Swatching my Sennelier watercolor palette: 42 colors picked one by one!

- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
I love my Sennelier watercolors, but I rarely use them as long as they are in tubes; I have therefore set up a palette including all my Sennelier watercolors (including Jackson's paint, that are probably made by Sennelier).
I am also trying to paint a small spontaneous landscape to test out this colour!
As usual, I would love to hear from you! Comment please!

Why is it so enjoyable watching paints being poured and swatched? I think I’m addicted to watercolours! I agree, I tend to keep my tubes for when I need them, and because I have a lot of pan sets and don’t usually work large paintings that’s almost never. So I think this is a great idea. I did send a friend some hand poured sennelier, to get her into watercolours, and she adores them, though she says the flies like coming to suck in the honey! 😂 I just got the botanical set of Billy Showell’s choices, I think I should make up a set like you have done! I love listening to your voice ❤
Thank you! The Billy Showell set looks lovely, I didn’t know it. I’m gradually pouring in pans all my watercolours….. it’s so satisfying!
Of all brands, I think Sennelier has the best ratio between quality and price here in Spain. I love almost every color, except sap green. Earthy tones are not the best, but the rest are lovely. Thank you for your video.
Yes, Sap Green is not my favourite as well. Thank to you!!
Sennelier is one of my favs, I think they have the most vibrant colours, my best Indanthrene Blue and Prussian Blue... During the painting, how beautiful flows. They move like dancing :) They are lovely artist watercolours. Thanks for showing us your beautiful Sennelier palette.
I agree Estivaliz….it’s a superior painting experience ❤️
I love sennelier too. I love so many of their colors- I love how they rewet. Caput Mortuum was runny but I love it anyways. I also think they’re really affordable (in the US)- the 21ml tubes are great. I like other brands for my browns and granulating colors. Even though I think I have or have had all of the paints you swatched I watched all of the video❤
Hello!! I’m so happy you like Sennelier. I find it totally underrated! It’s a beautiful brand with a lot of personality. ❤️. Thank you for your comment!
Ciao Elisabeth’s! I could listen to you all day!
Wow!! I know that Italian accent can make life easier 😀. Thank you!!! 🫶
Lovely! I like their PO73, I think it's Sennelier Orange. Beautiful for glazing! I love the Chinese Orange too, one of my favorite color mixes. It's like a super vibrant Burnt Sienna. ❤
I have never tried Sennelier orange! Thank you Vati. I will check it out!!
Oooo....hi Elisabetta! I am going to save this for my morning tea! Goodnight, sleep well. xo
Just waken up….its breakfast time for me now!!
@@WatercolorElisabettaGood morning from here! Just poured my tea! 🫖Watching now😍
Love Sennelier, wonderful paints!
Have you tried their Forest Green? Very deep, absolutely beautiful!!!
Edna thank you. I have put it in my wish list! ❤️
For your free slot next to payne’s gray, maybe try light grey. It’s a very light blueish slate grey, pretty unique.
Sergio I will buy it for sure!! I was already looking into it, and slate colors are favourite of mines ❤️. Thank you!
Just lovely. I must put my paint in pans as well or I don’t use them. Beautifully vibrant. Thank you.
It’s such a waste not using such beautiful colors….In a palette they are so much more convenient ❤️
Ciao Elisabetta! Thank you for doing a swatch of your Sennelier palette. My favorite French ultramarine blue is Sennelier. I also love the warm grey. Grazie di tutto ! 🎨🖌️
Grazie a te Daniel! I am so proud of my new palette! Sennelier colors can be really unique 😍
This is so satisfying ☺☺☺
Exactly my feelings! 🫶
Bright red has been given 3 out of 4 stars for lightfastness by the company. They give opera rose 1. So it must be lightfast.
That is very good news! Actually, as another follower mentioned, NR might stand for NON RATED whereas I thought it was Natural Red, hence my comment. On the other hand, they rate yellow Sophie 3 stars, and apparently it’s fugitive!! The best solution is conducting your own tests….but it’s too complicated! Anyway, I tend to trust companies so I take your info as credible. Thanks!!
Oh fantastic. I have a 21 half pan senellier palette plus a new set of 12, amazingly all new to me, it was a boxed bargain I could not resist. Also a full pan set of Jackson’s, oh my it has taken years for some colours to dry! Why didn’t I think of combining this last one with Sennelier before! I loved seeing some of the more unusual colours and how much they added to your collection. I really really love using these colours. And shall definitely try for some of Senneliers greys, being able to use a good neutral palette is something I hope for, but I love those yellow greens too. Especially with your reds. I dislike huge palettes and would rather have two or three smaller ones open or to choose from, mainly because I spend too much time not making colour decisions! But I think also they make me nervous, so I always admire your ability to just paint! Sennelier I find are not so intimidating as Schmincke, I am not sure why, but they just feel easier to use and a bit more spontaneous. I hope you enjoy your newest collection a lot!
Ahaha Lindy it’s so true!! Schminke are more intimidating….like you can’t waste them!! Thanks for your lovely comment, I so much like chatting about watercolour! Each of us has different colours, habits, style!! Soooo interesting
I’ve been hearing so much about this paper recently! And guess what… I’ve got a gift card and might just have to try it!
Your video gives me the idea to put all of my tube paints into palettes, also because I maybe will use all of them😂
😂😂 hahaha Wendy! It’s a good starting point!! 🫶
Hi, I've just bought Sennelier Red PR 254 out of curiosity. ( The curse of all pigment nerds everywhere! ) Thanks for the video.
Very well said 😂 it’s a curse, a spell ❤️
@@WatercolorElisabetta Agreed ! Especially since the elusive quality of how a pigment handles is often more important - to me- than its obvious colour. Necessitating much research- well that is my usual excuse for my obsessiveness. Many thanks to you.
I chose between Sennelier and Schmincke when I started collecting professional paints. In the end I went with Schmincke, but these colours do look gorgeous! :)
I also love Schminke (and I need to set up a palette of all my tubes) but Sennelier are very unique and different. Some Sennelier tubes can be a great addition to a Schminke palette! Thank you for stopping by.
The background music is so oh la la! 😄
😂😂 I tried to have a French atmosphere 🇫🇷🥖
@@WatercolorElisabetta It worked! 😄
Roman Szmal also has azo condensation brown PBr23. They call it Transparent Brown.
Thx!! Have you seen it swatched?
@@WatercolorElisabetta Only in the Roman Szmal swatch chart. My replies keep getting deleted so I sent you the link in Instagram.
There is strong evidence that Jackson’s watercolours are manufactured by Sennelier. Teo Yi Chi removed the label off of one Jackson’s tube and the tube had the logo of Sennelier on it. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the title of the video.
Yes! They are! 😄😄😄
Ciao Elisabetta, mi piacerebbe vedere un video in italiano, sará da provinciale, ma sarebbe estremamente rilassante apprezzare i tuoi bei video senza sottotitoli, il mio inglese zoppica e non poco 😅
Ciao Greta!! È un po’ difficile per me fare un video in italiano, perché i miei follower purtroppo sono quasi tutti anglofoni…però se mi segui su Instagram ho fatto tante dirette in Italiano con @laurartetorino ! Prova a cercarle vedrai! Ti piaceranno credo…
@@WatercolorElisabetta grazie, ti seguo con interesse.
I wonder how long tubes lasts before getting unusable. It seems to be, that some manufacturers say 5 years…. I would love to hear experiences on this topics….❤
I think it depends on the pigment! I gave very old tubes in perfect conditions; cobalt violet is on the opposite side of the spectrum, it can rapidly become too dry!
I only have four Sennelier paints which is kinda strange. I could go to either of my local art shops and buy them. their Quin Red (PR209) is gorgeous, one of my favourites among all my paints. Your palette looks great!
We should never talk about paint 😂 now I want the quin red ❤️
@@WatercolorElisabetta I'm sorry 😂
I read on Wetcanvas that the Bright red is PR 3 which is likely not lightfast. "NR" might mean Not Rated.
I’m afraid you are right! I just double checked on Jackson’s and it says NA (not available). 😰😰 thank you!!
I love this video! Absolutely beautiful palette. I’m so curious about Sennelier, thank you for sharing. What paper did you use for the sketch- they truly are luminous!
Hello Amanda!! It’s Baohong paper. I love it!! I will add the link in the description box.
A green PBr7 ? That's fabulous. Do you observe any granulation in it?
Not a particularly intense granulation!! You can see it better in my comparison video about all my Green Earth paints ua-cam.com/video/032S9504BxY/v-deo.htmlsi=k_dFN-6qAeY8FVwZ
Good morning 🥱🙂
You are putting at risk your world champion title here!
@@WatercolorElisabetta True 😂
Beautiful colors ❤. But how come your Naples yellow deep has dried to the point it cracked? Mine has stayed wet since november when I poured it in my palette. And this town is not that humid. Most of the year we are in drought season.
Hi Paulina!! Maybe because I left my palette to dry on a window fence, over my heating fancoil 😂😱
@@WatercolorElisabetta Im going to try something similar and see if it finally dries. Wish me luck. And thanks for the idea 😊
It was an accident! 😳😂
FYI PY93 is fugitive 😕. Such a pity, it’s a nice colour.
Hi, I have read it is lightfast in different sources….very lightfast 🧐 I will send them to you…will you pls do the same?
@@WatercolorElisabetta With pleasure 😃. Gabriella Morovan uploaded a video titled “Lightfast results are in!” The PY93 faded completely in tints. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/WBP7STwxxAA/v-deo.htmlsi=MEF8kmBUJFaN4xkj.
@@WatercolorElisabetta With pleasure! My earlier comment got deleted so I sent you a link to the video in Instagram 🙂.
