I totally agree with the message. :) There are student grade paints, that are fun to use and which I love so much. Great paper on the other side is something to go with. :)
Another difference is that cheap paint fades faster than expensive ones. So if you paint for selling and the paint is displayed, it may fade very quickly. Would be interesting to have these two hang on the same wall for a year and see how's the color difference after that. ;)
@@JosieViolet Maybe try to make a photo in every month under similar light conditions, so you can have a quick time-lapse. I don't know about Daniel Smith paint, but Van Gogh has a 100 years guarantee under museum conditions. ;)
Of course, it also depends on which colors have been used. But this general claim that all artist quality colors are light fast is not entirely true. There are also exceptions to the rule, e.g. Aureolin PY40 turns brown after a while under the influence of light.
Agreed! Both are lovely. The biggest difference is the quality paper 👌 and mileage on the brush. I love my expensive paints and my cheap paints! Both are very valuable. A phthalo blue with lots of binder = a phthalo blue that doesn't stain every dang thing it touches = a phthalo blue for the travel palette. Perfect!
I often lack granulation with cheap paint because some colors are based on dyes. Some colors have a strange cluster effect that can occur with more water.

Agreed! For watercolour, paper is everything!

What a great idea!! I’ll stick it up facing the window and see what happens 😊

With Artist Quality Paint, there may be colors that fade quickly or change colour, so there is light fastness information on the paints.
@@askialuna7717 Here, the question is HOW BIG the difference is, the cheap one shows in comparison to the expensive one. ;)

Many thanks for this comparison!

You’re so right, I barely touch my Daniel Smith phthalo blue - it’s too strong for me (or I haven’t figured out how to use it properly 😂)
Both are beautiful sketches!
Thanks Aleksey! 😊

Yeah I definitely noticed the lack of granulation in the skies on the first wash!
Which paper did u used?
arches cold press 😊
awesome vid
Would be interesting if you didn't label the pictures, maybe I would not be able to guess which one is more expensive.
the expensive one definitely looks more saturated
