Grey might look more natural using colour wheel opposites. Your three reds - four if you count burnt sienna - will make lovely greys with your greens and the colours can vary naturally. Purple and new gamboge or purple and yellow ochre might be good too, and of course orange and blues. I'd use the black to make some dark colours as there is no Burnt Umber or Paynes Grey or Neutral. I'm investigating pastel colours with my white - a pale lavender highlight for example or straight out of the tube white highlights. The titanium White is so opaque it can be used as a gouache or as a mixer whereas ainsor and newton's Chinese white is more transparent and a better mixer. I think I would have put the whits on the bottom row so that the two blues could be.next to each other. This is a good winsor and newton basic set. I've added a few more colours to my set but I guess it depends on what subjects you paint to determine what else you might want.
i ordered the W&N professional- cant wait working with them. My first brand was Van Gogh- they are cheep here in austria so i started with them- they are not bad, good pigmented but only if mixed they can look a bit dirty. Next i bought White Nights but i choose all colours seperately and only in tubes- never in sets! Lightfastness is very important for me- dont give anything about 100 years lightfastness in a museum where is no daylight- i make my own tests on a south side window that makes more sense. Later i painted with D.Smith- a bit expensive here, but they work really nice. Mijello is very intens , economical in consumption and not toxic. Sennelier Artist Colours are one of my favorites also Holbein and Blockx. Thanks for your video:-)
I prefer them spaced since I'm so OCD about my colors accidently running in to each other. LOL! I love the Winser Blue Red shade since its the reddest phthalo blue of any brand I've found. Its hard to find a red leaning blue that's not granulating. Granulation can be nice bit not always wanted.
Hello, I have a question, do the watercolors not dry in the metal box? I think it is very practical to keep them there, but I thought they had to be in the tube for the best conservation.
This is the watercolor paper that I used to swatch on www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044SAXKQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=myartsupplyob-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0044SAXKQ&linkId=6259f9f2ebd87470e30afa2cf911843c
Beautiful colours.
There's something so satisfying about the sound of a paintbrush swishing in a glass jar 😊

All these paints like winsor and Newton , vanghogh are quite expensive here in India 😭 I would love to buy them

Very nice colours, i enjoy to work with them on pure cotton paper- they flow beautifully! Thanks for your video:-)
GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU. 💙🙏
I think you forgot to add the link where you bought your affordable watercolour paper!
I've added the link for the watercolor paper in the description for you. Thank you for letting me know. ☺
Those are really pretty paints.
It's a great basic color set. :)
Hello, I have a question, do the watercolors not dry in the metal box? I think it is very practical to keep them there, but I thought they had to be in the tube for the best conservation.
You can store them how you like. In the tube or in the pan. I like to keep mine in the pan. They dry down in the pan and easily reactivate.
oh so cool
I wonder, if you buy tubes, do you need pans?
No. You can use fresh from the tube when you paint. 😊
Where can I get the tin pans? Is there a specific one you recommend? Thank you if you reply!
Amazon has a bunch of empty palettes.
Please can you tell me What was the link for the watercolour paper you used.
This is the watercolor paper that I used to swatch on www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044SAXKQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=myartsupplyob-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0044SAXKQ&linkId=6259f9f2ebd87470e30afa2cf911843c
Do they dry like the already made pallets once you put it in like that?!
They dry then easily reactivate.
