Hi Emma. The sponge is for blotting your brush. These are really nice paints. I’ve given the smaller version to grandkids for when they travel. IKEA has a little portable lap desk, combo art case thingy (?), and those pack up nicely! My daughter got me one to use plein air! And they are only $10-12 at IKEA. Thanks for your videos. A Canadian Granny of 9!

The end of the paint brush is flat so you could use that for scratching your painting just before it dries instead of using white paint. It looks like a lovely paint set.

This was great, thank you, and yes the sponge is for blotting.

@DeborahHillman-gr8uo 10 ай бұрын

Hi Emma… You are right, the sponge is for blotting. These colors look amazing! I just bought the blue one last month. If I saw this I would have gotten this one! I love all the soft pastels! Thanks for showing us!

@stephh7863 10 ай бұрын

I have a Van Gogh set of pearlescents and metallics that come with a brush that looks like it has a similar flat end. In the case of the Van Gogh set the brush is designed to lift the pans out so they can be replaced or rearranged. It may be that Paul Rubens have decided to do similar.

@karendirmish2696 10 ай бұрын

The colors were lovely, packaging easy and I have never used Meiliang paints before. I will look for them now. I enjoy Paul Rubins products so I’ll look for them. Thanks as always for teaching me so much. Karen Dirmish, learner!

I think that these watercolors look really nice 👍. I’m not into lightfastness so these would be for play. Expensive watercolors seem to be treated more precious and with these, I could let go. Thank you 🙏 for a great review and demo.❤

Please Emma think of me when thinking of donating palettes onwards as I’m an Aussie no wage Due to permanently injured Both Physically and Emotionally Due to work place bullied incident & No fault of my own . 😔 my art is now a form of Emotional Support & physio therapy therapy tied in together , my husband is trying really hard to pay all bills & keep up house mortgage also . So any help in way of donated art supplies are always held in the highest Gratitude 🙏 & hugely appreciated also , in genuine interest in helping me in this way please reach out through these messages . As I have no wage at all I am unable to afford even postage costs 😔 sorry 😣

I'm so glad you made this video! I bought the 36 colour set last year when I started watercolour and had no idea if they were any good. I've really enjoyed painting with it, even though I'm still a bit bothered that the tin arrived quite damaged 🙄 I'll probably order this one too. Thanks for the awesome videos!

After trying every single watercolor paint there is on the market, I have settled with QOR, they are the best, not as expensive as the ultra high end but better in quality. This looks like a fun palette to try, but honestly there are no comparison to QOR. I’m going to get this just to see ….the bloom was great, so I’ll try especially at the price point.

Hi Emma! This was a GREAT- informative video. Concise and to the point. I’m going to buy the set. I’m really curious, you use several different palettes, how or why do you use or change to a diff pallet? P.S. Yes the sponge is used for blotting- 🤓🎶🌷

This is the same standard Semi Art pallet (ali express for waaaay less than 35 us dollars ) that Art Philosophy sells for a fortune in 'mood' pallets with Mungyo paints also. Living in Thailand and having ordered them all as here, it is cheap, I think they are all othe same or very similar. You can choose metallic paints included or not. They are all great , specially for beginners and people who cannot afford professional colours. The exact same box and all.

Hi Emma, thanks for this review and swatching. I was looking at these recently. Do you think the 36 and 48 palettes would have the updated pigments and quality you found in the 52 palette? My pocketbook would like the smaller palettes 😉💜 Thanks!!

Hi Emma. In one of the monthly boxes you included a pink tape. It’s the best tape I’ve ever used. Is there anyway I can purchase some of your pink tape. Please let me know!! Thanks for much!! Ginger

Thank you for this review. I just have something from Michael's... Artist's choice or something like that. Looking for something to upgrade to. May be too many colors for me at this point though... I'll have to think about it. But definitely very affordable. :) It looked like you used one of the included pieces of water color paper for the image at the end. How did the paper perform?

Looks like a lovely palette of colors. Unfortunately I don't think this is truly a non-toxic selection as advertised. At the very least it contains two Cobalt colors. And I have no idea what heavy metals could be in the other pigments. That's one issue of having such a large selection. it's difficult to analyze the ingredients of each color, when there are so many, for toxicity and sustainability.

@emotionalsupportpaintbrush 10 ай бұрын

I wasn’t impressed w these. They dry kinda chalky. I think they are hitting influencers in a major advertising burst. Honestly just buy 6 primaries of a good brand and it’s all u need. I sent mine back. Don’t waste your money.

@EmmaLefebvre 10 ай бұрын

Really? I didn’t find them chalky at all! I do support buying a quality limited palette as well.

You just 'happen' to have a matching Paul Ruben's paper there by mere coincidence? Well, isn't that nice. If you are paid for promoting say so instead of trying to dumb out the people who watch this. Mind you the last time I was here a devoted follower send you a very expensive watercolor pallette and you gifted it to your niece.
