Sakura has been in the business for many decades in Japan, and was one of the first to spearhead the use of long fiberous materials in their watercolour markers during the 1980's. Its no wonder that you found the kit so well thought out & properly attired. Their German, or Prussian Blue is really close in hue to Manganese Blue's found in other lines. The Koi sets are very finely ground, even if they aren't nearly as high in quality of pigments. Often the cakes or pans will start to lose moisture over time. A little Gum of Arabic will suffice in returning the flow your hoping find in them. It won't take much to resolve the ill. Great review. I'm certain the Koi line would be overjoyed to hear of your satisfaction. Take care.

Thank you for the information!I'm still getting more used to using actual color names so i was having a hard time describing it! And you're right about their sets just being planned out so well, there must have been years and years spent just making this box just the way it is. I haven't really saw the pans drying out so bad, even on my old set but the surface on some of them do look like they crack when they dry though I don't even notice it at all when I'm working

[@murraykriner9425]

@@hambot the Koi Collection is by no mean's a beginner set, it is rather an Intermediate grade for enthusiast who demand vivid hues and consistent working qualities. The Prussian Blue has been much altered from past, since Phthalo is a far better tincturally, and doesn't need other inert fillers to keep its permanence and color. Manganese is a modern advent of the middle of the 20th Century being chemically more stable and cheaper to make for the Art Market. The old Prussian Blue often will destabilize over time and separate the binder from the pigment. You explain your craft better than most of my College Art Professor's ever could, so a pardon is hardly required. If we wanted to be novelist, we would paint with the word's leant by other's. With Art, all that is secondary, and expression is composition and color alone. Better in all respects, I would say. Very best wishes.

[@purpley5574]

this is the true definition of trust the process!

[@kristinarallos4365]

I love how you put all different colors together and create a beautiful art piece! Cause I'm really bad at colors ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

[@hambot]

Thank you Kristina! A big part of it is the color selection for this set, it's just so inspiring!

[@keldyshka]

This the set I got when I learned watercolour from cheap sets and was ready to move on...i've had it for 3 years and I love it so dearly! The colours are so perfectly chosen and I never feel like there's a colour I don't use. They're my only watercolours, and I think I'll just get them again when they run out one day :D

[@isidoramendez2922]

Your art always inspires me to paint. Not only the finished piece is beautiful, but your process is loose, it’s almost magical how everything comes together. I hope you become a recognized artist one day.

[@lunasea4309]

Same exactly how I and many other feels it's inspiring and non stressful, I wish I had a teacher like her❤️

[@purpley5574]

ate, can you make your mixing palette visible while you're painting? i really appreciated the video that you made where you placed the mixing palette inside the frame cause i struggle so much when i try to figure out the color that i need whenever i'm painting. this is a suggestion but it's also okay if you won't do it if you're uncomfortable. i'd still watch your videos cause i love 'em!

[@hambot]

Purpley sure! I can do more that way but i can't do all of them the same way because it disrupts the footage and can get distracting sometimes

[@DellaDrawing]

그림이 예쁘고👍🏻😍 그리는 과정을 보며 많이 배우고 갑니다😆

[@tinglyart3877]

i had sakura koi as my first watercolour set too! i used to love it until i realized the colour differences of it compared to daniel smith and winsor newton. it might not be a fair comparision because the price difference is huge, but i am truly impressed how your art skills utilized a student grade watercolour set to make such pretty art :)

[@sori6196]

I love how you put these colors together… so unexpected yet beautiful

[@nice.dennice]

Your process and style has been my inspiration in my art and now I’m loving every time I draw or paint something! It’s really nice 😌

[@naaraahu1050]

You narrate it so nicely and I never really appreciate my koi watercolor set before, but after hearing this comment, I feel like I should appreciate it more. Thank you for this video. Your art is always so interesting.

[@kram9850]

those aqua brushes have been one of my top buys of 2022, they have been amazing, the amount of time, and ease of use has been a lifesaver, now i dont need to setup anything just pull this out add water and forget about the rest, great for quick sketches

[@isidoramendez2922]

As a perfectionist, your process for this piece made me so anxious! Your strokes are so loose, but I guess your a magician, cause at the end, everything turned out so perfectly.

[@yngnfrs_9]

can you also review superior watercolor? It's a pretty cheap set so I'd like to buy it as a practice for watercolor

[@meanmurine]

I absolutely recommend superior watercolor, if it's any help. I found it to be comparable to Van Gogh or other upper end "student" colours. Some people even think that they're rebranded Paul Rubens paints with some filler in.

[@raeshiellee2408]

@@meanmurine yes that's trueeee superior watercolor is my ultimate favorite for lower price!

[@yngnfrs_9]

@@meanmurine tysm! Can I ask about its waterbrush tho, does it hold water well? I mean does it squeeze too much water or just normal amount.. I heard that it doesn't have stopper so yeah I'm curious

[@meanmurine]

@@yngnfrs_9 I don't recall it having any significant issues, but I didn't use it for long. I prefer sable hair brushes.

You can choose a sketchbook that has 100% cotton and are thicker. I use 200 to 300 gsm. You can also make your own sketchbook so you can choose your preferred watercolor brand. ^^

I find your drawing process very inspiring. But you should be careful not to touch your colors. The pigments are toxic and can be harmful to health.
