As someone who used to fall in love with such cute palettes I wanted to pass along how you could get any of those colors without the chalky fillers and beautiful colors. If you can purchase just a set of artist grade Winsor and Newton or any other artist/ pro half pan set plus one tube of white gouache you have every one of the pastel colors plus fully saturated colors. They won’t fade in the light like those. They made cute sets just like that even 30 years ago when I learned that most of the color was filler like children paints. Now I smile and make my own confection colors. Maybe some just would love to be able to make more colors that are professional and save some money. They even sell the same size tins that you can decorate. Take care. Happy painting. Holbein makes awesome white opaque gouache in a tube and many sell 12 tube professional sets through stores like Blick’s, Cheap Joe’s art supplies, Jackson’s. Or one can buy 12 -5 ml tubes then a couple of white titanium gouache tubes and have a mixing party.
Thank you so much for the tip; I really do love these colors, but the chalkiness can be a real bother. 😔 I’ll have to try the method you mentioned here out, it sounds like so much fun to mix my own colors! 😊💞 (I pinned this comment so that others can hopefully see it too! ❤️)
I think it's meant as a convenience palette, for people who want access to the pastel colors right away. Might be useful on a trip or something like that, in a sketchbook the lightfastness is probably fine. But you can also make your own travel palette
Restless Artist Thanks so much, swatching is one of my favorite pass-times 😂❤️ I’m excited to use these sets in some watercolor works too, the colors are really unique!
Sammi Spaghetti The pastel set is so candy sweet; I haven’t found a use for it yet, lol. The Vintage pallets is one of my favorites though. Rose, Sage, and Suede really caught my eye! 😍❤️
I really loved your swatching and process! love that you compared both sets. Only thing is I could barely hear you from the music, but thanks for the vid!
Bee Thank you for the feedback! I’m still trying to get the hang of editing the music volume and such, so I apologize for the inconvenience. I’m glad you still enjoyed the video! ☺️❤️
Neither one is “better” per say, it just all depends on your taste! I like the Vintage pastels because I tend to use more muted tones. If you are looking to paint skin, Prima has a set of watercolors in a set like these, called ‘Prima Watercolor Complexions’. Out of the two that are shown in this video, I think Pastel Dreams would work better for skin.
@@unikoniiko I know the "watercolor complexion" but I think I am not going to get as much out of it as these watercolour. thank you so much! you have help me to take a decision
staruchii Absolutely. Picking one of the bright pastels and then pairing them with the more muted tones REALLY makes the bright color pop! ✨🌟 Also the Vintage Pastel doesn’t really have a purple, the Lilac Rain in the Pastel Dreams set really makes up for that. There are so many lovely combinations. 😍❤️
Oh that's cool hopefully you will make a video of what your digital art looks like that would be very interesting. Btw I love your videos they are so calming to watch and I love how perfect you do your swatches hope to see you soon!
@@unikoniiko hey have you figured it out yet lol! It's been awhile since your last vid idk but I keep coming back to this :D Hope your doing ok during this pandemic, it really sucks and is driving me crazy, but hope to see from you soon!
YOONGI_93 When mixed with water they are quite transparent. But as you can see with the swatches, when applied thickly, they are very opaque. Most of the colors actually covered the black numbers beneath them. As for the chalkiness; they definitely aren’t as smooth as more expensive watercolors. BUT I don’t think they are extremely chalky or anything. Most go down very smooth, especially when diluted with water. The more layering/buildup of paint, you may get a slight chalkiness, but it’s not bad enough to mention.

I love the way you swatch! It’s so clean and pretty!!!
Restless Artist Thanks so much, swatching is one of my favorite pass-times 😂❤️ I’m excited to use these sets in some watercolor works too, the colors are really unique!
Yes! I was wondering which one to get so it's nice to see them both together and see the differences. Thanks so much!
The swatches looked so great at the end and your tip with the washi tape will come in useful when I make my own :) Thank you
Evie M Thank you so much! I’m glad I could help! ☺️🌸💕

have you tried using both in the same drawing? i’m wondering if they pair well
staruchii Absolutely. Picking one of the bright pastels and then pairing them with the more muted tones REALLY makes the bright color pop! ✨🌟
Also the Vintage Pastel doesn’t really have a purple, the Lilac Rain in the Pastel Dreams set really makes up for that. There are so many lovely combinations. 😍❤️
Oh this was 6 months ago :( hopefully you will come back. Hope your doing ok!
I’ve been doing a lot of digital art lately so my traditional art has been pushed to the back burner. 😅 Thank you for taking interest though!
Oh that's cool hopefully you will make a video of what your digital art looks like that would be very interesting. Btw I love your videos they are so calming to watch and I love how perfect you do your swatches hope to see you soon!
Sxnshine•Wolfie I’m not sure how to film my digital art yet... taking me a while to figure out this technology stuff. 😂🤣
