Do you prefer tube or pan watercolors?? Personally I find pans more convenient but QoR (my favorite watercolors) come in tubes!

[@Rae4real1]

I like panned watercolors

[@slayingartist2514]

I love pan watercolors qwq their very easy to Travel with UwU

[@strawbysoup2337]

Kasey Golden usually pan

[@gacha-sisters7632]

Hhh idk qwq I don't use watercolor a lot

[@katlynnhicks1514]

Panned

[@jalerisun5831]

Honestly once you use professional quality watercolors, its hard to go back lol

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Right? Haha. We're spoiled!

[@avikasixfour2362]

So true, I hated watercolours till I got good quality ones for my bday 6 years ago. Now they are my fav medium, and when I forgot to take them on some vacation I went to local stores but couldn't find art store. So I bought some higher quality school set for funz, but it wasnt fun, lack of ability to layer, colours washing eachother off and creating mud. I rather pay this euro for tiniest little square of paint rather than have those cheap liquid chalks

[@goodeducationgoodlife1370]

@bacon get what you think is best 😌

[@imbored4929]

bacon I’d get white nights. I just got a set for my bday and they are the best watercolors I have ever used. Ever

[@lea8721]

bacon I have the Paul Ruebens, and I absolutely adore them

[@angy3876]

For some unknown reason, I thought that you were comparing 1 dollar water colors vs 100 dollar watercolors

[@ThatSocialMoth]

Okay but would totally watch that video though

I definitely wasn't expecting the pans to be better than the tubes! I prefer the pan colours too, as you can always water them down. Also, they don't seem to have that chalky finish and you'd think if that was going to happen, the pans would be more chalky. This test really demonstrates how much paper quality matters and can even make dollar store paints look acceptable.

[@iceygacha822]

I prefer water color pencils

[@garb8933]

CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE HOW MUCH KASEY IS UPLOADING??

[@KaseyTheGolden]

Don't get used to it. Once Animal Crossing comes out I'll probably disappear for a month. 😂

Kasey Golden AA YOU REPLIED❤️❤️ but honestly same

[@beckyanderson988]

@@KaseyTheGolden how is your layering so beautiful i struggle with layering water color

[@mezPNG]

Of course the PANS would be better than the TUBES! You got them from JaPAN Not JaTUBE 🙂

[@mezPNG]

Though personally, I do like the softness of the tube painting.

Obligatory "omg Kasey drew fanart (that isn't pokemon)" comment Also really surprised how nice the pans were!? The colors were so lovely and fit animal crossing vibes perfectly, I hope you do more.

[@KaseyTheGolden]

There MIGHT be some Animal Crossing content coming soon...!

[@sickfork]

aw man i bet you already have 5 stars xd

[@megsnets]

I know that sometimes when you use your posca pens you have issues with the paper ripping, so maybe you could try acrylic paper. I have found that it is much more durable. Love your videos!

[@katchatt9827]

"I don't know why, but I do." Everyone on every test ever.

you should definitely try to draw random animal crossing characters out of memory! loved the vid 💕

Can I just say that you inspire me so much? Your channel was what originally got me into watercolor, and I am so grateful. I love your channel.

[@panicnymph2783]

OMG I WASN'T EXPECTING ANIMAL CROSSING CONTENT IN THIS VIDEO! but my obsessive ass is happy about that 😍

[@PufferPatchesVODS]

You know since you're in Japan, I think the Ghibli museum has a set of Watercolors in their gift shop. It'd be cool to see you test that put!

[@RM-in7kh]

I like the texture of the pan watercolors more. But I gotta admit, the illustration made with the tube ones, looks so much better. I don’t know why. It has more emotion in it

[@LindaThao]

Pan watercolors are just soooo convenient, but dang I’m impressed from those $1 watercolors!! 💞💞

[@VodkaMutini413]

I can't speak for the application but I really liked how the tubes turned out in the end. All in all it was an adorable artwork. I love Animal Crossing😊

[@dawnmariereyes3734]

I can tell how inspired you are just being in Japan. There is a lighter, happier feel from your videos! And I can see your brain is just excited to try and do new things! I love it!! Bunny is adorable!! Love this!!

[@SmilyLily1996]

Fun fact about watercolours: There are a few different terms for them in German. There are "Wasserfarben" which just means water colour. A bit of an umbrella term and the closest translation. But then we have the word Aquarelle and Deckfarben. The first is typically the more high quality, transparent water colours, like winsor & newton sells etc. The second literally means something like "covering colours". It's the cheaper water colours that are really not that transparent. They're chalky(as in, literally often contain chalk as a filler), they can actually cover each other and at least here are often sold with a tube of white paint that resembles gouache. Children often use those chalkier paints in school, but artists rarely use them. They are hard to control, way more splotchy, the colour just kind of sits ontop of the paper, rather than being at least in part being absorbed by the paper. It's easier to distinguish paints this way, but you can often see it by looking at pan watercolours. If the pans already look matte and a bit like a chalk hockey puck, it's the chalky stuff, the better kind typically has a slightly shiny surface and the pan looks darker than the colour that ends up on the page.

[@jaaaime]

honestly, i really like how the tube watercolor painting turned out probably just bc of the facial expression + i like subtle tones but i really like that one! the pan painting is super cute too 😭✨

[@ShamelesslyCreative]

I really loved this cute artwork today and that it was made with dollar paints! I definitely like the pan set colors out of the two.... the plaid shirt too cute and his bucky teeth!!!

[@lionlessart]

I like the texture of the tubes, it looks a bit fuzzy, but the vibrancy and crispness of the pans is hard to beat.

[@sammiebelle6424]

Oh my god. Im sitting in the dark 4 am in the morning half asleep and never watched one of your videos before. Needless to say im fully awake now because I thought the little character running on the screen in the beginning was a bug.

[@coverspadeavacado381]

I hope you get some rest. Thank you for stopping in on this fandom, but sleep is important deer. Signed , Your friendly fandom hufflepuff.

[@gabbyk114]

just goes to show that pricey art supplies don’t make you a good artist but time dedication and practice do 😊 keep up with the awesome videos 💕❤️

[@m_trxx204]

Your artwork is better than what I could do with professional colors

[@stablercakeplays]

I had the plastic ones as a kid, they just are an indicator of a cheaper watercolor! It was weird nostalgia to see them be pulled out of the box!

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

I had similar water colors to the tubed ones as a kid in the US. It came in one of those cheap kids art sets. They were awesome.

[@naenae602]

Watching kasey draw and paint is my therapy

[@crystaldawn2708]

OOOH this was such a good video. Would you consider doing some more of the AC characters you have from the -kinder- chocolate eggs? Also also, kind of blown away at how much more vibrant the pans were. I fully expected those results from the tubes!

[@mjpete27]

Most professional paints come in tubes. The best (opinions will always vary) pans are “poured” from the same mixture. QoR are a bit to hard to control some people like that about them. I know Windsor & Newton has separate recipes but I gotta say I never liked them much, in either form! I hope your enjoying your time in Japan, How are the book ideas going?? Nudge, Nudge! Take care and enjoy!

[@mintymarinara]

In all honesty I wasn't really surprised by the pan watercolors. I have a similar watercolor pan set that I bought a year ago from Daiso (Japanese Dollar Store) and they work beautifully. Little to no chalkiness, bright and earthy colors, and good layering and mixing. Only downside I have is the plastic palette it comes in started falling apart after a few trips outside, but still not bad for the price. I also agree that the brushes in Japanese dollar stores are pretty good quality, especially if you're a beginner. Love your review Kasey! 😊🎨❤

[@euphxriiavlogs_1316]

If i have to be honest...i love the tube and pan watercolors (or both) Cause im amazed by how proffesionals use them..i have no ideo how to explain it but... When professional asrtist use those *chefs kiss* Perfect

[@rachelthompson7487]

I love your watercolor painting! 😁

[@corihederich4817]

I didn’t even know that you could get $1 watercolors!!! Great and fun painting.love this bunny character 👍👍🎉🎉

[@angelicadiabolus]

Huh that’s strange, the dollar store watercolour tubes I used are different and more vibrant actually. They’re also kinda easier to use. Maybe it has something to do with brand? I got mine from Daiso instead of Seria, maybe that’s why.

[@karolcia1905]

Kasey, what if you did a drawing out of various sodas.

[@farexe1797]

Honestly, I have some pretty good tube watercolors, though every now and then I get in the mood to use the pan ones that I got from the kids arts and crafts section at Walmart 😅 they just give a certain vibe that I like

[@CreatingwithWinglessAngel]

I think they both looked cute. But I think with pan you can control the hue better with less water.

[@LizaGrace97]

Plastic is a porous material so it's definitely because of cheaper quality and can lead to it drying out or the plastic cracking and wasting paint so I wouldn't keep those long term but it seems really fun to experiment with

[@natmik7983]

I like the pan watercolors more than the tube but I like the shock rabbit more because it looks really cute!!!!!!

[@gertskook]

The tubes in my opinion leave a grains where as the pans leave a flat smooth color. I like the pans since I’m more of a flat smooth color than a grainy texture. Though it changes depending on my mood lol

[@rachelpeterson3562]

you can turn tubes into pans by squirting out the paint from the tube and drying out the paint overnight, then it works like pan watercolors!

[@lalay376]

I don't know why, but when you were testing them, I preferred the pan. For the drawing? I preferred the tubes. Maybe I'm just weird...

[@kiminimuchu__]

Personally I like the final result with the tubes quite a lot more actually. The illustration is adorable either way though.

[@lucy..creighton]

I actually think the tubes look better then the pan from above but from the side view the pans look wayyy better

I like both, the tube paint gave off a cartoon vib, and the pan gave off a more subtle vib. Ya know?
