Goodness...7 years on, and watching this video after receiving my MG paints, I can't tell you how helpful this is. Thanks so much, Steve, you've given a completely brand spanking new beginner such a great understanding of how to use the MG pure pigments to approach the mystery and reluctance in starting to mix pigments. I know the brochure provides the basic info, but there is just nothing like seeing it done by a great teacher and gifted watercolorist. Love your videos and your art. 🙏 ❤🙏
Same!! I just ordered this set and I’m rewatching this now ❤
I usually use a soft toothbrush and toothpaste to give my new palettes a good brushing. Rinse out well and walla no beading. once all wiped and air dried, i put my paints in.
The skull was right...bone is a pigment...bone black , PBk9...but he might get a bit nervous if you throw him on the bbq !
😆
I agree with previous comments. I appreciate your skill in your Craft but also your skill as a Teacher. I learned several things but I must say what touched me the most was your verse. It certainly is appropriate. Thank you.
My pleasure and thanks for the kind comments.
Hi Steve! I'm not seeing your Bible verses anymore, and miss them. Is youtube removing them?
I'm only 6-minutes in, but seriously! Such an awesome review and explanation of the pure pigment set! Thank you so much!
K Werner Design hi! Nice to see you here :)
Hey thanks so much Kristina. Glad to hear it and pleased that you watched!
K Werner Design I know right! Kind of interesting, I actually linked a video of yours (masculine card with hero arts set using the mijello paints) on one of steves other videos talking about mijello because he said he couldn't find much information or video on CZcams about these paints and at that time that video of yours was practically one of the only ones that showed anything slightly telling of its properties.
I remember earlier this year I think it was in January or so suggesting mijello on someone's periscope because there were some that were uncomfortable with the investment of Daniel smith. I think Sandy allnocks or Dawn WPlus9 I can't recall, and I was so thrilled to see a week or so later you had gotten them and omg the paint sets flew off the shelf and sold out! And now they are $10 less than when I got them!!!
K Werner Design wow, how fun to have two of my favorite people here!!
The new version of this set has a MUCH better color curation that is so much better balanced across the spectrum: I can’t wait to try to cobalt turquoise!! It also gives you a clear percentage ratio for the color mixing combinations they give to create their full line yourself from the tubes
Hey cool. That makes so much more sense than this first go at the concept! I finally ordered it because it's been so cheap and then THANKS, Frugal Crafter, doing that helpful video yesterday LOL. And, knowing how to mix the full line? That is very cool.
@@jennw6809 Have you had any issues with these drying? I have read they are not great in humid climates, but I really want to buy some. I am hoping that a house with a/c in a humid climate would be ok.
@@MsDF936 I live in Washington state and we get a lot of rain and I do have some issues with my M. Graham drying. But not these! Give them a try. They are beautiful paints.
THANK YOU! just bought these based on recommendation of paper crafts artist but your comments will enhance my skills and enjoyment!
Thanks for the setup feature! I ordered mine in from Seoul and they just arrived. And I was so overwhelmed by their gorgeousness that I have been afraid of opening them up! And I didn't know the process behind the palette and I am going to hold off putting them in another pain and get this one. I appreciate the review!
Most incredible tutorials.... I love your style of teaching.
After watching your video again, I like the way the palette spread out the paint after you used the 1500 grit sandpaper to prep the surface. I think I'd get confused trying to follow a different configuration of the mixes in a different palette, so I going with the one you have in the demo. Will be great for learning how to mix my colors more predictably.
My first set of quality watercolor paints and I really love the brightness, color charts and the technical details your provided. Thank you for the reviews of pan and tube paints, I’m fighting the urge to buy the pan set and the large (24 tube) pallet. Seriously I don’t need MORE paints lol
Thanks so much for this video! I bought a set of the Mission Gold and love it! It fits my price point best for my first set of watercolor tubes! Love your videos and find them all very helpful! Keep them coming!
Great review- you're so knowledgeable! I love the little tidbits of interesting information you drop throughout the video.
I got this set last summer and love it. I did not get the palette but I did mix sap green from their recipe and I regretted it so I don't think making the mixed paints would be right for me but it is a neat concept. I recommend these as well, great quality and price! I have a DrPH makten palette I cut the edges off so it would fit in my big Jones palette (where my M Grahams live) and I can sore these colors there and use the lid of my m graham palette for mixing. Great review!
Cool, thanks for the input Lindsay! Yeah, really the only benefit to the mixing system is to help someone know which colors to use to mix what. You simply can't combine the fresh tube paint paste accurately. You have to mix visually on the palette with a wash. But I found most of their combinations to mix pretty accurately with a little trial and error.
Could you take any brand that is single pigment and do a pallet the same way? It makes me want to try anyway. Your thought?
i guess I am quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?
Thank you! I am still unsure on the brand of paint I want has a newbie but this reeeaaally helped me understand even more on what to base my choice.
Receiving the paints and palette this weekend. So excited to start setting up the palette. I have the 36 non-pure pigment set and I LOVE it (with 36 Palette - prefer the walls over the pans) . As someone fairly new to painting, I love that these are pure pigments, for cleaner mixes, and that it will help me better understand color mixing. I only just started learning the "magic" of neutralizing colors with their complements. I know this is old news to most, but as a beginner, I'm thrilled at how many more colors I have, just by starting to learn about color mixing. I paint mostly florals, so the heavy reds are another bonus. With this set, I'm going to try putting the paints on the shallow end to see how I like having the option of diluted paint pooling at the bottom. Thank you for your thoughtful reviews. I've learned so much from you already!
I'm so excited I ordered these pure pigments, I can't wait to get them. I didn't order the palette, I don't have a lot of space. So, to keep cat hair, and dust out I opted for the porcelain Stephen Quiller palette. I'm getting to the point with W/C that I am concerned about light fastness, and making my own mixes. Great video!
Thank you, Steve, for the great tips regarding the amount of paint and the mixing of the blended colors. I would have completely filled my palette and then stirred!
I got a set of Mijello Mission Gold watercolors from Amazon and I love them! My fav paints!
Thank you for explaining what the pigments mean. I am new to watercolor & was always confused as to what the letters before the numbers meant. Now I understand what they mean, so thank you.
wow I think the idea of having the colors next to each other in stripes is so smart for mixing, cause you get way more variation in how you can use the colors! great review, can't wait to try this technique once I get my hands on more tubes ^_^
Great review and such restraint! I can't believe there wasn't at least one little joke about the bullet-proof glass. I kept waiting, and waiting...
Very nice review Steve Thanks for keeping it online as it is still relevant today over 2 years later! I find most people fill the wells much to full! I wish the pallet makers would show a little more thought when suggesting how to fill them! But maybe it is more about using up the paint? Thanks again for your suggestion for restraint!
What a fantastic fantastic informative review! U never fail as my favorite instructor thank u so much for all you teach us
I bought these as my first good quality watercolors and I just love them. I’ve tried Daniel Smith and I still love these the best! The colors are so vibrant and clear. Just beautiful paint!
How do the reds work? Do they make mud? I was mixing from my set of colors just as Steve was doing the video "How to avoid muddy colors" and I was getting muddy colors from a redand a blue. He said that some reds cause mud no matter what..sort of.
Thank you so much for reviewing these pure pigment sets from Mission Gold - what I found most helpful was your explanation of the convenience colours and your suggestions on how to set the strips of colour into the wells instead of mixing them all together into the recommended convenience colour, review from other people talked about them but never actually explained the system as thoroughly as you have. After this review I am seriously considering the pure pigment set. I too have Mission Gold pan set and love it.
Thanks, glad it was helpful.
I love your reviews, tips, and demos. Always learning something from you
Glad to hear it!
Another great video! You and Reese crack me up lol! I can't get enough of your videos!!!
Thank you for this excellent review. I was undecided whether to buy this or not since I'm just a beginner. But after watching your video, I've decided to go for it. I love the thought of mixing my own colors. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your videos! Your thoroughness is incredible, and I always learn so many things that I had no way of even knowing that I didn't know!
👍
hello Steve! I have been watching your videos and I'm very impressioned. Your talent is unsurpassed. This one, about Mission/ Mijello influenced me to buy a case of 34 colors, what makes me very, very happy. The colors are beautiful! thanks for the tip.
I live in São Paulo, Brazil where supplies of watercolor material is limited.
Hugs!!
Wow! I enjoyed this information and would can see I need to watch it again. Thanks a bunch.
I love your channel and I always trust your suggestions and advice. I also want to say that I really love that you put a scripture at the end of the video. We'll be painting in our eternity and I'm sure I'll get to tour your eternal studio one day! May the Lord continue to bless your art ministry.
I have these, they are soooooo beautiful, so vibrant and creamy! The colors just pop off the page and they are reasonably priced!
I’ve been using them for over a year now. They are my favorite and I like them better than my WN and believe it or not Schminke.
Helped me a lot thanks! I always wondered about the beading up of watercolors on my plastic pans, always use tile because of that, so thanks for the tip!
👍
Awesome review and info thanks ! I have the 36 colors 7 ml set w the pallet on the way and I was going to order this 24 set of pure pigments next
Now I'm definitely going to!
Very helpful! Cleared up a few things for me.Thanks, Steve!
Great review and very informative really enjoyed it thank you for explaining their paint so well!! 😍
Great tips. I had premixed convenience colours in the wells before and they were disgusting! Ha ha. Brilliant idea to lay dollops in the well side by side and mix on palette. I’ve ordered a mijello colour the other day based off a Denise Soden top 5 colour review. Keen to see how it compares to other brands, W&N, DS, Holbein & Schmincke. Thanks again for sharing.
amazing review. i was sold about a quarter way through. definitely added to my wishlist.
I remember buying this set after watching your review. Very good paints for flowers.
Very true. Lots of gorgeous reds.
I just bought myself a set based on your recommendation. I love your videos and humour! Keep making videos!!
+Surinaa Tan enjoy!
Very interesting review. As I am a beginner, I'm interested in trying out those mixing combos. I never would have thought to put stripes of pigment in a well to help with mixing. Intriguing way of looking at it. Thanks for the tip on how to get your palette to not bead up and all the other little tidbits you shared.
My pleasure. Glad they were a help!
Great tutorial! Great explanation!! So glad I subscribed.
Excellent lesson! I like the way you showed utilizing the pallet and what errors not to make. I would be one of those people who would have filled the well with pigment unnecessarily. Fine sand paper on the surface...brilliant! I hate when my mixture beads up and I can't tell what it is! Enjoy your day!
👍
Great explanation, thx. I always wondered what the deal was with the set up on that palette, now I know!
I took your advice and put only a third of the amount in the convenience colors. Also, they gave me a magic eraser with my palette. :) I'm letting mine cure for a week. Thanks for the heads up!
I have this set on my mind for next christmas...that one or tthe Shminke Aqua Drops and some of the pens...Great review Steve!
Obsessed with your videos! Thank you so much. You're so incredibly talented. Xox
I'll take obsession, thanks! 😉
Thanks for the great review. I think it's a very fair look at the products. I love my M. Grahams, but these are tempting!
👍
now I want this set XD so bad! Thanks for showing them to me... AHHH!
Looks like a painters paradise:-) Thanks soooo much for your review
Its definitely a playground of color!
Hi Steve! I'm still a beginner so these look pretty fancy/expensive to me but they are very beautiful to see. I was very impressed with the pallet! Boy does it look nice with all that mixing room!! Whoa! Thank you for your time, your opinion, your knowledge and for sharing! Have a great weekend!
You bet! 👍
Just recently received this 24 set of Missions which I'm sure I will enjoy. Really enjoyed this video and learned a lot ! Thanks so much for sharing and now will prep my video surface, as yes it's a metal one and the colors do tend to bead up, so will try a small very fine sanding pad that I have and see if that helps. I also have a Mijello 18 color palette which I have not filled or used yet and will have to remember to do so to that one as well.... Thanks again!!
Also enjoyed watching your Cheap vs. Quality Cotton watercolor paper video !!
Till next time ! :-)
Thanks for sharing your review. I cheated and bought the full set of 105 colours and the convenience colours are definitely a convenience since I'm new to painting and not comfortable with mixing. I will say that it does help to create a swatch chart, and time permitting, a mix chart. Thanks for including a review of the palette. I've just been using a ceramic plate but that definitely looks great for at least keeping the paints in so I can still use the plate for mixing, etc. Also, they do get harder with time; however there are still a few that are still somewhat malleable. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Great! Thanks for that input.
So far so awesome! I have come to find your opinion and information as one of the best and source your content whenever I need to figure something out or just when I'm bored and need to get motivated!
Haha! Thanks Erin!
The Mind of Watercolor oh the Mr clean magic eraser will help with the mixing areas of the palette. It will get the stains off and stop the beading.
I want to get my hands on these some day. They really seem great.
👍
Loved your intro ;) What a nice set. As a beginner I can still be confused about colour mixing and this could be really helpful. Thanks for the review :)
It should help with that.
Brilliant review. Many thanks. 😉
hi there! loved the review... very thorough and detailed with great tips.. I picked a set up from Korea and I can't wait to use them!
👍
Oh, I love this! I much prefer to mix my own colors than to rely on someone else’s idea of what should be the final product.
It's a great guide tho
Thanks for sharing this demo, it would be great if you can make a follow up demo, with actual test on cold and hot pressed paper.
Great video Steve! Definitely a very helpful video. 😆
👍
I jumped on this set back when Miss Lindsay aka Frugal Crafter reviewed them. But as a novice painter I always like watching review vids to learn new things. Although it may sound like simple things to you experts the tips you gave about mixing the stripes of color outside the well and them being analogous (I had to google that word) colors, make the "Oh Yeah!" lightbulb go on. I appreciate the knowledge that has taken you guys years to learn is willing shared :)
Pretty nice paints aren't they?
They definitely make understanding color mixing easier for me. But I am enjoying all the paints I've collected, I'm finding watercolors brands are like people, let them be what they are and they won't disappoint.
Thank you for the very helpful review. I wish I had room for the palette.
👍
Really nice review! Imma subscribe now. Hope to see more about watercolor cause im still tryna learn to use watercolor. I have learned some things from this review and i really thank you for that.
👍
Technically Reese isn't totally wrong! Ivory black is/was made out of bones :D
Thank you for your review. It is great if you score the water color based on some properties such as blending, transparency, lightless etc... and show an example of your drawing using this watercolor!
The differences in this and other top artists grade watercolor so far have been too slight to score.
Nice tips, thank you
I purchased Mission Gold Watercolors from your last Review on them. they are absolutely wonderful Watercolors. I love these watercolors, I use none other than these. The color is so true. One would be advised to purchase them.
👍
Wow! What a set! I love your videos. Regards from Brazil 😃
👍
I have 36 coming today, thanks for your tip 🙏🏻
Excellent video
I've had that palette for a couple months, I love it to death!! It definitely stains big time but that doesn't bother me.
👍
I have the 24 set…some are pure pigment some are mixes. I like them! 👍🏻
Thxx for the great review :))
Great idea on roughing up the plastic palettes! I think I’m gonna do that on mine. I like the ceramic palettes but they are very heavy and not-travel friendly and will never allow for all the wells that plastic palettes can offer. Thanks😀
Helpful review,i use a magic eraser, to buff up the mixing area,it helps remove staining also,tfs.
Yes, I tried that first but didn't work. This surface is pretty tough.
I almost cried when I got my palette and saw everything bead up. I was using a glass plate before I bought a real palette from Mijello... I didn't do anything special to mine, but kept mixing and it began to behave more like I expected. I am so happy you mentioned that in the video because it seems to be a popular choice and I thought I might have gotten a lemon :-) I think wiping mine down with a dry paper towel a few times between projects may have scratched the surface a bit. Still, the sandpaper tip is priceless!
Yes - my palette actually came with a magic eraser. I've also used comet on a plastic palette and that has worked too.
I just purchased mijello, pure pigment 34s. They'll arrive in a month. So I'm learning everything I can about it base from the reviews. It's my most expensive art material purchase, and I 'm not a professional. So I'm kinda nervous and excited to use it.
Absolutely lovely paints! You'll love them.
Mjau!! What a wonderful Set!!
Thank you for video!
👍
Thanks for the lesson.
👍
I don't know why but most of all your videos make me feel happy >o< it's just so nice to listen to you, even tho I don't have the money for any of those products x)
Very kind thanks!
very helpful!!!thank you!!!
👍
I bought the 7ml set of 24 colors by Mission gold and very few of them are PB numbers if fact some of them of numbers.
Great review
Thanks!
I am a beginner in watercolor and was very excited by the options explained in your review. I purchased the watercolor set and the pallet through Amazon, but the chart for color layout was not included. Do you have any suggestions on how to find the missing chart? I tried to get a screen shot from your video, but it is just a little too blurry for my poor old eyes to make out. Meanwhile, I greatly enjoy your videos and your artwork is amazing. I am very grateful for your generosity in sharing your knowledge and experience. Thank you.
Oh my goodness! This is the best explanation of pigment numbers! My mind just went…😮 duh! 😂 seriously, I’ve always been so confused by the numbers, nor did I care. I just started to pay attention. 😊
LOL! It happens that way sometimes. 😄
@@mindofwatercolor good grief.
really excellent review. ty#
Thanks!
I mix convenience colors outside palettes and pour it in.
I got my own mijello set a few years back and the pallet so far the pallet hasent stained on me but it still might in time
Great video
any enamel based pallet i always give it a bit of keying up with a light rub of steel wool, thanks for the video
Yeah I've done that too. Don't want to do that though if paint is already in the palette. The steel wool bits get everywhere. 1500 or 2000 grit sand paper is neater.
Love the review, I really wanted to buy this set but I had bought another set also sold by that same amazon seller and had awful customer service, and I won't buy from them again. So it looks like I can't have it unless I want to pay a ton more.
☹️
Steve, thanks so much for this review. I received in the Mijello Mission Gold 36 set with pallet. I have only been working with watercolor for almost a year and have been using student grade pan set (St. Petersburg). It has done well for learning but the Mission Gold is on a whole other level. So creamy and rewets so beautifully. It loves Arches and Canson paper. The colors are so different from what I have used before. Thanks again.
You bet!
is it reactivate quickly. i paint in layers i wonder if it right choice for me
Yes.
This video was great, I probably would have mixed the paints in the little pans... I have the 36 tube set, and I admit that I really wanted to love these, but I don't. I think for those who do loose and fluid watercolors this brand is not the way to go. The colors don't move, and they lift so easily when I add more layers on top. Obviously many people enjoy them, the colors are bright and lovely, so maybe it's just me :) Thanks so much for your wonderful videos!
Not all paints are for all people thats for sure. They do move a bit sluggishly. Thats actually a plus for some artists. Depends on style. I'm puzzled though by the lifting. Thats usually a function of paper not paint. I suppose the formulation could change that. I didn't a notice a lifting difference on Arches but you've made me want to recheck that.
Hi steve, i really would love to buy these but I want to know if these paints glaze well or lift with subsequent layers
Hi Steve, i really would love to buy these but I want to know if these paints glaze well or lift with subsequent layers
Love your videos. I'm learning so much. Any thought on the "flow"? I read somewhere they didn't flow that well.
I didn't notice a significant differences with other paints. Specific color can also make a difference with flow.
Got my new set of 17, was very excited. I have one big issue with the tube paints. They're quite liquiddy and after pouring into pans they don't seem to dry up. Unlike any other brands I poured into pans the same day.
Is it just me?
I love your channel. The paints I usually use are Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton along with a Schmincke purple. I have been wanting to get more information about these Mission paints and really enjoyed your demo. The fact that these paints have honey in them do you think that they would mix okay with DS and WN? Also have you tried rubbing toothpaste into the surface of a new plastic palette? It is less scratchy. You can use it to remove the staining too. Merry Christmas and a Guid New Year from bonnie Scotland xx
Yep they mix fine. Toothpaste works but it’s slow and messy. Since this video I tend to just let palettes break in on they’re own. Also slow but it eventually happens.
Hi Mind of Watercolour...have you tried glue stick to prep palettes? No grazing, no staining!
