If you notice that the pans are sticky as you open them, put them in the freezer for about 5 minutes then they should come out cleanly from the packaging
Thank you for the tip! 😊
I started with Daniel Smith and WN&P and came across RS. I absolutely love these paints! Please please get Aquarius Green- you will LOVE it! Also shadow violet, ocean blue! There are so so many!
omg I love shadow violet and perylene green, malachite, green earth and przybleszs grey!
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I am compiling a list for my next purchase and your help is so appreciated ❤️❤️😊
Oh, how I especially love the gorgeous Quin Cherry, Quin Red and Cobalt Sea Blue! I always look forward to your videos!
Thank you so much Kathy, I am so happy to have you here!❤️
Better late than never I fell in love with him and his colours I have a collection of just over 90 full pans and the price is amazing I got in before they realise not only how good they are but that people will pay much more
I love Roman Szmal watercolours. If you're looking for further recommendations:
- Aureoline Hue. It's a bright yellow, but more natural than Aquarius Yellow and gorgeous in light washes.
- Pyrrole Red.
- Azo Red.
- Misty Morning. A unique colour that has shades of blue-grey and purple. Can't recall the pigment info but it's a beautiful colour. Reminds me of thundery skies.
- Lazurite (Lapis Lazuli). This is one of the more pricier paints, it's very pale and takes some building up to see it enough, but I love the texture of it and it's very reminiscent of the overcast skies we get here so often in Wales.
- Malachite. Again a pricey colour, but a gorgeous pale mint green.
- Green Earth.
- French Ochre.
- Aquarius Black. Very granulating and I love it for the texture alone. Great to add interest in mixes.
- Przybysz's Gray. A dark gray that granulates to purple shades.
- Nickel Titanate Yellow.
- Ginger Red.
- Cobalt Coelin Blue.
So many wonderful recommendations! Thank you so much!! 😊❤️❤️
You must try Shadow Violet and Misty Morning, they’re such lovely colours!
Oh thank you! The names alone conjure up magical colours in my head haha ❤️😊
Relaxing video, thanks.
Thanks for this video! Could you please do a mixing video with the Roman Szmal? :) I adore those paints, especially ocean blue, przybysz’s grey, Vivianite blue ochre, shadow violet light, hooker’s and Aquarius green, and hematite violet shade. But still exploring 😊
I hope to mix them in the next video :) Thank you for being here! ❤️
That cherry quin looks like candy 🍭 love it!
It does remind me of candy too, haha 😊💗
I'd love to see how these paints stack up to your normal (DS, W&N) paint colors. -Especially the buff titanium! It looks like such a lovely creamy shade. Thank you for swatching the masstone and dilutions separately. I hadn't realized until now how helpful that is. I think I'll do that from now on! Have a fabulous day! 🌜
I just discovered your channel within the last few days and you are so lovely! I adore how gentle and calm you are along with your excitement over each colour. I get the same way with new paints.
You are so very kind Gretchen, thank you! ❤❤❤
Another lovely 💕 swatch demonstration. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Diana ❤
Love how you presented this. I have never seen Roman Szmal before some are really pretty as you said. If you mix with other brands I would love to see. I just found you so if you did already I will find. Hope you are feeling well
That Cobalt Sea Blue is indeed gorgeous! I have a Cobalt Teal from M Graham made with PB28 but to my eyes seems more teal and less blue than yours. Love that Sepia too! Beautiful colours!
Thanks for the info!😊 I haven't tried any M Graham paints, I really hope I have the chance to try them in the future 😊❤️
Wow, I didn't know that Roman Szmal has half pans, thank you for sharing!
I believe they have just released the half pans, and they also announced that they will be releasing watercolor tubes in the near future! Thank you so much for being here! ❤
Hi love this video, you have some beautiful colours there. I have a palette of Roman Szmal and they are lovely good quality watercolour paint xxx 💗
❤️😊❤️
I really like roman szmal especially the more use them. Will have to get the buff and Naples, I have a grumbacher Naples and it's much more reddish toned. Need the cherry also, lol.
Ooooooo those colors have such a vintage feel to them. Very lovely!
You may like their Venetian Yellow Earth, PY43. To me, it looks like Naples yellow. Very light.
I don't know how you feel about pinks, but I love their Ultramarine Pink, PR259!❤️😁
Thank you so much MaryAnn, I'll add them to my ever-evergrowing wish list, they sound lovely!! 😁😊❤️
Pb28 makes a lovely turquoise. White nights cobalt turqoise, m graham and Lukas all use it. I love the white nights one and the roman szmal.
Nickel azo yellow can dilute down to almost lemon, it has a super vast range. It is my favorite mixing yellow.
Thank you so much for sharing Renea 😊❤
I just bought a selection of Roman Szmal for the first time, too. (Thank you Jackson's for the sale...and RS for the half pans!) Of course, now I see some you chose that I want, too...but I'm going to try to wait a bit. I found the Zecchi site a little hard to navigate from the States, although after seeing your video there are colors I'd love to have. I'd happy watch any mixing video you offer, but if I had to choose it would be Roman Szmal. Thank you, Lily!
Jill, I bought mine during their sale too! It was too good of a chance to pass!😊 I do think in my next video I'll be mixing the Roman Szmal colours and perhaps if their is enough interest I'll do a Zecchi mixing video in the future! ❤️
I love Roman Szmal my favourites that you dont have are pyrrole rubine, mineral violet, quin gold, indanthrone blue, scarlet lake, aquarius red, phthalo turquoise, aquarius green, sap green light.I love that they are affordable enough to play with a lot of different pigments and yet good quality.
Thank you so much for your wonderful recommendations 💗😊
Its the first time I have seen one of your videos. I do love the colours you have chosen, and bought four of them. yes please could you do a video mixing these Roman Szmal colours, that would be great. I bought the lovely Cherry Quinacridone, I have been looking for a soft pink for ages. Its so hard to get a nice naples yellow that is not opaque and muddy looking. The small brush you are using lilly is that a winsor and newton sable brush ? Subscribed !
Thank you sandjune! If you are interested you can view my Roman Szmal mixing videos here: ruclips.net/video/DhCc_UmtLn8/видео.html and here: ruclips.net/video/8tGCktjLE4M/видео.html ❤️ My brush is a DaVinci Maestro sable brush :) Thank you so much for subscribing!! 💖🥰
Naples yellow looks like burnt sienna this is how I would use it.
Thanks for this lovely swatch! I immediatly added the cherry quinacridone to my favorits list. I have the Quinacridone Maroon and maybe its the light or paper, mine looks very much more orange, and I love it! Super vibrant. All the ones named Quinacridone seems specially nice. What does that mean? Do you know? The word quinacridone I mean. Quin gold from WN is also very beautiful!
Would love to see you paint with theses Roman Szmal!

Warm greetings from the wintery Mediterranean! ❤️I think Quinacridone is the name of a synthetic/organic created family of colors that were initially used to paint cars! Thankfully they found their way to art materials like watercolors and oils and I am so happy they did because they have unrivaled qualities 😊❤️
I'm sure you've mentioned somewhere in your videos, but om having trouble finding... what paper and brush do you use? I could see the da Vinci maestro, but don't know which series.
Thank you! I'm so enjoying your lovely videos ❤
Hi!! The brush I am using is the DaVinci Maestro series 35 brush, size 2 and the paper I am using in the video I believe is Bockingford cold pressed. Hope this information is helpful! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
@@lilymoonart thank you, yes! Very helpful ❤️
Hi! Why don't you do both videos? One for the mixing with Roman Szmal and another with the Zecchi ones. ;) There are some RS watercolours I love and I want to recommend you: Goethite, Hematine Violet Shade, Ocean Blue and Aquarius Green. Enjoy them and have a nice week!
Thank you so much for the suggestions! 😊❤️
Good morning from Australia ❤
Thank you so much for being here xoxo
I really wish they did these in tubes, I paint with large brush and find tubes work better for me. These paints are not cost effective in half pans for a £ or two more you can get a full pan.
Hi! Watching with interest..,although after getting my Rosa single pigments (and ordering a few more of their single pigments to complete my set)..I can’t imagine…or afford…yet another collection right now. Rosa’s WERE affordable for what you get, and especially for what I need them for. But looking at some of these…🤩. My ONLY issue with RS…I believe they have honey? The biggest reason for Rosa’s is they insist it’s only pigment + arabica gum. (Although..,I’m questioning that because some of them act so similar to QOR, and they have the sheen and stickyness as some of my handmade with honey). BUT, so far, they mix with my mingjiao (a glue in Asian paints to get them to sit on top of ripe (sized) paper; and absorb much slower on raw and semi ripe Xuan paper.) Mingjiao, called something else in Japanese, is what makes Kuratake paints so shiny and pliable.
Anyways, both for our Asian and western painting, I’m looking for paints, mostly single pigments, I can use for mixing..oh, I prefer transparent colors. The few paints I have with honey, don’t mix well with mingjiao and or peach sap gum, to use on Xuan. Ideally, I’d like paints that can be used for BOTH Western & Chinese painting. A lot of one of my tutors students in China, want to paint in both mediums-something we can’t do with Chinese chips (which, like Marie’s, are also suffering in quality)..you CAN get the high quality chips, but at the equiv of $35 for less than 5g..they aren’t affordable for the thousands of art students in China…but the chips also come with other issues like molding and they don’t work on Western paper…unless, of course, you’re going for a very chalky, granulated look.. I tested some new “Natural crimson” chips I got last week…yikes! 😢 They we’re trying to make up for Marie’s deterioration in all their red shades, but especially “peony red”, the supposed equiv of alizarin crimson. Most artists and professors are now using WN A Crimson.. Also, my new chips grew mold within 24hrs…something I expect from my natural gamboge..but NOT these. I spritzed them with 99% alcohol and put the plate in an airtight container. Overall..I was VERY disappointed and glad they sent it for free. One of my tutors is helping me write a review to the company…I can understand most speech and writing..but speaking or writing myself…😖🤷🏼♀️ I just don’t understand how..when western companies are constantly improving their paints; how these companies could be so neglectful of a 2000yr old tradition. (Even after the Spring Gala gave them a not so subtle hint). Prof Chen said it’s because they’ve shifted their marketing to the western market and expanded their lines..ie: Marie’s had sold ONLY Chinese paints until about 6years ago. I still have some of my original set from over 8yrs ago. You can’t even compare to the set I bought for my best friend last Fall, they’re so different and so bad. In the past 5 years, not only have they expanded into Western WC…acrylics, pastels, oil paints, pencils..Prof Chen sent me pictures from their Taobao (like Amaz) store showing everything from furniture, accessories..and a whole line in school supplies..in English. Obviously NOT geared to professional Asian artists anymore.
Ahh well, we WILL find alternatives! Right now, my “brushwater method” (adding mingjiao, sometimes peach sap gum, to brush water, and using single pigment western paints)..preferably with as few additives as possible, is working best and give students, artists and professors the ability to use them on either Xuan or western paper. Until traditional paint makers chose to focus on the artists and schools that made them the ONLY choice for 400 years…some western paint companies are going to get their business.
I wanted to add because a well-known Chinese American artist and teacher has switched almost exclusively to QOR. Unfortunately, there’s a huge drawback. They can’t be wet-mounted. I’m not going to write more.
Suffice it to say, the search for alternatives will continue unless or until, traditional companies get back to the basics.
Meanwhile, so far, ROSA’s is checking all the boxes…
First comment!
You are indeed, haha! 😊😊
The packaging is the worst I have ever seen for any product I have ever purchased at any time. I did put mine in the freezer overnight so the paint didn't stick. But I had trouble getting the pans out of the package--I tried using a mat knife, a screwdriver, and eventually, I gave up and handed them all to my husband, who had to resort to pliers to wrench the pans out of the plastic and cardboard corset.
Worse, the plastic they used for the pans resisted all the markers I tried to use to label the color names. I ended up having to write the names on strips of tape and sticking those to the pans. I am so angry at these paints that, after weeks of sitting on my desk, I still haven't swatched them. I had been buying full pans, cutting the paint block in half, and tamping them into half pans. This is a lot less trouble than buying the half pans in their customer-proof packaging. It's probably cheaper, too.
Oh no! 😞I think they may need to rethink their packaging, hopefully as their halfpans are a relatively new release they will correct all the problems soon! Buying full pans is cheaper I would think and I like your idea of cutting them into two to create two halfpans! 😊
see pee uh sepia
No thank you. Is rather spray my paints than scrape them from their packaging and pray the fruit flies don't make a meal out of them, and the mold that honey based paints grow... no thank you.
