Travelling around and buying art supplies must be really cool. Good to see that you are having so much fun in your travels. Those Indian art supply stores, they look so inviting and cozy! Really lovely. And you bought so much stuff! I would love to see some reviews!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

I really pushed on incorporating my hauls and tours along with my work.haha. this chance doesn't happen to me everyday, so i maximized it.hehe. yes, the stores in India are very casual you'd really be convinced to buy more, not to mention the great pricing. Will review them all soon. Thank you. 🙏 😊

[@clarissakumar1729]

Oh Wow! I am so glad you travelled to India. I can't wait to see your review on the 20 ml camlin watercolor tubes..... especially the colors that I love.... also your take on Chitrapat watercolor paper

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hiii. Yas, i was there weeks ago and cant wait to be back. 😊 will do the review or switching of the full set soon. Chitrapat paper is one othe things im most excited about really. 😊 🇮🇳

[@SusanaCE-ART]

I enjoy these series a lot. Keep them coming.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yay! That's good to hear. Thanks. 🙏

[@paintingsbyhanna409]

I love watching your vlogs, architect! You inspire me to paint more!! 💛💛

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thank you. I'm glad to inspire you to engage more in art. Happy painting! 😊🎨

[@starblight77]

This is so cool, I just found this video :D I used to pick up supplies from Himalaya in Mumbai all the time when I studied in JJ Architecture college across the road! Now I can watch your channel for all the watercolour reviews

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yay. 😊 hello and welcome to my channel. I miss India already. I think you'll also enjoy my India Sketch tour video. Happy watching, and have an artsy day ahead, my co-architect. 🇮🇳

[@starblight77]

@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you, I already watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it. I think you should do more urban sketching/ plein air videos!

[@tioliet927]

I’m new to watercolors, have always loved them. I find your videos so incredibly fascinating. Well put together, informed and informative. Crazy about your watercolor style! Thank u!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thank you so much, Tio, for the kind words and appreciation of my work. 🙏 please continue painting and explore the beautiful medium of watercolor. 🎨

[@ninafairyart]

Hi Alan! Always great to see a new video from you ☺️ I've been talking to one of your Indian subscribers recently who's been struggling to find reasonably priced, decent paints. I hope this video will help 💞

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hola niña. 😊 yes, i hope this reaches him/her. I think it is also best to source local if budget is a thing. And Camlin, based on testimonials is a good choice by locals both by quality and price. 😊

[@sevenmillionhobbies7840]

Woahhh I don’t know anything about Indian art supply stores! This is very cool!

[@AllanJayQuesada]

The stores in India are nice, casual and packed. Price of local goods is irresistible. 😊

[@PushpaNotes]

Hi Allan, it is nice to know that you visited some Indian cities. I'm very happy that you purchased Camlin artist quality paints. They are my fav paints because they are very affordable and good quality paints for someone who paints for fun and purely for the joy of painting. 3 generations of my family members have used these paints and the paintings have not faded at all. Even though they don't have pigment or light fastness info, I know they are vibrant paints. I would love to see some beautiful paintings and swatches of all the 48 colours. :)

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Wow. thank a lot for testifying the quality and the lightfastness of these paints. It's good to know they're reliable. I will definitely review the 48 colors the same way ive done my swatches and watercolor review.

[@girijal8853]

Pigment info is there now in camlin official site 😊

[@PushpaNotes]

@@girijal8853 Yes, as of appx mid 2023, Camlin has provided the pigment info on their website. At the time this comment was written, pigment information was not available. In some of Allan's new videos, Allan has mentioned that pigment info is available. (check out his gift ideas video). 🙂

[@annettefournier9655]

Thank you Allan. Wow really great prices! Yes if you can I would very much like Camel reviews. 💜

[@minakshi005]

Wow, it's nice to see you visited India, hope you had fun and enjoying your art material collection esp. Camel 48 colours collection... 👍👍

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Yes. My India tour was definitely the most colorful travel experience I've had both literally and figuratively. Can't really wait to swatch all the 48 Camlin colors. 🙏

[@mathurankur57]

Wow !!! One of the best Indian art supply haul video on YT right now 😆 it's good to see you completed all range of camlin tube colours now ❤️ will wait for some videos on the reviews of these art supplies and You may like chitrapat paper ❤️as it's my favorite budget friendly watercolor paper .

[@mathurankur57]

And yes they have increased the price of camlin watercolor tubes ... And I got to know it after watching this video 😅 last time I bought Ultramarine for ₹60 . And I think brustro watercolor copies Arteza ( not sure but I think like that ) 🤔.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thank you Ankur. 😊 cant wait for me to test this all out. The Chitrapat Paper is something im most curious about.. if I like it, i might hoard few blocks when I return. Haha. Oh so that confirms the price increase. I hope they hold the current price for a bit longer so when i get back, i can still buy few more sers or tubes as some friends are also asking me to buy for them.haha. and wjth regards tk the Brustro, yes I see that. They visuals and design of tube and box kinda looks the same as Arteza. But i hope Brustro performs better. 🤞

[@christownsend9550]

This is so interesting, I’m on a tour of India early next year, so will certainly be checking out watercolour supplies, I think the Best Buy for me would be the 100% cotton paper. The only cities same as you is Chandigarh, Amritsar, and Delhi. Glad I found your channel.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Oh my India! 🇮🇳 I'm now excited for you. India can be very extreme and colorful, so be ready. 😉 and i hope you also watch my India Sketch tour. There's an art store in Delhi that I missed visiting, and if I remember correctly, it's the "Khalsa Brothers" store. Yes, their cotton papers, mostly rag, are cheap and good. Be ready with your extra luggage.hehe

[@BRIO01]

I love to watch your videos 😇😊

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thank you. 🙏 🎨

[@PaintinHiding]

so fun! you travelled A LOT! hope you weren't too tired when you finally got back to PH ;P the aqua green and transparent orange were part of w&n's jewel tones set that they released some years ago. it wasn't in their range at first but later they added it permanently. so maybe that's why PH doesn't have it. slow to import. (same with thailand, slow to import things lol)

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Hahah. I was dead tired when I got back to the Philippines and my room was a ton heavier because of the haul.hahaha. but it was super fun experience. Yeah, i just learned recently that there was this jewel tones set of W&N with 5colors if i remember correctly. Prolly too slow trading. Haha. And sadly also, Jackson's art cant send W&N products outside UK and EU. It's weird.

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Ha…I was coincidentally reading your comment JUST as he said aqua green and transparent orange 8:12 …. It’s funny when that happens! Just subbed to your channel too PiH, looking forward to binging that after this 🤗🤗🤗

[@phillipstroll7385]

I love camlin watercolors. Love love love them. Or should I say I love their price. They are equal in quality as any other professional watercolor brand but pennies on the dollar. Love that about them. I also love handmade cotton paper from India. Even if it isn't watercolor paper it is easily made into watercolor paper at home in seconds.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

They're good but their price is better. Haha. That i agree. I love the Camlin paints too and India is lucky they have such good products at good price. Their handmade paper are very interesting with their color and texture, but of course, it's not for everyone.

[@normanbauzon5554]

Oh wowww. Prices are so cheap in India, hope those watercolor papers and paints are good.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

yeah i really hope so. But for the Camlin, I've tested and reviewed it already and it's good. The papers are all cotton so, i cant complain.hehe

[@normanbauzon5554]

Hi Gina. Thanks a lot. 🙏 if not for my reviews and fascination to different brands, id also just be focusing on only 3 to 5 artist grade paints.haha. wow thats a lot of sets. It must be really good. I'd be getting it if i could find a supplier. 😊

Hi Alan, I am so glad you could complete the collection of 48 camlin color tubes.. please do review them, I use them all the time but would like to know your thoughts as you have experience with many watercolor brands. And also review of Chitrapat paper...chitrapat paper 22”x 30” costs 50 rupees ( 0.75 cents) 100% cotton rough 270 gsm..I make my sketchbooks with this paper. Art lounge is one of my fave stores that I buy online all the time. Thank you for the video of the store.. Coming to the price difference in the tubes.. the prices of Camlin tubes have increased in the past couple months from 70 Rupees to 90 rupees. This particular tube must have come from new stock. Looking forward to your Singapore video and the review videos. Thank you for all your videos.. they are very informative.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Thank you so much for watching the videos. I am glad you find them informative. 😊 I will definitely swatch and review the 48 colors. Im so excited even if i have already reviewed the 12 colors.haha. Im also looking forward to the Chitrapat paper. I should definitely try it out and test it well so when J return to India, i know if i will get more. i wish i could easily pack the 22x30 in mh luggage if i get it as i prefer bigger sheets too. Another subscriber has told me that Camel is gknna increase the tube price to 120 rupees. Had I know that Camlin is increasing their price, i might have hoarded more of the older tubes.haha. but, I'm good for now, i guess. Thank you again and happy painting. 🙏 🎨

[@creativecolours2022]

Hi Alan. Are the Camlin artist watercolours any good? Have you made any lightfastness test on these colours?

[@specialeffectsgraphicsdesi9066]

These are professional grade colours. Great light-fastness. I have my mother's paintings from 1967, and they are still as fresh and bright as new. Don't worry about the quality. It's on par with most of the foreign brands. I tried Brustro water colours but they are nothing compared to Camlin/Camel. Just go for these. EXCELLENT results.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

Wow. So Camlin has been there since the 60's. That's incredible. Thanks for sharing the testimony of your mom's experience. 🙏

I noticed that you got the 20ml Camlin artists tubes separately, Did you have to purchase that box separately to store all your 48 tubes? I also want to buy all the 48 tubes and want to know how to store them if they don't come in a box. Next time you go back to Mumbai, try Camlin oil pastels, they are good too. I want to purchase their 52 shade collection the next time I visit home. :)

Hi Allan a question to artists. What do you do with the paint sets you don't like anymore?

[@AllanJayQuesada]

I really couldn't wait to do that. I'm praying to get more free time for this vlog. I am happy too, thag Camlin has updated the pigment infor of their paints in their website.. and that probably is the reason why the prices have almost doubled. If you could get some of the older batches, you should get them now. 😊

Dovrebbe essere un video rilassante,ma vedere la maschera in faccia quando gli altri non la portano è scortese per chi ti guarda e per chi ti circonda

[@AllanJayQuesada]

During the time this video was shot, the pandemic was still on going. Prioritizing your own health should never be an offense or a disrespect to anyone. The reason why they opted not to wear mask if for cctv because the location is a high risk. I obeyed their rule, even if it meant risking my health. Back home, i live with my parents who are 68 and 75 years old. My father was a kidney transplant patient and is highly sensitive, i would not want to dare acquiring any airborne and communicable disease that may harm them. My father got covid 2x and died 6mos ago, so I know the risk.

[@AllanJayQuesada]

​@t.fedelis109 sorry but when we arrived on May 2022 in India, the case of Covid was still up. There was the 2nd wave. Infact, India still that time has the highest cases aside from US and Europe. There is data available. We cannot just say there's no disease by looking at face value. There are territories who are easy and we can only do little. You can do a little research. And we were even let sign of waiver before leaving my country. If it weren't for work, i would have delayed the visit till the pandemic was lifted by World Health Organization.. We do not wear mask for fashion or just for the sake of following rules. It's 2023 and health is never below any custom. But again, it was confirmed that the removal of mask was only for cctv purposes. You do not disrespect by wearing mask. What if i was the one carrying the diesease? I was prioritizing health and I am responsible not just for mine but for the people around me. No offense by this but, i hope it should not be a disrespect if people choose to prioritize health.
