First off I love Dragon Age (almost obsessively so, it’s without a doubt the one series where I’ve played all the games, read all the comics and now I’m slowly making my way through all the books and one day will get around the the Seeker movie) and just knowing you’re also a fan and hearing you talk about it, make fan art etc always makes me giggle and it’s always a treat. Secondly I adore Solas, he’s like an art brother to my DA OC but boooy am I eager to crack an egg in DA4 every time I see his face😂
I love the granulating and the soft 'glow'of these colors, im defenitly going to buy them when my pc is finally fixed!
Am I the only one who find this video so visually satisfying to watch?!!!!
This channel deserves million subscribers! ❤️
waaah, thank you so much!
@@arleebean You're very welcome!! 🙂❤️
More than a million! I think everyone can appreciate these videos even if they don’t make art themselves
Not just visually but Arleesha's voice is also incredibly calming. I love these videos.
Your voice, the visual quality, the ART! Arleebean I will forever watch every single one of your videos. I don't feel stressed, or pushed, or left out watching you. You have inspired me to get into watercolor paints, THANK YOU!
Roman Szmal paints are truly a wonder to work with and you described them perfectly. For some reason though, I feel like they have this sort of "calming" quality about them. They remind me of coffee in a cold morning or something😅 I barely made any sense wow. Thank you for sharing your mixing process and I actually tried to adapt the same technique in my recent paintings. I love how it does make the piece more cohesive that way as every color has a trace of the other color and I just love it. Thank you so much for creating great content☺
I’ve been trying out your method of only mixing in one well, and it’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. I feel like my art is much more cohesive, which makes me happy. So thank you!
Naples yellow with white in when mixed with Winsor and Newton smalt or a similar very violet blue (almost like ultramarine but more violet) mixes absolutely beautiful soft greys when diluted down. It’s one of my favourite colour combinations and I have in every palette. You could use that unwanted Naples for that.
The brush looks so soft. I wish I jad something like that.
from what I learn Prussian blue is lightfast, however it's photosensitive due to being a cyanotype, it'll change color when expose to light, but it'll return to original color when keep in darkness for a while...
I've been exploring 'reduced palettes' the past week, and it has been inspirational. For example, take DS Natural Sienna, DS French Ultramarine and DS Transparent Red Oxyde (a trio of muted yellow, blue and red), mix them in any wild combination to see what they can do, and then I used these 3 colors to make a few paintings. It's amazing to see that colors which are muted in nature can pop up as vibrant when surrounded by context which is more dull. Also, a paintwork done with only three pigments and mixtures thereof will make a very coherent impression. They harmonize very well.
The painting turned out so nice and soft and glowing, just amazing! Thanks for sharing your experience with the paints and palette. The granulation is beautiful in the Roman Szmals.
I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this but I watched Denise's review this morning (In Liquid Color). She was able to scoop out some of the paint from one of the Roman Szmal full pans and put it in a half pan to put in her regular palate. You may be able to do that for the small half pans that you have at the end of the rows as space holders to prevent the larger full pans from sliding around. That would be so awesome if you could! I'm thinking that high humidity will be the trick. So if you want to try and it's a bit difficult maybe find a way to create a small micro climate of higher humidity to place the full pans you want to scoop out and transfer to the smaller half pans. Hope this makes sense. :) Your videos are always so soothing and extremely helpful! You are so very talented and I am deeply grateful for you sharing of your skill, talent and passion!
I AM OBSESSED WITH DRAGON AGE. And i love the broody egg so much. Seeing you paint him so beautifully just filled me with joy. And i already love watching and listening to you
Solas is my favorite as well. I romanced him my first go round and have been stuck in Solavellan hell ever since. Very lovely watercolor!
You always make Solas look so soft in your paintings, I love it. These are also super cool paints. I'm glad that the affiliate links were put to good use. ♥️☺️
Not Italian, but Polish :) You can dig through their FB page to check the set you got. Judging from the packaging, it was one of the ready sets; there are several signature palettes by different artists. If you still have the cover/top, you'd find info right there. And, lo and behold, they've just announced new colors... 😊 Thank you for your fabulous videos! ❤
The cover of my set was actually blank! It came in the white, unprinted box shown at the very beginning of the video. I'll have to check the other signature sets to see if it's one of those though - thanks! And yes, I did mis-speak when I said Italian. I was even looking at the labels that say "Made in Poland"... whoops xD
Thanks for this tip to go to Facebook. I knew they are Polish as I have been eyeing up their beautiful colours but apart from the Polish shop that sells them online I could not find any information on them! 😍😘👍🏻😀

@@arleebean I know this is old but I wanted to mention I saw someone else on YT who got a special edition 5 pan set sent to them as a promo.. it was plain white box as well and a different selection of colors than the 5 pan introductory set they sell on Jackson's.. just FYI it may have been a similar situation.
This turned out so well! (: Love the granulation in these paints
Oh what a coincidence. I just acquired 20. I am in LOVE with these paints. I have been using them exclusively for the last 2 weeks. I really enjoy how they move and oh the lovely way some of them granulate! Can we talk about Ocean and Mineral violet!?!. The colors that come out of these two. I just ordered more colors so that I can have a full range of the pigments I like to use. I LOVE them. Qor and Daniel Smith just dropped from the top of my list. Lol.
Gosh it's so funny how I came across this video LITERALLY as I'm gearing up for another week-long-straight Dragon Age Inquisition binge. Absolutely stunning.
Great video and watercolors!
I love your artistic drawing style and the way you use Watercolors with such confidence! Man I wish I had your skills!
Omg I'm Polish and I didnt know this brand exist and the granulation is amazing. I need to check the watercolora out
I did something similar, grew my custom palate from a set of 12 to 28 in a meeden metal tin, I love them! And I really like how they have not been homogenised and the pigments retain their own characteristics. I actively wanted some pastels so one row is devoted to those. Haven’t had a chance to really explore them yet but intend to do some large paintings with them. Loved your use of colour and hope you have a great time with these fantastic paints, they really do give the very pricey brands a run for their money, don’t they. And I find messy pans when they arrive in their more hand poured state a lot less intimidating to use too..... thanks for a nice review, hehe, the better kind of confirmation bias - sharing great art supplies!
This video is truly magical. Thank you so much for making it.
Just love how much your pictures flow. Its incredible to see.x
Watching you paint and listening to your voice is just so soothing. Love your work!
Yesterday did the same to my White Nights pallet 😅 Fun to see that someone had the same idea
This is so calming to watch! Your voice is very soothing. Also, great painting of the egg, love how you painted the shadows. And PLEASE talk about dragon age as much as you like!
I have had these paints for a while now and you described them so beautifully with words I could not quite find and put together. This piece is gorgeous! Looking forward to seeing more of these paints in your work 😁🖌️🖼️🎨
I’ve collected colours on and off for a while and I’ve managed to cram 39 full pans into an old Meeden tin! And I’ve put 12 earth tones into a smaller Meeden tin. Out of all the brands of watercolour, I love the Roman Szmal earth tones the best. I couldn’t believe the quality of the paint at student grade prices.
Lovely I love the purples and darker colors so lovely
the white nights plastic palette is awesome. The winsor and newton cotman studio palette too I have the latter, thanks for the shaving tip,brilliant hehehe
They look beautiful to use and it shows how much you enjoyed using them too..He certainly turned out amazing 😀
I bought the same palette for my RS paints and was devastated to find out they didn't fit. Am going to try your method for shaving down the tabs thank you.
I live in Poland and I never thought Roman Szmal makes watercolors, huh. I've been using his mediums and varnishes since I started drawing bc they are the cheepiest on the shelf XD
😀They are very popular in Holland. ❤️🍀
These colors are so beautiful! I love the warm earthy tones, thank u for making this video!🤩👍
I actually started playing Dragon Age Inquisition because of you (with the loud encouragement of my friend haha). I always enjoy your art videos, even when they are "just" sketchbook paintings :)
Im so happy to see my boy Solas!😍💖💖
Good model choice considering! Solas would probably enjoy reviewing pallets!
So beautiful color mixing 🥰🥰
The last four colors are amazing, I love the granulations I'm seeing.
The watercolors look so vibrant and pigmented. Love that.
So glad to see you make a video on this!
so beautiful
I have R. Szmal colors too, they truly are a delight.
I did the same as you did in selecting 36 colors thinking I would put them in a White Nights 36 pan palette. To my surpise, and dismay, the pans didn't fit. I ultimately ended up putting them in my empty QoR tin. (I received the QoR 24 color set as a gift for Christmas.) This seems to be working okay for now. I agree with your description of these paints. They're lovely in a way that is a bit unique, but reminiscent of other brands I love and am familiar with. Great video.
Just used your Jackson's affiliate link to purchase ten pans of these. Can't wait to try them. Thanks for the review.
I'm so happy you made this, I've been wanting to try Roman Szmal's watercolors, but have to wait till I have money. Beautiful artwork per usual!💙✌😸
I'd love to get my hands on one of the mushroom sticker packs! Can't wait to see how they come out! I watch your videos all the time, especially when I'm depressed or anxious. You've helped me on many a day, even though you don't know it, and I just wanted to thank you.
Such a striking face! The colors are lovely. Thanks for the video!
I am waiting on a few of these paints. Can't wait to try these out!
I've been playing DAI as well. Solas is my boo in that game. I'm glad my first guess was this was Solas from the thumbnail. Looks amazing
Oh gosh ive wanted these so badly since you first showed them!
You can put double edged tape at the bottom of the pallete and the colors won't wiggle
Oh I remember seeing a artist I follow on Instagram try out some of these! I’m glad to see more reviews of this brand because I’m actually interested in buying a few pans.
Came for the palette setup, stayed for the Solas art. Also he totally looks like hes about to say something intense about the Fade.
I wish I could watch a video of yours everyday. Just found you recently and realized by notifications were not set to,all. 😢. All fixed. You inspire me so much.
I really enjoy your videos!! They are perfect to get a start to my morning.
Wow! I am painting now with using this watercolors :)! I am in shock !
I love the painting. Can't wait for Dragon Age 4!
I got the tingles watching these swatches
Prussian blue is inorganic and lightfast!
It’s been exactly a year since I finished Dragon Age Inquisition. The elf keeps haunting me.
يخي فيديوهاتها تجننننن راحة نفسية 😭😭☁️✨
Love that this was posted on my bday. 😁
This reminds me of a MEL ODOM painting!
GASP! i THOUGHT the thumbnail looked a lot like the egghead elf that is solas, but its so cool that its actually him! i absolutely love dragon age as well! also these watercolors are so pretty..:o
Also omg which characters romance did you like the best? my faves are blackwall and sera :D
I love the look of these paints (may finally have a mosey over to Jackson's and buy some after dreaming of buying them from afar...), and your voice and painting style is always so relaxing. I actually did a little fist pump when the notif for this upload came up! Wonderful as always. :>
Thank you very much for this (and all the other Videos)! I recently treated myself with 12 Roman Szmal colors and I' m in love
Beautiful painting!! Also I LOVE Dragon Age, I must've played Inquisition through a good 10 times by now, it's just so much fun to create a new character and immerse yourself in that world.
Sorry if i missed it in your description but what is the brush that you used here? Amazing example piece btw! :)
Just added links to the description! Thanks for the reminder. ♥
@@arleebean thankyou so much
Omg I had to order that Mineral Violet!!!
It's such a lovely portrait. I'm sure Solas would appreciate it. ^^
Concerning Polish affordable brand, there is also Karmański, but I haven't used perso and I'm not sure if they are easily available abroad.
I love Dragon Age! I remember your video about being an artist as a parent (or vice versa), and I’m interested to hear your take on fitting in games in an already busy parent/artist life.
Ugh I have a few of their "special" colors and really enjoy them. Have to stop myself buying a ton of them for now
I am always absolutely amazed at how relaxing you are. Your videos are my favorite spot to go to on the internet
a hybrid between DS and Mission Gold? this paints sound like a dream!
Lol I'm currently playing (like at this exact moment in time) Dragon Age Inquisition, I'm a female elf mage and I'd have to say this is my favourite combo. I recently got the DLC pack so I'm down in the deep roads knee deep in darkspawn and I'm loving every second of it!!
For fans of the series who are your favourite party members to take along with you? I personally love having Iron Bull as a main because he's an awesome tank and I love his dialogue
I'm a die hard Cassandra Blackwall for the tankiness!
@@CurlySpicyGirl yeah I like to have either of them in my party as well; or both if I know I don't need a rogue for lock picking.
I find it interesting that if you consistently have Cassandra and The Iron Bull in your party then Iron Bull will start flirting with her and eventually she'll start flirting back! I love the quips of dialogue between characters while out exploring
Thank you for this video. Can you tell me what palette to use for these pans. Thank you!!!
Great video! Also which brush was that one you used in the swatches? the quill-like one
Will you try Renesans watercolor? (Polish brand)
The ideia of using one mixing area was nice, thank you for that! I have one question though.. how your husband shaved those tabs? I have the same problem with my white nights palette.
I just finished the Solas romance, seems I will now be forever haunted.
Have you seen this? I've watched it about a thousand times. czcams.com/video/VWITL3pv11M/video.html
I share your pain, Solavellan hell
Solavellan hell is inescapable
@@micr0bi0babe i will not thank you for bringing me back into solavellan hell. Dammit!!!!!!!!
@functional adult omg yessss!!!! I’ve watched it soooooo many times, any time I’ve got a few minutes I’m just like well time to get into the feels again 😂
Omg is this a live or a video? I mean, I love both, I'm just a little bit confused
It's a video :D Just premiered it live so we could chat and hang out for a few minutes ♥
Oh gawd. I saw this brand advertised the other day and was wondering about them - but since I already have a lifetime's supply of so many different brands... But now I'm craving some of those granulating ones... Argh!
But I do love watching you paint. 😂💕
Hi! Thanks for the review, it helped me to make a decision :^) May I ask the exact size of a full pan though?
This was better than meditation! #love #artgeek
Love this and these. Which neutral didnt you place? Ik have some of these and want to buy more.
Love your paintings, voice and tutorials.
Greetz from Holland, Europe. ❤️🍀
Will a 120gsm paper be suffice for watercolor?
Dragon age is one of the series that got me into gaming ❤
lovely portrait, seeing this vid is making me wanna give watercolors another try.. and oh boy im obssesed with dragon age lol. ive been following a bunch of the writers on twitter just praying theyll share stuff about da4 ;o;.
what's the yellow brush you used to paint the final painting?
Just added a link to the set it's from to the description. :D
@@arleebean thank you!
Hey! So it appers that we're developing some kind of hivemid, cause I did the same thing with white nights palette :D it's a pity that Roman doesn't have his own palette boxes. Boy, shaving that thing wasn't exactly quick :D
Hey Arlee! Would you be able or willing to add all of the colors you swatched in the description of the video? I’m curious to know. Thanks for your beautiful art and this channel!
Thanks!
Hi Arlee, will you try their new colours?
The Female Bob Ross! Your voice is so relaxing, I love your artwork. Keep it up! ❤️😁
Would love to hear about your warden, hawke & inquisitor!!
I am playing Inquisition too, for the first time ever! I'm playing a human rogue archer and I would like you making a fun relaxing video about it, if someday you need video ideas! Also Aquarius Green is amazing and I think it fits very well Solas aesthetic and Veil powers!
I have some watercolours from the brand, but what I find difficult is using granulating colours without lifting them (I used sennelier for a long time, and I paint mostly in washes) or making them seem too "worked on". Can you perhaps make a video about this? Some years ago you used sennelier (owning that huge palette is still a dream of mine) so it would be nice to have input from someone who also used them
how would you recommend i start with white nights? would there be a set you recommend?
I was thinking about trying those out as well! They look promising from what I’ve seen on the internet (and in-store before this pandemic 😂). I’d recommend looking up reviews and videos on the watercolors if you haven’t already. 🥰
Arleesha!! Killing me with the beautiful Solas fanart ;_; I have too many feels. I love Dragon age too! 😭💔
