I am a newbie with watercolor and I bought these 2 weeks ago as my first set. Amazon has wonderful reviews of these paints. I am now painting a picture in an adult coloring book, and I like them. I don't care about lightfastness or selling my pictures. I color strictly for enjoyment. I used a very cheap set before and it was like painting with wet chalk. These are really nice to me. I can't wait to use them on a painting I plan to do of one of your landscape tutorials. 🎨😉😁

Great review, Lindsay! 👍 I really like this paint. I agree that they're better than Cotman and even Van Gogh. Their Artist Grade version, the PWC, is also superb. They kind of remind me of Mijello Mission Gold (in fact, I think the Shinhan Professional is very similar to Mijello Mission Silver). The difference that I notice is that the PWC has Cadmium colours in their line meanwhile the Mission Gold doesn't.

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich their student grade watercolors are called Shami watercolors, I don't think they are sold internationally. I haven't tried their artist grade watercolors, from what I hear they they seem fine. Some colors are slightly more opaque then Western watercolors

TheAwkwardMaître D'. The shumi are scholastic. Basically for kids at school. This is their true student grade while PWC (called SWC in the Korean market) is the artist line. Very very good, identical to Holbein but with too many fugitive reds. PWC/SWC is definitely not opaque, by any stretch of the imagination. They are very similar to European brands minus the ox-gall and those I tried seemed to perform very nicely next to my other brands.

The Shami line is their scholastic line (for grade school students) like Crayola but sort of on steroids cause they are way better than Crayola, CrazArt, RosArt, etc.; I know they say, when translated into English, that the Shami is student, but they really mean scholastic like in grade school kids that are doing art since that’s what they are and the packaging implies and suggests as much also. They also have paint for preschool and kindergarten age called “S+art Water Color”. The “ShinHan Professional Water Color” is their actual student grade paint meaning people studying art and beginner watercolorists like college or high schoolers that are serious about getting into art; it’s sort of like a semi-professional line. That line is like the counter part to Cotman, Van Gogh, Schmincke Akademie, Sennelier La Petite, Nevskaya Palitra’s Sonet (White Nights/Yarka) and so on. Now, their professional line is the “ShinHan Premium Water Color” which is the PWC line and they are great. They also have a line of hybrid paint called ‘ShinHan Professional Artists’ Korean Colors’ which is a line with a palette of traditional Korean colors than works in Korean paper and in western watercolor paper (hence the hybrid denomination). Hope that helps. PS: the hybrid line also encases the ‘ShinHan Pass” line which a watercolor/gouache hybrid unlike the SH Prof. Korean Colors line which is denominated hybrid because is an Eastern palette that works also on western paper as opposed to working only on Korean mulberry paper.

Back from a toooo long vacation and catching up. I got this set on a whim quite awhile back because I didn’t love the Cotman and wanted a paint for my skill level. I LOVE them. There’s so much freedom to explore and try new things when you don’t feel like it’s money down the drain and you’re freezing up. They’re so much fun that I splurged and got the next step up. Bordeaux isn’t even offered in that line. As a surprise for our 41st anniversary, my husband got me the top line of Shinhan. Bless his heart, I’m nowhere near even opening those. No Bordeaux in that line either, and the Turner wine red fades like youth. You gave such great instructions on mixing colors in your class, I’m pretty sure I can mix that beautiful color somehow. Yum. In to the donuts 🤗

I have a set of 36 from US Art Supply which was under 15 bucks delivered that has excellent lightfast ratings and doesn't desolve when rewet. Student grade. I've gotten two QOR. High chroma and starter set to replace student grades so far. I replace my student grades as expenses and great sales permit.

They remind me of the typical brights you can get in basicly any asian brand of watercolor, I was not suprised on how vivid they would get, I have the Hybrid Gouache from Shinhan; aka the shinhan pass ( Those I own are ment to be opaque, its a semi gouache,duhh,lol) and they are so damn VIVID. I mean, gouache is not intended to be thát vivid,so ofcourse,me being miss cannot do muted colors, I fell for it instantly. If I want them to mix like an actual gouache I can mix some white in it and Im good to go. Those shinhanpass semi gouache retails for that little money as well and is totally worth the buy,certainly when on a budget. Just a free tip. I don't know how they get their paints so cheap, I tried to find an answer for it online, but couldn't be of any help there.

The only downfall I have with extreme brights, is that they are rarely lightfast hahaha. Ok I admid I cant aford a daniel smith. Or perhaps I dont want to.

I've been doing some research on Mungyo & Shinhan watercolors in the past few days and your reviews were great sources of information. How do you compare Mungyo vs Shinhan professional, not the PWC premium line, watercolors in technical aspects, their mixing characteristics, and lightfastness? I prefer a limited palette so for me it's either Mungyo 12 color set + 2-3 extra pans to cover the lack of variety for yellow and red colors, the tin palette is also a plus for me right now, or it's a selection of 10-12 Shinhan professional watercolors covering primary colers and a couple of green and earth tones. Thanks!

You have to really read the labels as all brands will have some fugitive colors because people still want them.

Hello, I am very much a beginner, but looking for decent, inexpensive student paint for sketchbooks &art journaling. At one of my local shops Van Gogh tubes are on sale , $3. I know you said it and wrote it, but you prefer this set over the Van Gogh? Thanks! I've learned so much about pigment numbers and such from you.

OK for student grade.. I didn't really feel comfortable using them. They cost £19.00 and had a free brush with them. I was much happier when I returned back to my Schmincke water colours. I don't really trust the Light fastness as I had left a couple of paintings on my window sill during the last heatwave, along with one I'd done with Schmincke the week before. I noticed a difference in the paints faiding on the Korean paints. My Schmincke was OK. Thanks Lynsay.. Love the leaves. Honestly food? Again? Your killing me.. Lol..

What is a fugitive color? What does that mean?
@marvastroud87726 жыл бұрын
"Fugitive" colors are pigments guaranteed to fade over time, reguardless of exposure to sunlight. They fade even more with direct uv contact. There isn't any real way to tell how much it takes to fade them from brand to brand; but that's also a part of the definition. To put it simply, they are the lowest lightfastness rating on a scale from "idunno goodluck" to "this painting will outlive your greatgrandchildren".

I think Shinhan shouldn't use so many fugitive pignents while calling it professional grade watercolor. There should also be more single pigment colors in the range. That being said, a clerk at my art supply store warned me once that the term "professional" was not a certified classification like "organic" or "hypo-allergenic". So technically, he said that means companies can slap "professional" on any quality paint they want and they often do as a marketing ploy. After learning that, I became a label reader, focusing on the quality of the paint's contents instead of the brand's classifications which apparently, could be marketing hype.

So true, same with "artists " it can mean anything lol! Still, these were a surprisingly good bang for the buck.

I think these would be an ok set for card makers, but wouldn’t be my first choice for sure. I’m certainly not an accomplished artist like Lindsey, she’s awesome! I think Mission Gold or White Nights pans would be my first two choices, if I were just starting out and wanted an economically priced artist grade set.

Linda Anne Calderone While out of town for the 4th of July, I picked up the Van Gogh 12 half pan set on sale for $20 at Artist & Craftsman art supply store. www.artistcraftsman.com I ended up being too busy to try out the set while I was away but I've been working with it since I got back and I think it would make a nice entry level set for a newbie.

I think air quotes are not necessary with shinhan. From my experience they produce good quality. Shinhan has another higher end watercolor brand which is the PWC.

Mozart gansai paints are similarly priced full pans with a tin that's solidly better than cotman, if you're looking for recommendations. If you had the money, I'd get both, as Mozart and this set have few overlapping colors.
