Lovely haul! Can’t wait to see what you create with it!

Great information on some beautiful colors, thanks!

I still can’t see the beauty in yellow ochre. I’ll wait for the gold ochres, though 😊.

Quinacridone purple (PV55) is probably my favourite Daniel Smith paint. It's like an even more blue quin violet. Really intense and beautiful. I love mixing it with carbazole violet to get just about any violet hue with high chroma and no granulation. Really handy for botanicals.

Hi Sonya, I like the Rosa and DS best. Dee

Saturdays with Sonya! I myself am swatching out ALL my colors in roygbiv order and then in numerical order.. like PR2, PR4, PR12 and so on!

I love my Rosa palette. Great value for money.

Hi Sonya, I get confused when trying to arrange my paints too. I tend to do cool yellows followed by warm yellows including yellow ochre. Pinks followed by cool reds and then warm reds. Cool blues flowed by warmer blues and the turquoise colors leading into cool greens followed by warmer greens. Earth colours next cool to warm and I finish off with greys to blacks. Purples are difficult to place, sometimes I think they should follow the blues and other times I think the purples should follow the reds. Decisions Decisions. Dee

Hi 👋!

I love BOTH Quin Red and Quin Magenta, and use both on the same palette. Daniel Smith is my fave Quin Red and Winsor and Newton my fave Quin Magenta, but I also love the Roman Szmal versions. Sounds like you might need both colours too? ...and there's that space to fill...hehe :D Thanks for the video!

fun! Love the colors you chose. I like either the Magenta or Quin Lilac. Pretty fun to watch you arrange the colors as I relate to figuring out preferences (I put my Goethite after my yellow ochre in my palette). Have you tried Cobalt Sea Blue? Let me know if you want me to show you how I fit 40 pans in that a 28 full pan tin taking out the metal rails and some magnets/museum putty. Ha #asha #moreblues

Looking forward to Daniel Smith video.

Not to be a Sienna enabler or anything and Idk how available/afforable it is where you are but M.Graham has a Burnt Sienna that's very nice and has a fairly unique combination of traits and wide value range. I've also been really surprised how much more I like some of the mixes from Transparent Red Oxide than Burnt Sienna, given that BS has always been a favorite. I think it was a Dr. Oto Kano swatch video that sold me on it, from the M. Graham playlist. Thank you for sharing these. 😊

Hi Sonya, I too like the Rosa one and yes I’d like to see your big palette. Dee

I do not like W+Newton's Burnt Sienna. It's very hard to re-wet, for me at least. I have a 1/2 pan of it collecting dust lol. I LOVE Rosa Gallery's PR101, they also have a beautiful Caput Mortuum PR 101 too... it's like velvet lol. My current favorite Burnt Sienna is Van Gogh's PR101 and Rosa's!

I'm sorry everybody, the photo will be delayed until tomorrow. I was out while the light was good enough for a decent picture. Wish me luck for tomorrow!

Hi Sonya yes I’d like to see the palette as it is and then after your changes. Dee

That Chromium Green Oxide Dark PG17 is calling my name. Love the PB74 too. I also have a major weakness for earth tones, have too many in my cart already and can't make up my mind. 😅 Thank you for sharing!

Feels like a rather botanical selection. Did you swatch it on cellulose paper?

The first three colors you swatched would be perfect for a limited palette 😅 love the colors you picked 😊

I have a collection of 50 different watercolor pans from Rosa Gallery .They are super pigmented and so easy to rewet . I also love their synthetic Stream watercolor brushes . They keep their point and are exceptional quality and affordable .

Hi Sonya, that’s a great little palette. Dee

Thank you for telling people about our Ukrainian watercolors! There are so many youtubers promoting white nights now - and don't give two shits about our lives) I send many hugs your way and hope these paints won't disappoint you! May this year bekind to you and full of inspiration!

I also love the way Rosa wraps and labels their pans. Lovely affordable brand.

Thank you for a nice and cozy video=) Have a wonderful day=3

Thank you for doing these swatches. The cobalt teak I like the best is M. Graham' which is made in the USA.

'inevitably, there's already a cat hair in it' - the story of my life 😅

Hi Sonya, Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎉 I absolutely love your videos and swatches-they're incredibly helpful and informative. I wanted to ask about the differences between Phthalo Blue (Green Shade) and Phthalo Blue (Red Shade), specifically in terms of pigments, mixes, and applications. It would be fantastic to see swatches of both! Thank you! 😊

This is a beautiful pallette, thank you for showing us, Happy new year dear❤

If you like autumn colours then the DS quinacridone burnt scarlet is a must. Youll need to grab it whilst its available as its another discontinued pigment, PR206.

The daniel smith sticks are great value! Happy painting with your new palette!

Hi Sonya, Happy New Year to you and your family. The swatches are very nice but I particularly like the scarlet. I only have a few Daniel Smith paints but I would definitely recommend the cascade green, it’s really lovely. Dee

Sonya! I too have a stupid😅😅😅 amount of PB29's and PB28's! Indian Yellow became my favorite Yellow in 2024, along with PR255 and PR242 for my favorite Reds!

Great presents you‘ve got - have fun with them! I would love to see the Schmincke Supergranulation colours swatched! 🎨❤️

Hi Sonya, I missed this one for some reason. You’re right about Rosa paints, the quality for the price is great and I love them. Dee

I have been shopping for the perfect Ultramarine and I'm hoping you can tell me about your experience. I've been looking at swatches for so long but still can't tell how well each granulates. I have the dot card for Schmincke's Super Granulators but that is my only experience so far with Schmincke. I really love the granulation in many of the colors containing Ultramarine. I love these convenience mixes but would rather have the flexibility of mixing my own colors, as I'm still building my first collection of watercolors. I'm assuming the one they use is French Ultramarine, I have been told it's their most granulating version. You said that the Roman Szmal would not replace it for you, I would love to know why and what your opinion is of their granulation. The RS French Ultramarine was my 2nd choice. I see online that Old Holland is the most granulating form available but I have seen too many awful swatches from that company for me to risk it (very expensive brand here in US). Would greatly appreciate your feedback. Thanks so much for your time and your content. 😊

Lovely art supplies! The rosa gallery palette looks handy!!! Enjoy the new art supplies🖌

Looks like a great selection! Can't wait for the swatches. Happy Christmas 😊

Merry Christmas Sonya, you got lots of lovely stuff. I didn’t get any paint this year but I’m waiting for a new desk to arrive and hope that it will get me in the mood to start painting again. I’m looking forward to the Daniel Smith swatches, can’t wait see them. Dee

Merry Christmas Sonya! Lovely video, all those supplies look like so much fun,and I’m so jealous of your pyroll red Rosa pan, my local art websites still have just the tubes so I have to wait in order to try the new ten that came out this year haha, hope you have fun with your new supplies and I’m exited to see the DS palette all swatched out ❤️

Merry Christmas. Love their Cobalt Green Medium for its granulation!

Merry Christmas my dear Sonya. I wish you a wonderful Christmas and the best New Year for you and your loved ones. I'll be catching up with your 24 days of granulating mixtures this morning over coffee!

You made it! 24 days🎉

👋

Hi Sonya, thanks for your swatches this month, I’ve enjoyed seeing the outcomes. I wish you and yours a lovely peaceful Christmas and I hope Santa brings you some nice art stuff. Dee

Hi Sonya, you’re of too far off with the last 2 swatches, I like them. Dee

Hi Sonya, that’s quite an interesting colour. I haven’t been doing much painting since I moved into my own house in the summer, just can’t concentrate for any length of time. After Christmas is over I intend to get stuck in again. Dee

Wow. Lucky lady 😳

Hi Sonya, that’s nice but I’m loving the green from yesterday. Dee

Hi Sonya Would you prefer Rosa to newton windsor?
