- Опубліковано 13 лют 2024
- Hello friends!
I’m Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist with a passion and a curiosity for art supplies and pigments.
As you know, Schmincke has recently released some Retro Products; they include different sets, with current paint but original vintage design.
Today I'm swatching the wonderful little set of 8 half pans.
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!

Thank you for having the pigment information listed on the swatches. 🙂
It’s a pleasure to write down the pigments ! Thank you!
Thanks for the review, Elisabetta! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos ❤
Ciao!
Thanks to you!! Such a wonderful set!! Grazie mille 😍
I have a few of those bijou palettes. I find it easier to put the pans in them if you turn them so they line up horizontally.
Great video as always
Thank you!! I feel a bit dumb now 😨😂
I just ordered this pallet and after your video I can't wait for it to arrive. I got drawn to it because of the colors. I live in Spain and I think they will fit my environment. I made up a limited pallet myself with eight colors of my choice and I find myself always going back to this more limited pallet and mixing from there. Paintings this way always seem to look more organic with the colors relating to each other. Your little landscape by the way is amazing.
Thank you Christine! I love challenging myself with limited palettes, which contrasts a little with my impulse to collect colours. But I also find myself going back to the same colours while I paint…. Thank you for your comment! Enjoy your new paint ❤️
@@WatercolorElisabetta hello Elisabetta, little update, I have the pallet now for some weeks. I really love it and it really fulfils my expectations. It is my first time using Schminke paint and I have to say they are lovely and great to use. Greetings and have a nice summer.
@christinestotzel2671 have a lovely summer you too! Schminke has beautiful colours….♥️ I’m glad you enjoy your new set!
Your sweater looks adorable as well! (: Thanks, I learn so much from your swatching!
Actually, you are adorable!! Thank you for your very kind comment! 🫶
Love the palette, paints, and your painting. Your landscapes have been outstanding. I believe it's your loose style that really shines. 😍 Congratulations on making a whole sweater.....I would probably stop at a simple potholder. 😂
Thank you Tracy!! No congratulations on sweater! It’s my way to turn off my brain in front of Netflix after dinner 😂😂
@@WatercolorElisabetta That sounds like a great way to wind down. 😀
Thanks for the nice video 💜 always a pleasure to watch.
I bought the set because of the retro design (I love historical things) and because it's such a cute little palette. The colors weren't ones I would have chosen but the reason why they've chosen them is because of the historical background. (If you're interested in the background story how this retro line was made/ companies history I have a video about that).
Wish you a wonderful day/ wonderful Valentine's Day ❤
Hello Arsinoe! This adorable little palette is perfect for us pigment nerds!! I would love to watch the video! How fascinating! Thank you so much.
This is incredible, I love looking at retro supplies ☺☺☺
Isn’t it cute?? Thank you for your comment!
Nice sketching...
I really like this vintage design, especially the blocky font.
Not sure about the chosen color palette but maybe I'll try it.
Thank you very much and keep knitting on.
After dinner I usually turn off my brain knitting in front of Netflix….the color selection is for sure unusual but it’s a good practice for creativity! Thank you for your kind words.
That's a lovely little palette indeed. Thanks for sharing, Elisabetta💕
Thank to you Antonela!! 💖
You came up with such beautiful mixes in your sketch. The colours work well together. 😊
Thank you Bianca. I was a bit surprised of the colour selection at first, but then I found it very interesting! 😀
When I first started painting with watercolors, I didn't care for granulation or opaque colors. That's when I started looking, found, and purchased Schmincke's finest UMBlue. 😂 I still really enjoy using it, too.
Yes Tracy, not always granulation is the right effect! You are right it’s beautiful.
Very nostalgic and warm leaning mix chart. I like it.
Actually, it is very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
You put the paints back in the box the wrong direction, they should sit long side top and bottom so there is space for the bar to hold them in. With Winsor & Newton their pans are narrower, so I can up end them and get 5 across on the top and bottom using magnetic tape to hold them in as you can’t get the bar in that way around. The middle will hold 4 more paints again horizontally. I bought this palette it’s so cute. I don’t want to take retro labels off the paints! 😂
Your little landscape is beautiful ❤️
Thank you for the lovely review, Elisabetta! I adore your little landscape painting, it’s so beautiful. I’ve treated myself to the same little set, and I wish they had replaced either the ochre or the raw umber by the cochenille red. That would have been a more balanced palette, IMHO.
But you are right, a limited choice of colours makes you more creative. While you were swatching I thought a combination of only the two last colours would make a splendid almost monochromatic study.
Looking forward to discovering the possibilities offered by this set - It’s still waiting for me because I haven’t had the chance to use it yet.
Dearest Hercule!! Long time no see! You know what? I always leave my paint in a drawer for a while before using them… this set is simply irresistible isn’t it? Goodbye my friend!
@@WatercolorElisabetta Covid has put to a halt to my regular life. I contracted it for the first time in November, got laryngitis in December, and I’m just now recovering from severe bronchitis. My physician told me that Covid often ruins your immune system and makes you prone to random infections. Therefore I wasn’t up to other things than my regular working schedule and family obligations because I felt exhausted all the time. But I’ve got the feeling it’s getting better now, and I’m looking forward to trying out and using art supplies. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. Have a lovely day and weekend, dear friend! 🤩
👋🏼
Super first 🥇
😊 Thanks!
Your painting turned out so pretty. Thanks for sharing the retro set I was wondering what it was like. I wonder if their other half pans will fit in there and then you could pick your colors.
Yes, the set uses their standard half pans. Very convenient for substitutions.
Yes, absolutely! Only the labels are different but paint inside and pans are identical to their standard range…
You do beautiful landscapes, and this one is no exception. ❤
Aaawww thank you so much !! I’m so glad!
oooh this is perfect for Valentine's Day 💝
I hadn’t thought about it!! You are right! 😃
That's a nice Yellow Ochre, a color I tend to stay away from due to its pasty, mustard-ish tone. Maybe it's the lighting, but the Viridian seems blue-ish, more like Manganese Blue.
Hi Steve! In reality, it is greener than it looks on screen! When I swatch many colors together, some of them are slightly different than in reality. Good eye!
Your little painting is wonderful
Dear Matthias 😂 I feel a bit awkward now 😂😂 now that you say how to turn the pans it sounds obvious! Btw I really envy your travel palette it has been in my wishlist forever! Top class!!
@@WatercolorElisabetta Haha ... I'm glad I could help ;) You can also fit 4 extra pans sideways in the center section (they sit a little bit higher but you can still use the locking tabs and close the lid :) ) I love my little travel palette, even though the black paint finish on the palette tin isn't perfect and the lid with the mixing trays won't stay level unless you support it with your finger the whole time ;)
@matthiasaronjonsson3066 well well it seems I must start saving for this Schminke travel set! 😃. Thank you for your comments and have a very nice day, hope you get some time for painting.
Wonderful essential palette!!! and beautiful sketch. I tend to get overwhelmed and frustrated with results when I have too large of a palette. This is great. I love the size of the tin as well! How did you find using this special ultramarine?
To be honest, although I love granulation, I think that being the only blue it’s better to have a non granulating version! I loved it!! Thank you for stopping by 🤗
You struggled to get the metal thing in place. I think you need to turn the pans, then the metal thing (what is it called?) will fit better.
😂😂😂🤗it’s done now.
@@WatercolorElisabetta 😄😄👍🏼👍🏼
Can you fit another 4 half pans across the centre of this tin?
Yes you can!! You can add 4 half pans.
@@WatercolorElisabetta That's great. Thank you
