I loved this video! I would also love to see Mission Gold, Roman Szmal, QOR, or Grumbacher Academy tubes reviewed with an emphasis on how well they work for cat and dog portraits.
No offense meant here. I think there is a over abundance of swatching videos available. That said, I am switching from Daniel Smith to Van Gogh paints. Mainly I like how they mix better.
@@ralphcrosby9622 All good, no offense taken! DS is one of my favourite brands and while I will continue to buy more of their more unique / specialty colours, I think the difference between DS and VG when it comes to the more basic colours is quite minimal, in which case I find Van Gogh to be very comparable at a fraction of the price :)
Being a Schmincke- and a Daniel Smith-girl, I was hesitant to try the Van Goghs. But I am about to fall in Love. I appreciate all the single pigment colors. The price is still in a decent range and does not make me feel ripped off. And of course they behave just like their much more expensive siblings. For me they are a real discovery! Thank you for the review. Oh, and the animal paintings are just lovely!
Thank you for watching! Single pigments are great for cleaner mixes :) I'm glad to hear you found it useful and feel free to let me know if you have any other questions on these Van Gogh watercolours 😊
Thank you so much. Your comments are very helpful for a person who’s just starting to figure out which paints to buy. I’m interested in the dusk colors. I mostly use Daniel Smith and would love to see your thoughts on those.
I have Van Gogh and I a 100% recommended it, the colors are so beautiful and rich, it’s easy to make them transparent with some water, it’s transparently is really beautiful it moves alone and dries so light, I don’t even mix so much for skin color, but I just add pure color mixed with water and it makes everything so pretty by itself. These are some magical paints and I really recommend them 👏
I'm glad to hear you enjoy Van Gogh watercolors too! 😊 They are fun to paint with and I like that they're affordable yet still maintain a high quality!
Love these paints. I didn't know they reformulated burnt sienna. Love the dusk violet. I have the dusk pink, but you are right, I should get the violet as well.
I have many of these same van gogh tubes and love them! For the price you can't beat them,they are such good quality paints. These with a few daniel smith primateks that excite you will create an awesome palette
Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 This is very encouraging to hear and I will be sure to make more review videos like this, along with painting tutorials. Thanks again and hope you're having a lovely day!
First, I must say that your pet portraits are just exquisite! Thank you for this video. I'm ready to move beyond student pan paints and was curious about Van Gogh paints. I just subscribed and I hope to see more about pet portraits and Van Gogh paints on your channel.
Exactly what's useful without being too much. It truly helps to know how you use each color and what mixes well with what.🔥🔥🔥 Can you please do a review of Holbeins?
Awww I'm so glad to hear you stayed til the end! 🔥 Oh I haven't shown this on Instagram yet but I actually have just acquired a set of Holbeins so will be testing them out for some time first to see how I feel about them, review video will definitely come in the future! ☺ Thanks for the lovely suggestion!
@@cheralynn4417 Of course! Blending and lightfastness are definitely both important and I'll be sure to carry out this test! I plan to leave some swatches out in the sun for a few months to really test the lightfastness claim. Thank you for suggesting this Cheralynn! 😃
First of all your artwork is lovely💗 It is a syle that I'll be working towards achieving someday! Looking at your colors and other videos about van gogh and comparing them with the pans I have, I'm very much in suspicion that the formulation in tubes and pans are quiet differen. I have been struggling with the VG pans for sure. They look gorgeous while applying however to a dull color. They don't move and flow as ecpected and gets muddy when mixed.. The binders and additives in the pans must be so much more to hold the pan in place that the end results suffers... Anybody else having problems with VG pans like me?
Thank you for the kind words! Looking at the photos of the VG pans online, they look to be extruded pans rather than hand-poured pans so it is likely that their formulation is different in the pans vs tubes. This is also the case with some other brands like Sennelier and Winsor and Newton (among others) where their pan formulation is different to their tubes. I would recommend purchasing the VG tubes and squeezing them into pans (also more economical this way). I recently squeezed all of my Van Gogh tubes into pans and they rewet beautifully. Hope that helps!
Thank you for doing this in depth review and giving your personal advice. I have been looking for an in depth review for this brand and yours is the best I've found on CZcams. You have such a calm, soothing manner and explain things very clearly. Thank you! 👍🏻🌷
Glad I watched this video Wendy! 🔥 I only have primary colors (Ultramarine Deep, Permanent Red Deep and Transparent Yellow Light) from Van Gogh, and Indigo which I love! Now thanks to you I got a few ideas on what else to get. Thanks !
Thank you girl, you did a great job on Van Goghs, which helped a beginner, a lot!! I should have gone for Cotman, because I want to start using them over my graphite landscape drawings, to make them 100% colored. Their trensparency fits perfectly for my needs,. However, all people suggest and praise Van Gogh, so I'm ready to hit the button and order those instead of Cotman. Thanks again for your efforts!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have used both Cotman and Van Gogh, and while both are great for beginners, personally I prefer Van Gogh more! :) Happy creating!
Although this video was made a year ago, I really appreciate you making it as I just came back from a new art supply store here in Bklyn, and they had Van Gogh watercolors. They did have a bigger variety of colors, but I'm glad I got to see most of them in your video and I really like them and will definitely be going back to get some, I'm saving this video so I know which colors to look for - thank you! 🤗💖🧑🎨🖌️🎨🖼️
Aww thank you so much Cheralynn! I'm glad you found it useful but concise enough! That makes me so happy to hear that I've struck a good balance 🤗 thank you for watching!
Thank you so much Divya for your kind words and feedback! I'm so glad you enjoyed this review and found it informative. If you have any particular brands that you would be interested to know more about in a review, feel free to let me know! 😊
🔥 I LOVE Van Gogh! Discovered them a while back and quickly purchased quite a few, including all those luscious dusk colors! Thanks for this swatching...I discovered a couple I did not have and now want...😂
Thanks Wendy, it's very informative! Been using van gogh paints for abt 3 yrs now and i love them! I'm so gonna get naples yellow red and dusk violet!!
That is awesome to hear!! 🥰 I'm so glad you found it informative! Good choices too, I actually have a dog painting coming up on my CZcams using only the 2 colours naples yellow red and dusk violet 🤭
I recommend these watercolors allot, they are so fun and amazing colors you will get addicted to painting with them ones trying them! You can’t build them with many layers though, and it is possible to reactivate them after drying, they are beautiful!❤️
Yes they are really great for a "student" brand! 😊 I used these a lot at the start of my watercolour journey and they are a lot of fun. Oh I didn't know they were able to reactivate after drying, thank you for letting me know!
Extremely informative and useful. 🔥 Thank you so much. I look forward to more of your videos. I second Catherine Chong's idea of your ultimate palette, that would be awesome!
Aww thank you so much Nina!! I'm so glad to hear you found this informative and also happy to know you watched til the end too! 🔥☺ That means a lot! Thank you for the suggestion too, I will definitely keep in mind for future videos, it sounds very interesting! 😃
Great swatching and review!!! Thanks for sharing! And Yes more brands- actually I would love to see a video like this for each brand of watercolors you have in your collection💚! I think its super helpful if you add the pigment numbers to the swatch sheet or even say the pigment code when you swatch the color out...but yea such a great, clear, informative video! Thank you for sharing, cant wait to see future videos from you ❤😊😁💚 much love
Thank you Nadeane for the feedback! I'm glad you are keen to know more about the pigment information and I will definitely keep in mind to note or mention the pigment info during the swatches of my future videos! 😊
Hello there. Thank you for the detailed video. You covered almost every color I am interested in slowly buying. I was wondering how the dusk colors would mix with regular colors. For example how dusk yellow would mix with regular greens and blues.
Hey Wendy, I really like your voice and they way you're talking. Haha maybe that sounds kind of strange... That's the first vid of you I watched and I just scrolled through the thumbnails of the other ones...OMG I'm so impressed. I LOVE your paintings sooooo much! They are magical. I'll watch them after painting. New sub here and curious what's your next project...! Gonna try my best to support you, you need much more followers girl! 🤗💖
Awww you are such a sweetheart Sanni, thank you so much for the lovely kind words! ♥️ It makes me very happy to hear you enjoy my paintings and videos, I really appreciate it Sanni! 🤗
Hello Wendy, I've watched your amazing video before but I can't help but always go back and see the colors you like and why you use them. I too love van Gogh paints and I have quite a few of them myself. I think I'll get the Pyrrol orange to fill the missing piece of my collection, since I have only one true single pigment orange paint in my mixed brand collection. It's not a cor I use that much, but it's always good to have a single pigment orange paint and high end student brand on top of it.
Aww thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this video! 😊 I too really enjoy single pigment colours! The pyrrol orange is so vibrant and I feel that a mixed orange would struggle to achieve such vibrancy and clarity, so it's a great choice! Thank you so much for coming back to watch again, this makes me so happy to hear! 🤗
Thank you so much for an amazingly thorough swatch video, I have some Van Gogh paints that I love (including the whole dusk quartets :p) and might have to add some more to my list! Keep up the great work friend!
Awww you are so sweet Elise!! Thank you so much 🤗❤🔥 Yay I'm glad to hear that you also own some Van Goghs, the dusk range is beautiful right? Their granulation would look perfect for your watercolour splashes 😉 Thank you again for the support my friend! ❤
Love this amazing swatch video 🔥 Would love to see how you choose colours for your ultimate palette! Like maybe you have different brands in your ultimate palette haha
Thank you Catherine, I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the video! 🤗 Ohh I love your idea about compiling the ultimate palette! I will definitely keep that in mind for future videos, thank you so much for your suggestion! 🥰
Excellent review !!1 i think those dusk colors are not necessary ...even if you want those...all can can be achieved by buying one oxide black(PBK11) if you mix(PG7,pv23.PV19,&PY128 ) you can get dusk green,violet ,pink and yellow respectively
Thank you so much! Thank you for sharing your view as well on the dusk colours and it's great hearing other people's thoughts and perspectives! 😃 I agree while the dusk range is not necessary (but as is the case with most convenience colours), I find the Dusk Violet in particular to be a real gem especially as I use it in almost all of my paintings, so having it in a tube really saves me a lot of mixing time! That is definitely my benchmark for whether or not to pick up a convenience colour (same as Indigo, I can easily mix this myself with the two pigments but I use it often enough to pick it up 😊). The other 3 of the 4 from the dusk range, I would probably mix myself if I owned the Mars black pigment 😉
@@WendyPaints Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to your future videos. It would be interesting to know more about you, how you got into watercolor or what drives you to paint your favorite subjects.
Would you recommend Carmine or Quinacridone Rose? I'm looking for a nice vibrant red-ish pink for flowers and sunsets, and that can mix nice purples. Thanks in advance! Edit: or if you know of a better color in a different brand, that would be great too!
The beginner should choose the best quality paper, for a start it can be Cezanne, Leonardo 600gr, Hannamule 60% cotton and he can also work on Koh I Nor colors of 5 e, he should learn everything about colors and above all I recommend him to learn to draw well ( sketches) e then let him try Koh I Nor professional colors (70e) or Van Gogh but 5 classes above are professional Koh I Nor in relation to VG e after if he wants he can take the best possible combination, Arches + Schmincke + Escoda brushes but the way to that is a minimum of 5 years of academic work.
Did they change Olive green since then? Mine looks very different. I was also puzzled watching swatches of the Rembrandt Olive green. On some swatches it looks very Yelloish,on others it looks way closer to the common greenish Olive green colour. Does anybody know whats happening?
Hello, Wendy! I just discovered your YT channel and rushed to see your work on Instagram, but it seems your account has been closed or something. I would love to see more of your work! Are you ok?
Thank you for the kind words! I've had to take a break from Instagram for now, but hoping to be back there again when the time is right. Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it :)
Thank you! I haven't experienced any flaking or cracking with these paints before, I typically squeeze them onto a palette and they've worked wonderfully for me :)
@@staceykarlafti2189 Ah I haven't experienced flaking of paints in any of the brands I have tried before actually. Is there a particular brand you've experienced that flaking problem with?
@@WendyPaints Well I have never bought tubes from another brand since I'm a beginner, I only have the 12 half pan set from Van Gogh, which is already in a palette. I have heard that inexpensive brands like Arteza crack like crazy and since these Van Gogh ones are pretty inexpensive I was wondering about the performance.
@@staceykarlafti2189 Ah I see, I haven't tried Arteza before and personally would not be keen to from the swatches I've seen of that brand as their watercolours seem to lean more opaque and look more like gouache compared to watercolour. Flaking off is definitely a sign of bad formulation and shouldn't happen at all. I have tried over a dozen different brands and have not experienced this flaking issue. I would say from my experience the Van Gogh is as good as artist quality paints despite the premium student label.
They are definitely more affordable in certain parts of the world! The price is reflective of these being classified as a student grade paint but I find the quality to be great and better than other student grade paints! 😊
Let me know if you like these types of review videos! 😊 Feel free to suggest any other brands you would like to see me review
I loved this video! I would also love to see Mission Gold, Roman Szmal, QOR, or Grumbacher Academy tubes reviewed with an emphasis on how well they work for cat and dog portraits.
@@habituallearner7680 Thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it! 😊 Oh I love Roman Szmal paints so will definitely do a video at some stage for it!
No offense meant here. I think there is a over abundance of swatching videos available.
That said, I am switching from Daniel Smith to Van Gogh paints. Mainly I like how they mix better.

Thanks a lot - before I allways had Schmincke but today I got many tube colors and to save money I got Van Gogh tubes and you made them look GREAT :-)

Hello Wendy, I've watched your amazing video before but I can't help but always go back and see the colors you like and why you use them. I too love van Gogh paints and I have quite a few of them myself. I think I'll get the Pyrrol orange to fill the missing piece of my collection, since I have only one true single pigment orange paint in my mixed brand collection. It's not a cor I use that much, but it's always good to have a single pigment orange paint and high end student brand on top of it.
Aww thank you so much for the kind words, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this video! 😊 I too really enjoy single pigment colours!

Thank you for sharing your view as well on the dusk colours and it's great hearing other people's thoughts and perspectives! 😃 I agree while the dusk range is not necessary (but as is the case with most convenience colours), I find the Dusk Violet in particular to be a real gem especially as I use it in almost all of my paintings, so having it in a tube really saves me a lot of mixing time! That is definitely my benchmark for whether or not to pick up a convenience colour (same as Indigo, I can easily mix this myself with the two pigments but I use it often enough to pick it up 😊). The other 3 of the 4 from the dusk range, I would probably mix myself if I owned the Mars black pigment 😉
@@WendyPaints Mars black pigment also available in van gogh!!!!
@@SathishKumar-pw9fu Ah yes unfortunately I don't own that one yet 🙈 Would be nice to make other types of dusk colours with it though!
@@WendyPaints gr8.....better buy 2 tubes so that you can explore a lot
@@SathishKumar-pw9fu Haha thank you! 🤭

🔥 Thanks for the video
You're welcome! Thank you for watching and feel free to let me know if there's a particular review you would like to see in the future 😊
@@WendyPaints Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to your future videos. It would be interesting to know more about you, how you got into watercolor or what drives you to paint your favorite subjects.
@@demiphoto Aww thank you so much! Those sound like excellent ideas and definitely will keep in mind for the future! 😊 Thank you for suggesting!
Would you recommend Carmine or Quinacridone Rose? I'm looking for a nice vibrant red-ish pink for flowers and sunsets, and that can mix nice purples. Thanks in advance!
Edit: or if you know of a better color in a different brand, that would be great too!
Great video. Very useful

The beginner should choose the best quality paper, for a start it can be Cezanne, Leonardo 600gr, Hannamule 60% cotton and he can also work on Koh I Nor colors of 5 e, he should learn everything about colors and above all I recommend him to learn to draw well ( sketches) e then let him try Koh I Nor professional colors (70e) or Van Gogh but 5 classes above are professional Koh I Nor in relation to VG e after if he wants he can take the best possible combination, Arches + Schmincke + Escoda brushes but the way to that is a minimum of 5 years of academic work.
Some tutorials PLZZ!!!
Sure! I have a timelapse tutorial coming soon! 🤗
Thanks for the video 🔥
You're welcome! I hope you found it informative 😊
🔥 btw
I'm wondering why the manufacturer didn't use indigo to make indigo paint?
What type of paper were you doing these swatches on please?
Loved it 👍🏻
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😊
Did they change Olive green since then? Mine looks very different. I was also puzzled watching swatches of the Rembrandt Olive green. On some swatches it looks very Yelloish,on others it looks way closer to the common greenish Olive green colour. Does anybody know whats happening?

Hello, Wendy! I just discovered your YT channel and rushed to see your work on Instagram, but it seems your account has been closed or something. I would love to see more of your work! Are you ok?
Thank you for the kind words! I've had to take a break from Instagram for now, but hoping to be back there again when the time is right. Thank you for your concern, I appreciate it :)
@@WendyPaints Thank you for replying! Glad to hear you're ok! Loved your work 🥰

Nice video! Do these Van Gogh tubes flake and crack once they dry? Or do they perform well in a palette?
Thank you! I haven't experienced any flaking or cracking with these paints before, I typically squeeze them onto a palette and they've worked wonderfully for me :)
@@WendyPaints Thank you! I want to make my own custom palette for plein air etc. and I wouldn't want the paints to flake off...
@@staceykarlafti2189 Ah I haven't experienced flaking of paints in any of the brands I have tried before actually. Is there a particular brand you've experienced that flaking problem with?
@@WendyPaints Well I have never bought tubes from another brand since I'm a beginner, I only have the 12 half pan set from Van Gogh, which is already in a palette. I have heard that inexpensive brands like Arteza crack like crazy and since these Van Gogh ones are pretty inexpensive I was wondering about the performance.
@@staceykarlafti2189 Ah I see, I haven't tried Arteza before and personally would not be keen to from the swatches I've seen of that brand as their watercolours seem to lean more opaque and look more like gouache compared to watercolour. Flaking off is definitely a sign of bad formulation and shouldn't happen at all. I have tried over a dozen different brands and have not experienced this flaking issue. I would say from my experience the Van Gogh is as good as artist quality paints despite the premium student label.
Nice!💞

Lol. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🤗
I’m here because I wondered why these paints are so cheap .
They are definitely more affordable in certain parts of the world! The price is reflective of these being classified as a student grade paint but I find the quality to be great and better than other student grade paints! 😊
Thanks for sharing
You're welcome! 😊
