Fantastic! Bravo! Merci! 🤗🤩🌞🍀👌🙏🇺🇦
ive enjoyed watching you paint before i go to sleep .i got so many paints and paper in 2020.i love what my art life has become.ive not made money butevery day i paint .i do watercolor and acrylic.i found plein air eric rhoads on you tube so many artists to learn from .you bring me joy thank you love gina from washington
I truly enjoyed paying the sunset lake landscape. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for showing us how.
Really pretty Lindsey... I love the sky🙂🇺🇸🙂
Beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial. Thanks to this and your review of the Camel artist watercolors, I bought them. Because they are so inexpensive, I think they'll be my new go-to set.
I enjoy watching you create a painting. It is so sweet to see such joy in painting. I see how often people forget that painting can be a joyous activity. Why bother doing something you dread or find it creates anxiety? I went to check out these paints not because I need more paint or that I am unhappy with my current palette choices, I was interested in the price and permanence of these paints. I did not see any real ratings or Blue wool testing. Now for $14.00 for 24 tubes of paint you cannot expect that they will be professional grade but this speaks to your attitude of carefree attitude of wasting expensive paint. I truly believe that good professional paint is not so expensive that you must avoid it to practice your paintings. I am glad to see you speak to everyone's budget and what I find acceptable others might not. I almost purchased the Art Whale tubes but as you spoke of price rising after your review it did happen to those paints! Thanks for continuing to produce such wonderful videos and follow along examples for artists of every level! Please take care and enjoy your evening!
Love the way you are so honest in your work.
I try
I really appreciate that you make painting accessible for everyone by finding affordable supplies. Looking forward to your review of these. The painting is beautiful, thanks Lindsay!
Thank you so much!
I absolutely LOVE these paint along/watercolor tutorials videos you make!!! I always get super excited when I see you've posted one!! Thanks for sharing💛💛
Thank you so much!
I love them too.
Very beautiful. Always a pleasure watching you paint. Thank you for sharing
My pleasure 😊
Who would’ve thought such cheap paints would react so well? And such a pretty landscape! Though I have to admit I was tempted to holler stop when it was just a stormy sky and it’s reflection - it was so pretty just as a sky study too!
Love the colours of blue and yellow next to each other in the sky without any green. So tempting to buy these paints.
I also love your watercolor videos! I learn so very much from your explanations! Thank you Lindsay.
It was fun to hear the excitement in your voice as you were painting with these watercolors.
Greatly appreciate your video tutorial Lindsay on your new watercolour paints , thanks for sharing your talent and explaining calmingly how to achieve good details. Thanks greatly appreciated stay safe.
Beautiful Lindsay!
This is very nice. Watercolors are my favorite! Thank You Lindsay 🤗
AND I can see the paper towelling being used in a journal! Thank you for fuelling my artistic journey!
I love watching you paint! thank you for sharing a beautiful landscape! I think that these paints look really good and they layer really well! I was so happy when I saw that you posted a video! Thank you so much for sharing your talents!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed watching you create. I need you for a teacher, lol. Well, I can watch you and learn. The paints look pretty good too.
This one is SOOO gorgeous! I love the colors you chose for it! You are quite talented, and I am so thankful for all you do to help us learn how to be better painters! You are the first watercolor artist I became interested in watching on UA-cam. That was four years ago! I have learned SO much from you! I am currently enrolled in two of your watercolor classes, and am enjoying them very much! You inspire me to keep painting! Thanks again!
Lindsay, I am from India. I learnt painting from you and always wanted you to try these paints. These are the paints that almost every artist use here in India. Thank you so much for reviewing these paints . Lots of Love 💗. God bless you
I love this video. I’m going to try painting this.
Love the watercolor tutorials. They are awesome.
I really like this. Thanks!
Just wanted to say i really really enjoy your videos. Sometimes i even watch techniques im not necessarily interested in....just to hear your joy, your positivity, your passion :). You are like Bob Ross to me. I am learning but i am also encouraged and motivated. Thank you for being you, for sharing your gift, your talent and your knowledge.
Aww, thanks!
OMG I love the painting! These are the paints I started my watercolor journey with 5 years back and this just brings back so many memories!

Thank you for another Great Masterpiece.🌹
Wow nice demo..wasnt expecting a Camel review on yr channel..they are the go-to brand here..So glad to see this! they are excellent value for money
Very pretty Lindsay!
Thanks 😊
Hi Lindsay, I really love your scenery paintings. So awesome. TFS your talent. Big Hugz 👍🏾💯❤️
I am from India and I exclusively use these watercolour paints if I am painting for myself! I only use expensive paints for their lightfastness when I have commission paintings! Camel paints are great to use! I wish they bled a little more...but I am more than happy to use these for practice and fun!
Love how this painting turned out, your watercolor videos are my favorite on your channel. Thanks so much for the inspiration Lindsay. 🥰
Omg I'm from India and I so badly wanted u to try camel watercolors thank u for using it .ur a great artist m going to try this painting . Please reply .I wud love it .
Thank u
Your skies are THE BEST, so much interest. I've followed along and painted a few and even mine turn out well. I like the Mimik brushes too. I got a bad one from the set I bought off Amazon and Jerry's made it right immediately. The paints are almost sold out, ha. You definitely have an influence.
I think messy edges are fun too. The effect makes it look like you splashed water on paper and it became a scene.
I am doing a lot of swatching with regards to my watercolours! AND I am admiring the paper towelling I have cleaned my brush off between the swatches of colour! What have I discovered! The metallic paints sit nicely on the other watercolours!
Gorgeous Lindsay. If I made an oops I wouldn't know how to fix it. The sky looked beautiful. TFS.
Watching you paint watercolors is so nostalgic for me. And I have to say, watching you is a big part of why I got so into watercolor painting myself.
I have paints that remind me of these. My mom got them for me from Amazon a few years ago. They're called Craft's 4 All. They absolutely reek. But the colors and quality are really surprising. No clue about pigments or light-fastness though. I use them more for stuff I'm going to scan and digitally reproduce.
Beautiful! You are amazing with that brush girl! ❤️
Ty for trying these. I've heard a few people ask about.
Also, tyvm for the cc. Not sure if it was intentional, but greatly appreciated.
Tfs.
Another lovely landscape! Can’t wait to try it this evening.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great painting! I love watercolor and hope to learn more in 2021. I just finished a painting in acrylics. Never again!! Lol! Have a great weekend. See you on Sat Chat!
Haha, a man after my own heart!
Just wanted to let you know that I ordered a small set of the Creative Mark Mimik brushes and I used them today for the first time. I love them! Thanks for the awesome recommendation!
I'm so glad!
Beautiful painting, Lindsay. These paints look amazing.
Thanks, Lindsay
Outstanding job young lady. Very peacful seen.
This is so beautiful!!! I’m definitely gonna give it a try😉
Thanks for this tutorial, I bought those brushes on your advice and I love them! I am so tempted to look for these paints but honestly I have more than I will ever use! The painting turned out lovely and I appreciate you showing mistakes and how they can be saved! Thanks for the inspiration to wet my brushes again!
Thank you for sharing! I am going to try painting this also! Beautiful job!
Wow that was amazing! Turned out beautiful!! ❤ I take way too long to paint mine!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ooh Lyndsay really like this one! Thanks for sharing this.
Weird that they have a chemical smell (my Arteza wood less watercolor pencils were like that) it’s fun to find inexpensive supplies that work well to experiment and play with, because you are right, when the supply isn’t as expensive we don’t seem to worry about using them up!
Not sure if you have seen it but the old AC Moore in Bangor is opening soon... and now we will have a Michael’s much closer to us than having to drive couple hours south! We had to make a trip to “the big city” 😉 today and I saw it and was excited that we would have something else available to this area.
Really!?! Do you know when? I was hoping the pandemic didnt change their plans. So exciting! I miss ac moore so bad!
@@thefrugalcrafter I missed them too. I am not sure of the official opening (couldn’t get the husband to veer over and check it out 😂) I was going to look it up and see if they had any grand opening type of info online. I am very excited not to have to go to Augusta now if I want to pick something up or if I actually wanted to go into a store to see something first hand vs just ordering online. Wish we could get a Blick or Jerry’s up our way but for now I will be happy just to have a choice again for local shopping.
Beautiful!!!
Believe me these paints not gonna fall out, even if you those that palette then also they wont come of :D :D I use Camel Artist Grade watercolor all them time. And also bought around 29 tubes. these works amazing on cotton paper.I know about them but i love to watch your reviews on paints. So looking forward of your reviews.
have seen several Indian watercolour artist use this brand and do some great paintings with them, I may have looked up a site that does the tubes open stock and would like to get some to try but I have so many paints i can not get any more.......... they are up and around the white nights paints if not about.... pro quality
I've been watching "Paint with David" UA-cam channel for quite some time. He does some beautiful paintings with these paints, usually with on 12 colors. His work is pretty amazing. In the past, the brand pretty much only available in India. Thanks for doing a review and letting us know these are now available on Amazon. And at such a reasonable price. Of course, after your video, there may be a sell out of the current stock. :-)
if they do they have other size sets. I hope they don't jack up the price.
Pretty
This is so beautiful!
One the day your video came out the price had dropped 5% to $17.00 US dollars. Beautiful colors and painting! Thanks for sharing :D
Oh wow! awesome, I paid $17.89 I think!
They paint up lovely, are they chalky at all? Have seen these here in NZ under $20 so thought they were kids paints (nice paint sets are over $50) himmm might need to get me one after seeing this. Thanks for trying them and you’ve painted a lovely picture with them, very vibrant colours don’t look washed out at all.
Not at all, they don't even crack dried out in pans! Very transparent. There is a strong smell when you squeese them out so I recommend filling your palette and setting it out to dry somewhere you won't be bothered by it because they don't seem to smell much when you rewet them. It is a plastic like chemical smell that some cheaper watercolors have. That's the only downside to these paints and there is not pigment info.
Beautiful 🤩
How do you like the folding plastic palette? I’m thinking of getting one for my watercolours but I’m worried that once dried the watercolours might fall out of the wells when I close the palate. Has that ever happened to you? I use Daniel smith and I don’t want to inadvertently ruin those expensive paints! Love all your videos too. Thanks for the great lessons!
Personally I don't love this style of palettes but you Daniel smith should be fine as it disnt crack. I can get these for $2 tho so they are handy for temporary palettes (for reviews where I give away the paint after) however if you can find a folding palette with the wella all on one side ot would be great. I had a pro art one that had more wells on one side than the other and I liked it a lot.
Been looking for good cheap paints.been watching for you to recommend one. Went to buy at Amazon.......sold out! Don’t know if they will get again go figure. Lol. My luck. Any other recommendations?
These are great, 36 half pans for $21 amzn.to/38R2j33
@@thefrugalcrafter thanks .I did get that Camel set on Amazon through another seller for the same 17 dollars.I hope the Camel set is as good as this other thanks again Lindsay won’t arrive till February ughhhh..... I will jump in then,can’t wait to learn.
Hey! So I recently bought a gouache set of jars, called Madisi gouache, I absolutely love it! I'd love to see your take on it!
Also, there's a prima dupe called Seamiart, is it any good?? I might just have to buy it and find out!
Prima paints are made by Mungyo. I think the semiart might be made by superior.
@@thefrugalcrafter oooh, I'd like to see them tested!
I think jay allen did a review and comparison of those. I'll see if I can link it... ua-cam.com/video/lMQul2g5JFE/v-deo.html
@@thefrugalcrafter oooh thank you!
Muito bom 😃
You are amazing. Please tell me which colored pencils you would recommend for coloring.
It depends what you want and your budget. I mostly use prismacolor.
pretty
I don’t have Naples yellow. Is it a yellow one should have on the palette?
If someone's looking for earthy tones, naples yellow is a great colour! I used to hate the colour yellow as a child but not anymore and the love for yellow was instilled by mr. Naples yellow 😂
It is a white mixed yellow, much more muted and creamy in nature, great to mix peaches and other earth tones!
You. An dilute yellow ocher with white to make naples
Thanks Lindsay. $17.00 today on Amazon 5 ml tubes. I think they monitor you though. Lol. Have you seen the fruit Raspberry oranges? It's an orange with a slight berry flavor in addition to orange. The outside skin is dull orange to brownish. The fruit is amazing! Orange that ombres into quin magenta then deep purple. Aldis had them this week. 🥰👍
no but it sounds yummy! We don't have Aldi's here sadly.
@@thefrugalcrafter I have never seen them before. The kids love them. I can't eat most fruit and veg but they will be amazing to paint. If I can grab one before they are all eaten. 😆
How many watercolour do you use?
Lots! There are many brands I enjoy:)
I’ve never painted before, and I followed along with this video. My husband said it wasn’t a bad first effort, but my tress are laughable. I’ll keep trying.
Good for you, keep painting!
This could be useful info, from Wetcanvas, www.wetcanvas.com/forums/topic/camlin-watercolours-artists-grade/
I've been looking into these paints for a long time. In Europe they are even more difficult to get. And yes, it's out of curiousity. Watercolourhoarder. And yes, I make the reflection: these paints should not become more expensive fore those who need them, instead for us who can afford to buy different brands of other paints. But I saw many Indian painters use them and make beautiful work with them, that's why I wanted to look deeper into them.
Who knows... their naples yellow is still naples yellow PY41 (as I bought some from a small UK company, last week)
I quote this from Wetcanvas from a person called Idraneel:
"The Camel ARTIST colors are mostly excellent. Many many famous Indian artists have used them for decades. The earth colors are definitely very good, better than Cheap Joes American Journey. I do not have any self tested information about lightfastness yet (and I have yet to register for the testing underway here). They rewet very well and there is no mold when colors are squeezed out (except for the ivory black). The pigment load is generally high, although getting strong blacks might sometimes be a problem. I have found them better than cotman (pans/tubes) or Sakura koi pans. At about $1 or less per 20ml, it provides the most bang by a huge margin.
Here is what I’ve used so far. My guess about pigments in parenthesis.

=====key====
Series (1,2)
Lightfast (A,B,C)
Transparent (T,D,O)
Staining (I,L,N)
=======
2BD lemon yellow (PY175?)
2BD permanent yellow deep (PY110?)
1AD raw sienna (transparent)/1AD yellow ochre
2BD permanent orange (PO62?) (less bright than cadmium orange)
1AD burnt Umber (reddish brown)
1AO burnt Sienna (beautiful orange red, excellent granulation)
1AO light red (semitransparent, excellent granulation)
2BD vermilion hue (PR209?) (excellent mixer with reds and blues)
2BT rose madder hue (PV19 Rose?)(mixes deep purple) /2BD carmine (PV19 Violet?) (mixes very deep purple) (neither stains much)
2BT ultramarine (pigment load not enough for rich darks, unless with light red)
2BDI cobalt blue hue (ultramarine light?, pigment load not enough)
2BOI cerulean blue hue (mildly granulating, moderately strong, mixes bright greens)
1BT Indian yellow (PO49?)
1AO Indian red (not too purple, granulating)
1AO raw umber (yellowish/greenish brown, gooey in the tube)
1AO ivory black (add honey to stop mold)
1AO Chinese white (not opaque)
2BT crimson lake (PR122?) (mixes light purple, difficult to get exact shade)
2BO scarlet lake (PR188?) (very intense orange red, ok mixer, staining)
1BDL Terre Verte (ok, not great, staining)
2BD viridian hue
2BD sap green
Sap green and viridian hue are minimally staining (no granulation)
1BOI Prussian blue (staining)
2C magenta (PV23/PV37? heavily staining, avoid)
2C purple (avoid)
2C mauve (avoid)
2C violet (avoid)
==================
The top 12+4 are on my palette. I don’t like staining colors.
ultramarine mixes great with light red for blacks and silvery grays, and with burnt sienna and Indian red for grays. Viridian mixes great with rose madder hue/carmine/crimson lake for blacks. Raw sienna changes color based on dilution, unlike yellow ochre. IIRC, gamboge hue is a tad more orange than permanent yellow deep.
Cons: No real red or bright orange in the series. No strong cerulean or turquoise. UMB strength sometimes does not seem enough. No usable violet/purple shade in tube. Probably no one has really tested the lightfastness.
Camlin refused to divulge color index names: “This is to inform you with regret that we can’t disclose the pigment no as it is not allowed in the company policy.” :eek:
I have no experience with Daler Rowney or WN. Ironically, Camlin is the WN partner in India. Camlin is now Kokuyo Camlin, also known as Camellia in the US.
Other than Himalaya fine art (mentioned above, and they have excellent customer service), there’s also creativehands.in/%5B/URL%5D who are commercial importers with a retail outlet (also with good customer service).
PS: Just a reminder, stay away from anything camlin/camel student grade, it’s worse than trash.
PS: Get good paper. If you’re near Kolkata, you can get 100% cotton, acid free, handmade, internal and external gelatin sized paper at Rs 40/sheet from G C Laha (Very likely India’s oldest art store at 108 years old). I hear great paper is also made in Pune."
Kind regards,
Heidi
