- Review of Daniel Smith Watercolors & Demo (Chinese Lanterns)
Today I am reviewing the Watercolor Essentails Set from Daniel Smith. The colors included are:
Hansa Yellow Light (col yellow)
New Gamboge (Warm Yellow)
Quinacridone Rose (Cool Red)
Pyrrol Scarlet (Warm REd)
Pthalo Blue GS (Cool "greeny" blue)
French Ultramarine (Warm "purply" blue)
Here is my basic split primary color mixing video: • Color Wheel: How to mi...
If you want a more in depth course try the class Luminous Watercolor Mixing: www.craftsy.com...
You can find a good deal on Daniel Smith tubes on Blitsy: shrsl.com/?~dauf
They also have the set I used at Simon Says Stamp: shrsl.com/?~daug
(but honestly, you can get the 6 tube set for half the price on Amazon) amzn.to/3O47SfQ
I really like these paints and this set is perfect for clean bright mixes, perfect workhorse colors to start off with. The only negative I can think of on Daniel Smith paints is they are expensive but luckily they often have sales so you can keep a list and stock up when you find a deal. I alos love the discriptions they put of each color on their website, although warning, you might get talked into buying:) www.danielsmith...
This 6 color set is wonderful for beginners or experienced artists wanting to try and compare with basic colors. I'll say that the quality is excellent so advanced painters might want to try some of their more exotic pigments to round out their collections especially if you seek granulating colors.

I don't think I have ever watched any of your videos that were these old. It's encouraging to see the basics of your channel even back then! I'm so glad you have remained true to yourself. Thanks Lindsay.
I just want to say thank you for being REAL with us. You're not an "art snob" like some of the others I see on here and I truly look forward to all of your videos no matter what medium you're using. I like the longer videos to listen to while I crochet. :3 Thanks to your yarn dyeing video, I can make whatever colors I want and don't worry about discontinued colors or horribly knotted store buys. Keep up the great work!
+N4ncy thank you:)
Absolutely agree! I have been a subbie for years for good reason. ;-)
I love DS paints!! And I am so glad you had a good experience with DS customer service! It's very generous of them to send the right color and the 66 color sampler that makes the good American company even more awesome!
Great demo! I love the way you did the chart. Some others I have seen are so pickily done that I, as an inexperienced painter, feel intimidated. But you give me permission to be imperfect and just have fun and learn. Thanks, Lindsay!
I have finally found a UK stockist of these watercolours and ordered this set. The mixes you got look amazing, especially those violets and purples!! Thanks for reviewing them.
I purchased these and the other set so I have more colors. I am on vacation and I am painting a picture with them as we speak. This is the first set of watercolors that I purchased that were more than 12 dollars, LOL!! I love the colors and will send you a picture when I am done. I am only on the first layer. I am taking my time. I did the background and a couple of the flowers painted. I won't be working on the detail probably when I get home. I a m very nervous about the detail part, that is usually when I mess up, LOL!! Thanks for reviewing these, I always love your opinion on crafty things!!
You are very talkative which is good cause when I'm doing art in my studio it feels like someone is with me than just being alone 😊 it is nice !
An heart wow ♥️😘
Haha, yes, this is what I always say. I watch Lindsay's videos while I am working on my art, and it makes me feel like I have someone here with me, working alongside me.
I bought this kit after watching this video. It has been six months and I have finally used them. I am so happy with them. This video is awesome thank you so much for introducing me to Daniel Smith and M Graham paints. I just started a six week course with a local artist and I am so excited. My 3 only completed paintings are all from your tutorials orchids, dahlia and a landscape. I love your channel.
I love all of these paintings, especially the wiggly leaves on the lanterns :)Thank you for the reviews, I have not only been inspired, but I use the information I get here to make an informed decision on where to spend my money. Posting products to Australia is very expensive, as it is to buy them here if they are available. So knowing all the pros and cons is very important to me. Most of my watercolours, pastels, watercolour crayons and most of my pencils and even my markers are based on your recommendations. I have been absolutely delighted with every purchase.
LINDSAY - You were my go-to teacher when I
Started watercolor several years ago and wow has your
Talent grown! Thanks for your vibrant work and attitude. ..
Shelby
I love this essentials kit! It's fabulous. I've been using it myself and gifting it to my WC friends for a number of years now. I used to get it for around $35 on Amazon and other places like Blick and Jerry's. Alas, it's gotten more expensive now, but is still so worthwhile. These are the perfect combo of a warm and cool of each of the primaries. You can make almost any color from them. I adore them. When I want to limit the number of paints I carry for whatever reason, these colors are perfect, especially in the small six color sized painters palettes available online. . Daniel Smith paints are a superb quality paint and a small amount actually goes a long way. So nice to see this video. Good color chart ! Thanks for this video! I love your enthusiasm!
Thanks!
I am a new fan. I have learned so much from you. You are the most knowledgeable teacher I have seen on here. What a depth of knowledge you have and are willing to share with us.
thanks!
Hi Lindsay, did you know you have a monster on your palette? 11:58 into your video and you can see him. I love your art work and how you communicate with us, your students. Just perfect!
I saw that one too!
I was just a moment ago searching for watercolor tubes, and thought 'I'll check to see what Lindsay says'. because you are so dependable when it comes to budget as well as quality of the supplies that you review! I am on a budget and am still using a student pan set! I actually enjoy mixing my own acrylics and so on. I'm a mixed media artist.
It's time to graduate! LOL Thank you so much for your psychic abilities that told you to film this today!! heheh...
I love the review videos (also the hauls), they're a way to satisfy my inner hoarder without going broke :)
Lindsay, Get some of the Daniel Smith sticks! The colors are beautifully vibrant and I love the Primatek colors in the sticks like Serpentine Genuine , Sodalite Genuine, and Hematite. Also, I want to mention how versatile the sticks are! You can draw with them dry or wet and get beautiful texture. You can also treat it more like a pan and brush the color off with your watercolor brush and get a much smoother look. I personally love to draw with them wet and dry and I love doing en plein air painting with them because they're very portable. if you do get several of them, I would recommend getting the little plastic stick containers that Daniel Smith offers to keep them clean and separate from each other.
I am fortunate that I live within an hours drive from Daniel Smith store and factory in South Seattle, WA and at the store you can get them for $8.50 each. I find that if you go through the Daniel Smith website, they tend to sell for less than the list price with most being under $10. Amazon and some other websites tend to sell them for list prices.
Finally I want to mention that when I was at Daniel Smith last, they informed me that the pigment that goes into the sticks is exactly the same as what goes into the tubes. The sticks are just the pigments and gum Arabic and when processing the paint in the factory, right before they add liquid for the tube paints, they take some of the mixture away and bake it for 1-3 days and thats how the sticks are made.
+Annie Tracey it sounds like they are a better value. I think I will try some next. Does the surpentine granulate when painted from the stick as the paint will from the tube?
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich
It absolutely does granulate! I only wish that they had more of the Primatek colors in stick form.
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich serpentine is a favorite of mine and when you need maximum granulation you can always use granulating medium. :)
You can get the case for $3.59 at Jerry’s Artarama, I purchase them a lot.
Fun video! Love the impromptu morning freshness.
I was interested in Daniel Smith watercolors but thank you for mixing the colors up and showing me the combinations, such an excellent video xoxo
I've always loved DS paints. My art store sells them for about the same price of other brands so that makes it real nice. And on occasion, they will have those dot cards sitting out for the taking. Score! Thank you for this wonderful review Lindsay, I love how you mixed them to get the colors you wanted; and they turned out so beautiful.
Love D Smith watercolors. Thank you for this demo 🙏
Next time you come to Seattle, spend some hours at the store in the factory. Everyone is so nice, and you can try any color you want! They have the most incredible paint station.. I always have to add a couple of hours to a Seattle run.
hmmm, that could be a business expense:)
Absolutely!!
I can not wait for Seattle to open...and that store to open. And for everyone and everything to heal.🙏🏽
I love your demos. I just saw this set as part of a kit for another site, and was wondering how useful they would be in real life ( i.e., once the specific project was done.) Lindsay to the Rescue! You did a great job of showing the versatility of these and now I can make up my mind. Thank you!
Great color mixing review Lindsay! Thanks!
I have been using Daniel Smith for years. it's always my go to water colors. They are great colors. Everyone who works at their stores. is very knowledge-based and quite happy to work with their customers.
My first watercolor paints were Daniel Smith and I love them. They provide beautiful results. Great basic set, and I also went all in on moonglow and paynes grey. My go to palette.
Great review! I hear a lot about Daniel Smith paints and would love to try them. Your review has helped me decide. Thank you!
Great demo Lindsay! Thanks for sharing.
Nice demo Lindsey enjoyed it very much thank you
I think that the plate Lindsay is using for a palette is pretty enough to hang on the wall all by itself .
Rtsy Frtsy I mixed my paints on a white plate like this and didn’t wash the plate either. Lol! The paint is beautiful!!
Lindsay, another RUclipsr, Mandy van Goeije, has done an extensive review of the dot cards from Daniel Smith. It is very informative and a joy to watch as you get her honest emotional reactions. She loved the paints. She is an illustrator from the Netherlands and has done quite a few reviews of watercolor paints from different manufacturers.
Mandy is one of my favorite RUclipsrs and I had a good time watching her paint out the entire 200+ paint colors for sampler!
+Erin S. I did too! Her reactions to the colors were priceless! She seems like such a nice person too. Lindsay got me interested in watercolor, and Mandy got me interested in pigments.
I loved watching Mandy too! And I learned a lot from her. Now I want lots of Daniel Smith paints! I ordered 3 more colors today!
Lindsey...This is great. I have the D.S. paint and sticks. It is very rich and the sticks really do last for a very long time. I use them in my pans. But, this helped me very much to see how few I really need. . Thank you.
Very Nicely done presentation. The color mixing the DS primary colors was very helpful and in how wonderful the granulation works with these paints. Thank you. :-)
Great video. I love DS colors. They also give good workshops about their products. Thank you.
I loves swatching my water colors. I just purchased a set of Primatek on sale at Ellen Hutson. They are so earthy. 😉🖌🎨
Thank you for credit card tip for scraping. I think you did a great job on those Chinese Lanterns - beautiful. I only have a few Daniel Smith colours and I really like them. Gamboge seems like a very useful colour. I will review your colour theory video as well.
Thanks, Lindsay. This was really helpful. I have this set but haven't broken it out yet. I have been using Kuretake Gansai Tambi and Sennelier pan paints, but I want to try the Daniel Smith too. This helps motivate me.
Lived this video! Very helpful! I ordered the dvd. You are amazing!
I love Daniel Smith, a fun less expensive way to obtain the larger tubes of DS water color is to order the Triad sets from their website. They use 3 colors to paint an entire picture. The set is usually around 50% off regular price of paint. I ordered one set a month and I think it was around 20 bucks and included free shipping... that was a few years ago. it's a great way to learn color theory as well and the sets make great gifts!!!!
Daniel Smith are my favorites. I also bought some of the Primatek colors, and although the pigments aren't "in your face", they are just delicious, like nothing else on the market! As you saw, they granulate like crazy.
Love Daniel Smith and I have quite a few that I have added to my M. Graham colors. The New Gamboge used to be a single pigment and the recently changed to a dual pigment formula for some reason. Tom
I LOVE your swatch-out sheet!! Looks way less complicated than one video I watched. Took me two sittings at about 30 min each to get all my colors mixed!!
I'd love to know how you got that sand color?!
If you had to chose between Daniel Smith and Mission Gold which would you choose?
+Kristen K gosh, I like both. I'd probably pick and choose because the MG colors are super transparent but some of the DS colors granulate to a beautiful texture. If price was not a factor probably DS but I don't think you could go wrong with either.
I've been using these for the last 3 years, and I have to say DS is my favorite! You've got to try the duochrome's! They are beautiful!
Hi Lindsay, thank you for your videos. I was wondering why you like M Graham over Daniel Smith WC? I'm a beginner, so I'm trying to be frugal and invest wisely.
I also would like to know the answer to your question.
My entire palette except for three colors are Daniel Smith colors. I absolutely adore them!
I was debating on investing in these...but, the reminder of how many colors you can get from just those 6...seems like a good way to get back into an art I loved a long time ago.
I am so excited to be building a DS palette. I am starting with these and the Primatek sets. I have a 40 half pan tin for them, and I will collect over time. Very fun, and a way to TREAT myself to a new color once a month. I will be doing pigment studies to help me select colors. I want to use many of them as mixing colors to add granulation to my use up my very good quality student paints, and my 36 White Nights that I have had for only 2 weeks. I enjoy the palette, but I do not get a sense from some of the shades that they are top quality. Learning that no brand makes the perfect everything!
I bought my DS 6-pack mainly because it seemed to my newbie-ness to contain warm and cool primaries, a concept that just recently emerged. Will do the graph. Thanks!
Do you have a review on the sticks by any chance?
In the store, these really intrigued me. If you want many colors (if you are into mixing), you can go crazy with options.
I have just a few of the Daniel Smith colors. I don't know if they still offer the "Triads", but I used to buy them whenever they had a special that I could afford. They would demo a picture that could be done with only three colors then sell those three colors in a bundle. I think most of the colors they sold that way were mixed colors though, not single pigments, but they were beautiful colors. It seems to me the colors are so intense that I can use less paint to get the same intensity of color.
I've been experimenting with DS crystal pigments. They are pricey but the granulations are amazing!
Whoa whoa whoa.....crystal pigments? Is this new? I'm a bit disappointed with myself for not knowing because I'm a bit of a DS junkie.
I love the DS brand. No need for the big tubes, they go a really long way. Watercolor Misfit has a video called The Best Watercolor Tool Ever (or something). It's a good way to swatch. Gawd, that indigo! Is so beautiful. And the grays too. Thanks Lindsay!
I love how you are able to make scribbles on the page and it looks amazing. If i tried that it would look like a hot mess. You have inspired me, though, to start experimenting with water colors...at the very least, I will start with some mixed media techniques...lol...
Great looking colors. That dot chart on amazon is 22 dollars. What a deal you got!
That's what I was about to comment. I bought the 238 dot chart on Amazon recently for about. $25, so they were very accommodating for the mistake
Sounds like they sent her the 66 color dot card, not the full one, which is about 4 sheets and worth every penny.
Found it! (Your review of DS mixing set). I have only the Hansa Yellow LIght of those, but the Phthalo Blue (GS) is on its way. But the more the #DSPrimafake sinks in... 😂 I gotta get off IG; I'm too happy-go-lucky to enjoy feeling 'embittered' at a stupid paint company.
Anyway, I'm paused at 7 mts and you have this lovely iris painting (I think; not good with flower names) and I keep thinking, "move the DS paint chart so I can see the pretty painting!" 😂😂😂
You really should do fine art. -I mean, you DO do fine art; but I imagine you could go big with it! -Alas, we need you as "the frugal crafter". 🙇♀️ Thank you.
The columbine! (It wasn't an iris). Love it.
Beautiful job! Your very talented! Thanks for the video!
Love your art , your so kind to show us all these different methods,. I got some pan pastels and a sticker on the package said they could cause cancer as I use my fingers thought this was alarming have you seen this Lyndsey?
+Carole Young do you live in CA? They put lables in everything that even has trace amounts if chemicals. Thy may have some talc in them and there was just a big class action suit against Johnson and Johnson because they linked ovarian cancer to talc in baby powder. As long as you use the product for art as it is intended you are fine in my opinion.
Great review. You always have the very best information.
thanks! I also just tried the sticks and They are a better value than the tubes especially if you are getting a higher series # color:)
Wonderful review and great demo!
I've been asked to teach a watercolor class this summer for summer school and I'm so nervous I could throw up blood. (I have never taught before! ARGH! x.x) But this demo looks fun and easy! Do you mind if I teach this?
+starshinesoldier you van teach any of my tutorials:) you will be great!
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank you Lindsay! I don't say this enough, but you are the best!
The company that started in a garage on Nicholson in Seattle. Love that store!
Do you fix or finish your cards before mailing?
P.S. Love your teaching style, thanks for all you do. Katie
LOVE Daniel Smith paints. :)
Nice review! Love how the colors mix...
I have tried to do foiling using the sticky embossing powder, doesn't work for me, do you know of any kind of glue that I could stamp with that stays sticky when it's dry? I thought you would be the perfect person to ask because I have learned so much by watching your tutorials. your work is just fantastic. Thank you
Love your reviews !! Thankyou for sharing :-)
Happy Creating !!
Great video Lindsay! I got this set about 5 months ago...it is pretty nifty. 😉 I would suggest the D.S. primatek set of 6 to try. I love their primateks and I think you would find they would go great with a lot of what you do. 😆
What is Primatek, please? Am a confused newbie, baffled by so many unfamiliar terms. Thanks
+Viv Randles They are just a group of paints made by Daniel Smith. These particular ones are made from precious stones/rocks. www.amazon.com/Daniel-Smith-285610006-Introductory-Watercolor/dp/B00WT5VK62/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&dpID=51iztQik%2BnL&dpPl=1&keywords=primatek%20watercolor%20set&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1469578046&ref=plSrch&ref_=mp_s_a_1_1&sr=8-1
Thanks
Viv Randles 😆 no problem...happy to help!
Very helpful review! I love New Gamboge because it is like painting with sunshine, or at least the old single pigment formulation of PY 153 is. Just as you do, I prefer single pigment paints. When Winsor Newton could no longer get PY 153, I switched to Daniel Smith. Then when artists on WetCanvas began lamenting about Daniel Smith's supply of PY 153 running out, I sort of panicked with the rest of them. I had a 15 ml tube and a half, but I put DS New Gamboge on my Christmas wish list, telling my daughter about it soon running out, thinking I could always use another tube. Well......I guess she loves her Mama because under the tree was a box of 5 15ml tubes! Since I still have not used up my original supply, I guess I will be painting with "sunshine" until my dying day and still not run out! LOL. BTW, the new formulation of PY97 PY110 is not really a true replacement so I am glad I have my lifetime supply.
intersting, it really makes me want a tube of the old stuff LOL!
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich If I'd managed to find another half-pan of the old Gamboge, I would've done a giveaway - if I ever find two more, I'll send one to you, even though it'll break my heart parting with it ;)
If you want to give me an address, I could send you some :-)
I found your other comment, it went to spam because of the links in there, sorry about that, thank you for the helpful info and the generous offer:)
What a pretty card done with a snap of fingers!
Nice. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Lindsay, Just did a cost comparison for a set of 15 ml split primary colors (6 tubes each) from Cheap Joe's : Daniel Smith $68.48 and M Graham $56.79 so you can try the Daniel Smith without guilt! They have fabulous granulation and there are extensive mixing
charts on Jane Blundell's blog showing her basic 15 colors to make any color you would ever dream of, and then some! I got her ebook of charts for $17 - can always have with me on my computer or tablet!
+paulage1art I need to check her pit, thanks!
Hiya.love the video!
You should get Gansai Tambi water Colours. They are easy to use and vibrant. Just a suggestion!
Lindsay I purchased the dot cards, 5 of them for 28.00. I was very disappointed. Several of them didn't activate from the cards. Several had very little paint and was so light for a swatch. I sent an email to the company and never heard anything back. I love the colors but didn't order any more tubes.
+jillmayo huh, the back to me within 2 days of my email. I sent a photo of the duplicate tube so they know I really bought it and got 2 of one and not the other. Maybe snap a pic of the problem card and send it. They were really good about it.
Maybe thats it, I didn't send a photo. Thanks for the reply. Love your videos.
I just got these at Michaels for half off but were still $10.00 more then what you got them for so everyone really look around. Did your explode out the top as soon as you opened them I had that issue and was not prepared for the extra paint? They are gorgeous will order the dot card to see the colors I really want. Thanks for the education on mixing them. Will have to watch your yarn dyeing thx N4ncy for mentioning
Great video, thanks for sharing. Where did you get that Daniel Smith color chart?
Do you mean the mixing one I made? Or the dot card? You can buy for cards from any art supply store.
Which do you think is better Daniel smith watercolors or M gram?? Thanks for the video
Lindsay I was expecting your rant video about artist quality, haha.
Beautiful colors...oh, but the price...yikes. I feel guilty even putting them on my wish list. I'll keep an eye out for that little set at a good price - but then what if I can't live without more?! Love the Chinese Lanterns; one of my fav plants. Thanks Lindsay
Patty, Amazon. has the littel set Lindsay uses for a good price. That's where I got mine a month or so ago. I'm thrilled to have found this tutorial (and Lindsay). I'm new to watercolor, and having someone REAL and with LIFE in her voice, show us this stuff is so refreshing and fun. :-)
After watching your videos for over a year I am inspired to get into art especially watercolor. What is a good beginning set? I literally have no art supplies aside from the average school supplies. But as a teen on a budget I really need something that's inexpensive. Would you recommend the Royal & Langnickel kit????
+SimplyTina I would recommend the Lukas studio set, it is $12 and the paints won't fade. Jerry's artarsma sells it. Or the Cotman sketcher box, if you are in the us you can use a coupon on that at Michaels or acmoore or it is $14 on amazon.
What Craftsg class were you referring g to that teaches mixing colors wit Daniel Smith's paints? I couldn't find anything's that. Thank you.
+Teri Williams I put a link in the video description, Luminous color mixing
+Teri Williams I put a link in the video description, Luminous color mixing
Hi Lindsay! I know how much you love your M. Graham watercolours. I want to invest in some artist quality watercolours, and I'm torn between Daniel Smith's & M.Graham; with some people saying that the M.Graham's aren't suitable for travelling pallets & plein air because they have a tendency to a) attract bees?! And b) drip out of palette because they never really dry. Has this ever been a problem for you?
Thanks so much 🌷
+J3nny haha no, never been a problem but is humid environments they take a long time to dry so you might want Daniel smith. You can't go wrong with either.
Awesome review, thanks Lindsay! Would you say these are nicer than the Mijello paints? I already have the Mijello set but I've been wanting to try these out, that granulation looks to die for.
+Jess Elena not nicer but many are more granular. Try a tube of French ultramarine or another color that granulates that is unlike what you have. Their website had good swatches to see. Use them together;)
I bought them 7 days ago ( January 15th ) for $23.00. There was two sellers the second price was $49.00. I just checked and the prices are still the same.
I would love to see a review of the DS watercolor sticks. The 15 mil Tubes of Piemonite and Serprntine, in the PrimaTek line, can't be found for less than $16.74 a pop! Having used them I can say that they are truly unique, but I'd much rather spend $8.99 on a stick version providing they wet out well and granulate like their tube counterparts. The prices are from Blick and Jerry's BTW and they even have the superpower of being impenetrable from coupon/promotional code under any circumstances. HA!
Anyhoo, dollar for dollar M Graham gets the gold for being the highest pigment load for the money, but they keep their color selection to a reasonably low count. That said I use a lot of M Graham paint, but the Daniel Smith PimaTek color formulations are novel and unmatched as far as texture and granulation.
It's a wild world of watercolor out there and I would love to see some PrimaTek sticks in action. Thanx for all the info you provide.
I saw some good prices on EBAY and Daniel Smith's website has everything discounted it seems.
Also check out Blitsy.com I have found D.S. 15ml tubes for $10.99
LINDSAY- I've been meaning to ask, do you need to seal the watercolor image with anything to protect it from rain if you are sending these postcards to anyone? What do you do? Thanks.
+Sharon Avalos I rub them with paraffin or beeswax and heat it with a heat gun
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thanks!
They are my favourite flower but so hard to find them in uk
I used a 50 percent cup on at Michael's 🎨
Thank you this was a very informative video. Much appreciated!
Hi first I love your videos, so informative, can I ask you a question,Christmas coming up , but here in Denmark the Daniel S are so expensive, so for a new beginner is the start set good to invest in , I need them for stamping and mixed media have a nice day hej from Denmark
+Marianne Petersen I would see if you can get the van gogh watercolors. I think they ate made in your area so they will be less costly and they are on the cusp of student/professional quality.
I feel bad. I stopped the video and went over to Amazon Warehouse. Never looked for art supplies there. Good find Lindsay!
I think it was suggested because I had the regular price item in my cart.
Just came across this sale on Daniel Smith 15 ml tubes. Here's the link: www.artistcraftsman.com/daniel-smith-watercolors.html
Some colors that Jerry's doesn't have right now, they have (ex. Viridian) at the same price.
Thanks so much Lindsey! :-)
I want to get them just for color theroy and mixing.
I saw those dot cards for 21.00 on Amazon linsy 🎨
Love the image at the end btw [i paused it before the ritual of The Spattering was performed as I could not cope ;)] - reminded me of botanical taxonomic paintings from 1800s etc.
I have videos coming v v soon on Ultramarines and another on Granulation, I'll link to this one as it is so relevant to those, as you show the effect so well.
+The Spin Doctor thanks Rich! I started watching your haul video today, can't wait to finish it! Farm you for showing the 45 Cotman pans, it is $50 USD...I mean just for the pans lol:)
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I linked it and prices on the description of the Cotman Set II video - the UK price should be £65 ($80?) but discounted at the moment to £25 ($35?), which makes the $48 US price seem better! The 12 colour set is discounted at every vendor worldwide at the moment so I expect that is being changed or discontinued maybe.
Thank you for the review. 💞
great review lindsay, saw these on line this morning and you have just made my mind up to buy a set. thank you. x
enjoy them!
This was oh so helpful since I'm thinking about doing the Bluprint Startup class, which is probably the one you referred to in your video. You never said anything about transparency. The tomato color is less transparent than the color suggested for class, so hopefully it will mix okay. I thought granulation was a bad thing (never knew first-hand), so I'm glad you explained that it is really fun! Now I have to decide if I want this one or the less granular Windsor Newton that Bluprint is selling. Oh, decisions, but this is definitely a good first watercolor set. I'll likely get it, but put the colors in pans. You are such a wealth, Lindsay and it's hard to even consider what I'd do without your advice archive. Thank you again. Off to see if you have an affiliate link to it.
Does your affiliate link work if I buy the watercolor kit (with the Windsor Newtons) at Bluprint? They're having a sale that makes the kit a pretty good deal....hmmm.
ps that columbine you did not do a promo on with these paints, can you still do a tutorial on it as I will buy me this set in january to start my ultimate mixing set by jane blundell,just for the fun cause i am dying to find out what on earth the ds smith fuzz is all about. the mixes on the plate are sooo pretty, i could never get that effect with my schmincke' s though I guess my fellow schmincke addict @martyowings will kill me for saying this 😂
