Hi. First time viewer and I loved the way you addressed what was important for yourself specifically and why. Regarding Mission Gold, their issues were mainly when they first came out on the market about 5-7(?) years ago. They had a very bad marketing scheme in which they paid well known watercolorists to rave about them and at the time, were MUCH more expensive. Since then, they have learnt their lesson. They fixed their lightfastness issues, removed most (if not all) of their dyes, and their Pure Pigment line is the line that packages all their single pigment paint colors. I happen to have this one. I've found that they name the colors different from the pigment, choosing to name via what they look like vs what they are. They do not granulate or wick out on wet paper much due to their formulation of leaving out additives. I also think that it is a style choice. I've found Asian paintings tend to go for more smoother transitions so it could be just a regional preference. I love my pure pigment line and have renamed each tube by their pigment so that I'm not confused as to how they will act. Their transparency is great and I set out a swatch of the Pure Pigment line out by the window for one year in southern CA and there has been minimal shifting. Due to their creaminess, they also can be loaded into the nib of a dip pen. Happy painting!
My Panda Paints thank you for taking the time to give a review of these paints as well. I find it's always helpful to have more reviews on products. However, I find that I can truly trust her opinions on everything she demonstrates. I just wanted to acknowledge your opinion as well.
I like the formulation for these paints mostly because I can control where the paint goes so the lack of flow or wicking of paint is my favorite feature.
I would love to see a mushroom tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
I have the 24 set and would love to see more painting adventures with Mission Gold and this palette. I love these paints. They just feel really nice to paint with and give me good vibrancy for prints.
If I remember well, when these paints came out a few years ago, there was a big negative thread in one of the major artists forums, mostly complaining about lightfastness and the pigment formulation. After that Mijello reformulated the paints and also released the Pure Pigment Set.
I'm also a little disappointed that they don't spread much when applied wet on wet but at this price, if I need to paint using the spread effect, I can use pans from St. Petersburg White Nights. They spread like crazy :-)
Yas!! Do the mushrooms tutorial. They look awesome 😄
I looove your review so much ! More like the way you reviewed the paints. The things you mentioned and try and point out are very2 helpful ! Thank you !
love this! just purchased a pack based off this review. thank you for making this video
I just wanted to tell you that I am obsessed with your videos! I've never been one to watch CZcams videos (I'm more of a Netflix girl), but I just keep clicking on your videos!
Love those adorable mushrooms! I really appreciate all your videos :D
Hi Meredith, that was really helpful. I'm an art therapy student and I work only wet in wet (on soaked paper) and with glazing - so hearing that these colours work well in the glazing technique is great as I have read other reviews on Amazon to the contrary. Thank you for your complete review :-)
Thank you for the information about dye set and pigment set. I just checked my set and it's a pigment set which I prefer. Love your reviews
Thanks for your review. I also read the reviews about the pigments and lightfastness. I also had read that they reformulated them to address the lightfastness. I didn't have a problem with the pigments. I liked the look of the paints and that was good enough for me. I guess when the pigments become unavailable or too expensive to obtain, these won't look so bad to those that put them down now.
I don't have any problems getting these to mix on paper. I've got the set of 34 that you reviewed and will also be ordering the pure pigment set as well. There are some colors I want and it's cheaper to buy the set than buy the individuals.
Great review! You've got me wanting to buy them!
And those mushrooms are gorgeous. I've seen a lot of artists doing mushrooms lately (I guess that's what Autumn does to people) but yours have tipped me over the edge and made me want to try something similar for myself. Thank you for the inspiration and wonderful video. :)
I would love to see some of your portraits- maybe a tutorial? Love your videos:)
Would love to see the mushroom tutorial also. They were beautiful!!
That palette is so beautiful 😍
New subscriber here! Just got into watercolors and was looking into these paints, this video was really helpful I think I will go ahead and give them a try! :D ....P.S loving that cute seal and those adorable mushrooms! lol.
This was an awesome review. I have a review vid of the 36 color set myself and just recently someone commented with a link to an interesting site where someone tests the lightfastness. I was surprised to see that even a couple colors that have a 5 star lightfast rating on the box still changed. They did a 1 yr lightfast test. The colors that changed were Bright Opera (of course), Prussian Blue, Indigo and Olive Green. Send me a message if you'd like the link. It also includes a bunch of other lightfast tests. If I add it here I believe my comment will go into spam lol. And thanks for sharing! :) P.S. Those mushrooms are soooooo amazing!
KissMyCreative can you post the link here under your comment? I’m curious to the lightfast review.
KissMyCreative hii! Can you please send the mission gold lightfastness test?
Where I can find the big pallete you are using here ?
love your mushroom painting :)
Hi! I was wondering, what sketchbook do you use? I'm on a mission, searching valiantly for a sketchbook that doesn't buckle (at least not too much), and yours seems to hold up really well.
Tutorial on the mushrooms please! They are gorgeous

What brush are you using in the video?

Loving my Mission Gold paints! I have the set of 36 colors...so vibrant and beautiful. Wondering what brush you were using....looks like a squirrel brush. Thanks for sharing!
Hi there! Sorry for the delay in my response! The brush is a Princeton art Neptune series quill brush. It is faux squirrel. Hope that helps and thank you so much for watching! :) Best, Meredith

Hellooo what kind of sketchbook did you use?
mushroom tutorial! yippee
hey! Great video btw
so i was doing it while watching how u do watercolour, and i'm using just like block paper... and it doesnt blend well
idk how to really explain it tho ...
like the water dry off really fast and when the paper im using get water on it and i use the watercolour to paint over it .. the paper just like .. small bits of the paper is coming out ?
so i wanted to ask u if i'm using the wrong paper for watercolour or is it just something im doing wrong.
Hi there! It sounds like you are either using paper that isn't actually watercolor paper, or perhaps you are using a hot press block of watercolor paper.
The reason using actual watercolor paper as opposed to just any paper when painting with watercolors is so important is because watercolor paper has something called sizing in it. Sizing is basically a gelatin layer sandwiched in the paper during production. It keeps watercolor paint on the surface of the paper, preventing it from sinking in before you have time to work with it. Other papers do not have this sizing in them, causing paint to dry too fast, warp the paper, and pill the paper too.
On the other hand if you are using a hot press watercolor block, you're probably running into a problem because of the finish of the paper. There are actually 3 finishes watercolor paper comes in; rough (which has a lot of texture) cold-press (which has a medium amount of texture) and hot-press (which is smooth because it has very little texture.) Hot press paper can be troubling to beginners because although it is genuine watercolor paper and has sizing in it, it dries faster than the other finishes. And if you try to work it too much while it's drying the paper can pill (or like you said it, little bits can come off.)
My suggestion would be to first of all, make sure that you are using genuine watercolor paper (the package should have the word watercolor on it) and then perhaps try to find some cold-press paper. Cold-press is actually the most common, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Sorry for the super long response, but I hope that helps and thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
I was wondering on which one I should get....Mission Gold Class or Mission Silver Class. Can you give me recommendations? Oh and are they good? To like shade...? And can you give me a link to one of your pallets that you like the most? Thank you for this video! You gained a new subscriber! :D
Hi there! I honestly can't give an opinion on the Mission silver class watercolors as I have never tried them. However I would recommend this video by one of my favorite other CZcamsrs where she compares them side by side: czcams.com/video/AFHMsYtXPF0/video.html
The mission gold watercolors are great to shade and overall, I really like them. Most of my favorite pallets are ceramic so, you could really just use a ceramic dinner plate and you'd be on your way. I usually pick up a few at the thrift store every so often. If you wanted something designed for watercolors though, this one is a favorite among my subscribers: www.artistsupplysource.com/product/58381/porcelain-flower-palette-7-well/?origin=google_product_ads&gclid=CjwKEAjw7ZHABRCTr_DV4_ejvgQSJACr-Ycw6KxsH_x5nZ-2_8lDgi7FX_zApfyL11fdMQ9CgI3RhhoCqP_w_wcB
Hope that helps and thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
Can you post a link to which listing on amazon you got these from? Thanks so much, great review!
Hi there! Here is the exact link I purchased my set from: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BFCGF3I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The price has gone up by $55 since I bought them back in July, but you could check back in to see if they're running any black Friday promotions this week. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
do you post your portrait paintings anywhere? i'd love to see them! i'm a portrait painter myself :-) btw great review, i plan on purchasing these as a christmas present to myself haha!
Hi there! Sorry for the delay in my response! I don't post my portraits anywhere since they aren't my main source of income and most of the time they are commissions, but one of these days I'll do a sketchbook video tour and everyone will get to see a good sampling of my paintings. And merry Christmas to you, I bet you'll love these paints! :) Thank you so much for watching! Best, Meredith
I really want to see your portraits too!
What palette are you using?
Hi there! In this video I used my 13" Stephen Quiller palette. If you just google that, you should be able to find it on amazon. Hope that helps and thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
Mushroom tutorial pls
Hey there! Really like your videos! I wanted to buy some watercolours in pans and wanted to know if Winsor and Newton's Cotman watercolours are good? If you've used them can you please tell about them a little bit? Would really appreciate it :)
Hi there! Sorry for the delay in my response! The Winsor & Newton Cotman paints are my #1 recommendation for less expensive student grade paints. They are similar to Winsor and Newton's artist grade paint except they are made with more filler and less pigment, so they can be sold for less. It only means that they will be just a bit less vibrant than the more pricey artist ones. Other than that, they are a great choice, they mix well together, they come in both pans and tubes and they are made in the same color range as artist grade paints. Hope that helps and thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
Thanks so much! I'll definitely buy them in the near future!
How much is that set?
Cryztofr Mendiola 80$
hi where can i buy this pallette？i really like it
which brush do you use ?
Prepare 4More Looks like a Princeton Neptune quill size 4
does it have french ultramarine!!!!
Hi there! I just checked and the set does indeed contain Ultramarine Deep. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you have a lovely day! :) Best, Meredith
Really nice review! I love how you arranged them on your palette and your artworks with them look wonderful! From what I saw in other reviews of the Mission gold watercolours, they really don't flow much. Regardless I found this great lightfastness test of these and only 4 of them turned out to be fugitive. Surprisingly their Prussian blue was not lightfast. Here is the website where I saw it: theenchantedgallery.com/lightfast.html
