Nice review! I'm confused by the palette itself being that I normally use ceramic to mix on, not hold my paint. I don't understand why schmincke would include ceramic that doesn't have a little bit more space for mixing.
Mh, good point. And the pans are not even secured in the insert, so I don't know. The white paint is kind of useless, so maybe they could've worked the space differently and offer a bit more ceramic flat space for mixing... Now I really wonder how a metal tin could incorporate ceramic for its mixing spaces...
I have this set. I didn't like the porcelain plate inside and using a pokey tool (something with a very pointed end) I was able to lift it out. It stays in place with three magnets attached to the bottom of the plate, so it does not hurt the tin to take it out. I love the colors in this set, except the white. I replaced the white with yellow ochre and may green for sap green.
Great video and congrats on the 1k+ 💜💜💜 At that price range, it should be taboo to place a white in the palette. Btw, I love seeing your mixing charts :D
Thank you! :D LOL, I agree with that! It's always the least expensive pigment, too. Feels cheap from companies to fill the last spot with white, when it could've been a much more exciting color...
Great video Eve! 😆 Definitely an interesting palette. I would think you could add tube paints to the 6 small wells. I have a small ceramic palette (12 wells) that I have my original packs of Daniel Smith in (the 2 -6packs 5ml tubes). Granted, I don't take this palette traveling, so I don't know if there would be an issue. Pretty colors. 😃
Thanks Val! :D I don't think this palette is the best for traveling, it's heavy and I'd be worried about dropping it and breaking the porcelain insert (and the mixing flap is sort of useless unless you can set this palette on a flat surface). I might just put tube paints in the tray then, if I ever go through the pans XD
The porcelain palette has magnets on the bottom, so it doesn't fall out of the tin. But it can be prized out. I see the set as a sample collection for their new paints. I put them in a separate tin with other pans and am using the palette as a nice mixing palette. The white was a bummer, though, unless one likes to paint opaque mixes with pastelly tones.
Oh! Wow, thank you for the infos! I was wondering how the porcelain was moving around so much but not falling down when I turn the whole thing over, now I know! (I was also very hesitant to be rough with it, I'd hate myself if I broke it). I think I'll just remove the white from the set and use it on toned paper. Like I said, I think it can be useful for grayscale studies (but then again that might not interest everyone).
That was a lovely review! I find your videos to be relaxing and enjoyable to watch. I really like how you do the mixing charts. I don't know how to do this yet, so I need to learn :) Thank you for comparing this set with the other one. I can see how the colours in the other set might be more versatile, but I LOVE the colours in this one. So pretty!
Thank you! :) I didn't know you were also interested in watercolors! That's so neat! (Feel free to ask if you have any question!) The tray from this set hangs really low, but then again the set is quite heavy (around 350 grams) so it's clearly not the most convenient to carry. It's a formidable mini studio palette though.
I do love watercolours, although I am just a beginner. I used to love to play with them as a child, but I've just recently started to really get into them to try to learn :) Thank you very much! I will pick your brain hehe :)
I think it's a floral set, yes! It's not marketed or sold as such, but when I was looking at my color chart I really couldn't see any other rhyme to this set of colors. It's my first porcelain palette (of sort) and now I can see why they are so loved :)
Thanks! :) The porcelain looks classy, but is it really that much on an improvement over the metal tray in terms of efficiency? Hard to say. It took me a good moment of staring at the chart to realize that it's clearly meant to draw flowers and plants. And yes, the colors are gorgeous! :D
i have this set, the porcelain mixing tray is a replica from 1900! my( German) grandfather did have the exect same set when he was a child. in those days the artist always painting with tiatanium wite. the set is havy but in those days the artis dont care about tew eight! i realy like the new collors.
That's what I think too, but there's also no room left in the set to carry tubes... so I'm not sure. And it's kind of a heavy set for travel, so yeah maybe it's just meant to have some extra paints in those compartments. It's a versatile space, for sure.
I agree. There are literally hundred of colors they could've put in instead of the white... I might just switch it out with another one of my Schmincke half-pans :)
This was really useful info for me. I was going to buy this set to travel set, but it seems too heavy and colour selection is bit odd. I really like mixing on porcelain palette, but in this set it has quite little mixing space on porcelain. But this would still be nice :D Can't decide... Also, I think this is same tin than Schmincke 9 full pans set.
It's not the best for travel. I weighed the set, it weighs 355 grams. The historical palette (the 12 full pans) weighs 300 grams. A standard 12 half-pans tin with paints in it weighs about 165 grams. So yeah, it's kind of heavy for traveling around. Oh! I had never seen that 9 full pans set before!! Do you know if the tray is removable? :D
I think I look for standard 12 half-pans set :D 355 grams is really heavy to hold, I like to hold my palette on my left hand when painting outside. I have seen that 9 full pans set online (old amazon listing), but I have no idea is the tray removable. I think it's quite old set, haven't seen it never be in stock.
That set was a special edition, and yes, the insert is removable, as is the porcelain palette. You won't normally find the set, unless you're lucky (maybe on e-bay). I believe it wasn't even a Horadam, but an Akademie set.
Another great review! I just love Schmincke paints and for the life of me can't figure out why they would use the porcelain portion of the palette to hold half pans! The benefit of porcelain is the delightful way the paints mix on the surface and the ease of cleaning. Why they choose to cover it up with half pans is such a waste of space and weight for a travel palette. Someone needs to invent a variety of sizes porcelain inserts for travel palettes. I wonder if a thin layer of porcelain could be bonded to a metal lid and fold out panels that stay horizontal when opened. Why haven't watercolor manufacturers done this decades ago? Any Indigogo people with the drive and funds to create one? I would surely invest! Thanks! Paula in Florida
Thank you! And you're absolutely right about the porcelain insert. I'd think a thin layer of porcelain would break too easily for a travel palette... but maybe some sort of easy-to-replace porcelain-with-magnets inserts would be great. Something that you can buy a new one for cheap when the first one breaks.... It would add a lot of weight though, so IDK. (I'd still love it though!!)
Great review! One could easily throw away the greens, other than the perylene green. Perylene green is excellent for the really dark shsdes of vegetation. I would keep it. Sometimes ultramarine does the trick, but not always. The white is a real set off in such an expensive set, especially with all the new pigments that are out. To me it signals "keep batch costs down to save money". Artist quality sets should never include a white. White is an accessory. So does have a use, but I think it is very limited in sketching. I would replace it with an earth colour, like burnt sienna.
Thank you! :) I could never throw away Schmincke paints, GASP ;) Kidding aside, I know what you mean. I was a bit puzzled by this color selection but then I realized that it's probably really well suited to botanicals. I still would've done without the white and the neutral in favor of other new colors, but heh.
Had a similar thought regarding a travel set by Sennelier. It had far too many reds for me to make intelligent use of. Could have botanicals in mind. By the way, as the white is a quite opaque (and not the dreaded zinc white) I suppose one could paint in a way more like John Singer Sargent with white opaque strokes added when the other paint is bone dry. It's not a very common technique, though... ..I think...
A lot of Sennelier's products are intended for botanicals because these paints glaze very well... There's even a special set by Billy Showell, a botanical painter :)
Thanks for this review! :D I agree that the ceramic insert that doesn't come out makes no sense, also I believe in bigger mixing areas, so instead of six small wells I'd have put two larger wells, but I guess I can see the potential to use them maybe to add some other colors to the palette. From the mixes it almost looks like this palette is made for 'unicorn' drawings, a lot of possible red/purple/blue mixes, very bright but very unnatural. The previous palette is definitely more versatile, both colour-wise and in it's structure.
I completely agree with you (though maybe more flowers and plants than unicorns XD ). It's a lot less obvious what this color range is the best for so I think it could've benefitted from slightly more targeted marketing..? Anyway. I was thinking, but what if I want to wash the ceramic..? I'd have to use a rag and water but IDK, some things are much easier to wash just by putting them under running water. I would've also prefered two larger wells than 6 small ones, but it's still good. It's a lovely palette still and this is my first porcelain palette and the feeling of mixing paint on it is very enjoyable XD
Love your reviews, Eve :). Im not sure why Schmincke is leaving the edges unrolled.... I've heard they are very sharp. Even still, I want this so bad, but I hardly have time to paint, so it doesn't make sense for me. They sure do look lovely.
Thanks Kate! :) I don't understand either. For something that is meant to be handled, leaving the edges unrolled is a sure recipe for disaster at some point. They are a kind of dull-sharp, if that makes sense. Like genuinely sharp stuff (like knives or razors), I've cut myself on them without noticing because of how smooth they are. These tins though, they feel rough. I touch the unfinished edges and they feel like a hazard, like them saying "you know you're going to cut yourself at some point and it's gonna be VERY unpleasant".
Eve Bolt - Bolt's Vault I can't believe the Germans are allowing this. They usually are so focused on detail I'm not sure how they are letting it slide by
Maybe the tin manufacturer doesn't share the same detail-focused mind... What I think is even more odd is the fact that some boxes do have the rolled edges, and some don't. Why?
In what way? It's a half-chart, like when one makes a standard mixing chart it is generally square and has 2 times the color mixes. I start from that but I don't do 2 swatches for each mix, just one... Does that help? :)
I might! Though I only have the Decadent Pies set and I've repurposed the tin.... Mh. It's on the very long to do list though! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Interesting... but I don't get the Idea of the Ceramic insert - A ceramic mixing area yes but the wells no. I suppose you could use the extra wells to add tube colour or drop the pans all together and just fill it with tube colour - Is that their idea? It does not seem practical to use them for mixing in, they are so small and hard to clean out unless you have tiny fingers - my monsters wouldn't stand a chance. Seems a bit odd to make a small portable size palette and weigh it down like a brick by filling it with porcelain? Looks great though!
Sadly, the sterling silver one is truly out of my budget XD (Or "was", it doesn't look like it's still available on Jackson's website). I wish I could've seen it in person though, I'm kinda curious about how silver might change the feel of it all. And I bet the patina would be gorgeous (though, I can't even imagine bringing it along and maybe losing it somewhere.... brrr). The porcelain insert is truly neat. I guess if I ever was to go through the pans, I could put my favorite paints right in the palette, to capitalize on the fact that ceramic is awesome as a palette.
Hah I was joking about the silver palette. It seems super impractical and even if I had that kind of money to throw around on a palette that is not the one I would get!
I think it was something like 800GBP! If I had that kind of cash marked for a palette it would be one of those sweet brass numbers. I have the regular version of that palette with a metal insert. I got it with their student grade paint on sale and gave the paint to my kids. It holds 21 half pans and has a large mixing area which is nice for a relatively small palette.
I just love the schmincke burnt sienna sepia olive green and pinks. Their purple is fun for botanicals but on it's own it's strooong,rofl, I was doing my Iris and was like, what the héll :P I had that with the white nights purple as well. Very pretty but takes some getting used to,haha. I thought you were taking it easy on the to buy list *grinnnnnn I think, but that's just me, you're better of buying lose pans than a complete set and buy an empty whatever brand tin. But because I live in the eu the schmincke pans sell rather affordable for around 3 euro's. Making it no sence to buy a set where price is higher when you see individual pan price. That I think is a con to schmincke's sets, but very much fun when you want to make your own personal sets
I'm fortunate enough that I was gifted this set by my significant other, so not too much of a dent in *my* wallet, hehe :) Where I live, I can't find Schmincke locally at all. Jackson's is really the only way I can get those paints at a good price. What I really don't get though, is the price of empty Schmincke metal tins. It's baffling XD
No rhyme or reason for that either, my pans stick just fine in my rembrandt travler tin too :P that tin was around 10 euro, so I made up my mind quick enough
The Palette comes out, its held in with magnetic tape ! I took mine out and use it at home. Its lovely to mix on with small brushes .
Thanks for the tip! From what I remember, it's a bit tricky to remove it but it can be done! :)
Nice review! I'm confused by the palette itself being that I normally use ceramic to mix on, not hold my paint. I don't understand why schmincke would include ceramic that doesn't have a little bit more space for mixing.
Erin S. - Agree about the ceramic insert. It doesn't seem very useful. Brilliant review, Eve!
Erin S. that's exactly what I was thinking !
Mh, good point. And the pans are not even secured in the insert, so I don't know. The white paint is kind of useless, so maybe they could've worked the space differently and offer a bit more ceramic flat space for mixing... Now I really wonder how a metal tin could incorporate ceramic for its mixing spaces...
Agreed, it seems completely redundant.

I've been looking at this palette for while, I really love it, and I'm considering getting it. Thanks for the great review! C:

Feel free to do so! XD
I'm so happy they have been more present on the "scene" lately, watercolors deserve all the love XD
is it a floral set, the colors remibd me of it. i would be very happy with the porcelain insert!
I think it's a floral set, yes! It's not marketed or sold as such, but when I was looking at my color chart I really couldn't see any other rhyme to this set of colors. It's my first porcelain palette (of sort) and now I can see why they are so loved :)
Yes it's really nice. I just removed the pans and squease paint directly into the recesses.
great review! I'm not sure about the porcelain paint holder, but the colours are gorgeous! 😍 and as you said , quite fitting for botanicals!
Thanks! :)
The porcelain looks classy, but is it really that much on an improvement over the metal tray in terms of efficiency? Hard to say.

Ooooo, thanks Beatrix! That's really interesting! :D I didn't know it was a replica! That's so cool!
@beatrix oh wow, that's so cool!! Thank you for sharing this information :) I really like the colours too
i think the porcelain wells in the middle are for tube paint i think.
That's what I think too, but there's also no room left in the set to carry tubes... so I'm not sure. And it's kind of a heavy set for travel, so yeah maybe it's just meant to have some extra paints in those compartments. It's a versatile space, for sure.
Companies always get a plus sign from me when they don't add white to their 12 color sets.
I agree. There are literally hundred of colors they could've put in instead of the white... I might just switch it out with another one of my Schmincke half-pans :)
Another great review, Eve! Thank you : )
Thanks Pat, and you're welcome! :)
I was wondering what kind of brush you were using for this..?
I was using the super affordable Royal and Langnickel Zen brush series 83, round size 8. :)
Eve Bolt - Bolt's Vault thank you so much 🙏
I Just bought one. I love the set, much better than Cotman student paints. The Ceramic tray is lovely to use.
This was really useful info for me. I was going to buy this set to travel set, but it seems too heavy and colour selection is bit odd.

HerculePoirot thanks for info! Sad that it isn't normally avaible, would be handy size.
@HerculePoirot Good to know! And kind of a bummer too, I love this square-ish format :)
OMG that is a luxurious looking palette for tabletop/studio use ...
It is! And I think that tabletop/studio is the best use for it. My workspace is tiny so I appreciate that kind of small palette for studio work :)

I checked one site, and Schmincke 1,6 pan cost 226 rubles, and 5 ml tune cost 237 rubles.(1 $ cost about 60 rubles).
I really like the porcelain. But I prefer the colours of the other anniversary set you got better.
The other colors are a lot more versatile :)
You should do a review on the Prima watercolors! They're relatively cheap and come in nice colors.
I might! Though I only have the Decadent Pies set and I've repurposed the tin.... Mh. It's on the very long to do list though! Thanks for the suggestion! :)
Interesting... but I don't get the Idea of the Ceramic insert - A ceramic mixing area yes but the wells no.

Is this a student Paint ? so weaker in colour ?
No, it's professional range. The colors are not weak here, it's pretty standard intensity.
Did you get the sterling silver palette as well? ;) I'm glad you got this one because the porcelain insert is super interesting.
Sadly, the sterling silver one is truly out of my budget XD (Or "was", it doesn't look like it's still available on Jackson's website). I wish I could've seen it in person though, I'm kinda curious about how silver might change the feel of it all. And I bet the patina would be gorgeous (though, I can't even imagine bringing it along and maybe losing it somewhere.... brrr).

Hah I was joking about the silver palette. It seems super impractical and even if I had that kind of money to throw around on a palette that is not the one I would get!
Hehe! I don't remember how much the silver one was, but yeeeeah, if I had that kind of money I'd get more pigments to mix more paints! :D
I think it was something like 800GBP! If I had that kind of cash marked for a palette it would be one of those sweet brass numbers. I have the regular version of that palette with a metal insert. I got it with their student grade paint on sale and gave the paint to my kids. It holds 21 half pans and has a large mixing area which is nice for a relatively small palette.
Ooooo, yeah, the custom brass ones? Those are gorgeous. And less pricey, I think, haha XD
I would like to buy the empty tin and the ceramic insert. Please let we know if you would be interested in selling.
Hi! I'm not selling mine, sorry!
Hi! It seems Jackson's has a few in stock at the moment of me typing this : bit.ly/2SRSXKu
I just love the schmincke burnt sienna sepia olive green and pinks. Their purple is fun for botanicals but on it's own it's strooong,rofl, I was doing my Iris and was like, what the héll :P I had that with the white nights purple as well.
