    Hiya Lianne, I really enjoyed this video and the suggestions for the extra four pans are great.
    I'm surprised at the intensity of the pigment and anything from Jane Blundell is great.
    Thanks very much Lianne, take care and stay safe. x

All the best, take care too! 🤗 PS I use a calibrated pipeline, so if you have a calibrated sceen on your side you should see the coulours and intensity pretty faithfully.

    • @Papertude
      @Papertude  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks for pointing this out! Yes, it should be PY74 for Hansa Yellow Medium. Some of the earlier packaging and online reference swatch cards (including Jane Blundell's blog) have it incorrectly listed as PR144.😅 I should have noticed before upload. You can imagine my facepalm moment! 🤦‍♀️ 감사합니다

    Your swatches are so well done and uniform, they are like a work of art in themselves. I have my eyes on this set. I also have a Q: do you think the set could benefit from lemon yellow (PY3)? Thank you in advance!

    • @Papertude
      @Papertude  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks for your lovely comment. The palette itself is well balanced for mixing but, yes, a lemon yellow will be very beneficial to expand green range, especially if you require brighter greens. You can safely squeeze four more pans in this tin. I currently added Azo yellow, Potter's Pink, Mars Black, and Przybysz's Grey. Hope this helps.

    I just purchased a set, and I live in the United States, so it came from Jackson’s. I was very disappointed. Some of the pans were no longer being held in their spaces. Somewhere stuck to the top of the palette. Some of the metal holders were bent. There was like a dust on top of the water color in the pans. None of the pans were numbered so you had to guess by looking at the color swatch on the back of the box as to whether or not, you had the right color to put back in place. I got a couple of them confused right away .I was not happy at all. For the money, they could’ve packaged it a bit better I think. I think the colors are beautiful, but the way it was packaged and the shipping damages didn’t make a good impression or make my purchase very enjoyable.

      Hey Judy, It's a real bummer when you're excited, especially after waiting for the delivery, and then it's not as good as it's supposed to be. I totally get it. Having used these a lot, a thicker tin with a heavier finish would be nice to have. Mine scratched up quite easily and my pans are a little loose as well (even when I bend the clips). Despite their honey stickiness the colour performance and behaviour in my set is great. If your batch has any performance issues you should definitely reach out. Hoping you still enjoy these colours in use. Thanks for sharing your experience here - it's super helpful for people to have a full perspective before trying. 🤗

    Great video and what a perfect palette. I'd possibly sub out Indian red for Lemon Yellow. Not really a fan of the "mistakes" you can make with Indian Red. And I prefer a warmer yellow paired with Lemon yellow, such as Nickel Azo Yellow. And I prefer Raw Sienna to Gold Ochre. But these are trifles. The palette is awesome.

    • @Papertude
      @Papertude  Рік тому +2

      Great minds think alike - lol - after using a while I definitely agree Lemon Yellow is necessary to expand on mixing posibilites. Great to hear you're also a fan of Nickel Azo Yellow. 🤗 Thanks for sharing!

    Excellent video and just what I was looking for! I have had my eye on the Aquarius range for a while and have some Birthday money to spend but haven’t been able to make a decision on which set to go for! Your swatches look brilliant though and I think it has finally made my mind up to go for this set while Jackson’s have it on special offer. Can I ask what size your brush is please as that looks good too! Thanks x

    I bought some full pans from jackson's which are Individually packaged and they are super sticky. I really dont like that.

    • @Papertude
      @Papertude  2 роки тому +1

      If sticky while opening then I find freezing them for 10 minutes will give a clean release from the paper. If sticky while in use, I can only say: so far I've been lucky and got just one that is slightly sticky. This is always the worry for a honey based products. Maybe try and exchange for a different batch. Best of luck 🤗
