Omg I'm gonna need to save up because I will HAVE to get myself the full set!!! such pretties~~~

Correction: imported and quadrupled the price. We all know how greedy and glutinous westerners are when it comes to gouging consumers. Those sell for about $60 for all 24 in Japan. Watch them priced at $150+ in the US and Canada by the devils

I like the no BS review. Straight to the point

How did you print it out on the paper so you didn’t smudge the text? Thanks!

I bought a Shinhan Green. I regret the purchase because i am sure the pigment choosen is just naturally deep and in the tube is diluted or the pigment info doesnt match reality.

I was just researching this right now. W&N calls their pr101 'Burnt Sienna' instead of 'transparent red oxide'.

There are some more colours being neon, I saw a post from Holbein Japans account

This is so good, love my quill mop ☺☺

Use ultramarine turquoise to have a granulating turq.

Amazing experiment thank you 🎉

💙💛💕

My Maimeri Blu Turquoise Green is PG16 and matches my Winser and Newton Phthalo Turquoise quite well. So yes, Maimeri Blu does sell a PB16.

1:10 Daniel Smith Indian Red is definitely maroon (cooler) relative to every other brands I've compared it with. Visually, it's almost indistinguishable from their Lunar Red Rock and Napthamide Maroon colors. However, it does produce warmer mixes than either of those, in my experience.

How do they hold up quality wise compared to Rosemary brushes?

I'm glad to see your comment, very professional description.😊

Goat hair usually doesn’t snap back, just like squirrel (especially the cheaper ones). There are sables that have naturally black or white fur. But I don't think I've ever seen either here in Japan, maybe because there's a restriction on sables here. As you said, there's also a possibility that the colors of the fur were changed. Dyeing brush is actually quite common in China, especially with the ones they claim to be 純紫 (purple) rabbit hair. Rabbit hair are expensive because of the amount of rabbits to make 1 brush are a lot. The cheap ones are all fake, black dyed sable or goat hair. The brushes that are dyed do tend to be harder than the non dyed hair. I had one fake rabbit brush that I bought before I did the research and was surprised to see the black faded gradually every time I used the brush and when the dye wore off after only several uses, it was so floppy and became one of the worst brush I've ever used in my life to the point that I threw it away to the garbage, even though I don't do that to animal hair brushes.

CW art in the gallery opposite mbk is always my first stop in Bangkok!

It looks like it could be pretty limited though hey, not super versatile 😊

I love your brush reviews! Thanks! And hi 👋🏼 😊.

Hairs could be bleached but a dye ? absolutely no way. Those are not Sables for sure, but if they're good enough and well priced, then they might worth a try 👍

Hi, Vee! Being curious, your thumbnail certainly made me wonder!!! 😄 Sable? 🤔Given your initial thoughts on the hair (Squirrel, goats' hair, and a mix if these two) your wide knowledge of brushes, and that I'd rather trust someone with that breadth of knowledge than a manufacturer, I can't imagine that these brushes are sable! I was also curious that your contact referred you to the website, when s/he could have given you a direct reply! However ... you've used them for several weeks, and your conclusion is that you like them, so on the pricing level, the hair becomes irrelevant, I think. You've been in my mind a lot lately, and it came out in a very funny way the other day, in the form of a little doodle for my sketchbook challenge. 😄 If you'd like to see it, let me know if it's ok, and I'll resize and send it to you. It's a line drawing, so it's photographed well. 🤗

I have their travel quills set and I love them, they are unbelievably good.

Can't watch right now, but the title sures build the hype 🤩

So excited for this new video from u^^

Too late again. Rosemary is out of stock with the larger size. I activated the notification when back in stock. Anticipation is making me wait... Na, it's the one of the spirograph effect.

😊Very interesting!! Thank you very much ❤

Mijellos looks beautiful! Do you have any experience with Shinhan's ultramarine violet as well? I was hoping to see a video comparing its performance to others and i wanna know if it tops Mijello's granulation and pigment

Thank you Vee

This one needs a comment, so here I am, Ta-da! I seen a danny smithy cobalt blue violet, Pb28/Pv19 so I ordered it. Can't find a good review of it, but the video swatches look pretty cool. I was thinking watered down it may look like a good sky color or shadows or grey mixes. Just surprised there's little info about it. Have a nice day! Missed hearing your voice on this one too!

o mg I love that serpentine genuine but it is so pricey. I learnt to get a similar hue by mixing sap green or pure pigment pg36 with a touch of opera pink. Use your holbeins. I learnt this from my floral course with artist Yuliya. She uses Shinhan, but I find similar by using my mission gold or holbeins. Give it a try?

I wonder if you might be able to share about Sketchbooks you enjoy using for water media. (p.s. not to peek into your art but more about your view on quality of paper) Your vids are very useful!

wow… thank you for all you do to help us make decisions. I’m just the opposite… On a tight budget, I can only get a bit at a time so I need to be vvv decisive. Do you have links to online stores in Thailand ( with English communication) that I maybe able to find open stock, especially Mission Gold which I cant get in Malaysia. 🙏🏻

Ahh, another “Eye Candy” clip! Apologies in advance as I get all “Pigment Nerd,” I promise I don’t meant to sound preachy! Just a heads up to anyone concerned with lightfastness, a couple of these contain fugitive pgmts in them (per Kim Crick): *SHADOW VIOLET LT & PRZYBYSZ’S GREY.* (Oddly, Shadow Violet is fine…just the LT one that’s wonky.) 😢 Much as I love them, I wouldn’t want anyone who sells their work/is otherwise concerned to order w/o knowing; like so many lines, their LF ratings don’t reflect their reality. Thanks as always, Vee…your videos & shorts are always a pleasure!

There are Senellier test packs that seem to come in similiar tins.

btw, if you have Holbein pg7 veridian and Holbein QuinGold PO150+PO48… you can flexibly mix versions of the DS one. Adjust the holbein Quingold to get it more or less olivey And for the “too bright” sap greens, I mix it with a touch of opera and it muted down beautifully. Learned this from artist Yuliya’s floral course.

It actually says in chinese neon orange but they just don't know how to translate it correctly so it 's "passion" orange . 😅 pigment numbers are weird because a lot of non lightfast pigments , none of the pro brands would ever use.

♥️ I WANT THEM ALL. Hope I can find them next month!

Mijello Cobalt Blue 2...seems more clean and consistent.

Thank you

I want all of them!!! They are SO NICE :D

Thank you Vee....for another great color review.

I have the Holbein PY150, PO48 ( Quin Gold) because of affordability…. to mix greens. I wonder how similar or different it is to DS NAYellow.

How can I order it?

Made my own funky brush and I love it. They're easy to make! And the rougher that circle is, the better if you want to make trees and foliage.
