Anyone else just love it when Lindsay talks color to us? 😉😜😂
😂😂😂Yes!!! I’m fascinated every time. She’s the best.
Awww:)
Yep! I always learn something new!
A artist who receives nice gifts from fans,comes from the heart.Your the greatest artist on RUclips Lindsay,thank you so much for sharing,we learn a lot from you.👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The "leaf person" is a Korok, is a character from Legend of Zelda. In Game they also call them "forest children" so You where pretty close
Cool, I don't play games so I didn't know:)
Oh my goodness, lucky you! Those paints are gorgeous. I’ve never tried handmade watercolors because they’re price prohibitive. But these! Fromthe paint to the lovely palette, simply beautiful.
Thanks! I am very lucky!
@@thefrugalcrafter
And also very gracious. I never feel uncomfortable watching your hauls or reviews.
So happy to see a review on Mashas paints!!! She one of my favorite handmade watercolor makers. I’ve never bought a color that isn’t amazing!! I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!
Thanks!
I'm so glad you like the paints! I am head over heels over her mixes. I love that she includes pigment info (vivianite is actually a natural pigment, btw). When I approached Masha about a collab to send you paints, I specifically asked for a granulating set. The ones in the palette are her granulating best sellers. I also tried to make sure you were getting pigments I don't usually see you use in any videos (I've binge watched enough to have an idea of what you usually have on hand). The swatching is fun but where you see the magic is in actual full paintings as you will soon find out! 🤗🤗 Also, Masha and I had a huge (very friendly) debate going on for a few days. Now that you have the palette, which color do you like best so far from the swatches: Peach or Turquoise Violet? Also, if you had to pick two out of Peach, Flame and Turquoise Violet, which would you pick as good choices to use in addition to the others in the palette?
Ack! I can't pick yet! Let me do a painting first! :)
You amaze me … you have talked about the large collection of paints you have many times. Yet you rattle off the pigments and compare them all like you’re a chemist! What a memory you have !
Thank you!
$170 price point is quite steep. At that price point you can buy Schminke, Daniel Smith, etc and some brushes and paper too. Not sure it's worth it but it certainly is unique and fun.
You shure got that right!
and in terms of actual color varieties, the swatches are pretty but I don't think the colors themselves are that unique. DS has a lot of similar looking clones. I am talking Mayan Blue, Undersea Green, etc. and we know the quality of DS, Schminke, Mt Graham and all those top tier paints is exceptional, there is no guesswork there so the fact that these are even more expensive than those is quite shocking. I suppose it is difficult for a small business to compete with them so I get that but that is quite a lot of money.
@@FriendlySeal I agree with you, I also noticed since granulating paints are popular the price hike on some brands from China. I think it's Vision on Amazon the price is ridiculous.
Handmade paint is time consuming and expensive to make as they use the same pigments as the famous companies but they don't get the quantity discounts that DS or Schminke would. I tried making watercolor once and discovered it was a lot of work 😆 and I'd rather paint. The palettes are made by hand and are beautiful. My husband is a woodworker so i know the skills and tools you need. It's a luxury item for sure but I doubt any handmade watercolor artisan is making a ton of money from their labors. You should always choose the supplies that meet your needs and budget but things made by hand are always more expensive than machine made. Sweaters for instance.
@@thefrugalcrafter I do realize how much work goes into creating your own paint I have done it myself. I also have a bit of hand made paints that I love and will always purchase. My staples are M. Graham,Daniel Smith and Qor the hand made are my special colors. My husband is a carpenter 40 years so indeed I do know how much work goes into wood working etc. What they say is true they work so hard on their contracts your own house never gets done lol.
I adore this seller on etsy! Her paints are all granulating and soo gorgeous! I had never tried homemade paints before, I figured why fall in love with something that might not be able to be duplicated..but her paints are worth it, not just granulating but also usually a second color, very special.
I just ordered a bunch of her dots and I love them so much that I am going to order her half pan set! They are so unique and beautiful!!!
I just went to the website and couldn't find the dot samples. What do you type to search for them? Please and thank you.
Do you know the lightfastness on this paints?
Love me some bougie watercolors 🥰 and her packaging is soooo nice! This is absolutely what you ask for someone to gift you!
Ive bought watercolors from Mashas Etsy shop several times. I have several of her beautiful cobalt turquoise and green colors(they are beautiful) i also have some of her fugitive specialty mixes- that are super fun to use in sketchbooks. O and PY40 is Cobalt Yellow which is a fugitive color, so make sure to paint only in your sketchbook when using colors with PY40- bc PY40 color doesnt fade but it darkens to a muddy grey color. But still fun to use in sketchbooks!:)
Lastly BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY!!--- WE LOVE WATCHING SWATCHES PAINTED OUT!! Yes i know it may sound like its borning BUT its not!! Im confident in saying most art youtube video watchers LOVE watching art haul or new palette and/or paint being swatched out!! So anytime you have new paint we'd LOVE to watch you actually swatch them out!! A lot of Art RUclipsrs really capitalize on this and their entire channel or about half of their channel is just swatching: swatching their favorite art supplies for that month and/or swatching their paints and palettes---its super popular and the videos with swatching always gets lots of views and lovely comments...So please dont be hesitant and shy--swatch for us, most of us LOVE it and want it!! Lol. Sorry, to get a little crazy, Im passionate about swatching. 😆 🤣 lol. Anyway such a great video, thanks for sharing. Much love!!
Also Vivianite is a mineral- like malachite- malachite is a mineral too. So when you get a paint that says Vivianite or Malachite Genuine they are real mineral paints (but not like Daniel smiths primatek "real" mineral paints). So you know how PY42 is the synthetic version of PY43.. So PR101 is the synthetic version of PR102- its a pretty popular pigment used in professional watercolor brands like Daniel Smith and Roman Szmal...Tho PR102 and PR101 to me, look and act the same and are interchangeable. Anyway hope this helps. 😄
It does, thanks!
Ah yes areoleon yellow, I forgot about that because I no longer use it. Thanks!
What a thoughtful gift! I enjoyed watching and listening to your enthusiasm! Preparing for a winter blast of ice and up to 18 inches of snow. Unusual for Indiana. And here I am confines after emergency surgery. Home, safe and being well taken care. My children are amazing!!
Oh no! I hope it wasn't too serious! Im so glad your kids are there to look after things as you recover. Take it easy and I hope you get better soon!
Masha's paints are some of my favorites!!! It is so nice to see her get some air time with you!! You were the first intro to watercolors for me a few years ago, thank you for the fun honest energy you bring to all of us.
Beautiful little palette! I love the vintage floral magnet top. The colors are gorgeous and love that they all granulate! Looking forward to seeing you use them and seeing how they mix. That cobalt green!😍 Thanks for sharing Lindsay!
Ah Lindsay, those are spectacular granulating colors… you are causing my want monster to awake from its winter slumber. 🤩🥰🤣👍🏾 thank you Masha and Rosie! Thanks Lindsay for swatching those babies!!
Wow! That is lovely paint. Thank you for showing this new handmade paint. Beautiful paints. I love handmade watercolor paints.
Masha's Watercolors are wonderful! I've bought handmade watercolors from a number of different etsy sellers and they're all great but I think her paints are my favorite. It helps that she's generous with sample dots, too. Just a great person to buy from.
What a lovely gift from both ladies! I like that you showed us swatching them. I learned more about watercolor. Thank you! 🌺
Have a cheerful...not crabby day! 😜
Will do!
Stunning colors. I don’t watercolor but I decided to watch your videos and it taught me how to color mix -a concept that alluded me for years.
So happy to help! Nice to see you here again Danee!
I was on the fence about granulated watercolors but after seeing these, I will have to add some to my stash. I was particularly impressed by the dark gray dot with pink undertones. Great for flower petals.
Those colors are gorgeous! And the whole palate--what a beautiful work of art itself! What a special gift! I really appreciate you going over the colors and showing how they act! I will be checking out both shops for future purchases!
Such lovely watercolors! I would never buy anything like this for myself, I know I would not use it, I'd always worry about running out or making it look less pretty. But it's such a nice gift and the colors are gorgeous. I LOVE the granite!
Oh and PY40 is cobalt yellow I think.
It is when you use the lovely stuff and get to know it that it makes a lovely difference. It is very pleasant to try lovely stuff. I encourage you to try some lovely stuff.
You are right! It's not a color I use so I completely forgot the pigment code.
I am gonna have to get some. I love that blue/purple one. Lindsay, you know so much about pigments just by sight. Amazing. I can't even remember my phone number half the time.
These are Gorgeous ! I wish I could get them. Beautiful
Oooooo, ahhhhh, drooool! I'm so happy for you Lindsay. Exciting.🥰
This was fun! I love that the colors granulated without adding a black pigment.
I love watching you swatch new watercolors, Lindsay! That palette is beautiful and perfect! thank you, Lindsay, for sharing the opening with us.
Wow , love this little palette , the colors are so pretty and the ceramic part on the inside is so clever xoxo
So stunning. I would be tempted to buy them just for the box lol. The paint colours are stunning. What a stunning gift. X
After this comment I am going to check out her Etsy shop...those colors are amazing especially that blue second row second paint in...love it...I look forward to seeing you create with a painting with it...never feel bad about sharing a gift it opens viewers up to what is out there and made by hand...HUGS from Nova Scotia where we can tell the days are getting longer
Im ready for longer days!
I love watching you swatch! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who goes, “Oh, that’s pretty!” But really, paint is so pretty.
Those are beautiful colors, thank you for sharing them with us.
I have a few Iuile handmade watercolor pans and dots. Love them and will definitely be checking Masha’s shop out. Loved this video and agree that wooden box is so cute and creative.
What a beautiful, unique pallette! That was a nice gift. The colors are really pretty and I liked your explanation of the granulation. It will be nice to see how you use them. Thanks for sharing this.
Well you won't have long to wait! I filmed 3 landscapes today with them and I hope to post the video tomorrow! I really like them and they work great with my other watercolors!
Love the box with the paints, it is so pretty and the colors are beautiful! Yep i want!! LOL
Wow, they are beautiful! I can't wait to see what you create!
Thanks for the review Lindsay. These look beautiful and interesting in their granulation. Hope they are able to restock as they are sold out of this pallet and the sample pallet. ✨💞🤗💞✨
Oh wow! Good for them:)
Oh my goodness these are beautiful watercolours. I love the colours and how they shift, granulate and even separate. Thank you so much for sharing, Lindsay.
And for everyone who looked at the red named Peach. Georgia Peaches are red! I think it's a southern thing. Many don't know that and they look for the orange peach. These looked so pretty. Great job Lindsay.
I can those peaches with the skin on, and it always makes such a beautiful color
Thanks for doing this. I will stick with my Daniel Smith. I would use a color or two, especially if they were free. 😇
PY40 is a cobalt color, called aureolin in many brands including DS and WN. It’s pretty fugitive.
Thanks for the awesome swatch video =)
It depends on who makes it! Check the color book!
@@bcarithers22 In watercolour it's always fugitive, had none in my tests, that would last. It also changes pretty quickly to a brown/ochre colour.
Bless you Lyndsey , I am a bit late , but thoroughly enjoyed learning listening and very grateful for the kind gift you received sharing hand made watercolors in a Georgous portable customized wooden box * Thanks to Rosie for spoiling you and leading this wonderful creator and her husband to your mailbox with such a wonderful handmade gift idea :)
Can’t wait to see you paint something using these paints… 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I posted 3 landscapes done with them a week ago:)
I love the magnet pans! I lost watercolors when I dropped my box of paints and the pans flew everywhere! Under cars, in a sewer drain, in a muddy pot hole, etcetera! If I had the magnetic pans, I doubt that I would have lost most of my paint!
Such pretty colours and I love the presentation, that box is gorgeous.
Oh, that was so enjoyable! Watching the beautiful colors come to life was just what I needed. Thanks for sharing your lovely gift.
I just ordered some paints from this seller! I'm still waiting for them, but I'm SUPER excited!! 😁 I REALLY want to get one of her boxes as well at some point. The purple heart wood looks amazing!
It does!
@@thefrugalcrafter I received my first order a couple days ago and I LOVE them! My second order is waiting at the post office, I'll be picking it up tomorrow! I've been talking to Masha and I'll be ordering my palette in the purple heart wood soon! 😁
These paints are lovely! What an awesome gift! I'm afraid I'm going to have to check these out :) Lindsay, you never brag! You're all about the information and we love it!
Aww, thank you:)
Those paints are very nice, I will be buying the water color palette, and a few dots.
Amazing. Beautiful watercolors and palette.
What a gorgeous box! Such interesting colours too, and that turquoise light dot card is really pretty. ❤️
Stunning colours and a lovely review. Thanks Lindsay
That was really fun to watch, and there's no way anyone could say you were "bragging"! 😁 I'm really looking forward to seeing you do a painting with those beautiful colors.
I’m so glad you do these reviews! I’d rather support small business any day over big box. If I know of good small businesses with quality products, I’ll always think of them first when shopping.
These colors are delightful. This is a fantastic gift idea. Thank you for sharing your surprise gift with us!
Thanks for sharing. This is really unique, beautiful and functional! You’re not bragging, you are sharing and promoting an independent artisan!
I am across the state in Safford Arizona where we have all four seasons. We are currently in winter. Mount Graham is snow capped. In the valley we get below freezing (sometimes into teens or twenties) overnight. We warm into the 50s or 60s during the afternoon. We are arid most of the year but humid in late summer during monsoon season.
Holy moly. That is definitely the fanciest watercolors. The packaging is absolutely gorgeous on its own, but the paints are holy moly. I love buying watercolors from Etsy stores just to try them out. There are some really cute, unique ones out there, but I have to say this is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. Wow. I’m drooling. *goes to Etsy store because I have no self control* 😂
😆
It is gorgeous. Of course you are sharing not bragging. I’m thankful you shared these with us.
Beautiful pallette. Great idea about the labels. Wished I had known before I ripped all mine off. Lol. Thank you for sharing
Wow so pretty and what a beautiful gift ! And see she knew u would appreciate it sooo much !
What a beautiful set of water colors. The box is amazing.
I ordered some of the samples! Marsha is out of some of those cute color boxes but I’m going to keep checking back as she’s making more! Love these!!!
Masha's watercolors are one of my absolute favorite handcrafted makers - her granulation is absolutely beautiful! I have all of her pigments so far, and one of her wood palettes, and she is just the best to work with. If anyone is wondering if they should try her paints or not - you will NOT be disappointed!
PS - I don't know if anyone already said it (there are so many comments!) Vivianite is a mineral color.
Beautiful paints! I'm glad you got happy mail to cheer you up on a cold winters day.
The pallet is sold out 😢 I cannot wait to purchase one for myself ❤️ Thank you for sharing this beautiful gift with us, Lyndsay .
Beautiful colors. The granulated paints are wonderful.
Wow! Those are pretty! What a sweet fan. 💕
Oh my gosh! How beautiful! This was so satisfying to watch. Thanks for sharing the beautiful swatches!
I'm not into granulating colors (botanicals), but I found this review and her colors quite interesting. Thanks for sharing your gift with us. I'm glad I didn't miss this demonstration. 😊💐
The dog cracks me up. What a cutie patootie.
Masha is sold out, communicated with her today she will have more of these grandulated watercolors next week. Thank you Lindsay, always a pleasure to catch your videos.
A beautiful pallet. I am sold ! Love those colors. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤🤗
Hullo Lindsay, I have avoided handmade paints for about 20 years. I did make my own watercolors before that and I had problems with lightfastness. I did break down and use some from AGallo Paints from Italy. I was asked to do an evaluation for a friend, she was going to buy supplies for a weekend retreat and wanted to purchase several palettes of paint for her ”campers” I mention only these as they were the very best that I have ever tried, from a handmade creator! I enjoyed watching you play with these exceptional paints. The palette is truly lovely! The clacking of the magnets was so FUN!
The clack is so satisfying!
Omg what a beautiful set. Defiantly going to write these down on my wish list.
I can't wait to see what you create with these. I happen to love the look and magic of granulating watercolors, have several, and admittedly haven't played with them yet. Please share, I really learn a lot from you Lindsay. Congrats on gift!
Will do!
I literally came across these paints randomly for the first time last night completely by random chance so its crazy they popped up on your channel just now
Fate!
Gorgeous! I love your swatching videos. I enjoy seeing the colors move on the paper. Lucky you! I'm glad these brought you out of your weather-caused funk. 😉
These are uplifting paints for sure!
Beautiful paints! I recently ordered some duo and multichrome watercolors from Etsy. Can't wait to try them.
Her half pans have sold out as most other are also! They are lovely colors! Hope they come back in stock soon!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! We often analyze cost but the point is, its a joy to see beautiful, innovative products like this . It provides inspiration & fun)! 😊
So true!
Those are beautiful, what a sweet gift. Thanks for sharing Lindsay!
These look amazing, and I love her craft palettes. And apart from the peach, the samples look pretty much the same as the label.
But I suck at watercolors still, so I'm more for solid middle-class supplies for myself. But buying two or three of the half-pans - well, that seems possible ...
I love and frequently use handmade watercolors. They are so unique and many super granulating!
Oooooh beautiful paints and the case is amazing.
When I started watercoloring I could paint a whole painting with just a few small dots of old Holland aquarel paints..which where the first (and very expensive) artist grade paints I had.. these look beautiful but I don't like the unpredictable nature of granulating colors but love watching YOU talk about what you see and explain to US.
I use distilled water for watercoloring. Our water has too much chlorine in it plus who knows what else!
I jumped knees deep in to hand crafted watercolors and tested alot of them out my top favorite is STONE WORKS MILL WATERCOLORS based in W. VA. Kelly is just amazing. Second is Khannah Honey Hues based in the UK SWM is highly granulated and pigmented the quality is like daniel smith. Khannah really has perfected the perfect creamy texture of watercolor even senneliers formula isnt blended like that. I would always grab her paints over sennelier.
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for showing us.
Wow, Those are beautiful ! And so much work in the beautiful box
A ton of work! I don't think people realize! I made watercolor once...only once 😆
These watercolors are pretty interesting. Another interesting paint is the Rockwell paint from Canada, especially the color: Magic Wizard.
Love this pallet. Buckeye Arizona is in the valley near Phoenix. Elevation less than 1,000 ft.
Great gift. Love the colors and the pallet. Beautiful.
The Blue Iron one and Malachite look especially awesome to me 🥰. Malachite has been used to make make up and stuff in Ancient Egypt, I didn't know one could use it for water colours, too. Kinda imagining it would feel awesome to paint with a pigment that's been used for so long already 😁
Thanks for sharing these different things. It's good to know such beautiful paints exist. 😄
Those colors are so gorgeous!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
So true with switching to plastic frames! Once you embrace the lightweight comfort there's no going back!
Our town water is pretty hard but I have a RODI filter unit for my fishtank water and keep a jug of ultrapure soft water for my clean water bucket in my study 😅
Beautiful watercolors! thanks Lindsay.
Those are beautiful! I really like the pallet! I have my eye on some other handmades that do color shifting and my oh my are they lush! Although the water puck is pricey to me, I really like how quickly it’s cleaning your brush! That dang want monster gets me every time! TFS!
