I'm a HUGE!!!fan of Daniel Smith & Holbein watercolours and I was contemplating on adding Mission Gold to my palette. So this video gives me an idea of what to expect if I do.
I found the perfect indigo pigment, I started my art career as a experimental textile artist so I spent a lot of time dying fabric with Japanese indigo so the brand for indigo paint is by sennlier it's closest to true indigo so if you get a chance try a tube 😊
My sennelier indigo from a tube dries into a hard lump and is very difficult to rewet. Do you have the same problem? I'm not sure if I just got a defective tube or something but it's very disappointing.
Asynchrony spray it and leave it for 5 minutes before using. It may be difficult to rewet due to the pigment used.
@@bodyisround Is it the old version of Sennelier? Because the New French version is made with honey and shouldn't dry hard at all.
Lemon yellow is hansa yellow Lt.
Perm. Yellow Lt. is Benzimadazolone Yellow
Perm. Yellow Dp. Is Hansa Yellow Dp.
burnt sienna is like quin burnt orange
red orange is Pyrrol orange
Perm. red is napthol red
permanent red dp. is Pyrrol red
Permanent rose is quin. Rose
perm. magenta is Quin magenta
Dioxazine Violet is Dioxazine Purple/Violet
Ultra. Violet No.2 is Ultra. Violet
Indanthrone Blue or Mijello Blue is like Delft Blue due to the appearances
Ultramarine Deep is maybe like French Ultramarine Blue Hue
Ultramarine Light is Ultramarine Blue
Cobalt Blue No.2 is Cobalt Blue
Phthalocyanine Blue is Phthalocyanine Blue (RS)
Cerulean Blue is Phthalocyanine Blue (GS)
Viridian is Phthalocyanine Green (BS)
Bamboo Green is Phthalocyanine Green (YS)
Sap Green is just, sap green
How do I know this, check out this channel called Soul Keever, it’s hilarious and it taught me with the naming issues Mijello has, also, I checked on their website and saw the pigment numbers
Thank you! So helpful to a newbie like me. I want to know what will give me issues with mixing as I own the large Mission Gold set. 💕
Nice comparisons. Someday I'll have to try the mijello blue - looks really beautiful. And mixed with burnt umber it's gorgeous.
Like these comparison videos - very informative. Looking forward to your new palette set-up too. Thanks!
Thank you as always Evangeline! :) I'm so glad they're helpful.
I think half of the views on this video are from me alone. Lol
this was an amazing review! thanks a bunch.
Linda Valday thank you :) I'm glad it was helpful.
I only have one tube of Mission Gold but they perform very well.
Learned so much! Thank you!
Tiffany Grey im glad it was helpful!
I love the colors in the Mijello range, but not the way the paint behaves (or at least, not enough to justify buying them). It's really interesting you see your swatches comparison (what the heck happened with that "burnt sienna" lol). Thanks a lot for this review :)
I saw Mandy's after I filmed mine, and it's so neat to see what other people notice. I use them all the time and I've never given a second thought to how the color spreads (or doesn't spread). I just add more water and use my brush. I guess that's why there are so many brands! :)
Yes! That's when all our specific and unique ways to use the paint come out and influence how we rate a product. We all have our love of color and paint in common, so it makes for really fun discussions :D
I don’t know if you’ve tried their Payne’s gray but I was surprised by how blue it is in comparison to others I’ve used! Loved the video!
Thank you for a good video. Help me a lot!
Great video 👍 thanks
Excellent, thank you. I am a huge Daniel Smith fan, living right near the factory. So far haven't seen a review of a different line that would lead me to purchase anything else. I tend to use the primatek line.
Ooo, I'm so jealous! I'd love to tour the facility or something... I don't know if they do that, but I'd have a ball! I have two videos for Daniel Smith planned for hopefully early in the new year: the huge dot chart as well as my personal favorites. Daniel Smith are my ultimately favorite, but Mission Gold is my first second choice and fills in the gaps nicely :) Happy New Year!
Nice review!, I'm surprised and kind of not surprised that we have identical reasons why we love and dislike and actual colors too.
Thanks Erin! It's nice to have something in common :D
I have the LG single pigment set and the colors are spot on.burnt Siena is true etc
I thought I had the same set as yours until I saw a py154... I am suffering from the cauliflower effect that mission gold always creates.
And I see you have that in your last swatches. I am wondering why. is it due to my skills or the paper or the paints themselves
How do these paints perform over time. Do they mix okay? I’ve heard that there are a lot of unusual pigments in this line. Also, is the pure pigment set a better value than the 36 set with palette? I’m considering buying but not sure which one to go with. As long as it doesn’t mix mud, or behave really odd, I don’t mind lightfast issues.
Schmincke , Van Gogh used it and Said they are the best , They have nice Yellow py 145 called Reingelb or pure Yellow , I like
Am I the only one having problems with these paint hardening once I put them in a pan they also kind of smell.
do you have mijello's indigo?? i really dislike it on its own because it looks nothing like the swatches on the packaging to me
Hi there! I don't have their regular indigo. Based on other indigos, however, I'm guessing it's pretty dark, like the older version on mijello blue is. The new mijello blue is different my favorite over all other indigos that I've tried.
Thank you so much for your videos! Your thoroughness and presentation are both top notch, and your work is absolutely ridiculous fantastic! I hope you have a wonderful year in 2017 (good riddance, 2016!).
On the subject of comparing the character of different paint brands, I'm curious if you have any thoughts about why sometimes two paints made from the same pigment will have an actual difference in color, like with the lemon yellow you showed us. I am mystified by this, and don't quite know enough about pigment characteristics to have any guesses about why.
Cheers!
*ridiculousLY fantastic, thanks autocorrect!
Thank you for your kind words Stella! I am fascinated by the pigment compositions as well. From my understanding, there are a few factors. Some pigments are very consistent (ie ultramarine) while others are naturally inconsistent and secondly, the treatment of those pigments by each company can impact the way they look as well (ie binders, additives, etc.)
If you take a look at this page and scroll down to "Source" it tells you a bit about why some natural colors like ochre, siennas, and umbers vary so much: www.naturalpigments.com/yellow-ocher-jcl.html
In general, I do believe that using pigment numbers will get you closer to the actual color you're looking for than a common name. The reds get particularly wonky with naming across different brands... haha.
great review! i would love to see your opinion of the sennelier artist grade paints
Hi Karia! I haven't had a chance to use the Sennelier paints yet :( I have a little three color sample pack but have been waiting to open them for when I can record a review. I'm not sure how in depth it will be since I only have three colors but I promise to let you know as soon as I have tried them out!
I replyed to your email. let me know what you think :)
The pure pigment set raw umber looks a lot cooler. I have the pure pigments and they are my go to paints.....but I also like vivid opaque colors.
How are they with rewetting ?
Amy Palmer I believe there's no difficulty with rewetting them. ☺
So would you recommend the pure pigment set for rank beginners, then? Thank you!
Rori Rants if you're interested in mixing then yes but if you'd prefer painting from a tube, one of their other sets would be fine too. It is a lot of paint and a bit of an investment but if you want to dive it, it's a great bargain.
I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out single pigments (and brands) that I want to work with! And while I realize how valuable learning to mix properly is, the reality is that I couldn't care less about messing around with mixing. I really just want to try watercolors out, do a few sketches/paintings with them, and then decide if I want to stick with it. Even a limited palette of single pigments paints from name brands is SPENDY! I think I'm liking the 36 set better for what I'm looking for. Your video was super helpful in comparing with other brands and seeing the differences in colors that are single pigments/hues/etc. Thank you!
Rori Rants ah yes. Single pigments aren't inherently better than multiple pigments. They're just harder to mix and require a more knowledgeable user to mix cleanly as the more pigments there are he more likely they are to get muddy. The only think I like to make sure people know is that mission golds earth pigments are a bit off and the burnt sienna is a disaster to mix (though pretty on its own). Also if you do end up liking them and want to try others, be aware that their common names are wonky. Happy painting.
Thank you so much :) I appreciate your help!
You should perm, yellow Lt instead of lemon yellow
omg... I just love love love your videos, by far the best I have watched! Honest and informative, while still giving much respect to the products, so thank you !!! Tutorials PLEASE or even some paint alongs would be so much appreciated.
moonchild888 thanks so much and welcome! I am slowly working on more paint alongs for the channel but in the meantime full real time tutorials are available on my Patreon as perks f you're interested :)
That would be great!!! I am just beginning to get my fingers into watercolors... its a weird medium for me.... I think its the control thing that I am not used to yet... lol... (I will not get into the first painting I did... LOL.) Again, thank you for your awesomeness !!
Thank you for your kind words! I hope my channel helps in starting your watercolor adventures :D
are these pure pigment ?
No
They are very vibrant and quite transparent ...
R they student grade
I currently have a set of student grade watercolours by daler rowney and I want to purchase some artist quality now. I can't decide between buying the single pigment set from mijello (so around 100$ for 24x15ml) or buying 10 colors that I would choose myself from m graham (so around 100$ for 10x15ml). If we only look at the ratio price/quantity it's obvious but I'm actually afraid to buy colors that I won't use, maybe starting smaller is better... And I don't know which ones are the best! So, what would you recommand to me? ^^
Hi Neru! I haven't used the pure pigment set yet BUT a viewer sent me samples of the entire set so I am going to be getting to that really soon to have a first impressions here on the channel. I do know there are a LOT of reds in that set, so it depending how much you would use those ones. Personally, I would pick out my own 10 favorite colors that you know you'll use. I do have two different videos talking about limited palettes. One is my Top 12 colors and the other is my Daniel Smith video. Even though they're Daniel Smith, you could use them for inspiration for your own palette with MGraham if they're helpful! I do LOVE MGraham's Prussian Blue :)
Thank you for your answer! I unfortunately realized how hard it is to get m graham in france... I mean even with amazon, the shipping fees are very important so I'll think about it if I don't find a solution. (anyway I'm still saving money for it so I have the time to decide).
neru chan aw yes I'm sorry to hear! They're a much smaller company. I hope they can travel over seas more easily someday. I would imagine Sennelier would be close to what you're looking for - vibrant and they use honey - and they're widely available in Europe, or so I hear :)
Indeed, the brands I can easily find here are Sennelier, Rembrandt, Schmincke, Winsor and Newton, Daler Rowney, Lukas... Thank you so much for your kind answers! The problem when you watch only english (american actually) videos is that you want to use the same products lol
I'll try to learn more about sennelier watercolors (starting with your review!)
I wish I had more access to your paints as well! Sennelier and Schmincke are very expensive here. I mistakenly though I could get Rembrandt here a little bit more easily and passed on them when I was traveling in Budapest! I'm kicking myself now. I do have European brands on my Wish List and will definitely review them if I get the chance to work with them!
As far as my Sennelier review goes, I don't feel like it's fully comprehensive. I did not like the colors in that mini set and again would love to use more of my favorite colors in there line to make a better review :) From what I understand, they're a lovely company, I just don't understand that selection of colors haha.
So ... I am new to watercolors and have learned a great deal from your videos. I recently purchased the 24 color Mission Gold set. However, my palette only holds 20 colors. I plan to trade out yellow ochre and burnt sienna for Holbein paints. Trying to decide which four to omit. White and ivory black are 2 I plan to leave out. Any thoughts on 2 more to leave off the palette?
Oh wow this was a year ago. Sorry you didn't get your answer. I would probably leave out a secondary color like orange or purple as they are easy to mix and aren't used much straight from tube/pan
Nice to know there's another PY154 Groupie :-D. Love it mixed with permanent rose, too.
Where's the little emoticon with hearts for eyes on here? Haha.
InLiquidColor - Great video! I might save up to buy the Single Pigment Set. You probably already know, but PY154 is Winsor Yellow in the Winsor & Newton line. i love it, along with their newer version of Transparent Yellow which is PY150.
Jennifer Alvarez I use it under the name DaVinci yellow :-)
Yay! I'm glad there are other options. I just recently heard that WN had a version as well (right after I ordered a big refill of the Mission Gold!) although I haven't tried it yet. I guess I'm still a bit salty that out of 238 colors, Daniel Smith doesn't have it ;) I will make sure the next time I'm in need I try out the WN or DaVinci since I know those will be less expensive.
Rebecca Page - Oh, that's good to know! Do you enjoy the DaVinci paints? I was thinking about getting a few tubes to try.
I don't know if my phone is glitching but your cover picture says Colors of nature vegan watercolors!
I think it must be a glitch!
Same on my side for this video...! 🤔
I reuploaded - hope it fixes the issue!
I just ordered this and it's all your fault, lol. I like the idea (I think) of paint staying where you put it.
I like some of the bright colours for florals. I just ordered a few more. but .... are they really the best for everything, just because the one or other colour looks great and bright on a swatch card side by side? I mean - e.g. one does need that ugly lemon yellow for so many things. and what then is a yellow good for, that looks just like a very very warm shadow of a painted lemon - a very artistic ones? that's the issue with a lot of these reviews and swatches. I like, to see them to have an idea, what I would get. but the conclusions that are drawn often....I don't know, what to do with them. if they are of any relevance. reminds me a bit on the issue, that make up swatches have - I don't watch those anymore.
Why are the Mission Gold sold on Amazon so much lower priced than online art stores? Are they fakes? ?There is a price diff. of over $50.
I just received the 24 pure pigment set and they were perfect. I'm not an expert but I think they are great so far. A dab will do. They are intense.
Toll
Not sure if this is just a bug for me, but the lil banner on the thumbnail says 'colors of nature vegan watercolour.' Awesome video btw!
