- In this video I share my first impressions of the Jackson's Art Watercolor paints. Jackson's art recently started selling half pans of their paints for the first time. Thanks to your wonderful support of bookmarking and using my jackson's art referral link I was able to purchase this set of 24 half pans. There is a rumor that these paints are the same as the Sennelier professional watercolor paints. In this video I got through my first impressions of these paints as well as test out this rumor.

I was just debating trying Jackson's, but I already own a lot of Sennelier. Now that I see how similar they are, I won't buy certain duplicate colors. Thank you very much for this comparison :)
Half the fun of getting new paints and pencils is swatching out! I am very happy with my Sennelier and D. Smith watercolor paints. Thanks for sharing this video.
you are so right! I love swatching! But i need to get a book that just has all my color swatches by brand all in one place!
Thank you for showing Karia :D
I just got my first M.Graham's and so far, I love them. But then again, I love the rich and vibrant colors. And your channel is one of the one I check first, every time I'm going to get myself some new paint. And I totally agree with you. It should be more small and workable tins in the world.
aww thank you that means so much to me!
😳😳😳 wowzer.... you’re on to something here. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Just a guess and it doesn’t work for all colors but it does for a lot. Definitely a recommendation for someone who wants sennelier but doesn’t want to pay that much!
Thanks for this info, I got the tubes and happy with them, might try the pans :)
Hi, this is an awesome video. I was thinking about buying these colours for my database mainly because of the rumors of them being "made by Sennelier", so thank you for adressing it and comparing them. It's actually nice, that there are significant differences, while they behave similarly. Thank you so much for your awesome content!
Thank you for watching! Let me know if you have questions!
@@ColoringKaria Thank you! That is very kind - I definitely will come back to you once I tried them myself. :)
The color grid in Jackson's website sometimes doesn't list all the pigments a color uses, the best way to be sure is clicking the specific product link, for example, their Hooker's green uses PG36 and PY83, according to the specs page for its half pan version. In general it seems their paints are rather good, I got myself a tube of JAS french vermillion (PR242) and looks quite good compared to Schmincke's geranium red (also PR242).
Hmm, I thought I was checking the product page, but it might have been the quick preview grid thing. But I will try the direct product link.
@@ColoringKaria Yeah, I've had this problem with paints from ther brands in Jackson's site, I hope they take the time to fix those little details, meanwhile, check here in the "specs" section: www.jacksonsart.com/jackson-s-artist-watercolour-paint-half-pan-hookers-green

Thanks Karia! This review helped a lot. Just bought the Student Grade Sennelier by accident (long story). Although they work very differently from my DS paints...I like them...a lot. So if I continue with them, I will surely try the Jackson's first. So thanks again!
I was doubting buying these but they honestly look so nice
Great video, honestly I have the same problem with having too many blues in a palette so I relate. Also your voice is quite soothing :)
I LOVE your idea for a 24 count tin. I really hope that you end up doing a Kickstarter to make that happen. I’d support it without question.
I like how you talk so clearly and come to the point straight away!
I brought jackson half on sale. 14 pans 1Old Holland tube golden Barok red. I had tin at home. Paid $40 live USA and got very fast.😌👍
hi Karia - cerulean blue is PB28 - cobalt blue. viridian PG18 +PG7. hookers green PY83 + PG36. perm sap green PB29 + PY153... very nice paint and works easier than Sennelier...
Hi Karia, just starting out in water colours and found you video very informative thank you
awe thank you! I have watercolor 101 and 102 videos that you might find helpful.
I would love to see a flip through of your sketchbook
They really look very similar to Sennelier. I haven’t tried either yet. These are on my list now. Wow, an Hermès bed! Stuey you are a lucky cat 😂.
LOL!!! 😂🤣! I’m sure if Hermès actually sold cat beds they would be made of leather and wood and cost like $3,000. This was free and he likes it exactly as much as he would the real thing. He also has a “Chanel” cat “studio condo” 😂🤣🤦🏾♀️ (it’s a smaller box!”)
ColoringKaria LoL I love it a Chanel studio condo. Only the best for Stuey!
Private label paints don't have to be exactly the same to be made by the same company, especially when the private label paint is less expensive. There are enough similarities to hypothesize that Sennelier makes a modified or customized version for Jackson's, much like other companies make various retailers' paints. The clincher for me is that Sennelier has some unique color/pigments that match Jackson's. The price at Jackson's is really very affordable so very tempting to buy a few colors. On Jackson's website, Hooker's Green is listed as PY83 & PG36 (same pigments as Sennelier) probably a typo on the packaging as you mentioned.
Thanks for comparing these paints!!
You are right of course. It’s just for the sake of fairness I can’t say with 100% that they are the same but only that there is clearly some sort of connection. Being sort of “a CZcams” I have to try to be more circumspect about what I say and how I say it. You are right though that there is enough here to say that Jackson’s is almost certainly made by sennelier. I did not know that about their brushes! Now I have to check them out.
For me though the clincher is really that burnt sienna burnt umber. Sennelier’s are distinctive in how they are. Not only distinctive but radically so. It always stood out to be because it’s not an expensive pigment pbr7 so it’s a choice to make it more subbed than any other professional grade paint on that first pass. It also has this way of mixing where even though that first pass is subdued when it is mixed with other colors it sort of isn’t as much anymore. It’s not my style so I don’t usually use it. But I can see why it might be to for some.
Quinacridone purple and helios purple are the same... PR122. i've read somewhere that a third party makes both brands paints for them under license that could explain the whole issue... sometimes its simply sennelier tubes with the jackson's label on it (see Teoh Parkablogs video)
Thanks for your videos. I watch all the time. I watch you on my Amazon Fire Box which doesn't allow me to leave a comment. So I thought I would leave you a comment using my desktop computer. Keep up the good work.
Aww thank you that’s so kind of you
Excellent vid cuz, these look very nice and very much like the Sennelier paints I’ve tried as well; is there a big price difference? I love viridian it mixes very nicely with quin rose or any pinky red especially when it’s a nice granulating version of viridian to make a nice neutral or you can mix it with ultramarine blue (pb 29) and athroquinone red (pr 177) to create your own moonglow which is a beautiful shadow color, made even better if both your viridian and ultramarine are heavily granulating. Viridian like pthalo green is a mixing color and should never be used on its own. Give them a try in those combinations and you’ll find you’ll fall in love with viridian. I’m hoping your well and enjoying the new year!
Thank you! Oh I’ll try that, I haven’t tried that in the past.
There is the Jacksons are cheaper than the sennelier for most if not all colors.
Thanks, does Jackson’s ship to Mexico? I haven’t checked yet. I’m looking for a substitute for my beloved Holbein which I no longer have access to, my source for the last 10 years has moved to the US and the cost via Amazon is outrageous (15mil tube costs a much as a 24 tube set) and so I’m struggling right now I was hoping that Schminke would be a good substitute but it’s not and cost is just to high. Thanks!
Jackson’s does a good job of shipping to lots of places. I would check out the website and see! They even started offering discounted international shipping.
That’s good to hear I’ll check it out. Thanks again!
Thanks, for sharing this review, my experience with Jacksons Watercolor Paint ---- is not good most of the paints has a defective misture of binder and pigment. However, the customer service is great. I highly suggest not to purchase this brand for the moment.
Did you get the tube paints or the halfpans? Sounds like there was some separation of binder and pigment. This can happen with any brand but seems more likely with brands that sit on the shelf for a long time.
@@ColoringKaria Thanks for your attention. I received them in tubes, I fully agree in some brands, that I received seperation of binder and pigment can happen, however in my Jacksons wc paint, around 5 out of 12 has this problem.
Do you have any experience with their tube paints? I buy the small tubes and it is enough for 3 half pans.
I don’t but it should be the same or very similar. The sennelier tube vs pans paints look exactly the same, though they tend to dry on the wet side.
Hey Karia!
Great detailed review, as always!
Just wondering if you knew where to get the lightfastness information for the Jackson’s Watercolours from? I can’t seem to find any.
Thanks heaps in advance! x
I've seen others say they compare to Schminke. I've never used Sennelier or Schminke so I wouldn't know if these two brands have similarities too?
There are some similarities but sennelier layers better though is slightly less vibrant to start. Still these aren’t close to the schminke but they match the sennelier almost perfectly
good job..love your style!!!!
Thank you SO incredibly Much Karia! this is such a fantastic review and comparison! Im new to watercolours and greatly appreciate all your work! Edit: May i ask, you mentioned about the weak burnt sienna, but do you think it is ok/ sufficient? I was interested in purchasing the Sennelier burnt sienna (i was looking for a non granulating burnt sienna for specific purposes and i think the Sennelier burnt sienna doesn't granulate... i could be completely wrong . It was just one option i was looking at tho.)
It’s totally fine. You are right it was smooth and not as granulating as other brands. I only mention it because some people might want something stronger. But if you want it for it’s layering or other reasons it’s perfectly fine.
@@ColoringKaria Thank you so incredibly Much Karia FOR taking the time to reply! Greatly appreciate!!
Is the Jackson cerulean blue legit? It looks a bit different from other artist grade cerulean blues that I have seen.
All the paints were purchased directly from Jackson’s art as I stated at the start of the video. There will be variations between brands. The sienna/umbers are different from many other brands which was one of the biggest tip offs that these are almost certainly made by sennelier for Jackson’s.
@@ColoringKaria Thank you for letting me know!!!! I've seen a youtuber say that it might be a cerulean hue so I was a bit confused. I also forgot to respond to your comment, but wanted to let you know that I appreciated the comparison between jackson and sennelier, as I had never heard of the brand before. After watching this video, I ordered the Jackson's individual pans (mostly half, but a couple full too) and the quality is just amazing!! I wish I had ordered more full pans instead now, as it is rare for me to make a purchase to Jackson's (due to living in the US) and now it is making me me feel reluctant to use them too much haha. I was also wondering if you are still fond of the Sennelier set (I saw in another video that you had tried the 98 tubes) and if the price is worth the purchase if one has an extensive watercolor collection?
Good video.
After watching all your product reviews over the years I have one burning question. How do you store all these art products? You certainly don't have a lot of space as so many of us do not. So are you a storage genius?
LOL not a storage genius. But I have a lot of stuff in book shelves stacked like books. I have actually sold or give away a fair amount of stuff after reviewing it. But a lot of things are stored stacked like books. All my walls are covered in book shelves.
I have purchased Jacksons watercolor paint in tube, I can say that the the quality of the paint is not even worth to try, because it has a lot of binder - out of 12 colors 8 of them are not usable. Especially Cerulean and Quinacridon Gold.
Hermes?
LOL!!! Yes! It’s my little joke. It’s a brand that sells $1,000 baby blankets, so I thought it would be funny if they sold cat boxes, they would probably charge $750 for similar. Made of leather and wood and so on. But Stewie doesn’t care he likes it.
If you don't like mentioning your vision problems then just don't. We're perfectly fine with your lifting the board to see it better. Besides, this we see it better as well.
Ah if only life were so simple. When I forget to mention it the trolls come out in force. It’s easier to mention it than to deal with the abusive comments which I have to read in part before deleting and blocking.
Smell them. Seriously. If they smell the same...
They do BUT I only have the half pans from Jackson’s and the tubes tend to have a stronger smell.
@@ColoringKaria Well, I've never come across paints that smell quite like Sennelier. And my theory was that the probability of Jackson coming up with the exact same mix of gums, sugars and dispersion agents should be small. Well, it was an idea.
'Bout "too many blues", the way you use paints, coloring, and pans, you kinda can't have too many :). But if you paint, do paintings, then lot's of paints totally get in your way. About 8 - 12 is plenty.
'Bout Viridian and "some place for it", watercolors are not like pens and pastels. You don't buy different hues. You buy different pigments, and their specific chemical and physical properties. The role of genuine Viridian is that it's absolutely permanent. Very, very few pigments are. Phthalo green is not.
@@Vermiliontea thanks! That is good to know that this is an issue of permanence something I honestly dont really worry too much about.
yeah i can totally see how too many colors would get in your way. I really like having that 23-24 set to travel with even if im only using 3-6 colors per sketch or drawing or coloring. I know some artist work with very limited palettes, but i have seen Daniel Smith share from artists who use what has to be at least 30+ in these tiny wells.
@@ColoringKaria Lol, when I use pans, I'm an even greater sinner 😉. I have 48-sets.
I forgot to say that Viridian isn't staining and lifts well. That's probably a more common reason to prefer it to Phthalo green in watercolors, because Phthalo is also very permanent and not really a concern unless you intend to bake it in desert sun. Genuine Viridian tends to be difficult to dissolve from pans and is maybe a bit weak in watercolors, but it's a lovely pigment in oil. But expensive.
Ahhh! That does explain a lot. I love pan sets. I have two 48 ones that I purchased plus a 36 plus 3 more 44 that I made.
Both of these paints are student quality.
Sennelier is absolutely not student grade. this is their professional line of paints.They do have a student line of paints called the la petit aquarelle, those are different and less pigmented than the ones shown here. I do all my own extensive research and would never present student grade paints as anything else.
