Shinhan Professional Watercolor 24 Tube Set Review + Paper & Brushes. Quality Student Grade Paints?
Vložit
- čas přidán 12. 09. 2024
- Today I will be reviewing this set of Shinhan Professional Watercolour paints in a 24 tube set. They also came with some watercolour paper and brushes, as a bundle. I swatched all of the colours and did some paintings, both on cellulose and cotton watercolour paper. Shinhan is a company that is based in Korea.
Note that while these say Professional, they are NOT the top of the line artist grade paints. Shinhan SWC or PWC watercolors are the highest grade, and are Premium, not Professional.
Professional are the more student grade paints, and these are the ones I have today. I plan on finding the Premium ones to review at a later time.
I got my bundle in a local Melbourne store, Zetta Florence, but I also found the paint tubes on Amazon (affiliate links included).

Becky your doing a fantastic job at filming these amazing video's while looking after your father so thank you for that, and I hope he's getting better each day, I love doing silhouette paintings when I can't think of anything to draw or I want something quick and easy to do I have tons of them hahaha and that's my fave out of all of your artworks, they are so beautiful and simple, recently done a windmill one with a little fence, a lovely sunset background, they are such a pleasure to paint! I really enjoyed this video and the Shinhan paints are stunningly bright! :D
Thank you! I am glad I ended up enjoying the paints, considering I got the grades mixed up. ("Professional" indeed!). Windmill silhouettes always look really awesome, and they're such fun paintings to do. ❤
@@BeckyTregear the names are highly confusing for sure
Sunshinearts does great silhouette/sketchbook-friendly paintings, she was one of the first I found a couple years ago-ish

I actually have a set of the PWC artist-grade ones in my shopping cart! I tried the pro set of 30 back when it was $25, now it is double!
I have a feeling the premium ones will be really nice! Everything has shot up in price lately, and I've noticed art supplies are getting considerably more costly. 😭
@@BeckyTregear well, after reading your comment I snagged the 32 15ml tube set for $82 on amazon. I saw the 24 set fir $65 on eBay as well so you might try there. Maybe buying it from America will be cheaper. I tried a tube (it was the only color they had as they were clearencing them) from Jerry's and it was really nice quality.
Bummer that you didn't get the paints you actually wanted, but still always fun to try new paints! Love that you showed the difference between the cotton and cellulose paper. I had a few students show up yesterday in my Intermediate class with really bad-quality cellulose paper and they did struggle with their artwork. They are buying cotton paper before next week... 😁
It makes such a huge difference, and I think a lot of people give up with watercolours because shoddy paper just makes the whole exercise a misery. Hopefully your students will notice a big difference next week!
Your experience, with the paint on the cellulose paper, made me feel better about the painting I just did with my PWC paints.. I thought it was me, but I see it isn't. Now I don't feel so bad lol.
Yay! 😁 The paper is very limiting, for sure.
Becky, thank you! Your usual high standard of video, a clear commentary and conclusion, and all this while coping with being away from your studio and caring for your father as well as the family pets! Thanks!
Thank you, I am happy I was able to produce something, though it took longer because I had to figure out how to take some of the echo out. Thank goodness for CZcams, haha! 😂
I learned some things from you today. It's super easy to understand you explaining painting details. Thanks so much!
Oh great, I'm glad it helped! Sometimes I feel like I am rambling on, lol.
Beautiful paintings. I really like the last one. It made me curious about the Premium watercolour paints. See you later and have a great day.
Thank you, I hope I can find some premium ones soon!
Thanks for your knowledgeable review. Hope your Dad's healing is going well 💙
He's doing a lot better this week, thank you! 🙂
I quite like the "Streakyness" of your fish painting, it kinda makes it look like ripples in the water. I too bought this WC set years ago when first starting my watercolor journey thinking that it was professional as they claimed just to find out as you did. I'm sure we are not the only ones fooled by this marketing. If you are interested in the original quin gold pigment I bought a pan from The Prodigal Son's Artists Pigments along with some other very rare pigment paints that you can no longer find on the market. Search for them on You Tube and you will find a number of videos on them. I love your videos! I hope that your dad's recovery is quick and as pain free as possible. Thank you for being a great daughter!! ❤️ Pat
Thank you very much! I am sure others have been sucked in too...."Professional" indeed! I''ll check out the site, thanks for the recommendation. ❤
Another great fun and informative video! Disappointing that the paper included was so unsuitable. Great to see the comparison on different papers. Love the wine and grapes! 😊🌸
Thank you! I am glad the paints were good, and that I remembered to bring my good paper sketchbook! 😂
good paper is everything with watercolours!
It really is! 💜
I hope your father recovers fast. Love watching your videos
Thank you! 😊❤️
Hi Becky, this is the first time I watch a youtuber using arto watercolour paper.
If I'm not mistaken is a Malaysian brand. I used it too but the 300 gsm cotton paper and I liked it as a beginner in watercolour. I think it's quite affordable and easy to work with.
Cotton is pretty much always so much better, and I really wish this was the cotton version, lol.
I don’t know why I must watch ALLLL the swatching videos on CZcams.... it’s an obsession 😂😂😂
Haha! Not a bad obsession to have. 🤭
Wow what a stunning color the bordaeux is. Love your wine and glass the best out of the three you are so right the paper is really important. The paints look a little too opaque and not as intense as I would like..with exception of bordaeux. Shadow green might be worth a go as well. Thank you Becky love your work.
The bordeaux is definitely the pick of the bunch in this set; what a gorgeous colour it is! I'm champing to try the PWC range now, lol.
Hello Becky, regardless of paper you do good work. But, I can see the difference between the cellulose and the cotton papers. I love your paintings.
I do hope your father continues to heal well and has many more years of life. My ex-husband's grandma broke her hip in her early seventies and then lived another twenty years after hip replacement surgery. There was no stopping her.
Thank you! Dad is doing well and getting more mobile every day. He now has both hips fixed so I am hoping it will really make a difference with his ability to walk around easily!
funny you should mention the cellulose paper. i accidentally got a pad from Windsor and Newton that was 90% cellulose and 10% cotton and am in love with the stuff. could just be my painting style though. i saw alot of these paints on ebay last year and wondered about them. good to know about the two grades, maybe i will get them next time.
It's definitely a matter of preference and some cellulose is ok to work with. Just maybe not the pad that came in this set, lol! I'd still like to try their highest grade paints too. 😊
Look up Nordmann Green by Isaro - wonder if the mix you used for the bottle would be comparable to that paint
I'll check it out! 🙂
That’s on my wishlist!
@@JessicaCEP it’s beautiful
Yup, these are the semi-professional grade. They have a range that is marked PWC and it is the professional level. They are still quite affordable though! A have a few colours of each myself 🌞
I've put the PWC set on my wishlist, still undecided which set to get; 24 or 32.
Wow that Bordeaux color is awesome, however, I'd be very skeptical of the idea that it is lightfast? Cool reds are never that lightfast.... in watercolor. I know PV3 and rhodomine are not lightfast right off the top of my head, because I had a paint from long ago that had them. Especially with all those unusual pigments, I would test them before using them for display work! Gorgeous for sketchbook though!
I wouldn't consider it to be lightfast without doing my own test of hanging it in the sun for a few months. Bordeaux colours usually fade pretty quickly, as you say. It's super pretty though! 💜
I would love to see a comparison video.
I too bought a set thinking it was their pro line
That will definitely be a future video, once I procure a set of premium ones! 😂
It’s interesting to see the difference between more student and artist quality paints! It’s confusing to me because some brands just have student and professional grade, with the student being not so good while other student quality actually are artist grade? Ahhhh! Cellulose paper is rough.I already struggled enough with watercolor when I first started getting into it and cotton paper made things much easier😂 my favorite painting of the bunch was the fish btw🐠 so summery (not your current season, I know, but still😄)
It is so annoying when something is labelled professional when it actually isn"t. Lies, I say! Cellulose paper is such a drag, especially after using cotton, lol. I was thinking summery thoughts with the fishies. 😁
@@BeckyTregear even 50% cotton can be rough! I’m home and almost caught up on videos now👀 still have to get to Miranda’s as well! So much fun stuff
I watched this video because I am about to buy the set of 30 (it's really a bargain, less than 40 euros) and I noticed they have changed some of the names. Not the van dyke brown or the bordeaux, but some. Nice work! Also I have been your sub before, but my channel got stolen... 😬
Oh that's interesting that some of the names have been changed; I haven't seen the updated ones. Sorry your channel was stolen, that's horrible! Is there anything you can do about it?
@@BeckyTregear Thank you for asking, but no, I will probably open a new one again, since I am soon moving countries, I have already made a list of people I follow at the moment and the ones I remember from earlier. Now you are also on the list for the upcoming channel
I’ve had these for awhile and they are definitely a step above Cotman. They are closer to the Mijelo Mission Silver which is their student grade.
Good to know; I haven't tried any Mijelo paints yet.
I first heard of these watercolours because I had to look up what NOMA uses , she probably uses the professional line though. You know whats its like, you see someone with stunning talent and you think if you get what they have maybe you will paint just the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 She is Korean though so its probably what is most handy. I never did get round to buying them as I have more than enough.
I am so curious to try the premium ones now! 💜
PBr25 is actually used by other brands. I can’t remember who, though. The swatches I saw were intense, not weak as with the Shinhan Professional.
Love how you are able to create pretty paintings even on terrible paper. I would like to see the difference to their professional paint. I got some of their PASS paints (hybrid between watercolour and gouache). I saw them somewhere on CZcams and got inspired. Well, I never use them. I use watercolours or gouache but never these paints. But the funny thing is that I have the same problem with the prussian blue. It didn't dry in the pan and has a sticky consistancy and looks shiny. I hate it.
That's interesting that the "Prussian Blue" behaves the same way with other products; I wonder why! I think I saw some of the hybrid ones in my browsing. I am not sure which set I'm going to end up with next, lol.
Such a fantastic video, super fun! If you are interested in the premium range Dr Oto Kano swatches and reviews the entire range on her channel. Also unfortunately all the pigments in this video that you hadnt heard of before (except the PBr25) are poor to fugitive in lightfastness- shinhan is actually known for using nonlightfast pigments even in the PWC line...but with that said the paints are still beautiful and fun to use in sketchbooks; especially some of those fugitive reds. PR48s and PR63s are some of my fav fugitive reds- so pretty. Anyway great video! So much fun. Thanks for sharing and much love💜
Thank you, I will check out her videos. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of the pigments aren't lightfast; this is no doubt a reason why they aren't common in art supplies!
Id say you can use your cellulose pad for sketching or try charcoal on them? Enjoyed video and your painting..again sending you and your dad .art blessing of healing could you possible show a tidbit of your dads art pieces if hed agree...since im a older art student who started this type of work im always interested in see ithers whove started their craft later in life...plus it gives me hope that theres others that have choosen to go after their passion after other careers .....mikelle art mom🎨✍👩🎨
Thank you, I'm gong to show some of my dad's art in my next video which is due out this weekend. 😊
Too bought by accident.id like to add try have made some good mixes as well.
I have Rosa Gallery's PBr25. Kim Crick reviewed it. I am bad. If Kim likes it, I buy it. I have a tube of Shinhan PWC Shadow Green-PBk 31. Fantastic-beautiful shade outstanding granulating. Waiting on a Jackson's watercolor sale for 5 more highly granulating colors. They have a plain Umber which has amazing granulation. Of course my newest favorite paint is your Daniel Smith's "ugly" color-Greenish Raw Umber-I love it. So take any ideas I have accordingly. Palette is just what I'm looking for it-wish Amazon had it.
I am definitely going to get some PWC tubes so I can compare them! I love granulating colours. I don't even know what that palette is called; it is a no-name brand (at least in English).
Noo! Just nipped into Jackson's to look for the Bordeaux colour in PWC. It's not listed. It seems to be a fairly rare pigment in watercolours. The only PR63:1 paints I could find in a 15 minute search were Renesans Extra Fine - Mineral Violet, Arrtx Gouache - Deep Red, Rosa Studio (Student paint, in a mixed pigment colour) - Madder.
There is usually a link between pigments made for industry and for art, because they're made by the same manufacturers. That's how new pigments appear sometimes, and others - like real Quinachridone Gold - fade away (I think Quin Gold went because it wasn't worth the manufacturer's time and expense to make it just for artists, and industrial demand had disappeared.
It's definitely a rare pigment for art supplies then! So gorgeous as well, and a bummer it isn't in the PWC range! Ah, the sad demise of Quinacridone Gold....surely it could be made again for artists! 😭
Maybe try looking for „SWC” line.
I suspect that here in korea the line has a bit different branding.
Just yesterday i have bought indigo and bright/light rose of SWC line to try out.
Nobody wanted gold cars anymore,..
@@JessicaCEP I would definitely drive a Quinacridone Gold car! 😂
@@BeckyTregear I think I’d paint mine gold if we could get quin gold paint again..I have a full pan of genuine and several tubes of other brands quin gold hues..I still like them, it there is something special about the genuine version…
Could we see your whole art supply collection?
I did do a studio tour last year (in two parts), and a watercolour collection in 2020, but it has kind of grown since then, lol! I will have to do an updated one soon.
May I ask, if you used you phone to record this, did you use an app or just the phone video it’s self? I’m trying to find out how to make videos on your phone. ☺️
I used my phone because it is easier to mount it facing down onto the desk. I record my general video just out of the regular camera app, and for the time lapse art I use an app called Framelapse, because it lets me lock the light exposure and focus point. Then I transfer all my files to my PC or laptop and edit them in a program called Davinci Resolve. Much easier to edit out of phone, in my opinion! Oh, and I also have a separate phone for making my videos. 🙂
PBr25 is actually used by other brands. I can’t remember who, though.
I'll be looking out for it!
@@BeckyTregear Hi Becky! Just type PBr25 in Jackson’s, you should get a couple of results or so.
Mijello Red Brown is PBr25
@@starr-starr Thanks!
💜💜💜tfs💜💜💜 can I ask what your fav rollerball pen is please? I love my pilot Multiball but they're impossible to find :(
I use Uniball Eye, usually 0.5mm
@@BeckyTregear thank you so much. I’ll see if I can hunt that one down.
This arto company has some cheap 100% cotton pads 300 GSM. Maybe you could try that and review it?
I'll see if I can find it, thanks.
i still dont understand how we can have a big paper mill industry, and a big art industry, but any cotton paper needs to be imported. i bought art spectrum 100% cotton a5 pad, and it's actually a european paper, the european branding is underneath the art spectrum paper slip on top. is watercolour just not big enough in aus? with everything going up in price maybe people will give it up.
How interesting, I didn't know that about the Art Spectrum paper! Cotton especially all seems to come out of European mills. Maybe things will change if countries start to be more self-sufficient and manufacture things locally again. (Probably dreaming, lol).
I think I should note that PR48 and some of the other more obscure pigments are not lightfast. As such, I do not think that these pigments are made for industrial use… 🤨 unless they can put up with heat, acids, etc, in which case they might be industrial.
Pure speculation on my part, lol.
@@BeckyTregear 😄. We could check Handprint to find out more about PR48.
damn you are so cute the watercolors are amazing your voice i love her and you are so smart and sweet i want to be your friend
First!
I'm curious! You're very often first, across a large number of ArtTubers, yet you never comment.
How do you do this? Do you have your computer on, with CZcams open all day, waiting for new releases? I'm genuinely curious - not because I want to beat you to it, or anything like that, but simply because I'd like to know why you never comment on the video, and how you are so often first. :)
@@MrsBarnabas Hi MrsBarnabas! Actually, I comment on many videos. I believe I have added two other comment to this video. One is about the lightfastness of PR48 and other pigments and the other comment is about the availability of PBr25.
Regarding your enquiry about being the first to comment: I do not use my computer to watch CZcams videos, I use my tablet. It’s usually right next to me so whenever I get a notification about a new video I drop whatever it is that I am doing and comment “Fisrt!” 😂. I then watch the video later on when I have the time. It is most effective with art videos since the art community is very small on CZcams. With other videos I already find several comments even if I open the video the instant I get notified about it. I am not sure how that is. But I am working on improving in that area 😂
But I must confess, I 💗 the idea of having CZcams open all day on my computer waiting for new videos; I should give it a go one day 🤣
