I love Mission gold watercolors! They are up there with my favorites. I also really enjoy the fact that you share pigment information as it is really helpful to those of us who have been painting for a while and beginners alike. Great job, and I love your channel!
TheHomegrownArtist thank you so much! I'm glad my content is useful 😁
$94.50!?!? I came across this set in an art shop in Seoul and it was like... $60ish after converting from KRW to USD. I was considering picking it up, but now it looks even more tempting with that discount! haha Thanks for reviewing this. It's given me some things to think about.
Cuddlebloom since it's a Korea company, it's definitely going to be cheaper there than here.
They don't care about multiple pigments in the paint because Asian watercolor is traditionally not mixed by the artist, FYI
yeah if a specific hue is required, artists premix them and use them alone without mixing in pallete. The mixing of colors are close to transition or gradation thant mixed on paper.
Thank you Katherine!! Thank you Denise for this video!
Thank you, Katherine! You have a generous heart!
Wow! This was probably the most thorough review I have seen! Great Job. I esp. love how you compare them to other known brands and the common names of what other companies call them. As a newbie to watercolor, I find this incredibly valuable. Thanks a million!
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful :) happy painting!
I have a single pigment of theirs in my larger set pv23.lovely
I just purchased these watercolor, I'm very excited to swatch then out! Then set up my Stevenson Quiller palette! I enjoyed your comparison, nice swatch chart!
Chinese white is never super opaque since it's the "mixing white". I don't understand it at all XD
Love the super generous and well made chart, thanks Katherine! :)
Eve Bolt - Bolt's Vault I didn't care to really dive in in this video but perhaps it's to create pastels? Which still seems silly to me in watercolor, lol.
@Weedus ? If I remember correctly, zinc white and chinese white are the same, they're both the mixable. Titanium white or permanent white is the Opaque-just-use-gouache-dammit one.
Interesting that they market their Pthalo Green YS under Holbein's name for it ("Bamboo Green"). Wonder if the paints have the same handling properties as Holbein as well (non-active, easy re-wetting, etc.)?
Thanks to you and Katherine, I have been eyeing the pure pigment set so I wwas happy to see this.
I cannot WAIT! Thanks, Denise. I have wanted this set, and I do sell paint on Etsy, so with stimulus funding, I GET to add MG watercolors to my half-pan sales. I get to keep half of the paint formyself. Nickle Azo Yellow is my favorite yellow, but I do not have any that look green at all...green gold? Do you see even a green cast? Oh well, It makes no difference, I want this set! Thanks for reviewing these!
I am a huge fan on mission gold- Thank you Katherine! I own the big set that came the pallette that was in halc circle- I cannot explain it for the life of me for some reason! :) I love the intense colors MG provides - great video as usual!
coldmountainpix thank you :D
Hi, Denise. First of all, I really enjoy watching your videos! Yours is my go to channel for watercolor paint info.
I have a Mission Gold Pure Pigment set (24 + w&b) purchased last year on eBay. It is labeled Pure Pigment Set MWC-1524P. I really like this particular set because it has a very balanced color assortment, unlike the set you reviewed in this video. It contains Dioxazine Violet (PV23). Plus, it contains a very pretty Cobalt Turquoise (PB28) which when mixed with “Cerulean” Blue (PB15:3), turns into this gorgeous Peacock Blue.
Speaking of “Cerulean” Blue, I labeled my color swatch with the word Cerulean in double quotes following your lead. :)
Interestingly, I noticed that Schmincke also calls PB15:3 “Cerulean” Blue - it’s called Helio Cerulean; PB36 is called Cobalt Cerulean; and PB15:1 is called Phthalo Blue. (You turned me into a watercolor pigment geek. LOL!) Anyways, looks like Mijello was not too far off when they named their PB15:3 “Cerulean.”
Thanks for creating videos worth watching!
Thanks so much for all your kind words. Those sound like great additions to the set! Cerulean hues are made with PB15:3 and a white pigment but should definitely be labeled as hues :) This POW of color screams phthalo blue :)
I'm drolling over here. I've found the set on ebay for US87 and I'm soooo tempted. I certainly don't need more paints, but this set has many pigments that I've never seen in person... I love vibrant colours! And I've read somewhere (I think it was Jane Blundell's blog) that they have a very small drying shift, which I love. Impeccable review, as always, Denise! Thank you!
I went back and forth several times when I decided that Mission Gold was the paint I was going to go with when getting back into watercolor painting. I just loved the consistency of the paints I sampled and the lack of fillers and true to life colors. I finally bought the 36 color set with the Mijello palette. I am a little parsimonious, that's a $2 word for cheap. I still do not like spending on paint I may or may not use, but I have since bought more colors in the 15ml sizes. I have since (based on your recommendations and reviews) Bought some DaVinci watercolor paints and I have found them delightful! I almost wish I had discovered your channel before I purchased anything, but I would never have started painting, and at some point you have to get started or you never will get any paint on paper! So thanks for all you do and I am looking forward to more from you in the future!
Thanks for sharing Michael. I'm so glad it's been a helpful resource. I'll be reviewing the updated version of this set soon!
Thank you Katherine!
Denise I love watching your videos from the past. So here I am. Awe Yes, Steve Mitchell's favorite mixing cool yellow is Azo Green, being PY129 a green gold. Steve has his 10 favorites in M Graham that the company produced for him with his name and logo in custom set. It's a beautiful set. Have you seen it? So tempting but I already have those tubes. It's still available. I wonder why PY129 isn't in the Mission Gold set. It's clearly a different hue from PY150 in most brands.
Thank you! I have seen Steve's set. It's a beaut!
That's the nicest dot colour chart I've seen! (thanks, Katherine) Here's my thoughts on the cerulean controversy(!) - I did a bit of research a while back, out of curiosity. Apparently, the word Cerulean is derived from the Latin word(Caeruleus) that means...(sky)blue. And as you can imagine, there can be many different variations. As far as I know, the term 'cerulean blue' wasn't in use until the mid 19th century, so it's a bit difficult to dispute which cerulean is right and wrong - even counting the ones made from PB35, because the pigment itself is 'named' as cerulean, not made to be cerulean. I've seen a few brands selling a cerulean that is not of PB35, some in Europe(though mostly specified as 'hue'). Holbein does a Manganese blue that is of PB15 rather than PB33 - and in my opinion, cerulean and manganese are very much interchangable in watercolours. I think the inclusion of the phthalo blue was good nonetheless...and a perylene maroon! I must add that I also love the unique burnt sienna from them, too, haha! I love its vibrancy on its own and great shades of deep, muted sea/forest green it makes with blues. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for doing the review - it's nice to have a closer look in some tools that are unfortunately too pricey for me. (this set is sold for around 150 euro here, crazy!)
Amé Binnarä Thank you for all the information :) I like the burnt sienna well enough as a color, I just have a huge issue with them calling it burnt sienna. Burnt sienna is widely regarded as a color that mixes with Ultramarine to create a grey which this does not do. I'll give it a try to make some greens though, maybe with phthalo or Prussian :) I'm glad the review overall was helpful!
Your reviews are always helpful - especially the colour swatch comparisons! I got to learn how to make them from you. :) And you're right, I am curious about the reason behind its name, too. Personally, I have an issue with PR101 burnt siennas...they're okay, but...they aren't really close to PBr7 hue wise, and not too special to stand out in the sea of burnt siennas. Well, technically speaking, neither(Mijello's mixture and PR101) should be named a burnt sienna, because they've no earth in them :p
Amé Binnarä K I agree! :)
Thank-you Katherine. And Denise too.
suzanne chalk thanks for watching Suzanne!
I'm late to the video here, but if you're looking to replace single tubes, try buying them from Korean sites (like Gmarket, Korea's amazon/ebay) On Gmarket PV19 15ml is 6.31 USD. All mission gold 15ml paints run about 2.50-7.50 USD depending on A-E series.
hahahaha! Thanks, Katherine!
That'll be a day... hahah.
Thank you, Catherine
Hi! Can we squeeze these in pans and allow them to dry down and re-wet as needed?
are those trading cards protector sleeves?
I also have a sepia.i wonder why my set is so different.
My favorite color from mission gold is bamboo green.....so lovely.
That's just good ol' phthalo green (yellow shade)! :)
Your Welcome! FYI.. the Frugal Crafter did the math .. it was over $500 to buy the paints indiv. the 5 E-series paints alone would cost $150
I also have a burnt sienna
Was wondering I found two different sets for mission gold pure pigments but one had a gold box and then your link with the blue box, although the tubes and everything looks the same? But the gold
Box one is slightly less in price. Could these be the same with new packaging?
Having just come from Oto Kano's video on "this" set, I'm amused at the differences in included colors. The one she had had the Diaxozine Violet, as well as a Cobalt Green. Good to know they have different versions of their single pigment sets, I guess
Asia, US, and EU all have different sets. Set A, set B, and set c respectably.
Like a Komodo Dragon? The way they walk makes me laugh. Lol
Thanks for the review, I catch myself giggling when you talk about whether or not you would use various colors. It is nice to see a pure pigment set. I've set aside my original set from them because of fading in the color chart I made.But it's nice to see a company evolve. And like you said, the price makes them a good value.
Essie Tangle oh interesting. I have not noticed fading. How soon after and what were the conditions?

It's a mission 24 color set. I didn't put a date on them but it's been over a year or so. Now my swatches are not as professional as yours but it did them on watercolor paper. It was mainly the browns and a red. Probably what I need to do is reswatch them along the lines of what you do. My sample was just in the drawer with the paint not sealed in a plastic and binder either but out of the sun. The more I type I think I'm answering this query for myself. When I feel better I'll redo them and we'll see what happens. Thanks for listening.
Hmm, they shouldn't fade if they're not in the sun. I'll have to do some testing!
It was probably operator error and I think I should reswatch.
Your channel is my first real resource for pigment information. I've been thinking about getting myself some quality artist paints since watercolor is my medium of choice and I was looking at the mission gold sets since they are affordable and the colors are so vibrant! But after researching them a bit I'm not sure if it's worth it if I'm going to have trouble mixing their blends.
I'm glad the channel has been helpful :) Are you in the US? I'd recommend MGraham as the most affordable, high quality option. I have a review early on for them but let me know if I can help otherwise!
I am! I'll definitely look into MGraham. They seem to be a common favorite.
I've been using Sakura Koi pan watercolors for years and they never did me wrong, but they aren't as vibrant as I would always like. I bought a few of Dr. Ph. Martin's watercolor inks to combat that, but I had trouble with those separating on the page and ruining some of my paintings.
Thanks for the help and the reply! I really appreciate it! :)
I have a single pigment dioxazine in my pure pigment set
Thanks for the review. I'd like to know whether the Mijello Permanent Red and Scarlet Lake (PR 112) look like the M. Graham Naphtol Red (PR 112)? Do you think that the Mijello's versions of PR 112 are as lightfast as the M Graham's?
The comparisons visually are in this video, so I'm not sure what else I can tell you. Scarlet Lake is very different from the other two. I can't speak to lightfastness other than what the companies have provided.
Thank you so much for this video! (Btw it's me again the french girl who wanted american paints lol) I appreciate that you also talked about "is it worth it if I don't use all the colors?" because that's what I was worry about ^^'Fortunately I don't think I paint enough to ever finish a 15ml tube so it's not a big deal for me that the individual tubes are so expensive... I might end up going with this set then, even though I'll never use so much reds! Thank you again ;)
I'm glad it was helpful Neru! :)
I wonder how you'd feel about the color selection in the 34 color pure pigment set vs this one. There's actually less overlap between those two sets that I would've thought, in fact it seems like the 34 color set (from Korea) has colors that are unlisted in their English language site. It also has a cobalt black (PBk 27) which I had never heard of before, and doesn't exist on handprint.
I have the new pure pigment set and will do a review as soon as I can.
@@InLiquidColor Whoah! I look forward to it!
I don't have this set but I have the 36 + a couple of pure pigment tubes to go along with it [pyrol orange, nickle azo yellow, ...]. I love Mission Gold vibrancy, same as you I don't like that some color from that set is mix *cough burnt sienna*. As far as violet I remember they have a PV29 and there is another blue PB60 from their full selection. - about 30$ a tube , I guess I'm lucky they are cheaper here - I got PR176 - Rose Madder e 15ml for 14$ equivalent in my currency.
This set taught me that I rather collect tubes and pans one by one and get color I like but >< its expensive in that way.
Do you know what they call their PV23? I looked and couldn't find it on their chart.
its PV29 - Violet lake. I checked from my store Mijello chart. :)
Ahh! My mistake. It's perylene violet rather than dioxazine violet. I didn't know why they made the color that looks just like dioxazine violet out of three pigments ;) Also, violet lake isn't on this chart www.in2art.com/mijello%20brochure%202013.pdf which also add to my confusion hehe.
wow that's a lot of reds in a set... I can't imagine having 9 in my palette! 😬
Jennifer Shepit I know, right?? I guess people could say the same about me and my browns/earth tones though hahah
haha well I'm that way with earth tones too!
i just like the reds bc they look pretty XD
How do you setup your swatch binder?
I have a video on my swatch cards. You can find it in the cards for this video or in my tutorial playlist.
How do you add new swatch cards to your swatch binder??? Wouldn't you have to move every single card over!
Yep.
Great video Denise! 😁
Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire thanks Valerie! It was a bit rough getting back into things. Tool WAAAAY too long to edit. Hopefully the next one will be smoother ;)
In Liquid Color I know the feeling! It took me 5 weeks to upload my last video. I felt out of practice...lol 😉 Your video was a great reminder that you really should always list the pigment number with your swatches. I forgot that there were a few color numbers that are off on the name... cerulean blue= pthalo blue. I have the 36 gold set & I need to go back & list the numbers now. 😲
Valarie Connell /DrawingWithFire as a friend of mine would say, must be Mercury in retrograde, or something like that. It shall pass soon haha. I do definitely recommend the pigment numbers. I know a lot of people don't like to bother with it and that's fine, but at very least it can save you money so that you don't double up on paints you already have. But I also enjoy being able to recognize many colors more easily just by looking at them these days :)
In Liquid Color lol! Yes, mercury retrograde. 🤣 I made a second swatch chart...I also have my big binder too. I took a 9x12 yellow Strathmore wc pad that still had 5-6 sheets still bound and charted each page based on family colors. I then listed my 5 main brands along the short side (there are a couple of empty rows to add later with other brands) and did 14/15 columns across with the color names of what i have. So all of my blues are on one page and I can just pick a color I like and easier to compare to the other ones...kind similar to your big swatches without the details. Its just a quick chart to pick colors from and to see how many of the same name, so no buying doubles within a specific brand. I do think I'm going back to these swatches and put asterisks on the multiple pigment colors to remind myself to check the pigments & mixing with other colors before adding to a piece. 😃Hubby says I'm way to organized...lmbo!😂 He said he just picks an acrylic color by closing his eyes & grabbing a bottle...he can be so silly. We have 2 separate art studios to spread out in & because we work in 2 different ways. We shared for years 1 studio & it was great, but I love having my own space to do whatever in & so does he. 😆
Yay! That's awesome!
I bought mijjelo gold pure pigment set (24 colours 15ml. tube + 2 colours black/white(each 7ml.) at 52,000 won.(equiv. to USD 49.- or GBP 35.-) while I tavel to seoul, Korea,it is amazig price and amazing colours.
What a steal!
I recently bought a set which was sent from Korea. Beautiful but does some changes to which colours are supplied. Fewer reds. I can list the differences if anyone is interested. Its maybe a bit more balanced but missing one or two colours I would have liked such as Prussian Blue. I guess this is the Asian set.
Wow, the Permanent Rose Color you rant about retails in Germany for about 11€ that's cheaper than most Daniel Smith colors in the 5ml tubes here :) the cheaper colors are about 5€ and for 15 ml super affordable.
Ah if only! I did hear that Jacksons started carrying them, which we can order from the US too. I'm on a paint buying ban but keeping that in mind for next year ;)
Make great mixed without muddyness
30$?! Even 18$ on DickBlick seems way out of scale. In my country, the Philippines, the E series only retails for 625PHP - equivalent to 11.55USD! Looks like it's more expensive in your side of the globe...
Stephanie May hi, do u know where to buy Mijello Mission Gold here in the Philippines? How much would it cost here, do u think?
i watch your video...and then....i always have to buy tubes of paint.... :/
Oh no!
