Dot cards are great! I love Van Gogh, especially the dusk colors and the light oxide black. Van Gogh colors re-wet very well, are affordable, and are generally lightfast. They are an excellent option, though a bit more opaque as others have commented. Nice video! :)
I have the Rembrandt paints so it’s very interesting to see most of the colours are the same names and even the special ones they have in the Rembrandts. I know the Rembrandts are supposed to be the professional range so I’m interested now to see if there’s much difference even said the Van Gogh ones had a mostly good lightfast rating.
I wonder if they’ve changed the formulation of their colours recently. I have 19 of them (I think), and some of mine have different pigments. And it looks like the ultramarine on your dot card doesn’t have much granulation, but mine does. Interesting. They are nice paints. Not my favourites, but nice. They’re the ones I use in my Karolina Kubikowska books
Yea they have today's a few over the past couple of years. Ultramarine typically granulates BUT this paper wasn't watercolor paper too so it did impede some natural granulation
I intended to purchase this dot sample based on watching your video. The artists consensus seems unanimous regarding the quality and value for your dollar on the Van Gogh line of pigments. Will you please consider doing a video on all the different types of pigments,ie, quinacridone, process, indanthrone, just to name a few. SO, basically all the watercolor pigments that may be unformilar to newer artists. I CAN'T find much information regarding these UNIQUE types of pigments on UA-cam. I AM SURE SO MANY NEWER ARTISTS WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE, THANKS. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, MY FRIEND !
I'm glad I found your video, I'm going tomorrow to buy some of the VG paints but wanted to check out the colors first and your video seems to be the most recent one, where all the others seems to be years old- thank you! 😄🧑🎨🎨🖼️💖 Oh yeah- I think I'm also going to buy some dot cards too 😄🔵⚪🔴
The interference colours i think are supposed to go on black paper to properly show, that is how i see them market it and also what i have seen people do swatching the colours before
Yes, but if you don't typically paint on black watercolor paper, I always suggest swatching on what you paint on, and for me, I paint on this paper. I'm betting they'd look awesome on black paper though
So these typically have a sheen to them, work best on black paper rather than white, and are usually pearlescent with mica in them. So, basically, you're fun glittery paints.
@@ColorfullyOptimistic of the ones I tried, Winsor & Newton was the one that warped the least. For this Van Goh, I honestly felt I was fighting the paper so I wouldn’t get stains. I did like some of their colors.
So true on the Sap Greens. ❤ I love a few different versions from multiple brands and each has a unique character. This was very enjoyable!
It really is a unique color and I love seeing how each brand classifies and creates their Sap Green.
I didn't know they had that many colors. I've never seen that many.
The dot cards are a great idea.
Thank you for the suggestion.
You are so welcome!I love dot cards just to try out brands and see

Yeah, they do have some opacity to them, but nothing to turn me off. They water out nicely.
That’s so cool to be able to get a feel for the whole range. They have some pretty purples and pinks
Oh yea for sure. That way you can see what you like before you buy
Love the dusk colors particularly dusk pink, dusk violet, and dusk green. Thank you for sharing!
Yeah I had purchased dusk ones before even buying the dot cards - I just knew I'd love them haha
Such pretty colors! 💜
I think so too!

Yeah, the VanGogh have a surprising range of very nice lightfast ratings, so I too was sort of curious and they are wayyyyy cheaper than Rembrandt.
My favs are the blues and greens and the Dusk colors‼️💙💚💙💚😃
The blues are quite striking for sure.

They did, more monopigmented ones
Loved this! So tempting tho haha 😂❤
Dot cards are always tempting...then you want to buy all of the colors haha
Thanks so much for this dot card swatching . I have heard very good things about these van gogh , it's nice to see the entire color range swatched!!
Glad it was helpful! I was really impressed, especially when you consider how affordable they are!

Dot cards are always a great place to start! Just so you can see the color in person and determine if you like it.
the naples yellow got mixed with indian yellow ;) it actually does not look that yellow at all.
I did swatch it later by itself and still wasn't impressed.
The interference colours i think are supposed to go on black paper to properly show, that is how i see them market it and also what i have seen people do swatching the colours before

Try to swatch again the naples yellow red. Is not like that. While you were paiting the dot, you touch the indian yellow and spread all over it.
Will do!
What does Interferance Color mean?
So these typically have a sheen to them, work best on black paper rather than white, and are usually pearlescent with mica in them. So, basically, you're fun glittery paints.
Thanks Kori 💕
I wish these folks had used better paper. I felt I was fighting the sheet so water wouldn’t just pool.
I agree. Sadly, most dot cards are on crap paper :(
