I think I need to give the white another chance, I dismissed it a bit, haha! But then other whites in sets I've tried lately have been underwhelming so I am a bit jaded from those. 😂
I tried the Inktense pencils and just did not care for them. The colors were great but the overall outcome was splotchy. I definitely prefer watercolor painting. Appreciate your demonstration of the paints and I will give them a try 👍😁
Thank-you for this review Becky! I have to confess, I LOVE using inks so much more than watercolour! Ink seems to be my go-to painting medium if I don't have much time. VERY cute toucan ❤️❤️❤️
I didnt even know they had a 24 set...I had to look it up at a online craft store....thanks for the new info...I've been having my eye on the pan set graphitint ...
I use the white to mix pastelly colors. They are underwhelming as white paints according to me too 😀. Love the tucan and how you use colors! I’m one of those who paint hair pink and think I’ve taking a huge leap out of my comfort zone 😂. I hope you will have wonderful weekend!
This is perfect for the spirit of Inktober😀 I love how the toucan turned out, especially with all those white highlights at the end😊 I’m not so great with regular watercolors so I imagine inktense might be even harder to use, but I’m curious about them now😂 that green color at the beginning looks so much more yellow in the swatch than the pan, odd!!
Thank you! Yes, I'd say the Inktense are a bit more difficult than watercolours, but not too bad really. It is just that drying and not budging thing which can be a problem, lol. That yellow looks so green when dry, even in the pencil and block! It's a strange one.
As usual prices in Australia are pretty steep. The cheapest I could find on ebay was 70 dollars. Also saw an absolutely outrageous price of 400 dollars for a 12 pan set
@@firdyk Hahaha that's insane! 😂 The set I got was around $70 I think, at Eckersley's. But they were having a sale, which is when I picked it up, at slightly less, lol.
I’m really tempted by this set to use as under painting for the Inktense pencils. I heard good things about the white being really opaque, maybe give it another chance 😊
Again, great video. I like the kit and I'm not quite sure if I want to buy it or not... I'm really wanting to an awesome paintpen drawing but still unsure. Thanks for guidance :)
Hi, thanks the review. Have been playing with the Inktense pencils for a bit, but was considering the block until I saw the pans. I really enjoyed your review and pushed me over the edge to get a set. Why Inktense? Here is SW VIC near Warrnambool (and other parts of Australia!) the colours around the paddocks, nature, and the Southern Ocean can get really saturated in the different lights and watercolours struggle and pastels are great… but these look great for Plein air work. Thanks again.
I prefer these pans to the blocks, for sure! I have the block set too but they get so messy, haha. I love the landscape around SW VIC - we visited Warrnambool a few years ago, and drove down through Port Fairy to Portland. We've driven the Great Ocean Road a few times too - I can't get enough of it. ❤
The purple handled brushes I used are by Royal and Langnickel. I think the set is called Moderna. They're a pretty cheap set but are surprisingly good and I use them a lot for ink-related artworks. 🙂
I think it's a Uniball Signo Broad White gel pen. That's what I normally use anyway - I haven't watched this video in a while to remember exactly, haha! If I remember I will look later. 😊
@07:19, the Sun Yellow, the "Fuchsia", and the "Teal Green" are the true primary colours here. :^) The Fuchsia the Magenta, and the Teal Green is the Cyan! Try mixing the Fuchsia with the Teal Green, and you will get a perfect blue. :o) Magenta + Cyan = Blue.
White inktense is wonderful and it the best part of this pallet (unlike traditional watercolour). It is opaque, you can use if for highlights. You can mix it with colours to make your own pastels. Or you can correct mistakes with it and paint over it once dry.
I think the pan version isn't quite as opaque as the bar...more tests needed! But I am just a bit over white at the moment, I think, lol. I will try again with it 🙂😃
Beautiful job becky, I've just ordered some paints I came across on amazon they are called super Vision. I've never seen them they just suddenly popped up, I've ordered the super granulating set in tubes and a set called greys but they are pinks and other colours. They look amazing and great names like, rose Ash, golden grèn, red blue. I'm putting them away for christmas, was wondering have you ever seen them or do you have them and if so what they are like?. They were £62 for 10 15ml tubes so not expensive
Oh no, that’s no good! I haven’t found mould in my set. I do make sure to leave my palettes open to fully dry before closing them up, and I live in a relatively dry climate as well. Bad luck that you had mould from the beginning! 😭
Hey... after watching this video I went to blick and noticed that there is the 12 set, the 24 set, but then I went to count the single pans, to make sure they had the 24 colors, but to my surprise there are 27 single pans... soooo.. I wonder, which are those 3 extra colors?!... I'm gonna go see each color to understand how is that possible, since in this video you showed the 12 set colors are in the 24 set.... right?! Or am I mistaken?!.... Anyways, let me go check again.... I just wanted to comment this before I went all nerdy about it on Blick 😅😅😅😅😅 Brb 😂😂😂😂 UPDATE: Well, Im back and yes! There are 3 more colors available open stock. I dont understand why! For me and my OCD that is annoying cause, if I decided to buy all the colors, where am I supposed to place them? Is not easy having OCD.... not joking about it! If I want to buy, I would HAVE to buy the 24 set, the 3 extra colors, and then, place them all together in a different palette! 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I know is silly, but.... OCD 😅 Anyway, the THREE colors that are NOT INCLUDED in any of their 2 sets are: French Ultramarine Light Olive Sepia The more you know.... 😅
That is so weird, and I wasn't aware of these being open stock, let alone there being three extra colours! 😂 How random is that, lol. I'd go for those colours too, especially sepia. Now I'll be looking out for them in open stock for sure. Thanks for the information, I appreciate that! ❤
Very pretty colourful painting. I think in the 24 set, they swapped the sepia for the Payne's Grey and for a different orange from the 2nd set. I love these paints and some of the pans are now pretty low, but and I can order the pans individually. Have a great weekend.
That's good to know; I didn't end up getting the second set so I probably should have looked up the colours online, haha! I am very happy there is Payne's Grey in this one; it's always a favourite for me!
Very interesting, I have seen these before. Are they meant to be like watercolors or do you think they are just like the inktense blocks but made to fit pans? I always thought they were the same as the blocks but maybe I'm wrong. I know the white block is a lot more opaque then that white though.
They are close to the blocks but in separate tests they do paint out quite a bit different. Also some of the pan colour names are different and aren't in the pencils or blocks sets. I might do a follow up comparison video because I didn't want to include it all in this one and make it confusing. 😬
I need my burn Siena xD the oxide doesn't does it for me... That lemon colour is awesome it's really cute how the pan is green and becomes yellow xD Amazing work as always but it was a surprise how opaque the colours look I was hoping for more transparency but it's expected I think since it's ink and not watercolor...
Most of them are fairly transparent but they definitely have a different binder and feel thicker than watercolours, so they are kind of in their own category and I had to alter my technique a bit to use them. 😊
Perhaps this should be called watercolor inks instead. Inks are stark and vibrant. Watercolors is subtle and suggestive. Comparing this to regular watercolor doesn’t do justice to the full splendour of inks.
They kind of feel somewhere in between. Nowadays a lot of watercolours are extremely vibrant too - especially from professional brands. But they also act like inks too, so watercolour inks is also a good name for them. 🙂

I have this set and love it! The white is epic!
I think I need to give the white another chance, I dismissed it a bit, haha! But then other whites in sets I've tried lately have been underwhelming so I am a bit jaded from those. 😂
@@BeckyTregear it is super opaque! Im ordering a couple extra pans of it to go in my travel palettes in lieu of gouache
Loved this one.Never seen colors match an enclosed swatch sheet like that. Swooning over the Payne's grey-it's glorious. I have to have it.
Oh yes, it is a glorious Payne's Grey! Lovely blue undertone. 💜
I tried the Inktense pencils and just did not care for them. The colors were great but the overall outcome was splotchy. I definitely prefer watercolor painting. Appreciate your demonstration of the paints and I will give them a try 👍😁

I'm planning to use my inks a fair bit this month....of course I need to remember how to use them again, lol! They are fun though ☺️
I didnt even know they had a 24 set...I had to look it up at a online craft store....thanks for the new info...I've been having my eye on the pan set graphitint ...
It's a fairly recent addition....I've been using it quite a lot lately and I really like it!
Nooo, I need the white for mixing 😅. Thanks again for a great video ... I love to watch your work.
You can have my white, haha! Though this one is actually ok. And thank you 😊

I ordered my set last night , it should be here next week, yeah! I can't wait
I hope you enjoy it! 😆💜
Very helpful review thank you Becky.

I will do! And using as an underpainting is a great idea too!
Look at lachri fine art inktense videos for demos of using the white.
@@dees3179 Yes, Lisa is fantastic! She’s the Inktense expert and I love the dolphin she painted for the Inktense pencils box 😊
Again, great video. I like the kit and I'm not quite sure if I want to buy it or not... I'm really wanting to an awesome paintpen drawing but still unsure. Thanks for guidance :)
Thank you. I think the bigger set is more useful and I like it more than the 12 colour box which feels a bit limited for my tastes.
I’ve eyeballed these but will splurge and the graphite tints first, if I go that route. Loved your painting!
The graphitint box looks intriguing too! If that comes out as a 24 set, I'm in 😆
Stunning artwork. Love it🤩👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you! ❤️
I do love those stubby water brushes. I enjoy Inktense but it's been a while since I've used mine.
They're very handy for travel kits. Many of mine are far too long. I've been using this pan set quite a lot in my Inktober pictures....it's great!
Nice sharing! Your work is so lovely!🙂🙂🙂
Thank you 😊

Hi Becky, thank you for this video. Could you tell me what small brush you use to draw the toucan? Thank you 😊
The purple handled brushes I used are by Royal and Langnickel. I think the set is called Moderna. They're a pretty cheap set but are surprisingly good and I use them a lot for ink-related artworks. 🙂
@@BeckyTregear thanks you so much Becky 😍
Hi, may I know what was the white pen you used in the end?
I think it's a Uniball Signo Broad White gel pen. That's what I normally use anyway - I haven't watched this video in a while to remember exactly, haha! If I remember I will look later. 😊
White is usually used for mixing and highlight and for layering(I think)
It mixes to make some good pastel shades. 🙂
@07:19, the Sun Yellow, the "Fuchsia", and the "Teal Green" are the true primary colours here. :^)
The Fuchsia the Magenta, and the Teal Green is the Cyan!
Try mixing the Fuchsia with the Teal Green, and you will get a perfect blue. :o)
Magenta + Cyan = Blue.
I'm going to test that to see if you're right. I'd have said teal green is too green but we shall see! 😆
I herad its different from normal watercolors. Maybe one day I will give it a chance
I notice u use a lightbox pad. Could u recommend one.❤ luv your review on this palette.
Thank you! It's a USB LED lightbox (or lightpad) which I found on eBay. I imagine stores like Alibaba have them too - inexpensive and great to use!
great looking toucan 😀 it is a very long awkward to carry around if you take it to sketch with outsside
Thank you, and I was thinking this would be the case, haha!
its good to have all the colours together tho, and i agree, get rid of the white
White inktense is wonderful and it the best part of this pallet (unlike traditional watercolour). It is opaque, you can use if for highlights. You can mix it with colours to make your own pastels. Or you can correct mistakes with it and paint over it once dry.

@@BeckyTregear 💯 bar is best. Pan is better if activated like metallic paint first with a drop of water soaking in it and used thick.
Inktense is a wonderful product to use as an underpainting for pastel paintings.
That's a great idea! I might consider that the next time I use pastels (which admittedly isn't very often, lol).
❤beautiful painting
Thank you 😊
Beautiful job becky, I've just ordered some paints I came across on amazon they are called super Vision.

I haven't heard of those; they sound very intriguing! I will look them up, thank you for the recommendation. 😊❤️
hi... is this set easily to get mold? i just unopen a new set and already there are some color got mold so i refund it.
Oh no, that’s no good! I haven’t found mould in my set. I do make sure to leave my palettes open to fully dry before closing them up, and I live in a relatively dry climate as well. Bad luck that you had mould from the beginning! 😭
AMAZING
Not having white in a set would be a disaster, they never should stop adding it, since it's the color to use for adjusting the lighter tone of colors.
This one is turning out to be better than my initial impressions, so it can stay. 😂
they look kinda dull compared to liquid acrylic inks you can get. except for that yellow, which stands out.
