- My main regret is that I did not add few more colors in this set to make the review even more credible, color selection wise. Well, I can update the review once Ive added few more colors, given the chance and budget. :)

Dear Allan, You can write to me, I will send you some more samples ... www.isaro.be/shop/gb/contact-us - Isabelle
Hi again Isabelle. Thank you for you comment. I just sent you a message. 🙏🏻
The tips for re:overseas purchases is GOLD! Thank you, Arch. Allan. And as usual, thanks for your honest review
Thanks din po. Hehe. Yes, i shared those tips para hindi matakot yung iba na bumili abroad. Medyo nakaka adik nga lang kasi you get to buy items na wala rito sa Pinas.hehe
Your paintings are beautiful regardless of the paint that you use 🎉. You demonstrate the difference between so many brands which I appreciate ❤
Thank you for your appreciation Diana. 🙏 happy Holidays. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada Merry Christmas to you 😇
I really find your reviews useful, :) as an art student with a tight budget in purchasing art supplies im glad na nahanap ko tong channel na to and knowing na youre a filipino din
Salamat Zarah. The good thing when your budget is tight is that you start humble and experience art materials from the basics. Mas natututo kang piliin yung importante at basic and from there, you'll maximize what you have. It's a good training. Yes will continue this passion hanggat may mga nanonood po na kagaya niyo. ☺️🎨🙏🏻
I really like your simple landscape paintings. 😊😻
Thank you. 🙏🏻🎨🐾🐱
I went into panic when the original post of this video went missing😂😂 Thank god for this re upload
Hahaha. I panicked too! I was planning to just cut the error part at RUclips's editor, but i didn't want to lose the information in that part, so i just decided to reupload. ☺️🎨
I love these paints for landscape and glow............Thanks Allan. You did it again!
Glad you like them! I love Isaro as theyre good and yet just so humbly made. Thanks again, Judith. :)
Excellent tips about ordering international. Additionally the size and weight matter, and the size matters more than the weight... in other words it will cost you a lot more to ship something larger vs something heavier. If you want to buy paper for example, you will be able to ship for a lot less if you buy a smaller pad or block than a full sheet, even if it is heavier.
I love watching your channel because I can get the watercolor supplies just from Shopee and Shopee Malaysia got similar products like the one in Philippines too. Too bad Isaro and some other brands not available but I still enjoy watching your videos because it's very helpful. Thank you.
Looking forward for Superior Accordion watercolor video from you😊.
Oh wow! the Accordion is the one im uploading later. You may order Isaro at Jackson's are. Just know the limits of your customs and youll be good.
Your paintings always look gorgeus, no matter if the paints are student or artist grade, but they look way more vibrant and "alive" when you use high quality paints. For sure a set in my wish list, but I would like to get a couple more colors.
Thank you Didi. Yes, it really helps alot in making good looking artworks, and longer lasting too. And not just that.. it also saves your mood. 🎨☺️
@@AllanJayQuesada Oh yess! Nothing worst than working with frustating paints...I personally get very frustrated when using Sakura Koi watercolors and I get so happy when I use my Cotman or Schmincke 😄
@@didi7074 i think, to save the Koi, you can use it at gouache. Since its bad texture is emphasized in light washes, you may use them in thicker applications. 😉🎨
@@AllanJayQuesada I actually started using my koi as gouache a few months ago! When you mix them with white, they remind gouache so much, especially when they dry bc of their texture. Ofc they are not as creamy and opaque, but not bad for some gouache doodles
I have two tubes of Isaro, steel blue and chartreuse. The chartreuse is the same pigment marketed by Kramer as Irgazin yellow, a lovely single pigment green gold. I was not impressed with the steel blue. This range has some unusual pigments, and is useful for that. They behave well, but would not be my first choice, the Chartreuse was easier to get from Jackson’s than ordering from Kremer in Germany as the delivery charges for small items are off the scale expensive and I could add these colours to a bigger order from Jackson’s and not lose an arm or a leg. I do mix my brands a little so these fitted in ok with the right sets. IMO irgazin yellow is a good addition to any palette, a mixed green gold hasn’t got the same luminosity. Besides which a standard palette does not offer such unique colours, you have to look a bit further for the pigments that you really like.
yeah, i love that color, it's PY129. it is strong, yet very transparent and lightfast. sometimes, if PY129 is not available, I can use PY150 which is a warmer version but comparable transparency and strength. Kremer is from US right? I have 2 sets of Kremer, but i haven't reviewed them yet. Sadly, I cant find a seller here who sells individual pans of Kremer, only by sets. Shipping I agree costs alot. from US to here its around 80usd, so i didnt push my order.lol
Watercolors by Allan Jay Quesada, Kremer is a German company with a branch in New York. I can order their products from a couple of art shops in the U.K. which also sell their pigments. Unfortunately postage from Germany and the US is prohibitive. 🙁 Even for relatively small items. If you enjoy their products and need replacements then getting someone in Germany or NY to bring them for you is probably easier! They are a huge pigment company and probably supply the pigments for some of the brands you are familiar with, and also supply historic pigments for the restoration experts.
@@AllanJayQuesada you could try AP Fitzpatrick in London who stock Kremer paints. They say if you tell them the specific paints you want from the Kremer Germany catalogue they will order them in. Worth seeing if they ship to your country and the charge. Otherwise they do the sets and the pigments. I love the no 1 set of whole pans.
I’ve been intrigued by the Isaro paints and grateful for your thorough review. I especially love the little painting you do. I must say I thought the colours when dry in your painting look so full of clarity and a beautiful cool light to them. A very elegant and refined look. Of course this is reminiscent of the cooler northern countries. I checked Jackson’s only today and the Isaro line seems to have a lot more colour choices than Jacksons originally had. I’m very tempted now to try these especially your sky mix regarding the flow and the burnt Sienna and P. Grey.
Now I’m off to see if you did the m graham review…toodle-oo 🤗
They look very nice and traditional. And the color selection looks like an (almost) perfect set for me. I love PY154 as the perfect mid yellow. Yellow ochre looks a bit greenish for me, I prefer a more reddish one. I might have swapped the orange oxide for yet another cooler red or a phthalo green/viridian. And Payne’s gray is beautifully blue and perfect for grisaille.
Definitely agree to your points. I actually purchased 2 more tubes to compliment this set. Btw, yes my reply is months late. ✌️ 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada glad to see you back!
Great review!
Thank you 😊
I have never used that brand. Sounds interesting. It may not be available where I live. But I do use Daniel Smith, DaVinci (awesome perm alizarin crimson is the best really and Cerulean), M.Graham, Winsor and Newton (2) and Schminke. I don't need too much paint but my palette is a mixed one from over the years of testing. Daniel Smith is very nice but I honestly save $ by using DaVinci which is just as nice. On comparing certain colors I just would have a preference. I still have a White Nights phalogreen too. Oh and Holbein gouache of course. Great landscapes off the cuff. I enjoy your reviews and when I run out of ultramarine blue I know who has a ton. 🤗
Woooaaahhh ISAROOO!!! Although quality ang mga paints na yan.. Pero naastigan ako sa pangalan hehe....saka hottie yang si Isabel Roelofs hehe
Sounds like Japanese to me sir. Tunog Warrior eh. Hehe. Ay parang nakita ko nga yang si Isabel naka posing sa website. ☺️🎨
Jacksons is on sale this week, I'm deciding if I want this right now. Thanks for the video :)
You might have probably bought something from Jacksons by now. I got some items during the sale too! hahha
I enjoyed your review greatly my friend, beautiful pigments and I love your painting showing them off. Cheers from Canada my friend xoxo
Thanks my friend. Keep safe and enjoy painting.. im still thinking about getting my huge porcelain palette just like yours. Hehe🎨☺️🙏🏻
@@AllanJayQuesada bwahahaha omg that makes me laugh, we're so crazy... People who love watercolors I mean! I coveted and begged for an early Xmas gift hahaha everyday for weeks until I was allowed to order one hahaha its so worth it to me, I love mixing on porcelain, no beading or pooling!!! Xoxo I have a feeling your channel will have a new unboxing coming soon!! Lol xo
I wish they had replaced oxide orange with another yellow...I don't think the color selection is bad, but that oxide orange is very similar to the burnt sienna so I don't see why they added it.
It looks a bit "cleaner" and vibrant, doesn't it? But I can totally see where you're coming from there.
@@LunaBianca1805 I can see why you say it looks more "clean" and "vibrant", for sure it's smoother. I think the shade is lovely, I personally like it a lot, but since it's a 10 color set and not a "standard" 12 set, having a cool and a warm version of each the primaries seems more important in this case.
@@didi7074 Yeah, can definitely see that, too. A warmer yellow shade probably would have been nicer :)
Agree. A warm yellow and maybe a mixing green like viridian and a sap green or a violet would complete this set as a standard 12 color set.
@@AllanJayQuesada Well, the fewer colors, the bigger the challenge! And you can tell it when you compare this 10 set with a 12 set for example
Thank you sooo much for your reviews !!!
You are very much welcome. :)
I've been collecting odd brands lately in small sets.. but this one just has a really big drying shift to me. I think I will pass. I will glaze on occasion but a lot of my painting is done in a single wet on wet pass so when paints fade excessively it really messes with me. I can never get as nice of a look if I have to go over it a second time. As for the color selection, I own the DS set and the Quin gold pretty much fills the spot of warm yellow, it does gorgeous warm oranges and greens. I would also much rather have brown than green since green is just so easy to mix. If I do have to give up a split primary, a single yellow is what I would choose, vs the red or blue. I would be curious to see what the trans orange would do as a mixer in place of the warm yellow.. the yellow ochre is very odd.. I like it but I've never seen one quite that shade before.
This review made me want the try Isaro! I find Schminke pretty pricey (at least the prices here), I think Isaro is a bit cheaper? I have a personal preference for paints with honey binders so that’s a plus.
Regarding the handcrafted/handcrafted/artisanal description, I believe that as long as the use of machines are limited (or the production is not a “factory type” manuf procedure) then they consider it handmade (ie. wood turners/carvers who use turning and cutting machines but are still traditional/artisanal). Artisans use traditional machines but is very unlike what factories use in mass production. I hope it helped clarify things a bit. 😅
Hi Rouella. Thank you for sharing your understanding. That really makes sense. There is really a difference between a factory-level machinery than a home level set that could be often times or probably still 'manual' type mechanical type. I just wish, they had made it clearer or more visual to avoid confusion.
.
Regarding Isaro vs. Schmincke price, please check and compare well too. Because i believe they still have ongoing sale for Schmincke where 5ml tubes go for as low as 200+ to 300+ PHP each. In that case, Schmincke might still be a better choice. 😉🎨🙏🏻
@@AllanJayQuesada : The tri-cylinder is essential to obtain extra-fine quality. But, I create the recipes (including the binder), I choose the pigments, I grind the color, I put the color in a tube (with a piston machine), I stick the labels, I prepare the orders. I work alone. Sometimes I have art students who help me a little and discover the manufacture of colours ...
It's a physical job but it's above all a passion :-)
@@isabelleroelofs1700 oh hi Isabelle. Thank you for making it clear to us. Hope i could pin your reply so everyone could read it. Now that we know everything is done with personal approach, it makes your paints even more special, really. As a arts- passionate person, i also know how it feels and I can relate. Praying all the best to your paints to come. 🙏🏻🎨❤️
Thank you for another great review. The paints look so transparent, I love the look of the yellow ochre and burnt sienna, your picture looks wonderful. I’m wondering what your views are on using different brands of paints in one picture, is this ok to do? I keep seeing bits I like here and bits I like there in these reviews and now I’m wondering if I got just a few tubes of this paint from here and a few from there I could make a nice pallet. Just a thought I’m having but would like to hear your views on this. Have a nice week, stay safe and Kia Kaha.
Hi Paula. Yes, the colors are more on the transparent side which allows the artist to make transparent and clean washes, so I am really happy.
.
About the mixing of brands to form a palette.. I dont see anything bad about that for as long as you are aware of the pigments and how a certain brand and color behaves. If the the distinct characters of each color match your needs, then the brand should not matter. For example, you are including some QOR paints and you know how speedy it flows, it may affect somehow your ways if this is mixed with a paint that your used to using. I personally usually dont mix my brands, just because im OC? haha. I have many brands and each brand has atleast 12 colors (Isaro and Blockx are my smallest artist grade sets (10 colors). OH my, both from Belgium!) and those sets usually allow me to achieve what i want in a painting. Although, yes, most brands have some really good colors or mixes like Moonglow of Daniel Smith that I cant find in other brands, but for as long as my set has Viridian or pthalo and ultramarine and any red, then i can achieve a color close to Moonglow. :) well, That's just me. hehe. Many artist mix their paints. I just have one request. if your building you mixed set, Please choose only the best pigments : all artist grade & lightfast. :)
Allan, may i ask po if this is comparable to Daniel smith?
Though you like more DS..do you think they can replace the DS interms of performance and price?
Comparable..in totality, No. But Isaro isn't bad narin. Did you watch the part where i mentioned the pricing of Isaro? 7ml is 230-500php. In DS, 15ml is 630-1200 at for 5ml naman DS is;around 380-600.. considering that pricing, halos magkalapit din sila, depending on pigment choice.
Beautiful sample painting as always 🥰 I wonder what you would think about the Pelikan transparent watercolours - the opaque ones are a staple supply for German school kids and the transparent ones are the first actual watercolours I ever used. I'd love to hear your opinions on those, because I really don't know where to put them ^^'
I've only seen them at dickblick store in US, and the palette reminds of the portable painter. I think im gonna get it soon. 🙏🏻🎨
@@AllanJayQuesada Well it is portable, I took mine along for our plein air drawing/ painting classes in university, the water boxes are pretty big which definitely was quite useful. but if I remember that right that portable painter one is pretty small, isn't it ? Well, those Pelikan boxes definitely aren't ^^' Those old standard palettes already were 20×10 cm or something around, so well... BIG is kind of an understatement ;) And those newer boxes are even bigger and bulkier, from what I saw (well, that redesign wasn't for the better I guess ^^' Though it looks kinda nice :)) But then again, not only the box is bigger, the pans are, too. I'd say those are roundabout 2/3 of a gansai pan and those really go a long way :D
Bellissimo dipinto dimostrativo! Questi colori però sembrano davvero difficilmente reperibili sul mercato. In Italia preferisco Maimeri Blu.
oh, puoi acquistarlo da www.jacksonsart.com/
ha sede nel Regno Unito e ho ordinato lì diverse volte. sono davvero un buon negozio. hanno anche Maimeri Blu. Amo Maimeri Blu. ho i loro vecchi e nuovi acquerelli Superior e anche la loro linea fuori produzione, il Venezia. Ho anche gli acquerelli A.Gallo, pitture fatte a mano dall'Italia. sono tutte ottime vernici! :)
I like the drawing of the mountans in this drawing, and my question is if i have maganta and i want to mix it with another colors to get the color red with wish color i must mix the maganta?
Since nobody had answered yet, I guess I'm just going to throw in my small bit of knowledge here :3 The first thing you have to ask yourself is which type of red you want to mix. Do you want a cooler, bluish red like maybe burgundy? Or a warm red, that's more like an orange much like a vermilion? You should be able to get both with the primaries that are included in here. That yellow seems pretty mid-groundy, so if you mix that in you should get a more orange, warm type of red. And that pthaloblue looks almost like a cyan (aka the "blue" they use in printers) with that you might get a more purplish bluish colour. Other than that..m honestly, I'd just try out. That yellow ochre looks like a good candidate for a muted neutral red, the browns are already pretty reddish, so they might be worth a try, too. And with that ultra marine and/ or Payne's grey you'd probably get even more purplish/violet and probably pretty dark hues 🤔
Thank you. Do you mean, you want to get a 'real red' color? I believe that is a mid red. To get that red, you may mix magenta (cool red) with a warm red like scarlet or vermilion. Red lies between warm and cool red in the color wheel, so you'll get mid red if you mix warm and cool of red.
Hi Allan! Loving your videos as always. May I please ask where you bought your mixing palette, and if you can link it that would be amazing. Or just in general, what would be a good mixing palette for a beginner?
Sorry if this is a bothersome question. Right now I'm mixing my pebeo studio watercolors on the lids of takeout kimchi containers 😭😭
Hi Wilson. Thank you. This palette is one of the best purchases ever as a porcelain/ceramic really makes a difference to plastic palettes. Mine is a Jack Richeson Porcelain palette that I got from a Filipino Seller. There are clones of this using ceramics and i think it's fine too. Anyway, here are the links to the porcelain and ceramics.:

Woaaaahhh kahit di ko pa nagagamit yang mga yan... Nakaka-temp talaga haha
bili na sir. maaappreciate mo ito for sure. :)
how to find the discount voucher online. Hoping next time you can compare only the artist grade to make it apple to apple comparison, plus the inclusion of Meimeru and Smincke Horadam would be nice.
It depends where you are shopping. The vouchers are usually collectable from the shops main page .
Berkeley watercolor naman po sunod.. Pleaseeee🙏
Kaya di ako bumibili ng Berkeley watercolors eh dahil nirerepackage lang nila yung MBGi Wap art Ranger.. same tubes na may W na code for watercolor. like ito po :

@@AllanJayQuesada ahhh. Thanks po
Thanks for the review! ☺️ Do you possibly have any plans to review the M Graham watercolors?
You're welcome. And yes, I'm so itching to review my MGraham paints. I currently have 50 tubes. 🎨 I think, I'd be able to review them this December. 🙏
@@AllanJayQuesada Wow! That's amazing! I'm SO looking forward to that! 🙏
Very nice video! Subscribed!
Thank you so much! :)
Can you please review Maimeri blu watercolor?😀
Yes, i would and I'd love to. I have some tubes, pans and the discontinued Venezia line. ☺️
@@AllanJayQuesada thank you☺️
Nice video but please cut out the background music
Noted on this. I've minimized the music in my newer videos. 😊
Sir try nyo po yung mont marte watercolor tubes
Hello. Nung nag tingin po kasi ako niyan sa shopee, may W yung tubes.. sobrang same sa Art Ranger?
Watercolors by Allan Jay Quesada sir nag dm po ako sa inyo, sinend ko po yung picture ng product sa shopee. Salamat po!
You mention that these paints remind you Maimeri Blu and Schmincke paints, but you still haven't made a review on them, I wonder when you will :). Also, have you tried only Schmincke Horadam or also their Akademie line? I personally love both, but the Horadam line is bigger and the colors are more clean and transparent. It's kinda like Van Gogh vs Rembrandt you know?
Hello Didi. Yes, this reminds of Schmincke and Maimeri Blu. Im gonna the review on those brands this year. I was talking about the Horadam set since it's what i have now, but id also like to try our Akademie to compare and see the difference. I have a pans set of Horadam and it was creamy and nice. I ordered some tubes from Jackson months ago. I uploaded the unboxing, i think you'll enjoy watching it too. ☺️🎨
@@AllanJayQuesada Oh, I totally spelled that wrong! I eill correct it 😅 Also, Schmincke is wonderful, watching people squeeze their tubes is so satisfying :). Also, can't wait for the reviews!
