The paintbrushes come hard and sharp like that because the companies put a little of soluble glue, many people suggest washing the paintbrush thoroughly before use for best results! That’s also why it feels slimy!
Also Becareful people, if you rush to get rid of the Gum Arabic glue, that new natural brushes come with on their bristles, then you will damage the tiny hair that every single naturea bristle has on it, which is actually what holds the paint and water, so it will not hold as much water as it could otherwise. The brush also will not last long. So, dip the brussh in clean water, (untill all the hair are covered but do not cover with water all the ferrule, to avoid water getting into the wood!) keep the brush there for a minute or 2, and then very gently, start rubbing it in the sides of the glass/jar, to remove all the Gum Arabic. After that, I take it to the sink and let water run through the bristles again, add brush soap, to remove the final amount of glue, using my fingers to wash it out, run some clean water again, READY to use!!
You got the Rembrandt watercolour set 😍 lucky you. They are the professional watercolours, the van Gogh watercolours are the student grade paints of the same brand.
Not a fan of the sponsor due to personal experiences and stories from others but I’m glad you had a good experience with them and the products are great 👍 I really want to try those watercolour pads now !!
I was actually looking for a comment with some personal experience. I browsed their site for the beautiful golden watercolour paints and some things about it just made me warry of their services. Thank you for your comment.
I rather not talk about it in another creators comments section on a video that was sponsored by that company since it's somewhat disrespectful ... Well to me anyways. 😊
As far as I can tell, they are pretty much over-priced. I checked the 12 set of Rembrandt watercolors and they are 50% off at 99$, but on Amazon they are 83$, no special offer...
jadefox33445 Having WHOIS hidden doesn’t, on its own, mean it’s a scam. I ALWAYS protect my WHOIS info. My friend had a crazed fan show up at her house and walk in without knocking because they found her address via WHOIS! It’s a safety issue for small businesses.
The dark cubes are a result of very transparent pigments with high masstone. Cadmium yellow is opaque so it looks the same when diluted or concentrated, but dioxazine purple is transparent and subtracts light so a lot of it looks black.
Right in time! I had my eyes on those exact items and hesitated buying them for some reason. Now I think I'm convinced enough to try them out. Thank you!
I love your little creatures, they are so cute and the art supplies look so interesting. My favourite was the big brush. Thanks for sharing this video :)
You can tighten the pans by pushing the curled edge in toward the pan. It's meant to hold the pans in place. PS code doesn't work, but others have told you also. :)
fun to see the different paper--you pointed it out; thick cold press paper has a capillary action so has to be bone dry to paint adjacent colors without bleeding. I use a Rembrandt travel set because the colors are so moist and intense. And they make the best red violet (PV19) ever. I've had the same set 15 years and it's like new. (brush is long gone--haha)
the discount code doesn't work for me i know it has nothing to do with the video just wanted to let you know ps: your one of my favorite art youtuber :)
Love the colors! I have an idea for a video. Maybe try making a watercolor picture with the basic pallets with the basic rainbow colors but you can only use 2 colors including tints, tones, and shades. I just think that would be interesting
Someone drawing "White Nights"? That's russian paint, cheep and awesome at all!! I'm from Russia, just interesting, someone from other country using our paint
This brand of watercolor seems really nice to work with and the drawing turns out very nice on the rough paper even though both drawings are beautiful. Personnally I prefered the first version of the mouse, but I think it is a matter of taste (more natural colours with the yellow and green background).
While I liked the smoother paper look with the mouse(?) I did enjoy how the rough paper seemed to make the rabbits fur look more fluffy. Or maybe it just appeared that way.
Royal Talens is not the company that makes the Gelly Rolls and Pigma Microns; rather, Sakura, the company that does, owns Royal Talens. I don't know about the Banggood art supplies, but doubt that it's of the same brand, as Banggood, is, if memory serves, Chinese, while Sakura is Japanese.
About the paint brush: bristles with be glued together for protection when shipping, and the glue will go away by soaking them in water. That's why it felt gooey.
Translation of the watercolour paper: 细纹 means fine tooth or fine grain (guessing it's the paper texture) and 粗纹 means coarse grain/tooth. 四面封胶 means glued/sealed on four sides so I'm guessing it's either a block or it's been processed? 棉浆 means cotton-[like] pulp so I'm guessing it's made of cotton or cotton-like material 无酸 means acid-free Hope this helped~
I can only read the three large kanji... kinda 水 water... mize... the third is 本 book... hon... So I can only imagine the middle is book... Process of elimination... lol
Think the coolest thing about that website is that it has free shipping to Australia! So if one day I ever have enough money to indulge in new traditional art supplies I know shipping isn't an issue :O
you can't necessarily trust wish, I bought what looked like Pigma micron pens in both the image and the description and they sent me fakes. Could tell with them not being waterproof. Got my money back though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think she probably just means you’re so underrated and you should have way more people subbed to you because you’re great! We need to keep liking your videos so the algorithm finds you and promotes you to more people !
Does anyone else find Kattvalk swatching to be so AESTHETIC
😂😂😂 hey i kinda know where that came from
I suggest using water color pencils for the sketching because when you use water it gets 90% rid of them specially if you drew lightly.
You can fix the pans moving by removing them from the tin and pushing the metal tabs in a bit more, then snapping the pans into place

Yea, they are definitely a scam website. I looked up their owner info, and they've hidden it. They've attached it to Whoisguard Inc.

The little creatures are soooo cuteeee!!! :DDD
I love your style so much :3
I love all of your art! You inspired me to try watercolors! I absolutely love them and I’m glad I had found your channel so long ago!
The greens are so vibrant, absolutely gorgeous 😍 Also I hope we get to see you use the giant brush again soon!
I loved the bunny! I really like texture so I'm more into the rough paper drawing. Your creatures are so adorable!

i love watching you painting with watercolors and this video is *P E R F E C T*
One small note: the lifting of the paint depends on paper, as well. If you compare paints, you should do so on the same paper you used to use.
I have a 48 pallette and the swatched colors are gorgeous.
I've used this paper, and loved it. Would recommend.
Lovely pictures!!
Right in time! I had my eyes on those exact items and hesitated buying them for some reason. Now I think I'm convinced enough to try them out. Thank you!
I will always be here for watercolor videos!!!
Yes!!!! I was so hyped that you’re gonna review that watercolor paper!! Thank you so much!!😭💕💕💕
I love your little creatures, they are so cute and the art supplies look so interesting. My favourite was the big brush. Thanks for sharing this video :)
Aaaah! Your art always amazes me, Kattvalk! It's so satisfying seeing that watercolor paintings :0
I love the mouse with the purple background. Both pieces are amazingly great!!! 💖
In Love with your art! 🥰 i want to use watercolors again after your video 😱🖌
@katvalk you inspired me to start drawing and using watercolors hope to be as good as you one day

The code is working now :)

This video is just so fun. I've watched it 4 times already!
I really love the first painting!
I love them both. They are so cute!
if you remove the water colors pans and pinch the metal tabs together you will get a tighter fit and the pans wont jiggle around.
the discount code doesn't work for me
i know it has nothing to do with the video
just wanted to let you know
ps: your one of my favorite art youtuber :)

Royal Talens does not make the Sakura Microns, the make the Ecoline liquid watercolors and pens!
YES, thank you!
Royal Talens is owned by Sakura and manufactures some of their products.
@@capnstabbn sorry, just read their wikipedia and yes they do en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Talens
@@capnstabbn lOL bIG oOF, thanks for the correct lol🙌🙌🙏
While I liked the smoother paper look with the mouse(?) I did enjoy how the rough paper seemed to make the rabbits fur look more fluffy. Or maybe it just appeared that way.

Yes Sakura is one if royal talens brands
And I did also soak the brush in water, as you could see 😊
Translation of the watercolour paper:
细纹 means fine tooth or fine grain (guessing it's the paper texture) and 粗纹 means coarse grain/tooth.
四面封胶 means glued/sealed on four sides so I'm guessing it's either a block or it's been processed?

无酸 means acid-free
Hope this helped~
@@Kattvalk Yup~ Good job on figuring it out! I just wanted to explain the gooeyness, so as to not confuse you
Im early!! What lovely art!! I need to try watercolor..
I Love Your Art!
My favourite is actually the yellow and grey mouse! I might just have to enter the giveaway!
Im really curios about this paint. I allready got schmincke ones. Witch one you think is better??
You mentioned your instagram, but how do you join the giveaway ?
Cool !! love you'r channel !! ^^
Katt, try reading with google translate. You can take a pic and it will translate for you. ♥️
I seem to LOVE purples so so much, but I actually never use them in my paintings :')
I have too many violets and purples. Considering you can mix them. But looking at them just makes me happy. Unlike yellows and reds.
These are such adorable characters!! Would you mind if I drew them? ❤️❤️😍😍
woooo
So since they shipped to Sweden, it must mean they ship to Denmark as well, right?
They ship worldwide I believe 😊
@@Kattvalk thank you! I've been looking for a decent art store for eons! We have nothing in the appendix of Scandinavia 🎨😩👌🏻
Cute
WATERCOLORS OwO
I can only read the three large kanji... kinda 水 water... mize... the third is 本 book... hon... So I can only imagine the middle is book... Process of elimination... lol
studying Japanese, and getting art fix... So I enjoy when supplies come that I can do both.

Scam website, dont buy from there. Trust me.

It should work now!

That paper may not be as good of a deal as you think--I've seen it on wish!
you can't necessarily trust wish, I bought what looked like Pigma micron pens in both the image and the description and they sent me fakes. Could tell with them not being waterproof. Got my money back though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whats lightfast?
That they don’t fade when exposed to sunlight
When you continue drawing MLP ?
Did u recently get engaged or married? Never seen u wearing a ring b4!
