I don't even use watercolours I just find these videos so nice to watch
If you continue to watch...you will buy paint...eventually...watercolor is kinda like dope.
It always makes me happy to see people enjoying paints from my country
I LOVE these paints from your country 😍 I’ve managed to cram 40 into an old metal palette box 😂
I love them as well! I have 3 so far and waiting for my box of several more to arrive from Jackson's! I'm in Nashville, Tn.
@@rhondarea9124 …I hope some of the colours you’re getting are earth tones because they’re amazing, especially quinacridone gold and mummy transparent red. I’m excited for you 😂
@@MoonSpinners Yes! I ordered Goethite, Natural sienna Monte Amiata, sepia, and hematite (brown shade). I have indanthrone blue and phthalo turquoise and pyrrole red in the bag as well. :) so excited!
@@rhondarea9124 …oh what a fabulous selection. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. 👍🤗
Thank you Denise for mentioning if the pigments were non-toxic or not.
I'm glad it's helpful information, Jennifer!
Just when I had convinced myself I don't need another brand of watercolor. Dang! These are beautiful. Thank you for another wonderful swatching video. No one else does them so beautifully.
Their version of potters pink is my favorite! It’s definitely pink and makes great mixes.
So many of the Roman Szmal paints have a subtle, glowing kinda pastel softness thing going on that sets them apart from other brands. If they ever release tube versions of their paint I'm gonna drop like $500 bucks without hesitation. Dooooo eetttt Roman! DOOOOOEEETT!
Well Denise, I saw that you had posted a video over on Instagram! But no notification here on CZcams! I am sure that you are being messed with by the algorithm!!! I am a real fan of your works. I enjoy watching your videos and seeing your watercolor journey is a true highlight to any day that you post a video! I currently have no plans to buy more paint. I do enjoy watching you put them through the paces and swatches. I only tried 3 primary colors when I was looking for a new paint brand, I just thought I wanted an easier to get brand and these were only available online and at the time they did not have many reviews, anywhere! Thank you for continuing to expand our knowledge of paints and their properties. You are truly inspirational and so generous with your painting expertise. Please continue to create and share, be safe out there, now have a lovely day!
I just re-watched and a year later I am still impressed by your acumen!
Well heck Denise, now I want potters pink, misty morning and perylene green deep!
Sorry! They're all such cool colors!
@@InLiquidColor yes! I had been eyeing misty morning for a while, so I am quite easily influenced xD
Hi Denise, great video! I read a comment from one of your viewers that I found extremely helpful regarding a palette for RS watercolors… After hearing that metal palettes can sometimes react with natural mineral colors over time (like Malachite and Azurite), I began searching for a plastic palette. The Mijello 33 watercolor palette (sold on Amazon) works perfectly when you remove the tray for the 33 colors and affix the pans to the bottom section using sticky tack. It also leaves lots of room to add pans to your collection over time. Just wanted to share, and thanks for the great content!
Roman Szmal is my 2nd favorite watercolor line behind my Daniel Smith paints (and I have them all...lol). They’re fantastic!
I'm happy to see you're still intrigued by the Roman Szmal line. I remember when you first reviewed them you were a bit put off by how generously they flowed. I have a set of their colors which includes Mineral Violet and Shadow Violet and I agree, the Shadow Violet is one of my absolute favorite colors out of all my watercolors. Thanks for sharing your palette!
I *might* have forgotten my struggles with them when I saw all the pretty granulation and ordered more 😅 I'm hoping that I enjoy using them in practice haha. But the shadow violet is on my main palette now as well, so at very least, that one is sticking around.
I’m not a watercolor painter but I love these videos. They’re so calming and I love learning about different pigments
I trust your pigment information more than anyone’s, and love how you always talk about toxicity, as well as granulation, lightfastness, etc. I bought your curated palette from DaVinci back when that was first released, and have taken all your Skillshare classes. If there was ever an artist that absolutely needed to dive into making their own line of watercolors, it’s you. If you ever go that route I’ll be first in line to buy them.
Thank you for all the kind words and support, Alisha! I would love to make my own paints, but unfortunately due to chronic shoulder pain, i cannot mull paints by hand :( Oh that I wish I could! Luckily, there are some amazing options out there :)
I enjoy watching the colour swatching and the pigment information is always interesting
What a lovely selection! I want basically all of these. I'm not buying anytime soon (I paid triple rent this month, and have two more months of double rent - je suis broke AF), but my wish list is very, very long. I do wish they came in tubes... When Roman Szmal launches tubes, I'll be in real, serious trouble 😂
Ditto on the tubes, its the only thing holding me back..
@@waymire01 I suspect I might actually end up owning the entire darn range once they start doing tubes. My wallet is weeping preemptively.
@@FaerieDust I just hope they don't jack up the price as they become more popular...
I'm also waiting for the tubes. I currently have three pans and I'm in love.
I always like watching you swatch paint so soothing.
These paints move so beautifully. And I could tell you really enjoyed swatching them, you were pushing and reapplying that paint with delicate delight. 😊
Your reviews are exceptional! Love all you know and I learn so much! Thank you!
these colors are so beautiful! Looks like these are going onto my christmas wishlist!
this kind of swatching is so interesting to watch because of how much these paints move
Oh darn, here I go again. Now I need more paint. These are gorgeous, especially love the Misty Morning. Thank you Denise for being so informative about all the specs that explain each mixture of colors. Time to go shopping, :)
What a gorgeous and unique palette thanks for sharing!
Beautiful swatches!
Thank you, Denise! The colours are beautiful! 😍🧡❤
I love that you touch on the toxicity of different paints and pigments!
I clicked so fast when I got the notification!!! It’s a beautiful palette Denise! I loved your color choices from the Roman Szmal collection!
I have a bunch of this brand. I thought Goethite was an icky color until I got the RS version and now I use it all the time. They have fantastic earth tones and specialty colors and beautiful vibrant reds.
I admit it, I hit "like" before I even started the video, because I'm so excited to see you cover these paints. They were an irresistible purchase a few weeks ago, so I already have a small palette-ful, but I might not be able to resist getting a few more.
So beautiful!
Oh my. I’m DROOLING. I’m probably not going to buy these because the last thing I need is more paint, but thank you for the lovely swatches!
Just a quick note; a better DS comparison for Mineral Violet might be Imperial Purple. It’s PB29 and PV19 just like Rose of Ultramarine, but it leans more to the blue pigment, just like this color.
Such - pretty swatch video! Thank you for your explanations of each color and their properties. Very informative.❤
Mineral Violet and Misty Morning are so beautiful! I do not own any of their paints yet but those will definitely be on my wishlist.
Those greens were beautiful!
Thank you for this! Just a note - placing pans in the freezer for a bit solves the unwrapping issue for softer paints. 😊
Roman Szmal is one of my favorite brands. I was particularly interested in which ones were toxic. Between you and Sarah Burns I have decided not to paint with any toxic colors outside. For studio painting I am working out a way to properly dispose of them. Thank you Denise!
Emily, how can we dispose properly of these toxic pigments in our water jars ? I guess we just can’t flush in the sink or the toilet ?
Thank you in advance 🙏
@@chrissie4452 the best thing that I know of is to let your paint water settle overnight. Poor off the water on the top. Most of the heavy metals settle at the bottom. Then get a large container. I am going to use an empty kitty litter plastic jug. Then pour the rest of your water in there. Once it’s filled up you can take your toxic water to a hazardous waste facility that will dispose of i properly for you.
I have had a gravel bucket outside of my studio, it is quite deep and the holes in the bottom have canvas covering them. I dump my paint waters into this bucket and the water evaporates. This does leave colored rocks behind, but these can be painted on to create rocks of kindness. Little treasures to leave about your own town to bring a small joy to others lives.
I have most of these colours, they are so lovely! I really appreciated your insight on pigment toxicity, so many people have no idea and do silly things like lick their brushes or let their pets drink paint water 😩
I haven’t normally had issues with the wrappers sticking due to my dry climate but my last lot were quite sticky. I read that Roman suggests ripping the paper off quickly like a wax strip rather than a slow peel to avoid sticking.
That's a huge trigger for me :( If you want to risk your own health by licking your brushes, I can't stop you. But please don't poison your pets. I don't understand why people think its cute to let their cats drink paint water
I agree! Once I caught my rat on my table drinking my paint water, and since then the toxicity of my paints, I feel like it isn't mentioned enough.
@@InLiquidColor Oh me too! I never leave my paint water unattended without a lid, and never overnight. I love my kitty so much, and would never take chances with his health!
I was waiting eagerly for you to make a Roman szmal palette! YAAAY
Just turned off my multi-tasking, to watch this! :-D I've been building my Roman Szmal palette, now that Jackson's is able to ship more affordably. Super excited to see yours, Denise!
thanks as always, denise !!!
I own a number of Roman Szmal pans, including some of the colours you picked for your palette. The only ones that were duds for me were the opaque milky paints that I got on a whim (Lavender, Sky Blue), and that was really my own fault - it's a matter of personal taste, not the quality of the paints themselves.
I too really enjoy playing around with the Shadow Violet, and the Przybysz Grey is a personal favourite.
Another lovely video! We love you Denise 💛 hope you're doing well 💛
This was a great review, loved the video. Thank you!
Your voice is so soothing
As always, great video!
I’m so intrigued by so many of their colors; Having a perylene that scans true would be such a welcome addition.
I have my fingers crossed for that green! I'm hoping it wasn't a fluke haha.
Your palette is serious eye candy. I have Szmal's Perylene Green, Viridian and Transparent Pyrrole Orange. A lot of your colors are on my pigments to get list so it was nice to see them being used.
I am planning on getting Cobalt Turquoise, Cherry Quin Red, Potters Pink, and Aquarius grey from Roman Szmal to round out my palette. Thanks for sharing!😊
i really like the way you swatched these paints it’s very loose and relaxing. also i didnt know mars black was magnetic! thats so cool!
Thanks for the review!
Thank you! I have been dithering about selecting a palette of these paints and which to choose. I did want to mention that recently, I have started to use graphite grey in my palette because I really enjoy working with pencils, sometimes over my watercolor painting or sometimes as parted of a very muted, limited palette. The color mixes have been interesting and unlike solid patches of black, the dark areas using graphite grey are much more interesting, IMO.
Beautiful video - thank you! I'd love to try that Potters Pink, Misty Morning, Shadow Violet and Ocean Blue!!
Thank you for this wonderful and educational video. I'm new to watercolor as a hobby and find this information fascinating.
i like the misty morning!
I love your Swatching videos...
Thank you for the useful information. Especially discussing pigment toxicity.
Love watching your swatching videos - unfortunately, I then go right into 'I must have this' mode. You can never have too many new colors. Your description and thorough research on these paints really sets your videos apart from others. Cheers!
Thank you Barb!
I love pallete swatching!
Always just so satisfying to watch and to listen to.. I've had it played over and over while i was working tonight. It's been a year since I've had my Roman Szmal, yet i haven't used them yet. Now, I'm even more excited to try mine out because most of the colors in your palette, i also have. 😊🥰
Thank you, Allan! So glad you enjoyed it, and I hope you have fun with your own collection!
@@InLiquidColor I'm sure to enjoy it. And, i love your zoomed in swatching. 😊
Your videos are awesome. I'm learning a lot
So excited to see you upload! I always look forward to your videos, and I've been so curious about their potter's pink ☺ (I also love that you mention toxicity because that's something I really consider when picking colors!)
I'm glad it's helpful information!
Beautiful video, and thank you for all the information! 💕💕💕
Thanks for the video Denise! I love Roman Szmal watercolors! I’d have to say their version of Raw Sienna and the Cyprus Burnt Umber Deep are my favorites! ❤️❤️
I've heard good things about the CBU Deep and I'm so curious!
Mineral violet is so cool!!
I have perilene green and perilene violet from RS. They are awesome! They are brighter then in other brands.
Those purples!!!
I haven't used my Roman Szmal as much as I'd like but my favourites so far are the mineral violet, shadow violet, ocean blue and alizarin crimson.
Definitely love your palette. We finally have these paints available in Romania, so let collecting begin.
Love you and your videos
ooh I wish they came in tubes... so beautiful!
Me too! I'm sure they will at some point. I'd buy so, so many tubes, I want pretty much most of their range 😂
Hopefully one day! I haven't tried to move all of them, but in my humid environment, I was able to scoop out the Shadow Violet and put it on my main palette if that's helpful to know.
@@InLiquidColor definitely helpful! I want to move to mainly using a magnetic palette that uses those very shallow metal pans, and it's just so much easier to pan up tube paints 😅
All of them look 🥰🦎💕
Your videos for me are like those architectural digest videos but just for watercolours. I'm so broke but I love painting so your swatching is so satisfying to seee
I watch all your videos Denise! and I am subscribed. LOL!!! I love listening to your voice and all the knowledge you share. THANKS for the sweet videos! Sending big LUVnHUGZ, Rita Donnelly
I only have two Roman szmal colours so far, but they’re absolutely wonderful. I have Cyprus burnt umber deep, it’s a lovely deep brown, a little redder than I had expected but still nice, granted I don’t really know how to use it. The other colour is their Azo red PR144 and I bought entirely out of curiosity about a red with azo pigment qualities. It absolutely did not disappoint, it’s beautiful and luminous, the best way I can think to describe it is juicy, and it shared that mysterious quality of nickel azo yellow and azo green that makes it a good mixer for both oranges and purples. It looks fairly similar to Aquarius red so I don’t know how useful it would be to you, but to anyone else, I would highly recommend it.
I’m not currently in the market for anymore watercolour (no matter how much I want it, I have to resist) but the greens, purples and earth tones of Roman szmal are so tempting even if their cool reds leave something to be desired (like where are all the PV19s? Why don’t they have a quin rose?)
I love your swatching videos, I always come away having learned so much, and I am a proud member of the 50% of video watchers who are subscribed!
Mineral violet - beautiful purple. And in a world where pretty permanent purples are hard to find, bravo!
looks good
I've gotten 3 of his watercolors so far, and I'm loving them! First is the "Aquarius Gray" PW6:1, which is a lovely granulating opaque warm gray color. Second is the "Green Gold Deep" PY129, similar to most versions, and same for the last color I've got which is the common "Perylene Green" with PBk31. I'm going to get the version you've got here next!☺️ Thanks for sharing your palette here:)
Btw- I also had no troubles with paint sticking to the wrapper. However, I've seen others who have just pop the pans into the freezer for a bit before opening them.
That shadow violet is very pretty. I also like the selection of greens here but I love warm/deep greens.
Also I got that Etchr mixed media watercolor/mixed media book based on your review a while back. I haven't had a chance to use it because fibromyalgia is trying to ruin my life BUT my cats sure love to stretch their claws on the little canvas cover. It's so fuzzy now. My current review is that it's a cat fur collector and very expensive cat scratcher.
This was great. Thanks 👍
Great stuff. Fun to know.
Hey I just got my order of Roman Szmal-colors, which you recommended. Thank you so much. I must say I already swatched them and it almost makes me want to throw all my other palettes into the bin ha ha. I won't do that of course. They spread so so nicely. I ordered the bright ultramarine. It is the best ultramarine I ever got. It is beaming!!! I am already excited to paint with them and see how they work for me. It can be difficult to work with easy loosening colors. I love to watch your videos . Stay safe!
So glad you like them! I like to hand off paints I'm no longer using to other artists - so that's always an option if you decide these are "the ones"! haha
i love your videos so much
Can't wait to see a painting with this watercolor pallette
Thanks Maria! I do have a tutorial up on Patreon using the Red Ochre and Shadow Violet (tiger)!
@@InLiquidColor oh ok, I will check it out. Thanks Denise
YESSSSS ROMAN SZMAL
Omg that mineral violet 🤤🤤🤤
I am really interested in the potters pink - it is in my wish list for my next Jacksons order :)
these paints have been in my sights for a while now, and once i have money to spare i will definitely invest in some, some of these are absolutely gorgeous! i'm especially a big fan of misty morning and shadow violet, even though i tend to prefer single pigment paints almost exclusively. and their indanthrone blue is so rich and vibrant! i wonder if it is more vibrant compared to maybe white night's, windsor and newton's, or schmincke's version of the pigment.
i've done some preliminary research into these already and have a short list of about 12 paints that i wanna try for myself. i think once i get them i will transfer them into half pans for my main palette (which is what i do with my white nights full pans) because i simply don't find much use in large full pans in my art, but other than that this could become my new favorite brand.
thank you for the video! it was definitely informative.
As a celebration of some personal successes, I splurged on a few dozen colors from Roman Szmal over the past few weeks. My bank account is none too happy, but my itch to collect all the colors has been scratched for now.
Funnily enough, at least one other CZcams watercolor artist saw very little flow when swatching this particular brand. Variation from batch to batch, maybe?
That is intriguing. There were some swatches that didn't appear to flow when I first put them in the water, but when they're left to dry, they stealth sneak across the page. I'm sure paper is also a factor!
Sooo nice... I should have swatched along. Quite a few of those colors are laying here for some time waiting for a swatch, but I was too comfortable watching you doing it :)
I’m a little late commenting but two things: 1. I love Roman Szmal watercolors. They are in my top 3 brands. 2. Who is licking their paintbrushes?
It happens more than you think, unfortunately 😅
Denise!! Thank you sooo much! I was wondering if you were going to do a brand by brand of Roman Szmal, even though it wasnt on your top 10 list, so I really appreciate this video! We always love more info on underappreciated brands :)
I agree!
Misty morning and shadow violet for me...
I believe the RS mineral violet is like DS imperial purple. Same pigments as rose of ultramarine, but obviously in different proportions.
I just made a purchase at white nights grainy colored artemiranda and seeing your video I'm already regretting it! Hahaha
I have cobalt coelin and want to buy misty morning!
I have the a few of these colors and have really enjoyed them. Really my only complaint is that I prefer to work with fresh paint and Roman Szmal is only available in pans, but the ones I have do rewet fairly easily.
The mineral violet is closer to daniel smith imperial purple than rose of ultramarine, as rose of ultramarine has more quin rose and imperial has more blue like the mineral violet.
Thank you for this lovely video, you are so informative and I just love watching these videos of all these beautiful colors. I am curious, what process do you use for disposing paint water responsibly?
Dreamy watercolor swatching
Hello from Canada, Denise! I have become a big fan and just recently received your WONDERFUL Earth Palette from Da Vinci. I am in love with it!! Congratulations on that sumptuous Denise’s Green BTW I am just waiting on delivery of some of your sweet animal stickers from your Etsy shop to make it perfect LOL I am now subscribed to your channel ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you for the support, Didi! Your order went out earlier this week, so I hope it makes it way to you soon :)
every time i see golden yellow in a roman szmal swatch video i just go "hiii.... [twirls my hair around my finger] you come here often?" 😂 seriously though it's such a gorgeous colour.... every day i am more tempted to buy myself some more RS paints. always awesome to see you around and i loved this relaxing look around your palette!
It's such a bright, happy color!
lol
Lovely selection Denise! I hope you enjoy them! They do look like a special line of watercolor paints and I look forward to trying them out myself. Can't wait to see more paintings of yours using these lovely colors.
