Overly Detailed Review of Rosa Gallery NEW Granulating Watercolors

I really feel like a paint detective on this one! Watch for a surprising revelation! Today we are looking at the 8 new granulating watercolors from Rosa Gallery. rosa.ua/en/module-smartblog-d...
These paints were sent to me for review.
I have not found the new 10 colors of Rosa watercolors for sale in the US but I have purchased Rosa Gallery sets very affordably on Amazon: amzn.to/46sCxxM I
My original review of Rosa Gallery Watercolors: • Can Paint This Cheap B...
Pros:
Price
Easy to rewet
Good granulation in 4 colors
The gold and silver are nice mixers, not chalky at all in mixes
The super granulators mix well with other colors to make standard colors granulate
Cons:
The new colors are hard to find
Rosa watercolors seem to wear down a bit faster than other brands
4 of the new colors were pretty bland and flat looking
I think there is a misprint in the labels. I believe the paint uses PBk11, not Pbk7
Overall I am really happy with four of the colors: gold and silver. I recommend them for sure. the others are not my cup of tea but they are good paint. You really can't beat the value of Rosa watercolors.
BTW I did get a response from Rosa who says they use PBk7 and it is not magnetic because it contains no iron. This doesn't jive with my experiments but the paints that had PBk7 on their label definitely reacted with a magnet in my tests. Weird.

Lindsay Weirich, Pigment Detective Episodes are my favorites!!! ❤

[@amandahodgin9316]

Now you need to let Rosa know about their mislabeled pigment and ask them for a 50% off discount code for your beloved followers 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I let them know, but they insistvits pbk7 😆

[@brendawalsh8254]

Tell them we’ll buy all the ones they have the error on 😂 50% off

[@candaceainslie980]

Absolutely 💯!,

[@starshinesoldier]

The fact that the pigments reacts to the magnetic is sosososo cool!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Yes I would love to view the dot card swatch; these colors granulate like nobody’s business Lindsay. Impressive paintings!!Love it when science trumps ‘belief’!!😂 Thank you!🎉❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I emailed rosa and they said they can't be magnetic because they are sure they use pbk7 lol!

[@thethriftyapprentice]

Okay hands down…..you are the coolest person on KZbin! The rest of us live in awe lol. This was a really informative video. Thank you.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Wow, thank you!

[@jessieg4901]

I literally squealed 😂❤😬🫶🏻 I love Rosa watercolors!!

[@MaryYoungblood-xy8vg]

The azure green and gold mix was stunning and even better as it started to granulate.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I agree!

[@corvus3513]

First, I found Rosa Gallery a while back and bought their 24 colors for such an amazing price on Amazon. I been using them for watercolor month since last year. Love them! Second, you might joke, but I actually do watch your long videos to fall asleep to at night LOL

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks fir the watch time:)

[@justacatwhocantype]

I sometimes put on Lindsay's longer videos for when I am painting or doing housework. 😁

[@marlbboro8091]

Same. The long ones are my happy thoughts while I fall asleep.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I love dot card swatching videos. I get hypnotized 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'm so glad! I'll do one!

[@wanderingstar5673]

Explorer Dora - you are too funny. Thank you for the informative and fun review. Yes to the dot card swatching. I never knew watching paint dry could be so entertaining. 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@elisecharlenefineart]

Hi Lindsey, Can you asked Rosa Gallery where we can buy a dot card?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Here: www.artemiranda.com/rosa-gallery-watercolour-dot-card/23613

[@amandahodgin9316]

I would love to see the dot card swatched. I have only one Rosa colour. I really like it and the nearest art store to me sells them for a very reasonable price.

[@eBookHoarder]

I only have 1 Rosa too, PBr25. It is lovely.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Will do!

[@deborahbloom4624]

This is super fascinating, Lindsay. No sarcasm....it really IS interesting info. Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@FrankDudgeon]

Wow, what a great video. It’s fairly long but you kept it zipping along and crammed it full of helpful info, clever sleuthing and entertaining asides. Can’t do that in those “shorts” KZbin seems enamored of. Gonna keep my eyes out for those three you recommended. Thanks for another gem.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@antoniaking4719]

I love Rosa paints AND a good magnet experiment🤓💕.That colbalt grey is lovey!! I do find the schmincke's quite hard to rewet. But this was a fantastic review!! Thanks for all you do Lindsay!! 💗

[@ellencha5975]

Thanks for answering the question about Rosa pans disappearing quickly. I noticed that right away. But I really like painting with them. Very different fromDaniel Smith.

[@patkelly275]

I looked up the paints and found this on their site: Gold. Warm saturated golden colour made of mica pigment, thin transparent particles covered with metal oxides with a high level of lightfastness. In a thick layer, the colour will give bright accents to your work, in a thin transparent it will give a fascinating feeling of depth. Gold mixed with other colours adds a shimmering shine to them. It looks extremely good over the dark tones of watercolours, or when used on dark paper. Ideal for the simulation of precious metals. Silver. The noble shade of silver will highlight your work. The rich or transparent silver tone will add depth to the moonlight, the clouds that glow at the sunset, and the glare of snow, ice, and water. Silver will add bright accents to shells, fish, and bird feathers. It simulates the colour of precious metals, and in mixtures with other colours will give them a flickering shine. It looks extremely good over the dark tones of watercolours, or when used on dark paper. Ideal for illustrators

[@katarinaholik]

Miranda Watson did a home lightfastness test of Rosa Gallery, they did rather well.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Great!

[@HeatherBryant22]

They will be in the states in the fall! I asked my supplier:)

[@apocalypse_frau]

That’s good news; I’ve been on a moody, granuling color binge, and I’d like some singles from this set. :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good to know!

[@susansacco7583]

The magnet 💕Thanks so much for super thorough and fun review!💕

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@sheillaallen2538]

Do I need another set of watercolors? No. Have i been looking at Rosa Gallery Single Pigment set? Yes. Yes I have. This set looks fascinating.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@aartadventure]

I woke up this morning and found this video paused at 24:10 just moments before Lindsay asked if I was asleep. I feel so caught out lol.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

😄 I don't mind!

[@JessicaCEP]

Can’t wait to get these!

[@marshahostetler]

Lindsay I love this watercolor and I have allot of high quality watercolor Schminke and Daniel Smith but I keep reaching for this palette more and more. Love your reviews you help me make an educated decision! Love and light to you and family!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Wonderful!

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

The magnetic paint made me squeal like a kid. 🤣 The possibilities for abstract pieces are endless. 🤔 😊 I really enjoy these 'deep dives' into colours. 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you! 😊

[@melissaaldosari8024]

Detective Lindsay solves the mystery! 🎉🎉🎉

[@ChrissieNicely]

You had me with the title! 😂 Wow, that was thorough! AND I never knew PBk11 was magnetic! Perhaps they have found a way to process PBk7 differently. Or it is - indeed - mislabelled, even though their customer relations would deny it. Mislabelling has even happened with Schmincke before (once)! - Thanks for the entertaining review, Lindsay! 😃🤩😘

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They say it's not mislabeled and they also say it can't be magnetic.

[@boopeep9670]

Great review love the super thoroughness and learned so much about the individual pigments ! I love how your curiosity will take you off on a tangent, and we learned so much on that journey. The magnetic experiment was the coolest. I do hope you do the dot test in another video just for the fun of it.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much! Will do!

[@deb.e.mixedmedia]

Great video! That magnet trick was cool! Thanks for sharing! 🎨💜

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@katarinaholik]

Wow I really like how this palette works. The added mica seems fun.

[@lisafreeman2867]

I just bought the kuretaki graphite paints, but would of bought these had I just waited and watched this! I love the Rosa paints. A little does a lot with them, and the middle row is amazing!

[@amandahodgin9316]

The jade green does resemble deep sea green. That brown would be pretty mixed with buff titanium to make a sandy beach.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good idea!

[@danielleb.7055]

Thank you for sharing these and always giving your honest opinion. I personally like swatching videos and full length tutorials, so Id definitely enjoy that video. Have a great day

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you like them!

[@marcwheeler4406]

I like these rosa colors will definitely be looking to pursching these certain colors in the near future..thanks for review..

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You’re welcome 😊

[@SMCCRADY2]

I love your long reviews, although I sometimes have to watch in multiple sittings depending on the day. Thanks for your in-depth reviews.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you like them!

[@shirleybrady3174]

These colors look retro!! Love the granulation! Didn’t know these existed! Thank you! I love Rosa❤️

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@Jeannette.akaJnett]

Enjoyed this whole review. Got a kick out of the magnetic. Never knew you could do that. Great job and you were more than fair throughout.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks so much!

[@Winstonsmom]

I got a few of these a few weeks ago and the jade green is getting a lot of use… so much so that I actually ordered 2 tubes. Absolutely love ❤ this colour!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's awesome! Where did you order from?

[@Winstonsmom]

@@thefrugalcrafter Ken Bromley in the UK.

[@lisaboutin821]

Loved this video, ...such fun ! Great idea to check the paint with a magnet. You have really interesting and entertaining videos and thanks for introducing me to Rosa paints when I started on my painting journey after that video " Can paints this cheap be any good ?"

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much!

[@tavenchristensen3157]

OH WOW!! I LOVE these muted colors.

[@ALittleCreative]

Inspector Lindsay for the win!!

[@phillipstroll7385]

So cute

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@janinawiegratz8464]

Love your video, love the Rosa paints. I was tempted to add the Jade Green and the Golden Brown. But the Jade green seen only on the internet reminds me of the Undersea Green from DS or the Aquarius Green from Roman Szmal. The super pretty Golden Brown reminds on something from Schmincke's supergranulating range (Desert something or else). I have the single pigment colors so I could mix them. But of course the want monster wants the convenience mix and maybe maybe it's much prettier than I could mix it ❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'm sure you can mix it:)

[@kearalydon]

I love the dot cards. When i was choosing a new pallette, i ordered several. I would love to see the Rosa dot card swatches.

[@erikaleighart]

Thank you for sharing! That black granulating color on the far right looks like a dead ringer for Daniel Smith’s Hematite Genuine.

[@mishti06]

Ohh I am totally in love with those granulating colours especially the green and grey ❤❤❤❤. I've been looking for this set on Amazon but so far here in aus can only find the bigger set. Great review Lindsay...would love to see the dot card swatched out. Also love to get one myself but still hunting too🔍

[@lallison2825]

Oh I love granulating colors. I'm so happy to catch this review, I've been so busy I've hardly watched. Hope you have a happy 4th :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you! You too!

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

I definitely want to see a video of you swatching the colors with the pigment info from the Rosa gallery swatch card!!! Great video, much love❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Will do!!

[@bethcrane5780]

That magnet thing! holy cow that was cool!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I thought so!

[@junepatterson7928]

So cool, the magnet.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@ginabadeaux9319]

very funny about the falling asleep i remember years ago i made a comment about enjoying your videos at night before sleep ,i felt bad ,your videos give me such creative ideas,i got so exited when the magnet worked ,i think art and science are so close of friends ,love you

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Wonderful

[@user-wk1mw9nj3i76]

Forensic Watercology! Awesome! A great video. Please work your magic with the dot card, too! I love my Rosa watercolors. My favorite is the botanical set. Gorgeous colors.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you! Will do!

[@cloverrabbit5622]

Using the magnet to move the paint around is pretty cool Lindsay! And I love the lobster stencil...great for Nova Scotians also! 🥰 Thanks for the review.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks so much!

[@pikkuoo]

The granulating colours have been in shops here in Finland since this spring, but I haven't tried them yet. I think I will buy at least couple of them now as you endorsed them. 😅 Artemiranda in Spain sells Rosa paints and their dotcards, and they do ship internationally. Cheers Lindsay! ❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@sierracarscadden6049]

Yes! Would love to see the Rosa dot card swatching please.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Coming soon!

[@watercolourmark]

Those colours do go fast. I hear they don't use honey in the mix. Just very finely ground with gum arabic. They pick up real well and I often have too much pigment lifting out a pan. But Rosa whole pans are smaller, I guess so they can fit 12 whole pans in a small tin palette, that usually fits half pans better. A whole pan is usually 3ml, sometimes up to 3.2ml. Rosa's whole pans are 2.5ml.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for the info

[@berolinastrassmann]

Great review and excursion into the rabbit hole of pigment sleuthing 😂. It was fun to listen to your voice getting all excited trying to find out what was going on. I appreciate your curiosity and thoroughness. Yes to swatching the dot card. I bought their single pigment tubes, open stock so I can make my own mixes. So far I am really enjoying them. They rewet well, the colours are beautiful and they have a super price point here in 🇩🇪. I checked, and they dont have a single pigment black. They have Grape Black and Neutral Black. Both are mixes, starting with PBk7. They do t seem to carry any colour with PBK11 🤔. Thanks, Lindsay!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Interesting. I havet tried their tubes.

[@kimberlywalker280]

Your cards and painting are lovely

[@kimberlywalker280]

LOVED the magnet hack.😃

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks so much 😊

[@susansacco7583]

I was in another room changing sheets when I heard you ask if we were still with you, awake.😂 still watching

[@thefrugalcrafter]

😆

[@brendawalsh8254]

I did fall asleep to you last night but I’m rewatching now. I love ALL your videos. Oooh you are a forensic artist! Coined it. Also when I’m looking on Amazon I’m not sure which set to buy. What is it you recommend if I don’t have any Rosa paints and only a few professional wc paints

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I like the modern set of 21 but the new mono ligament set of 12 looks good too.

[@GingahSnapsArt]

I love it!! Beautiful review Also bahahaha yes I play with magnets a LOT and it is great fun! You'd be surprised what you can do with it 🥰 I'm in similar boat with DS strugglebus but a number of their Primatek paints are magnetic too. It frustrates me because it feels like a conflict of interest. 😂 ahhh priorities.

[@jenniferarted3652]

I bought my 14 pan set of Rosa when you did your first review and have since added 12 more colors a few at a time. Love these paints! The only color that I have been a bit disappointed with is their Quinacridone Gold. It just doesn’t have the punch I expect from a quin gold. I still have room in my tin for 2 more colors, I may have to pick from these new colors.

[@followyourbrush]

What a fun review. I stayed awake! Lol!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mayloo2137]

I like watching your product videos. I have enough paints. It's always interesting to see what is available in the States. It makes me wonder if the brands I've seen recently on your channel- Rosa and Mission Gold- are available in Canada. The colors look so beautiful. HAPPY 4TH! 🎉🎉🎉 Shades of grey? More than 50?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for watching!

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Lindsay, I love watching you swatch water colors!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

You are so welcome!

[@myrawillis6829]

Thank you for making me buy more paint. Just kidding! You never have too many to choose from. I just found out that my local Canadian art store De Serres is carrying Rosa Gallery and had to go right over. I really enjoy my other Rosa Gallery pans that Ive collected from all over so a local source is wonderful.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That is awesome!

[@kayclark4406]

So many paint brands to choose from!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yup!

[@ArtBrain]

The green would be amazing with a Cobalt Teal, for a glacier-fed poolwith spring moss. I just saw some incredible photos of such a scene, and that color is exactly right. I have fun mixing brighter colors with these drab granulators, because they separate into really colorful combinations.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That would be cool!

[@clikchicdesigns]

Oh my gosh that magnet trick would be so much fun for creating unique effects in your painting! ❤ I need to see if any of my paint has PBk11 now so I can try it! 😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Go for it!

[@Lala_B]

People love to use stickers on their thermoses and water bottles!❤

[@Zyswest]

that granulating green reminds me of dusk yellow by van gogh and rembrandt

Yes, swatching please. No sleeping 😂

[@MichisCrafts80]

Yes please, swarch the dot card😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Will do!

Inspector Lindsay to the rescue (meanwhile I’m cutting dinner veggies and humming the inspector gadget tune) 😂 Great review. I live in the South, those paints wouldn’t survive here! Still holding out for my Majello Pure Pigment set. 😊

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@annettefournier9655]

Looks like Swiper swiped the pbk7 so they used pbk11. Nice work Dora! That magnet test was so cool! I love my Rosa watercolors. I'm impatient and they pick up like my M Graham but are way cheaper😅. I like that there is hardly any drying shift. All my yellows from them are cadmium though. And their prices have gone up 10 bucks across the board on sets in tins or in just a box. Oh well. Thanks Lindsay 💜 I'm still working on that lake landscape by drips and drabs. I .ade a huge error and now have to figure out how to fix it. Should have stuck to Dr. Seuss trees.😉

[@thefrugalcrafter]

😆

[@luxor106]

The PBK7 (lamp Black) and PY42 (yellow ochre) should give a deep moody green hue. I use it in under painting alot...it has a history in Italian frescos for verdaccio . I agree that it could be another pigment.

[@deborahbloom4624]

Do you think you could do a quick tutorial on using the mask technique, Lindsay? It seems like a fun way to get creative....especially for those of us that are not super great at sketching/drawing. Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Great idea!

[@valasafantastic1055]

I wonder why they are lying about the use of pbk 11? Pbk11 is a respected pigment. Is it just because they don’t want to admit they labeled the paints wrong? You have proof it’s pbk11! The paints look and act like pbk11 and you have proof they react to the magnet! It’s not trustworthy of them but it could also be an accidental miscommunication. These seem fun not sure how easy to find they will be. I personally prefer tubes so I can use fresh for large areas but primarily so I can use my tubes to make custom mixes in empty half and full pans. Still they are nice and like you said it’s colours and shades of grey so we have to determine who we support monetarily. They should correct the labels really. Still not as bad as Daniel Smith.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They day its pbk7 but for all I know their supplier could have sent them the wrong pigment so who knows? I hope it's not intentional. Also, I am not a geologist or scientist so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

[@Bugiddle]

This is such an interesting video! I'm not even halfway through yet. I have not tried Rosa paints before. The Jade Green does look like DS Undersea Green, except theirs isn't granulating, I don't think? And the Azure Green looks just like DS Sleeping Beauty Turquoise, which IS granulating (and which I paid something like $21 for on Blick! But it is such a beautiful color. I had a dot of it and fell in love...)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lizabethwhite5652]

Oh MY GOSH. HOW COOL. Science project. way cool wicked cool. LOL.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Right?!

[@karenluke-mannarino3426]

Lindsay, I have a lot of transparent, nongranulating colors in my palettes, but would love some granulating colors. Should I purchase some granulating medium? If not, what are a few granulating colors you would recommend purchasing? Thanks so much for an excellent review and all the ones you regularly provide. You are my go to person for honest and thorough reviews!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I think the granulating medium is disappointing. I'd just see what colors you have that granulated and maybe add a few more.

[@waymire01]

Buy the granulating SINGLE pigments and mix your own supergranulators and separating colors with the transparent colors you already have. I've made colors way more beautiful than the ones sold by Schminke etc and the possibilities are endless, because not only can you mix everything together, you can use them alone too. Mars black, mars brown, potters pink, titanium buff, a good french ultramarine and burnt umber, cobalt turquoise/violet/pink/green, cerulean blue, etc. Check swatches and compare brands the same pigment can behave differently from different brands. I have about twenty granulators in a palette and they are three or four different brands. You can mix as you go out of pans, or if you find something you really like mix up a batch from tubes and let it dry in a pan for later. I especially like to do pale shades which none of the brands put out.. like cerulean and potters pink which is a beautiful dusky violet with little flecks of pink and blue.

[@karenluke-mannarino3426]

@@waymire01 thank you so much for this detailed explanation on how to adapt granulating colors and then make them even more beautiful. Most of the watercolors I own are transparent so now onto accumulating a variety of granulating tubes. This gives me a great start! I so appreciate this answer. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@sjbmiranda]

Thanks for this! Am a fan of Rosa watercolors and wish these were available in the US -- if your grapevine alerts you about availability, please let us know!

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Lindsay, those are cool effects. Anyway, I've still not narrowed down the artist grade tube watercolors yet. I have a question, what do you think (yes, your opinion is what I'm asking) about the American Journey tube watercolors from Cheap Joe's? Thanks in advance. Now I can go back to watching my relaxation video while I'm dealing with pain in my upper back or shoulder (somewhere in there, LoL). No tensing drama shows for me today.

I’m not sure if Artemiranda ship to the U.S., but that’s where I bought them. I wasn’t as impressed with the first row either, but I’ve actually found use for the colours. And seeing as I only paid about €2 per pan, I don’t really mind.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Awesome!

[@lindyashford7744]

My favourite Granulating black is from Aquarius, it is fabulous, you can mix it with any other colour and it is particularly good with blues And yellows and even rosy pinks, I did not try it with a magnet though. I do have a couple of magnetic colours from Kremer,one is a violet and the other a black and of course they are magnetic they are iron oxides. I wonder if Rosa were supplied with this pigment as is and were unaware of these properties, and it came named the way they say it is. One of the reason some quite expensive pigments are so affordable when made in Russia or Ukraine or Poland is because as countries they actually have the raw materials there and are major suppliers anyway.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Good to know!

[@gailwatson8423]

Hi Lindsay, love your videos. I have actually watched this one a few times , I learn so much. I’m wondering if you have any idea of where or how we can get these new paint colors I can’t seem to find anyone selling them… I know Amazon sells some of the line and I searched Etsy. But have had no luck. Both DB and Jerrys have opted out because of the war☹️. Would love your help if you’re able. Thanks Gail

[@thefrugalcrafter]

There is a ship in Spain called artmiranda I think tharmt has these. You can try Jackson's in the UK too. Both ship worldwide. Also pro art supplies On etsy might be able to get them for you.

[@gailwatson8423]

Thanks so much.

[@elaineg60]

Hey Lindsay, I need an idea..I had made some VERY cool granulating, separating mixes..especially 2, one with my PB33 + PO49…an absolutely stunning mossy green, that dries with a golden halo..and I mean a large halo (“wet on wet”)..and then the one I’ve talked about before..DS Amethyst + Volcano Yellow..(PY159) with beautiful separation, a bit of sparkle, purple/yellow/gray…two mixes I LOVE, but except for some abstract play, I can’t think of where I can use them. I love separating colors, the problem, or maybe advantage to some, is how unpredictable they are. But, if you have a suggestion on those 2..please let me know. Oh, I DID use my amethyst mix on a Chinese traditional painting (using my brush water technique) on xuan paper. It’s a painting of some bunnies around old pottery. It turned out ok..but had my tutor VERY confused 😂. The pottery was supposed to be a warm gray, made mainly with diluted ink. Mine, of course, had a bit of sparkle with spots of grayish purple and some yellow. 🤷🏼‍♀️. Copying master’s works you’re supposed to copy as close as possible..creatively exploring is supposedly reserved for more advanced artists. It’s ok, I liked it & sent it to my daughter who was born in the year of the rabbit (this year & 1987)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The green would be good for seaweed, algea and moss in a seascape.

[@redmoon8217]

Thanks for the video. I am looking at buying some Rosa paints and have been watching a number of videos. I was going to get Roman Szmal as I had recently discovered them through KZbin and liked the look of them. However the only place to get RS in UK is Jackson's and they are twice the price of Rosa. Some KZbinrs say that they like Rosa better than RS except RS earth colours are better. One of the things from your video that worries me is that you said that the Rosa paints don't spread well. What is your opinion to other reasonably priced paints?

Davinci watercolors are a wonderful budget find in the USA. I usually buy them on blick.

I wish i could find a way of getting hold of some of those granulating colours in uk or canada.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Maybe look for Rockwell paint in Canada. They have lots of granulators.

great video. I tried to find the set, but it's not on Amazon or the Rosa web site (only Ukrainian stores).

I LOVED PG17 mixes when they were wet, but they were soo flat when dry. It's SO sad. :( Also, I had got a PBk11 with one set of Watercolors, now I gotta get that poor pan out and add to my pallete again hahaha. :P

It is an amazing mixer!

When are these going to be available in the US, does anyone know? The magnet trick is awesome, I'm going to try on my Van Gogh Oxide Black PBk11. I will also try it on my granulating Cobalt Black from Mission Gold, which is the only brand I've found to carry PBk27, and which looks very similar to the Mars Black.

I'm not sure. Jcksons might have them to order.

[@terrilyon6825]

Are these available to buy yet? I can't find the pans available to buy in the UK?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I haven't seen them yet.

I’m so confused about the pigment ingredients. A video breakdown would be helpful 😅!
