Thank you Lindsay. Your reviews are always so thoroughly done! I am glad you

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Are following up with the blue bird painting!

[@anitaholmes6824]

Great review..and BTW I love your bird! TFS

[@rnee1000]

Love the flowers on that container! What a beautiful reference for a painting!

[@Artemystik]

Thank you Lindsay! I always enjoy your reviews. These look like interesting paints for playing around with. Thanks for sharing. 👍😍👍

[@azzuparis]

This set is very nice! I really like the variety of colors and the fact that they come in a metal tin. And the price is interesting too. Thanks for this review, Lindsay :D

[@LittleKnitWhit]

Thanks for the review! Would you consider doing a loose beginner tutorial for the flowers you painted? They are beautiful and would make a great spring card!

[@melaniehogan3247]

Can you pop out the paint from the pan? There are so many yellows, I’d like to replace them with colors I use more.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You could try but the pand are glued in.

[@Via_Von]

That sheen would be nice for painting greeting cards, I think, as it would make them appear mildly embossed. Great review, Lindsay! I love so many mediums but watercolour has worked its way into and around my heart after my class with you.

[@StarryDreamer28]

how are they at going through paper? I use a crayola palette and the paint is kinda waxy/gel-ish so it goes through the paper on the green or blue. but the "dry" cakes from art kits are my favorite cuz they're bright but don't go through even printer paper if careful

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They should stay on the top of the paper. They act like chinese watercolor that is thicker and bleed less. Hope that helps.

[@StarryDreamer28]

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you! any tips on white accents? I know gel pen is supposed to show but it always soaks into the construction paper

[@thefrugalcrafter]

@@StarryDreamer28 try a white chalk or white charcoal pencil

[@craftergin]

Thanks, Lindsay! I like knowing that this type of paint was kinda designed for use on cardstock or in journals.

[@jeannel1065]

Thank you for this review. I’m thinking they may be just the thing for my teen granddaughters to try out.

[@rhondamagee7459]

Interesting! Thanks for the review, Lindsay 👍

[@ArtnFlyOfficial]

Your reviews are so thorough and enjoyable to watch, Lindsay! Thank you for such a detailed review of our 72-set. By the way, the color codes on the swatch sheet that comes with it are actually the Pantone colors so if you enter them in the search bar on www.pantone.com/color-finder it’ll pull up a little info about that color 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for the info! I'll have to check that out!

[@debbielinderman3076]

Would love a tutorial on the blue bird?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yes, I recorded one, probably posting in a week or so:)

[@pdquilt1]

What is the pallet that you put your Gansi Tambi watercolors in? I also don't like their box. Thanks.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

It is the tin that you used to get when you bought the 6 qor tube sets. It's awesome but they made the tins smaller when people complained that they were too big (can you imagine?) So now you need to order the 24 set for the larger tin.

[@pdquilt1]

@@thefrugalcrafter I just looked at the price for that, wow! I got this set from Amazon Royal & Langnickel Large Tin Watercolor Painting Art Set for $10.25 and removed the stuff inside. The tin works pretty well and the foam that comes packed in it I cut up and put in the top and bottom edges of the tin to keep the pans from sliding around. So far so good. Thanks for your response.

[@flamedragon76]

I use a 36 pencil tin for mine it fits the 36 set plus 6 shimmer colours

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. 💜

[@mayloo2137]

I use a lot of greens and blues. I would love a set of each color, and some metallic colors. I wonder if they would fade like the pastel shades. Edit: I didn't realize professional-grade paints cost so much. Wow. I think I'll stick to the student-grade paints.I enjoy mixing my own colors. Saves on budget!

[@nessawaters9619]

Thanks so much it helps a lot it hard find good watercolor i just found I am good at watercolor I just use pencils

[@susanhenshaw639]

Hi Lindsay! Do you use a stamp or printed out computer page for your swatch layout? Same for the swatch color circles?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I use a rubber stamp from waffle flower but they also have a free printable.

[@vickie6228]

Thank you for the great review. Off topic, though...I see you point at colors and say those are cool or those are warm, and I'm still thinking, 'why can't I see and understand that?'. I started understanding color bias a little more, but not enough to really help. Perhaps you've already done an in-depth video on the subject; if so, please direct me to it. Thanks, Lindsay.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Search split primary palette on my channel and a couple videos should pop up. It's probably easier to see in person than on video.

[@wulfseig1864]

If you get this set of Daniel Smith watercolor paints smile.amazon.com/DANIEL-SMITH-285610005-Essentials-Introductory/dp/B00WT5VRF6/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=daniel+smith+watercolor+set&qid=1581979816&sprefix=daniel+smith+&sr=8-4 and watch Lindsay's split primary video it will start to make sense. Do you have a set of watercolors? If you could let me know the name or manufacturer I can tell you which colors to use for the split primary video.

[@vickie6228]

@@thefrugalcrafter Thanks! I didn't find split primary per se', but I think this was it. Color Wheel: How to mix colors with a limited palette. Oh, girl...and that oldie-goldie from 2012, too.

[@onemig00]

Warm primaries are those leaning towards orange... Cool primaries are leaning towards icy blue... A cool red is magenta-like and a warm red is crimson or scarlet

[@vickie6228]

@@onemig00 Thank you. It's starting to click more.

[@lynnleigha580]

Easiest thing I found for those cases that make the paint bead up, is to spread a thin layer of white toothpaste on it and wipe it off, works like a charm

[@labaccident2010]

Fun fact: that is often a trick divers use to get the layer of protective substance off of dive masks to keep them from fogging as much when underwater.

[@maibritton2882]

Could you review a quality yet inexpensive watercolor journal/ book? The research that I have done tells me I will have to pay $$$$$$ for quality. Thank you.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'd go for arteza cloth covered ones or stilman & burn beta series mixed media book

[@influentialolive]

Oh wow! That's interesting. I Thought the 24 pan, may be good for a "Trial" I'll have to swatch them alongside my Sakura Koi, as well as inktense or Dr.PH Martin's- to see how they All compare..

[@GreenGleem]

Can anyone tell me the name of this style of circular swatch charts? I just bought both the Pretty Excellent watercolors and the Himi gouache and I want treat them right haha. Google has not been helpful.

[@Amywazwaz06]

I love their alcohol markers. I also bought their oil based pencils. I really love those also. They have great customer service also. These look interesting.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Those are really good too!

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

Hey Lindsey! Thanks again for a great review, so have you tried the 24 and 48 set of art and fly? Was there a way you compared the 72 to know they are different? Thanks again!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The owner of art n fly got back to me and said the 40 and 72 sets are manufactured in the same factory and have a similar consitancy but the 24 are from a different factory.

[@creativesolutionsart-h3o]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Awesome! Thank you good to know!

[@notyurbizniz5568]

7 yellows? Wow!

[@Amywazwaz06]

Fran from Stampendous is doing a basic watercolor on going class on her you tube channel using the basic Daniel smith set of six primary colors. It is geared towards beginners.

[@michit2862]

This is not a brush tip

[@chrisblevins5143]

Im such a weirdo, I'd rather have a slight shine on the dry paint than dusty chalky texture lol

[@SnakeBitesTattoo]

The colors are pretty...

[@SnakeBitesTattoo]

Love the idea of the sponges on side.
