White Nights were my first upgrade from Cotman... oh man did I see the difference!

[@bevroberts8440]

I am trying so hard to not buy more paint brands, but you are making it difficult with this beautiful tutorial!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you can paint along with what you have, no worries:)

[@bevroberts8440]

I meant that as a joke; guess I should have added "lol". I love that you always say in your tutorials, "but you can use what you have." :D)

[@adrianatapia9888]

I ordered this pallet like a week ago with 24 colors but I still have to wait a couple weeks for them to come. I'm so excited!! Thanks for the review!! You are one of my favorite artists!!

[@chrisweiher5314]

This is really fun to watch Lindsay. It's amazing to see what you can accomplish in under 20 minutes!

[@echubb03]

Just a quick tip I've learned- If you have a stained plastic palette, try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (or cheaper off brand) and it helps gets rid of the staining. :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Emily Chubb great tip! It also makes the paint bead up less

[@kashfiahare3190]

Thank you so much for all of your videos Lindsay! Love your passion and upbeat attitude, you are a huge part of my internet time :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

aww, thanks so much:)

[@anastasiiazh.9107]

I am painting with white nights :) in fact they are my first and so far last watercolors :D I am from Ukraine and in all eastern Europe everybody paints with St Petersburg watercolors. I was actually thinking that it is kind of bias in post soviet countries - to tell that white nights are the best :D and I wanted to buy something else because in almost all english speaking videos at youtube people use any watercolors but White Nights :D but after your review I can be sure they can compete with another as well :) thank you for this video! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

you are very welcome. I am glad I got a chance to try them because not everyone has access to the same supplies. Rest assured you have good paint:)

[@nadezhdabarylskaya9367]

Настя прошло 3 года, видишь ли мой комментарий, не знаю). Повезло нам с Ленинградской акварелью! Белые ночи, Невская палитра, Яркая - очень достойное качество и цена. Встретила твой комментарий, когда пыталась сделать заказ на акварель из... Вашингтона). Надеюсь, карантин не помешает. Не була вдома 25 років... Бережи, Боже, Україну! Вступись за нашу землю.

[@panibarcelona1935]

Just picked up my white nights. I didn't even know I bought paints for professionals. I only heard that they are good and expensive, at least for me. My way to get high-quality materials on a small budget is to buy second-hand ... It's great that I could see an honest review and paint the same watercolors with you at the same time. Ps. I was also on your Michaels classes today and it was fantastic. Forgive my lame English, but I am very excited and I absolutely wanted to write to you with thanks. So thank you very much! Big hugs from rainy Warsaw!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you so much (and your English is fine!)

[@ColleenM61]

Lindsay! You are causing me to have an addiction! You make everything look so fun that "I WANT! I WANT!" lol. I hope those freebies for reviews keep coming your way from manufacturers (smart move on their part )as I'm sure I'm not the only one that rushes to purchase some new and fun colors or supplies after watching you :)

[@susierisk2347]

Love the wildflowers & the way you did the Mason jar. Thank you for a fair review. I think these are going to be what I want to invest in.

[@suewilkinson910]

I’ve had my eye on these paints for over a year. Finally went for it today and ordered a set. The price on UK Amazon suddenly dropped and I was on it.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Nice! They also go by yarka st Petersburg here and they have a couple sets and I snagged the sequel set of 24 (no duplicates with this set) for $44 last year. They are a superb value!

[@TerrieJohnson731]

I have watched this many times. I took the tiny plunge and now have artist grade paints! I had been painting with Van Gogh. I cannot wait to use paint that has flow and texture! That is what I found sorely lacking in my paints. Also, when I did get texture from my Korean Shinhan, it is a weirs sort of snakeskin look that I cannot stand. I love wet in wet and I am having a painterly morning! Thanks for all of the brand demos! I really enjoy them and all of the info!

[@elizabethmacchi509]

Love when you paint mason jars!

[@mariagoumas6135]

Elizabeth Macchi oh I love this white night painting flowers want to learn n name of supplies painting etc

[@sandrapudoff]

Thanks for this review! I've heard great things about the white nights paint so I bought them. I have the Sonnet paints already and was wondering why the pans are both stamped St. Petersburg on the bottom. I was hoping I hadn't paid $50 for $20 paint. The white nights are my first artist grade paints so I have nothing to compare with. Your seal of approval is all I need to jump in and enjoy these paints!!😗

[@deardoilydudette5588]

I've done so many of your tutorials with my crummy 16 pan Mont Marte travel set and I like to live vicariously through you and all these beautiful paint options! Still, the practice I've gained from following along with you has been phenomenal.

[@patriciawilliams9972]

Love it as usual. I am a beginner with very very little natural talent so I am constantly working on my painting. Thanks for your wonderful tutorials.

[@speelstadkunstkotkinderfee1716]

This review is so usefull, thank you Lindsay! I've bought the white nights set of 24 and i love the vibrant colors. I submitted to your craftsy class last month and found that i needed some more vibrant watercolors than i have with my w&n cotman of 12. I am a beginner so mixing colors is not my thing. Not yet i mean. I am practising. In the mixed media class you use watersoluble crayons so i had to have those offcourse ánd watercolor pencils. I'm not sure if they were needed but i had tot have them. So i went online and found the White nights for a very good price. Because my budget is not too big i went for reeves watersoluble crayons(24) and koh-i-noor Mondeluz watercolor pencils also 24. They are my new treasures! Love these products. Your reviews on youtube have helped me a lot to choose my materials. Thanks again! Bye, Wanda

[@Joe_Maysky]

Very cool Lindsay! I know the purpose of this video was more product review than teaching, but for some reason this particular floral of your many helped me see/conceptualize how to get a reflected look in a vase or jar, to use watery paint in the jar and thicker paint on the flowers to get the transition of the opaque/semi-opaque flowers to the stems in water. Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Joe Maysky thanks Joe:)

[@teresab1341]

Very pretty Lindsay! Still like those colors! I remember them from the picture you painted of the trees from the canoe! Thank you! Those photos were gorgeous btw! What beauty!

[@watercolorgypsy7721]

I really love these paints, I got the 12 pan set from Jacksons art supply bc even with the shipping I found it to be the best price (I'm from the US). I bought them to bring around with me for when I just want to paint on the go, or whenever instead of carrying my more expensive sets around. They are outstanding for the value, just as good as any of my other artist quality paints. With the 12 pan set I can mix any and all my colors I need, they mix well without getting muddy. I did replace the black pan in the set with a magenta just because I always prefer to have a bright pink in my palette. Thanks for the review and tutorial Lindsay! Always love watching your videos everyday!

[@Eyes2C.]

Yay! I just got this set today! So excited to use them! Thanks for the demo and tutorial. 🥰

[@rhonda1631]

Wow, I'm impressed!! Especially for the price. Thank you and God Bless!!

[@azzuparis]

Thank you for this video Lindsay. Very useful 😊

[@serenity2288]

I have this exact palette, only with 36 colors, and it does stain from some of them - intense reds and blues mostly. The stains can be easily removed with a white eraser, though.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+serenity2288 thanks!

[@DrawingWithFire]

Great video & review Lindsay! 😆 Luckily I don't need any more watercolors...lol. 😉 Considering I just got 8 new tubes of Daniel Smith in the last week. I will slowly get all of the primatek. Oh, I got to hold my grand baby today! She is so beautiful and so small. 😇

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Valarie Connell /drawing with fire congratulations again Valerie! Enjoy the moments;)

[@shallremainnameless1998]

After resisting for more than a year I finally caved and bought some White Nights. But I didn't go for a set and chose only the most lightfast (3*) single pigment colours that I don't have in other brands. I got 9 in total. I put them in a small tin. They look a bit odd together not being the usual mix of cool and warm colours that usually make up a set but they compliment my other paints nicely.

[@roden70]

I have the 36 set and love it. You do see that you have to be lighthanded with the colours because they are so pigmented. For instance the clover is far to dark because of the pigment-water ratio. I had this too in the beginning. You have to adapt to this but they really are lovely paints and layer beautifully. The Russian green is my favourite green by far.

[@joyfulldj]

How are they mixing wise? Can you mix earthy tones or tone down easily with this pallet? I am new to artist grade paint so forgive me if I sound stupid: I am not to fond of to bright, I even tend to tone down my inktense,lol.

[@roden70]

+A .Vultink No worries, few questions are stupid. :-) Yes, you can tone these down perfectly just by adding lots of water. You then get very subtle washes in pastel colours. Mixing is great, especially if you choose as much single pigment paints as possible. Keep an eye on the colourwheel to avoid mud and you'll be fine! These are more easy to tone down than the Inktense.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+A .Vultink these are bright but yes you van add water:) try a couple of pans if they are affordable to you and see. I recommend the Cadmium's as they are beautiful test priced the same as others. I would avoid the earth colors tho if buying single pans.

[@joyfulldj]

On my to buy list. Thanks :P

[@MrsTiffanyGrey]

Thank you, Lindsay! My White Nights set paints started to feel so grainy after awhile. 😯 I like the colors but it's not the first pallet I grab anymore.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Tiffany Grey huh, I have some old yarkas and not had they happen. Any particular colors?

[@cardsbypanda]

Loved this review and love all your videos.

[@jillbartos8893]

Thanks so much for doing this tutorial, it was alot of fun and chock full of new techniques for a beginner like me.

[@przykran]

ahh my favourite watercolours! I have the 24 set in a plastic palette too and I actually really like the palette, dunno why people hate it so much! here in Poland they are 160 PLN for the 24 in a plastic palette set, which would be about 40 USD (36 colours is for ~57,5 USD) and the individual pans are usually for about 8 PLN (2 USD) I've noticed that many art supplies here are way cheaper (or just a bit cheaper, haha) than in the US or the UK (mainly coloured pencils though, like Derwent or Koh-I-Noor); I love watching you paint the mason jars ;)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Julia Z thank you:)

[@annecasillas5402]

I do so love this painting, all my favorites: wildflowers and canning jars, sigh.....

[@susanbanks1234]

Beautiful demo, I bought the white night because they seem to be the cheapest artist quality paint around. Just need the talent to go with them, I'll keep trying.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I am sure you have it, just need a little practise!

[@susanbanks1234]

thank you

[@cynthiarichter792]

Thanks so much for this info video. I have ordered these paints but have not gotten them yet. Can't wait!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Cynthia Richter you will love them!

[@MaysiArt]

Great video :-) I got the white nights, too and really like them.

[@monalcreates]

Pretty painting Lindsay!! I just got my Van Gogh watercolors a few days ago, still need to try them out and maybe something like this will be a great first painting with my new colors! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Mona L sure!

[@paulage1art]

Thanks for the review! Just received my set of 36 in case like yours from Russia for $49 thru Amazon - great price on beautiful watercolors! Paula in Florida

[@thefrugalcrafter]

good deal!

[@pocahontassmith59]

so which is ur most favorite watercolor paints /pencils/markers? did u do a video of ur favorites?

[@joyfulldj]

Well after research I placed my order just now. You can't beat this set (w/o pallet) I'll just use a mixing plate,lol, for25 euro :) - oh what the hell, I can make my own pallet from a really cute tin pen box.

[@bethanykolander2498]

When you are comparing Gansai Tambi you say 'these' are much more translucent and vibrant, but I can't tell if you are tapping on the Gansai or displaying the White Knight. The Gansai are more translucent and bright correct?

[@Cherrybl_29]

No, she meant the white nights

[@creativejourneys2789]

Thank you!!!! I got this set on my wish list on Amazon ..wasn't sure if I should buy or not. 😊

[@coldmountainpix]

You will LOVE these!!! They are my favorite, even before Daniel Smith- I love the huge pans, the vibrant colors and the price!! The paint pans look like bright candies when you unwrap them all- I was able to get the 36 pan set for around $50.

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

I love your color charts ~ I never made any ., dr.Ph Martin pure radiance are FUGITIVE 🙀 All my glass bottle colors turned to watery black ☠️ But to be fair, dr Ph Martin lists the pure radiance line for graphic design use ( camera ready ) in other words, for reproduction work, not for art projects. I was so in love with those little glass bottles ... 😍 Love your watercolor flowers in the glass bottle .. 😚🥳😇

[@aliiljah8224]

This is Soooooo Pretty

[@rose-mariemeadows7472]

Love the review, I have the same set colours are lovely.

Sweet painting Lindsay

[@natashakejriwal2286]

Is the 12 pan set ok for a beginner?

[@ianjackson5834]

for the price you can not go wrong with this by the two tests you have done. looking at there UK shop and they have some great stuff. thanks Lindsay

[@thefrugalcrafter]

and they have single pans for $3.50 if you want to try a few colors. They are a steal!

[@Sadin15]

I use these colors. they are amazing

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks! I agree, I think I need to get some more colors and fill my box LOL!

[@LynnGalvanHippie-Chick]

Was wondering if you could possibly show how to draw this out for a beginner? Thank you. It’s beautiful

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have lots of mason jar tutorials with sketching it out.

[@mapeandrews3951]

When you talk about Selenier paints do you actually mean Sennelier or a new brand?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Mape Andrews yes, am always saying it wrong:)

[@ChugMSM]

Hi Lindsay, I am thinking about buying these paints. I prefer not to use cadmium paints, and I would like to replace them with my own pans. Would you be able to tell me the dimensions of the whole pans? There is no info about them on the internet, and I’m not sure if they are just regular whole pans. Thanks!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are actually a touch smaller than standard full pans. If you are using the white nights palette it might not fit. You may need to buy white nights pans.

[@ironwraithful]

this 24 set on etsy was 45 bucks ... on amazon you can get a set of white night 36 colors, for 49.13 ... not the same box though ... hope that helps

[@SorrensSorrow]

I went with the 24 in a box, no palette because; full pans 20 bucks! Love them. Oh and I got them on eBay iirc. Here's hoping the don't ever realize just how good these are and raise the price on us lol

[@thefrugalcrafter]

hahaha:) I hate it when that happens:)

[@irashishonkova8626]

we don't usually grab it right from the pad. They're too strong for that. We mix it with water on palette first.

[@minetteh1001]

Thank you again I found what I was looking for in your videos. Do you have cleaning tips for get stain off the palette.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Another great review......! TFS

[@ghazalkhan4947]

Woww adorable. .fabulous

[@maryannhuber7619]

These White Night paints are beautiful. I feel that many products from countries where English is not strongly in use are almost ignored or automatically given quite cursory reviews by some reviewers. Thanks for taking the time to do a fair review. I enjoy all of your videos but I ask you to try to speak a little more slowly. Sometimes when you are trying to get a lot of information out in a short time, it is almost impossible to understand you without replaying it several times. Please try to slow down.

[@raquelsanchez9668]

Yes. She talks very fast, I even read the automatic subtitles, I do not understand her well. I also read the comments to complete the impressions of it. They are very useful.

[@zainabn.4636]

For white nights, there are two palettes with 24 colors, but one palette is bigger and thats the one you got. Should I get the bigger one or the smaller one? Thank you for the review! it was very informative and helpful!

[@creativejourneys2789]

Marvelous Mir Get what ever you can afford...you will use them all..😊

[@zainabn.4636]

Thank you for the advice!

[@joyfulldj]

The difference is in full or half pans. If you like big brushes, I'd go for full pans, difference will be in price, eventhough full pan is still quite a bit more cheaper then other artist paint.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Marvelous Mir I think they only make full pans and tubes. I think there us a 24 set in a palette that holds only 24 pans or, what I have, 24 pans in a palette that can hold 36. If you plan on getting more Colo e get the bigger palette

[@TuxieTude]

Hi Lindsay, I have this set but I no longer have the little wrappers they came in. Which green is the Russian green that you are talking about? Thank you!! This is beautiful. :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

it is gark and earthy, it looks like a hookers green instead of a teal or emerals green

[@kookatsoonjan]

PG8...very rare colour...only in this brand...dark green..earthy, but not so much...very cool colour..buy it...from Jackson arts ..you will be happy with it..

[@Smoll_Beanie]

do these paints look muddy when you mix the colours? Thanks in advance! :)

[@Smoll_Beanie]

Or do they just lose their vividness?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

they mix cleanly and stay bright but you can make any color neutral by mixing in the complementary color.

[@Smoll_Beanie]

I couldn't find the information about which colours are mixtures and which ones are not. where can I find the information exactly? Thanks for replying! :D

[@bastet469]

I like the Keratake Gansai Tambis but What was the name of the other set of Japanese watercolors you used in the comparison? I couldn't hear the name very well and could only see part of the name on the swatch sheet. The last 4 letters were 'sabe'. I thought you might have said Kurasabe but I couldn't find a brand with that name on Google.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+bastet469 Neo watercolor from kusakabe

[@sfoss9470]

Do you think the white nights would hold up in a hot car for a travel pallet?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They get a bit sticky. Make sure you store them level.

[@sfoss9470]

@@thefrugalcrafter thank you you’re the best❤️

[@nancyglatz7378]

Can you link the color you used from this pallette

[@joyfulldj]

These are quite cheap over here, I actually am concidering buying it. (Less then 3 euro per pan, 1E90 to be precise,woahh ) I am more of a earthy tone color girl: but for this price you can't beat it: I'm quite sure price will go up so I'll make sure to buy me some next month,lol. What sold me was your side by side with M Graham (Specially since M Graham can cost up to 8 euro per tube here: I must order that in the uk when I want that, M Graham doesn't sell in the netherlands, better look REEEEEEALLY sweet & innocent to our @spindoctor if I want those,not sure if I can manage the innocent look,lol ). Can you do a painting with M Graham & these side by side?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+A .Vultink any difference would be minute and might not show up on camera. If they are cheap try a couple singles.

[@billesummers1070]

I found the 36 pan of these on Amazon for $49. Not a bad deal. About $1.50 a pan.

[@ImmaT0p]

lindsay i recently bought a new palette from Rigger Arts for my tube paints, but the palette beads up my water. i tried using those kitchen sponge to rub the palette but it only left scratches and the water still beads up what can i do? ;;

[@joyfulldj]

I had that with my cotman studio pallet. Try using a babywipe and use kitchen towel after that to dry it. Beadingup usually means there's some residu of something on it.

[@ImmaT0p]

i'll try that, thankyou :)

[@ImmaT0p]

A .Vultink omg it worked THANKS SO MUCH

[@joyfulldj]

Hahahaha I use them to clean stamps and clear blocks too,lol. Yw, glad it helped :) Bonuspoints: Nice smelling hands for free,grin.

[@joyfulldj]

I put one & one together when I heard Lindsy saying she prepped new stamps with beading ink with these wipes. Figured it only made sence: If they need to seal pallets that you get some fabric residu with it. Think of it like Gel nails; you have to wipe them of before they are not sticky & ready for use.

[@winelover215]

The pallet looks like the WN Cottman set you have.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+winelover215 it is larger and the slots are a bit wider sine there is a slight difference in pan sizes.

[@elsagrace3893]

I will spray the mixing area with white enamel paint and it will be fine! I just got all 3 sets from Jerry's during a sale

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+elsa Grace cool! Is there overlap in colors? Does the set I have here have a name or number?

[@elsagrace3893]

There is a lot of overlap in the colors. In one palette 4 colors listed were missing. I'm there place was another 4 not listed on the package. I do t mind because I'm not missing any exiting color that I wanted. It kind of looks like you have the Original. Second guess is the Expanded. It's hard to tell because both have so much doubling of colors. (The third is The Sequel) The colors a bright. I am satisfied with that. I noticed in comparing Yarka pigments with M Graham for the last several hours 🙄 that many pigments in M Graham are totally absent in these 3 Yarka palettes. I assume the low price is due to lesser quality pigments in terms of lightfastness. Same colors to the eye but different materials. I've only been at watercolor for 3 months. Mostly with Reeves so I have no reference for pigment behavior on paper but very soon I will because I've got an order out. 🤗

[@ironwraithful]

I think its funny when ppl say that aquafine is bad, yet i'm a fairly new painter and have an aquafine set and I've been able to pull off realistic paintings ...

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+ironwraithful do you have the pans or tubes? I was unhappy with the tubes.

[@ironwraithful]

half pans ... bout the best I could afford at the time. On the other end of the spectrum I was told Koi was great, but I didn't really care for it, the colors when dried looked very dull and I had to go over the whole painting w/ a different set of paint to brighten it up.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I haven't tried the pans and the tube I have are old so I did not review them in case they changed. Glad to hear the pans are nice:)

[@wanderback]

Are the pans a normal size? Can they be placed in a different palette?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I don't see why not

[@wanderback]

@@thefrugalcrafter okay! I guess i'm confused about this whole whole pan size thing. it seems to be universal only to an extent which makes me think only full pans that are the "standard size" can be put into any other palette that holds full pans. But what about the non standard size ones?

[@pennypan3708]

Hi, Lindsay, have you ever bought something and the content is totally different from what you bought? All of you get the correct 524 (indanthrene blue) while I get the 521 Ultramarine Deep in my white knight 36 pan set . I email Russia White Knight about this and hope it wont happen to anyone else. (I cant return the whole set to the seller because when I found out the issue it was already 2 months pass by (I was in biz trip oversea and my family didn't unbox and check it for me XD)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I have received the wrong color in a set before (daniel smith) and I took a photo of what I got and told them what was missing and they replaced the tube. I think most companies would mail you the missing color.

[@barbaraeddings2274]

I love this tutorial. Always loved to put flowers in a little mason jar. I watch each tutorial you have and am a devoted follower. You are a gifted teacher !! I will try harder to take time for myself and play with my watercolors, One year on Saturday, Dec. 22, 2018 will be the first anniversary of my son's death. It has been a very hard year, I will try to play with my watercolors during this weekend. Thank you Lyndsey . 💖

If the worst we get on a video from you is a paint name mispronounced, I think we are fortunate indeed! At least we all know you mean Sennelier even if you say it wrong. I guess that shows that we watch your videos.
