I use a lot of sticky honey-based watercolours, and always put them in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes before unwrapping. It's just enough time to get a coffee and some clean water ready for a good swatching session. It genuinely works and does no damage to the paint or wrapping. It's also great for any paint being transported in summer.
Thank you!! Great tip! I have had others recommend that, and I'm usually already filming when I remember that tip! Haha, I will try it out one of these days. 💗
Top tip for sure 👍🏼✨
What an exciting haul!! Thank you for finding best prices as we “add to our collection” of everything watercolor (what I focus on)…
You were the one who got me started with Jackson’s years ago when we could add samples of different art supplies for basically nothing…. Plus, the savings I’m a big bargain buyer (almost as exciting as the product…key word‘almost’…lol
I’m looking forward to trying this new store❤
I bought the cochineal red and anotherpalette from the retro series (the one with tubes) but I think the one you bought has the nicest looking palette due to the deep wells!!
Plus, I think the gold logo on the front is kinda classy.
I’ve been trying to decide which gold pigment powder to purchase.
I don’t like a harsh gold or yellow gold. Your taste is usually “spot on”.
If you could only purchase one, which would you recommend?
Thank you again, Stephanie ❤
Blessings to you and your family,
Nancy Rolfe
Thank you so much, Nancy! So nice to "see" you again! Yes, I'm the same! I think every purchase I make is even more exciting, as I find my wish list items all for the best prices. I'm so glad you were able to get some of the samples from Jackson's! They used to have so many, and now don't seem to offer near as many. I'm hoping it's not because too many people took advantage.
I hope you find something fun at Momarte eventually. The trick is finding enough bargains to make up for the shipping, which is usually $25.
Thank you! Yes, I had a hard time deciding between the two retro palettes...the pretty palette and gold logo won me over. Thank you! I will be sharing a video with the Schmincke Aqua Bronze swatches in an upcoming video, so you will be able to see which one suites you best. I'll share my favorite then, when I can compare them next to each other. Thanks so much for the comment, I always love chatting with you! Blessings to you and your family, Nancy! 💗
So good you found an alternative for Jacksons! I stopped ordering from them because they started cramming supplies in an envelope so it arrived damaged and that happened several times and I told them and sent them pictures but I got no response. It is about time they realize that you cannot act that arrogant towards your customers. Thanks for showing your lovely haul!
Really?!? Oh no! I have not had any problems with orders from Jackson's before. I'm also shocked they did not respond to your email! That is so disappointing to hear... Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed! 💗
I really enjoyed watching this
Thank you so much!! 💗
Cochineal Red is my favorite red of all my reds. It's gorgeous!
Thank you! I enjoy it and I'm glad I have it in my collection.💗
The Schmincke palette is cute and tube of cochineal is lovely. I’m not much of a mixer either which might be the reason why I have more watercolors than is technically necessary! Love the owl. ❤
Thanks, Shadow! I totally agree, and now I think I have almost all of the colors from Schmincke so I can finish collecting another brand?!? I love to mix most colors, except for browns. I do love collecting them and finding my favorites. Thank you!! 💗
@@TheGypsyChic1 you’re welcome. If you collect all the Schmincke colors what will you collect next, if anything at all? ☺️
I'm not sure yet?!? Lol Maybe I am maturing enough as an artist I can quit collecting and comparing finally?!? My daughter moved out recently, so I have been reorganizing my studio. This may be the year a finally start curating my collection down? Though I really love to paint around the world with all of my different brands of watercolors. So, I'm sure I could collect more colors from A Gallo, or Isaro... ;D
@@TheGypsyChic1 👍☺️
Thank you for sharing a new art supplies source. The Cochineal red tube fascinated me.
Being in the UK and having access to European products is great.
I have started mixing my watercolours. Watching your videos has given me the confidence to buy specific tube colours to creat my own individual palette.
You are so welcome! I love trying new art stores, and new supplies. Yes, in the UK you are so lucky to have such great shops to choose from! I hope my swatches have helped you decide which colors are best for your palette!
Fun haul! Lovely owl painting at the end of the video! ❤😊
Thank you!! It was so fun. Thank you very much! 😊 💗
Hi Stephanie ! Thank you for the swatching video. That Cochineal red is a stunner... a pity it is not lightfast! How does it compare to your other reds? I wonder if it is similar to Alizarin Crimson... Re Momarte: I am Italian and since discovering them I shop on Momarte all the time due to the convenient prices: they ship quickly and have new offers every month. Their customer service is also top notch: they truly go the extra mile... I am glad to hear they reach more international customers. Happy painting!
Hello! Thank you!! You're welcome. Yes, Cochineal Red is lovely but not as lightfast as modern pigments. I actually filmed a review of this palette, and painted the owl at the end of the video. I will share some similar reds in that video. I found it closest to Permanent Carmine, for the reds I have in my collection.
Oh, you are lucky to have such a beautiful art store close to you! Yes, I have been very pleased with all of my orders and I love the specials they run. Thank you!! Happy painting! 💗
@@TheGypsyChic1 thank you! that's useful. 🙂
I real like the retro schimincke boxes they are lovely, thank you for this review..i like to learned about new art items....really lovely colors all around thank you for swatching them out... owl colors was great combinations together well done....💙🇨🇦🇺🇲👩🎨🎨✍💙
You are so welcome! I think they are lovely as well! I'm so glad you enjoyed!💗
Thank you so much for doing these hauls. I love them. You always find such unique beautiful art supplies. I absolutely love that red. It's amazing. Although I can't afford half as much as you have, I still like to know that those options are there.
You are so welcome, I'm so glad you enjoyed. Thank you so much! That has always been my intention. Trying and eventually comparing to help others (as well as myself!). I can't afford much either, since 2020. I just sell things I no longer love to boost my art budget, or use credit card rewards etc. I'm so glad you enjoy, and that is why I keep sharing. I love the community and try to help others find what suits them. 💗
top tip - try mixing the Aqua Bronze powders with gold acrylic paint rather than water. The results are stunning for using as gold accents on watercolour paintings. I got the tip from one of Margot Hallac's youtube videos :)
Thanks so much for the tip! I will definitely try that tip! I can't wait to experiment with it more. 💗
Fun haul. I haven't tried Momarte yet but I'll look into it for next time. 🙂
Thanks, Miranda! It's worth checking out for products from Europe. 💗
You can definitely get larger watercolour tin boxes like your new 8 half ban one. Various paint brands have them (including Maimeri 😊 ) or you can buy them empty from places like Whiskey painters or Bromleys art supplies in the UK. Most are made by an italian company called Fome. Some independent stores may have them too.
Thank you!! Yes, I did splurge on the Maimeri Blu palette when it was on sale at Jackson's. I'm just a Schmincke fan, so I really want Schmincke to sell one too! Lol. Thank you for the info, so others can read it and know that are available in different brands. I have seen Holbein has one at Jackson's, but it is not available for purchase from the USA sadly. 💗
@TheGypsyChic1 Fair enough! I only have 1 Schmincke palette - the long thin slim one with 12 half pans. I do have an 8 pan tin too, just a plain black Fome without the Schmincke branding! 😆 Very cute!
I hope to be more like you soon! Hopefully one day soon...and not need all the limited edition palettes. It's just so fun right now, I can't help myself. Yes, all the palettes are so cute! Enjoy your palettes!!
I just ordered some pencils, a set of Derwent coloursoft and a few of conte a paris. I got awesome price and shipping was like 6 euros, which is awesome. Thank you for sharing this video. I am always on the hunt for affordable places to order supplies from. I might order from Momarte more often.
That is so awesome! Yes, I am always trying to find the best place to try art supplies, and prefer to support real art stores as much as possible. Prices are always changing, so it is a great reminder to check around. I'm so happy you were able to treat yourself and get some great prices, with great shipping too!! I started ordering from Momarte last summer, and they often run sales etc. I am always hunting too, and I try to share when I feel it will be helpful. 💗
@TheGypsyChic1 I will be saving (again) for Polychromos, and I'll be watching their prices. I hear Coloursoft are not fit for details, so I'll get a smaller set (36 or 48) of polychromos to do details.
Polychromos are very nice for details, and you can layer with them nicely too! You can find good Black Friday sales too sometimes. I didn't care for the Coloursoft pencils too much actually, myself. I hope you find a great price soon!
That red is gorgeous. I also just bought the Aquabronze powders. I got them all except the silver. That one could not be shipped overseas for some reason. I haven’t tried them yet but I heard they can rub off unless you bind them with gum Arabic or another binder. I have to test that. Awesome haul.
Thank you! I agree, I love it and find it a special red. That is awesome, I hope you love them all! I have all but silver, as well now. I can't wait to swatch out the copper, which is my latest splurge. That is interesting, the same thing happened to me when I tried to order silver from Jackson's. I have tried one gold, and I did not find it rubbed off much. I need to experiment more with it for sure. Thank you!! 💗
I’m in the UK and ordered the set of 3 Aqua Bronze pigments.. pale gold, silver & copper. There’s a hazardous warning on the label for the silver.. it’s highly flammable, recommends using in a well ventilated environment and not to empty waste down the drain as it’s toxic to aquatic life.. it’s got a very strong chemical smell.. gave me a head buzz and it’s kind of put me off using it 😕
That said, I do love the gold and copper.. to be extra sure it won’t rub off when dry, I dip my paintbrush into a bottle of W&N gum arabic and mix with the pigment and a little water.. they really don’t like too much water.
Love the swatches.. all beautiful colours ❤
Your owl is lovely😍 I recently picked up the retro tube set as well and the colors are great for mixing. What are the shipping costs like from Momarte?
Thank you!! The Retro tube set is lovely, I hope you enjoy it!!
The shipping costs were $25. So. it's always a bit of a game, to wait to purchase until I have enough discounted products to still come out ahead after the shipping costs. They are currently offering the Schmincke Wooden palette for $50 and the Slim palette for $31. The also carry some brands like Rembrandt. I was happy to find the Rembrandt dot card at Momarte. Some products we can no longer purchase at Jackson's, like Rembrandt because of trade agreements. I hope that helps and you find some good deals! 💗
One more thing… I love PY150 because of the way it moves when you drop it into another wet colour. It pushes the other colour back and so can look like little yellow flowers. Thanks for the upload :)
Thanks for sharing! Yes, I tend to think of it as a phthalo yellow, lol. But, I enjoy it! You are so welcome. Thanks for the comments!
Thanks for the heads up on this alternative art store 👍🏼 I went there to have a look but don’t understand Italian either. I’ll go back and look for the “in English” button 😊
You are so welcome! I hope you find some of your wish list at good prices. I think it would depend on which browser you use. I used Google Chrome, so it translated for me automatically. I hope that helps!
Can’t find the translate button so will message them. Btw, if you want those beautiful metallic powders to stick better on paper, it’s worth using a palette knife to mix the powder with a little liquid gum arabic. The less water the better whether you’re just using water or with the gum arabic. Experimentation is key 👍🏼
Thanks for the tips! I can't wait to experiment more with the gold powders. I have used one a few times, and did not notice it rubbing off yet. I will definitely try it with and without gum arabic. Thank you! 💗
The specs for Cochineal Red on Jackson's say "Cochineal NR 4 - Insect Carcass", so yeah no it's the crushed bug version. It did surprise me that they would reissue it though....
Yes, thank you! I mentioned that later in the video. Eek. It is a lovely color though!
It was a very common colouring when I was young, and I believe cochineal bugs were a serious crop pest, so the colouring was a by-product of manually getting rid of them (this is what I dimly remember) Now they just get sprayed away, I suppose, but they must still be a pest in places or on certain crops.
@@nikkia9506 Oh that's really interesting to know, thank you. Sort of like lamp black being a byproduct of the meat industry I guess.
@@kami_kauai Lamp black was originally soot carbon collected from burning candles, and inside the glass chimneys of oil and gas lamps. There's a company called Kobaien (I think) who take 4 years to make Sumi-e ink sticks, starting by collecting soot from hundreds of candles tended by one or two men. (Google: Why Japanese Calligraphy Ink is so Expensive to see a fascinating film about it. I've no idea how they collect enough soot for lamp black now.
Ivory Black is the one made from burned bones, a byproduct from the meat industry. It replaced the earlier version which, sadly, was made from elephant ivory.
I just get bored and curious 😆
@@kami_kauai Just checked. Cochineal started in South America and the South of North America, an the prickly pear cactus. The bugs have followed the cactus all round the world. I do remember hearing about it a surprising amount in the 70s. Can't work out why. I was under ten so it's vague 🤷♀️
Holbein has bijoux palettes with 8/16 or 24 colours and they are beautifully packaged. They cost less than €40 for the 8 halfpans.
Thank you! I wish I could have found the 24 set. I do have the set of 8 and it is so beautiful!
Oh, don’t feel like something is wrong about saving the packaging because I do that EXACT same thing!!
I’m leaning towards the ‘pale gold’…it may be my screen but the ‘rich pale gold’ looks like it has a greenish cast….
Let me know if you have a preference between the two please!! I’ve never regretted purchasing anything you have liked….
Sorry for the 2 posts on one video….
Thank you, Stephanie
Nancy Rolfe
Thanks, Nancy! That is nice to know...I'm I will try to make a video soon sharing all of the Schmincke Aqua Bronze powders all together so you can see them. I will have to swatch them all together to compare them. Aw, thank you! I really try to make videos that are helpful, so that means a lot to me. I love reading comments, so no need to apologize. 💗
I might be being dim but I can’t find how to get the site in English. Nice haul.
It might depend on your browser, I use safari and it doesn’t translate automatically. But if you use google translate and enter the web-site it does translate in English.
Thank you I’ll give it a try@@JinnyCJ
Was shipping reasonable?
@@moniquehumphries6316 Sorry, I forgot to mention about the shipping! It's usually $25, so you will have to order enough at a discount to make up for the shipping. I've found a few Schmincke palettes for less than half price, from what I could purchase here in the USA...so it was worth it for me at the time. I hope that helps!
@@JinnyCJ Thank you for answering! Yes, I'm using Google Chrome so it automatically translates it.
Momarte does not seem to have an option for Canada in their scroll down menu for countries...strangely...too bad.
You should try writing to them, they are very attentive and there's a good chance they'll send it to you
Aw, I'm sorry to hear they don't ship to Canada at this time. Hopefully one day soon!
Always put your new pans in the freezer for about 10 minutes so the wrappers come right off with nothing left behind.
Thanks! I only seem to remember that tip, after I'm in the middle of filming already! Lol
Did the price change much when coverted from Euros to dollars? The Jackson website appears to already be converted to dollars. When I converted Euros to dollars it seems the prices are very similar or the Euro or may be tad higher compared to Jackson's website. Did you notice any conversition change in cost on your order?
Hi Martha! No, the price just adjusted at the current conversation rate. Yes-Jackson's does change automatically, as you shop in your currency now. When I started shopping at Jackson's in 2017 was similar to Momarte, and you would get a discount by the VAT being removed too. Since the Euro changes almost daily, we will just always have to check before ordering. I didn't have any charges after any of my orders, or fees popping up later for the conversion. But, you will need to make sure which ever payment form you use doesn't charge you for that. I used Paypal. I hope that helps!
@@TheGypsyChic1 thank you for the information. I was comparing the prices to a Schmincke Akadamie slim pallette I just ordered. With conversion and shipping cost it's about even but will keep these websites in mind. I'm new to watercolor so looking for the best deals to get supplies. Too bad even with websites in the USA have to take time to find the best deals. Ordered some dot cards to learn more about various companies color range and even those vary from website to website in price. Love a good deal too bad searching for quality at a good price takes away time to do art.
Oh, you are so welcome!! I do hope you love the Schmincke Slim palette! It has Schmincke's student grade range paints, but they are pretty nice for student grade. If you need a splurge for next month, Momarte has a stunning Schmincke wooden box for $50 that is a really nice product (with a nice selection of colors from the professional line and a nice brush).
Since you are new, please know it may be tempting for you to try all of the brands etc. I don't say it enough, but it is completely unnecessary!! I just find it so fun, as I discovered my love for art late in life. The best brand is completely personal preference, and you will waste time hunting for the best brand like I have more than painting. Lol. But, yes it takes a lot of time hunting for the best price too. That is why I share my hauls, to try to share the best prices and places I found them. I plan to review most of the products I purchase eventually! I sell loads of things I used to love, and use credit card rewards to splurge now. I highly recommend trying that, as it really helps. ;D
how do you change the momarte site to English.
Hi Cynthia! If you use the Google Chrome browser, it automatically translates it for you.
@@TheGypsyChic1 thank you so much
What is Momarte art?
It is an online art store located in Italy. They ship to the USA.
Why pay extra to buy a palette designed to be used plein air only to use it on a table? Makes sense only in UA-cam world.
Hi Phillip! It is definitely a splurge, not a need! I made a hobby of of selling things I no longer love, and using credit card rewards to discover which art supplies I love most. I do hope to plein air paint soon, but it probably won't be with anything fancy. Lol. But, this palette was $53 and I thought that it was worth it. ;D
@@TheGypsyChic1 oh no don't get me wrong girl. You buy all you want. I have many and they aren't going anywhere. Lol
But I use mine. I was just curious as to why you'd buy something for something you don't do? That's all. Just curious. Not judgment. I've seen ppl complain about plein air palettes not sitting flat on a table and it's always driven me nuts, how nuts it drives them. Because it was never meant to sit flat, ya know. But yeah, but all you want of whatever you want. No one has the right to say a damn thing about it. It's your life, not theirs. He'll if you want to buy it just to flush it down a toilet, that's your business.
@@phillipstroll7385 Thanks!! Oh, I use all my supplies too...or they get sold or donated. Unused supplies equals wasted money, to me. I've just had to learn over the years which supplies work for me, and I'm still learning so much. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so I do like keeping them looking as nice as possible while still using them. I used this Schmincke palette just fine on a towel, to paint the owl painting I showed at the end of the video. I was just trying to show people so they could see it doesn't quite sit flat. People work really hard for their money, and I would rather be honest and let people know what they are getting. Lol, people say a lot of stuff! I know I have shared a lot of hauls, and I truly meant to share where I found such good deals...but I think if they haven't watched my videos they wouldn't understand that. I grew up not having anything but a few crayons...so I never discovered my love for art until late in life. Haha, I will probably have to make some homemade not pretty thing to plein air paint because I can't find anything that seems to work for me yet or it is too expensive. Yes, I guess everyone is different and we all like different things. I'm glad you are living your best art life, and I'm glad you have lots of art products to enjoy! 💗
