I love ❤️ love ❤️ love ❤️ this set of pure pigment paints. I replaced their burnt sienna and yellow ochre with Daniel Smith only because I like and know them well. I also threw in Payne's Grey and Mineral Violet from M Graham and Quin Gold and Potters Pink from Schmincke. I have them all in the bulletproof palette from Mijello which I also love.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

I can't believe how good these are. I've had them about 2 months now and I don't wanna give away the full review but i love them ! I've completed 2 paintings with them so far . I will be adding M grahams sap green to this set once I'm done with the review ( only wanna stick with mission golds for the demo ) . I will say I struggle with mixing natural greens since everything is so vibrant and it's hard to mix mud . These would be great for painting glass or other vibrant , transparent subjects . I'm thinking of getting a second set as a back up but I have so much paint to go through I feel greedy lol .

@@nicolemartinart5819 you can add red brown to your green mixture to make it more natural.

I like the way that you have compared to your past swatches!

Thank you !

Hi, i just started watercolour painting for about a year. I use Winsor and Newton Cotman when i first started, then i switched to Daniel Smith (which i love). I paint florals and after watching your vidoes on Mijello watercolours, i plan to buy them. I did some price comparison and found Mijello very affordable, compared to Daniel Smith. Do these Mijello pure pigment colours work well with florals? Thank you.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

Hi there 👋 Excellent question. Yes I think they would be great for floral paintings but I do advise that you practice with them first before jumping right in on a full painting. Only because these watercolors are extremely pigmented, more so than Daniel Smith, and they have very vibrant colors. If you like to work in more pastel tones and light florals, you may find it a bit challenging to control the pigment load at first. Just remember to use a light touch and they will last you practically forever. Good luck 😊

Mission Gold doesn’t use ox gall in their paints which explains the lack of flow.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

I agree with you, I like adding synthetic ox gall for certain effects but in general, it's nice to have a lower flow paint for detailed work. I'm glad it's different from other paints I already own. It makes them unique in my collection. I love these paints. If I had to rate them, 9 out of 10 stars.

I love this set.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

So do I 💖

[@Sevvin89]

Dioxide purple is my favorite.

[@Nectarine998]

I just got the 34 set, so not pure pigment but it was fine for me. I noticed the paints don't really fully dry. Have you noticed a similar thing with these?

[@nicolemartinart5819]

Yes. That is because these are a honey-based paint. Meaning that the formulation contains honey. Honey is a humectant that will grab the moisture from the air and hold it into your pants so that they remain in a semi moist state. Personally I like this quality about a paint because it's definitely gentler on your brushes since the paint just melts under the touch of a damp brush and it's much easier to get larger quantities of paint from your dried color . However , that information was not listed in the brochures or marketing material that came with the paint ( or anywhere on the box ) so I was unaware of that at the time of filming. I do wish that they had listed that somewhere on the package , because while I love a paint that contains honey not everybody does. Especially if you live in a very humid climate like Singapore for example or if you like to take your paints out plein Air with you. These don't travel well in my opinion because of the honey content they won't fully set for a long time .... if ever. But they are a wonderful studio option.

[@juliab.8200]

I have heard that Mission Gold are bad to activate once dried in the pan. Is this right?

[@nicolemartinart5819]

No. Not at all. They rewet like a dream because of the honey 😊

[@parleymanderson7527]

Woah, look at that pg7. Is it just my screen or MS Pg7 is bluer than other version ? Btw, MS PY150 turns slightly green over time ( other PY150 don’t have this problem) .

[@nicolemartinart5819]

Thanks so much for that information about the py150 .I love these watercolors . I think the pg7 by mission Gold is beautiful. It is a phthalo green blue shade so naturally it is blue leaning . I've since completed 2 paintings with these in realism and I'm ready to give my full review. Spoiler alert ! They are fabulous and worth every penny ☺️

That set is $61.80 on Amazon. Jerry’s is 99% out of stock on individual colors.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

Yea and remember when blick used to carry the whole line as well ? Not sure what changed . Jerry's is expecting new stock of mission gold early next year though . I wonder if the prices will increase on amazon then. This set used to be on blick for close to $400 . Either way I'm really glad I got mine . I was considering getting a back up set since watercolor really never goes bad . But I have so much paint I don't really need it .

[@suel4269]

@@nicolemartinart5819 I don’t have any Mission gold paints, mostly Winsor , Daniel Smith , Qor, Davinci.

[@nicolemartinart5819]

@@suel4269 those are all great brands . I love Daniel smith And I think there paints would be easier to control for most people. And the colors are a bit more natural. These are so vibrant and pigmented I did find it challenging to mix natural looking greens.

I pour mine In my Palette A week and 1⁄2 ago And all of the paints to you wet Like I'm not kidding very very wet So they do take a long time To dry Just like m graham

[@hippopotamusbosch]

Roxy, are the pans cured yet? I just poured mine today and would like to take the paints for a spin some time before I die of old age.

[@roxym.3933]

@@hippopotamusbosch not yet and i can’t belive it is winter here in us and they still very very wet … only the firs 4 pigments are getting bit hard … the first 3 yellows and the orange

[@roxym.3933]

[@ohsfer11820]

$60 😱 wow

[@nicolemartinart5819]

It's an incredible price for a pure pigment set with genuine quinacridones, phthalos, cobalts and umbers . I highly recommend 🙂 .

[@ohsfer11820]

@@nicolemartinart5819 Thank you for the info. Been wanting to purchase that set for the longest time

[@alexandriatownsend119]

There are 24 pure pigments, imagine the mixes you could create. Also, unlike everyone else, Mijello provided 24, 15ml tubes. It's a steal. I was initially looking into Paul Ruben's Artist Watercolors until I realized that it is $60.00 for 24, 5ml tubes. This is a splurge for me, I need this set to last me awhile. After all the research I did Mijello could hire me on as a spokesperson😂😂😂

[@nicolemartinart5819]

@@alexandriatownsend119 you're right 👍 this set is a steal ! Amazing value . They also have a 36 pure pigment set but the price jumps significantly. I hope you enjoy these paints ! My full review will be up Sunday 🙂

[@alexandriatownsend119]

@@nicolemartinart5819 I just got them, yesterday! Oh my goodness!! So pretty and pigmented. I even got some granulation. I don't think I did a magnificent job with my swatches, but I certainly had fun. Can't wait to fill the porcelain 🎨. I am so happy that I found something that is both economical and quality. These are my first professional watercolor paints, yes I am still learning but I consider these to be a sound investment. I also invested in some 100% cotton watercolor blocks. I went with New York City Art Supply, an it was only a couple of dollars more than the Canson XL cellulose pads. The difference is night and day. I still plan to use up my cellulose pads with the rest of my Cotman paints though. Waste not want not!
