    I actually have this pallet from GRABIE & I like them. They are pretty saturated & lots of pretty cool colors. Sooo many colors to choose from. 😂 I haven’t tried their 100% cotton paper yet though. 🤷🏼‍♀️Happy painting everyone. 🎨 🖌️

    I'll definitely be checking out their paper. We all know how expensive 100% cotton paper can be, so it's nice to find an affordable brand that has decent quality.

    I find that Bee paper and Academy have worked quite well for price and appearance. I have had the Grabie post cards for a month, and find them to be consistent with other 100% cotton wc post cards. So many papers, so little time! :)

    This was a great review and a little paint lesson as well. I am just starting my watercolor journey and have a set of 36 color and also a set of beautiful water color brushes. Thank you for your demonstration. I will be back soon to watch more of your demos.

    I too was sent some Grabbie paint. I found I needed a lot of paint to make the darker tones. I did find that the colours faded over time

    I appreciate these reviews. I purchased this set and am looking forward to painting with them. I wanted to use them in my journal and just have some fun. I didn't feel like mixing colors and figured I would have plenty of colors to play with. I have some professional watercolors (Winsor Newton, M Graham, Daniel Smith) and will use them for any serious painting project. Sometimes it's good to just have fun and loosen up. Some of my paintings have been done when I'm not taking my painting too serious. Happy Painting!

      I’ve found that almost ALL the stuff Grabie has can be found for at least half/quarter the price yourself on Temu… they’re a bit of a rip-off actually….unless you want to pay double for not having to research supplies yourself and would rather have them curated for you and turn up (for extra shipping as well) 😂

  • @sherryleggett1612
    @sherryleggett1612 3 місяці тому

    I have noticed that some sets of watercolours have distinct colours while in the palette so you know what to expect on the paper. Others are various dark shades on the pallet and you need to swatch them to see what colour they are. Is that a function of different binders or something? Does it indicate good paints from not so good paints?

    With watercolors, lightfastness is critical! Not cool to dismiss artists who are indeed interested in pigment information. If you are a hobby painter or someone who does "crafty" art and do not intend to sell your work, these paints might be fun to play around with, but for professional artists who sell their work and don't want to cheat their buyers, then it's important to pay attention to the quality of the pigments you are using. As as subscribe of your channel, this "review" surprises and disappoints me.

    @trilliand Рік тому +14

    Those are really cheap colours, hardly any pigment in them, chalky, no depth. I made the mistake of buying something similar on Amazon when I started to paint with watercolors and regretted it soon. Money is much better invested in a small number of real student quality paints. You can mix almost any color you need and there is just such a difference in quality. Also easier to follow tutorials if you have colours that have actual pigment numbers.

On the plus side though, starting out with these paints, once you switch to quality paint, you will see and appreciate the difference in the results you get.
