Let me know what your favourite colour is, and if you have any favourites I haven't got yet 😉 I plan to post every Sunday so subscribe if you want to get my videos in your feed!
you make the best swatching videos on the internet. I completely get into the zone. It's quite psychedelic and I totally relate to the ecstasy you convey. So much fun. some of us just don't need any other drugs. I'd call that a good thing. I' ll watch any and every swatching video you post. How about showing the colors on different papers, or how they mix. Just let them shine and tell us all about them and how you feel about them...... I'll ditch any movie for it.🤩
Thank you for sharing these. I can watch swatching for hours. I know, some of us are bit weird like that. I have been collecting RS pans for quite some time whenever there is a Jackson's sale. Haven't got to swatching all them yet. I think once that watercolor bug bites you, it's hard not to be become obsessed with the pigments and colors especially as they mix with water and then dry. I'm quite sure it's an addiction (without regrets) but Roman sure knows how to play to our weakness.
I'm also in the swatching weirdo club, I can watch it over and over again, it's so soothing to my brain! And so meditative to watch the paint moving on the paper and in water, it's a mental health investment 😊😊
One of the best ever watercolour swatching videos! Love everything about it. Your voice is so mellow and full of the joy in colour. I have some of the Roman Szmal paints and love them. I’ll now be buying more. Thank you for a hugely enjoyable experience.
Roman Szmal's Quinacridone Scarlet is one of my favourites - I'm very picky about reds and it's the perfect warm red without crossing too far to the orange side.
These are really useful to see. I love Roman Szmal paints and I’m tempted by a few here. I also go more for turquoise and gold over primaries, ultramarine isn’t my favourite on its own. I think I’m sold on misty morning, I don’t know that a mix will work quite the same but I’ll try it out.
Great part 2. I really like your big swatches. So, I've added Misty Morning, Perylene Green, Caput Mortuum, Iron Chrome Brown & Shadow Grey to my wish list thanks to your lovely video 💝💌🎁
Jessica- Just got an email form Jackson's that the Roman Szmal Autumn Green is back in stock (2-16-23). I just grabbed one. Hope you can catch it before it goes back out of stock.
Climber! Pigment nerd extraordinaraire! Salute, sister spirit Jules✨ Here's to making glorious colorful messes! So very pleased to have made your acquaintance 😊🌈🌲
PS. 62 Roman Szmal paints (but thanks to you I'm adding the ultramarine violet, perylene violet, and... oh, hell, who knows, 'cuz they're on sale at present)
Thank you for swatching all these colors. They are all very beautiful and interesting pigments. I always went around Roman Szmal because of the lack of tubes. Perhaps I should really give the pans a try, they look amazing.
It's worth picking up a few to try, though I agree it's unfortunate that we can't mix and match pans in palettes very easily without tubes. However, I think they are plan on eventually making tubes! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video 🥰
Thanks for these swatching videos. I don’t have any Roman Szmal paints yet as full pans wouldn’t fit very well in my current storage, but I see Jacksons now sell half pans in some colours. The colours are so vibrant I will have to try. When you are doing the swatches, I would love if you could write the names & pigments first. My memory is poor (Long Covid) but helped by seeing the written info at the same time as listening to your interesting comments. I guess other people might prefer not…
Ah that's a good point, thank you for the feedback - I also have a bad memory so I always have to write things down when watching other people's videos 😅 I'll do that in future (though I already have another video prefilmed so that won't be the case for that one). Indeed, they just released half pans, a much more space-efficient way to try out the paints! I hope you love them!
Just to agree with and add to what dancing paint brush said. I too have a terrible memory. Not in the normal day to day bad memory where you occasionally forget things that you feel you should remember, but as in you say the colour, then paint it and talk about it, before you have finished painting, I have forgotten the name of the colour and have to skip back to hear it again. Yes I could write it down, but then I'd have to write the name of every paint as you said it, then I'd get confused as to which name went with which colour, and honestly, I'd be guaranteed to forget to write some of the names down even while sat with my pen in my hand listening 😂😂😂 don't worry though, I definitely write down the names of those I want! 😂 Other than feeling a bit confused which is honestly quite normal for me, I'm really enjoying your videos and I'm going to work my way through them, your enthusiasm is infectious and the swatchening is very helpful as I decide which paints to splash out on, thank you very much 😊
Thank you! I am in Vancouver Canada and have recently bought some of the Roman Szmal pans from Gwartzmans in Toronto which I believe holds the Canadian distribution for them. Beautiful colours!
i couldn’t quite catch what you said about the final swatches on that smaller paper; what kind of paper is that you used for those larger swatches? thanks for your demonstrations of all these colors! it really helped me find a couple more to add to my ever expanding Jackson’s Favorites list lol
I got them from Amazon DE at this link, I'm sure they're available on Amazon in other countries too- the brand is Pandahall! Thanks so much for watching 🥰 amzn.eu/d/ap6A4WX
I recently bought my first 2 half pans of RS. I'm so excited to use them (Viridian & Cobalt Coelin Blue) need more now tho. 😅 My Favorites would be Autumn Green, Misty Blue, Shadow Violet, Mineral Violet... Lazurite, Malachite.. Przybyzs' grey, Viviane.. exits too many beautiful colors 😭😆
@@chromaphile Yeah I can imagine.. RS had such a stunningly range of colors. It's hard to resist because, so many favorites that hits exactly my taste!
Yes I do, though I'm not super experienced at painting yet. Since it's synthetic it doesn't hold a huge amount of water but I like the versatility of the fine point vs the area you can cover quickly
Thank you for prompt replies and your kind response. I stumbled on to your channel via my interest in Roman Szmal watercolors. The first video I watched was this “Part 2”. I just finished viewing the “Part 1” and discovered you provided specific information regarding the paper and the brush you would be using.
maybe the one with the agenda against reds is you... lol jk jk.... watched all the swatchening.... thanks for all the info on the pigments and colors... have a good schmincke collection.. a limited white nights and limited sennelier... got last month naturale II from A Gallo and im going to Warsaw in august and i plan on getting some Roman Szmal paints!!!!! i think im officially in the crazy watercolor person category.... I know this is a hard question but which would be your 10 must have Roman Szmal colors? we know quin cherry red wont be one of them... lol
@@mua4ever632 quin cherry red is a beautiful paint, just not for me indeed 😁 I think I may have to make a video for the top ten, it's going to take me too long to think 😂
@@chromaphile thank you!!!!! Your videos are the best and are very helpful!!! Your swatches and info about pigment and the performance of the paints helped me pick some good Schmincke colors!!!! I’m excited to get some Roman Szmal!!!! Ty ty 💛🩵🩷

Um… I think this is just about the most relaxing thing in the world to watch. Thank you for making them.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hope I can keep making relaxing and fun videos for you 😊

Uuuurgh I need so many of those! Just such a beautiful collection.
That's the reason I haven't been able to stop myself buying them yet 😅😅
Very useful for choosing which set of RS watercolour piant to start with
Thank you! That's exactly what I was hoping :)
@@chromaphile I just made a purchase based on your swatches
I hope you love them as much as I love mine! You'll have to let me know your favourites 😊

Thank you so much oh my goodness!! This makes me so happy. I'm so glad you enjoyed watching, let me know if there's any other videos I should make!
Roman Szmal's Quinacridone Scarlet is one of my favourites - I'm very picky about reds and it's the perfect warm red without crossing too far to the orange side.
I absolutely agree, I love quinacridone scarlet so much I actually bought a spare pan even though I'm not running low- I never want to be without it 😅
@@chromaphile I did the same thing!
These are really useful to see. I love Roman Szmal paints and I’m tempted by a few here. I also go more for turquoise and gold over primaries, ultramarine isn’t my favourite on its own. I think I’m sold on misty morning, I don’t know that a mix will work quite the same but I’ll try it out.
I've definitely managed to make similar mixes with cobalt turquoise and quin magenta! So glad you found it helpful!
Great part 2. I really like your big swatches. So, I've added Misty Morning, Perylene Green, Caput Mortuum, Iron Chrome Brown & Shadow Grey to my wish list thanks to your lovely video 💝💌🎁
Oooh lovely choices! Misty morning was my first ever watercolour paint, such an amazing one. I hope you love them! 🥰
I’m grumpy I didn’t catch the autumn green before it was out of stock….your swatches look great!
Oh nooo you'll have to keep an eye out for when it's back!
Me too. I didn't realize it was released so I'm on the Notify when in stock email list.
@@cj_kirby they're releasing more new colours this year! It's getting me through the year 😂😂
Jessica- Just got an email form Jackson's that the Roman Szmal Autumn Green is back in stock (2-16-23). I just grabbed one. Hope you can catch it before it goes back out of stock.
Absolutely beautiful ❤
I really love looking at them all 😍
Have you tried the Lapis from Afghanistan?
@@Ani1boo no, I'll never buy any lapis paints, they're just too expensive. They look beautiful though!
Climber! Pigment nerd extraordinaraire! Salute, sister spirit Jules✨ Here's to making glorious colorful messes! So very pleased to have made your acquaintance 😊🌈🌲

Thank you for such a kind comment, looking forward to sharing more colour nerdiness with you!
@@chromaphile did I spell your name correctly?!
@@entropycop yes you did!
Useful knowing more about this brand. Thank you.
I'm glad I can help 😊

Thank you for the crazy "swatchening"- This review is really well designed. It is a model of how to conduct a product review.
Thank you! I am in Vancouver Canada and have recently bought some of the Roman Szmal pans from Gwartzmans in Toronto which I believe holds the Canadian distribution for them. Beautiful colours!
Wonderful, which colours did you choose? :D
the middle rows are the perfect autumn colours
They absolutely are!
i couldn’t quite catch what you said about the final swatches on that smaller paper; what kind of paper is that you used for those larger swatches? thanks for your demonstrations of all these colors! it really helped me find a couple more to add to my ever expanding Jackson’s Favorites list lol
I used Khadi cotton paper for the bigger swatches 😊 glad you found it helpful!!
Reminds me of a beach or some kind of sand setting.
Another informative video - thank you. Would you provide a link for the small white tins that hold 12 full pans so perfectly and the size of the tins?
I got them from Amazon DE at this link, I'm sure they're available on Amazon in other countries too- the brand is Pandahall! Thanks so much for watching 🥰 amzn.eu/d/ap6A4WX
Thank you. I got them. Really like that I can fit 12 full pans securely without magnets or tape.
I'm happy to hear it! Yes I thought they were truly magic when I got them ☺️
I recently bought my first 2 half pans of RS.
I'm so excited to use them (Viridian & Cobalt Coelin Blue) need more now tho. 😅
My Favorites would be Autumn Green, Misty Blue, Shadow Violet, Mineral Violet... Lazurite, Malachite.. Przybyzs' grey, Viviane.. exits too many beautiful colors 😭😆
It's good to start small! It's safe to say I liked them so much it got a little out of hand 😊 I love both those colours!
@@chromaphile Yeah I can imagine.. RS had such a stunningly range of colors. It's hard to resist because, so many favorites that hits exactly my taste!
Haha yes exactly, it's such an appealing range it's hard to resist - plus they're so relatively affordable!
@@chromaphile They are, Indeed!
I appreciate that you titled this a "swatchening" hahaha
It's the best description 😁😁
Which brush are you using in this video?
It's a da vinci spin synthetics quill number 1!
Do you use it for more than swatching? I tend to like quills but have not tried this brush.
Yes I do, though I'm not super experienced at painting yet. Since it's synthetic it doesn't hold a huge amount of water but I like the versatility of the fine point vs the area you can cover quickly

Did you pre wet your palette?
Nope, they just rewet that easily :)
