I'm from St. Petersburg, but I've moved away 3 years ago, so now using them and seeing other people using them just gives me hardcore nostalgia. Your artwork is lovely, I love your color scheme especially.

[@RyeMiArt]

White nights were my first 'better' watercolors and I love them to pieces. I did buy exactly the set you have and since then filled it with other white nights colors. I do have other palettes but this one is still my favorite one. Also, love the panting you did today!

[@hambot]

Thank you so much! Also I feel the exact same way about mine! They were also my first professional paints and I've tried different brands now but white nights are still my favorite

[@someonesomewhere1100]

I love my Paul Rubens set so much that I ordered their neon paints and they're beautiful 😍 perfect to mix into my regular watercolors to add extra vibrancy

[@hambot]

Neon watercolors!! I have to check those out

@DJ Pauly D aaand?

[@hambot]

This painting is for sale! It’s only available for the Philippines for now because shipping cost outside is too high. But if anyone’s interested, my email is in the description

[@berika6]

I love White Nights’ yellow ochre and raw sienna. Have them both in my palette even though they’re similar. Their phalto colors are definitely related to devil. Can’t remember on the top of my head but I don’t think violet is completely lightfast, I’ve never tried that one. Anyway Can’t wait for the premiere. Love your art and videos!

[@chlxe2434]

Hello po! Ateh are you pilipino po? Or do you know where I can supplies from??? I wanted to try gouache but I don't know where to buy po and what to buy :(( if you see this po, if you have time po or gusto niyo po sumagot. Please tell me po :DD

[@bellavandermeij5089]

You are so underrated omg! Your artwork is amazing and definitely deserves more attention in the art community.

[@hambot]

🤧 thank you so much Bella!

[@lauragrace5622]

I LOVE your painting! You inspire me to keep working at my watercolours :) I really like your techniques, especially the different coloured pencils in the hair for detail. Love it. I also love how much story is in your piece! She looks like she's had a long day and is plunking down to think about someone or something that she dislikes? It's awesome. I love it! Keep up the amazingness :)

[@anne-marieolivier8318]

I opened my set this weekend. Very vibrant and lovely. Just not impressed with the earth colours. Kind of chalky/low pigment load.

[@hambot]

I was surprised by how weak some of the colors were too! Especially yellow ochre

[@FinalDestination_3]

​@@hambot me too! I usually use my set, and I have problems with yellow ochre.

[@warshysjournal156]

I’ve wanted to buy this one! Can’t wait for the video 😁

[@hambot]

Theyre so good!

[@RonArtchives]

I'm always in love with you're works

[@susanavenir]

Your work is exquisite and it's fascinating to watch your technique. Thank you for making videos!

[@shumaarts4219]

Your videos are so relaxing! Love the colours 💕

[@hambot]

Thank you so much!

[@Jazira13]

Beautiful! love the final piece! My favorite watercolors are Winsor & Newton and M. Graham. The first for the quality and performance, the second for the gorgeous colors and super awesome granulation.

[@hambot]

Great choices Jazmin! I've heard that the M. Graham doesn't dry that well? Is that true?

[@blancjadis8779]

This is just me; I think pigments from brands like Daniel Smith, Holbein, and Schminke are more vibrant, but what I like about White Nights are 1) The palette cases are well-designed and made of nice materials (plastic or tin compared to those containing W&N, DS, etc; like this case in particular I'm comfortale using whether plain or with the extra mixing plate), and 2) most colors, though not so vibrant in swatching as you said.... seem to lay down with better control, and 3) WN combinations (not mixed with other brands) seem to have a certain cohesion when dry that I don't often get with other brands. (It's like I mix less and it just works?)

[@Linesnstrokes]

Amazing😍😍 loved the combination of colors you used❤❤

[@hambot]

Thank you so much!!

[@lidsferreira]

your art is amazing!! my fave watercolor brand for now is lukas and van gogh, but I would love to try white nights, it looks really good

[@hambot]

Lukas? I've never tried them! I wonder if i can find them here in the Philippines

[@NinaArtLife]

Amazing painting, love it❤️

[@hambot]

Thank you Nina!!

[@lidyapermatasari911]

hello, I'm a new subscriber from Indonesia! Your painting process and the painting itself are beyond gorgeous! Can't wait to buy this White Nights watercolor for myself

[@josephthearchangel7018]

Really loving my sonnet(white nights student brand) and my meiliang watercolors. But I also got 1 color from holbein and shinhan. The one from holbein being an opaque light blue while the shinhan one is a dark and saturated indigo. I love all of them and thinking of expanding my watercolors with buying a mijello 24 pure set

[@hambot]

Those are all really good choices! Sonnet is very popular here too. Mijello especially is amazing

[@josephthearchangel7018]

@@hambot yess the mijello is really exciting!! I wanted to buy one cuz i watched your unboxing😅 i really love your art and videos!! Love from indonesia

[@hannahsart7792]

I love the colors and linework!

[@foofyastralpunk5875]

Daniel Smith and Schmincke are my current favorite watercolors. I have the White Nights Pastel coloured watercolor set, which I like. However they seem to be less concentrated, I used up a big divot out of each pan finishing a small size painting. They are very opaque and dry with a mat finish that reminds me of gouache.

[@veyriuss.4792]

Yesssss!!! I knew I couldn’t be the only one with a problem with that yellow ochre lol. Exactly the same issue with me, I really need to dig into the pan and it would still be streaky, which is a shame since I like using it. You’ll have an easier time if you mist it first before painting hehe. I’ll experiment with that color scheme din nga XD so pretty! I’m kind of biased since I’ve only ever tried a couple of watercolor brands, but I love my White Nights too! That, and my Paul Rubens. I think I might also enjoy Mijello, but still haven’t tried them out. As always, your works are 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 alsoooo!!! I’ve been putting the Miya gouache to good use haha! Slowly getting accustomed to mixing the proper ratios, and your gouache vids have been super helpful 🖤 keep the content coming ate Ham. Your stuff is amaZZINGGGGG

[@tazkiasalsabila5367]

I really love this brand, but I do have an issue with certain color. I bought and collect individual pans from one of the local art store in my country. I think the latest pan I got was shaknaz red, and the first time I swatched it, the color was really light and not vibrant. The surface of the paint was also kinda slick I guess? I couldn't see any pigment on the tip of my brush when I dipped it into the pan. So I checked the pan and found out that there was kind of "layer" from hardened pigment (I'm not really sure, but after I crushed it, it became "normal"). The pigment was just covered but I don't know why this happened. I dont't think it was a big problem, but it did make me a bit uncomfortable. I've watched vidoes on youtube reviewing this brand and some people said they don't really like it. But in my opinion, this brand offers one of the best quality (not considering the problem I found lol). The paint is vibrant, creamy, easy to blend, and the color selections are just so lovely.

[@dashas5198]

Ahh I had the same problem with shaknaz. red as you, though it wasn't the only color with a problem. From what I've read, apparently some of the white nights pans aren't always stored in warehouses properly, and very cold temperatures cause the paint to turn slick/rubbery. Haven't personally experimented and put any paints in the freezer haha, but I did get unlucky with my prussian blues (3/4 pans I bought were hard as a rock), and some of the greens had that slick surface you had to remove. What colors are your favorites though? They have some really nice ones in the recent additions.

[@qwertyu12345]

I just found your channel, but you work so well with watercolor, a very beautiful result comes out!))

[@artbyolived]

OMG White Nights is my favorite too 😍💕. I stopped painting for years even though i have a Fine Arts Degree but i’m starting Over and your paintings inspire me 😍. White Nights and Himi Miya are my current faves when i comes to water based paints 😁

[@hambot]

Congratulations on painting again after so long! That must feel amazing! I love my Kiya and White nights too ❤️❤️

[@artbyolived]

@@hambot it does feel great. I get overwhelmed at times. But in a good way ❤️

[@riarese251]

Oh thank you so much 💕🥺✨

[@josealmazan6638]

hello, uhmm, i just want to say that i love your videos, and i hope that your channel will grow more, thank you for all those tutorials that you made, its very helpful and it inspires me . esp when you said that we don't have to think too much about our style and draw in a way were we are comfortable. uhmm.. sorry for the long post.. thank you 💖

[@shanelledavis8158]

You inspire me. Your art is beautiful.

[@hambot]

Thank you so much Shanelle!

[@artistryrival]

Omg so beautiful

[@ChandrewsArt]

I love your painting style! I loooove my mijello mission gold paints, haha, but I think maybe the way you neutralize your colors works better with the white nights. I can't get over the depth you have in your skintones-- so gorgeous!

[@hambot]

I love my Mijellos too! But i only prefer the WN for my subject matter. Do your Mijellos dry fully in the pan?

[@ChandrewsArt]

​@@hambotThey have dried fully! But I got them about 5 months ago and I live in an area with super low humidity most of the time, haha.

[@carollopes620]

this is just perfect

[@oliviad5474]

This is very nice, I personally hate doing portrait, I prefer nature and flowers and such this is awesome!

[@victoriaswiger5987]

I would still love love love to see you use and try out Kuretake Gansi Tambi watercolors like so much..

[@humanexperience1585]

White Nights St Petersburg are my absolute favourite. No others come even close to them.

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

Beautiful painting! I use senellier and van gogh watercolors for my illustrations but this brand looks very nice :) I think that you need a talent and not the brand of paints to make a beautiful painting - because someone without talent can have the most expensive paints and to paint nothing ;) Love this sad lady painting and the colors you used are very warm and beautiful 😍👏👏 thynk you for sharing and have a wonderful day! Marija 💖😊✨✨✨

[@hambot]

Thank you Marija! Sennelier is great too! Their colors are so clean and vibrant ❤️❤️

[@EnjoyDrawingwithMary]

@@hambot you're welcome 💖😊 and I agree! 😊

How to draw hyper realistic face using graphite pencil

I have no idea 😭

[@rxkshan]

@@hambot lol, because you are a concept artist, u don't know realism😂

[@annaguettabi3974]

Have you tried their gouache? I love that it comes in containers you don’t have to struggle with - the lids don’t dry sticking. :)

[@chloe_auie]

Yaas! I've missed your watercolor videos 💕 I really don't have any fave watercolor yet, I only have Prang wc since I'm still trying to learn wc and that's the only brand I can afford as of the moment 😅😂 But someday I would like to try White nights or Paul Rubens wc 😁 P.S. San mo po nabili yang white nights? And magkano po? Hehe salamaaat!

[@hambot]

It's so weird but the Prang reminds me of the WN! Sa shopee ko sya nabili kay sir Allan!

Lovely art! I was wondering what pen/brush pen are you using in 11:13 and 12:41? The black pens in the end

[@labaccident2010]

I have so many paints but recently I keep going back to my white nights set.

[@ConsHime]

Which is better in your experience White nights or Holbein?

[@jyotasama]

I love my 24-set of white nights to DEATH! It's my go-to palette for painting practice.

[@hambot]

Did you buy the one in the metal case or the plastic one like mine? I'm curious about the difference

[@jyotasama]

@@hambot I use the plastic palette ver. because it was a tad bit cheaper here, but I've heard that aside from the number of mixing wells there's not much difference. They sell a metal palette box of only pastels too, haven't tried that yet!

[@drei998]

May i ask where do you buy your white nights watercolor 😊

[@kiechan2041]

What's the paper you used?

[@peacefulsapphires5947]

Where can I buy these ? I'm defo not buying them this year but just in case!

Hi from Russia 🌟

[@lynamoon5943]

да реально классная акварель, в художке только ей и пользовалась

[@murraykriner9425]

Enjoyed the content, and the work entirely. Like that you have tried a few different brands and are willing to compare them. Big investment with higher quality set's, but its the only way to find one you like best. Many colors don't have very good lightfasteness, and will fade or even change color over time. Your mention of Yellow Ochre is best bought from French maker's if its labeled as J.F.L.S., jaune, fin, lavé, surfin. I could write a book on W/C paper's, but its of no consequence if you never put a color passage to any that are offered. What most want are the highest professional regarded maker's, and then deep tears over its cost. Fabriano has been in business for 500 years. I appreciate their having that level of expertise, and will gladly pay for it, never mentioning its cost even to a perspective client. The Art Cost This Much! You want things to hide the holes in your plaster walls at home, and want it cheap, buy this years calendar, but don't expect me to cut rates on my creations. Even museums and galleries never hang a watercolor for very long, any where near direct daylight. All W/C will eventually be effected by UV that is present directly or indirectly where the work is situated. Also humidity and temperature has a bit to do with longevity of life and the colors you choose to use. Have a great week young lady.

[@forgottozhonya957]

Wanted to get the white knights but instead went for the mijello which were on sale lol.

[@marinamikaele]

In your opinion is this watercolor better than Van gogh?

[@kanishyamohan]

Haha I use the ones from Camlin ....they are easy to find here in India🤗

[@hambot]

Oh ive heard good things about them!
