I know I’m late coming to this video but I just want to say that I love the UA-cam art community. You guys all name drop each other which likely really increases their views and I just love it lol. Such a great “family” to have
Oto's unboxing was out of this world... all the colours... sigh. This one seems promising too but i just started watching. But i spotted Roman Szmal...
"Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me." Chills everytime. I think I have to watch it again ♥

So nice to see this posted! We do miss your videos, and I’m glad you are feeling OK enough to do one. PR19 is Arylide Maroon. Funny, I just saw it the first time today on another video. I thought it was a misprint of PV19 at first, but it’s a real thing. Developed by DuPont, probably from their inks/specialty colors business. Holbein is using it in a couple of their watercolors, I’ve ordered a dot card so I can test it out.
Hi Denise! I love your Jackson's Haul and thank you as well for including my Isaro review at the description box. Have a great painting week ahead! 🎨🙏🥰
Thanks for sharing Denise! Shiney! White Nights was my second professional watercolor investment (Winsor&Newton were 1st). I really like how vibrant the colors are even with a high water to pigment ratio. They layer oh so well and very rarely become muddy in the layers. Some pigments are granulating, not as richly as Daniel Smith's, but subtle and lovely. I like to use them as a glaze wash over denser pigment. It's fun to watch an unboxing, and I appreciate the cautionary reminder - I would spend my rent money on paints.
White Nights PBk8 Black is named after a Russian city Voronezh (-skaya means affiliation like 's in Payne's gray). Just in case you would find this interesting.
Oooooooo this makes me so excited for your dedicated videos on the Schmincke super granulating and Isaro paints!! I’m trying my hardest to not immediately go out and purchase new supplies now! Thank you for also sharing in the fun and love that comes with getting new materials like the organization, the labeling, the swatching. Traditional artists are always problem solving pieces and I felt that energy with the White Nights palette and organizing your pans. Wonderful video, Denise!!
Thanks Denise. Good to hear from you. I like hauls. And your swatching is always so helpful. FedEx has been rough lately. If I order from Amazon I order as a gift so I get a box inside another box. That way only one layer of box is trashed and my order is protected. We reuse the boxes for toy storage, craft projects, mailings, guinea pig tunnels, kindling etc. I just got the DS Jean Haines 10 color set for my birthday and it's loads of fun and can mix tons of granulation colors. Now I want to make bread. Thanks Denise. Just what I need; simple carbs and a stick of butter.😎
Love the video. Keep that White Nights Indigo for yourself. It's one of my favorites. It dries lighter than you think but when you layer, it's beautiful.
Yes, I was one of the ones that voted YES, I love art supply unboxing videos, thanks for sharing, I live vicariously through others, saving up for my big haul. I was going to do a Jackson's haul but then I saw the shipping fees and was like :'( so I'll just watch this one and enjoy
Love this! I just ordered from Jackson’s yesterday because of the schminke sale. I splurged and got the Forest Boxed set. I loved the glacier series and they granulate beautifully. Thankfully I used DHL and now that I watched this I am relieved I did. Thank you for all your helpful videos.
Yay, haul! It always makes my day when you upload a video 😁 Right before you pulled out the plastic palette I thought you might have gotten one of those lavender/lilac White Nights metal palettes. Those are pretty high on my list...
They are awesome! But they do fit 7 White Night pans in a row, specially. I tried with Roman Szmal pans and the top and bottom row only fit 6 pans plus a hal pan - the rounded corners on the tray get in the way. :)
Don’t concern yourself with improv presentations. It makes me feel like I’m chatting with a friend. Lots of interesting information and the colors are enchanting. Granulation is the business! 💖
I knew you would fall for Schminke's supergranulating colors, it was only a matter of time, lol! Edit: regarding the White Nights, it seems they change the pigments for the same hue from time to time, maybe for improving their lightfastness. My old palette has quite a number of hues which are now formulated in a different way.
Great Haul! Happy Painting! I just ordered some replacement colors (DS). Thats good news for me since that means I like and use those colors. Did purchase one new color in this new order: Verona Ochre.....looks pretty and looking forward to trying it. thank you Denise for sharing your new supplies. Its like getting boxes of new chocolates!
Thanks again Denise! As always I appreciate your compassion for the working painter, mentioning price ranges and not feeling a sense of obligation to try everything🤗 I've learned sooo much about pigments, chemical composition, comparing, what to look for (safer is better) and swatching! (I have a little of that mad scientist gene too) so enjoy seeing how you compose a pallette! God bless you! Thanks again
Hey Denise! Thanks for another great video, I especially appreciate your haul disclaimer. I just took a pocket knife to those pesky little tabs in the white nights palette. It might be a little spoon depleting, but you could just do a couple at a time. Or I don’t think it’s an unreasonable favor to ask someone close to you, a decent knife shaves them down without much trouble
The Schmincke Super Granulating paints are lovely but 99% certainty you'll not need all of them. Many can be mixed with what's on hand. These look lovely 👍looking forward to seeing what you make of them
The pans absolutely fall out of the White Knights palette. Even if you store it flat, they are loose enough that they sometime pop out just opening it. I used to stick a tiny bit of wall tak ( it’s a bit stickier than kneaded erasers, and I have it on hand because my kids love to rearrange stuff on their walls constantly) on the bottom of the pans to keep them in place. I do really like that the mixing tray is removable though. I ended up moving the paints to one of Studio of M.M.’s palette towers because it fits on my desk better. I can send you a pic on Instagram if you want or she has a channel here with the same name if you want to look yourself.
Roman Szmal is my favorite! I have been using it since it was first offered from Jackson’s. I really hope you ordered Isaro Indigo. It is made with a brown instead of black, so it is unique, it gives it a softer blue.
It was wonderful to watch the unboxing and as a collage artist, I was really lusting after that packaging paper. I may have to place an order just to get that, and maybe some more Roman Szmal colors.
I work in a warehouse and receive boxes every day and I have to say that FedEx and UPS Ground services treat the packages equally, but in the past UPS was the most difficult to file a claim with because they like to fight it, while FedEx will make the claim process as easy as possible and have great customer service. It seems like UPS and FedEx take better care of the Express packages because that is where they make the most money. I have never had a pleasant customer service experience with USPS in regards to filing a claim, their typical response was "well, it was delivered, so it's no longer our problem" after they either lost a package or delivered it to the wrong address.
Hi Denise! The new Winser & Newton bright orange called Transparent Orange is "PO107." The pan I bought several months ago has the pigment number right on the pan. I double checked Dick Blick's listing and the pigment number is the same there also. Its also listed on Jane Blundell's website. Loved the haul!!!!
I love your live recorded videos Imho, Denise, you're one of the best on UA-cam and I enjoy your pleasant voice, candor, content, expertise, and effort.
@@InLiquidColor☺️🤎 Which episode is your favourite? Mine would have to be Our Mrs. Reynolds; it's just incredibly funny and the chemistry amongst all the characters was spot on (not that the chemistry was ever off in that show).
@@InLiquidColor Both incredible episodes, it's just really sad what Fox did to the series before it even got a chance to really get going. I can only image if Firefly had gone on season wise like Buffy did
Thank You so much for showing this! I have an empty White Nights pallet that is just sitting there because I could not fit regular full pans in them. Hubby is in the process of fixing that problem for me!! 😁😁 I have been thinking about trying the Super Granulating Schmincke also, I will be looking forward to your swatches and first impressions before I actually bite the bullet. I am currently waiting on a shipment from Jacksons for my first try at some Roman Szmal paints (6 to be exact) and a couple of Khadi 100% cotton rag sketchbooks. A few of the RS paints that I would have liked were also out of stock. I have missed you so much and get so excited when I see your videos pop up! I'm glad that you're doing well and look forward to more videos! 🥰🥰
Thank you Cajun! It's good to still see you in the comments! If you haven't already seen then, Oto Kano, Alice Lim, and Kimberly Crick all have amazing resources on the Schmincke SG colors. Links are in the description! But I'll try to get out a video as soon as I am able.
Hi Denise, thank you for the video! It's great to see/hear you again :-) Regarding the White Nights palette, they do sell it separately. It's not super easy to find, even in Europe. But in theory, it's an option. However, the White Nights full pans are ever so slightly narrower and as you saw, no other pans will fit inside their palette. Unless you are up for some tinkering :) I used sanded paper - I just rubbed regular-sized pans against sanded paper to shave off a millimeter. It doesn't take that much effort and afterward everything fits perfectly :-)
Thanks Kuba! Nice to see you in the comments again as well. I had seen other artists buy the palette separately, but since I was using affiliate money for this order, I had to stick with what Jacksons offered. In the long run, I'm sure everything will work out :)
i love watching your channel. you're so informative and knowledgeable about watercolors. i come to your channel for all reviews. granted i am a novice right now but you give me inspiration to one day be as talented as you and be able to produce such quality pieces of work.
Some of those Super Granulating colours look real gorgeous, but damn 12 Euros per tube still feels like A HECK LOAD of money (yes, I know, artist grade watercolours are costly, but still...) so I went with getting some more of the regulars. French Ultramarine and Potters Pink are already in my palette, but I also ordered that Mahogany and Manganese Violet to create some of those gorgeous super granulating colours myself :)
Remember that every single one of the supergranulating colors is a convenience mix! At least one of them uses Potter's Pink, so go ahead and experiment with that color.
@@RamoArt That's the exact reason I got the regular ones to dabble with instead 😉 Convinience is good and all, but with the regular colours, I'll be more versatile in the long run. Seeing that some of those super granulating ones usually got two sometimes even three different colours in them, I'll have at least three different colours at my disposal 🥰 I mean, it's not as if I'm uncomfortable with mixing, rather the opposite as the more inexpensive opaque water colours and mixing with them is how colour theory is taught here in Germany 😁
Every order of White Nights I've received, whether single or in a set, has had dusty bits on the top of most the colors. I just clean them off before using. I've seen other people comment the same.
This video soo caters to my art supply addiction, living through your purchases, i have a thing of buying supplys and not alwaus using them or using them once intending to use again 😂😂😂
I love how they package things, the peanuts stuffed into the palette is so cute. Jackson’s is good for all paper and card, and they all like to put tubes and pastels in the boxes of three that they get them, bit confusing when you sometimes see the wrong colour label cos they’re re-using them. Ah, the fusion palettes, love them. Also that Schmincke light green-blue. I put my Roman Szmal pans in a cheap Jackson’s palette and they fit fine, big enough they can even fall out.
Glad to see you back on YT for all of us obsessed with pigments and swatching (literally watching paint dry). Your unboxing led me to a frivolous purchase as well. I've been enamored with these Schmincke super granulating sets since they came out. But so expensive. Just went to Jackson's and saw that these are now available in 5ml sets as anniversary editions. Needless to say, since I also suffer from full set syndrome", in my cart they went now on the way to the US via DHL Thanks for pushing me over the edge on these Denise (I think, 😋$$$)
For the Roman Szmal full pans, here’s an easy way to get something like the White Nights palette. I use a Mijello 33 well Fusion palette. I’ve taken all the trays out (including the well insert), then use bluetack to stick the full pans to the palette. I love the flexibility so much I’m gradually switching all my paints to this arrangement. So far, the bluetack is holding well.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this tip! I’ve been trying to find a storage solution for these pans and hoping RS would come out with something. This is probably a much more affordable option...
I recently got a Rubens palette on Amazon US that is quite similar to your Mjello palette, except it has HUGE pans that can easily fit a 2" hake brush. In case anyone is looking for something like that!
This is such an amazing video, Denise!!! I've been binge-watching your videos as I find them so calming and relaxing 🥰I've also had a bad experience with a Jackson's order that was shipped through FedEx. At first, they said my address was incorrect even though all the details were right and when I contacted them they said they fixed everything. However, when I looked at the tracking they said it was still incorrect, this then went to the package being 'missing' and needing someone to investigate what happened to the package. I then found out that the package was damaged and a porcelain palette I ordered was broken. My order was refunded as Jackson's told me what had happened, I then reordered everything including the porcelain palette through normal tracked shipping and it came in perfect condition.
When talking about the watercolor pallette, there's a pallette that is a hybrid of the 16 wells like the blue one you have, but instead of the small mixing well in the middle, it has the metal clasps to put in half and full pans. In total, I can put in 51 colors and it all fits in that same size. I absolutely love it. It sells on Amazon by Bright Creations. I also think Irit Landgraf here on UA-cam sells them on her website. She's the one I discovered them through.
I used to think 5m tubes weren't enough but I have yet to finish a pan of my tube paint over 2 years and I paint on a regular basis. And it now makes sense why wc artists have so many tubes. To try all the colors/brands.
I really loved this, thank you for doing yet another amazing video! I have been loving your skill share classes too. I am so happy I found your channel and classes to help me in my watercolor journey!
Yay! New video :) So excited for the future videos! the way they opened/handled that box is weird. I’m not sure if it’s a similar case but when I buy stuff overseas, the freight forwarder/courier has to check if there are any items that are flammable or have a flammable/toxic/poison (?) symbol. They mostly do this for liquids and creams. This happens to me when I buy skincare and makeup. But they usually put the items back nicely. (I live in Asia, btw)
I have that palette from Winsor and newton…. It looks just like it…. It was my first watercolor palette ever! I like the design but the pans slide everywhere…. So that is why I decided to buy a different one. I’ve gone through so many set ups…. Right now I’m with a plate and dollops on the ceramic plate. Lol! I will find something someday!
my fav paint in my white nights set is from the pastel range and its the peach colour, did not know how i would use it but its great for loads of things, tfs
Just wanted to make a small correction as the super granulating line does also come in 5 ml tubes, however I’m not sure if it’s only available in Germany
Oh, I was So hoping you would try the White Nights PB15:3 and tell us what you think! I find it so bright! Not at all as pigmented as other phtalos but so, so beautiful! I got rid of my PB15:6 since their Ultramarine makes brighter mixes and really isn't particularly granulating! And I love their Naples Yellow Light, a PY216, it's beautiful 😍 Am looking forward to all the upcoming videos! What a delight!
And the Venice Purple is on par with W&N Perylene Maroon, but slightly more lightfast (in my four month test). And I meant their original PB29, not the deep in my previous comment ☺️
You should’ve bought the new metal tin set of white nights. The tin’s super pretty (but a little less functional- less mixing space) and the 35 set contains all absolutely lightfast pigments. Enjoyed the haul! Also white nights has updated some of the colours hence the pr19 Carmine and py43 raw sienna.
FedEx destroyed my parcel too! They literally stepped on it and did a poor job of taping it up and the box was open when it got to me!! I want to send a picture to you so you can see it!
What a mess! I'll definitely be going with DHL for the next order. I did NOT expect quick delivery given the state of the world, but DHL delivered to me in two days! I was shocked.
@@InLiquidColor I had DHL deliver a package in two days as well once. Ive had multiple packages from Jackson’s, and always choose dhl. Your video has made me decide to always choose dhl for Jackson’s orders.
I have had the exact same issues with FedEx , and specifically when it’s FedEx coming from Jackson’s. I had to deal with customs hold ups twice, and it took so much longer than when I order DHL. So now I always pick DHL shipping when I order from Jackson’s. And also, it is interesting that, I can pay the same price in shipping and get something from the UK via DHL within 3 or 4 days , but it takes Fed Ex 2 weeks to get something to me from Blick. (I’m in the U.S.) Of course, there are so many variables, and I don’t think FedEx is bad, but I have been interested to know why this is? Love the unboxing! Can’t wait to see what you think of Isaro! 💕🙌
Thank you for your videos. I was a wee bit surprised to see you getting more Roman Szmal...your review of the RS paints was the most helpful to me of the many RS reviews posted perhaps because, as beautiful as they are, the aspects of them that made them less than ideal for your style of painting are the problems that I have with them--they won't soften out, and one ends up with all kinds of unwanted hard edges if one doesn't paint to edge of paper etc.. Would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts about them if/as you continue to use them. Also would be very interested in hearing your thoughts about A. Gallo paints if those ever cross your path!
I kind of got over excited about the new granulating colors and may have forgotten how I initially felt about them ;) I'll blame it on my fibro fog brain. I'll keep y'all updated to see if I like them any better moving forward!
If you want a cool palete you should try the white nights tin palette! I bought mine off of etsy and got it in the mail a little over a month later. It fits around 36 full pans it is like the black palette but it is lavender and has 5 rows I instead of 4. They come in different sizes and can order a full set of just the tin.
I had a package come like that and had to call because 12 of 16 paints, Qor and Daniel Smith, were missing. That was not a good time as I ordered them for something specific and had to wait even longer to get them.
Jacksons watercolor sales were insane as succesful hahahaha! I'm also waiting for my purchases to arrive ;) The Etchr Sketchbooks are on sale now, also only the Schmincke watercolors... 🤯 It's good that you finally did not include the Golden and Violet colours from White Nights because they are fugitive. And yes, it¡s impossible to fit any other kind of pan or half pan in that palette, I have tried and your idea with the half pans is great actually :) Thanks for this video, it's like a visual brain orgasm, like asrm ;)
Just bought a bunch of paints from Jackson’s as my assistant (fancy word for care aide) accidentally tossed out my schmincke palette and a sketchbook ( the sketchbook hurt) and then wouldn’t you know it today they announced a sale... grrrrr, so I’m tempted to add the white nights as well now. Covid spending is hard!
Hola Denise! Can you please share your thoughts on the Renesans Polska handmade Polish Watercolors? I have a few of them and they are wonderful but would like to see what you do with them.... Hopefully!
i've not heard anyone talk about the granulation of the white nights mine are so granulating i got them 2 christmases ago so maybe the recipe is different

I just took a pocket knife to those pesky little tabs in the white nights palette. It might be a little spoon depleting, but you could just do a couple at a time. Or I don’t think it’s an unreasonable favor to ask someone close to you, a decent knife shaves them down without much trouble
The Schmincke Super Granulating paints are lovely but 99% certainty you'll not need all of them. Many can be mixed with what's on hand.
These look lovely 👍looking forward to seeing what you make of them
The pans absolutely fall out of the White Knights palette. Even if you store it flat, they are loose enough that they sometime pop out just opening it. I used to stick a tiny bit of wall tak ( it’s a bit stickier than kneaded erasers, and I have it on hand because my kids love to rearrange stuff on their walls constantly) on the bottom of the pans to keep them in place. I do really like that the mixing tray is removable though. I ended up moving the paints to one of Studio of M.M.’s palette towers because it fits on my desk better. I can send you a pic on Instagram if you want or she has a channel here with the same name if you want to look yourself.
Roman Szmal is my favorite! I have been using it since it was first offered from Jackson’s. I really hope you ordered Isaro Indigo. It is made with a brown instead of black, so it is unique, it gives it a softer blue.
I love unboxing videos!
It was wonderful to watch the unboxing and as a collage artist, I was really lusting after that packaging paper. I may have to place an order just to get that, and maybe some more Roman Szmal colors.
I LOVE Mahagoni Brown by Schmincke, it's soo beautiful and unique! It almost looks like a multi pigment paint sometimes, but it's not.
Perfect video for having my morning coffee ☕, I hope all is well with you sweetie
Heather
I love hauls! And thanks for still mentioning BLM & AAPI!
I work in a warehouse and receive boxes every day and I have to say that FedEx and UPS Ground services treat the packages equally, but in the past UPS was the most difficult to file a claim with because they like to fight it, while FedEx will make the claim process as easy as possible and have great customer service. It seems like UPS and FedEx take better care of the Express packages because that is where they make the most money. I have never had a pleasant customer service experience with USPS in regards to filing a claim, their typical response was "well, it was delivered, so it's no longer our problem" after they either lost a package or delivered it to the wrong address.
Thanks for the added information!
I love this. So we’ll done. It’s like a little movie.
Aw thanks so much!
Hi Denise! The new Winser & Newton bright orange called Transparent Orange is "PO107." The pan I bought several months ago has the pigment number right on the pan. I double checked Dick Blick's listing and the pigment number is the same there also. Its also listed on Jane Blundell's website. Loved the haul!!!!
Yes, my LE tube says PO107 but their full release of the color no longer has a pigment listing on it. Curious indeed!
A real joy to watch this!
I love your live recorded videos Imho, Denise, you're one of the best on UA-cam and I enjoy your pleasant voice, candor, content, expertise, and effort.
Thank you so much Liz! I really struggle since losing some cognitive sharpness over the years with my chronic health, so that means a lot!
Yessssss not only do I get a Denise video, she also brings the ASMR
Two by two, hands of blue. Internal Firefly fangirl squealing happened with that nice intro of yours, so thank you for that!!!
Always happy to run into a fellow Browncoat!
@@InLiquidColor☺️🤎 Which episode is your favourite? Mine would have to be Our Mrs. Reynolds; it's just incredibly funny and the chemistry amongst all the characters was spot on (not that the chemistry was ever off in that show).
@@crafty_j957 oh gosh that's such a hard question! Either Our Mrs. Reynolds or Out of Gas. Both amazing for very different reasons!
@@InLiquidColor Both incredible episodes, it's just really sad what Fox did to the series before it even got a chance to really get going. I can only image if Firefly had gone on season wise like Buffy did
Thank You so much for showing this! I have an empty White Nights pallet that is just sitting there because I could not fit regular full pans in them. Hubby is in the process of fixing that problem for me!! 😁😁 I have been thinking about trying the Super Granulating Schmincke also, I will be looking forward to your swatches and first impressions before I actually bite the bullet. I am currently waiting on a shipment from Jacksons for my first try at some Roman Szmal paints (6 to be exact) and a couple of Khadi 100% cotton rag sketchbooks. A few of the RS paints that I would have liked were also out of stock. I have missed you so much and get so excited when I see your videos pop up! I'm glad that you're doing well and look forward to more videos! 🥰🥰
Thank you Cajun! It's good to still see you in the comments! If you haven't already seen then, Oto Kano, Alice Lim, and Kimberly Crick all have amazing resources on the Schmincke SG colors. Links are in the description! But I'll try to get out a video as soon as I am able.
Hi Denise, thank you for the video! It's great to see/hear you again :-) Regarding the White Nights palette, they do sell it separately. It's not super easy to find, even in Europe. But in theory, it's an option. However, the White Nights full pans are ever so slightly narrower and as you saw, no other pans will fit inside their palette. Unless you are up for some tinkering :) I used sanded paper - I just rubbed regular-sized pans against sanded paper to shave off a millimeter. It doesn't take that much effort and afterward everything fits perfectly :-)
Thanks Kuba! Nice to see you in the comments again as well. I had seen other artists buy the palette separately, but since I was using affiliate money for this order, I had to stick with what Jacksons offered. In the long run, I'm sure everything will work out :)
This was really fun, thanks for bringing us along!
i love watching your channel. you're so informative and knowledgeable about watercolors. i come to your channel for all reviews. granted i am a novice right now but you give me inspiration to one day be as talented as you and be able to produce such quality pieces of work.
Some of those Super Granulating colours look real gorgeous, but damn 12 Euros per tube still feels like A HECK LOAD of money (yes, I know, artist grade watercolours are costly, but still...) so I went with getting some more of the regulars. French Ultramarine and Potters Pink are already in my palette, but I also ordered that Mahogany and Manganese Violet to create some of those gorgeous super granulating colours myself :)
Remember that every single one of the supergranulating colors is a convenience mix! At least one of them uses Potter's Pink, so go ahead and experiment with that color.
@@RamoArt That's the exact reason I got the regular ones to dabble with instead 😉 Convinience is good and all, but with the regular colours, I'll be more versatile in the long run. Seeing that some of those super granulating ones usually got two sometimes even three different colours in them, I'll have at least three different colours at my disposal 🥰 I mean, it's not as if I'm uncomfortable with mixing, rather the opposite as the more inexpensive opaque water colours and mixing with them is how colour theory is taught here in Germany 😁
Every order of White Nights I've received, whether single or in a set, has had dusty bits on the top of most the colors. I just clean them off before using. I've seen other people comment the same.
This video soo caters to my art supply addiction, living through your purchases, i have a thing of buying supplys and not alwaus using them or using them once intending to use again 😂😂😂
I love how they package things, the peanuts stuffed into the palette is so cute. Jackson’s is good for all paper and card, and they all like to put tubes and pastels in the boxes of three that they get them, bit confusing when you sometimes see the wrong colour label cos they’re re-using them. Ah, the fusion palettes, love them. Also that Schmincke light green-blue. I put my Roman Szmal pans in a cheap Jackson’s palette and they fit fine, big enough they can even fall out.
I have missed your voice 🥺 thank you for another great video. Instantly relaxed by your channel and I LOVE an unboxing! ♥️xx
Glad to see you back on YT for all of us obsessed with pigments and swatching (literally watching paint dry). Your unboxing led me to a frivolous purchase as well. I've been enamored with these Schmincke super granulating sets since they came out. But so expensive. Just went to Jackson's and saw that these are now available in 5ml sets as anniversary editions. Needless to say, since I also suffer from full set syndrome", in my cart they went now on the way to the US via DHL Thanks for pushing me over the edge on these Denise (I think, 😋$$$)
Haha sorry to be that extra nudge but I hope you enjoy them! That's exciting to hear about the smaller size!
For the Roman Szmal full pans, here’s an easy way to get something like the White Nights palette. I use a Mijello 33 well Fusion palette. I’ve taken all the trays out (including the well insert), then use bluetack to stick the full pans to the palette. I love the flexibility so much I’m gradually switching all my paints to this arrangement. So far, the bluetack is holding well.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for this tip! I’ve been trying to find a storage solution for these pans and hoping RS would come out with something. This is probably a much more affordable option...
Still waiting for your m graham gouache review 👀 love hauls! This one was satisfying ☺️
It's coming! Been working on it for the past week. More practice is needed before I can give you my informed thoughts :)
Love unboxing videos... Helps make me aware of products... Unfortunately, very dangerous for my pocketbook... LOL
I am so happy to see you unbox using gloves because I do the same and then sanitize everything 😆
Love Firefly!
I recently got a Rubens palette on Amazon US that is quite similar to your Mjello palette, except it has HUGE pans that can easily fit a 2" hake brush. In case anyone is looking for something like that!
Thanks for letting everyone know!
This is such an amazing video, Denise!!! I've been binge-watching your videos as I find them so calming and relaxing 🥰I've also had a bad experience with a Jackson's order that was shipped through FedEx. At first, they said my address was incorrect even though all the details were right and when I contacted them they said they fixed everything. However, when I looked at the tracking they said it was still incorrect, this then went to the package being 'missing' and needing someone to investigate what happened to the package. I then found out that the package was damaged and a porcelain palette I ordered was broken. My order was refunded as Jackson's told me what had happened, I then reordered everything including the porcelain palette through normal tracked shipping and it came in perfect condition.
You killed me with the blue gloves!!! *shiver* scary!
I just bought a bunch of Schmincke from Jackson's too, and now they are on sale, darn!
They're on sale till mid May.
Shucks!
i adored thi video, thank you Denise for sharing with us all these goodies
When talking about the watercolor pallette, there's a pallette that is a hybrid of the 16 wells like the blue one you have, but instead of the small mixing well in the middle, it has the metal clasps to put in half and full pans. In total, I can put in 51 colors and it all fits in that same size. I absolutely love it. It sells on Amazon by Bright Creations. I also think Irit Landgraf here on UA-cam sells them on her website. She's the one I discovered them through.
I used to think 5m tubes weren't enough but I have yet to finish a pan of my tube paint over 2 years and I paint on a regular basis. And it now makes sense why wc artists have so many tubes. To try all the colors/brands.
I hear you there! I was just remarking on how I haven't used up some 5ml tubes I got four years ago!
This is amazing! Everytime I use watercolors, things get out of hand :D
I really loved this, thank you for doing yet another amazing video! I have been loving your skill share classes too. I am so happy I found your channel and classes to help me in my watercolor journey!
Seeing my stickers in another video of yours really just MADE MY DAY! :D Also I love these chill videos, such nice company!
Love your stickers! :D Happy to have them around. Thank you, Ellen!
Your stickers are beautiful Ellen they adorn in several places around my room and palettes
@@mikeyfinger8026 Aww, thank you! :D
Yay! New video :) So excited for the future videos!
the way they opened/handled that box is weird. I’m not sure if it’s a similar case but when I buy stuff overseas, the freight forwarder/courier has to check if there are any items that are flammable or have a flammable/toxic/poison (?) symbol. They mostly do this for liquids and creams. This happens to me when I buy skincare and makeup. But they usually put the items back nicely. (I live in Asia, btw)
I have that palette from Winsor and newton…. It looks just like it…. It was my first watercolor palette ever! I like the design but the pans slide everywhere…. So that is why I decided to buy a different one. I’ve gone through so many set ups…. Right now I’m with a plate and dollops on the ceramic plate. Lol! I will find something someday!
Just and FYI... Jackson's just started selling the Schminke Granulating colors in smaller 5ml sets for around $38.
Oooo that's exciting to know!
My experience with DHL and FEDEX was just the opposite. FedEx arrived very quickly and in great shape.
I finally got that White Nights palette as well, only I got it empty.
This video is gonna be awesome! Love ya Denise
look at those! what a treat.
Absolutely awesome!!😃
my fav paint in my white nights set is from the pastel range and its the peach colour, did not know how i would use it but its great for loads of things, tfs
Just wanted to make a small correction as the super granulating line does also come in 5 ml tubes, however I’m not sure if it’s only available in Germany
Oh, I was So hoping you would try the White Nights PB15:3 and tell us what you think! I find it so bright! Not at all as pigmented as other phtalos but so, so beautiful! I got rid of my PB15:6 since their Ultramarine makes brighter mixes and really isn't particularly granulating! And I love their Naples Yellow Light, a PY216, it's beautiful 😍 Am looking forward to all the upcoming videos! What a delight!
And the Venice Purple is on par with W&N Perylene Maroon, but slightly more lightfast (in my four month test). And I meant their original PB29, not the deep in my previous comment ☺️
You should’ve bought the new metal tin set of white nights. The tin’s super pretty (but a little less functional- less mixing space) and the 35 set contains all absolutely lightfast pigments. Enjoyed the haul!
Also white nights has updated some of the colours hence the pr19 Carmine and py43 raw sienna.
I have that new tin and it's such a well made and beautifully colored palette. And you can fit 35 white Nights pans and 5 half pans. I've tested.
FedEx destroyed my parcel too! They literally stepped on it and did a poor job of taping it up and the box was open when it got to me!! I want to send a picture to you so you can see it!
I’ve had fedex refuse to give my packages to me before so I always choose dhl on jackson’s.
What a mess! I'll definitely be going with DHL for the next order. I did NOT expect quick delivery given the state of the world, but DHL delivered to me in two days! I was shocked.
@@InLiquidColor I had DHL deliver a package in two days as well once. Ive had multiple packages from Jackson’s, and always choose dhl. Your video has made me decide to always choose dhl for Jackson’s orders.
I have had the exact same issues with FedEx , and specifically when it’s FedEx coming from Jackson’s. I had to deal with customs hold ups twice, and it took so much longer than when I order DHL. So now I always pick DHL shipping when I order from Jackson’s. And also, it is interesting that, I can pay the same price in shipping and get something from the UK via DHL within 3 or 4 days , but it takes Fed Ex 2 weeks to get something to me from Blick. (I’m in the U.S.)
Of course, there are so many variables, and I don’t think FedEx is bad, but I have been interested to know why this is?
Love the unboxing! Can’t wait to see what you think of Isaro! 💕🙌
Thank you for your videos. I was a wee bit surprised to see you getting more Roman Szmal...your review of the RS paints was the most helpful to me of the many RS reviews posted perhaps because, as beautiful as they are, the aspects of them that made them less than ideal for your style of painting are the problems that I have with them--they won't soften out, and one ends up with all kinds of unwanted hard edges if one doesn't paint to edge of paper etc.. Would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts about them if/as you continue to use them. Also would be very interested in hearing your thoughts about A. Gallo paints if those ever cross your path!
I kind of got over excited about the new granulating colors and may have forgotten how I initially felt about them ;) I'll blame it on my fibro fog brain. I'll keep y'all updated to see if I like them any better moving forward!
White powder is there to prevent paints from sticking to the foil afaik
Firefly!!!!!!!!!
This is amazing! An obscure pigment you should try out is py128 in van gogh's watercolor range.
Denise, when you were swatching the White Nights palette card, what brush were you using (~40:54)?
If you want a cool palete you should try the white nights tin palette! I bought mine off of etsy and got it in the mail a little over a month later. It fits around 36 full pans it is like the black palette but it is lavender and has 5 rows I instead of 4. They come in different sizes and can order a full set of just the tin.
I believe Jackson's carries this now as well.
I had a package come like that and had to call because 12 of 16 paints, Qor and Daniel Smith, were missing. That was not a good time as I ordered them for something specific and had to wait even longer to get them.
Jacksons watercolor sales were insane as succesful hahahaha! I'm also waiting for my purchases to arrive ;) The Etchr Sketchbooks are on sale now, also only the Schmincke watercolors... 🤯 It's good that you finally did not include the Golden and Violet colours from White Nights because they are fugitive. And yes, it¡s impossible to fit any other kind of pan or half pan in that palette, I have tried and your idea with the half pans is great actually :) Thanks for this video, it's like a visual brain orgasm, like asrm ;)
Just bought a bunch of paints from Jackson’s as my assistant (fancy word for care aide) accidentally tossed out my schmincke palette and a sketchbook ( the sketchbook hurt) and then wouldn’t you know it today they announced a sale... grrrrr, so I’m tempted to add the white nights as well now. Covid spending is hard!
I'm so sorry Desdeny! That's so heartbreaking about the palette and sketchbook. I hope that you're able to make some new memories.
I had a bad experience with FedEx, they held it up in customs for over a month. DHL has always been great and worth the extra $5
Oof, I'm sorry to hear that!
Watch this video and then I get an e-mail from Jacksons reminding me of how many points I have 🤣😂
Loved this!
Delicious unboxing 😋
Hola Denise! Can you please share your thoughts on the Renesans Polska handmade Polish Watercolors? I have a few of them and they are wonderful but would like to see what you do with them.... Hopefully!
Hi Laura! I have some Renesans here in the "to be reviewed" pile, but haven't gotten to them yet. I will as soon as I can!
i've not heard anyone talk about the granulation of the white nights mine are so granulating i got them 2 christmases ago so maybe the recipe is different
