I love the Van Gogh paints. Yes, they use cheaper pigments and some of them can be kinda opaque if used a little thicker, but they are still very good paints, especially considering the price. I have a whole bunch of different watercolors, student as well as artists ones, and the Van Gogh paints remain a favorite of mine. People like to complain that they are difficult for glazing, but this is not a problem once you have figured out what paper they are compatible with. I personally love using them on Fabriano Watercolor Fine Grain paper, they are wonderful on that paper. While I agree that they are not artists paints, due to the type of pigments used, I find that they can compete with a number of artists paints when it comes to how well they rewet, pick up and flow. They're paints that are affordable enough to be a good choice for beginners, but good enough to be used and enjoyed by artists - I really do love them and would not wnt to miss them in my collection. Oh and by the way , very nice artwork you made there.

Van Gogh watercolors are vibrant and beautiful watercolors,but they are definitely student grade ones,they are in the opaque side because of the brighteners in them which you can see it clearly if you paint on a black paper so they are very hard to glaze .the Rembrandt line is their professional line and much cleaner and more transparent ,the funny thing is that when I made a lightfastness test for the Prussian blue of both lines the van gogh was very lightfast and held its color for three months without fading but the Rembrandt one faded in few days.

They were my first watercolor Set I have ever got (for 15€). I already tried a few other Brands. So far sennelier, van gogh and schmincke are my fav. And they all work very nicely. I would recommend van gogh to absolutely every beginner and advanced artist.

Your test paintings are always masterpieces! I love your reviews!😊

You make some of the best art videos on KZfaq! I especially love how you can hear the birds in the background, I find it so calming.

Omgosh this was so informative! Thank you so much for doing this review it helped me make some choices!

thank you for that very helpful review and also for that very beautiful swatch page you created it was a joy to watch😍

Your reviews are so well done. And your sample paintings are great, too. Just found your channel today. Lindsey Weirich mentioned you in the review she put out, today.

The bottom of the brush acts as the pan and palette remover daw XD nice palette and review as usual, sir Allan! Thank you for sharing

Informative and you’re really talented. Your painting there is beautiful.

Your reviews are interesting to watch. Great video and a beautiful painting 😊

Great painting demo, thanks for this great review. I hope you will upload some detailed tutorials using Van Gogh paints and I really like your style of painting and how you interact with the paints and materials. It’s a breath of fresh air seeing some reviews of watercolour while demonstrating painting a landscape. To be honest I am fed up seeing anime and flat illustrative/design style of painting with most reviews. I am glad that I discovered your channel. You have inspired me to re-evaluate Van Gogh paints, as I stored them away in favour of Rembrandt paints. I also made my own vegan-friendly paints for my own personal use and they are great too, but as I am learning to paint I want to ensure that my technical painting skills advance with the the best known materials such as Rembrandt paints. I also love how you have swatched the paints and done a painting using the corresponding paints, which I think is a brilliant idea. I see that you have punched some holes on the side of the watercolour paper, presumably to store them in a ring binder/folder. I will do that from now on and thanks once again for an informative review.

Just bought the Van Gogh WC 12 tubes 10ml before founding your channel. Now I think, I have made a good decision. Thank You for the excellent review and demo. New subscriber.

Thaaanks a lot!! Your videos are helping me to choice my next step with a decent watercolor :D I am thinking to buy Van Gogh or Sonnet, I am finally getting the final veredict. Probably the sonnet one!!

I have a couple tubes I tried out that I like to use when I need something more opaque. The deep yellow has been real nice for some sunflower paintings and the raw umber I've liked for dark tree trunks

I've just recently found your channel. Thanks for the reviews. More power! I also paint with watercolors ☺️☺️☺️

Love the video and sketches!

I'm a new subscriber. Wonderful videos and wonderful little painting!!!

This was my first artist grade set. I love this!

Hello po! Thank you po for your in depth reviews and introducing a lot of watercolor brands! I've been watching all of your reviews po, and I'm glad I found your channel 💓💓💓

Your videos are great and informative. Thank you!

I love those pocket boxes, they're so small and easy to take along. I got three different of them, that basic set that you got there, one with muted colours (which are just beautiful) and one with metallics and inteference and metallic colours (which of course are a bit more gimmickiy, but look real nice on black watercolour paper). They are definitely far better than the Pelikan set I started out with (and still use, there's something really comforting about them acting so similar to those opaque watercolours we used to learn colour theory and mixing back in primary school) I know, they're probably not artist grade, but more of an intermediate medium :3. And they're definitely pretty achievable, at least here in Germany.

Your palette is so clean!

The best Van Gogh box review I have seen so far. I have used these paints and liked them, but I did remove the white, and replaced it with a yellowish green made by Royal Talens.

You’re so talented!!!

hello! i just found your channel and i must say that you're really good at reviewing watercolors! i was actually planning to buy this van gogh set but we're currently on a quarantine so i'm kinda broke right now xD kinda anxious too because there's only 1 stock left on shopee ( is that your shop haha ). hope you'll restock if it solds out. thank you!!

thank you so much for this video! i love the landscape you made and will definitely be buying these :) but i am glad that i live in the Netherlands because they are a lot cheaper here haha

this video is perfect !!!

I recently started working with water colors and chose this brand, i am very happy with these colors especially for the price (I only paid 17 euros which is about 19 us dollars) i also ike the brush in this set .

I was thinking about buying this paint but isaw so many video that saying this paint is not transparent, chalky and muddy but i am happy to see that video. Thanks

I got my basic box - without the extras - for roundabout 12 to 14 something Euros here in Germany when my favourite craft supply store was selling them for a discount (and I could still use a customer card where you get 10% off, they give those to professionals and students in creative/artistic fields like architecture or education) I definitely feel like that was quite a steal 😅 The other two I got - which are the muted colours and the metallics - were 15 to 20 Euros here. I love the sturdy boxes and that they don't take up so much space on my ever cluttered desk ^^' (I'm just that chaotic :D)

i have te museum collab set for this brand (this box be orange). so far i have been able to work with em quite well. i think how well something works for you is your application and style

Isa rin sa mga tinatarget ko noon nyan...at ngayon isa na sa mga palette ko... Astig kase ng palette box nya.... Maganda pa pintura.. Yung brush nya ginagamit kong pangdetails at finix ko na haha..para di maghiwalay.. Ang problema ko lang sa box nya ay hindi tight yun lock medyo loose...pero ok naman kung studio lang..

Could you review Nicker poster color?

Does anyone please know if it´s better to buy Viridian or Phthalo green? They are supposed to both use PG7 pigment and i don´t know which one should i buy(I´m setting new palette). Can anyone please tell me which one should i buy? (PS: I don´t like granulation.)

Hi I really like your landscape painting. Could you plz let me know how do you learn drawing and painting?

Oh interesting! I see they changed the pigment for Burnt Sienna. My old Van Gogh tubes list PBr7 but in the new formula they now use PR101. Meanwhile their Rembrandt line still uses PBr7.

Wonderful! Is there a review on the 24 color set?

I just bought a few Van Gogh tubes, and I was surprised right off the tube the colors were a little chalky, not as pronounced as Holbein's, but it felt weird spreading them on the paper.

what Brush was you using in this exercise, was it a black velvet brush or Da Vinci ? I loved you did a little painting underneath the swatches, what a good idea.

VG is Intermediate, imho. Between Student and Pro. The REM greens are very bright with a light wash. I have both and the VG aren’t that less in pigment. The blues are gorgeous in both sets as well as the burnt Sienna. There’s a movie made using just VG paint for the backgrounds. Won some awards to boot.

Bumibili ako ng half pan dahil hindi ako aware na may set pero no regret kasi nacucustomize ko ang palette ko. I am still using this brand til now and gusto ko pa mag explore ng ibang brands.

Hello sir allan! I hope you can restock this on your shopee account! Thank-you and more power. 💯

Hi Allan, When we will see your review for the 17 tubes???

My First Favorite Watercolor!

Hi, where do you get your landscapes from? They are so beautiful.

New Subscriber Here !! And also Are You using A glacier paint brush ? Where can i bought it ? From Philippines!! I hope it's available on ph or asia, its not available on shoppe

We were able to use this brand in grade school and High school. The teacher gave of her own resources. We were thankful although student grade it helped much in learning wc.

An unpopular opinion you can or cannot agree with: if the are lightfast, I don't think it matters that much. Someone will find a way to work professionaly, addapt the paper or even sell their art with them. They have a little opaqueness going on and have sintetic pigment mixed in their composition, but some good artist could find a way to work around them, simply because they are resistent enouth. But that is just a possibility. If an medium quality pencil brand, for exemple, had this feature, I can garantee they would sell a lot more. If you must work with professional material, the most affordable in this category will be white nights, in most countries, with rembrandt as a close second

Does fill with tube paints have practical differences from standard pans?

hi! ask ko lang po if may recommendation kayo na under 800php watercolor na perfect for portraits :)))

Hi, I'm starting some online watercolor lessons. I'm in doubt if it would be better to acquire this set or the St.Petersburg's Sonnet. Would you help me on this one?

which one should I get po this van gogh one (can't seem to find the ones with +3 free colors online) or the paul rubens 12 colors paint set? I am a beginner and looking for a good quality of wc with reliable pigments to start with, their price range is almost the same so I'm torn on choosing between the two of them, hope you can reply on this! :)

Bigginer po ako ano po b pinak magandang brand ng watercolor po? Salmat btw new subbie

Which is better, this van gogh set, the w&n cotman sketcher's box or the w&n cotman brush pen set?? Im considering the color selection the case and brush included.. If u could help me pls. i cant decide which one to buy.. im a beginner..

FIRST!!! HAHAHA

sir, may i ask some tips or advice in order to make/paint still life paintings?

Easy answer: the producer, Talens, markets it as "Student grade." I used it years ago and concur.

Can anyone help me decide? I’m choosing between sennelier la petite aquarelle (£40 for 24 half pans), white nights (£60 for 36 whole pans) or talens Van Gogh (£35 for 24 half pans). I’ve included prices because they’re super variable to the prices I’ve seen everyone paying in videos! Thanks :)

I like these paints but they are difficult to layer ;(

Which is better van gogh pallete or the o. Win? BTW I'm planning to buy paints on your shop sir😊

i bought this in your shop! lol!!! i was torn between pretty excellent and van gogh! LOL!!! ano po mas okay van gogh or white nights? totoo po yung sa mahirap ireactivate yung winsor. lol!!! kaya papalitan ko ng van gogh yung travel watercolor ko. hahah!

Which would be better po for beginners van gogh or sonnet po?thanka po

Pg7 is supposed to be phtalo green. The ultramarine is obvious a higher grade, as Pv19.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I disagree with the comments on the opacity of the Van Gogh line. They are primarily transparent. They are classified by Royal Talens as student/professional and I find this to be accurate. They rate high in light fastness and perform as well as MANY professional lines. For price point, they will carry a watercolor artist well into the professional level.

idol, san po makakabili nyan? nahihirapan po ako maghanap sa shopee at lazada e. Bataan po loc ko

Which black pen do you use to do the lines in swatches?

sir pwede ho ba kayo magbenta nito sa shopee account nyo? nahihirapan kasi ako maghanap neto haha. bibili ako promise!

How does it compare to camel?

in germany these are really cheap you can get single halfpans for 1,70 euros

Would you prefer this set over the white nights set?

Alin po mas maganda sakanila ng senellier la petite?😊

sir ano marerecommend niyong fullpan watercolors or pati tubes hohu

Would you prefer this set over the 12 color set of Paul Rubens?

May I know po kung saan ka bumili niyan o nasa online po ba siya? Nagpaplano po kasi ako ng bumili. Gusto ko mag explore sa iba't ibang brand ng watercolours from students grade to artists grade💕

good afternoon sir asked ko lang po paano ko malalaman name ng van gogh pan ko? nabalatan ko na tapos nakalimutan ko name may pagka blue tapos sa pan nakasulat lang VG570, ano po kaya name nito🤔

Well, I bought a Van Gogh set. Thumbs down for me. They might work for others. Another review on the internet mentioned that Van Gogh paints like to go down on the paper and be left alone. She nailed it. If you work in layers or glazing, forget it with Van Gogh. I found a tip on using Cotman where you spray them with water and wait a few minutes. Problem solved.

Have you ever considered selling a book of your drawings before you've painted them? Like a coloring book or a book of drawings colorists or painters with drawing skills could trace onto watercolor paper then paint them themselves? I might be wrong here, but I don't think there is much of a difference these days between artist and student grade paints anymore. 20,30,40 years ago I would insist on artist grade, but these days the pigments are the same and one cannot see a difference between the two. Almost all student brands are now lightfast and almost all of them are artist grade paints. Just the level 1 or 2 artist grade colors instead of 3, 4 and 5. I don't think any one could go wrong with any reputable student grade anymore. However, with that being said, I picked up some cotman for my great grandson a few weeks ago, maybe a month, who can keep up anymore; Anyway, they (pans) seemed so much less than what I remember them being 40 years ago. They had to be activated which defeats the purpose of buying pans in the first place. I stopped on the way home to get a tube of cotman and it seemed fine but the pans, no way. Not only did it have to be activated but it seemed weaker in pigment than I remember. Maybe I've been using daniel smith now for too long to remember accurately. But any other student grade paint seems a good buy these days

How different is Van Gogh from Prang watercolor po?

Van Gogh...student grade.,Turner...one step up, rembrant...artist grade but not best. Da Vinci best of artist named paints.

New subs here utol support filipino artist. :)
