    Thanks for this review. I agree, white needs to go ( except if you want to create pastel colours). I would change it for a true Phtalo Blue. Disappointment about Burnt Umber and Sienna containing PBk11. It would be so easy to make them monopigment. Your mixes were beautiful 😍 and show how versatile these colours are.

    Interesting to see a comparison between old and new versions. We do not know what motivates companies to change the recipe of their paints. Could be a good practice to move forward monopigmented and do not add white.

      I appreciate companies moving forward and finding pigments that do better, especially in term of lightfastness. We all wish for watercolor pieces that stand hundreds of years.

    Very interesting to see 😊 I think they probably used a very opaque version of PY42 for their Naples yellow reddish and that's why it looks so much like they've used white in there. Quinacridone red is one of my favorite colours, sad that you hadn't enough space. I don't own a turquoise tube of Van Gogh but I had the same problem with other tubes by nearly all brands. Depending on the pigment, some like to separate more. My best advice is use a toothpick to mix in the tube before squeezing out. This way you can reach the pigment on the bottom and mix it with the binder. Works really well.

    Как я люблю веселые обзоры, это намного интереснее скучного перечисления параметров ❤️ А еще всегда крайне занятно узнавать чужой выбор красок) У меня тоже лежит Naples Yellow Red, но применения ему не нахожу, какие твои любимые замесы с ним или используешь чистым?

      Спасибо :) я только начала снимать, пока ещё не очень комфортно себя чувствую, надеюсь, со временем буду адекватнее. Я неаполитанскую эту в чистом виде использовала пару раз, но не для реалистичных иллюстраций. Мешать с укрывистыми красками я не люблю. Кто-то для кожи её использует, но я портреты не рисую. А так, в небо или в песок добавить её, оттенок приятный.

    In case no one said this yet, the white spots are because of oil. The paper absorbed oils from your hand so the paint isn't absorbed in those areas.

      Yeah, can't control myself when it's about the watercolors. I ended up getting an empty box just a little bigger to accommodate all leftovers of the VanGogh and Rembrandt. But most of the time I still use just the one designed in this video. It kinda works for me.

    Ciao complimenti per il video! La cartella colori che hai realizzato é uno spettacolo per gli occhi 🤩. In effetti neanche io amo tanto l’aggiunta del bianco però ho notato che la royal talens mantiene una qualità e una trasparenza che in altri brand non ho visto e il bianco non disturba. Quel ceruleo mi sembra quasi più simile a un manganese hue e anche se mi piace non lo trovo usabile come sostituto di un ceruleo. Il turquoise green é un colore particolarissimo specialmente in una linea studenti. É un peccato per quel tubetto in cui la gomma arabica si è separata. Non mi é ancora successo con i Van Gogh ma mi é successo con marchi molto più costosi da cui proprio non te lo aspetti. Ho quel colore in godet e ho notato che in mass tone tende ad essere lucido per la gomma arabica. Forse é la formula che hanno usato anche perché ancora non mi é chiaro come hanno ottenuto quel verde da due pigmenti blu. Il pyrrole orange é davvero diverso tra Rembrandt e Van Gogh però tutte e due le linee hanno dei brighteners. Il PO73 del Van Gogh tende più al rosso ed é molto vivace rispetto al PO71 ma non riuscirei a scegliere sono tutti colori bellissimi e adoro la palette che hai composto. Sicuramente seguirò le tue novità e i tuoi lavori. 💗

    Individually and with Schmincka, not all colors are masterful, everyone is just smart on a piece of paper and they have two children's pictures, edit which picture to see your mastery and then criticize something. I use Rembrandt and Schmincke and in the beginning I wanted to throw them away, colors do not paint alone, it takes years of hard work to achieve a level of mastery if someone is not ultra talented and masters one of the most difficult painting media within a couple of years.

    (just a note - van gogh is pronounced "van GO" like to go somewhere. the gh is silent. in dutch though it's more like "fan Hohh" with a gutteral h on both ends. but american english it's "GO" ) : )

    • @mariram
      @mariram  Před 2 lety +2

      Cool, yeah I've heard how Americans pronounce "van Gogh". I am not American, English is not my first language. I speak 6 languages and I don't care for the accent or the little mistakes in pronunciation. Correcting people is not something we should do especially when they don't ask for it, most of the time it discourages them to continue speaking the foreign language. Anyways.. it was Maimeri Venezia, student line of Italian watercolors that is now discontinued. But I suggest you to get the Maimeri Blu if interested in this Italian brand.

      MARIЯAM sorry I wasn’t trying to upset you. And it wasn’t about the language, more about art brands and artist names. People I know have never heard the right way so they’re always shrugging when they say things, and saying “I don’t know how to pronounce it“. you know it’s really funny about corrections. A lot of people complain that nobody ever corrects them or tells them anything. And then other people get totally triggered and feel like they have to defend themselves. 🤷 so yeah, sorry you took offense.

      There is no "right" American english pronunciation of the name van Gogh, it's just a consequence of not being able to make the right sounds.

    This is because the colors are made in China, every pan made in the Netherlands is wrapped in a paper wrapper where it says every pigment, the color is semi-opaque, opaque, transparent, the difference is huge for colors that come from the Netherlands and have nothing to do with Chinese Van Gogh.
