  • Today I bought and tried the most expensive art supply on Etsy! This watercolor set is over $600 and I wanted to try it to see if it was worth it. I've tried many cheap and expensive art supplies over the years and I love to rate different etsy products
    Here is the art supply: www.etsy.com/listing/10900205...

    It‘s actually normal for watercolour to be individually wrapped. The numbers are always on the side of the „thingy“ so you know which colour to buy when it is empty. Love, that you tried them. I love to paint with them although I cannot paint 😂

      If you can put paint on paper, you can paint! I mean seriously, there’s a painting of a red square that sold for millions I believe. Your joy scribbles and paint splatters are certainly better art and they bring you joy! That’s the point of art ❤❤❤

      Individually wrapping them also keeps them "clean" during shipping. No contamination of French ultramarine blue into your lemon yellow or stuff like that. Also, some colors dry out quicker and are prone to falling out of the pan.

    For the glittery ones you want to add water and leave them at least a minute (longer is better) to get activated. That way you can get a really good solid glitter layer. I love that about my handmade Claire Chi Studio watercolours. My precious shinies! 🤩🤩🤩

    Try to spray the pallet with a spray bottle first to moisten them then wait about 5 minutes THEN use them.
    I learned that you actually need to activate them before you use them so try to do that then use them. It will improve the quality and how rich the colour is if you do this.

      Not with these particular watercolours, I have purchased them myself. I spent over $165 on individual half pants, and I did everything I could and couldn’t activate 3/4 of the colours I ordered no matter what I did, and I am very familiar with water colours. I use them all the time including handmade. These were very poorly made when they dry if you can get any colour they come off like chalk on your finger. I didn’t give her a bad review though because she seems to have just started out. and is a small business and I don’t want to do any damage.

    • @milkaboom
      @milkaboom 7 місяців тому +46

      ​@@jessbutterfly9801that's how they look to me as well 😬 just extremely chalky and not very nice. And why white/ super light paints?? It's watercolour! You don't need light paints, you can just dilute the dark ones. I'm just confused as to who the targeted person is. Because a beginner would certainly be okay with chalky paint but would probably not buy expensive hand made paints, while experienced persons are fine with spending more money on their supplies, they spend it on high quality products and not chalk. I do love that people make such things themselves, I'm just a little confused 😅

    • @JadeScarlett
      @JadeScarlett 7 місяців тому +35

      So many of the colors look like they’re just different values of the same hue. Also, they look so chalky I believe that’ll make it hard to rewet and probably not very transparent. Lastly, most or all of these trendy expensive handmade watercolors have no information whatsoever on pigments and lightfastness. Honestly, at the sale price of this set one could buy probably around 10-15 tubes of the very best professional watercolors in the market, that comes with probably four times, if not more, the amount of paint. I sell my original paintings, I can’t risk using a material with no lightfastness ratings, but I guess if I were a hobby watercolor paint with deep pockets, this might be nice to play with since with all these colors you don’t need to have any knowledge of color mixing. At the full price of those, I could maybe buy 30 tubes of Schimincke Super Granulation paints. That’s almost all of them (40). Now that I wouldn’t have a problem spending 😊

    • @Joy.Elizabeth
      @Joy.Elizabeth 7 місяців тому +4

    • @surewing66
      @surewing66 7 місяців тому +2

      It’s not the case. I never activate my handmade watercolors. I find good results with L’oeil watercolors. I just dip some water and the colors come off very easily. I think it depends on how much pigment they use and the binder. If the binder is bad, no matter how well you mull, the colors will not come off.

    I saw the yellow of the house and knew it was Lilo and Nani's house. For someone who doesn't use watercolors often the picture turned out beautifully. As for the set, not the most accessible price upfront, but it looks like it would be a good investment overall.

  • @elizabeth5987
    @elizabeth5987 7 місяців тому +396

    The big problems with this set can be found in the sentence "I used only three main pigments (red yellow blue) and black white pigments."
    1. Watercolor artists generally look for single-pigment paints; they can mix them together themselves. Technically, this whole set is no more useful than buying 5 single-pigment paints and mixing them yourself when you need a color (if we ignore the sparkly/special-effect colors).
    2. It looks like a lot of the paints contain white so that they'll be pastel. White should generally not be added to a watercolor paint, because you can make any color lighter by just diluting it more.
    3. "red yellow blue" aren't pigments. Pigments are things like PB28 (Cobalt Blue) or PV23 (Winsor Violet).
    4. There is no lightfastness information. If the "red" pigment here is PR83 (Alizarin Crimson), for example, none of the paints containing red (so, at least half the paints) will be lightfast, which means they'll fade after exposure to light.
    If I wanted to spend $300-600 on watercolors, I'd buy artist-grade paints made with only one known pigment, not a mixture of three unknown pigments.

    • @toadfairy
      @toadfairy 6 місяців тому +54

      I was planning on writing that myself, but you put it in words really well, I would also mention that handmade watercolor can smudge off like an eyeshadow if it's particulary chalky (I encountered that with a cadmium paint, which is poisonous in a dust form🙃) and also the fact that if you try mixing these shades you won't get clean colors, for example: instead of blue and yellow giving green you'll probably get somethig that looks like swamp water.

    • @toadfairy
      @toadfairy 6 місяців тому +41

      Also, an important thing that I forgot to mention is that the primary colors (basic colors for mixing) are not red, blue and yellow, they can't give you the full color spectrum! The actual primary colors are singlepigmented cyan, magenta and yellow, colors obtained from these are much more clean and vibrant.

      @zebraloverbridget 5 місяців тому +11

      @@zoebrooke5650 While you can mix two pigments to make another (so red and yellow to make orange,, etcc.) You wouldn't want to buy a paint made like that. Instead you want one made with a specific orange, green, purple, etc... pigment. You get much more range that way since you then have more pigments to work with to get the colors you want.
      A specific green pigment WILL look so much different from a green made by mixing a yellow and blue pigment. Depending on what you want and painting style this is very annoying because no matter what you do you'll never get that same green without the right pigment. The difference can be drastic or very subtle but either way it annoys me to not have that right pigment
      There are some exceptions where you might buy a paint made up of multiple pigments for the convenience if that mix is something you'll use a lot of. When I buy acrylics I always check the pigments listed on the paint. If it is made up of colors I already have then I just take a photo of the pigment list + paint color and make it myself.
      Rarely, the mixed pigment color will include a pigment I don't have and that isn't available to buy at the store. For those I just buy the mixed stuff because if I order paint online I always end up buying more paint than I planed to get since there are so many options you can't find in physical stores

    As someone who has a number of handmade watercolors from different people I've paid $5-11 per pan. So I think this is probably a really good deal if the quality is good!

    Very normal for watercolours to be wrapped this way to protect them for shipping. One thing with handmade paints specifically is that you want to spray them with water or add some water and let it sit before using the pigment, that will help with the payout of colour. Certain pigments will need this regardless but handmade paints in general need a bit more coaxing that way :)
    I would guess maybe half the colours are lightfast, these do look professional quality. This is not a bad price at ALL for handmade paints.

    So, a few quick answers/notes for you (or anyone reading this) from someone who uses watercolor! First, they're individually numbered for the same reason copics are - you can order a single pan of color when they run out! Makes life a lot easier if you use one color a lot more than the others! Other people have already said this, but putting water on the colors you're going to use with an eye dropper (or a spray bottle if you're using all of them) will help activate them so that when you go in with a wet brush you get more pigment. And, lastly, let the glitter/metallic ones soak a little longer, and use them on a colored paper (grey, tan, or preferably black). While they should look shiny on any surface, they really stand out better against darker colors! Soo excited that you got this from a small business, it's so cute and I hope you'll experiment with it more!!

    the colors look very chalky, definitely something I wouldn't want in my watercolors. Can't tell from the video, but it seems that they'll crumble into pieces and will not dissolve in water. I do like the idea of glitter coat over the painting, I usually stay away from glitter and metallic watercolors, but really want to try, looks fun.

    They are actually quite affordable for handmade watercolours though it is obviously a strain on the wallet. My most precious watercolours are handmade with good lightfasteness but they did cost me an arm and a leg (i.e. 345 euro/ 364 usd for a set of 48 half pans) ... Just as a hint for them (although you may have received it already), especially for sparkly/glittery watercolours, most of the times you have to activate them. This means adding a drop of water or spraying them and waiting anywhere between 1 to 5 mins before using them. You normally don't have to activate regular, non-glittery watercolours, though there may be exceptions, depending on the pigment and binder used in making them. Nevertheless, rule of the thumb is that when you feel a colour is does not seem to contain a lot of pigment, try activating it and check if it behaves differently.

    What a gorgeous set of colours! And their box was as well. Breaking down the price the way you did shows that it's actually quite good value for what you get, as you rightfully said. Would this make you want to carry on with watercolours and experiment more with them? I used watercolour for my Sixth Form A-Level exam piece and you can get some really lovely tiny details with them, subtle shadows and just a great effect that you might not get with guache, oils or any other media.

    Hi Chloe, First of all great video as always. I think however that you didn't entirely do the handmade watercolours justice. I've bought a set from the same etsy seller and even though its a smaller set , they perform amazing. Seeing as you are not a watercolour artist i thought i jump into the comment section to give you a tip. Spraying the paint with water about 3 minutes before using hem and then again when you start painting and you will find picking up the pigment will go so much easier. I hope you will enjoy this amazing set of watercolours.

    Hello!! I think that good paper would help too. 100 % cotton, cold pressed, 300gsm is great for watercolor. It allows the paint to spread beautifully and does not dry immediately, so you can work in it longer

    @sablemoreno5095 7 місяців тому

    Welcome to the watercolor side 😊 its my main medium and it can be so much fun at times.
    Many already said, but spray bottle or a dropper to activate paints will take you far.
    Also, if you can try checking out if they have the pigment info listed anywhere. Thatll help if youre tryingnto mix certain colors- artists like Dr Oto and Denise Soden here go into pigment mixes and info so thst can help, since the strength of pigment will greatly affect mixtures.
    Making art supplies has been an interest of mine for awhile, so its always great seeing artists try out people's handmade products

    I think it's an interesting Set for a certain niche audience of artists.
    It is a comfort palette with the large number of colours, and they only contain a few different pigments,
    It's easier to make colour-harmonious pictures with it than with several colours that are single pigment colours.
    I have the habit of picking out only a few colours for a painting and mixing many different ones with them.
    Depending on what is preferred, whether many colours with many different pigments or many from a few mixed with only three pigments plus white and black.

    Oh, that looks amazing! I did this myself with my own bought pans. I took an empty carrier, measured the inside and made sure I had cardboard of that size. Then I used double sided tape (just strips) to paste the pans on. That way, you can easily remove them and you don't ruin the case. Downside: the tape sometimes lets go :P Must have been old tape.

    Hullo Chloe, Your such an amazing person and Artist! This is a wonderful collection and not knowing pigment information would be my biggest concern. I would have set it up in more color families. Because this type of palette you will have bleed-over between color pans. You will need to pre-wet the shimmer and glittery paints if you want to get the most out of them.
    I would love to see you watercolor some of your Arthur the Bear pictures! Just bring them from your book and paint away!
    Well I am sure you have plenty of video ideas in the Que, I just wanted to say it out loud!

    Homemade watercolours are so much fun. I've made them out of all sorts of things. In order to tell whether or not something is lightfast (without a time machine. LOL) you need to know the pigments that were used. Neon colours are very fugitive, but So. Much. Fun.

    I've bought etsy small producer watercolor paints before. Honestly i prefer knowing the pigments used, the lightfastness rating, and the consistency (meaning the paint will be the same between batches) of artist quality paints. And though it may seem like a good deal for 300+ colors, many artists keep a small handful of pigments on their palette because we know with certainty what mixing the colors will do (goes back to knowing the pigments in the paints). Don't get me wrong, playing around with paints is super fun, but its expensive to do so.

    • @ghoulchan7525

      same here. it's nice to know what goes into the paint. i did buy a mini set of 3 on etsy i'm sure is a pigment blend of whatever, but i love using them to make soft skin tones, but it seems the shop i bought it from reworked the colors so now once i run out of these i'm probably not buying the new version. maybe i should ask someone who knows a ton about pigments to see if they can dupe em.
      i now only really buy from the shops that list what pigments are used.
      Chloe is set for a long time now though XD.

    I spent $165 in this ladies shop on individual half pans and only 8ish out of over 25+ of them actually worked. The rest of them couldn’t be activated no matter what I did. I tried scraping the top off in case there was something on it. I even tried using it facedown in water the actual half pan and barely got anything but crumbly pigment like it was a cheap pastel.
    I will not write a negative review however because I think she’s still perfecting her craft and her colour range is beautiful and well priced if they actually worked. And the few that I did have, I had to get rid of two or three because when you touch them after they had completely dried, they were dusty and came off on my hands like chalk. I was very disappointed, but I did get a partial refund.

      I'm kind of a collector of handmade watercolor so I have a few of this maker's paints as well. The ones I got were like mini pan samples and while most worked (the glitter ones are hard to activate), they almost remind me of like...makeup. But like you, I wouldn't want to be negative about a handmade maker because it's a lot of work and they weren't awful, just not as great as others I've got.
