White Nights paints are such good value! I have a ton of them. I've only ever bought the pans, but a friend sent me samples of their tubes a while ago - those tube samples are definitely stickier than my pans. I've never seen any half pans from them, though. I didn't like the composition of the ready sets I had access to, so I've just bought the ones I think look interesting. I much prefer picking my own colors!

I love this selection of colors! That Rose Quartz is a really pretty pink! And I totally agree on buying the colors you prefer over buying ready made sets, especially if you can't afford one outright but can only get a couple colors at a time. I've slowly been filling one of my Altoids tins with store-bought colors in half pans and I feel less pressure to have the colors everyone says one should have to start out because I'm getting the colors I'm going to use more often.

I got the sequel set of 24 from blick because I can add my own browns that I prefer, and a couple different blues. Looking forward to trying out my paints when they get here :) Enjoyed this video, thanks for sharing.

Lovely colors you selected for this palette! I will have to try a pan of that earth green-it looks like it rewets easily!

[@MysteryArts]

They all rewet very easily-but that one in particular rewets much easier than other brands in that color.

Ooooo I really love the Rose Quartz - I might have to get that color. I got the 24 set a few years back when it first hit WatercolorTube. I like them, got them for like a ridiculous price of 24 bucks, now I see they are about 50 now. White Nights are from Russia, they are also known at St. Petersburg. They are very different from Roman Szmal. They both are beautiful though and artist grade. I prefer the colors in Roman Szmal, but both are great. The reason why I like Roman Szmal is the color selection.

[@MysteryArts]

I think I still prefer the Roman Szmal-like you, mostly for their color selection-but the White nights/St Petersburg paints are a very good value for what you get.

[@CeitDeVitto]

@@MysteryArts the value is amazing

[@nadines.1107]

I love my St. Petersburg colors.

Loved watching you swatch these! I've been spending a lot of time online window shopping to build a custom palette with the White Nights and Roman Szmal colors recently haha. The pigment used for Naples Yellow Light is usually called Turner's Yellow btw. And I think you wrote PB29 for Cobalt Turquoise instead of PB28 by accident?

[@MysteryArts]

Adrienne Yu I noticed that snafu on the turquoise later-oh well. I have so many ultramarines that writing PB 29 was probably out of habit!

[@BoszoliChan]

I'm looking for solutions how other people stopped the paints from moving around in the metal box, because it really annoys me. Do you have good solutions? I'm thinking of glueing them in place 😂

[@MysteryArts]

I use magnets and sometimes earthquake putty.

[@BoszoliChan]

@@MysteryArts Oh earthquake putty is a very good idea! Thank you for answering 😊
