Swatching 24 Qiaomei by Paul Rubens Watercolors! 🎨 🌺

[@peterplantec7911]

It too find finding words difficult…once a relatively articulate public speaker, I now struggle to find even simple words at times. It comes and goes. But I empathize with you. That said, you’ve done a lovely job here. My Qaiomei set comes today.

So happy to see you back so soon! I hope the infusion didn't put you too much under ❤ These were surprising. Beautiful beginner set.

Rhanwen, hi!!❤️My infusion is on the 8th, this Friday :) The month leading up to it is always a little tough - I think it's because the medication by now has left my body, and I have no defenses agains MS. Hopefully once fully medicated again, I'll feel a little more normal ☺️

I was waiting for someone to review these! The paints look lovely and I think Paul Rubens really knocked it out of the park with these colors. I think they’re really affordable and good for someone who wants to start out without investing too much in on paints. Personally I think good quality watercolor paper does more for your work than expensive pigments so these would be great!

[@lilymoonart]

I am so glad you liked the colors! I agree, paper is as important as watercolors!❤️

[@ginabadeaux9319]

thank you i just bought these ,i love my paul rubens paints ,lindsay the frugal crafter got some and did a video ,great paint with a good price

Hi Lily, I think these look very impressive considering they are a student grade set. Very nice indeed. Dee

[@lilymoonart]

They did handle very well on the paper Dee, and I was really impressed by how little they shifted in color when dried and how creamy they were. :)

[@karin7765]

You recommended these for beginners..I don't know much about watercolor paint but it made me wonder, what makes them less suitable for professionals??

[@silkspinner7010]

They’re a nice set of colours. I find myself chatting along with you, I like this colour or not that one. I prefer a much greener raw umber and thought the sap green was really nice. The emerald should make a food mixing colour. Thanks for the video

[@silkspinner7010]

Wish you better and will look forward to the video when you are able to post ❤❤❤

[@lilymoonart]

I love that you were chatting along!!I agree with the umber observation and your emerald comment did make me chuckle 😄 The sap green is one of the better sap greens out there, for sure! ❤️

[@lilymoonart]

❤️❤️❤️

[@silkspinner7010]

I just read your comments and mine. I realised that I didn’t check properly what I had written. I meant to say that the emerald green would make a good mixing colour. I made a joke without realising it. 😂😂😂😂

[@lilymoonart]

@@silkspinner7010 haha 😂

[@kuraicraft]

if these are student grade, how do they go when you try to blend? do they contain multiple pigments so the colours get more muddy?

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

Colours are nice and vibrant. Though I'm a big believer that you are better off starting out with 6 colours from a top brand than getting 24 student grade paints. But hey...that's just me :). Hope you feel much better very soon!

[@lilymoonart]

That is a really good point, Monique! Having a small selection of true pigments, rather than a large selection of hues can teach a newcomer so much! ❤

[@sueallen952]

Hi Lily just wondering what's the difference with these to other watercolours if any? Just wondering why they gave them this name

[@lilymoonart]

Hi Sue, I am not sure but at a guess, this could be the name they chose for their student grade watercolors.☺️
