you have, you need one of the Fome gargantuan heavy palettes 😂. I think they are about 36 x 18 cm. I have no idea where to get them from, though.
Thank you so much! I've seen a few giant palettes around....also that Robax one, but all of them are impossibly expensive to ship to Australia! 😭
I'll need to do a little reorganization myself once my Schmincke Supergranulating paints arrive.
Great idea, that is what I did too...I waited to get the forest and tundra sets so I could then put everything together. It worked out well! 💜
This has me itching to organise all my watercolour paints now too 🤣
Be prepared to allocate twice the amount of time you think it will take, as this is pretty much what happened to me, lol! Mind you, filming slows things down a bit too.
You got a kings ransom worth of paints there. :D It is a great collection. I can imagine it must be confusing having them all over the place as before you organised them. You need to make some tropical island paintings.... a lot of them... to get all that turquise used up. ;)
So much turquoise! I went a bit overboard during the closing down sales I think, lol. But it is hard to not get excess stuff when it is sooo much cheaper than usual.
@@BeckyTregear I know. I got waaaay too many colours from Rembrandt that way some years ago.
Amazing!!This is so beautiful Artwork👩🎨... enjoyed watching this video feels like therapy ☺️👍#mymouseartgallery
Just so you know, since this video had come out, there's now a Jackson's exclusive Supergranulation set _and_ two as-yet unreleased Supergranulation sets for a total of 40.
Oh yes, I know....it's so annoying! 😂 I am unsure if I will get the rest; making that decision is a Future Becky problem, lol.
Oh my god you have so many paints your so lucky. I cant afford to buy so many. I like the idea of taking the additional tray out. What was the pretty tin on the top right with the very wide palette boxes inside, with the painted outside ?
I was lucky to get many of these on super discount, the only reason I have so many, haha. That palette is by an Australian company, Neef. The store Senior Art Supplies sells them. Mine is colourful because I painted it with alcohol inks, lol. I have an early video decorating it. 😊
I still want to get some new tubes to try like Helio Turquoise, Cobalt Violet Hue and Perylene Green.
I still want to get a 15 ml tube of Cobalt Turquoise to refill my half pan. 💙
The sets of three.. I don't know if they are limited edition sets. I saw them online as a regular set of three and I can't remember what they discribe them.. but these are colors that artist often buy or recommend from Schmincke and they are only available in 15 ml tubes. At least I was reading that about these "mini" sets.
Yes, I made an error saying Limited Edition, when I meant to say Favourites sets....or like they were put in limited edition packaging maybe? I have no idea, haha! I bought them as they were incredibly cheap by comparison to the individual tubes. Helio Turquoise is such a vibrant colour, I love it! They have so many wonderful colours in their range. 💜
Wonderful video! I also need to organize my watercolor half pans. I dont really like organizing them per brand-so I was thinking of organizing them into specialized sets, like; all my basic favs in one set, then maybe a basic mixing set, then a set for botanicals, and then a portrait set and a landscape set...etc...I was also thinking just getting a big pastel box and putting all my half pans in that and just grabbing the ones I want for a painting...I have a mix of over 200+ (could be close to 300 or 350, i haven't counted in a long time) half and full pans of handmade and pro brands -and its an overwhelming amount and Im not sure how to organize them- if you or anyone reading this comment have any suggestions for me, please let me know! Thanks...anyway such a great video! Thanks so much for sharing! Much love♥️💙
There are so many ways to organise paints! 😂 I did have everything mixed together but really I prefer to have things grouped by brand just so then I know which colours I have (it's so hard to keep up with them all). I do really like the idea of filling an entire pastel box with pans and I would consider this in the future, but for now I will just keep my tins. I may well end up decorating all of those, lol. 💜
Love this! I'm just up the road in Colac. I've never ordered from Jackson's, what's their postage time like? Have they been reliable?
They have been pretty good though they had some issues for a while getting new stock in, but postage to Australia has been good. It seems to go on some strange algorithm for pricing, and maybe depending on what and/or how much you buy. Sometimes it's free or a couple of dollars, and then once it was $15! But you can calculate postage before committing to buy. Usually the cheapest is standard tracked mail and it takes about two weeks for things to arrive, in my experience. Oh yes, and once I received something that was broken, I emailed them and they were really great and sent out a replacement free of charge so my experiences with them have been positive.
@@BeckyTregear Thanks Becky, that's great to know! I think I feel an order coming on!
How did hoping there weren’t any more released go for you :-)
What palette are you keeping them in now lol
I have them all, yes ALL, in quarter pans kept in a small near pocket sized palette that perfectly holds 45 quarter pans so you can tuck them into a bag or pocket and have them to add onto any other palette you have with you!
It’s fantastic!
The palette is under $10 on Amazon too if your by chance interested in making a Pocket Sized Super Granulating Palette like me!
Haha yes I have more tubes now but I am saving those to film in the next few months. I'll have to look that palette up online! 😂
@@BeckyTregear it’s made by F Club and is is one of those magnetic eyeshadow/watercolor palettes but it’s absolutely fantastic for quarter pans!
Is that the so-called Spanish Palette on the top left? How did you paint the cover like that? Maybe you have a video about it; I’ll go check.
Found it! That was fast 😄 They’re alcohol inks, for those of you who are wondering.
Ah I know what you are talking about now, haha. Yeah I just decorated that one myself, haha.
19:48 you jinxed it lol
Haha didn’t I just! 😂
Hi. In my country horadam is very expensive. Im using van gogh and i would like to have new watercolor.
Do you think white nights and akademi is the same? (Or akademi much better than white nights)
Ooor should i wait and save money for horadam. I’ll really be happy if you can give me advice.
Thank you sooo much
I haven't used Akademie because I just went straight to Horadam and I don't know how much difference there is. I've used White Nights though, and they are very nice! Do you shop online at all on Jackson's Art? They often have sales on Schmincke Horadam sets, and there's possibly one on this week (at least in Australia) so they may be worth looking into. Personally I'd just go for the Horadam over Akademie and invest in their best ones straight up so you don't buy Akademie and THEN Horadam, if that makes sense. But White Nights is a great option too! Other brands which are awesome are Rosa Gallery and Roman Szmal. These should also be less expensive than Schimincke, and they're both professional quality. Best of luck!
What is that tool you are using to move the paints in the pans as you feel them? I think I need one in my life. 😊
It might be called an etching craft tool if it's the one with the little spatula on one end? They're pretty common in crafting stores, so hopefully you can find one. 🙂
@@BeckyTregear It looked like a long stainless still tool. You were using it to stir the paints in half pans, as you filled them. I don’t think it had a spatula end. It looked pointy to me. I have used a small pin used for sewing type projects for helping load half pans. But your tool looked like a better option. I will keep looking for something similar.
@@MelissaMizzesC Ah, that one! It is a tool for pottery or clay…potter’s needle, something like that. If you search for clay tool needle, it should pop up in the search results. Let me know if you can’t find one and I’ll see if I can find some specific links. 😊
@@BeckyTregear I found it on Amazon! Thank you so much! That will come in handy next time I fill some pans. 😁❤️
The texture of that watercolor paper is really cool! What brand of paper is it?
I'm pretty sure it's Canson Moulin du Roy cold/medium press 300gsm 100% cotton watercolour paper. I cut it down from one of those big sheets and use the off-cuts for swatch cards. For a while they were going to discontinue it but I think it is now still available in the UK and you can hopefully find it at Jackson's Art, who ship worldwide. At least I hope they have it because it is my absolute favourite paper! I am working through my stash, lol.
@@BeckyTregear Thank you so much for responding! I should have specified haha, I was talking about the page that you painted all of the super granulating colors on and then cut up. Do you think that was Canson Moulin du Roy as well?
@@madametj Ohhl I forgot that part, lol! That is cheap watercolour paper, called Arttec Aquademic. I got some pads of it on clearance ages ago for something like $2 each. Arttec is a small Australian company. The paper is surprisingly good too! My final swatches of the supergranulations were on a piece of Moulin du Roy. ☺️
@@BeckyTregear Thanks so much for responding again! Just found your channel yesterday and subscribed :)
Can you compare Rembrandt to Schmincke watercolor paints in pans? I am wondering which is better to purchase since I found them online in a similar price :)
I haven't yet used Rembrandt paints, but I may have found some for Christmas, lol. Mine are tubes though, and I was planning a video for January maybe? I am pretty sure that on another channel, Miranda Watson - Alkali Creek Art she has a set of Rembrandt pans. I can't remember which video but possibly around last Christmas or so? She swatched them and they looked very nice. As good as Schmincke? I don't know yet, and I'll have to find out for myself as well. 😁
@@BeckyTregear Alright, thanks for your opinion :) Do you think a set of 24 or 36 is better for a beginner?
@@adriannamarszal 24 is probably a good start (price wise as well!) and you can get a lot of mixes from a varied set of colours. I mean it will probably expand to more over time, but I think when I first bought some professional paints (Daniel Smith) I had around 16 of them? Then I built up from there and now my collection is much larger, lol.
@@BeckyTregear Thanks for your opinion 😊
I love the way they look, but all the values are roughly the same. It looks difficult to paint anything unless there's lighter values to use.
From the swatches? I was probably painting them with as much mass tone as possible (which I usually do) so they will lighten with dilution and all of that good stuff. 🙂
So satisfying😍 I know the super granulation sets make a weird palette, but theres something so fascinating about them once you swatched them all out and grouped the colors. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about those colors but they’re mystical! You must be tired after all that pouring lol I’d manage to make a huge mess out of trying that! Can’t wait to see the same with Daniel Smiths👀
They are so fascinating, and the granulation is epic. I love the way the colours split from each other, which I think is one of their magical properties. Yes, very tired after sorting those....it took twice as long as I thought it would too, lol.
What is your favorite watercolor?
It's so hard to choose because I love them all, haha! I think Sennelier is still my favourite, but then Schmincke, Daniel Smith, M.Graham......😱😂
@@BeckyTregear thanks
