Fun, pretty colors
I think its important to consider that these paints are made by and support indigenous paint creators and artists with natural materials. I love them …. Sometimes i purchase based on supporting small & local businesses and those who consider the impact on our environment. Thanks from Canada 🇨🇦
that salish sea is gorgeous! would love some of their paints one day
Awesome review thx for mentioning the color names and pigments 😊
Thank you for this wonderful video showing the various colors and their properties. I really like these. How do they layer, in your experience?
They do layer ok but things can start to get overworked and dark quickly but that may just be because I can be quite heavy handed with my paints
Thank you for making this really great and informative video. I was hoping to find out where you got the tin/container that is holding your Beam paints, was it from Beam or elsewhere? Thank you!
The tin is actually a Qor tin from one their 6 colour sample tube sets
are you keeping yours in the qor tin as well ? that's how i'm keeping mine, as it's the only tin deep enough, plus it gives me all the cute mixing wells on the lid. (i was even able to stick the beam paint sticker over the qor logo ! 😅)
my tin is almost at capacity, and i'm really tempted by their gouache paints now, dang it ! 😂
ah yes I am! its such a handy tin!
@@MinaDoesArtStuff it sure is ! 😃
Lovely, thx. Do you happen to know the pigment info for their Red Maple? Thx
Not that I know of I think that was one I couldn’t find on the website
@@MinaDoesArtStuff I'm guessing it's PV19. I have a small sample on one of the maple palettes. I really like it.
Gorgeous but way out of my price range
They have amazing sales from time to time. If you want to try them... get on their mailing list. : )
Forgive me if I say something a bit negative.. and I don't want to, but I was confused about something.. you gave a somewhat negative review of the Mungyo watercolor paints and I absolutely love them because of their vibrancy and reasonable price. These paints seem really kind of blah and quite overpriced in my opinion, for what you get. That part just seems strange to me.. sorry if it's negative because I enjoy your channel. I personally am not seeing the value of "handmade" paints.. it just seems like a bit of a novelty and you are not really getting a better product. I love the Jane Davenport watercolor, the Prima watercolors and the Mungyo because they are fun, and reasonably priced... I just would not purchase these, so I am glad you are showing them to confirm that for me.. they would not be my cup of tea... but I do appreciate your channel.
You’ve brought up a very interesting point about handmade watercolors which command a high priced v. mass produced affordable watercolors. I’m an amateur intermediate artist and my art could be created using the brands you mention, but I own professional and handmade watercolors. I look at art supplies in the same way I would look at a high end handmade designer handbag v. inexpensive mass produced one: they both do the same job because they will both carry stuff! 😂
Back to watercolors: handmade watercolors provide more choice in the market of art supplies, variety of different colors and textures, and the fact they are an artisan product, makes them feel special! May be it’s psychological? 😆🤣
Machine made professional watercolors (which isn’t the topic here, but I will add anyway) provide value in the form of lightfast information, availability to buy replacements, and pigment information. Handmade watercolors geared towards professional artists will also provide the same information that machine made professional brands do.
At the end of the day as long as you love using the products you own, that’s all that counts. I hope I didn’t come across as preachy or negative since that’s not my intention. I thought it’s an interesting discussion and I was unable to prevent myself from giving my opinion! ☺️
@@shadowguard3578 Good discussion.. and I like the analogy of the high end handbags... My daughter loves the high end handbags... and I could care less.. so as for the watercolors, if I am getting the effect I want and the colors I want at a reasonable price... that's what matters to me.. so I would much prefer a Mission Gold watercolor or Mungyo because they are so affordable... but hope to keep this discussion going and would love to hear what others think about it..
You can look at watercolours as merely tools to create art, but they can also inspire your art. We curate palettes full of our favourite colours to encourage us to create. Sometimes something high end and special can do the same. I mean...look at these little jewels! They look so enticing!!
@@impish22 I used to buy designer handbags as well. I spent far more money on handbags than art supplies. 😳😆
@@wellyano6964 very true!
I have them and don’t like them at all! They are not chromatic enough and the color range is very limited!Not a big deal at all😢😮
That’s totally fine if that’s how you feel everyone is entitled to their opinions
