I appreciate all your efforts on your videos! They are very informative for a begginer like me

[@jillwiswall5386]

I find my Sennelier paints really excel at layering to build up depth of color. This is a nice basic set and I like that there is room to add more colors so you can curate the palette to your taste. Great video and thank you for sharing!

[@theartistelizabeth]

honestly I totally agree with you and that is what I mention on my videos also that this is perfect as it is buildable and perfoms best on glazing. And you are right that we can add more colors we wish to have ( I already have a wishlist 😍) Thank you so much for watching Jill & for taking time to comment! This means a lot to me! Happy Halloween 🧙🏻‍♀️ 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

Their Phthalo Blue looks different than what I'm used to seeing PB15:3s looking like - I'll have to get out my set and see if mine looks like that as well. Thanks, Elizabeth!

[@theartistelizabeth]

Hello Miranda! Yeah the phthalo blue in this set is weak. Let me know if yours is the same or it must be the paper that I used perhaps. 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

[@giespel68]

It's very different from other brands. Also, Sennelier's pb15:3 has not the highest lightfast rating, contrary to other brands.

[@UJB123]

My everyday out and about (urban sketching set) set is 12 Sennelier with 5 DS Primateks in the middle row of my pallet. Sennelier is creamy, 1 swipe, excellent paint.

[@IamYourGodess]

This is such a great video! I love all the b-rolls & your swatches & paintings are so good

[@theartistelizabeth]

Thanks for watching and I am glad you find this a great video @IamYourGodess . Have you tried Sennelier watercolors? 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

[@helenag.9386]

They are Lovely smooth paints - not much granulation or interesting colours but they are reliable to me!

[@SakuraYukiTokyo]

I agree with you helen

[@theartistelizabeth]

So true.. very straightforward and perfect for illustrators. Thanks for watching Helen 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

[@Realartfairy]

What a great video. I see thi set several times on Amazon and contemplating on buying it. But now that I know it is a good value with good paints. I like this set

[@theartistelizabeth]

Amazon have it on sale several times indeed! This is actually a good set and can be recommended for both begginers & intermediate artists 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

[@awatercolourist]

Hello 👋🏼. That Phthalo Blue is very turquoise in hue.

[@theartistelizabeth]

hello @awatercolourist there you are! I am thinking maybe it’s also the way I swatched and the paper that didn’t give justice to the sennelier phthalo blue but one thing is for sure, it is buildable and does perform better when glazed atleast. Thanks for watching! 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

Blick Art Materials lists the Bright Red as PR 3 - Toluidine red. Semi opaque - high staining strenght. LF: Very Good

[@theartistelizabeth]

Hi! I used the info directly from SENNELIER’S website straight from the source, coming from the brand who made this watercolors! 💕 I always research the info from the brands and not from retailer stores only who can put whatever info they wish!

[@MustiCat1]

Logged in to my Sennellier account and went through their pigment lists, Bright red/Helios red is PR3

[@aaab469]

Lovely swatches and i love the paintings u made 🧡⚘

[@theartistelizabeth]

So glad you love the swatches & paintings! Thanks for watching 💕 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, ELIZABETH ✨ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ 🇸🇪

your swatches incl all the tiny cute illustrations are a very good idea to see what is possible with these colors by itselfe... that looks very pretty.

Sennelier is definitely in my top 3 favorite watercolor brands, it's one of those brands that immediately had a special place in my heart as soon as I tried them 🥰 I'm really surprised they included bright red, sennelier red is beautifully vibrant and a punchy red, it would've been much better to include that instead.

[@theartistelizabeth]

Hello E4. I am so glad to hear it is in your top 3 as a lot of people do not understand Sennelier L’aquarell watercolors especially those who are looking for magical granulation effects.. it is not what they are known for. I love this best for illustrations. That bright red is worksble but indeed sad that it was there instead of the Sennelier Red which is unique to the brand. I would love to get my hands on all those sennelier colors and try them out soon too. Keep enjoying your paints! 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

Do you have an Etsy store for art materials? May I know what it is? Thank you

[@theartistelizabeth]

Hi, i tried etsy but it is not as beneficial here in EU as it is in US. The fees are crazy high and I earn nothing at all so I am not sure I will continue there..

[@helenag.9386]

They are smooth and reliable - not very interesting though!

[@theartistelizabeth]

We miss the exciting granulating watercolors here right? But it does the job indeed 👩🏻‍🎨𝕩𝕠𝕩𝕠, Ｅｌｉｚａｂｅｔｈ ✩ ᡶꫝꫀ ᠻỉꫀꪹᨶꫀ ꪖꪹᡶ ✩

[@coolrunnings3]

I wonder, what would make a basic 18 pans watercolor box more interesting? Besides granulation.

[@theartistelizabeth]

@@coolrunnings3 perhaps the expensive pigments which they will not add in a set like this right?😅

[@crowquillgal1016]

Well…they market themselves as using the palette of the Impressionists…. They weren’t looking for the paint to have special-effects, they were creating their images and using their unique styles and vision. I think they are similar to WN, in that they produce “classic” products, but Sennelier has more experimental as well,. They just don’t really mix those approaches within product lines. Sometimes excellence (which is why they are beloved by botanical illustrators) doesn’t need to be earth shaking. Just excellent 😉

[@theartistelizabeth]
