I know it’s been a while since you published this video but it has been such an important reference for me when buying this set! It gave me a very good look into the colors and cleared my confusions about some of them (Viridian, Cerulean Blue, etc). I’m back here after buying it and I’m super grateful to you for sharing this with all of us and for doing what you’re doing ❤ I’d love it if you made an updated review on the set and how it’s been like for you. Have you found any favorites? Or perhaps you’ve favorited other sets over this one? Thank you~ 😊

[@user-fp4rk2bj8r]

That was a nice way to end the day - the cobalt green deep is my favourite too 😊

[@helencryer]

Thank you! It's soooo lovely!

[@scottcullen2832]

Helen can you show off that impressive swatch book might stop be buying all the art supplies 😂😂😂❤️❤️

[@helencryer]

I actually need to re-do it - it's a bit out of date and with things in the wrong places now! I'll show the shiny new version!

[@thefrostedblueberryart]

That rose madder had me swooning as soon as I saw it dry on your paper 😍

[@helencryer]

It really impressed me too, and I'm not even keen on reds!

I have been using my Mijello Mission Gold 36 tube set (it came with a big palette) for over a year now. I love the vibrancy and clarity of the colours and they mix well with each other (wet on the palette). They are my go to studio paints and I love the range of colours in the set. I wish I had gotten to know them a lot better before I bought other colours just because they looked beautiful on screen. After I got the paints I realised that my Mijello set already has the colours or colours extremely close, just called by a different name! E.g. Dragons Blood by Maimeri is very close to Mijello’s Red Brown. Roman Szmal’s Perm Aliz Crimson is the same pigment as Mijello’s Rose Madder, and Roman Szmal’s Green Gold is also super close to Mijello’s Greenish Yellow (only 1 of 3 pigments in both is different). I could have saved some money if I’ve done a pigment comparison before buying new paints.😊

[@helencryer]

That's great to hear you enjoy them! Yes - the names of paints aren't a particularly reliable way to go!!

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

Such a wonderful video! Thank You for sharing! And yes, comparing the pigment info to what you already have is incredibly uselfull! I appreciate you!

[@helencryer]

Thanks so much! I'm so glad!!

[@bleuvertetforetdepin7308]

So many youtuber's have reviewed this set , had really nice things to say about it yet i've haven't seen any actually integrate more then one tube in their everyday palette . wich is kind of a red flag for me . the few that have actualy completed a piece with it stated they're so pigmented and bright that it's hard to achieve realism with it . even though in Europe the set is twice the american price , i still wonder if it's worth it or not for me , i guess i'll have to try for myself . sorry i'm kinda "thinking out loud " here . thank you for the video , i hope you'll have loads of fun in your home pigments mixing adventure .

[@helencryer]

No, that's great - I really appreciate your thoughts! Primarily these are for mixing, including with other paints I already own, so I don't really have the intention of using them as is. I'll definitely share any paintings I do with them. I've come up with some stunning mixes so far.

[@bleuvertetforetdepin7308]

@@helencryer i'm looking forward to it . 😀

[@nisamorin2519]

These colours are really beautiful.😍 Especially permanent yellow ones and both of the orange ones ... Enjoy the weekend, dear Helen! 🐬🌻

[@helencryer]

Thanks so much! You too!

[@ChantelleArts]

Wow this looks like such an amazing set 😍

[@skyfall2430]

hi dear! i've been watching your videos for weeks since i discovered your channel. They're amazing!! I love all the content you create. May i suggest, can you do a video about art books? I really loved your contemporary landscapes book and your mixed media landscapes book. They seem very inspiring for me and I'm thinking of buying them. I've never seen them anywhere else other then in your videos. Thank you for your beautiful content! ❤

[@helencryer]

Thank you so so much!! Yes, I'd be happy to do some book videos. I'll try and figure out a way to group a few together each time.

[@julieannestaub1502]

Love your peaceful videos that are super helpful! Love these vibrant colors!

[@helencryer]

Thanks so much!

[@E4Alabbasy]

I love mijello paint 🥰🥰 they are trylt vibrant so it's nice to have a single pigmen set to play and create your own mixes, and I adore their cobalt turquoise 😍

[@helencryer]

I've been playing with them some more tonight, and definitely enjoying them!

[@susanavenir]

Found this enthralling. I've been drawn to Mijello because of its vibrancy, but have been somehow suspicious of the brand. (What does that even mean? That I suspect in the dark of night Mijello will threaten my Roman Szmal with palette knives until he hands over all his pans??) This set might just become my Christmas present to me. Now to learn to swatch dreamy colored moons like yours! Your swatches so often have a 3D effect that eludes me.

[@helencryer]

Haha! Love your comment as always! Those dodgy Mijellos... I've been playing with them more this evening, and after being interested to hear that some people think they're *too* vibrant and unnatural, I really enjoyed them, and so far have done a quite muted, subtle landscape.

[@teekierudite5108]

Lovely video, waiting to see how you mix the colors together and what the results are. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@helencryer]

Hello!! Thank you!

[@FaithAnnNB]

Loved the swatching session, found it very useful since I have this set also. It was my last purchase in 2022 before my low-buy began and I haven’t gotten around to playing with them yet. I think when I purchased them, they were $120 Cdn before tax and I was pretty pleased to get them for that price. Looking forward to your colour mixing session!

[@helencryer]

I don't know how you have the restraint not to play with new stuff!!!! I've been having fun with the mixing - have three colours I reaaaalllly like so far...

[@Reeflections]

I love the Mission Gold paints~ as a beginner I feel like I have more control of the pigments~ I love the colors of this set! ❤️✝️🙏🏻

[@helencryer]

That's great! I'm really loving them too.

[@marymccaslin1690]

I bought this set and now see I haven’t done my due diligence in swatching properly. I thank you for this very much!

[@helencryer]

I hope you enjoy getting stuck into them a bit more!

The bamboo green surprised me! Not what I’d think bamboo colour would be like. Hello fro, Australia!

Hello from the other side of the world!!

[@juliebromfield1865]

Nice 😃

[@valeriegehling4358]

I like colour too, but, don’t really know what to do with it except enjoy & wallow in them. Doesn’t necessarily make me an artist, I also like paper, pencils & all arty crafty things. Like your swatches. I looked at M. palette of paints, a lot cheaper than your set. Thanks

[@helencryer]

As long as you're enjoying them!! I'm not sure what 'M. palette of paints' means, sorry!

[@valeriegehling4358]

@@helencryer Sorry M= name of your paint set. As I’m not computer literate I couldn’t go back to your video to see their proper name but, it began with M.

Ah, sorry! I was being a bit slow!

I bought the whole set after all the hype and wish I had not done so. In my opinion these paints are student grade.

[@helencryer]

Oh that's interesting! I haven't heard any of the hype, so didn't really know what to expect. In what ways do you feel like they're student grade?

[@Lauraisabelgonzalezart]

I'd love to know too! Please share what about them you found student grade?
