I agree! Although i like that companies will send ppl free things to try and do affiliate links, I think in some ways that makes a lot of people not say what they really feel about products. And some companies have contracts that say you can’t say negative things about their company. I’m not a fan of that at all.

Thanks!

@@thehomegrownartist214 they are student paints that should be judged as student paints of course they aren’t as good as artist paint that’s why they’re student paints. Compared to other student paints these are really good watercolors. If they were labeled as artist grade then I could see why you are so negative about them in your review, but they aren’t.

@@chrisistired6083 im sorry you took this as negative, however it was just my honest review. And althroughoutvthe video i did compare them to other student grade paints. And the piont of review for student grade paints is to see how close they are to artist grade paint which is why reviewers compare them. Also, I did say that they are good for the price, told arteza they improved, and overall like these paints. People who want to get into watercolor tend to start off in with student grade paints, and if thos paint dont mix well or act so different it can be a hard transition to artist grade paints that have lightfast ratings and ligment information so that you can sell originals. Anyway, i just want tk say i wasnt tryinv to be negative in anyway, just being honest. I stick by my review.

Yes I agree! Thanks for watching!!

That’s what I did, they are having a sale for the 36 pan set and it wasn’t much more than the empty palette so I ended up getting it.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked the review! And yea the views on my videos grow really slow. It has always been that way as I do it just for fun 😊

I love watching a good swatch too 😉

Yes thank you!

They are student paint so yeah that’s what they are for they aren’t artist paints like what she’s comparing to

@@idkman6360 im comparing to artist grade somewhat because many watercolor artist start off with student grade paints and then move up to artist grade. But i only do so for those wanting to be traditional watercolorists. I play with many paints like this in my journal and just doodling all the time. I see no problem with it. But for professional artists who sell their work, these would not be great. I hope you realize that many reviewers in general compare all student grade paints to other student grade paints and artists grade paints because we want to spend our money on paints that are cheapest but closest to artist quality.

Yea Van Gogh is waaay better! And you get the pigment and LF info.

I like the mission gold set where you get 36 colors and the pallet to go with it. They aren’t student grade but for

Arteza student grade is not bad but it’s relatively the same as Sakura koi. You def can tell it’s student grade.

@@thehomegrownartist214 Oh God, thankyou so much, I will definitely take your recommendation for my references

@@thehomegrownartist214 Anyway, thankyou again, I'm taking paul rubens, van gogh, and schmincke at the end because of your recommendation, I'm buying the "share in pan" set because for me it is much more affordable, I want to take mission gold set but sadly in the online store that I know it's already sold out xD, again, thankyou for the recommendation, I look forward to test it out myself when it came, you just gained a new subscriber ❤️

Glad I could help! And yay thank you 🙏

They dried really chalky and cracked, they were super hard to rewet, and were not very pigmented. However I will say that was over a year ago. They may have made some changes.

Right, they do not seem to be chalky, but rather, opaque. That can also be due to the filler in the paints, not just how finely the pigments are ground. Though, opacity is not a general property that determines quality, as some pigments are just opaque.

When I say chalky I mean chalky due to fillers. And these aren’t the most chalky inexpensive paints I have ever tried but they are chalky to me in mass tone glazes. My artist quality paint from varying brands does not do this at all unless they are opaque and even then they aren’t chalky. However like I said these are good paints for the price!

When it comes to Watercolors, most are transparent. When the entire set gives off that “opaque” as you say film, it’s usually fillers and can become a problem when glazing or when you want a juicy pigment pay off.

TheHomegrownArtist would you recommend these to a beginner like me? I’m looking for okay-quality cheap paints, not necessarily professional grade.

Team Leo! ...I'd go for Van Gogh, Winsor and Newton Cotman, or Daler Rowney Aquafine for affordable student quality paints, but if you want to up grade to more professional paint thats still affordable, i like White Nights. 🤗
