- Updating my granulating WATERCOLOUR palette | Roman Szmal Aquarius UNBOXING and SWATCHING
Hi Guys!
Welcome back to my channel
In this video I unbox and swatch out some of Roman Szmal's watercolours. I've never tried this brand before and after several recommendations from my last video, I thought I'd give them a try.
As you may know, I've been building a custom watercolour palette of granulating watercolours and today I'm going to update it to give me a finished, well rounded palette with a range of watercolours that will work best for me and the subjects I typically like to paint. There is no right or wrong way to build your own palette as it's a personal thing but hopefully this video will give you some idea of what to think about or consider if you want to curate one for yourself.
Have a great week and thank you for watching!
Sarah xx

I think you'd really enjoy Roman Szmal's hematite violet shade. It's an earthy red like caput mortuum, granulates a lot, and has incredible colour separation despite being a single pigment. It's quite special and would be right at home with your landscape shades. Aquarius brown is also fab for mixing with natural colours for a bit of texture. Oh, and Aquarius black is like no other PBk11 I've ever seen, really intense granulation.
I'm from Poland and you pronounce "Przybysz" in a very interesting and nice way, it's delicate like a whisper and is just pleasing to hear 😊
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I should say this, QUEEN YoU Are sOOo UNDERRATED! Like, your skills are sooo good at painting and you make a really pleasing person to listen to. I’m so happy I’m living in a time where humble artists like you are present! God bless Sarah!
Wow! Thank you so much and welcome! 😊🤗
I love how your swatches are so detailed and neat! Tundra Pink is one of my favourite colours. :)
I am glad that you have worked out your granulated palette. I am not able to recall the mixture of yellow and orange-yellow I mixed for my palette years ago. I do remember pouring paint from tubes and mulling them together, but that’s all I can see in my head. The names continue to elude me. I do remember how transparent the yellow was with the darker flecks settling in the low points in the Arches Rough paper I used for those paintings. I am sure excited to see how you use these paints in your next granulated painting! Please take care, be safe and enjoy your new palette!
Thank you! We'll have to keep working on that yellow! 😉
I love these paints though I wish they had tubes! Mineral violet is my absolute favourite colour. Call it pishbish grey - that's what it says in Polish! Lovely collection Sarah.
Pishbish grey- 😊 -thank you! I always mess up the pronunciations! Mineral violet is gorgeous 😊
Also another little tip if you buy very small extra strong magnets, l got mine off Aliexpress, and use super glue to adhere to the bottom of each pan …. I also use a fine sharpie marker to write the name on the pans. Then if you take the pan holder out of the paint pallet you can organise your pan whatever way you like and you will fit many more pans in the bottom … and the magnets make them easy to move around 😎😎😎
These look lovely paints, I’m going to have to purchase these xx
Thank you Louise! I'm looking forward to trying them out in a painting very soon 😊
Hello how're you doing today hope you and your family are safe due to the covid 19 pandemic?
I really like your calm art 💜 very pleasant to watch. For granulating yellow i really can recommend vulcano yellow from Schmincke Horadam. (also the vulcano red they're both single pigment colors and highly granulating)
Stumbled across this channel and learning so much ...thank you for sharing. I am interested in the water colour brushes that you use and would love to see a vid showing their various properties. Cheers Judy
Thank you Judy! I am currently in the process of editing another video where I tried theses brushes out so stay tuned! 😊
Have they stopped their 10% off for new customers? It’s so close to Christmas and they’re not offering anyyyyy kind of deal? Wow.
If you place them in the freezer for 5 minutes makes it easier to remove the cover paper 😊
Awesome 💯
Thank you! 😊
These paints look so gorgeous! Can you use these along with sennelier aquarelle watercolors?
nice way to swatch your colours .. not seen it done like that before
Thank you so much 😊
You should see swatches of mission gold cobalt yellow. It is such a lovely granulating yellow. Also I have not seen cobalt yellow anywhere else in other brand so it would be interesting to see you using it 😊😊😊
Thank you for the suggestion Vennie! I jumped straight onto Jacksons and Amazon to buy this but it doesn't seem to come up. Maybe it's not available anymore but I will definitely keep looking! 😊🤗
@@SarahNewburyArt try GreatArt, but be aware that their shipping times are atrocious. The newer Mission Gold paints (W600 onwards) only seem to be available in Eastern countries and on their website. Jackson's range is quite limited by comparison. Cobalt yellow is W628, PY40 for reference.
PY40 is notorious for losing all of it's yellow hue and instead becoming grey. The lightfastness is atrocious.
A very pale and very softly granulating yellow is Lemon Yellow Deep by W&N (PY159). A granulating orange is Naples Orange by St. Petersburg White Nights (PY216). Personally I also love their Naples Yellow Light (also PY216), though I would hesitate to call it granulating, perhaps sliiiightly. A warmer earth yellow that granulates is Sennelier Naples Yellow Deep (PBr24) it's gorgeous! Roman Szmal also have a beautiful PBr24 but it's more earthy and less yellow, so more of an orange brown, with a beautiful granulation. ☺️
Does the rack lift out of your palette? If so you can add adhesive magnets to your pans and fit a lot more in there. I've stopped using rack palettes entirely.. too much wasted space for me. Also check amazon they have some lovely tins that hold 20 full pans (or 40 half pans) in various colors and patterns.. very cheap and so compact, about the size of a smartphone. I adore them, by far the best paint storage system I have found. The ones I bought last were by Booyee but there are a few distributors that sell the same item.
Yes it does! Excellent idea, thank you! I've also looked into the tins you suggested and it's opened up a whole new world of possibilities. There are some beautiful designs available. Only possible downside I can see is that you don't then have a white mixing surface as the inside of the tin is silver but I guess you could always spray it white?
@@SarahNewburyArt I mix on a separate ceramic surface so it's not an issue for me.. usually either a flower palette with wells or a flat platter. I've also been experimenting with mixing on paper (inexpensive watercolor or mixed media) after seeing it done by an artist I follow.. I've been doing a lot of smaller work in pen and wash and actually really enjoyed it. It's great for thin glazes as it controls the water very easily, you can pick up those highly diluted shades much easier without a flooded brush or all the pigment settling to the bottom. Also great for travel since you can just toss it when done and it's unbreakable. Otherwise, yes you can just spray the lid white with an enamel or add a plastic liner cut to size.
Hi Sarah. New to your channel and loving your tutorials. These are gorgeous colours. Have you tried the Renesans watercolours from Poland? (-: Marion
Hi Marion and welcome! I haven't yet tried Renesans watercolours but I have heard good things about them so may try them out in the future 😊
Nice palette)) Also, Schmincke`s French ultramarine is so much nicer and more granulating than DS`s
Thank you! 😊
P. Grey is fugitive just FYI. It's the PR177 same issue with Moonglow.
Thank you- I feared as much but am currently doing my own lighfast test - just in case! 😉
Jacksons has such amazing packing. I'm impressed all over again every time I order from them.
I know! I love receiving parcels from them 😊
Right? Also no matter how many things I have ordered always got all send without problems..Just made one order,can’t wait to get it,love Jackson’s packages more than beauty bay and alikes 😂
Could you please link the writeable narrow washi tape you used to label the pans? I'm trying to get civilised and move away from Sharpies. Though maybe Dymo is the way forward...
Hi ! I'll try and link them here.... They were a 12 pack from Amazon (UK)
www.amazon.co.uk/Yubbaex-Decorative-Journals-Planners-Scrapbooking/dp/B07MF1V29T/ref=sr_1_6?crid=2N4HPZ5K03KBV&keywords=narrow+pastel+coloured+washi+tape&qid=1646133812&sprefix=narrow+pastel+coloured+washi+tape%2Caps%2C60&sr=8-6
Let me know if it works 😊
You can add granulation medium to your water.
Hi! Funnily enough I do have some of the granulating medium and had intended to make a video on it but for some reason I didn't have much success with it. Have you tried it and if so, is there a trick to getting good results? 😊
Do you have any recommendations for watercolour paints that don’t have things like honey in? I don’t want paints that can go mouldy, as I now live in a country where it gets extremely hot (55c/131f), also with humidity reaching as high as 100%, and I don’t have a/c. Thankyou, in advance for any advice you can give.
I can’t edit my original comment, so sorry. For some reason, your Etsy link doesn’t work, and I had to type in your full name followed by the word ‘art’ to find your shop.
Hi Oz! I will have to look into the Etsy link - So sorry you had trouble with it. So far as watercolours without honey, I really like Schmincke horadam or WInsor and Newton professional watercolours as they are within my budget and easy enough to get hold of where I live in the UK. Daniel Smith are also lovely but more expensive here in the UK so it's worth having a look at what's available within your budget where you live. Hope this helps 😊
@@SarahNewburyArt Thankyou so much for the advice! I’ll look into the first two, for sure. I might be lucky enough to find them here. I can always buy a couple at a time if they’re really expensive.
I think the Daniel Smith would be horrendously expensive. Also, I heard there was a controversy about the mineral paints, and the company’s reply was incredibly rude. That being said, even if I could afford them, not sure I’d want to buy them, lol!
@@SarahNewburyArt I took your advice today, now I just have to wait for my parcel! Because I don’t live in the U.K. I didn’t have to pay VAT, so I was lucky enough to get a 24 full pan set of Schmincke for £110, and a 12 half pan set for £43 from Jackson’s Art. They are having a sale on that particular brand, so if you need any more Schmincke watercolours, now is the time to get them! I spent way too much money really, but for those prices it was an opportunity I couldn’t afford to miss.
Anyway, thankyou again for your advice!
Can you please swatch a few triads to get an idea what you can get from that fabulous granulating collection ? Fantastic colours!
Great idea Pierre, thank you! 😊
