- NEW! Arteza 36 Half Pan Watercolor Set Review
Today we are going to take a look at the new Arteza 36 half pan watercolor set. It currently sells for $34.99 on the Arteza website: shrsl.com/15rha and there is also a 12 pan set for $24.99 shrsl.com/15rhf The 36 set is a better deal and the color options would be more useful plus you get 24 extra colors for an extra $10. You can get 10% off with coupon code: PROMO10 and all items ship free making it a low barrier to entry for this or any of their products. You can also find this set on Amazon for $35.99 and there is a $5 off coupon today: amzn.to/2N5BHC8
Here is a link to the swatching/color mixing stamps: shrsl.com/15rqd
I have been using Arteza products for about 10 months and I have been really impressed with the quality for the price. The only Arteza product that I didn't love was the tube watercolors (they were OK for a student grade but didn't knock my socks off and I thought there were better student options for around the same price) so when a viewer told me about the pan sets I knew I wanted to give them a try as I often prefer the pan formulations of student/craft grade supplies over tube.
*Note, these paints are under their "premium" line but I am going to classify them as student grade for reasons I mention in the video.
Pros:
Price
Sturdy metal tin palette that is bright white and the paint does not bead up on. Also the mixing flap stays level and doesn't flop on the table at an angel. *the tin is about 1/4" shorter than other 48 half pan tins which makes it sturdier but other inserts will not fit in it nor can you sneak an extra half pan in the row.
Good for glazing as colors are hard to lift and quite transparent.
Wide range of vibrant colors and no white
Includes a nice waterbrush
Cons (and I hold Arteza to a high standard so I might be a bit picky here)
No pigment info or lightfast ratings
The colors had a tendency to stain so lifting could be difficult (but good for glazing)
Some of the "fingers" that held the pans in needed to be adjusted with pliers to reach the top of the pans.
Bottom Line: These paints are fun and inexpensive. They work great on most papers even the really inexpensive Arteza paper. In my tests they worked best wet on dry as they were easy to glide around dry paper with a brush but I found them slow to disperse in a large wet in wet wash. They acted more like Eastern watercolors in that respect. If you like to do loose flowers (like the roses I showed in the video) or paint stamped designs they are a great choice because you can control the flow of the paint better and it stays where you put it but if you prefer large wet in wet washes these might not be the best (or you might need to add some ox-gall as a dispersant/flow enhancer.) They glaze and layer very well but lifting is a challenge so save your whites as you are painting or plan to use mixed media should you want bright white highlights later. At $35 they are a nice set of paints and there is room in the tim if you want to add more (I suggest adding an ultramarine blue) in the future. If you need some inexpensive paints these are a good bet!

My 12 half pan set is currently in the delivery van, but I've been so pleased with the (many) Arteza products so far, all purchased on a Social Security income, that I'm really looking forward to doing more than swatching and creating card backgrounds before I turn 80 in February. The only physical WC class I attended years ago produced a monstrosity that the fridge refused to display on its door and put me off the medium mightily, so you're now my teacher with your thorough videos. Keeping the experimentation stash I've amassed -- unused -- to learn the difference between WC apples and oranges. So grateful for what you do for us, Lindsay.
Thank you!
She calls those roses DOODLING?!?! THATS AMAZING!
Just an FYI
When Arteza says "Premium" that means it is their 'intermediate' grade, they claim to have a 'Classic' line of products that are 'student' grade' but I do not see any of their products with that label. In fact, even their 'Kids' products all say Premium.
This is a copy paste from an Arteza employee on their youtube channel:
"Expert - artist grade, premium - intermediate , classic is student grade."
---
I do like some of their products but I was annoyed when I received their 'Premium' watercolor pencils thinking it was their artist grade ones. (I bought a 48 set thinking it was just a smaller version of the 'Expert' 72 set)
Turn out they only have one set of 'Expert' watercolor pencils and I got shipped their 'Premium' pencils. So I was bummed, annoyed, sent them a email explaining how confusing this is and I should be able to get the classifications on their website, not a random youtube comment.
So with that said, love their waterbrushes and I'm interested in this 36 pan set and leave my sakura koi for plein air painting.
Thanks for the review :)
That makes sense now that I think about it, thanks!
I needed to watch a review on this set because my dad wouldn’t stop pestering me for what I wanted for my birthday. This was perfect 😌
That's not a bad way to be pestered.
Hi Lindsay, Please, please show us the watercolor flowers tutorial. Love your work and I like to try and paint along! Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials!!!!
Yes please!! Loved the Roses from the sketchbook!
Winsor and Newton actually have slightly different formulas between their pans and tubes so that the pans rewet more easily
Anything that Newton Winsor & Newton puts together they have the greatest products they also have a product called Derwent and it's pencils and also blocks the blocks I use as dies on my silk products dyes and it's permanent dyes so all you have to do is put the blocks on your on your fabric whether it's silk or cotton and take it to when I and then he said it and it's done it's so much easier and faster than to go out and buy liquid dies I would suggest that you take the blocks which is like a Shorkie substance soft soft truck and I would suggest that you take a little paring knife and scratch it down to a little container like a little baby jaw not that much and just put a little bit of water around it and then Stir It Up and you could paint it also so it's a it's a
I just got mine! Pretty excited to use it after reading and watching the rave about it. It’s not bad for the price considering the selection of colours.
I just ordered them, I’m so excited!! I can’t wait to get this set 😄
I tried the tube colors and really did not like them...on top of that they cracked and crumbled everywhere! Maybe I’ll give these a shot...thanks for the info 😊
love to see your drawing with watercolour and this great show at what watercolour different 👍😀
I think the tubes were ok. I really like the pan paints. For the money, I think they are good. I think we become art product snobs. They are not professional watercolors but for the money, I think they are great.
Really thorough review 😃. I really loved how you delivered all necessary details to your audience 😃. These kind of videos are so helpful for people like me who love painting but can't waste money on worthless products 🙂. I also did a review of markers on my channel but I now I feel should work harder on my videos ♥️😃.
thank you:)
I am so glad that you did this. I saw these on their website really. I have been wanting to get these. I will say you can usually google for a 20%off code to use on the arteza site. You can probably get the price under 30
good to know!
It's disappointing that they seem to have not gotten back about pigment info. I've asked a few times and they normally have great customer service, but seem to be avoiding providing an answer on this issue. So I probably won't be trying their watercolors even though they have pretty good reviews. I like to know exactly what I'm using and how lightfast it is.
They finally got back to me on Instagram and said they didn't know what I meant by "pigments" and sent me a link to the chart with the names of each color. 😢 I will be glad to try them if they ever have pigment info for the pans like the tubes do.
@@leahvandoloski8764 They said that they do not know what you mean? LOL, ok. I am going to ask them the same thing now, I want them to answer. If they tell me that they don't know what I mean by pigments, I will ask them if this means that they simply made stuff up when they provided the *pigment* info on their other products. I hate it when companies play stupid in order to not have to deal with customers or to avoid having to admit to something not being as great as they made it out to be.
Those paints look pretty nice. Every time I see all these Arteza reviews, I REALLY want to try them, but they don't ship to Canada so it's Amazon or nothing. As you noticed, the prices on Amazon are quite inflated.
that's a bummer:( They had come out with some really lovely products.
I just now ordered them
I was happy to see you review this set. I have plenty of paint but I'm always wanting to try something new. Not sure if that is some sort of art hoarding thing or not. LOL!!!! I found it interesting that you use a magic eraser for your palettes. I just discovered this trick a few weeks ago by accident. Since I'm fairly new to watercolor all my palettes are new and were driving me bonkers with the paint beading up. Most especially the plastic ones. So I started experimenting to see if I could find something that would work without being overly abrasive. I almost felt bad to rough them up though. They seem to stain more easily now but like you said just run the eraser over them and it cleans right up. My once hated plastic palettes are now among some of my faves.
Kim Henderson talk about hoarding...I have all kinds of watercolor supplies, brushes, paints, paper pads, beginner books, and all kinds of mixed media supplies. I lovvvvvvve shopping for and buying supplies and I am an absolute beginner! I’ve set up a complete art studio in my house! It all brings me great joy! 😂😂❤️❤️
Another awesome review! Love the landscape and can't wait to see the tutorial! :) I've actually been loving Arteza and have been super happy with their growth since they first started out. They're not perfect, but they seem to be listening and paying attention to the steps they need to take to keep consumers loyal. And their prices are very fair, considering that they're more student/intermediate level at best and that they usually have at least an extra 10% coupon you can use too. I've been recommending the brand for people to try out compared to just a company like Artist's Loft (which I also enjoy, but they can be hit or miss depending on the products) And so far no one has majorly complained about the products they've bought from them since it's mainly clear what you're in for to begin with. And worse case scenario, someone ends up not liking them but at least their wallet didn't take a major hit compared to what they could have tried.
Excellent review Lindsay, I loved the work you done with these paints, I’ll have to get a wee set and give them a try. Outstanding review as always Lindsay
Thanks Harry:) I'd go for the larger set, it is only $10 more for the additional 24 colors and you can always use the 48 half pan size tin for other watercolors if you didn't like them. I think the choice of colors in the smaller set may limit mixing.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich thanks Lindsay I think I’ll definitely do that, makes sense.
Thank you for the review! I was very curious about the pan watercolors
Hello Lindsay well sweet girl I have been using the Masters Touch paint for sometime and I like it. We dont have much of a choice because we only have Hobby Lobby to buy paint unless we go one line. I love your classes thanks for all you do for us.
I was really surprised how well their half pans did compared to other brands, I love a bargain:)
Dianne D Duhaime - I gotta say I love shopping online! Where else can you shop in your PJ's? 😉 Love those 40% off HL coupons tho! LOL! Have a Great day!
Great review! I was curious too and used them in a papercrafting video on my channel this week. I agree with you. Didn’t love the tubes. The gouache tubes are ok. They seemed good for a starter set for someone to get a feeling for watercolor. They reminded me of Prima. The tin though... nice. I had mixing trouble and they really didn’t flow/disperse in water. They stayed where I put it. Still... fun set good for beginners. Not a bad price and not a bad option for papercrafters. I wouldn’t use them in my professional paintings, but that’s ok. 😊
Excellent review Lindsey. Thank you so much. I think I'll Save my pennies and stick with Cotman and the two QOR six color sets until I can treat myself to some Senellier. Maybe for Christmas . 😘😘😘
I absolutely love Qor watercolors. In my opinion they're just as good as Daniel Smith. :)
you have excellent options already:)
@@thefrugalcrafter Super. Good to know. As a beginner I have limited experiences ( and really limited budget) . I love to layer and the Cotman and QOR are working well for that. Except I'm terrible at mixing greens. Overzealous with the blue. Lol.
annette fournier - The Senellier are nice, but I Really like how the M. Graham perform even better! Watch the sets of five on Amazon, sometimes the prices dip down to super affordable levels. Plus the tubes are big so it makes them a Great value. 😊
@@longyarn4288 The M Grahm or the Sennellier? Sennellier is supposed to have great transparency. Dies M Grahm as well?
Watching this video and a lot of your other reviews I'm shocked by how much the prices of watercolor sets have changed compared to merely a year ago. I've heard people say the demand is up since everyone is home doing art. I guess that's a good thing
Let’s see how many haters will comment on this, lol, but anyways, I’m looking for a set of watercolors for a gift for a 15yo artist that does some amazing work. Would you recommend a “student” grade of paints like this, or spend a little more for a smaller set of artist grade paints? I’m trying to take into consideration how valuable a limited amount of colors is so she can learn to mix colors easily, or do you think that really matters at this stage because she is on the younger side? I really would value your opinion on this matter. She is a wonderfully creative student who is seriously considering making a career out of watercolor painting. I always love your reviews and have made many purchases because of them. Lol my husband would disagree lol. According to him I have a problem. Hope you and yours are well. Thank you for all your time making your videos!
I think you will only find love here lol.. I think it's really awesome that you care about a 15 year old's creative practice and the supplies they use. In my experience the Cotman line is great for beginners. The new pallets that came out that fan out also seem to be great paints and teens seem to love them as well. M. Graham are my favorite, with Qor a close second. That being said, the paper seems to be an important thing to consider also, and even if the paints are cheaper, as long as you have a good paper then it makes a big difference in the end result. I hope this helps. Many Blessings to you and yours, Stacy
If you can get hold of them try the white nights paints they are artist quality but more in line with student prices I dont rate the cotmans at all I find them chalky and difficult to mix, Jacksons art (in the UK good shipping to US from what I have heard) do some good deals on the white nights and they also have their own brand too which I have heard good things about but not tried myself yet hope this helps :-) x
@@kellydunigan2525 I am gonna have to try the White Nights. I have heard great things about them. :-)
Benny Chavez I suggest you see what the prices are for the white nights, and also price the WN Cotmans. Then with school starting and Christmas coming, you might find an artist grade paint at a sale price close to that of white night or student grade. Windsor Newton artist grade are very good, and they go on sale often. A set of 12 or 18 is a good starting point. If it’s only a few dollars difference, it would be worth getting artist grade paint for your teen. And maybe find some Bee 100% cotton paper so this girl or boy can experience watercolor paints at “full potential” without breaking the bank. What a great thing to encourage a young artist!
hmmm, good question, I think I'd choose a reliable student brand that offers replacement. My instinct would be to go with a Cotman set (either the 12 sketcher box half pan set of if your budget allowed the 24 full pan studio set because you can get a 1" brush in a full pan if they like to do landscapes or work large. They can also easily find tubes of cotamn or W&N Artist colors are any art store or many big box craft stores if they need to replenish the colors and want the same. Are you i the US? If so Amazon has a good price on both. I also like the Sennelier La Petit Aquarelle, Van Gogh and Academy but finding refill tubes at a local big box or art shop might be problematic if they want to keep the same colors. Another choice that is budget friendly, bright, full pan and comes with a nice palette is the student version of White Nights called sonnett, meeden has one in a tin here: amzn.to/2O7Dcwb otherwise you can but the set of sonnett aints for around $20 but they come in a cardboard box. They can order full pans to replace then on Etsy for about $3.50 each if they want or buy a tbe from another brand in the craft store. It is an excellent buy for an older student. I think 4 out of the 24 colors are not fully lightfast but they are really vibrant and disperse well. Also you can look up pigment info. It is a good time to be a student, there are so many quality inexpensive options.
Great video! Could you do a video on the roses? There soooo! Pretty! Thanks for sharing 💜🤗
Thank you for this review and love their acrylics but got their tube water color set & only way can use them is straight out of the tube? Then not having a real ultramarine or cobalt blue just don’t use them much!
Medium beginner but on their water colors feel needs a lot of improvement!
well just saw the part of this video where you describe the paper you are using! LOL should have waited to the end of the video. I had asked because the painting with the mountains and rocks looks like the travel sketchbook I sometimes use where the objects - like the mountains - look flat with no depth... I don't have that problem with really good paper like Arches block etc. That's why I asked. Thanks Lindsay
Hey Lindsay, great review & comparison, thank you 🌾🌺🌛
Great review! The only Arteza product I have are the colored pencils and am happy with them. I wish tho' that they came sharpened to a point instead of flat across. The price is good and your painting looks great! TFS
I's probably because they are machine sharpened probably to ensure the leads are OK, it only takes a second to bring them to a point and ot is way nicer than having to sharpen then from completely flat like the old prismacolor sets, it was a full day activity LOL!
Thanks Lindsay, I have been doing that as I use them and you're right it isn't really such a big deal! Better than arriving broken right! I do love them and will for sure check out some of their other products once we go south, which won't be long now!
I got these for my birthday afew days ago!
Sofia Gabriel / 🌞happy belated birthday 💐 hope you liked the paint set 🍁
Arteza has been playing no games this year and last year with the releases. I LOVE their water brushes and I wish i had this set when i first started painting with watercolors instead of that pentel water brush. I plan on buying the gouache and that clay set you featured on here too.
Their gouache is my favorite!
Their half pans look similar to the master's touch half pans in the plastic 18 half pan set that comes with a mini waterbrush. Those pans are slightly bigger than the half pans from their 12 and 48 sets, for some reason, and the paints from the 12 and 18 sets are noticeably different-looking than the 48 set. They felt a little different when I touched them, too. I wonder if Arteza and master's touch pans from the 18 color set came from the same supply company. I wonder if there is a way to send you a few so you could compare them.
I am not sure, the 18 set looks like the Jerry Q Art set I ordered from amazon a couple of years ago. they could very well come from the same place but I found these to be brighter than the jerry q ones I tried back then, truth be told I bought it for the palette LOL!
Lol, that's the same reason I got them, for the pans and the palettes, and popped the paints out. It was really the reason I got the 48 set, too, but they have a little glue holding the paint in and has made popping those out a real pain.
Lindsay, you're right it is Meedam
Great video^^
But in your video description you mentioned that they are the "Premium" paints and you would consider them student grade...
Actually arteza calls their student grade supplies "premium" and the artist grade supplies "expert". So they do market those pan sets as student grade
Thanks for the info!
I love the Arteza watercolors! But I don't think they are anything but Student grade
Hi, what brand paper is this painting on please. Thanks so much for all your videos and great info & reviews!
The only Arteza product I've purchased if their gouache. Being that it's the only gouache I've ever tried, I'm curious how you would compare them to artist quality.
They seem very similar to me, I have some M Graham gouache, lukas gouache and the arteza, I have used other student grade gouaches as well, I'd say they are better than reeves, about the same as lukas studio and the m graham are a smidgen better and that is because the m grahm dons'y fall out of the palette when it dries down (I had to add a few drops of glycerin to mine but honestly I don't notice a lot of differences in gouache.
Thanks Lindsay. I would probably enjoy the experience more using artist quality gouache, but in not interested enough to make that leap. I'll stick with my lovely watercolors. Thank you again.
Thank you for this review, Lindsay. In your opinion, which do you think is the better quality/value: this set or the Shinhan 30 tube set for $25?
Honestly I'd get the shinhan if it were me. They will dry down fine in a palette to buy they don't come with one.
Great review ... thank you!
If you don’t put your watercolor painting in glass frame is there anything you can put on your paintings that would protect it? I really enjoy your videos and I have learned so much from you. I’m new at watercolor painting but I have a lot of experience acrylic painting but I have noticed a big difference between the two types of painting. Please keep videos coming. I’m now trying to do watercolor painting and making cards. I also really enjoy your shopping haul videos because you teach me different ways of using things. Thank you for your time
If you keep them in a sketchbook or portfolio until you are ready to frame them it will be fine. Since they are on paper and the paint is a fragile film they really should have a mat and glass for long term safety. If I am selling them I put them in clear cello bags that are archival to keep them clear at art fairs and that works great. Otherwise I store them in a big folder.
I didn't know they had half pans I got the tubes gerrrr look like I'm gonna have the half pans
You can squeeze tubes into pans and let them dry, they dry very very fast in my experience
I'd add a few drops of glycerine or honey to the tube paint if you are going to let it dry in a palette so it didn't crack and fall out.
Which do you like better between these and Pretty Excellent" pan paints?
Do u like these better than the Pretty Excellent brand?
Because I prefer tranceparency I prefer the pretty excellent brand. The arteza has a nicer tin tho.
I have the smaller set, I believe 12 halfpans and they are the only paints that have ever gone mouldy on me!
Oh no! What kind of climate do you live in?
@@thefrugalcrafter I live in Norway, on top of a mountain, dry, cold, occasionally wet but the palletes I make sure are 100% dry before I put them away
@@ChiseledDiamond that's so odd. I'm in maine and it is humid in the spring and summer and my paints are in the cellar and no mold on my arteza 36 set. Huh.
@@thefrugalcrafter yeah, I have no clue what it could be!
I've had the tubes for a long time and they do just fine while dried in pans with a drop of glycerine!
@@ChiseledDiamond And you mean it's really regular, hairy mold? I'm asking cause it's so unusual for pan paints to go moldy if you let them dry out properly. Sometimes watercolors turn a little white, like they get this white stuff that covers them, like mildew, and it's just something to to with some of the ingredients kinda separating over time. My Lukas watercolors got this after I did not use them for a couple of months, and I also thought it was mold at first. Maybe it's that?
Do you have a tutorial or do you plan on doing one of those roses from your sketchbook? I love them!!
I went over the roses extensively in my Watercolor Flower Workshop:) lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/loose-juicy-watercolor-florals and now they are my go-to doodle test, I also have easy instructios for many loose flowers:)
I do like your roses.
Mine has the exactly same problem with the pans. Several of them won’t stay in and I haven’t been able to fix it.
Use pliers to uncurl the metal at the top of the pan holder a bit and you should be able to loosen it enough to grip the pans. This is an adult job so if you are a kid ask your parents to help:)
Is there a difference between the fine liners and the ikonic pens? It's kind of unclear to me....wondered if you might know.
My question are the watercolor pans the same colors in the watercolor or regular pencils do they match up?
Hi Lindsay, great review! Very thorough 😊
Hi Lindsay! I am very new to the watercolour.your videos inspired me a lot! This review makes me want to order one immediately since it costs only around 30usd in amazon. However, I got few watercolour set already, like meiliang, paul rubens, w&n cotman 45, van gogh,shinhan and mission gold tubes. Do you think this product worth to get one even i I own those products i have mentioned?
No, id pass, the sets you have are very similar. I'd stick with what you have:)
How do you get watercolors to not bead up on palettes? The meedan ones ones bead up and stain a bit
I scraped mine with really fine sandpaper.
try washing with dish soap and then wiping it down with a magic eraser.
Eh im more happy with my cotman :) but also I have a question for you lindsay :) how do you feel about the self moistening watercolor brush pens? I really want to purchase them and i was wondering if there worth any form of my money lol anyways :) thank you for your time :) and reply btw anyone can reply to this it doesn't have to be just Lindsey :) feel free to share your opnions! I love hearing others opinions too!
I prefer normal brushes but I do like the artza pack with the buttons on the side to advance the water plus they are a bargain. amzn.to/2QdL9Fb
I recently purchased the Arteza 42 color compact travel set. I swatched out and the colors are beautiful. However, there are no names for the colors. Do the numbers on the end of each fan out piece indicate pigment colors or is it just their numbering system. Anyplace to find out the color names on this one. Thanks, Lindsay
Are you sure that was Arteza? It sounds like the Superior fan set that many sellers are selling on Amazon (I reviewed one I bought on Amazon sold by Meeden) and if that is the one the numbers don't relate to pigments, they are the factories numbering system. Beautiful colors tho!
If I were to ask you to choose between Arteza 36 pan set or the Meiliang 36 pan set which would you choose?
Meilang (the tin that days pretty excellent) for the paint, but the arteza tin is nicer.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you!
TherArtiza is on the bottom of my list. I would rather use Master's Touch.
This video is awsome
thanks!
This was a very good review. I don't think I will buy these paints, though.
Hey Lindsay. Great video as always. Curious. Arteza calls it Oxford blue. I think my Winsor and Newton set is Winsor blue. Does that mean my Winsor blue is not real aquamarine blue? I’ve always wondered about this and thought it would be a good time to ask.
Still annoyed that Arteza doesn’t ship to Canada though. I’ve yet to get my hands on any of these products. I have tried amazon.ca, but many of their products are not allowed to be shipped across the border. It’s weird.
Anyway, thanks for a thorough video. Always very informative.
Winsor blue is phthalo blue. If you have it in a tube, you can look at the packaging to find the pigment code and look up what color name it corresponds to.
Caitlin Baker Thanks. That was very helpful.
I am not sure why Arteza is not selling in Canada yet, It might be the expense of dual language packaging. Catlin is correct on the origin of Winsor Blue. I will mention the request for selling to Canada to Arteza the next time I email them as several people have asked about this:)
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich You’re the best!
Hi, do you know if Arteza watercolors and pens are vegan friendly? I emailed the company but they haven't replied, and I just wondered if you knew. Thanks
the brushes are synthetic. The watercolors are a dye and I don't think ox-gal are added to dye based watercolor markers and the body is plastic. I can't think of any animal product in there and I think they's have a bit of an odor if ox-gall were present. That said the only person who could say 100% would be arteza and the factory making them. There is no animal hain in them tho:)
Can you give me a list of cheap open stock of watercolor preferably pan paint
You pay more with open stock pans than tubes. Most run $5 to $10 per half pan. I'd buy a set and refill with tubes
Ok
Could u give me a list of brands taht have a set
@@brandytaylor1986. Cotman, Van Gogh, Lukas studio, Sonnet, Aquafine and MeiLiang Pretty Excellent are all reasonably affordable and good to use watercolors. With the exception of the MeiLiang they are all available in pan sets, and Cotman, Van gogh and aquafine also come open stock. Lukas studio does not come open stock anymore I believe, but they do sell tube sets which you could use to refill the pans eventually. Sometimes you can still find single pans of Lukas studio, but as far as I know they are old stock that is just being sold of. The MeiLiang paint is also solid, but instead of pans it's all put into the same plastic inlay and that's the only way you can get it. It's really good though and you could refill the set with a different paint. Also, check out Lindsay's playlists, there is one dedicated to watercolor reviews, you'll find plenty of affordable sets there.
Would you if you can and would like,- do a review of current Arteza water color tubes set of 24. ARTEZA Watercolor Paint, Set of 24 Colors/Tubes, 24x12ml/0.4 oz with Storage Box, Non Toxic Paints for The Professional Artist and Hobby Painters-Amazon.
They are a decent standard budget paint. If you want to dry them in a palette you will want to add glycerin or honey to them because they will crack and fall out. Best if used fresh from the tube.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich I see.. misguided by the words professional etc.. was looking for artist grade tubes with the usual popular blues etc.. looked at Daniel Smith.. looking for less pricy artist grade watercolor tubes. thank you! or I will continue to research view your review videos..
Try Turner, Renesans, or blick studio for professional tube paint at a lower cost. You cant trust "artist quality" on many of the tube sets sadly.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich so appreciate the advice ! 🎨👍🏼
Made in the US...?
I don't think any of their products are
Hi, Please say me how many diffrent are arteza like renesans?
Renesans are much nicer than arteza. Renesans are professional and arteza premium are really a student grade.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank You 😀
Ultramarine blue is cool and Phthalo/ Cerulean Blue Hue is warm on my opinion
She kinda sounds like cookie swirl c
I like what you have to say but wish you would not talk so fast ..it makes me feel tense
Joan Porter -she's like a video on fast forward!!!!.Couldn't watch the whole video-became too exhausted listening to her machine gun,fully automatic voice.
i wish i had of thought to look for your review on the tubes! Anyone reading this please dont buy them... i wasted 120nz dollars on this rubbish, dont lift, mixing is yuk and blending is strange. maybe they could be used as gouash as they are all, sorry 59 out of 60 tubes are opaque! i am gutted
That's a bummer. I find the arteza tubes do best when used fresh from the tube. The basic bright colors will give you the best watercolor effects. If you bought them recently you might be able to return them. If not, maybe practice brushstrokes on white butcher paper and make gift wrap with it. Be free with them.
Very helpful review! Thank you!
