- I think the last time I swatched my Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors I only had about 8 or 9 paints.
Since then, due to crazy cheap sales, my collection has grown quite a bit.
So now it's time to swatch my full collection.

I love my Mijello paints. I have nearly all of their pure pigments, only missing a couple. I don’t think they are too bright at all, but I like to paint a lot of flowers as well as landscapes. Their PR122 Permanent Magenta is the best, and a fabulous mixing color for botanicals. just pay attention to the pigment numbers, ignore their naming. A lot of Asian manufacturers use the Cerulean, Viridian names for the phthalos. Also When Mijello uses a #1 or #2 in the name, the #1 is a mix, #2 is a pure pigment. The first professional palette I got was their 24 pan set, and it introduced me to PY150 and PBr25. Two colors I cannot live without. I have their PBr29, which is is very unusual. Its an almost black brown, but very dull. It reminds me of hematite. Winsor Newton did a limited edition run of that pigment they called Chromium black. My bit of Mijello PBr29 that I put on a palette over a year ago has never dried. It crawled out the other day when I didn’t have it flat. I think it might just be my tube, but be forewarned.
I love my Mijello paints too. Especially the PBr25 Red Brown. Such a lovely color.
I've been interested in trying the PBr29 but I'm not sure how useful I would find it.
I bought the dot cards which have the entire Mijello range of watercolors, which you can see on my IG. Generous big dots, really love them. I really can't understand why people complain about them being too bright other than perhaps they were using Mijello watercolors in their mass tones, which perhaps isn't the best way to use these paints. Otherwise, mixed with water, I find them beautiful and vibrant without being too bright. Their colors are pleasant to look at and make me happy.
I love your videos! They are very relaxing. I'm glad you started the voice over, you have a very pleasant voice!
Aw thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
I love your videos!! Such a great swatching video! QORS hookers green is really pretty and Viridian-genuine Viridian can be really beautiful-it just depends on the brand. I really like Da Vincis Viridian and I like M Grahams Viridian as well. Thanks for sharing, great video. Much love💙🧡❤
You're welcome. Thank you for watching. I really want to try QOR watercolors sometime but they're just so expensive.
Just bought the Mijello Pure Pigment set of 24 + 2 colors and i absolutely love it!♥️ New subscriber here!🙂 Your voice is so relaxing.
Hi. Thank you for watching and commenting. That's great that you love the pure pigment set. What kind of things do you like to paint? Do you find the paints too bright for painting landscapes?
@@JayNathanWatercolor i swatched them and tried mixing some colors. They are so vibrant and truly bright. I did not tested them yet for painting because I am waiting for a palette so that i can make my own palette. I think with the knowledge about color mixing or the color theory, using them in landscape or portrait can be easy by muting some colors using their complementary colors. I started landscape painting using watercolor and I am in love with this medium. I am investing for better quality paper because I am currently using fabriano (25 percent cotton). Personally, I can not even identify what i love to paint because when i started portrait painting, i love doing it more often than landscape painting. Hope you have a wonderful day!
I am from Philippines so better art supplies are hard to find and expensive if bought in online stores. Sorry for the english :'
thanks for the searching , and the info on these .. i'm definitely on overload with my watercolor inventory lol, but i do love watching the colors go down .. thanks again .. norakag 👍👍
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Thanks for the swatches! Got the 24 pure pigment set 4 years ago as my first artist-grade watercolor tubes. Not a fan of their earth tones at all, PBr25 is great though. When I want smooth and flat washes or smooth and vibrant reds I tend to use this brand :) I don't have Cobalt Black but it looks very beautiful and useful for texture and mixes.
The earths are definitely their weak point. I still haven't seen any explanation of why they decided to create their weird mixes for basic pigments such as burnt sienna and light red. I guess they just wanted to do something different?
Cobalt black is very nice though I don't really use it in any paintings. I'll have to experiment more with it.
Thanks for sharing your opinions on these. Yesterday I got the 24 15ml tubes actually 26 with the 7ml or 8ml ( can't remember) of white and black pure pigment set. I got them on a super good deal, that's really the only reason I bought them. They're single pigments, I believe they're all light fast?, and artist quality. Getting them each for $2 something per tube I just had to. I know I'd hate myself for not getting them lol. They go for over $100. I'm not sure why they went on super cheap sale but they did. Anyway, have a great day
You should try scarlet lake over vermillion, it’s single pigment and i believe is the traditional “French vermillion” pigment
Very impressive😍👍🤩
Thank you 🙏😊
Nice swatching video. I enjoyed it, especially watching you swatch a few MG colors I don't have. Their "Viridian" is a pretty blah color - Daniel Smith Pthalo Green Blue Shade is gorgeous, much more vivid with more depth by comparison.
Mission Gold Dark Burnt Sienna? I've never seen that one - I just checked on Jackson and Blick, neither list it. Where did you get it? I want some!
Thank you very much and thanks for watching.
I wonder if Mijello has deliberately weakened the PG7 so it more resembles viridian?
I got the Dark Burnt Sienna here in Thailand. I think it might be one of the newer colors so maybe hasn't been stocked outside of Asia yet? I would not recommend it though unless you only plan to use it fresh from the tube each time?
True Genuine Viridian PG18 is a low tinting, non staining granulating color- which has its benefits depending on your piece. I really like Da Vincis Viridian and M Grahams Viridian is good too:) happy painting.
no ending questions?! what am i supposed to answer then?! lol, jk. hmm, i have like 15+ mijello colours on my to-buy list when it goes on sale next, not in a rush ;P i only have rembrandt's viridian and i don't think you'll like it. it's hard to rewet AND low-tinting; granulation isn't apparent either. seems like rembrandt is the most low-tinting compared to other brands as well.
Haha I was getting sick of hearing my own voice so I ended it before asking any questions.
15+ colors? Are any of the ones in this video on that list?
From your description of the Rembrandt Viridian I don't think I would like it. I don't particularly like greens from a tube anyway so if I also have to struggle with reweting it, and it being a weak mixer, it'll definitely be a no from me.
@@JayNathanWatercolor the cobalt blue no.2 and vandyke brown. sometimes ultramarine blue can get boring and other cobalt blues are pricey. 555
@@PaintinHiding Yes ultramarine is boring for me too but very useful as a mixing color.
Viridian made by Da Vinci is really nice in my opinion and M Grahams is nice too tho its less granulating then Da Vinci.
I just love true viridian. In mixes, `cause it granulates, as well as by itself, because it`s a lovely blue green shade, not as vibrant as PG7, much less than Mijello`s PG7, I`d say ))
That sounds great. I think I would like a granulating green. I have heard it isn't easy to rewet once it dries?
@@JayNathanWatercolor it can be hard to rewet in certain brands. Roman Szmal is fairly easy, but M. Graham makes the absolute best PG18. Super vibrant, soft, and easy to rewet with subtle granulation.
@@LaMaquilleuse99 Thank you. I've not tried any M Graham paints yet but I'll remember that one for the future. 🙏
Schmincke's Viridian rewets well, too!
@@libbyandbrianbundrick3270 Thank you for the tip 🙏
I like some colours but prefer single pigments for mixing
Thanks so much for sharing this large swatching video as I find them to be so relaxing . I wish the Mijello Gold were as inexpensive here in the US. You have a great collection. Im sorry if I missed it, but are you using a large Baohong CP paper for this? Ive been meaning to tell your something, but cant find the video & thread. Some of my Roman Szmal pans were sticky on arrival. Stay safe.
Hi. Yes I was using a 1/4 sheet of Baohong Academy 300gsm which was cut down from a full sheet.
Nothing to say about PG7... I prefer Cobalt Green Deep over Viridian. But some of the Mission Gold watercolors are quite nice. If you pour the Phthalo Blue into a pan or a palette it has to sit there for over a week. It's just the formula.. it needs a lot of time to dry.
What pigment is cobalt green deep?
@@JayNathanWatercolor I think it's PB36.
@@Christine_R Thank you 🙏
I only have a few Mijello tubes in my collection. My current favourite is the Manganese Blue (though I prefer the DS version). Maybe it's just me but Mijello paints are just too bright. Do you use it often for landscape? Nice colour swatching. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome. Thank you for watching. I don't usually buy paints that have white mixes in them but that manganese blue must be great for skies? Maybe I should give it a try.
I do use them for landscapes sometimes but recently I've been using the Mijello for florals.
@@JayNathanWatercolor Yes, mostly skies but can mix decently with other colours at times. 😂
@@marcb6444 I might try it next time Mijello is on sale here 😊
😍👋
I just watch your video about Lukas paint. It seems to me that this brand is much more transparent and vibrant compared to Lukas
Yes Mijello is definitely more transparent and vibrant than the Lukas.
Hey Jay! I dialed up this video cause I finally just bought my first Mission Gold. The 24 pure pigments set has been on an irresistible sale on Amazon in the US, coming out to just 2.50 a tube. And then darn Lindsay The Frugal Crafter did a nice video on the changes to the set and it put me over the edge. But what's been annoying to me is I've heard someone rave about the Indanthrone and it only comes in the larger set which is not a very good value by comparison. So I paid through the nose for it at Jacksons LOL. Also bought the Cherry red since I love PR 209 so much and the set apparently now comes with PR 207. Let's see if their PR 207 is better than Qor's - I was not much impressed.
Interestingly, I notice that although my set won't come with the Burgundy Red, they've changed the name on that to Perelyne Maroon. Never thought I'd see the day when MG changed a paint name to something that made MORE sense. Anyway, I love my M. Graham so much I had to try these, and will feel free to paint big from the tube since they are so inexpensive!
How often do you actually use this brand? I would LOVE to see more demonstrations from artists using this brand
I used them quite often in the past. Probably my second most used brand after Rembrandt. I've been a bit distracted by all the new paints that got sent to me so I haven't been using them recently.
One artist that I know uses this brand is Amit Kapoor
Whats the different between Mijello vs Holbein?
Holbein is Japanese and Mijello is Korean. I personally like Holbein more than Mijello just because I prefer the colors. They have some similarities though. Both of them are highly pigmented artist grade paints. Neither of them are very active when painted wet in wet and both of them have (or had in the past) some fugitive pigments in some of their mixes.
Holbein is more expensive (at least outside of Japan) but if they were equal price I would definitely choose Holbein.
@@JayNathanWatercolor You're a big help, thankyou😊
