Hello, SinisterSophie. Thank you. 🙏🎨😊

wow, salamat po. Sa katagalan ko na rin po siguro kasi itong ginagawa kaya nasanay na po po. dami narin na review na paints dito, 60 na ata. hehe

Hi John. Welcome to my channel. Thank you for appreciating my work and for following the process. I haven't heard of the Yasutomo NiJi, but it sounds Japanese. I've checked some online stores, and cant find one yet. I'll put this on the list of the paints to watch out for, as I'm very curious to try out paints from all over the world. 😊🙏

Glad you like them, Melissa! I feel relief knowing you appreciate our environment. there was one time, a subscriber asked me to get a dedicated microphone so as she'd only hear my voice and not be bothered by environmental "noises" .. i get her point, but i felt sad about my nature and surroundings. I believe they don't add negatively to the video.. I am not a singer doing covers either.. hehe. but, sincerely, thank you, Melissa!

@@AllanJayQuesada you are more than welcome! My mother-in-law is from the Philippines and she misses visiting her family because of covid19. When she would visit, she would bring back video of the trip, and no matter where she was there was nature. I grew up on a farm in Kansas, so I had nature surrounding me as I grew. It's the most important part of our world! I'm happy you are proud to share these beautiful sounds. Thank you!

@@fantastictoad8853 yes, we should be proud of both our heritage and nature. Have a great and safe week ahead, Melissa. 🥰

Me too! I recorder at 7am, so the roosters were also in. hehe

I agree to that. One can learn more on a smaller palette with 12 colors to 16 to 24 to 28 colors as the maximum. painting language speaks more about color mixing. It's the magic of the medium. There are only special cases when you'll be needing more colors on the side, like if you have specific subjests that need distinct colors that couldn't be easily relicated like those of Daniel Smith Primatek and colors with mica.

Thank you. I'm happy it is helpful to you. 😊🙏

Thank you! im still excited till now.haha

I watch his reviews mostly for the little landscapes as well lol. It always amazes me how he gets such a nice detailed scene in such a small space.

Hi just a cat who can type. Thank you for watching and im glad that you love the sampling part. :) Yes what you said was right. very like pretty excellent, but this one's cheaper.. so a better catch i think.

hi waymire01. Thank you for the appreciation. honestly, it is easier to work on smaller pieces like this as you have a better grasp on your composition and all. just fun to do, and i hope you could also enjoy and make card landscapes like these. :)

I'm glad that you enjoyed it and at the same time you find it helpful. Thank you for watching. 🙏🎨🖌️

Hi Michael Dignelli! Im happy to know that you enjoy my channel and Im more happy to find out that you have now lots of paints to use! hahaha. I have some tutorial videos here, i made some playlist for lanscapes, florals and portraiture,.. you might wanna check them out if you have time. :)

the comparison portion! :)

Thank you so much! glad you like it, Petra.

Thanka fpr watching, Franklin. 🥰🖌️

Happy to hear that! the reviews are really meant to help and at the same time relax the viewers and me as well .:)

Welcome aboard! Thank you for the kind words and support, Charmaine. Expect more watercolor reviews in the coming weeks, both student grades and professional grades. :) Did you know that i only started exploring this style in 2018? just continue practicing and focusing on the overall look of the work, less about the tiny details, those are the 2 tips for this style. :) Thank you and have a great week ahead. :-)

Thanks for appreciating my work po. 🙏 Will have that this May po. I bought a set from Genelyn Sandaga. 😊

Thank you. Yes, they're not bad at all. 😊 Have a great too! 🙏

Thank you so much. 🖌️🎨🙏🥰

thank you so much, Adbeel. :)

Ooh. Hehehe. 🙏😊🥰

Thank you so much for the kind words. 😀

🥰🎨🖌️

Thank you. 🎨🙏😉

⚰️🕯️📖

ok lang yan, matipid kasi talaga ang watercolor. kaya rin siguro nasabi mo na permanent and acrylic gouache eh dahil sa maya acrylic ito, so parang plasticizer yun. kanya kanyang preference din, and maganda rin na brand yang gamit mo. Holbein from Japan. enjoy! :)

hehhehe. bihira nalang makapag gawa ng content. salamat po!

Thank you so much for the appreciation. 🥰🙏🎨🖌️

Yes, they're nice to use i agree. 😊

Thanks for watching!

It really is! It's cool to see how many great stuff with great prices become reachable to us.

You're welcome 😊 and thanks din po for watching. :)

jhahaha. yan nga po ang worry, ko sobrang paspasan na sa comparison portion at ayaw ko na palampasin ng 30mins ang reviews, lalo na kung 24 color set lang. hehe

Hi ezrha. Thank you so much! yes, I actually have bought the Sunny watercolors. it is waiting on queue to be reviewed. I'm excited to unbox it. :)

Yes, it is. Lalo for sketchbooks, and hobby ok na ok na ito. Will go along way na. By now, for sure ineenjoy mo na siya. 🎨

Thanks for the idea! the birds live in our neigbor's tree, around 4 meters away my window. sometimes they perch on my window grilles.. When i catch them with my phone, i would paint them/ :)

Oh, yung kamukha ng Sonnet? Hahah. Na intrigue nga ako jan kaya gusto ko itry. Sige po, pag nagka pera ulit. Naubos kasi nitong 5.5 eh. Hahaha

Would love to do that experiement in time.. But knowing cheap paints, they usually crack when dried in pans. a quick fix i so is my adding small drops or honey or glycerin. :)

Hi Eula. Sorry for my late reply. You prolly have chosen your 1st set by now. Im happy that the videos help you somehow. 😊 painting. 🙏 🎨

do you have the links please?

hello. unfortunately, I don't paint with shimmers, metallic and pearlescents etc. I'm not sure if id be able to get to hold of the metallic of Ruben for that reason.. however, if it sparks instantly, or if someone lends me his set, I'm ok review it. I've heard great things about it though. better than coliro.

Yes, do not expect much about lightfastness if the paints are too cheap and if the pigments arent identified. :)

I see alot of requests on Mont Marte Review... however, when i check online, there are also lots of different packagings.. now, im confused which one to choose. hahha

Ps: i bought the Pretty Excelent after your review and now i want this version. (And give the old one to my younger siblings)

Hi. Yes, I've been really busy lately. The birds are free. They're not caged. So sometimes, they're loud, Sometimes they're not around. The roostets are my neighbor's. One time if i get a nice video of them, ill try to show them here. They perch on a tree near my window and sometimes on the mesh too. 😊

this set is cheap. just save up and in no time, you may have them. :)

Yan po yung parang Simbalion ang hitsura ano po? Damj nga po nag rerequest niyan. Mas maganda raw ata siya sa Simbalion.. sige po, silipin ko po sa Shopee. 🙏

mayroon din po ng blocks, mas popular po siya sa tiktok pero walang reviews po pero mayroon din pong cakes po. 290php po siya sa shopee 😅

blocks po ata ang tawag ng owner sa halfpan set po niya 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada Sunny Watercolor Block po

May links po kayo?

Paper used is at 6:39 😊

naubos na yung sa isang store.. same lang po ba nung sa tinda ni Genelyn Sandaga?

@@AllanJayQuesada opo

@@gryla5290 ah sige. Check ko po yan. Thank you. 🥰

Not yet too dedicated, but I have one landscapes sa tutorials playlist ko, where i think ive made atmospheric skypart.

@@AllanJayQuesada nice nice

hmmm.. Ive lost count but, i believe I now have over 70 sets of watercolors. some of the brands, ive completed the range like the Mgraham and Sennelier. i also have 150 tubes of DS. quite a lot for lifetime use.heheh

I have them, both tubes and pans, but im saving them a bit for last. Schmincke is one of the best. 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada ok. I will wait. I have 13 of schmincke hoardom, two daniel smith, one mission. mission and daniel smith I got because the specific colours I wanted were sold out by schmincke at that time (during lockdown). I love them, but I wonder about the differences. I only know, I didn't like Winsor Newton. First, because I had trouble mixing with the small 12 colour starter set (cadm.red and casm. yellow, the blues... :-( ) and the two tubes I got whlie I was just starting out - never liked to use them (maybe because they were opaque and I didn't know, what that means at that time??) . Now I am waiting for your experience and point of view

@@nursen2106 hmm. Interesting! At first, I wasn't very much 'happy' with Schmincke .. maybe felt a bit off cause the price here in my country is much higher. Thanks to the internet i discovered Jackson's Art where prices could go to almost half cheaper especially when on Promotion sale like this season.. when i got to collect more of their colors, especially the tube colors, ive learned to loved them more. I've really been curious about their new super granulating colors, but sadly, those are available only in 15ml or sets, so, not yet this time. I got the Schmincke dot cards but it doesnt yet include the new colors.. 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada If you wouldn't live so far away, I would send you 3 or five tubes. just, so you can test them. But Philippines... that is far. If I were you, I wouldn't order from that far. But on you channel that is a bit your content. but still, not cheap (I have heard, the dot cards are not that fun wo swatch, because it the amount of dry colour is very small. but that is only a second hand opinion.)

@@nursen2106 thank you appreciate it. 🙏 yeah you're right. It's not practical yet. Im not sure if they're gonna release them in halfpans soonbor 5ml tubes. Maybe when that time comes, id be able to test them all out. 🙏😊😊

Parang kakambal pa nga eh. Hahaha. Parehong pareho, iba lang hulma.😊🎨

@@AllanJayQuesada pero maganda yung design ng palette niya compare sa Pretty.. Yung PE kase plastic yung lalagya ng mga cakes hehehe

Hi. Very close po. Medyo mas transparent and cleaner to use po itong nasa tin container. Pero di naman nalalayo. 😊

Thank you po sir! I'm a fine arts freshman, muntik ko na bilhin pareho eh pareho lang namaj ng colors pala HAAHAHAA sonnet 24 colors nalang po binili ko tysm?

@@jerryroxas6904 kung bibili ka po ng Sonnet 24s from my store, ok na yun kasi full pans yun. Buong schooling mo, di mo pa pa mauubos yon. Sulit. 😊

@@AllanJayQuesada hala sir jaan nga po ako bibili hehe. Thank you po! Kakaorder ko lang po

hi. Unfortunately, Shopee doesnt ship (yet) to outside Philippines. :( But you may checkout Aliexpress. :)

"Barteen Art Store" on Aliexpress has them.

helloo, I'm not Allan, but tracing can be both considered cheating and not. Let me explain. Tracing is okay for practice, learning and all that, but tracing is not okay if you claim the art as yours and give NO credit to the photo, art, reference, or whatever it is you traced. Tracing is also okay if it's YOUR art that you are tracing. Ex. • you trace your sketch to move it to another canvas to maybe paint on. • you trace your traditional drawing to do it digitally. In a way it's kinda like cheating but not? it's more of having the answer key for certain things. idk. I wouldn't call it cheating, more of "shortcut". It really depends on what you're tracing and for what. Tho, tracing won't help you improve too much, so don't do that (at least not for a long period of time) unless you've learned the basics(?) or just want to study things like how paints work or whatever. And again, claiming the art as yours without giving credit to the reference/photo you traced. Keep in mind that there are artworks that look so real and as if they're traced, but I'm sure most of it is hard work. If not, shame on them, that's if they don't admit to tracing.

Hi Lei. I agree on everything that snul sim said. But in addition, tracing is literally just a shortcut of the drawing part. Sometimes, we do it in school or even at work, if the skill involved is not about drawing,.. for example, coloring or painting is the focus.. so, you trace to make the process faster. but ofcourse if you need to train your self to draw, go the classic way. If you are tracing someone else' art , and not credit him after, and eventually proclaim the work as yours, then that for me is cheating. You know, "cheating" is the guilt we built in our conscience, so in the end of the day, it is you and your judgement that'll really tell if it is or not a reason to be really guilty of. hehe

Hmmm. I always recommend the best items that one can easily afford (artist grade if possible).. doesn't mattet if beginners or not so, for as long as not a young child or a very 1st timer.. For the 1500-2000 budget, that's pretty much good enough amount to get your self decent artist grade paints.. so, you have the following otions (and most are available at my Shopee Store. 😉) 1. Daniel Smith halfpans (around 8pans) 220php - 300php per halfpan 2. Holbein Sets ( 12 halfpans set -1200php and 12 5ml set 1799php) 3. White Nights (12 full pans 1499php, 12 10ml tubes 1629php) 4. Sennelier (12 halfpans set - 1399php) 5. Marie's Masters (24 tubes 9ml 1389php) Also have DaVinci, Utrecht, Mijello, Qor and more. On quality Student grades, the following are good: 1. Sonnet 24 fullpans set at 985php 2. VanGogh 15 halfpans set with brush at 1699php And more. Hindi talaga ako nag rerecommend ng mga walang pigment codes pag ganyang may enough budget na.😉 shopee.ph/allanjayquesada?smtt=0.0.9

@@AllanJayQuesada Wow, thank you so much for the reply! I've been a watcher of yours since I got into watercolor (last year), it's really an honor. I have checked your shop before, and I will definitely think about which I'd buy amongst your recommendations. (if they are available in your shop, I will definitely buy there 😊💕) PS. you are amazing and one of the best watercolor channels I've seen/watched in KZfaq. (I know dozens, perhaps almost half a hundred haha.) Keep up the good work, we support you!💝

Sorry I don't understand. Do you mean, because the product was just given to me for free? So, I shouldn't be making monetization from it? But, I put effort on the video too. I used other resources too, that aren't free. I used time, which is not free as well.Recording it took me 2 hrs and editing/processing takes atleast 5hrs. It's not that easy all time. I believe, through the video, some folks get helped with their choices. Some are relaxed watching it too. Please explain so i could understand. Thanks.

You obviously do not know how much (or actually how little) money small youtubers like Allan make, and what all needs to be invested to even make videos that are high quality enough to generate enough views to make any kind of money on them.

It was supposedly therapeutic audio from a spa playlist.. but i understand that music choice is subjective. This music is present in most of my recent videos, so it's a shame. Anyways, you may just lower down the volume, anyways my voice i think is still loud 😊
