Schmincke Naturals Watercolors | Unboxing and First Painting

Post-edit Bri: I now see videos of others painting with these paints, so I apologize if I caused offense. When I first obtained these a few weeks ago, I hadn't seen any yet, but I fell super behind on art and RUclips. I can't wait to catch up and see what everyone else did with them :)

Trying out the new Schmincke Naturals paints. These are Schmincke's new vegan lineup of paints made exclusively from earth pigments and plant resins/extracts. Please note that these are not standard watercolors and have unique behaviors and less saturated colors due to the origin of their pigments. They are also quite pricey. I am listing the colors below because I absolutely butchered their names.
Plant Pigments Set:
- Curcuma (NY3)
- Madder Lake (NR9) (Alizarin Crimson, my baby)
- Indigofera (NB1)
- Dyer's Green (NB1, NY3)
- Stil de Grain (NY13)
Natural Earth Set:
- Celadonite (PG23)
- Yellow Ochre (NY43)
- Lalvarit Violet (Pigment not registered)
- Caucasus Earth (PG23)
- Green Slate (PBk19)
More information on each pigment is on their site: www.schmincke....
I plan to perform my own lightfastness testing - I will update here once I have more information.

"Why did I buy this? ... No self-control..." LMAO 😂. I have the same disease. I bought the full set as soon as I saw NEW and SCHMINCKE. Trying them out myself. I also just succumbed to buying 30 new gouache from the new colors of the Daniel Smith line. Work Bonuses and money from Etsy shop mean I added to the economy. SMH 😅

[@briwidmerart]

🤣 Thank you for understanding me 💙 I have resisted the urge on the Daniel Smith gouache so far, but that was super difficult! But major congratulations on work bonus plus Etsy sales!!

[@wynngwynn]

if youtubers who pretty much only do reviews/unboxings/etc sponsorships I tend to unsub because I don't want to support that for sure. If a channel is mostly painting then I'm ok with it.

[@briwidmerart]

I've been lucky that the artists I follow focus more on the painting side. I encounter it more when looking up new products I haven't seen yet.

[@moonlightgator]

No way I am buying this. I just dislike the hipped items especially when you know the properties are not great. I work hard for my money. So no thank you Schminke.

[@briwidmerart]

A perfectly acceptable response 😆 This product really does feel like it's targeted for paint hoarders and pigment nerds alone.

[@wynngwynn]

@@briwidmerart 90 percent of art youtube is just hoarding lol. Hardly anyone actually paints or draws with the stuff besides swatching lmao. I keep trying to find more channels that focus on the painting but everyone is just BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY. It's nice to see when people actually put the stuff to use and don't toss it to the side to be forgotten in a 'stash'.

[@briwidmerart]

Must please the great algorithm 😆 I know I have way more than I need but I do try to rotate through my supplies and share with friends. The stash bums me out. Must give the stash love.
