- In this video I swatch and give my first impressions a 48 half pan metal tin of Rembrandt Artist Watercolor paints! Thanks to amazing fans who watched ads and used my Jackson Art Supplies referral link ( tinyurl.com/y8... ).
Since I’m in America, when I order from Jackson’s I try to “go nuts”, placing as large an order as I can for something I either can’t get in America or would be prohibitively expensive. This set of Royal Talens Rembrandt Artists’ Watercolors includes 48 (😳) half pans. Normally I would not get such a big set for something I’ve never tried but in this case the price difference with the smaller sets was such that this was by far the best deal.
This video is a first impression of these paints. In the coming weeks I will be doing a full review of these Rembrandt paints.

Awesome swatches
Thank you for the time it took.And thank you for using quality cotton paper.much appreciated
"Raw Sienna" is a transparent, mainly yellow earth pigment, color dominated by hydrated iron oxide. As such, it can be PY42, PY43 or PBr7, or a mixture thereof. And a mixture can also contain PR101. Siennas and Umbers can be closely related. The important difference is the color (which can vary a lot), because that distinction predates the modern technical. If it looks more yellow than brown, it's a Sienna, otherwise an Umber. Technically, PY43 becomes PBr7 when the Manganese Oxide (browner) content becomes higher than a certain thresholds. Siennas never contain PBr6 (artificial Umber), because Manganese content is not intentionally desired in a Sienna, just something that occur naturally.
And you're right. 😁 Raw Sienna is great as base for European skin tones.
Thank you for this swatching session. I especially enjoy your accompanying monologue. I was on the fence about this set but for the price, quality and quantity, I hit the “BUY” button. And, thank you for recycling. Jacksons, where I bought this set, packs with materials that are recyclable.
Aureoline is a color with three versions a genuine which is PY40(fugitive in lightfastness),a hue made with a yellow and white and lastly one made from just yellow pigments. The hues are light fast while the genuine is fugitive. Also PY150 is really nickel azo yellow which is my fave yellow :3
I am new to watercolor and I have been looking at this set. I use Rembrandt’s pastels (soft) and they are boxed the same way. Glad to see a review on this product. Ty!
Well done.thanks for swatching
i have the 24 metal box set and my Viridian is also underwhelming. i thought maybe i had a faulty viridian but hearing you talk about it in this video has helped me finally find closure with my viridian. thank you for making this video :)
This emerald green looks so great! Never had used. Thanks for showing us this.
Thank you for swatching! Recently I've got an interest in these paints.
Thanks!
Indian red mixed with indigo gives some lovely grey shades for skies and landscape.
Oh I haven’t tried that but I totally will.
Nice! I have the 12 color set. I personally think Talens is a little too optimistic about the lightfastness of some of its colors. With a scale of one to three with almost everything scoring three it's harder to interpret what it means. Compare that to Schmincke, which scores colors with the same pigments with 3, 4 or 5 out of 5. 3 doesn't mean a color is bad, but it may fade in tints, for example.
There's a split between brands that use PBr 7 for the siennas and those that use PY42/43 and PR 101. Winsor & Newton and Schmincke are also in the PY/PR camp. I like transparent PR 101, whatever it happens to be called. I also like a good PBr7 burnt sienna. For me it's most important that the mixes with colors like ultramarine work as expected.
Oh, and I've used a similar tone of raw sienna in several portraits of European people. Does the job quite well, actually. It depends on the exact skin tone and lighting, of course.
Great review! Thank you. I'm also in NYC. Hi neighbor. 😊
Thank you for a great review and swatching.. I think I will pick up this set.
I've got my set of Rembrandt 48 colours about a year ago, and my set has phthalo blue green shade instead of indigo. not sure about the rest of the colours, though, have to check them. And yes first layer of Rembrandts sinks to the paper quite easily, hence colour shift. next layer of colour, even if previous one was not very intense, intensifies colour a lot. guess because paper is sealed with gum arabic, so the pigment stays on top. so if you're not working in layers, that paint might be disapointing to you.
I got my 48 tin from Jackson's Art Supplies and filled it with my own collection of M Graham, Winsor&Newton, Koi and VanGogh paints. VanGogh is a student grade paint, I think, and it works great for what I use it for. I love their Naples Yellow Red for a skin tone and sandy colors. Their Indigo is a great color too. I use it for night skies, or galaxy paintings. I'm not a fan of Viridian green either, I prefer Pthalo Green usually, and/or Hookers' Green to Viridian and even Sap Green. But that's just me. That Not Raw Sienna reminds me more of a Naples Yellow than Raw Sienna though, that was surprising. It's an interesting set, but not one that I would get a whole range of personally. It will still be interesting to see what you make of the paints when you use them more. Nice video, and my mom (And I) loved your kitty at the end by the way. She was walking by when she saw your cat xD
Yes! I made my own set of 48. I’m going to make some changes to it later on.
I also agree about phthalocyanine green! It’s soooo much better than viridian.
I got a tin of 48 on amazon and made my own palette of 48. I showed in the middle of my 128 half pan palette video.
Karia! I’m so glad to have found your video! I’ve been looking at the Rembrandt as well! BTW, thank you for recycling!
Thank you for watching.
I got the Rembrandt’s and I absolutely love them!
That’s so awesome!
Love your take on how these colors resonate to you. Based on your test, I will be purchasing a few tubes to play with!! Thank you so much for this video!!
That’s awesome! Let me know how you like them!
Beautiful set!
They look beautiful, and I liked the swatches they help so much to see how they perform and look, dry I know thats the point but still thanks for sharing can't wait to see how you use them. Many blessings
Thank you so much! Let me know if you have any questions!
Love that transparent Brown and sepia ❤
Thank you for this video. I just got this set and did swatches last night. I see that my set was slightly different. I don't have Indigo, I have Phthalo Blue Greenish instead. It's PB15. I got this for travel and plein air so I'll see how it goes.
hi there! just wanted to pop in and ask if you your rembrandt viridian also behaves the same way karia's does - difficult to rewet, not intense, super light. mine is like that and i've been wondering if i just got a faulty viridian or if that's the way rembrandt makes it. any input would be greatly appreciated! hope you're well!
the difference between phtalo green and viridian is first af all the granulation (viridian is granulating - for dreamy effects for example) and in the end of course in the mixes. usually non of the most used greens of many landscape artists is used pure. always it's about, what can I do with it in a mix. so, I guess, that is why some colours are like they are and still around for more than 100 years. although, the trend to reduce granulation was broken in later years
Great video but the cat part was my favourite! ❤
Excellent. Thank you for using arches paper!
No problem! It’s not cheap but I feel like that lets the paints show their stuff.
thanks for your reviewing :-)
Thank you for watching!
the brush looks to be something great. I mean sable! not bad. to bring the hairs in form, is to wrap then in paper tissue when it is wet. to dry. I just heard that yesterday from a live stream on the DaVinci channel (the live stream was a few mothn old. I just happened to watch it yesterday)
great video - love how you discuss pigment #s and drying shifts - paints look beautiful - thanks :)
I really like these paints, I’m curious what you think of them when you’ve used them more!
I’m playing around with it they seem really nice but I am still loving my sennelier paints. 🤣🤣
the swatches look so beautiful besides the viridian!
Ive got this One today and im soo Happy!
That’s so awesome! Let me know how you like it.
If you could only pick Sennelier 48 set or Rembrandt set which one would you want?
So close! If you plan to do a lot of layering I would totally go with the sennelier. Otherwise I would with whichever is more affordable as they both very good and will both last a long long time.
I have watched you channel enough to know where you heart is! LOL. I love painting botanicals so I think Sennelier would be the best I guess I just have to jump!
Do you know if the brush come with the paints for free or the price of the brush is included with the price of these watercolor?
Yes. It came with a size 6 sable brush. But the exact brush sometimes changes. They put in what they have to maintain production and shipping schedules.
@@ColoringKaria i didn't understand yes that mean the brush came for free?
@@bigboyanimation3799 the cost of the brush is included in some sets. You have to check what’s included in whatever set you are looking at buying. If a brush is included you’ll get one.
@@ColoringKaria OK thanks
What do you think about the ultramarines? Both are only pb29 right? Wich one is more satured in your opinion? Thanks
honestly i dont useeither much and my ultramarine hasbeen the sennelier ultramarine for a long time.
you might have heard it meanwhile - it's PrUssian blue (prashian blue - sorry, but I don't have the signs available for a correct statement). what you said, was more persian blue. like Persia the former Iran :-)
Thanks for the swatches! I love the colors, how are you liking them 2 years on?
Sorry for the delay! In getting back. So I still really like them. The colors are vibrant and fun the only thing is that they take a minute to dry in the half pan so I might like a different set for painting on the go but if you are home or in a studio this is great for that.
@@ColoringKaria No problem, and thanks!
Can you compare Rembrandt to Schmincke watercolor paints in pans? I am wondering which is better to purchase since I found them in similar price :)
i like them both maybe schmicke is better more but both are good. if you can get both sets for the same price go with shcminke, otherwise differences are minimal
@@ColoringKaria Thanks for your opinion :) Do you think a set of 24 or 36 is better for a beginner?
Did you mean Persian blue or Prussian blue? Nice Swatches!
What brush did you use for the swatches?
Silver Black Velvet looks like a size 4
Teal is more green than turquoise.😊
😅 ok so stupid question: teal is greener, is it also always a darker value?
ColoringKaria yes. Both turquoise and teal can be shades and tints, so in terms of shade values either one could be darker. But because teal has more blue in it, it is naturally darker in hue , we see it as greener even though it is bluer than turquoise. Turquoise is less blue than teal, but oddly looks more blue because it is less intent, less hue, less pigments. So teal is often darker, looks greener, but is technically a little more bluer and so looks greener and darker. I researched my answer just in case.
Thank you so much for that! Now I’m going to be on the lookout for those colors. And try to tell them apart. I’ve always seen them as one color.
Prussian blue, not Persian blue😉 A whole different region...
As someone from a part of the Netherlands not called Holland I prefer to use the official country name. ;) But foreigners can use either and nobody will be offended. You also pronounced Rembrandt's name fine.
Yay thank you! I’ll keep that in mind. Though strangely the packaging says “made in Holland”
ColoringKaria true, that. You will see it on many Dutch products. I think it's more of a branding thing. I never understood why.
I just ordered the 12 pan set, 48 colours is over kill, also dangerous because you think you have to use them all which is not good for the paintings, they'll end up looking like a child painted them lol
Everyone is different. I pick out which 3-6 colors I want to use for any one painting or sketch and stick to it. Using all the colors is a bad idea. But it’s not hard to remember which colors one is using. At least not for me. 😄
Hi karia do you use pans or tubes?
Depend on the paints. I prefer to work from dried pans.
Hello, I was looking into these paints and found your swatching video. Are these really matte because I heard someone else saying that. I am not familiar with Sennelier, but I hear you say they are more vibrant. I don’t like paints that are really matte, no shine at all. Thank you😌
Judith F sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I’m a little confused by this question. Vibrant colors and matte paints aren’t the same thing. For the most part watercolors are not matte expect for some extremely opaque colors. Watercolor isn’t really a matte medium. These are shiny, I think most watercolors are.
@@ColoringKaria I asked you this question because I know vibrant and matte are not the same thing, how would I not know that. I watched several videos where they say the Sennelier watercolors after they dried, they are not as vibrant as other brands. You say they are vibrant, so that's the confusing thing
The way the question was worded it was confusing as too what exactly was meant. Ok so to answer this question. It’s all about how you use them. If you don’t layer at all than sennelier doesn’t have the same first layer vibrancy for a lot of colors compared to something like Daniel Smith. But if you layer a lot than sennelier paints create and vibrancy and luminosity that is hard to match. A lot of other brands don’t layer or lift easily but sennelier gets more vibrant and wonderful as you layer. There are a lot of things that people don’t know. I don’t know what people know or don’t know.
it’s not “Persian” blue its “Prussian” Blue
Judith F already discussed in the comments.
ha ha european are Raw Sienna skin colouring, I think you have insulted most of europe ! I dont know anyone with yellow skin ! I love the rembrandt brush I use it all the time.
