Hi there, Liron here!
Today the Paint Show is back! And we’ll be reviewing paints by Rosa Gallery Watercolor.
This brand is actually based in Ukraine, and I’ve been in contact with Beáta, who sells them in Israel.
There seem to be multiple lines of watercolors, with the Gallery line being the professional grade.
I asked for these specific paints:
1. Black Grape
2. Raw Sienna
3. Cobalt Turquoise
4. Turquoise
My impression of these is that they’re great. Handle well, highly saturated, should be lightfast, a nice combination of different opacities.
Would recommend giving these a try if you have good access to them in decent prices.
So here are some links:

Let me know if you end up buying some, and hope you enjoy this one 😊🙏🏼

Hello, Liron. Thank you very much for reviewing ROSA Gallery watercolours. We wish you inspiration in your artwork.
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 This has been great fun!
Stay safe & let me know if you want to collaborate in the future ❤️
hello from Turkey. I will buy both tube and pan versions just to support Ukraine. Currently using Cotman sets, i also believe quality is not lower.
@@stanTrX Thanks for your support 🙏
Rosa!
I just left a comment..I won’t write a book, but I am purchasing your 12 set of single pigments tomorrow..added a pan of the cobalt turquoise because of this video 😊. I got back into art at my late Son’s prodding over 8 years ago…but in a different medium than I’d ever done before; Chinese calligraphy and traditional painting. (Complete with an 86yo retired art and history professor who had taught here in the US for 30+ years before retiring back to Chengdu). After my son died suddenly a little over a year ago, and with my own health..and failing vision issues; my best friend here, (also a retired art professor and married to a wonderful man from Ukraine), and my eldest daughter, (a singer/songwriter/musician/graphic artist and acrylic painter)-they both wanted to learn traditional chinese painting and my dear friend Liz suggested we find ways to merge and combine western and eastern….then my new Chinese tutor (who teaches in Europe) as well as another Laoshi (teacher) in China, asked if I had tried any western paints on Xuan paper. Longer story short; the quality of traditional paints has gone way down in recent years..,more than likely because the companies have branched out into more Western paints, gouache, WC, oil and acrylic…I just noticed a few days ago they (Marie’s) has even more now on alibaba and other sites including pencils, oil and chalk pastels along with accessories. 8 years ago, they had only the traditional, one pigment, natural paints. I still have some from my first set…and bought a new set for my daughter a few months ago..the difference is shocking. It’s causing a BIT of backlash with Chinese artists and professors..they no longer feel comfortable recommending Marie’s for students..and outside of China, they are recommending Kuratake (blasphemy on the mainland..they take their “intangible cultural heritage” materials VERY seriously. Yes, we still have our paint chips, but even they seem to be lower quality than just 5 years ago.
SO, I became, as Liz calls me, a “mad scientist”…in between hospital visits. I was in medical research before my health nose-dived…so I traded my microscope and Petri dishes for pigments and traditional mediums (mingjiao -a “glue” made from fish bones; this is also in Kuratake paints which allows them to be used on Xuan OR western papers..it’s called something else in Japanese..and peach sap gum, similar to gum Arabic.).
The ONLY western paints I’ve gotten to “behave” without the addition of another medium is QOR, I assume because of its unique binder. HOWEVER, there’s other issues with them, including they can’t really be wet-mounted. (Yes, I know about dry-mounting but after far too much money spent..us “older” ladies gave up trying..also, destroyed paintings & calligraphy in our attempts. I’ll let more adept young people with more money deal with it. A fixed income and silicone sheets don’t jive well 😂)
I HAVE had luck with some single-pigmented handmade paints. All I do is add some mingjiao, a little of the peach sap gum, to the brush water-voila! They can be used on Xuan paper..but, they aren’t practical for my friends overseas. Dr Chen started making his own, even TRIED to send me a very light gray-brown, granulating, made with coral, abalone shells and just a bit of real Pearl. Unfortunately..US Customs destroyed it. I now have a vial of dark pink paint chips..why they put the reagent into the vial instead of taking some out..is beyond me. I guess white, slightly sparkling powder and chips rang too many alarm bells. 🤷🏼♀️. I chatted with him a few nights ago and he said he just doesn’t have the time or strength to keep trying to make quality paints for his students.
Which brings me to your paints. For some reason even Liz was unaware that your paints contain only pigment and GA. This makes them PERFECT for what we’re trying to do. I don’t know what your market is right now in China; but if I can get this to work and stand up to wet mounting, which it should, (we believe the very thing that made QOR compatible with Xuan, also was the cause of the bleeding and smearing during mounting); you might have a new market open..unless, of course, the very long-standing traditional company I mentioned gets its act together. I was watching the new years gala last weekend with my tutor-they had a 3-4 minute segment on “Traditional Chinese Colors”..with poetry about each color, minerals and painting. (It was performed in a dance..but not sure how to explain the special effects except it looked like the dancers were “painting” the screen behind them..but, it was more 3D..like I said, hard to explain, but I’m sure it’s here on YT). My tutor and I said almost simultaneously, “do you think they are….?” Like I said, the terrible quality right now, famous artists openly using some western paints…it’s causing a stir. Liz said I should start my own company and make my own paints…too old and too sick 🤷🏼♀️😂
SO, I’m VERY excited to try yours! AND, if they work like I think they will…I’ll put my lab coat away and actually start doing some paintings! 😊. Tu Nián Kuále! 🐰🥳 兔年快乐！🐇🧧 (Happy Year of the Rabbit!)
I love ROSA watercolors. Very little to no drying shift. I can only get the pans and have three sets. Love their burnt sienna. The pans rewet so easily and pigment load is insanely good on the whole. A very enjoyable paint to work with. Reacts to salt really well too. Thanks Liron. Enjoy!
it's Ukrainian. "Творчість надихає!" stands for "Creativity inspires!", which must be their slogan. "Художні акварельні фарби" stands for "Artistic watercolours"
Amazing 😁😁 I thought it may be just the same thing in Ukrainian. So happy it’s a motivational thing haha
Thanks for the review. I have the Rosa Gallery 24 traditional color pan set and I love them. The colors are vibrant, mix very well, and rewet like a dream. I'm about to order some more colors in tubes.
Great review! Hope, you will have another one collaboration with Rosa, because they have launched new colors in this December🙏 I'm from Ukraine, and I'm proud of the high quality manufacturers like Rosa❤
I love Rosa Gallery paints - I should reach out to them 🙏😊 Thank you for watching!
I have a full palette from Rosa, and I love these paints!
I just recently acquired the botanical palette of Rosa Gallery paints and I was impressed by them. Whole pans. 💖
Love you, love my pure country in war and I really LOVE this watercolor 💓❤️
Hi, Liron. Thank you for review. Just for note: It is written in Ukrainian language, not russian, as it is product of Ukraine.
I bought these while in Slovakia. Got a pan of 26 and selected a few more. Like them a lot. I have not found them in the USA, but go over to Slovakia each year and will continue to buy them while there. I do not have the grape black which looks interesting. Thanks for the review. Liked the pallet you created!
UPDATE…I have found them on Amazon in the states! Yeah.
How much are they in Slovakia If I may ask?
@@suchendnachwahrheit9143the store where I bought them in Slovakia has closed. All I remember is they were very reasonable and I was surprised with the excellent quality.
Even though i wasn't painting ( couldnt get out of bed) a year and a half + ago , i still bought these. Didnt send any to you because i vaguely remembered this review. I might be well enough to do a little painting...at least playing with my paints soon. Will be interested to see how much of this i remember....( having a very sketchy memory for the last 3+ years) oh well😂😂
♥️🙏♥️
I have about 30 colors from Rosa Gallery (Pans and Tubes) and they are all very very saturated and easy to rewet. I miss granulation in colors that'd typically granulate (so perfect for people who dislike granulating colors). RG has very vibrant quinacridones!
I really love that palette of these four colors with quinacridone rose, I'm getting some dreamy landscape vibes. Can't wait to see what you paint with these.
Finally you tested Rosa Gallery, dear Liron. Thank you so much for this video. I've tried Magenta Rose, Aureoline and Ultramarine, and I absolutely love them. Wishlist updated after watching those colors on the paper. 💓
Their Magenta Rose is hands down the most beautiful PR122 I've ever worked with.
@@irritatedlibrarian9057 Right? It's absolutely gorgeous.
As it’s Ukrainian manufacture the text on the box is in Ukrainian language 😉
What have you done!?! Now I’m going to have to go out and buy paint! The Turquoise and Raw Sienna are gorgeous together!
😂😂 Sorry my bad 😛🎨
I love them, these my main and primary colors. I use pans and tubes also. They are hugely pigmentend and made "the old way" with minimal chemicals. Amazing colors. Pans are well moisted so it is quickly usable when I decide to touch another color.
Love that your trying Rosa. I have a set of pans. Amazing paints at for the money - perfect way to support Ukraine.
I absolutely adore Rosa Gallery paint. Thank you for that presentation. The Cobalt turquoise is one I think I may have to add to my collection. I live on the Gulf of Mexico and that color will be awesome in beach scenes. Your videos are so inspirational!
I love these! I recently reconstituted a W&N Naples Yellow. I had forgotten how lovely that was! I do love those turquoise and teals and their mixes are delightful! !
Hi Liron 🎉 I just ordered the Portrait set to try then, I am replacing the Ultra Blue with DS INDANTHERONE BLUE. I think I don't want granulating pigment in my portraits, but then, VERY very little blue is used in skin tones.
Thanks for the review ❤
Hurray! I bought the 24 set because they deserve all my support!
Amazing 😊 I’m sure you’ll enjoy these!
The paint show...back to the oldies but goodies.
I received a few samples and now after your most helpful review for sure ordering a 24 set from Amazon and maybe even more - and to help Ukraine which is breaking my heart.
I know you’ll enjoy these ☺️ Hopefully it will help the business and country in their great time of need ❤️
Nice colors and very useful test/review for color combo’s and suggestions. Very beautiful mixes, indeed!
These appear to be well liked on amazon reviews too. I might pick up a set... thanks! I would love to do just a tiny part to support.
Спасибо большое за обзор!Вы-супер!Мне Роса нравится!
Wow! Thank you for this review!
Hi Liron, thanks for your videos! I learned much from them when I started painting with watercolors again a few years ago, even if I paint mainly in abstract style.
Concerning the Siena / Yellow ochre: have you tried Veronese yellow ochre (also called Italian gold ochre/Venetian yellow) or Burgundy yellow ochre?
I can imagine you might like those. The Burgundy yellow is a very warm yellow, while the Veronese yellow is lighter. Persian yellow ochre is also something to consider. Somewhere between ochre and Siena, I guess.
I don`t know if you can get those as pre made colors, but you could make your own colors easily from the raw pigments and watercolor binder (takes only 5 min. with these earth pigments). Available from many places. One very good shop is located in Italy.
Kremer Pigmente in Germany has all kinds of pigments also, and waterolor binders and everything you need for color making.
There are also French online shops selling all kinds of ochres, for example.
I wasn`t able to post the comment, maybe because I had links added.
Removed them now.
Can send the links separtaley if you are interested.
Just an idea.
I own a bunch of these bc they're cheap where I'm from. I love them except the cobalt turquoise was too gummy, glossy and sticky when it dried (maybe it was a bad batch or idk what happened). Otherwise the rest were amazing. Specially the PR122.
Their PR122 is probably the best of that pigment I've ever worked with.
Great landscape colours!
The Black Grape stood out to me too, but I'm sad to see it contains PV3, which is totally fugitive. (Neutral tint is different in every brand. Qor makes one with no black but most contain it). I love using phthalo turquoise together with cobalt turquoise.
all the 4 only one color swatch patches on the left side looking a little bit like landscapes with some brush strokes, ... darkness, sandy desert, icy and under water ...
I´m thinking these awesome pretty artist colors will help for your art, and you can also have a lot of mixing fun with these.
It's a pity that you can't order sets to Germany via amazon. And on the official site you can only request, but not buy. I'll keep looking anyway. Thank you for the video and for showing us different brands. I'm really learning a lot from you.. And I really need that quinacridone rose :D Its amazing :)
Thanks for reviewing these. I have been trying to find them but they are hard to find where I live.
yeah, for some reason, most camera cant show the turquoise correctly, it often fail to capture the small hint of green that turquoise has, so it often either turn into blue or turn into green, rather than a blue-green
Need to get a DSLR urgently 😂
Nice representation of colours as well as an introduction to a manufacturer I was not aware of
I am wondering if cobalt turquoise and cobalt turquoise were switched?
Cobalts can be intense and staining
These are some really interesting colors. I like the mix of the turquoise with the raw sienna and violet. I would love to see a video using those colors. Thank you for sharing and supporting a Ukrainian product.
I’m ordering the 12 single pigment set tomorrow…but adding that cobalt turquoise! The set has a beautiful burnt sienna PR101 that I’m excited about. I’m trying to decide on a few other single pigments for mixing if you have any suggestions? PS I actually prefer granulation in my mostly landscape paintings.
Hi Liron great channel & your style is very cool,mate I found a new brand RENESANS made in Poland,I Tried there Raw Sienna PBr7(Earth Pigment) just on the Opaque side, light Staining & lightly Graining 3/10 price $7:95AUS 15Mil Tube, & Art Spectrum Raw Sienna Natural PBr7 ? Also not very grainy.But both are quite streaky in a thick wash mix,Liron good luck with your search, & Thank you very much.PS STAY SAFE.🖌️🎨🖼️
Wish i had sent you raw sienna from m. Graham....will look thru paints when i can....
Wow these are amazing. Great video. First comment
Great review. I have a question.What would be a good board or surface to tape my watercolor paper to? What do you like to use?
Probably a cheap wooden board is good enough! Where I live it’s just 1$ each
I was surprised how unsaturated the lt cobalt turquoise looks. I compared the DaVinci on both and it was surprising. I use my dark turquoise to make greens too. And they can be desaturated.
I’m interested in these but anyone know where to buy in USA? I’d rather not go thru Amazon
You could try Etsy, but unfortunately, Amazon would probably be your best bet
that raw sienna doesn't look at all, like the ones I have. I have one by white nights (which I don't like and I stopped using that brand all together) and I have the very liked by Schmincke A.and one of the most use paints all together. I find i very smooth in use. You probably have it. Don't you like it?
I don’t think I have it actually! At least mot anymore (: The only Raw Sienna I remember before this one was Sennelier (their artist grade) and it was just the same in terms of feel and texture haha. So I assumed they’re always this way 😛
@@LironYan :-D
It is written in Ukrainian:)
The turquoise is white green really
Daniel Smith Monte Amiata Natural Sienna
I have one Rosa tube. Indigo. It leans black and dries muted. I love brilliant colors so it turned me off Rosa.
So glad to know you’ve had trouble with sennelier raw sienna too. I thought it was just a bad tube
I find the indigo doesn't really look anything like Indigo, but more like Payne's Gray. Still a useful color though.
The box is not written in Russian, but in Ukrainian. And these languages are written in Cyrillic. When you see these letters, it is Cyrillic writing. It is not only Russian that is written in this way, but also Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Belarusian and other languages. This is so that everyone understands that there is a difference. Thank you for the review!🙂😉
Why would it be in russian, when it is produced in Ukraine? Haven't you ever heard of ukrainian language?!
Thank you for supporting Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
It's Ukraine. Not The Ukraine. There's only one Ukraine. Thanks 😊
Ukranian watercolors hahahah no thanks
Just FYI- it's Ukrainian language on the box. 💛🩵🎨🌹
Should have known! As I know it’s a Ukrainian brand 🙏🏼
