It is just beautiful. I have a 24 piece set, but not that one. I like them and I do not mix colors to much,but when I do, I mix up a batch and store that in small containers. There is something about swatching paints that I find very satisfying and relaxing. Stay well and remain positive.

Thank you for your fab swatching. To be clear, Miyazaki may have used this palette for sketching, but the actual anime frames were painted with poster paints ( eg Nicker) before digitizing the image. Poster paints have all the attributes that are needed as you mentioned, are more like gouache but much more fluid and not so portable and suffer from poor lightfastness.

This set is so gorgeous! I would say that it is a well balanced set for people who paint anime. I would think that anyone who was painting a lot of nature scenes might struggle with the stunning vibrancy of some of the colors! I did find it interesting that you said the paints were dry because a lot of them still looked kinda wet in their little pans.
@MeowMeowKapow4 жыл бұрын
Great points! But there are some very toned-down colors in there too, like the yellow grey or whatever it’s called, which is sort of a creamy light brown. I imagine it would be great for trees somehow. And yeah! They still look glossy and juicy but I swear they’re solid and completely dry to the touch!

I understand the logic behind this palette and you pretty much echoed my thoughts about not having to remix every color being useful for animation. (I thought the same when I was going to do a Comic in watercolor.) However, I’m not worried about mud like a lot of artists have been taught to be. 1, I find a lot of “mud” quite beautiful and more accurate to the colors in our world. Look at any picture of a swamp, and indeed, there’s mud there. I genuinely don’t see the problem with mud. So, no, I’m not a single pigment girl. 😂 However, I use a limited palette because lots of colors make things complicated and it’s cheaper to maintain. But I have added 2 convenience colors to my 12 color palette... indigo and quinacridone violet. (Plus I have 2 greens.) I might make it 13 color palette and add Daniel Smith’s moon glow... I will say that I don’t like colors with added white, but that’s mostly because I haven’t really used them, so I don’t know how to use them. But yeah, I can understand the logic of this set... even if it’d be too complicated for me to use. And I think even for those artists who are terrified of mud they could easily avoid it with this set.
@godzandheros4 жыл бұрын
Creating muddy colours is GREAT for landscape and urban sketching/plein air work, but not so great for character design. That's why a lot of artists are "worried" about it (though I feel a lot of that worry stems from not having a full understanding of colour theory either, but that's another conversation all together).
@curiousorigins4 жыл бұрын
@@godzandheros Oops, I guess I'm using colors wrong. I often use mud in my character designs. Especially when mimicking leather,. 😂 I will agree that mud has a time and place... like not in the middle of the sky, or an awkward dark spot on a white dress.
@godzandheros4 жыл бұрын
@@curiousorigins Well obviously browns will be used for characters by default, what I mean is that for painting scenery it doesn't really matter if your colour gets dulled slightly (muddying up) by mixing colours together because nature isn't always bright colours everywhere. For character work, you want to keep those colours clean, crisp, and vibrant and you want to avoid unintentional neutralization or dulling of colour because you accidentally mixed two colours you thought would be safe but one contained a pigment that would be it's complimentary colour and that colour is now less impactful as you expected it to be. You see what I'm saying?
@curiousorigins4 жыл бұрын

I don't know much about the Holbein brand, but usually watercolour paints shrink because there are fewer fillers and also the reason why so many paints look dark/almost black in pans is because of high pigment concentration. Does that mean Holbein watercolours have fillers in them and are less pigmented?

Its a higher quality version of the prima confection series.. same concept and one that a lot of watercolor reviewers didn't understand. I came from acrylic decorative painting (also called tole painting) where we use bottled light body acrylics.. almost all of them are designer colors (convenience colors) which also change every year based on trends. The entire idea is to simply reach for a color and use it with the only mixing involved being multiloading on the brush and glazing. It was not uncommon for an artist to have a hundred colors in their collection. Sets were designed to coordinate with each other. So while the watercolor purists were freaking out because they had three or even four pigments in a shade with a cutesy name.. I understood completely. For the record I do appreciate a traditional mixing palette and in fact paint with that set up most often in watercolor with a seven to twelve color palette of single pigment transparent shades. BUT I also own a 48 color set that I can use in the same way as this, with basically no mixing necessary other than layering or blending on the paper. It's nice sometimes.. especially in conjunction with a pen and ink work.

Weird colour choices for me. I personally don't find it balanced at all. So many blues and yellows yet so little reds. For my preferences, it's pointless to have that huge amount of mixed greens when the set already has lots of blues and yellow. I understand the convenience colours and all but... remove a blue and add another red (not that pinkish and cold and not that warm and orangeish, something in the middle) and maybe remove a green and add a bluish violet like dioxacine violet to be able to mix darker blues and Payne's grey. Maybe I'm too picky.
