Couldn’t agree more! In my personal painting style I use lots of washes and lots of glazing/ layers.

Thank you for sharing Raeanne! I know other artists have had trouble with the animal sizing in the paper. I have heard some dogs love to snack on it because of the sizing. I have been exploring other cotton papers since I made this video and will look into Strathmores cotton paper.

I tried Strathmore 100% cotton paper. It came in a package of approximately index sized cards and it was well under $10. I forget how many there were, and I don’t know if this is the same material they use in their other cotton sizes. I’m not sure what the weight was but it didn’t feel flimsy. I was terribly disappointed! It almost felt hot-pressed b/c it had no discernible texture. Absorbance--Nada! Flow-Nothing moved! For a tight color & ink illustration, probably OK. So, a terrible 100% cotton experience for me . I’ve many different weights that I‘be tried thru the yrs. all from S. More. I bought a pad decades ago that had a virtual collection of their papers, at least 8 different types or more-from 140 to 300, hot press, cold, NOT, rough- & I bet the 300lb was cotton. But I was in my 20’s & had NO idea how much I would love to have that today! Anyway, if you can share the StrAthmore 100% c. paper that you like, I will give it a try. I’m just a beginner (still) but retired now and with the internet I may really learn something this time around . I have used S.M. w.c. Paper quite a bit in mixed media-usually chalk pastel over water washes & it can really hold a lot of layers. Very strong. But it is only for those like me who do strive for the velvet appeal of more traditional pastel work. ok,ok--I am seriously out of hear--sorry to bend ears--Learning to create is Such a turn-on! g’day to you..

@@brognaarts3266 that is ‘do not’ strive above^

thanks!

Rabbits are slaughtered for meat. If you don’t use the hides for something, they’d go to waste. No nobody has the power to stop people from eating rabbits. No rabbits are ever killed just for their hides. The hides are a byproduct. Therefore, not using rabbit-sourced sizing (basically gelatine) doesn’t save rabbits. You might boycott made-in-China products cuz they still eat dogs in many places there for example. Just saying. Cheers.

I believe some of the colors are slightly different. I know this set had sap green which I really wanted and the other set did not. I also went for the metal because I thought it was more environmentally friendly and may last longer.

@@brognaarts3266 Oh! Thank you for your answer! 😃And yes. I finally decided to buy this 34 pans palette. 😌 The shades are magnificent! 😄They are pigmented, vibrant but also so delicate.😚 Thanks again for your interesting and Amazing review!👍🏻😘

Wonderful! I hope you like the paper! I’ve found I prefer the cold press over hot press, but that’s just my personal preference.

It doesn’t quite buckle as much curves. It’s hard to describe. It’s more like the edges of the paper curve up? But I didn’t tape the Arches down the same way I taped the strathmore down.

Yes! They should be able to fit. I haven’t tried it myself with other brands full pans yet, BUT…The pans fit into a sort of metal row tray with a clip/ stopping at the back, and you can move that stopper around to accommodate for different pans/ snugness.

Yes. White Nights full pans are a bit smaller than regular full pans. With this tin you can fit 7 White Nights and 1 half pan per row, or 7 regular half pans.

Completely agree. I hate drawing on this paper because it’s such a rough dry textures. Sometimes I also find the paper eating or absorbing the water a bit too quickly. I make sure to keep everything wet while making large washes.

Half pans are 1.5 ml and standard full pans are 3-3.2 ml. White nights full pans are a bit smaller at 2.5 ml (almost like a 3/4 pan). The standard pan size is constant across brands like Winsor & Newton, Schmincke, DS etc. White nights, Yarka, Ladoga (all made by Nevskaya Palitra) use the 3/4 pan size.

@@fidgetyhuman thanks so much buddy!

Interesting 🤔 they looked very cloudy to me which is a weird way to put it I guess. I couldn’t tell if it was a white pigment variant in them or they were granulated but what you said may be the cause of that cloudy look I saw.

I find that each different paper serves me differently. And depending on what I am painting I will teach for a certain paper

@@brognaarts3266 Strathmore is great for still life painting.

Thank you 🙏 This one may be my favorite out of the froggy collection so far

Thank you so much Catalina ❤️

YEAH I am so glad! Thank you <3

Thank you Sam 🥰 I’m glad you like this froggy friend ❤️

Thanks Monique so grateful for the support!

Thank you Dan!! I find landscapes challenging so you got me there 😂

@@brognaarts3266 😆👍

Aw that’s so sweet of you to say. You brought a tear to my eye this morning. 🥺❤️ Always doing my best to spread joy through arts. Thank you for your support. It really means everything to me.

Yes! 😂I still find myself using the Strathmore quite a bit because I cannot bring myself to use the Arches all the time. Especially for smaller pieces. I defiantly need to explore more mid-grade options for paper.

@@brognaarts3266 hahnemuhle bamboo mixed media. I know I know.. mixed media sounds like a turn off but believe me.. its so beautiful

Thank you so much. Thanks very kind of you to say

Hi Edgardo! I hope you liked the video

That sounds amazing! I was surprised at how well they worked. I hope you are able to paint wonderful things with your new paints!

Aw thank you so much Chris! I will do my best to keep making content that people like! ❤️❤️

@@brognaarts3266 also, woof 🔥😂

Thanks for the comment Sam! I hope you found the video helpful ☺

Thank you Lei Anne! I’m glad you like it. 🥰

Thanks Jennifer! And that’s an interesting fact, thanks for sharing. 😊

Aw thank you so much! That’s incredibly kind of you to say. Arleesha is some one my biggest inspiration, I love her work. And thank you for your recommendation. I will do my best to show you more about my art journey.

Thank you so much! I’m glad enjoyed it and learned something along the way. 😂❤️

Of course! Thank you for watching!

Aww. Thank you so much! This makes my heart so warm. Your support means the absolute world to me! And you are too kind. I might just have to make my first "How to" video. Ha ha!

Aw thank you! I hope you enjoy the video. It’s premiering at noon EST today! Thank you for your patience, I know it’s been awhile since my last video. 🙈

Thank you Kirby! Can’t wait to share more with you! (Hopefully soon, but I need to get some commissions out of the way first) it really means the world that you would say that! ❤️

There is defiantly some extra room in the rows. I wouldn't say you could fit another full pan though. You may be able to fit another half pan but it will be a tight squeeze. But I do like the metal tin. You can take all the paint out easily to clean the case and move the colors around to whatever you would like.

@@brognaarts3266 Thank you very much for the quick and thorough answer! This helps a lot with planning my order for this tin and 'some' (:D) Roman Szmal pans. I really enjoy metal tins for the reasons you've listed!

@Selina Geiß Absolutely! Let me know if you have any more questions! And feel free to DM me on instagram if you'd like more info. I can send you pictures of the pallet. It is right next to me know. 😂 Also let me know how you like the Roman Szmal pans compared to the White Nights! I'd love to hear your opinion.

@@brognaarts3266 I actually don't own any White Nights colors, I just found the empty tin at Jackson's. But I'm definitely looking forward to comparing Roman Szmal and Schmincke!

@@yurinaka99 Ooo! Sounds great! Let me know what your findings are!

Hi Kubra! I am glad you like the video, thank you for watching. I haven't had too much time with the yellows in this pallet in particular but my go to yellow is usually a cadmium yellow medium for portraits of people with fairer skin. A lot of the yellows in this palette are fairly opaque which could be a problem to some depending upon the artist's painting style. I was having trouble with the Naples yellow because it was giving me muddy grey opaque mixes due to its opacity. This set does not have the white nights Hanza yellow, I believe that is in the 36 color set in the plastic case so I unfortunately cannot give you an informed opinion about that color.. As for the Auroleon yellow this is the most transparent out of the yellows in this particular palette and I have a feeling it will become my go to soon. It is a warmer yellow similar to the cadmium yellow medium, but not as opaque. This means it will have cleaner and more transparent mixes. As for the lemon yellow, it is a typical cool yellow, and will mix easily with blues to make nice green tones. But it is more opaque than other lemon yellows that I have tried from other brands. As for the reds in the pallet, I love the selection. You have both warm and cool reds and a larger variety of opacities. Of course the cadmium red is more opaque. I honestly really like the Rudy, Carmine, and the Madder lake red light. the Ruby is a cool red, the Carmine is more of a pinkish red and is really nice for pink flowers when diluted a lot. And the Madder lake red is a warmer red that is not as opaque as the cadmium red. Some of the other reds are warm and lean more to orange to me. I personally like to mix my oranges so I can get more specific and varied skin tones. I hope this helps, Please let me know if you have any more question!

@@brognaarts3266 Thank you very much for this elaborate answer. I really like White Nights. I bought some of the paints in tube and some of them in pans. I personally find blues very vibrant and effective. I have Bright Blue, Ultramarine and Indathrene Blue in tubes. I am not so sure about the earth colors. I think the best part of white nights is blues and reds.:) Besides it is cheaper than any other artist quality paints which are sold in Turkey. :)

@@kubrau93 Yes their price is unbeatable compared to other artist grade watercolors. I've had this palette for maybe 3 weeks now so I am still exploring what it has to offer. Happy to help!

Thank you Monique! If you do ever try them out feel free to ask me whatever questions you have. I am more than happy to help! ☺

Brogna Arts awesome ! Thanks so much Louis I will definitely ask!
