WC and soft pastels on top layer

But are they lightfast?

So great to see a video from you!! It was so lovely to see you swatch these. I'm safe from most W&N paints but I'm sure they have many collectors who will love these. Stephanie Davis 💗

I think the purple was my favourite colour too!

Mineral grey. I bought this set for the neutrals and have it together with some Jackman’s colours and a quirky primary triad. I am not sorry I bought it, there is always a place for me for low tinting colours and really vivid. I will probably get the aureolin hue at some point. While I love the transparency of watercolour I do not like unpainted spaces in my work. I have been painting a long time and agree it is more for experienced painters, though that purple just begs to be used!

Whole set wants to come to me, kinda...

I only have W&N watercolors, and I was really interested in your swatching of these new colors. I don’t think I could pick a favorite here. I think the two muted colors were beautiful, but a tad too pale, to be honest. It would have been nice to have a bit more pigment to play with. Thank you for the review 😊

These look amazing, I love that purple, its such a cute little palette ☺☺

The purple blew me away. How can it be that vibrant. Amazing! Thank you for this video 🙂

A fabulous chat video. I have hot, cold and rough paper sketchbooks, different sizes and brands. My sketchbooks are all a hodgepodge of subject matter. I have specific cheaper paper ones for online courses (techniques etc where I'm making quick sketches but lots of notes). I've been considering dedicating sketchbooks to specific subjects. I'm going to re-think that.

I love splashing in Cobalt Blue Turquoise into Moonglow I adore Quinacridone Deep Gold...it's part of my essentials palette. Helio Turquoise is gorgeous as well.

very amazing to watch swatches :) the purple and orange will make great color mixing :)

Thanks for the review, I’d rather buy the individual colours that I like from the range than have a set. The history is interesting, always enjoyable to see historical colours.

I'm glad they're open stock, the ultramarine ash is going on my wishlist.

WOW were is the phone box with flowers ?

That purple is almost a Royal Purple and would also make some beautiful violets.

OMG! Thank you so much for doing this! 🥹

Thank you

I've seen many reviews on this set and the ultramarine ash always steals my heart 💙

I was attracted to the Ultramarine Ash. Thank you for showing us this set.

The tyrian purple is giving me cobalt violet vibes - if it was really high chroma

Seeing a new video from you is always a good start to the day! 😊 As for my thoughts on these colours I think they likely would be very useful for some niche purposes as an 'add-on' palette to supplement a standard main palette. For me as a beginner I'll pass on all of them though I will be experimenting with mixing PV37 (or PV23) with PR202 as that colour is gorgeous, but I CANNOT justify *another* convenience purple 😆

I saw this set swatched out a few weeks ago and I can’t say I’m impressed. 😢I mean, we can easily get a washed out colour by using more water 🤷🏻‍♀️ As you said, it’s not well rounded. I like the Mineral Grey though 😊

I liked the Oswald grey the best. It is an odd set of colors to sell together

Ultramarine ash would be nice for painting snow

Love your reviews 🎉

I just placed an order for this set and I am most excited about the ultramarine ash. It looks like the perfect color for misty skies. I am looking for a cheaper alternative to my all time favorite sky color - Roman Szmal's lapis lazuli genuine. It is absolutely the most stunning gray blue I have ever come across. The price though... So I hope this will finally come close to my all time favorite. The other colors I'm also very curious about are mineral grey and ostwald grey. They look stunning too and as far as I can tell have a very nice granulation. I can't wait to get my set and play :-).

The purple

I think it’s a set for paint collectors not necessarily for artists. Maybe a colour or 2 open stock. Windsor and Newton are too pricey in Australia to buy paint that won’t get used.

I think this set is for people who already know what to do with it or for die hard collectors. I don’t know what to do with the set and neither am I a die hard collector 😂! I already have Tyrian purple by A. Gallo and PY40 from Jackson’s and I’m good for now. The set is a pass for me. Thanks for sharing. ❤ My favorite color is Tyrian purple. 🤩

I can't tell you yet what my favourite is. I haven't swatched mine yet but I can't wait to do that as I've been really curious about these colours. To me, this looks like a good add-on to an existing palette. I'm not sure I wanted to use only these colours for a painting, but I suppose it depends on the subject.

Thinking of tiny tiny little delicate blue flowers for the Ultramarine Ash. Mix that green with the grey for the stems....

Ultramarine Ash is pretty. Surprisingly, I like the orange a lot (orange isn't normally my favorite color, only in the fall, lol )😄

I would TOTALLY buy this set! I can think of all kinds of interesting things to paint with that as a standalone palette!!!! I love interesting colors and colors you wouldn't think to pair for paintings. Also, I'm glad that they don't have the Aureolin and Viridian substitutes in the set with the tubes. I personally have real Viridian by several brands which I prefer to the "hues" because of it's tinting strength and the way it behaves. The "hues" are just too bright or are just off. Same with the Aureolin. I have real Aureolin (yes it's a cobalt so it's toxic but I don't care) and I prefer it to the substitutes. BTW, the swatch they show of the Aureolin hue kinda looks like DS Chrome Titanate yellow, but doesn't remind me of real Aureolin at all.

Thanks for the review and swatching out this set! I ordered the other two colors and agree on the yellow individual Aureolin Hue tube and also like the Tyrian purple as well as the bright orange (like Roman Szmal's Brilliant Orange!) Got them for collecting purposes and agree they don't feel like a standalone set but fun to explore nonetheless. I have lapis ashes from Della Magna and so was prepared for the ultramarine ashes and agree wish they had included Lapis Lazuli. I also want a red (Cinnabar red hue?). Interesting grey's; PBk19 is great for urban landscapes with Stoneground Co's Titanium Grey.

3:20 My thoughts? Torches and pitchforks is what I think. First W&N discontinue PY40 and PG18, then they create a set made of run-of-the-mill modern pigments, and to add insult to injury, they have the audacity of naming it a revival set. The nerve they’ve got! I want PY40 and PG18. I haven’t bought W&N paints yet and PY40 and PG18 (specifically the W&N versions) were integral paints to the collection that I had in mind, but now I can’t get them. GRRRR 😡.

Thank you for swatching these! Now I know this is a set I definitely don't need. 😅 Even though the Tyrian Purple is pretty...

PBk19 is natural slate, as far as I know.
