- Did I like these watercolors? Not really. Find out why in my snobby art review.
I love to try new supplies, and rarely do I ever give a bad art supply review. But these? Probably some of the worst I've ever tried.

Being disappointed by art supplies? For a second I thought this was a Kasey Golden video.
(This is why I don't buy gimmicky art supplies, they always sacrifice quality for tricks. :( )
Haha
Says person who bought tiny watercolor marked, because they were cute 😂 I love you Kasey
Iv tried these but I got a different set up same company.. I’m just a beginner but I can’t afford many art supplies and my mom let me buy a more expensive art supply and I chose this because I’m always walking in the woods painting. 😰 I feel like I don’t know what good supplies are now..
@@breannaclark4070 This is going to be a long comment, warning in advance😅.
I used to feel the same way. I bought an art supply, then I saw a video reviewing it and/or comparing, and I noticed the quality wasn't as good as I thought 😕 It's definitely a bit frustrating especially as a beginner artist, especially when you don't do enough research before hand but after😅 With watercolors you always want them to be transperant, vibrant, a smooth and water like consistency, and to layer well! I suggest vibrant watercolor, because even if you prefer more earthy tones, you can always mix those colors, you can never make paints more vibrant😉 Always swatch each color, In case there's a difference in consistency (like for Mira with that black, I was shocked at the consistency of it 14:41). I would also suggest doing other tests like wet on wet, layering, diluting with a lot water, mixing with other colors, and gradients. Depending on wether you get pan, tub or ink paints, your results will definitely vary. Like pans are almost always less vibrant than tube paints, while inks are usu the most vibrant. I think inks also dry faster than the others which can be frustrating if you like to blend, use wet in wet technique, or if just you work slow🤷. For beginners I suggest tubes or pans. I personally love tubes, but if you don't have a lot of space for them, or you prefer a smaller and compact pallet then get pans. I would suggest the Van Gogh sets, there very vibrant, awesome quality for the price (perhaps better), and they work beautifully💜 Definitely do your own research of course, watch videos on the different types of watercolor, on brands, reviews on Amazon and UA-cam. And when you narrow down your list, look at swatches of them, and compare (like pause on the video in different tabs for example). Good luck on your art journey🙏💜
Those markers that didn't work..
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH!!!! Also I was shocked when you started swatching these how transparent they were. $25??????
Right!! I should have left this at that art supply warehouse 😂
@@MiraByler you should do a Collab again I beg you
Jewel Angel They did
Except you can find them online for like $10?
Jen DuBay bruh php300(roughly $6) in my country
Haha girl looks like you got one of the knockoffs. On Amazon they are like 15 bucks there are 3 sets which include sponges and a larger palette below the bottom fan. The aqua brushes are "it is what it is" . I did a light fast test when they first came out and woo boy good stuff. Zero fade. They are more like Gansi tambi in that they behave less like western layerable colors and more like eastern style. You seem to prefer pastels and probably should get the pastel set.
Yea lol I was confused at how terrible and different it was compared
the ones i got from wish are great i don't know where she got hers because they definitely look like a knockoff
What are they called on amazon?
Yeah. $12 at walmart and they are fine. Not Sennelier but totally usable. The walmart "flip kit" is a good option for beginners and for people who want to pack light. Don't listen to this person.
Mine were cheap on Amazon, and I like them. It's by a different company, though but same principle. My only beef is waiting for the pans dry before putting them away.
Same. Agree with all of this.
RAGE COMMENT. Not really lol this is such a cute idea, I know she doesn't like the paint but she worked it even so. I don't think I could travel with it either. I'd probably snap em all apart and store them at home. 💚
RAGE REPLY. Ahaha, I'm so glad it wasn't a real rage comment. I was so nervous about posting this, that I almost didn't. Oh.. that's a good idea to disassemble the palette. You're a genius!
@@MiraByler lol it's not normal getting rage comments on a channel with this positive vibe. Ooh a genius 😃. I don't get called that a lot. But I'm going to brag about Mira telling me this _all_ the time 😆💙
😂😂😂
Lol
Salted caramel is the best ice cream.
I have these, they are indeed awkward & hard to work with. Frugalcrafter have high reviews of this watercolor, I only got it for $15. Solution: I removed the palettes by removing the screw, then I attached the palettes in a black clipboard horizontally per row in order with a glue gun. Also, I suggest spraying water first to reactivate it. Hope it helps! =)
Can you remove the paints and squeeze in your own from tubes?
Bingo good idea . Hope I am able to remove the screw.
That's a GREAT idea! Thanks!
Maybe if they removed the brush holder and allowed the pallets to swing out a little thurther it would be easier to use.
I love your vids so much! You inspire me every day and I cant wait to see what you come up with next!
I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with these. I have a set from a company called Superior (It has japanese lettering under where it says "Water Colour" and I absolutely love them. The brush is a little pointier, but does look very similar. The numbering of the colors is also the same. I'd like to see you get one of these from another brand (I got mine on instagram) and compare the quality.
pretty sure it’s chinese, as superior(秀普） is a chinese brand. another chinese brand marie’s(马利）also has watercolour sets in this fanning out form
@@tarostartic8833 Checked the writing and that's definitely a match! The first two symbols are definitely chinese for Superior. Don't know what the rest says though! Probably just "Water Colour Paint" or something.
I have the superior 42 as well and it works differently from Mira's, I love it.. so I bought the 18 pastel set and it's pretty crappy
Great review as always! One of my most trusted youtubers for reviews. Thank you 🙏
I feel like a watercolor palette in the style of a fishing tackle box tray (A hip roof tackle box?) would've been more portable and less messy. Thanks for letting us know the pros and cons
Totally agree with you! :D
OMG that drawing is so cute!! I think you really did great despite the bad supplies.
I must say this video is the most negative I have ever seen you do! I received these paints as a stocking stuffer, you need to let the paint dry before you close them up! I place them at The same level as your permatek candy colors or tropical colors paints. Student or hobby level paint. It is a little gimmicky but what is it that people have to fit everything in a pocket? I find your use of Arteza products understandable as they are very inexpensive and easily available, but not always the highest quality, if you cannot get pigment numbers or lightfastness ratings, that usually means student or hobby grade products. I do not understand why people get so upset about how often they see advertisements for Arteza products, companies use methods that work and everybody has heard of them and they make lots of sales from their advertisements. I just wish they were not so middle of the road and had more professional information about their products. Thanks again Miranda, a good video even if it wasn’t a superior product.
I am really fond of the small travel palettes and I collect them but I rarely bring them outside 🥺. I don't know why I like them I just do. 🤷
Oh boy I’m so excited to watch thissss
:D
I loved them, great colours and so vibrant!!!
YAAAY You used the Bee paper! I don't know if my suggestion influenced you, but I'm just going to tell myself that it did lol.
I'm reogranizing my art room right now, and found it buried under some sketchbooks. Haven't used it since... er... maybe since my old apartment. O_O haha!! We can say you influenced me too though, hehe.
Toffee fudge ice-cream!! 😍😍😍
These look like such frustrating paints! Love what you made with them though ❤️
The Handel's reference made me way too happy. So good.
Paints may have sucked, but you made it fun.
My favorite ice cream is chocolate with peanut butter swirl. Nom nom nom.
I love the colors in the pallette but the fan system is flawed for sure.
I love my set of these, I don't have any of the issues here though. The browns! I was just telling someone how much I love the browns, that yellowy one especially can make a beautiful gold
I think it's just a case of what works for you and how you're used to working. Still think the art is fun
Totally agree with you. I popped the nail out right off so I could separate the flats. Color was great, but the functionality was not.
I just came home from art class and I used those for a watercolors in class
I have had an imported style of watercolours like them. They were my favourite for years! The brand I had was a Japanese brand and they’re amazing. It sucks that you got ones that aren’t that good.
My fave ice cream: Patchwork by Hood.
I am not a fan of those watercolors as well. Great job!
My favourite flavour of ice cream is bubble gum ! ( the blue ice cream with pink chunks that melt in your mouth )
I love your videos 💜 thank you for creating:)
Thanks Kylie! 💜
How do you feel the brush with water
I got one from Walmart and it’s so amazing and I luv it and use it almost daily
Butterscotch!! I am craving for it!!
Nice vid!
Fav ice? torn between lemon end chocolate...
my favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip, specifically from Carvel!
I have lots of fun with my fan pan of paints. The paint is good and the design is pretty cool.
I travel art journal and these are my go to paints. In a pencil case with my travel brushes and watercolour journal. It’s not professional quality but super convienient. .
I got this from Amazon for $14. And I really love it. The colors are vibrant. Anytime I use these colors for a painting, people ask me which brand I used because they love how vibrant & lovely the colors looked. When I tell them it is a no-name brand that I first got for $10 (my first of this kind of set), they suddenly decide it won't be good. And yet...without fail, each time I use these I get the max number of questions about the colors :-). But yeah, closing it when it is wet is a no-no. So I just fan it out and let it dry before closing. Brushes - I use my regular brushes.
lemon sorbet
I like your art and your channel a lot!
I found a smaller sample in Walmart. And the colors a good, blend well and good pigmentation I would say a good deal for $10
My absolute all time favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio. Even though the paint set was kinda wonky you still made it work and made an awesome at project out of it. Thanks for the video.
Yum!!
I love chocolate chip mint together :)
Just laughing since I got a 12.00 set off of eBay (different branded name but probably similar) and reviewed them on my channel last month (tiny tiny channel, stop by!) and even used Bee paper! Lol. I didn’t hate them but would definitely bring them along to an urban sketch event.
Mine had more “directions” with the notes of them sticking, just pull harder, lol.
The color numbers are Pantone numbers. I googled the first few and was really surprised how well they color matched!
I enjoyed the video! Your painting is adorable. I wonder how long I’d survive on an ice cream island.
Favorite ice cream flavor is Cherry! But I like to mix it with other things like French vanilla or cake batter. :)
where did you get those pretty mermaid-metallic brushes *.* .. distracted by shiny things xD
I saw the video thumbnail and was about to clutch my pearls, but then I saw this is a different brand than what I have! My set is from a company called Misulove and I love them for the bright colors and portability. They can be awkward to use so I tend to only use them for when I go journaling on the beach or at a cafe, or if I'm too lazy to get my paint tubes out. (Though if portability is the goal, you can also get little pocket palettes that are about the size of Altoid tins that you can squeeze tubed paint into. Then you can paint on the go without having to unfold a whole damn YuGiOh Duel Disk!)
Since I was a kid my favorite flavor of ice cream has always been chocolate chip. As an adult I have discovered new flavors and my new favorite is now mudslide by Tillamook.
You can get a similar model from AliExpress for 8 to 17 usd depends on the quantity of colors(brand Superior). I got my first watercolor from them, since I'm just starting. The brand is different... it is Giorgine, and I really enjoy it, except like 2 or 3 colors. It cost 15 to 24 usd for 18 to 48 colors.
I was wondering, what do u do with the art supplies that u don't like? do u throw them, keep them but never use them again...?
I don't have a specific ice cream fav flavor! I love them all 😊, but what I eat most is chocolate 🍫, lemonade🍋 and melon🍈 😃
I usually give them to family and friends, or donate them to kids who need art supplies. I’ll probably do that with this palette. I don’t see myself using it again. Hopefully somebody else can enjoy it. ☺️💕
Mira Byler that's very noble of you, I wish all people think and act like you! 😊🌺
I love salted caramel sooooo much🍦
I'm a big kid, so my favourite ice cream flavour is bubble gum! ;P
An idea: scrape out the existing colors and replace them with some good tube colors. Makes use out of the nice travel deck concept.
Pralines and cream. But it has to be from Baskin Robins only. But I prefer gelato. Salted caramel gelato from Talens. 😋
Is that a pilot color eno?
Thank you for testing them, I almost bought them for traveling but I thought they were going to smear everywhere once you close them 😄. At the art supply store I went to they were not labeled with a brand at all by the way 🤨.
That's really interesting there was no brand labeled on the ones you saw. Whoa! I have been seeing more and more of these popping up online with different brand labels. It makes me feel a bit skeptical since they're suddenly popping up everywhere. O_O
YOU DARE TALK ABOUT ᗰY FAVORITE WATERCOLORS! OK just kidding. I totally agree with what your saying even though I don’t have them. 😂. I love your channel so much and you inspire me!
I have this one, but a bit smaller with less colours and it is okay. My expectations were different though. I bought it online and I thought it would be chalky watercolours. I was very surprised that they weren't. And I also payed only like €5 for them. But I would not use them in public 😂 just as you said. They are kinda awkward. I am too awkward to even paint in public but if I were to paint in public I would bring just a normal small tin with me (like the prima watercolours).
I have same set .. I loved it
Tbh the first thing I would do with that palette is find a way to remove the pans and put them in a new palette. I'm way too impatient to wait for the pans to dry before I put them away. >
My favourite flavour of ice-cream is the Macintosh Toffee, Or Carob Dream.
Your painting is fun and good.
I’m sorry to hear you were so disappointed in the paint set.
Rocky Road Ice cream. Great video on this gimmicky product. Keep up the great content.
I have those same ones that I got on amazon for $15.
I would use them every night in my summer night class and when it was over I had a hand-painted card for my instructor.....
But I ended up switching to my trusty arteza water brushes and my minipalette from Regina’s Watercolor.
Anybody know where I can get that green mechanical pencil
"Is there an age restriction? Cause I might be restricted."
I'm 35 and so often think this 😂
hilarious reviewthanks !!
I am so glad I didn’t buy this when I saw it the last time in my local art store.
American consumers are some of the most challenging in the world to please. Better luck with
your next purchase!! Amazon has this set which comes with 3 brushes (2 round tip and 1 flat tip) for
$14.99 - Misulove Watercolor Paint Set with 42 colors. Artsy Watercolor Set - 42 colors with three
brushes (2 round tip and 1 flat tip) for $16.96. Both Misulove & Artsy are the fan type sets.. Check
out the reviews on Amazon for both of these products.
oh weird! it's weird how people are super different I have the same ones and I love them!
I should be doing homework, but who cares about that when Mira posts a video
💜💜💜
Thank u for replying :)
My favorite flavor is cake batter too! But only vanilla with extra sprinkles
Yes!!!! Sprinkles!!!! 😀
That's the same set I got, and I ordered mine from WISH. They were okay, but I also don't know much about water color.
Cookies and cream ice cream!
You can get something pretty similar at Walmart by Royal Langnickle Essentials for $10. It has 18 colors and the brush. I actually really like it. I just don't like the brush.
I bought this watercolor its turn out so goodddd....i mean its really vibrant u know u dont need expensive watercolor to make good art... seriously this watercolor is very good for beginner u will get used to the flippy thing when you use it many times....👍👍
Oh how disappointing 🥴 they remind of kids watercolor paints , not the best looking high quality for the price but you did a fabulous job with them 😊
I’ve always been wanting to try those kind of paints too!! I keep thinking they look so cool in their travel case but never had the time, now I’m sooo pleased I’ve not had the time 😂😂
I’ve visited that ice cream 🍦 island in the ocean only last year 😊 it was very cool
Hmmmmm I’m not actually keen on ice cream but if I do eat it, it’s going to be chocolate with chocolate chips or mint chocolate chip 😍
My favorite ice cream flavor is Breyer’s 100% Natural Vanilla Bean ! I’m not feeling those watercolors either. I just wouldn’t have purchased them because of the way they were set up (I know that’s why you did buy it.) Either way love your videos.
Tomorrow is my birthday 😊 I just bought a ton of watercolor!
Happy birthday! I hope it’s wonderful! 😀🎉🎂🎈
Mira Byler thanks! I was FaceTimeing when u replied and I said OMG my favorite youtuber said happy birthday:D
I love me some mint ice cream, however espresso and black cherry are very close seconds.
I am really sad...I bought this the other day and was really excited. I made a piece.then I saw this video😔
Although this was from 5 months ago... Don’t worry about whether or not she likes it! If you like them, that’s great! You don’t have to like the same art supplies, everyone’s preferences are different! ☺️💖
Brownie dough or cotton candy ice cream for me!
I love my fan palette and the brush mine came with. It is still my favorite water brush. The brand I bought was Meeden. The colors are great. You do have to let the fan dry just a few minutes so it doesn't get anywhere, it's the same with any palette that isn't leak proof before you put it away. I didn't experience some of the problems you were bothered by but it's a palette made for fun on the go, a novelty, travel palette. I take it with me to the hospital when I have to stay overnight. I also use it for when sitting in my recliner or painting a silly doodle. I know not to expect professional results but IT'S FUN
I hope your viewers can appreciate it. I bought mine on Amazon for about half the price you paid.
P.S. mocha almond fudge is my favorite ice cream.
Samee
I have this exact set and I don’t like them either 😫 I think it might be partially because I recently switched over to Daniel Smith watercolors and when I got a taste for quality I just couldn’t look back. Whenever I try to use these ones again I can’t finish the picture, they’re so chalky and full of filler it makes me sad because the concept of them is pretty awesome.
That is a good reason!
Thanks for this video! I’ve been wanting to try a palette like this!
Even if it’s not the greatest, it’s still pretty cool. I found it for less then $20 recently, so been thinking of getting one. Edit: ehhhh maybe not.
Favorite ice cream : lime sherbet. I’m Kinda neutral on ice cream. But give me some citrusy sherbet and I’m in heaven
I think this was just a lil um dramatic
MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP!!!!!! Oh my word the BEST!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Chocolate, cookie dough and anything fresh-fruity ike lemon or water melon 😍😍😍
Recently went to Ireland and in Dublin I tried the 'Irish Brown Bread' Flavour by Murphy's and it went straight to no. 1 of favourite ice cream flavours! Too bad they don't have Murphy's in my country :(
Wow, that sounds so delicious!!
@@MiraByler My first reaction when hearing about it was...What??!! But they immediately offered a sample (plus of some of the other flavours they had) and I was sold straight away. When I tell my friends about the flavour everyone looks sceptical hahahah. So you saying that it sounds delicious is surprising to me (but a happy surprise!). Guess you're more adventurous in your ice cream flavours than my friends are (or I initially was :P)
My favorite ice cream is Half Baked Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. I'm sad this wasn't a good experience for you, but watching you flick it out like a fan made me laugh.
My favorite flavor of ice cream is cotton candy!!!! Yum
🤤🤤🤤 That sounds delicious right now!
I have these but from a japenese brand and I love them SOOOOOOOO MUCH. Except for the water brush.
I only paid $13 for my set last year... but I was disappointed too. Cool idea, doesn't work well.
Fab flavor is neopitan blended with Oreos then poured back in the tub refrozen and eaten!!
Favorite ice cream flavor in general: Oreo
Favorite custom flavor: Cold Stone Creamery dark chocolate & Oreo with M&Ms, graham cracker crust, caramel, and Reese’s cups.
Ice cream is just an excuse for eating copious amounts of cookies and candy.
Coffee chocolate chip ice cream is the best!
I got the cheaper ones and ....i really love them :) i think they are great for at home and simple Pieces . ^^
There's a little clip looking bit up on the side where the brush sits. Push it in and it helps to secure the brush a bit more.
I bought these for a few bucks from that website that's really bad to buy things from (cheap stuff from another country-You know what I'm saying). For what I myself paid, they aren't that bad. I put them in my travel art case. I find I have to layer them a lot to get the richer pigment. I would not buy them again.
True story: When I opened them up and fanned them out, I thought the last paint was gone. It's black. It has the streaks on it, and it seems to be flatter (thinner) than the other pans so I thought it was just the plastic pan with no paint. Turns out, it was there. But I had to actually wet it to tell that it was!
Oh, and my favorite ice cream is chocolate with salted caramel topping. Mmmm.
Hahaha, that’s a good story! It’s a good thing you didn’t use it to mix other colors and find out that way. 😂 Also, you have great taste in ice cream. :)
Right? 😂 Thanks but now I want some!
Chocolate ice cream is my most fave.
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH! The Ben and Jerry's brand it me favourite! I also love their Half Baked! There is a new half baked, but with peanut butter that I REALLY want to try, but I contracted a peanut allergy from someone back when I was in the hospital with TTP, through my centrifuge blood transfusions. It should be out of my system, but l can't have peanuts until I get the all clear from my allergy doctor.
That last ice cream flavour I mentioned head something to do with Jimmy Fallon.
I also love Dairy Queen's chocolate chip cookie dough blizzards.
Other favourite flavours (in general):
- salted caramel
- burnt marshmallow
- birthday cake/cake batter
- French Mint
- good medal ribbin
WOW. You are an ice cream guru!! You know your flavors. Yum. :D
I’d probably get a rubber band or something to keep the water brush in the palette, but if it’s messy when you close it, you’re right that it wouldn’t be very portable. A cool concept, but poorly executed.
I like this watercolors I opinion I have these exact watercolors and they are the best after another one
0:17
Me every day😂
My favorite flavor of Ice Cream is CRAZY COOKIE DOUGH!!!!!!
fav ice cream is cookie dough :) dammit now I want ice cream at 2 in the morning lol
I’m here to tempt you with a late night snack. :)
