Daniel Smith Vs Mission Gold ~ Artist grade watercolor comparison

[@mydogeatspuke]

Of course DS would win a granulation competition when you compare French Ultramarine to Mission Gold's Peacock Blue. One is made of a highly granulating pigment, and the most granulating version of it too, the other is a blend of two Phthalo pigments that famously are high chroma, staining and do not granulate at all and are designed that way.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

True that!!

[@SwedePotato314]

Both. I couldn’t live without either. I have a set of the regular Mijello Mission gold class that I got for cheap and use for plein air and really regularly and I loooove them! But the pure pigment set is something special and I save her for special occasions. Gorgeous vibrant colors and lovely consistency. I prefer semi moist vibrant and more pigment loaded, more opaque Asian style watercolor, Holbein, ShinHan, White Noghts and Mijello are top tier and all somewhat in that category in my mind. Daniel Smith has a PHENOMENAL color range, especially with the Primatek and all the granulating and layered colors. Their paint is super high quality and I love the way it moves and looks while I’m painting and the finished product. Their hand poured pans make them feel even more special. I look forward and get excited when I use both Daniel Smith and Mijello. I couldn’t choose between them. They both have their strengths and neither is bad or low quality- there’s just different characteristics for different artists and their needs.

One major difference between these brands is that Daniel Smith almost never goes on sale. Because of the discounts, you can get a 36 tube (7ml) set of Mission Gold for the price of DS's 10 tube sets of 5ml. That's like 5 times more paint than Daniel Smith! It even comes with a Mijello waterproof palette. On the price point it's hard to beat Mijello...

[@alexshi9320]

I have tried daniel smith and mission gold. You can’t go wrong with DS but for some reason mission really brings a unique blend for their pigments

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

I agree!

[@goelnarendragoel1057]

one of the best-made color comparisons, unbiased and yet comprehensive. kudos to u.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you sir!!!

[@Saanviiiii479]

Never knew you can actually pull back the paint from tubes😲

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Yes we can 😊

[@janc6495]

I know, right? my mouth dropped when he did that.

[@palomaharcha6961]

Nice and fun video! but next time please try to compare the same pigments ;)

[@DigitalViscosity]

I'm not one to look at the "good and bad" but to define the properties of paint I have and use it for those specific purposes, none of my pieces are exclusively one brand. That goes for Watercolor, Gouache, pastel, and colour pencil. I find every supply i try(not the obviously really bad ones) makes some type of unique mark that is usable in some form.

[@DigitalViscosity]

and come on did you think the most famous ultramarine blue DS granulation vs Peacock was even fair?

[@granttheking98]

You can add ox gall to MG paints to make them spread faster.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thanks..i must try them

[@shyamalideb]

Thx

[@JayNathanWatercolor]

Great video showing the difference between the two. I would choose the Mijello. 😊

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

I love the Lavender from MG..surely gonna include that in my palette and paint something

[@ohsfer11820]

DS is very good paint. But I choose MG, I like it so much.❤ Very good review.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thanks!!

[@miscomicsfavoritos2876]

Great video! Congrats friend!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you!

[@ohsfer11820]

I'm back here on your video and realized it's not fair cause the other one do not contain ox gall so doesn't disperse as much. Also, I just found out your from India and I fillow this really awesome Indian artist who do portraits and uses Mijello Mission Gold.. He was the reason that I choose Mission Gold.. It doesn't disperse like crazy so I have more control. I'm also a portrait artist.. I will also get some set from DS but they're very expensive paints. Still enjoy your comparison video❤

[@user_8735]

I have both. Daniel Smith is better but very expensive ;( but I’m still happy with MJ

[@huseyinturk9635]

Dear Niaz, This comparison was absolutely wrong, you should compare pigments one by one in each brand. For example PB29 (granulating pigment) Ultramarines. PB 15:3 (non granulating pigment) Phthalo Blues YS. PB28 Cobalt Blues. PY 3 Lemon Yellows etc. Same brush, by equal pigment and water amount on equal paper area etc. I think yes Daniel Smith is a bit better than Mijello. But Mijello Mission Gold is cheaper four times than DS. You can buy 4 pieces of MG 15 ml tubes instead of DS'. I love high-quality Mijello Mission Gold for more and more affordable prices.

[@KatyplayzYoutube]

I choose MG because it looks for me beautiful and I support the colors there 😅 because I have one

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Nice 👌🏼

[@andromeda1980]

😂 wow i love your video!!!❤❤❤ is so funny and i learn a lot!. I have my first daniel smith in two weeks!. Im waiting!!😂 couting the minutes!. I buy in godets, do you think is good.?

[@ellyhier7317]

Большое вам человеческое спасибо за прекрасную демонстрацию акварельных красок ❤

[@danyelhudon458]

Great video and very useful , thank you!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Pleasure!!

[@rebeccakahrs7290]

This is not a fair comparison at all. To do a fair comparison you should use the same pigment properties side by side. You can’t expect a transparent staining pigment to respond the same as an opaque or granulating pigment…..geeze.

[@sandjune2753]

hmm its not really a fair comparison if you have not used the same identical colours, or at least the same pigment codes. Love the peacock blue colour

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Its not a color to color comparison..but a general overview of both the brands!

[@GinaBadeaux]

i have many brands now i love the mission and art whale for price ,i use daniel smith less because i have less of them ,the mission and art whale have great pigment load ,thank you even if i am 2 years late lol

[@marcb6444]

Interesting review you made. 👍🏼 Like you, I want both. 😂 At least, I have another option when my DS ran out. I just hope MG is a tad cheaper in my place.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thank you!! MG is 3 times cheaper than DS here in India 😊

[@amandine2239]

In France DS is 2 times more expensive than MG, but unfortunatly MG dont have cadmium reds. I think ill buy MG paints and complete my collection with WN or DM.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Its totally opposite here in India. I underestimated mission gold for a long time but they are good

[@giespel68]

Ehh, Daniel Smith doesn't have cadmium watercolours..

[@pantalonious3984]

You could have and SHOULD have at least used the same colors and pigments for comparisons especially granulation. This was not a fair representation

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

True!

[@joseandygonzalez5624]

I think the same, is not an impartial comparisons, I can even see the amount of water she use to try how it spread in wet sheet and she put less to try Mission Gold. So From the first moment she was selling the DS. dislike

[@rebeccawong1]

Yay, I ordered more of DS last week n this is a confirmation video 🙏🏻

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

👏👏👏

[@InnerMagpie]

Art whale tubes look like mijello, very very similar!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Really!!

[@nicholasdustin14]

Please compare Mission Gold VS Holbein

[@claychick100]

This was really not a fair comparison. You needed to use the same pigments. Thanks for trying though.

[@R_H21]

😆 you can’t have both. Just kidding. I have both but I really like my M Grahams so I reach for those. DS has really pretty colors though. I should paint more with my Mijellos and get to know them more.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

True that but i don't know why brand doesn't really matters much to me 😁

[@prikshitverma3885]

So which one u like more?

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

DS without a doubt

[@mariacardozoyouarehiredyah]

Didnt know Mission gold is artist grade. Looks like with Daniel S watercolors you can achieve great effects and Mg is more affordable.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

True that

[@diannaa5631]

Not a fair comparison

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

😄

[@ratulsarkar8972]

Comment before watching the video: is this comparison even fair?

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

So what do you think after watching the video?

[@ratulsarkar8972]

@@niazhannanwatercolors it's DS all the way, but the prices are that high.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

@@ratulsarkar8972 True that..DS is 2 times or sometimes 3times more expensive than MG

[@everartokelli]

In the US, Mission Gold is usually more expensive for the high quality pigments, sometimes cheaper if you buy the color mixes or the big sets.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

@@everartokelli In that case we Indians a lucky to get it so cheap😌

[@chedoodles]

what a leap of brand. so much difference between the two, one being that Daniel Smith makes beautiful, granulating, flowing colors and the other, not so much when it comes to flow and granulation. this is gonna be exciting

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

It becomes even more exciting when you have mixed brands in your palette and you know how each color react differently for different parts of the painting! Like i would love MG for the clouds as i don't want my clouds to be granulating

[@mydogeatspuke]

Mission Gold have plenty of granulating colours. They have lower "flow" because they don't use dispersal agents made from animal biproducts, but you can add a few drops of ox gall to your water to combat this if it's important to you. All brands offer something different, one isn't objectively better than the other just because you prefer a certain behaviour in your paints.

[@zhannatalalaeva4034]

Biased! Try using the same pigments from both brands.... Taking the worst pigments like Bright Opera from MG range and comparing them to DS, bravo
