Unfortunately a lot of brands are simply repackaging the same product. Sometimes with a different box or palette but the same exact paint. Makes it tough for people shopping. I almost got taken advantage of by Etchr but realized they just flipped a couple of colors around (it's Paul Rubens).
Yeah i agree to that. Wow, i didn't know that Etchr is a repacked Paul Rubens. Hmm. Thanks for sharing the info. I also saw some paul Rubens Sets in full pans with exact color selection and format as Sonnet. Like repacking is so rampant.
@@justacatwhocantype just about everything they sell is repackaged (and marked up tremendously) asian import. The paper is baohong, the "mirror" can be found for about $10 on amazon from multiple distributors.
I think Paul Rubens repack also. They're watercolor papers are so "similar" to Baohong's. Thefrugalcrafter(a youtuber) reviewed a Paul Ruben's watercolor set and they were white knights'. I found some interesting paints in Artbar called "Phoenix watercolor". I traced the numbers in the tubes and they were the same with Maries Chinese watercolor. The pan version was the same with Maries HP. Repacking is a plague that makes decision making so much harder.
I have not tried PR's paper to compare to Baohong, but there's a chance they're repacking it since both are China Made. But Paul Rubens Watercolor being white Nights? I'm not sure. Base price of White Nights is more expensive as compared to Paul Rubens. Also comparing the 2 paint brands, theyre different especially the pans. White Nights remain sticky but Paul Rubens doesnt. Just nicely rewettable. 😉 as per Phoenix and Maries, yes, that could be true.
Thank you for your hard work reviewing different products for your viewers, your reviews are by far the most thorough ones I've watched. Amazing channel!
thanks Kez. di ko lang po sure kung sino sa kanila ang nauna. pero surely, gawa sila ng MagiWap form China. Oddly, mas maganda ang 2 ito kaysa sa MagiWap Basics watercolors.
I think even the prices are pretty much the same. I couldn't find information on Berkeley but I did find something about Art Ranger. They're under the Chinese company Magi-Wap. Art ranger is supposed to be their child friendly brand but they supposedly make other paints that are professional grade. I wouldn't know, I never tested them myself.
Yes. That's what i also found and shared on about Art Ranger on my Art Ranger review. Im curious about their pro grade. But i cant find it here in my place.
So they're both repackaged of Magi-Wap huh? I think they both have the label that is "Made in China" which maybe they're repackaged with the same brand. Also, salamat kaayo sa info.
Thank you Chris. 😊🙏🎨 Maybe once I've reviewed a hundred sets, I'd make a flip through video of these swatches and sample paintings. I think, i currently have around 60. 😊🙏
I didnt know there are more watercolor brands you didnt review them, i buy daler rony aquafine 300 gsm watercolor paper but when i open the cover i see the papers are yellow not white maybe they sell me an old sketchbook dont know how many years they have it for the papers became yellow
Yeah, i still have more to review, and it's also crazy how manufacturer endlessly develop and create more products. 😊🎨 That is sad to hear. That's probably an old stock and is not very well maintained or not acid free.. 😑
hi po sir allan ! sana ma-review niyo po yung seamiart 12 colors watercolor set (morandi/candy/ocean/skin). i've been thinking of purchasing it kaso baka po chalky, you're the only youtuber i trust when it comes to reviews. 😭😭 sana mabasa niyo po ito ! thank you, stay safe and god bless po sir !
hmmm. hello. Thank you po. :) I think nakita ko yan sa Shopee. nasa cart ko pa nga yata. haha. kaya ko lang di pa binibili is because may hinala ako na derived lang ung mga 12 colors from the bigger set.. but, yes, I need to find out. (kaya nga kailangan i-review) hahaha. let's see kung payagan ng budget pa. :)
Hi allan. Would you review the miya himi watercolour? Ive heard about it being better than superior while affordable. Almost ran out of my superior and thinking about replacement. If you would be so kind to preview it for us! :)
Is that the miya himi solid watercolors in perfume like container? I reviewed the 18 colors. Performance is almost like superior, even actually bit better. But price is 3x . 😑 ruclips.net/video/AObGFM-V7-g/видео.html
Hello po. Sobrang late na ng reply ko pero sana useful parin. Ito po ung video ko ng nga brushes ko. Hope you could check it out. ruclips.net/video/NoxnVQVPLJg/видео.html
Kuya, pedeng pa advice?...... May bibilhin po ako na gusto kong gawing watercolor palette..... Advice nyo naman ako ng magagandang colors.... Mga 42 colors po.....advice nyo ng mga best colors....... Mahilig po pala ako sa greens🙂....
Hello, rden? mga 42 colors ba ang kailangan ko issuggest din? hahaha. hmm. kung artist grade yung bibilhin mo, i suggest puwede mo siya i-base sa top 40 pigments ng handprint. may video ako non, paki check nalang sa comments in that video yung top40 colors. so 2 colors nalang. hahaha. sa greens kasi, gusto lagi nagmimix. gusto ko yung very dark na perylene green or shadow green. tapos mix with yellow. gusto ko rin ang sap green and serpentine genuine ng DS.
@@AllanJayQuesada I guess that one is professional grade. I want you to try the other one, it's not too pricey. From what I remember, the box is red and soft yellow color. Is it available in your country?
@@AllanJayQuesada okay okay na po kuya..... Medyo bumalik na pang amoy at panglasa namin...... Probable mild case kami.... Haha.....antay nlng ng ilang test na negative result
@@AllanJayQuesada sorry late reply kuya... Pinapanood ko iba mong vids eh...... Di pa po kami bakunado kasi me comorbidity po eh tsaka baka me underlying deseases kami.... Cguro papacheck up po muna. I research din po about sa vaccines, me mga hindi pa nirireveal yung mga company na about sa vaccines nila so wait po muna ako cguro 6 months para lumabas yung side effects nung mga vaccines since trial pa lang po yan😊
Should have watched some of these vids before buying. IMO these are some of the worst watercolor paints I have ever used. You can get much better quality for roughly the same price, like e.g. Giorgione.
@luismanblog yes, there lots of better choices with good price. As for Giorgione, i have only reviewed one, the one that's cake and it was bad and chalky. I heard other giorgione sets were better.. i guess they don't manufacture their own, but rather buys from other manufacturers and rebrand it.. that's why they're not consistent.
@@AllanJayQuesada I just got 2 sets of 24 colors, 12ml, one from Giorgione and one from Art Rangers via Lazada. About the same price. Made the swatch pads and Giorgione is so, so, so much better, especially the lighter colours.
@@AllanJayQuesada hala sir kung may afford lang sana ako na product mo dun huhu😭 pag-iipunan ko muna sir haha pero na-save ko na ang screenshot na to for future purposes 😂 thank you sir God bless. More videos to uploaddddd
Nice to see a new review! I hope you have been well:)
Hi Lindsay. 😉 Yeah, been busy on a watercolor project these past weeks. Everything is well. Happy painting. 🙏🎨😊

Agreed. I almost got cheated by giorgione and seamiart for the same case as the superior. Need to look at the box itself, not just the case.
I think Paul Rubens repack also. They're watercolor papers are so "similar" to Baohong's. Thefrugalcrafter(a youtuber) reviewed a Paul Ruben's watercolor set and they were white knights'.

Yo, long time no see. Keep on rocking.
yeah! i'm back to rock again! :)
I was so confused about this too. They were identical except for the packaging.
yeaahh. I wish they tweaked it more a bit.hehe
Yung nabili kung reeves sobrang dry sa tude tapos hindi na mi-mix sa water ng maayos!!! Normal lang ba to?
Dapat hindi po ganon.. but in my experience kasi sa Reeves , hindi rin siya tlaga consistent..
Thank for this review . Stay well !
Thanks, will do! Keep safe too. :)
Can you do some light fastness tests on all your watercolor collections?
that is a dream I'd like to do asap, but i need more time as that task requires weeks of swatching. hehe. but yes, im gonna do that for sure, in time.
bossing. pwede nyo marevieaw o malaman kung ano Gamit na watercolor ni Misulbu? thanks in advance
Hi sorry late reply ko. Hanggang ngayon iniisip ko parin yan.haha. pero feeling ko Mission Gold. 😊
In hope you can consider brand romanzs or renesans someday in Philippin not easy to get
I have the Romanz Smal but the Renesans, I can't find a source yet. Will review Romanz Smal soon. 🙏🎨😊
