Maimeri Watercolour Dots from @SketchesnScrubs Happy Mail: I've had these a while & was wary of them
Hello Everybody,
These Maimeri watercolour dots have been waiting to be swatches since May. It took me a while to swatch them for a rather silly reason.
Here's Sketches' Kofi art membership: ko-fi.com/sketchesnscrubs. I think Happy Mail is full at the moment, but there are two other tiers with digital rewards. As much as I love the dot cards, the best thing about it is the community.

More Super-Granulation Dupes (with watercolour paints other than Schmincke)
Переглядів 10714 годин тому
Hello Everybody, Here's the next row of my Jackman's super-granulating mixing experiment. They don't all turn out exactly the same, but they're close enough I think. I’ve swatched these in a Khadi cotton rag paperback book: store.evansartsupplies.ie/product/19801/Khadi-Cotton-Rag-Paperback-Book/). The watercolour paints are from Jackman's Art Materials: www.jackmansartmaterials.co.uk/collection...

    Hi Sonya, I do like Maimeri and got a nice set from Ken Bromley. It’s an introductory set with 5 colours and each tube is 12ml and costs £23. I really like it apart from the magenta but I don’t really like any magentas. I’m not encouraging you to spend more money as I know that buying watercolour can get out of hand quite easily but might be good for birthday or Christmas. It has a really nice ultramarine in it.

    I like the fact that - using your own individual pigments - you can have the schmincke as the inspiration/starting point… and then go more r233 or less r233 for example. With the schmincke ready mixed tube you can’t do this. More scope to make more colours.

      I like them. Some of mine shrank down quite a bit and there was some cracking, too. But they all stay in their wells, they rewet easily and they're lovely to paint with. They mix well, too. One of my mixing videos is already up, I've more filmed and yet more planned. My biggest problem with them was that even though it said tax included on the website, I did have to pay VAT when they arrived in Ireland. So they were not as affordable for me as I thought.

    The PR233 pigment, Pinkcolour, comes in a light and dark version. W&N and RS both use the delicate, light pink. The darker pinks are gorgeous, too, and a quality photo will highlight the differences. TFS 😍

    Hi Sonya, thanks for swatching these. I have the Roman Szmal one and wanted to try another brand and your selection is really nice. I like the Jackman’s but it looks like it’s not far away from a caput mortem which I also really like. Dee

    • @sonyaoart
      @sonyaoart Місяць тому

      You're right, the Jackman's is quite close to some of my caput mortuums. Might be another comparison I need to make. The RS version is lovely, I'm looking forward to painting with it more. Glad you found the comparison useful!

    I like the Roman Szmal Potter's Pink a lot. I think I'm the only Artist who hasn't purchased any Roman Szmal paints and whenever I see someone's video regarding them, I want them even more lol. Okay so I do also have Renesans Polska's Potter's Pink and it's👎.... it's horrible imo. But I did treat myself to a 5ml tube of Winsor+Newton's version and it's more Pink leaning. Very lovely, and granulates beautifully!

    Hi Sonya, thanks for the video. Some really nice colours there but every time I think about ordering some I can’t bring myself to do it when I see the price😂. I always end up going back to see if Rosa or Roman Szmal have the same thing and if they do, I go with them. I’d like to see a comparison of your potters pinks when you have time to do it as I prefer a pinker one to the browner ones. I got the Brusho pots that I ordered so tonight’s the night, just hope I don’t make too much of a mess with them. Dee

    The PR233 looks rather brownish. Is this just my screen? The magenta could also be a Quin Viol. (PV19), but again, could just be my screen. Have you ever tried PB74 from Schminke? I love it. 😊

      I've just posted a photo of the swatches in the community tab, that should give you a better idea what the colours look like. But the Potter's Pink is a bit on the brown side. I do have Schmincke's PB74 actually, but it's in a palette I don't have on my desk so I don't use it often. I really need to change that. Thanks for the reminder!
