Mungyo Watercolor Review

Mungyo Watercolor Review
After dozens of requests to review these bargain priced paints I bought a set to see what the fuss was about.
I picked up the set of 48 in a metal palette for $50 on Amazon: amzn.to/2RLC1Vm
Here are the swatch stamps I used: shrsl.com/15rqd
Pros:
Bright colors
Rewets instantly
Low price (about $1 a half pan)
Pigment info included
Most colors are fairly lightfast.
Many single pigment colors
Mixes well for a budget paint
Cons:
Colors lift really easily so glazing is difficult and you can notice the paints start to get chalky if you layer overmixed colors.
Some colors uses unusual pigments not usually found in artist quality paints so make a not of the lightfastness info on the pan wrappers.
Right off the bat these paints reminded me of 2 of my favorite craft watercolor paints the Prima Marketing ones and the Jane Davenport watercolors from American Crafts. If you like those paints you can go ahead and get these and be pleased as punch:)
Going by the colors and the pigment numbers supplies on Jane Davenports Website the colors from the neutrals and bright palette are in this set and going by sight colors that look like the majority of the sea glitz palette are also included. You can see my indepth review of the Jane Davenport watercolors here: • Jane Davenport Waterco...

Brights: amzn.to/2pQSRFu
Neutrals: amzn.to/2CFN91G
Sea Glitz: amzn.to/2RKottr
I also found matches for the Prima sets: The Classics, Decadent Pies and Tropicals. I went by sight as well as the pigment info found on the Spin Doctors Blog that he obtained from Prima Marketing. You can see all of that info here: www.the-spin-do...
I have a review of Prima watercolors here: • PRIMA Watercolors//Col...
*I also notices that Mungyo sells a pastel set that looks like the pastel dreams one from Prima: amzn.to/2CdKcEs but Primas is cheaper: amzn.to/2pRpGCd
Prima watercolor to buy:
Classics: amzn.to/2pPvMmG
Tropicals: amzn.to/2pSYWBk
Decadent Pies: amzn.to/2CJjox1
*They also have other sets with more diverse palettes that may or may not have similar colors.
Bottom line these paints are comparable to the Prima and Jane Davenport watercolors but if you already own the sets I mentioned you will have duplicate colors. If you want a vibrant set of colors that isn't too pricey and you don't want to do a lot of glazing this is a great set. The paint also has a lovely texture for direct painting and loose watercolor florals. I would not call these artist or professional grade as the box suggests tho but fun for quick paintings and crafts!
