Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks so much!

There are a few different Shinhan series. In Korea, the best quality is called Artists Watercolor, but it's marketed as PWC outside Korea. It uses the highest quality of pigments and comparable to Winsor Newton Artists series or other top brands. Then there is "Professional" series which is low grade (student quality) with less pigment. Also, Shinhan makes a Korean traditional paint which I suppose you are referring to. It is more opaque and used for different techniques in painting.

Great deal, isn't it?

Yes I would say the Holbein Artists series is comparable. I can't vouch for all the colors but as far as basic colors like your Ultramarine Blue and Cad Yellow and such they are more or less interchangeable. I use them as well sometimes since I live in Korea and Japanese products are readily available here, but they are slightly more expensive.

@@andersonstudio3610 aah okay. thank you Anderson ☺️ from what i see both brands have similar names as well. I already have holbein artist watercolor set and love them but still would love to try other brands as well.. since holbein is kinda similar to swc, if you were me would you try shinhan or schmincke horadam? In my place there’s someone selling set of 12 color schmincke horadam with a good price.. so i am torn between trying out shinhan or schmincke horadam.. i havent find any comparison of holbein/shinhan to schmincke horadam..

Shinhan uses cadmium in several colors. Cadmium is not eco-friendly. You can substitute Permanent Red for Cad Red for example. They are close but not really the same color.

The main reason synthetics are recommended to beginners is due to the high cost of art materials. Like if you started to learn to play the guitar, you don't go out and buy an expensive one until you know you are going to stick with it for years. When I have a new student, I suggest they spend most of their budget on good quality 100% cotton paper. As you mentioned, you thought the paper was an issue with your painting problems. I agree, and that is the most likely reason new students struggle as they're using cheap paper. ... then 2 decent brushes and student grade watercolor paint. As far as having preference for synthetic or natural hair brushes, artists are all over the place. One person that has quite a large channel (The Mind of Watercolor) loves the Silver Black synthetics and I can recall several others who really like the DaVinci one you mentioned. Nowadays, there are very high quality imitation natural hair brushes and many artists are indeed satisfied with their performance. Still, 9/10 natural hair brushes(sable) will out perform any synthetic as far as how much water and paint they hold. It really comes down to what type of painting you do and what you require . Also, there are so many varying degrees of brushes, you need to find one that you like personally. For example the flat brush I showed in the video the Winsor& Newton Ox hair 3/4 inch flat is not an expensive brush, but it has been a favorite over the years. Anyway, you are the best judge for what you need or like.

@@andersonstudio3610 I know, I have to judge best. it's just, as a beginner, I didn't know, that there are different types of synthetic brushes and what exactly makes the difference, depending on what technique. that I didn't understand. a lot of people go for synthetics - no matter which quality - because it is a cruelfree option. that also plays a role. I just wanted to make the point, that I was frustratingly trying to copy something. I guess, flower motiv. and I didn't understand, why it looked so easy and soft, and mine didnt. and I was painting rather on a small scale. double sice of a postcard. till I got myself a very cheap and small (no 1?) petit gris from a rather cheap brand. a squirrel brush. than I understood, what a soft brush can do. different to those stiff ones, where I thouht, that would be good enough to learn. but it really was only good enough for two days (two evenings). and it was the brush, that came with the small starter set of Winsor and Newton. I guess, it is save to recommend to a beginner, to get two types of round brushes. otherwise one doesn't understand the difference. that was the point I was making. it still remains hard to decide, what not to buy. but to experience yourself, how different brushes can work, makes a difference.

Thabks so much...it had fun makibg the video

You can get the whole 32 color PWC set for about $120 or less. It's a bargain. I never really used Mission Gold so can't comment in detail about those. I can tell you that they are not nearly as popular over here in Korea.

Thanks so much. I appreciate it. I do have some other tutorials on youtube. Check out my channel.

@@andersonstudio3610 I did. And subscribed! Thank you again

If you have any questions about the brushes or other Korean supplies, I'm happy to help.

@@andersonstudio3610 Thanks! I was wondering if you've used one of those white goat hair flat wash brushes by Hwahong. I think it's a hake brush.

@@asim7255 Yes, they can be used for watercolor, but they are not the best in terms of control. They don't hold their shape very well after a few strokes. I also use those goat hair calligraphy brushes and it's the same issue with retaining shape. Not bad for more expressive work though...and cheap!

@@asim7255 If you have a pretty good ability in controlling your brushwork, you can learn to adjust and use them, but for beginners, I don't recommend them. Also, those are really intended to be used with ink in calligraphy and the hake is often used in methods to glue paper to a backing scroll. Goat hair doesn't hold much water but it's great for heavier mediums like heavier ink and such.

@@andersonstudio3610 Thanks for your advice. I'm actually looking for a brush that can quickly wet paper evenly or lay large wash of colours quickly. So far I'm using a medium to large round brush and an angular brush for that, I do have to go back and forth a lot.

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with Torchon or the Clairfontaine paper. Where are they made? Personally, I use either Arches, Saunders Waterford or Winsor-Newton papers. I live in Korea, so it's not easy to find some other brands.

I will be shooting videos in my studio later on when I do some oil painting tutorials. Just doing watercolor ones now. You're welcome to visit. I could probably use some tips on shooting.

Sounds good

Glad to hear!

Great. Hope she does!
