I LOVE that little painting you did with the plants and those gorgeous colors! they are so soothing - I'll take them over vibrant. I'd say you made a good little choice!!
Oh.my.gosh. That pallette is adorable! I DO have a pallette addiction...I actually like the color choice you ordered and the idea of painting with the planet and the "travel"-ability of this is a great idea. The colors are really tiny, but that would fit perfectly into my purse for just fun, sketchbook stuff! Thank you for sharing!!!
i love the delicate muted colour collection > soil < who would have thought that it would be possible i imagine you couldn't really compare it with anything as it's a stand-out/stand-alone but they are wicked i also have a palette addiction, it's my one vice along with stationary but that counts as art supplies also, i can see myself purchasing this set in the near future....thanks Emma ☮☯
@@difficult.e no. Natural paints are cheaper. After all, you get them by waking into your own back yard. These marketing people are genius. In 1991 the world economic forum said they could hire a few celebrities to say pollution, global warning and water enough times that the wilfully ignorant would pick it up and carry the torches to their own destruction, never realizing the real event is humanity itself. Look at you people now. So wilfully pretending to care about the environment, paying more for dirt. Even daniel smith only charges $5.00 a half pan supposed natural pigments. I especially love beam paints. Claim to make it from the soil right there on their own land. My ass. I'll give you $20. If you find blue or green or bright yellow soil on their land, better yet anywhere in the USA. People need to stop being so damn gullible
I got a sample card from this company a few weeks ago - 25 of the mini-pods and have enjoyed them. I don’t think I’d use them as a primary palette as they do not seem to mix well but I do love the colors. They are a great option for having fun in your sketchbook. I also am enjoying the hint of a clove scent when I use them.
Hi Emma, I love the idea of painting with soil. I make my own paints from local rocks and yes the colors are more muted. I find the paints made from ochres are more pigmented. I don’t think I will ever find the color blue so if I want blue I use it from a regular palette. My own paints are much more granular and act more like gouache. I love to use them especially for woodland scenes, animals ,birds,trees of all sorts. We live in a touristy place near National Forest so I’m able to sell my paintings to those who want to take apart of the landscape home with them. I also love collecting Beam Paintstones. What’s not to like about Beam paints?! Thank you for a lovely video. Happy painting . 😀
I think this palette would be great for plein air painting. It’s cute, and I like that you get a lot of colors, but you can’t really paint anything larger than a postcard.
I love these cute little paint sets. I bought the carbon rainbow set along with some specified sets made with the soil from different regions ~ Yellowstone National Park, Moab, Utah, and the Atlantic Ocean. The reason yours are so weak is because of the color selections you chose. Most of my colors are more pigmented and brighter than yours. I have some more pigmented greens also. With that being said, I love love your beautiful little more muted set and the pots you painted are so beautiful! Different than the “normal “ watercolor sets we own but gorgeous nonetheless. I hope you embrace the difference of this special paint and begin enjoying it more. The painting from it is truly gorgeous, soft, and beautiful. 💗
Hi Emma- thanks for reviewing these watercolours. Have you tried Stoneground Company watercolours? They are handmade here in Canada, and have a wide range of colours - earthy, granulating and vibrant. Art retailers across Canada sell them. I have tried their earth pallete, and it is suited to landscapes, more than florals, but they have some beautiful vibrant colours. They also sell individual pans.
@@EmmaLefebvre I was going to recommend the same thing! I just got some and I'm absolutely loving them, and the Hookers Green is my favourite green ever.
I think the tiny wooden box is adorable and I love that you can refill with other colours. Even though there may be some you don’t like, you could replace them with brighter ones. I have travelled with a small (8”x5”) Cotman cold pressed spiral-bound pad and Staedler watercolour pencils. I just looked through the paintings from 2000 ton2004. What a hoot! It’s nice to have other options and I will definitely look these up and maybe ask for a set for Christmas. This paint box would be great to include in my travel kit. I wonder if they make an eco-friendly white?
Hi Emma, have you seen the wooden pallet by A. Gallo in Asissi, Italy? Beautiful! Their paints are also eco friendly, very pigmented and lovely. They open their website about once a month once they have stocked up. I treated myself to the palet and some paints and love it, though the price is a bit steep. I think you will love it too! I enjoyed this review, thanks!
The pallete is very cute and I love the fact that it is so eco-friendly. Emma, since you like vibrant colors have you ever tried Qor paints? I am fairly new at this and was given them as a gift. I really like how vibrant they are but as I watch more tutorials I almost feel that they are harder to control because of how pigmented they are. Likely due to my lack of experience and I don’t have much to compare them to. 😊. Thank you!
I would like to try the crayon sticks they show in their website. They do not have any information on them that I can find. I did love your painting and the colors are beautiful, but they are a bit pricey and almost everything is sold out. I will wait to find out about the colored sticks. Thank you for sharing!
Well they are super cute, as well as expensive, and they’re sold out of 90% of their products. I love palates but they have to go with great paints too. As you said it might be the color pallet you chose. But it’ll make a great little travel pallets, and when they are empty, either trying to buy some colors you do love or filling them with a dab of tube paint in awesome colors. I do wish they sold just that darling little box. Living in the southwest desert my colors have to be really specific. Desert flowers, cactus, desert brush and animals. Any animal but I’d really like to be able to depict my life long home area.
Yay, I finally found the “thank you “ where we can send $ to help support your channel! It’s called a Super Thanks! Swipe left 👍 near the like/ share!! Whoo-hoo!
looks very expensive for some pretty bland colors... yes the box is cute.. but that is what you are buying.. and these days we will buy almost anything that is cute.. it's the outside that counts, right?
Thanks for all this information. I am wondering if the paper you chose is more subdued or if all the paints are low that. They did look user friendly though. And I loved the little potted plants. 🪴
I personally love the colour pallette Emma and its just the right size as you say for travel. It would definitely trend toward landscapes I think, either way Yhank you for sharing this video with us xx
Hi Emma...love your videos... about this palette ...these are more ideal for urban sketches, portraits, and cute illustrations... actually they are right up your alleys in terms of illustrations.... here's an idea ..why not try a composition tutorial on your sons' story books...like...make a page from the book come alive with a painting?... love to learn more through you...loads of love to you and your family.
Dear Emma, The first sienna colour is nice. The rest are bleh. I wouldn't be happy with these. I feel like I am looking through a blurry filter. I can hear your disappointment, but I would have been far more vocal, unable to stop the "bleh" sound from naturally exiting my mouth. When they are hand mades, I have trouble contacting the owner/seller/maker for a refund, as it is a lot of time making them. It only happens occasionally, but it does turn you off painting with a set. It reminds me of my recent experience with Schmincke. A few of the super granulating range in Volcano and Shire, were also like this for some people, so batch issues, which has kind of turned me off the set. I bought them in 1/4 pans, as it was affordable, but then got stuck. It is difficult to think, how one can use a product in a different way to make the most of the set's unusual qualities, if you could call them that. When I am not happy, I find not only do I put up with it, I can't send it back, I can't ask for a refund, and I can't give them away either. They are removed from my collection after a couple of attempts and placed in our garage. The joy never returns. I collect palettes too, and sometimes the gummy nature, or lack of pigment is frustrating, and costly. Here in Australia, some of our colours creep, the ones made with honey, shift out of the wooden box palette, and end up all over the place. So these are the three reasons why something can be a horrible experience. At least Emma, you have composure, a true woman of the world. I admire this in you. Thanks for the video, they stole your initial joy, leaving you with disappointment. I hope you find many ways to get the joy back from this set.

Way too expensive. Paying for advertising. One can get the same paints from prima marketing forest palette for 20 something. Except they are more pigmented and have a higher tinting strength. Go on your back yard, cut a limb, split it, drill holes, sand, oil. Bam better for less. Anyone telling you they got blue pigment from soil is a gd liar. The soil the Mayans used to make Mayan blue doesn't exist anymore.

Thanks for the review. That’s an adorable little palette and I love the little mini plants you painted. So fun to see new products!
Adorable and beautiful pallet. I like the muted colors. I can see painting a semi-abstract landscape of some hills and maybe an old barn.
i love the delicate muted colour collection > soil < who would have thought that it would be possible

Love the down to earth colors and natural packaging and Not plastic , a little pricey but environment friendly , thanks Emma for your review xoxo
No they aren't. My gosh
@@phillipstroll7385 these are synthetic paints right??

I do like the earthy colors, you did a beautiful job controlling the pigments.
Thanks for sharing
Hi Emma great product,thanks for sharing Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️
These are like a dream come true for me. Softer,muted colors are my thing. They're out of the eco pods right now but signing up for their newsletter.

The potted plant pic you did with the palette was lovely.
Thanks 😊 Emma for sharing this ❤️ with us!!! So cute, ... please do this again! A California Gramma ♥️
Landscapes…definitely! I think they are gorgeous.
I, too, have a pallete addiction. I would love to try them in small batches & just have fun with them
I really like the pigment! Very cool
They look like skin colors to me but they also a fit to a landscape. Cute concept.
I would paint a forest scene with fall leaves, fox, deer, squirrel, and many gnomes and fairies.

Definitely interesting….would be nice to see other pallets they do with more brighter colours??
Question do you paint flat or at an incline?? If so how much. Thanks I subscribe and you have taught me a lot.
I love this pallet, it's so cute and I also love the muted colors. Be cool for cards and tags.

I don't think this paint is for me but your paintings are beautiful and I do love the soft colors.
This is Paula again. I should have corrected my auto correct before I pressed send! 🙃 the correct word was palette not paper.

Very pricey but not bad.. I love it's presentation.
Dick Blicks has a porcelain flower dish on sale for $7!
Emma: "I think I have a pallet addiction"
Me: ATRACKED 🤣🤣
Emma didn’t realise how small they are ,they wouldn’t last long I like the pastel colours

Beam paints!!
I’m all about products that are eco friendly. There is too much waste!
Check out beam paints too! I’m a big fan!
Way too expensive. Paying for advertising. One can get the same paints from prima marketing forest palette for 20 something. Except they are more pigmented and have a higher tinting strength. Go on your back yard, cut a limb, split it, drill holes, sand, oil. Bam better for less.
Anyone telling you they got blue pigment from soil is a gd liar.
The soil the Mayans used to make Mayan blue doesn't exist anymore.
Paint palette. Excuse me.
