When people say paints are too bright, I think what they mean is that the mijello line lacks good earth tonnes. :(

I like the fact that Cotman paints go rock hard in the pan,because I'm so messy and tend to get covered in paint with the softer honey based paints. I just prewet the paints I want to use

This is so helpful. I am coming to your channel now when i need a brand comparison

What was that key called that helps you get all paint out. Please

Hi I wish id seen your review before buying it mine just arrived with a big Denton the centre of one of the raised domes on the lid . Not what you’d expect from an expensive pallet, I thought I was just unlucky but yours is damaged too

This video is rediculas and has no pertinent info

This sure didnt offect one thing people are so damn silly and petty

I've been using the Rembrandt Perm Red Violet as a substitute for Alizarin Crimson for years. All cobalt violets are trouble.

There's nothing wrong with more opaque if you want that--for example I find Sennelier is most transparent but I don't always want that. Lukas are a good compromise for better than student grade, but not as costly as professional grade.

too small IMO

Mijello Mission Gold 😍

Holbeins neutral tint is more beautiful than there paynes grey

Would love to see this redone with your newer voiceover style! Phthalo blues come in such a wide variety that i'd love to hear your take on them!

Love the “first” top left combo. Looks nice for landscapes maybe? The q-gold is an awesome color

BTW clean your brush all dirt is coming outside !

Chalky ? What a nonsense idea. Its a beautiful and technically best color and is my favourite, much better than Daniel Smith. Only M. Graham can reach it. Lukas is an old company, Van Gogh already got colors from his brother in Paris , who owned a shop. He said : " The best color I ever got,is this Lukas, please send me more ". But it was difficult that time to get more. The color was made with a secret " every time wet " formula, without honey etc. . Not sticky like D.Smith !The agreement with the University Duesseldorf was to sell them for a best price. Until today Lukas are the top colors for a very good price. Miello Gold is also better than D Smith and cheaper. There is also a student line by Lukas , used also by professionals. Lukas created top colors and concentrated on best quality and not to many colors, no gimmicks ( like most D.Smith colors ) . Smith has less quality, but a higher price. People think its expensive and must be good. Thats wrong. Sennelier, the old French company has the same philosophy like Lukas .They are also better than D.Smith colors and much cheaper and have 21 not 14 ml inside. Forget al colors from USA ! They dont have the tradition and knowledge of the old German , Belgian and French companies.. US dont has a painter culture like France and Germany with their great artists until today. The only USA culture is fast food and fat people, most on drugs ! A clean culture makes clean colours. Schmincke , Lukas , Blockx and Sennelier is the right choice and not the gimmick stuff for house wives like D.Smith ( which is chalky because they perhaps mix plaster inside to make more and more money, ) the American way :)

For PR101 I liked Terra Pozzuoli from Schmincke and English Red from White Nights

sorry, aber der Autor kapiert nicht das die Box aus Emaille ist! nicht Windsor and Newton!! Schminke horadam ist die beste!

I like the Lucas paint .

I do enjoy this colour spotlight, but I recently saw an artist I love use this so this was helpful! Will be getting my own tube soon, thank you!❤

Thank you.Useful

I like John Pike, Winslow Homer and a little know artist Emil Kosa and Phil Dike

Thanks for this video. You selected a very harmonious muted colour palette that suits the type of landscape you painted. That Phtalo Blue Yellow shade looks a lot like Prussian Blue (PB27). I recently bought the small starter set of 6x5ml and am so impressed by these paints. They are so pigmented, transparent and they mix so well. I would like to add some colours and after seeing you use that violet, I think I might have a favourite for my wishlist. Thanks again!

Thanks, Jay! This was so interesting to watch. I use an IKEA toiletries bag for my stuff. It has many compartments, elastic bands, zippers. It has a hook, which I can hang on to my tripod (adds a bitnof weight and stability) or a tree when painting outside. Very clever to switch from tape to clips. A tape roll is so big! I am trying washi tape now, which comes in smaller rolls. Thanks for the tour -it was enjoyable to have the calm background music too.

In this case I prefer the second painting. These paints seem beautiful and totally workable.

Wow. Love❤

I also really don’t like to use pb35 cerulean, I don’t know why but I just really dislike it. Just looking at the color makes me uncomfortable. 🤷‍♀️😅 Lovely swatches and wonderful review 🙌 thank you! ❤🎉

It's easy enough to neutralize bright colors and you've done an excellent job. An overly bright landscape could be kind of fun actually. Love your paintings.

Both are equally beautiful.

Those colors would be lovely with a desert 🌵 landscape just before golden hour when the sun dips low… dreamy

Hi , how is the palette working ? I ve seen someone who has the same type of palette when colors are dry , the fall out of the wells . I m looking to buy this type of palette but that worries me. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

They look stunning to me! Definitely go to get some of these for myself

I do think I like these four palettes a bit more than those of part two. It's a tough choice, but I think I'd go for your second one of this video but replace the quin gold with that azo green yellow. I like quin gold usually, but Holbein's just doesn't do it for me. Thanks for sharing these!

I still want one. It would fit in my purse for incidental painting. But I agree for the price which is currently $90 and being a German product known for quality the finish should be near perfect. Thank you for your review❤

Paul Clarke, Sunil Linus de, Paul Apps are some of my favourite's and they have an amazing YT channel too

Lovely paintings . I think you were a little too hard on yourself. ❤

Great video! Some of my favourites are Jean Haynes, Tom Shepherd and Peter Cronin!

I have seen these and they are pretty pricey, but found an alternative one without the water container which is small and better. but yet again the lid flops, so the only way to use these is to have the top facing your body and the pans furthest away.

Thanks for the review. Synthetic squirrel and kolinsky sable brush lines by Princeton (Neptune and Aqua Elite) are my go to brushes. I love using Raphael SoftAqua brushes too. My recent experience with Princeton Neptune 3/4 inch wash brush was great. Holds a lot of water and comes to a sharp flat edge when wet, which allows one to paint lines and details. Does the Raphael No.40 come to a sharp flat edge when wet? I need to know this before I get it. Thanks!

So Jay what paints are you using now. Its been a couple years since you did this video and i just begain painting and never knew about this and purchased well almost all the p colors. I sure am open to trying all kinds. I watched several of your color look videos and have gained a lot of new knowledge.

Try to see the works of Artist watercolor John Yardley i like his style.

Amazing and giving me hope that I’ll be able to do this one day too.

That ink is beautiful. I'm only starting my art journey in ink and watercolour.

Adore this colour. I'm totally in love with muted dusky colours....I think they add the perfect balance to any painting.

I got the version without watertank + pot and I think you were slightly unlucky, because my palette is in pretty good condition. I bought an empty palette and filled it with my fav. colours. I had the same problem with the palette on my table it was really wanky. I supportet the back with adhesive felt which works perfect. You can also add additional 4 1/2 in the middle row to carry in total 12 1/2 pans.

Love the painting!

I got my Ultimo mop size 14 in July and this looks more like your new one.

I really like & use Daniel Smith Cobalt Teal Blue.... most of my work is ocean, beaches & marine life.

This video just inspired me to buy 14 half pans of Van Gogh! A local art store here in Belgium has an August sale where they are a mere 1,7 euro for a half pan... Score 😃

"Deep" is a term paint manufacturers use to indicate a color that leans more toward blue/violet, not one that means it's darker. Therefore, it makes sense that the ultramarine deep is more violet. Just as confusing is the term "light" in paint colors, which generally means it leans more toward primary yellow, not a lighter version of a color. Of course, every manufacturer uses whatever color name they like, and everyone has their own idea of what a cool blue and a warm blue is, lol.
