Glad to know, liquid not always have same pigment with tubes and pans. I'm going to cry in corner if i realize the color of my painting changed 😅 a lightfast is important!! 😓

[@Makoccino]

Yeah I think you really need to look into lightfast liquid paint if you want to use them. I'm not on expert on that but it seems really confusing so far! The standard watercolors are much easier to decipher what quality they are!

[@Lacroix999]

bacon I have read that Daniel Smith watercolors are some of the best on the market and the reviews I have seen on them say they are totally worth it. I haven’t actually used them yet myself or the other brands so can vouch for them, but that’s just what I read when I was doing my research on them.

I have a good tip for cleaning your brushes thoroughly: Swirl it in your water container in a figure "8" manner. This helps clean it in a few seconds and ensures that no paint is left on your brush. #makoficationsquad ❤️

[@thebisyest]

That transitions and the swatch and mixing of green and yellow with red with water was sooo mesmerising. Great and educational content Mako. Keep it up, best of luck 👍

Thank you!!

[@adamsfun9589]

Oil pastels use it

[@mariannelepley2881]

Hi. Good information, but I think you did a disservice to liquid watercolors. Not all are die based and will fade. Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus watercolors are pigment based and lightfast archival. You originally mentioned dye and pigment based, but in the end you basically recommended that people not consider liquids because the painting won't last. I personally own a set of 12 and I have verified that each one is pigment and light fast. I'm sure cheaper brands are dye based, but if people are willing to pay for a quality product, they can find one.

[@Makoccino]

Good point! I didn't mean to make liquid watercolors look bad, just wanted to make people aware of the dye based version as they are pretty popular lately and wanted people to be careful! People who might be new to watercolors would probably not even think of that! I think in my head I thought people would automatically think going for the pigment based versions 🙈

[@cris_ad]

I love my two Hydrus sets! The liquid watercolor makes it easy to put down a nice even layer of color that I can work off of. The staining doesn't bother me because I don't do a lot of picking up and I like to glaze for days, and I use gouache or white acrylic ink if I need something lighter. It can be inconvenient to use the bottles. It took me a bit to get used to, but so far I'm happy with the results. I think a lot of watercolorists/"purists" might avoid them because you do have to use different techniques, and if you don't use gouache, you definitely have to be a lot more careful with controlling waterflow. I wish more people would give the liquid watercolors a chance, to be honest.

[@cris_ad]

And yes they're awesome for illustration and mixed media!

[@ah3169]

I use them and they are great! Light fast colour and highly pigmented. Highly recommend Dr Ph Martin hydrus liquid watercolour.

I’ve personally always found pan wc or dried tube wc incredibly frustrating due to how pale and flaccid they can be, you can get a set of (student grade) tube watercolors that’ll last you for years and work well for quite a reasonable price online. Thanks for clarifying this Mako, that liquid wc segment was particularly enlightening

[@lifeismusicparnadonkers]

I,ve ordered the watercolour in tubes. I also got a large pallet whit pans you can get out off the pallet. I love you,re paintings and video,s witch helped me and other people allot. So Thank you so mutch for making art and taking the time for us. So Thank You from the bodem of my heart.

[@sofia1881js]

Lovely~ I actually started out with watercolors in tubes. That was only because my mom accidentally bought it hehe At first I didn’t even know what it was, I just used it on my canvas as I would with acrylics. I’m still very bad at watercolors, and I’m thinking of buying some higher quality ones to help me out. Thanks for the video!

Or if you want to go the opposite way and try lower quality, Dollar Tree has a set of 8 pans....... wait do you still call them pans if they are shaped like Mickey Mouse's head??

[@sofia1881js]

olderthandadirt Lmaoo, I think so hehe I do own a low quality gouache palette tho, and it works fine. I still just feel like I would be more confident in my art if I get some higher quality paper and colors. I’ve tried improving with what I have, but because of the bad looking outcome you get even after just applying a single layer of color, it’s hard. Thanks for the advice tho lmaooo

[@kimscott4973]

This was very helpful. I had started with liquids only, then bought pan sets for ease. But now it seems that most tutorials are showing tubes. None of my various sets had all the colors that a certain teacher was using for a series. So I began to wonder if it works at all to use pans/tube/liquid on one painting.?? The level of wetness and dryness is so important in watercolor painting that it seems that the amount of water in your paint to begin with must matter. As I painted last night, the application of various liquid colors onto already wetted paper became a puddly mess. Your comment about the liquids staining the paper and therefore not ‘lifting’ was so encouraging. For the longest time I have just not understood why i can never lift nicely like the videos show. Thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@bi_saster]

I love that you just started the video without talking about it as long as other yters 💓💓😍

[@Makoccino]

aww

[@littlefluffycloud6936]

I used to always stay away from watercolors because they were so hard for me to work with. Now because of your videos watercolors are my favorite medium! Your tutorials are really different from other youtubers cause your are easy to follow and you are specific and give useful tips. You should be proud that you are inspiring many young art students like myself. You have definitely impacted many lives❤️

[@Makoccino]

Awww ❤

[@melaniep.]

I like to use the pans and tubes. Usually depending on the size or specific painting I'm going for. If it's a good sized background, I'll use the tubes for that part then for details I'll maybe use the pans but I prefer using the pans when I'm doing something quick and smaller like a post card size piece. Never tried the liquid kind though. Great video show casing the difference!!

[@Makoccino]

Thank you so much!

[@TheClauMiau]

Yeah I am the same!

[@Loracanne]

I love to use Watercolour pencils 😊 Especially on the go- you can work on a piece, then when you get home you can start adding your water and brushstrokes.

[@chips6042]

I was given watercolor tubes as a present and I am glad that now I know how to use it 😍😍😍😍

[@joiedefi]

Hugely helpful. I've started using White Nights watercolour pans in my junk and art journals...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it, but I really need this kind of advice. The magic of paint on paper is dramatic and a boost for the layering and journaling that follows. I'll be back to hear more!! Joie ❣️😁🌿

[@MookyLovexx]

This video is fantastic! I gotta throw out a bit of a warning though. You mentioned creating your own palettes by drying out some watercolour from the tubes, which is my favourite thing about the tubes. Being able to mix your own colours in larger volumes is amazing! However, not all types/brands of watercolour tubes act like panned watercolours. Some can dry out strange, they separate, they become very chalky and difficult to reactivate. Some will crack and crumble. It's disappointing as hell when your colour is finally dry but then doesn't behave the way you want/need it to when rehydrating. I know this video isn't exactly recent but I thought this lil' bit of info was a necessary addition. Also relevant for anyone looking into the lovely realm of watercolor artistry, who watch this video for tips because its excellent, to save my fellow creatives the disappointment of going ham making a custom palette only to experience the scenarios listed above. Test out a few, see how they behave, then live out your best custom-palette making dreams. TL;DR Some water colour tubes dry and rehydrate differently. do a few little tests first before drying out a bunch. Positive vibes to everyone. xox

[@katk8743]

I watch lots of watercolour stuff on KZbin because that's what I paint with most of the time, but you're the only person I watch consistantly no matter what type of art you do. I'd love another video on acrylic pouring. That was SO cool! 😊❤

I love watercolor tubes and buy them when I can. Though I love the metal tins you can get from online stores like Amazon or blick and pouring into pans, then organizing them how I want. There's something so fun and almost meditative about the whole process. Then it's exciting to use once it's set up.

So thankful for this video. I was about to buy a dry watercolor paint set but I didn't know they were less economical than tubes. So far tubes are the most attractive to me since you can just squirt it out onto your brush like toothpaste and it creates less of a mess. I'm glad I waited

[@leolyon5272]

Wait Wait! How about markers and pencil water colours? Are they the same?

[@freyaaldrnari6086]

I've wondered about pencil water colours, too.

[@shirecchia5630]

Pencils are similar for me to pan colors because you can put a wet brush to them like a pan to get ink off the pencil, but when put on paper I've found that they can add texture (especially the cheap ones without as much color in the formula), but they can be easier to get even mixed by layering like normal colored pencil. Never used markers cause I just learned they're a thing lol

Future ref notes for me: (basically a summary of whole vid) They can all can be bought in a set or individually Water colors in pans: -made of pigments, binders, additives -come in cans: half pans and full pans -to activate paint, add a bit of water (maybe spray with spray bottle) -you can paint with it the way it is or change the intensity of it on the palette by adding water -it can take a long time to get to the right color -easier to avoid waste since everything is in the palette -you need to be gentle on the brushes or they might get ruined -they contain a lot less paint than the others but you can refill them by adding tube watercolors and letting them dry -fast, simple to use and easy to store (good for travel) Water color in tubes: -cream like form -made of pigments, binders, and additives -can contain from 5ml to 37ml -have to buy palette separately (w/ wells and a mixing area) -can be used to make custom palette -the more water you add, the light it becomes -dissolves really easily in water -much easier to adjust the paint -easier to use maximum color intensity -good for bigger pieces -you might end up with excess paint (you can reactivate dried paint with water but how well it works depends on brand) -sold in larger quantities (cheaper in the long run tho) Liquid water colors: -pigment or dye based -lids have pipe heads (easy to distribute liquid) -don't need to add water (immediately start painting) -good for illustrations and pen lettering -need to buy mixing palette - easy to avoid waste (simply pour back into bottle using pipe head) -you can create duller colors by mixing since they usually are very vibrant -not real watercolors since they're dye based -fade over time -stain the paper which prevents use of watercolor techniques such as lifting -completely transparent -not travel friendly unless you keep them in an aqua brush which you can use for lettering or sketching Her opinion on each: Water colors in pans- Great for beginners Water colors in tubes- intermediate, use when you're much more into watercolor, or as refills Liquid water colors- not recommended unless you do lettering since it fades over time
