    You know what those brushes are really good for? Layering gouache. Just the right spring/softness, at least for my hand to not disturb the layer below. I bought a three pack of brushes that look the same at our local discounter Action here in the Netherlands and have been pleasantly surprised. Thank you for this review and your relaxing voice. Plus you made me laugh yesterday and I really needed it. 🙂.

    Thank you Pete! Glad to hear you recommend this set. As a beginner I’ve gotten a few different types of watercolors, but this is a big set and creamy. I might now give this a try or stick to the ones in my cart Holbein or shinhan PWC. Haven’t decided. 😂 so many choices

    • @IllustrationsByPete
      @IllustrationsByPete День тому

      Holbein are beautiful paints as well. I have not tried Shinhan but I've heard they are similar to Holbein. This set is so much more affordable than those and you get everything you need, but they aren't the same thing. Holbein has a special glow to them. I wouldn't hesitate to sell a piece made with Holbein either, while these are more sketchbook paints but they do act the same so you can practice all your techniques with them. Either way you go is a win. 👍🏻

      @@tamilayman3836 I hope you enjoy them. They do have a special place in my heart. Keep in mind that they can be more opaque than some other watercolors so you need to be careful when mixing and always test your mixes in a separate piece of paper before you put in on your piece. Just until you get to know them, then you'll be fine. I'm glad I can help where I can. Have a great day! 🙂

      I didn't use them either until I saw Peter Sheeler use them and once I tried them I was hooked. My favorite is the angled flat now. In this set the flat just dumped the water into a puddle as soon as it touched the page and then I just had to move it around. It wasn't fun. See, "arting" works. 🙂

      I even consider my custom-made diamond paintings to be art because they're from my own photographs or artwork. And it is beautiful images that you hang on your wall even if you buy the ones from companies that manufacture them. I think that art has very little limits. Music and poetry are art. There is so much involved in the term art that makes it such a wonderfully inclusive term.

    I really need to try out the Meeden watercolor paper. I’ve avoided it because I always considered that it was student grade paper. After your comments about it, I’m intrigued. From what I understand, Baohong is making Meeden’s paper for them. I actually use the artist grade Baohong cold press paper and I love the stuff. I like it better than Arches. For me I can’t see any real difference between them. I haven’t tried Baohong academy grade paper. Though I’ve heard there isn’t much difference between the artist grade and academy grade. But according to the rumor mill. Baohong academy is what Meeden uses. It would be interesting if this was true. Anyway…… I think I need to get some Meeden watercolor paper. Since you’re super tight buddies with Meeden, maybe you could find out who makes their paper for them? 🙂 Or not. Choose your adventure. 😂

    • @IllustrationsByPete
      @IllustrationsByPete День тому

      I can ask them but I'm sure they are proud of their name and don't want to divulge that information. 🙂 It seems like every time a company gets their paper made by another company someone calls it Baohong. I've heard that for Etchr and a couple others. But their paper is very different to this. Either way, I don't care if they want to call it student grade or academy or anything else, this paper is awesome. I've thrown everything I can at it and it always performs wonderfully. I did a proper review of all 3 surfaces on another video and it has become my go to. Kind of like what you said, I reach for it over my Arches. And you can't beat the value for the money. I highly recommend it. 👍🏻

    • @FriedPi-mc5yt

      I mostly use Arches and MEEDEN/Baohong paper because they are the two best I have found. I recently decided to be brave and try very large watercolor paintings, so I bought a huge block from MEEDEN. After being disappointed by so many paper brands I tried, it's a relief to find one I love that is a reasonable price. I also love their masking tape for having the perfect amount of sticky, and my little rose shaped porcelain palette.

    I really enjoyed the first piece, but I LOVE the second piece. I must admit to having problems when it comes to abstract art. Many pieces of abstract art appeal to me, whether for the colors used, the flow of the painting, or some remind me of an object or situation, but I have never 'understood' abstract art. Like, I don't normally get a sense of what the artist was thinking or feeling while making the piece, so I feel that I fall short as an observer of their art. Are we meant to understand? Or simply to admire? (please don't think of me as a barbarian or an idiot, I really would like to hear from an abstract artist what they would like from their audience)

    • @IllustrationsByPete
      @IllustrationsByPete 5 днів тому

      That's a great question. First, don't let a piece of art make you feel inadequate. Many artists are too dramatic and try to explain a novel when telling you what their art means. For me, abstract art is a challenge. If you like birds and someone paints a halfway decent bird you'll like the art. But if you create nothing and make it interesting to look at then you've done something well. Personally if the piece isn't interesting to look at then I don't care about the story or emotions behind it. Make nothing look interesting enough to make me want to stare at it. That's how I judge abstract art. 👍🏻

    Thank you for your honest review of Meeden watercolor. Yes please enter me in the giveaway. While they don’t move much, these watercolors seem curious enough to give a go as a beginner. The paper has had a lot of good reviews. 😂 Cow tipping - that’s a joke used here in OH too! 😂 Ever been snipe hunting? Thanks again for your generosity, take care!

    Yes please enter me in the giveaway! I'm Canadian, glad this one is open to us. I do like Meeden products. I thought the paints were pretty good, but I'm a rank beginner at watercolour 😅

    Sad to hear the brushes suck. I have plenty of paint for now, but always love reviews when looking for recommendations for my students. Thanks so much for reviewing this new set!

    Thank you for the Art Pigment link, very helpful. That Cerulean Blue definitely looks like a Cobalt Teal. Mine is much bluer than yours is. It's amazing how the colours change from brand to brand. Still wading through that. I totally agree with you on the pure pigment idea. I have some Kusakabe paints from Japan which are all mixes of pigments and some of them are the colours I use the most. Such beautiful combinations. I love Meeden's paper too. Looks like someone did some acid in the farmhouse, lol

      That could be. 😂 That pigment link is an amazing resource. I've used it for a long time. Glad you enjoyed this. 🙂

    I’m so glad you reviewed this as I just insomnia purchase the 149 piece set to try oils for the first time and it comes with these watercolor paints too. They look like they’ll be great for a sketchbook and not worrying about being too precious with them.

      That is the perfect way to look at these. They are great for what they are. I hope those oils work out for you too. 👍🏻
