Jackson’s Art Supply Watercolors: First Impressions, Swatch, Sennelier Comparison, and Glazing Chart

[@angiewright-artist8246]

Just wanted to compliment you on how thorough your comparisons are. With Jackson being such a reasonable price I was so curious about the quality, properties and layering. Also Magenta is one of my staples and I completely agree with your opinion and I would have been so disappointed to try it and see its closer to a quinn violet or a pv19 darker color. Thank you for making this video girl!

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

You are so very welcome!! I’m glad you found it informative 😁. They are awesome paints but def look at the color chart and some swatches, the names and even some pigments (like alizarin crimson PR206) are misleading for sure!

i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online?

@Finn Forest Thank you, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!!

[@finnforest9361]

@Roland Dustin no problem xD

[@miriammoriarty8588]

This is so helpful, thankyou so much! Love that you have the pigments listed also. I've already ordered the cobalt but the cerulean looks really good too :)

[@ianjackson5834]

in the UK and Europe we use the BWS (blue wool system) for lightfast tests and in my research of Jacksons watercolour paint they have very good lightfast property's in most of the paints. TFS

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Thank you for sharing. Yea I’m pretty sure based on the pigment info alone that their lightfast tests are pretty accurate and I would sell art with these paints for sure!

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Getting into it...fantastic comparisons....thank you.

[@InTheBlackBoxTV]

Thank you for the detailed review! I didnt expect the Jackson's to be that flowy but I love that to be honest! Just ordered a few tubes to try :)

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Thank you for watching! And yay 😀!! Have fun 🎨

[@AngelImagesbyLisaMarie]

Great info thanks so much. Love the glazing, got to do that some time looks so satisfying to remove that tape and it looks really pretty.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Super satisfying lol! And you learn a lot while you do it so bonus 😉

[@judithf9297]

Hello, thank you this was a very detailed review. I am looking at the Jackson’s paints, and some of the colors don’t exist at the website, like Quin Red Orange, or Cadmium Red purple, and a few others. You think they changed colors since a year ago? Thanks

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

It’s very possible that they stopped using certain pigments in their line. Also could be that they just changed the name, but I know I couldn’t find the pigment for Quin red orange anywhere in their line. Thank you for watching!!

[@DrPhilologist]

Very nicely done, thanks for the video. I have to say, when you compare tubes with tubes, these are identical. Sennelier tubes are waaaaaay more punchy and intense than their pans. They are basically super intense and vibrant while their pans are extremely mild and mellow.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Thanks! I have a few tubes and I’ve noticed that. The problem I have with Sennelier tubes is it takes 2/3 of a tube to fill a pan, bc they shrink a lot. 3 out of the 5 tubes I have are gone already because the binder separated very badly. I wonder if it’s a it’s been shipped to the US thing. I dunno. Either way I do love both the paints. And it’s great that Jackson’s are super affordable.

[@DrPhilologist]

@@peaceandpaintbrushes Yeah, it must be the shipping. I always have great issues with non-European paint... The price is unbeatable indeed! This must be what other brands would be charging if they were not spending money on promotion and advertising.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

True! I mean even their cobalts are only $10/21ml tube!

[@kamalitarajagopalan2671]

I just ordered a couple of the pans to check it out and I am so impressed with them!! I think I might actually order more, but am undecided between the ivory black and neutral tint. Which one do you like better? I am looking for granulation so that I can mix it with other non-granulating colors to get texture.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Neutral tint doesn't really granulate, but is a much more dynamic color than just ivory black. Ivory black only has very subtle granulation in most brands. You can mix a granulating black with ultramarine and a warm orange. Or if you want a tube/pan of a granulating black, mission gold has a cobalt black that granulates amazingly. Daniel Smith has manybgranulating darks as well.

[@lindyashford7744]

The senneliers look as though they have been mulled finer which can sometimes reduce the refractive index.I love your glazing chart, I haven't seen one like it and may well try it for myself, having very little patience for the way the charts are usually done. Great to watch someone else doing them but just too long a process.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Thanks. Yea it is much easier to do. And yes you are prob right!

[@LeesChannel]

Hey there Barbara, I haven't commented here too much, but I think about you every day. I read about what happened to your son, and it really affected me as a stay at home father of a 4 y.o. and a newborn. I really empathize for you. Every night I check to see if you've uploaded a video. It's been a while, I hope you are okay.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

I’m doing ok. I just got a full time job so it has been affecting video making time. I have been painting though. Thank you for keeping me on your mind. I should post a video this week 😊

[@LeesChannel]

@@peaceandpaintbrushes That's good to hear. You've really done an incredible job coping with everything you've been through.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Thank you, I appreciate that. It has definitely been super hard but I’m pushing through. It has definitely affected video making though for sure and for that I apologize.

[@leottart7027]

Very informative! Thank you. :)

[@kookatsoonjan]

You have had to been a teacher at some point, because you have AMAZING teaching skills...thank you sooo much...

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Awe thank you 😊. I’ve taught English to little kids in Taiwan but never been a real teacher before so that makes me so happy to hear. Thanks so much😆

[@kamalitarajagopalan2671]

Have you tried the Jackson pans? And is it worth it to buy their full pans or half pans if the tubes are so affordable?

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

I have not tried their pans but I would say it’s almost always more cost effective to buy the tubes, especially if you will pour them in your own pans/palette and let them dry. But if you don’t know if you like them yet, I’d say try the split primary and whatever other colors you enjoy in pans first and then you can buy tubes to refill. It’s all up to if you think you will enjoy them or not.

[@kookatsoonjan]

Thank you...this was very well done, and I really got a great feel for the 2 brands...Sennelier and Jackson's... seems like you find Sennelier less pigmented...Janis

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

I do but that may be because I have them (Sennelier) in the pans and not the tubes poured into a pallet. But for the price difference and how great Jackson’s are I personally will just stick with them from now on. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Would love to see a flow comparison with Jackson's and Qor ....

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Ooh that would be a good video! Unfortunately I’m in the middle of moving and all my art stuff but a small pallet is packed up. No new videos for a while, sorry. Maybe in the future!!

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

I will tell you tho QoR is different flow all together. All of the colors flow but they do it in a different way than any other paint I’ve ever tried and it gives awesome results, but harder to control.

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Hope to see a comparison in the future...will be watching for it. Just as soon as you said more flow...i had to wonder how it would compare with the Qor I have..dont have Jackson's yet..hoping they ( jacksons) will come out with a square metal palette that holds 18 half pans or 9 full pans like one they ( jacksons) are offering at the moment from schmincke but only to UK shoppers.( boohoo) hope you are settled in soon and do this comparison...thanks..

[@glorioskiola]

Teoh had a tube of Jackson’s that had the Sennelier logo under the paper label.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Yea I saw that video. However when I compare the same pigments they aren’t the same, but also could be tube vs pan. Not absolutely sure what’s going on there. I know they are made by Sennelier but still not sure if exact paints. Also pigment info for color names are different for some 🤷‍♀️

[@huyle2057]

@@peaceandpaintbrushes i think Jackson paint is oem by Sennelier

[@jesusswag4905]

Does the honey in these paints slow down the paint from drying ?

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Not they still dry, they just pull moisture from the air so they stay a lil tacky and are easier to re wet. These were mailed to me in this pallet and did just fine. 😊

[@SuperExadidas]

I have purchased Jacksons watercolor paint in tube, I can say that the the quality of the paint is not even worth to try, because it has a lot of binder - out of 12 colors 8 of them are not usable. Especially Cerulean and Quinacridon Gold

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Hmmm.. mine were given to be by a fellow painter so I’m not sure about any of that. That stinks tho, sorry you are dealing with that.
