Maries is good for landscaping due to intense color and more earth tones color option. It is better than Prima Confections tropical, imo. Same sila ng Vibrancy and color dispersion. I suggest buy Maries for intense colors and just buy additional colors: Cerulean and Lemon Yellow to maximize the colors in the color wheel, and you've got yourself a tipid hacks 36 colors XD
hahahha. that's actually cool and a great suggestion. this maries set lacks cool yellow and cool blue. getting from other brands like cotman or prima won't really hurt especially if the artist dont bother mixing brands jn his palette. 🎨☺️
Another videos FULL of excellent information. I love how you know your pigment color coded by heart that’s amazing and also extremely helpful when, like in this video, companies are essentially “mis-naming” pigments. I wouldn’t have known their Viridian was actually Pthalo Blue-Green Shade like you did, but now I do!! I’m gonna make notes!!
hi MrG. Nibs. thank you for recognizing my efforts and OC-ness about pigments. hahaha. i was myself a 'victim' of misnamed paints so back then i was wondering why for example, this 'viridian' was so staining while on this other brand, it wasnt.. also because of reasearches like in handprint.com, i learned that a real viridian is pg18, granulates and doesnt stain unlike pthalo green BS, PG7. it took me some time. actually, i didn't intentionally memorize it and i once hated technicalities. but here i am, sounding like alien to some. 😆
Thank you for making this video. Love that you've put so much hard work and references in your review. I've made a special save file for you just so i can review in future and share with my friends.
Thanks for this review. I started watercolour painting about 6 months ago and invested in artist grade paints and got cheaper watercolour paper. I tried arches for the first time a couple weeks ago and now realise that the paper is way more important so that's where I'm going to spend my money. Just purchased the ultramarine blue. Looking forward to using it. Thank you 🙏
the best paper and any good watercolor is always the best combo. im happy for your realization. paper is actually more expensive to invest that's why it can be more vital. thank you too and happy painting.
Thank you so much! I'm fairly new to watercolor so this seems like a good way to experiment with a color here and there, especially the single pigment colors. I may grab some earth tones too, for value studies and sketching!
What a fabulous comparison with other sets you have. I loved the sample painting you made for both Marie's and Camel ( I am from india) . Somehow your sample painting makes me very convinced of the marie's set! Camel is the cheapest in the world without doubt! However, the availability of Marie's in india is a super expensive affair so its not comparable sadly. I wish i can still get my hands on them one day! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you ila. Maries Master's edge over Camel for me is mainly the pigment info. The camel colors are really good especially the ultramarine and prussian blue. I am really interested to try these paints out more, and explore all their colors, however when I contacted them, they told me they're not shipping to the Philippines.. i guess i would need to hoard if i get to visit India soon. 🙏 This maries set by the way is rare, and it might be really hard to find and if one finds one, shipping is expensive.. so, i think you can checkout other cheap and good brands like Paul Rubens that's more available. 🙏☺️🎨
Marie's student grade paints were one of the first sets that I purchased, so I would love to try these someday. I'm curious about the way they dry, did you notice craking? are they rewetable? thank you for the lovely review ^^
I have not tried putting them on pans but i definitely will this year. 😉 As per the excess paints in the mixing palette, it looks like it's drying very fine. They're rewettable. What's wrong with cracking? I think it's normal cause ive experienced it in some Daniel Smith colors and even in other honey brands like sennelier esp phthalos and earth colors. Unless, the cracking you were pertaining is the type that turns the paints to a rock-like state? Or like powdery cracking that it loses moisture it gets out of its pan? Well that's really bad. 😉
Oh Roman Szmal, yes!! I will review it this year. But i will need wait for few more weeks or months because i have more colors to be added to my existing 33 colors. But here's a tip, i love them so much and they remind me so much of Daniel Smith. 🎨🙏😉
@@AllanJayQuesada Woah, I'm excited already! I'm glad that you enjoy them too, for now I have only 7 colours (and 9 more are coming) but I really love them and I'm curious what you will say about them.
Good day po :) I've been eyeing this line for a while, so I was excited to see this review haha. Glad to know they are good quality for the price. Thank you for all the reviews so far, its very much appreciated. Will consider this line when some of my colors run out. Keep up the good work sir :)
I used to have Marie's Tube and Half pan, kinda love certain colors like Prussian Blue, Gamboge, Brilliant Violet (so intense color). I work at local artshop and help beginner/hobbyist artist to buy a watercolor and supply for beginners (Marie's is my suggestion to start watercolor painting). I also aware that Marie's product have a range. I wish to get that Marie's Master Watercolor as my collection 😍😍
Hi Dank, thank you for sharing your experience. I have started using the Marie's (student grade) back in grade school and that time, I believed it was sooo good, without knowing there are so much more paints that are better. I learned alot using the Marie's paints. I believe the Master's is available now at some online stores, depending on where you come from. They come in sets that are more practical to get, price wise.
Ah, what a suprise that you reply my comment. Anyway, the Artshop I work have a new design package Marie's Watercolor tube (probably new batch or something) but the color still same as old. The design look nice and simple rather than old version. shopee.com.my/product/80755799/9707652493/ I dont know if Oil Paint store have Marie's new design package or still old package. By the way, I forgot to say Hi 🖐🖐🇲🇾
@@dankdrake465 hello. So you're from Malaysia. Selamat pagi! Marie's love updating their packaging. I've seen many transformations in 10 years. I think the one you send is the newest, and at the Oil Paint Store, they have the older design.
Ya, Selamat Pagi. I guess it is really new batch and according to my boss, all Marie's product they order directly from Marie's Manufacture (most popular is Acrylic Paint and it took 1-2 month wait the color process and restock all Marie's paint/mediums) and the shop is also have wholesale (for artist and small artshop, stationery shop). Sorry if my english is not perfect. Im so happy when you do a review Marie's Master watercolor and color swatches.
I saw that Owen set in Shopee, and yes, it looks like the student grade of PRubens, But there is an actual student grad eof paul rubens. They come in tubes with sky blue cover. the artist grade tubes of paul rubens are covered in dark blue paper. I have contacted the seller of the owen watercolors in Shopee.. and im considering on trying them out. :)
I have some left over paints at the palette from the review, and when i tried rewetting them, they were absolutely fine and rewettable.. if you're pertaining to the painting if the colors are liftable, i havent tried it yet but i think most colors will rewet or activate easily.
I check on the pigment code of all 43 colors from this line and find out most of them have excellent lightfastness，and two of them good. Really impressive.
Thank you for sharing these information. I actually love this line of Maries, because they really give have a professional vibe when i use them. I just feel sad that the color selection in my country is limited. Like i whish i had here a phthalo blue. For the price, i think they're the best. It's the cheapest artist grade tubes ive reviewed so far. 🙏🎨

Hello, thank you for this review! I am an absolute beginner, so apologise for my silly question. What tape did you use to give your painting a nice border? Is it regular masking tape?
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you for your quick response! One more question, please. What pen/marker do you usually use for drawing the boxes on your swatch cards, and also the thick black lines inside the boxes?
Good review as usual. One question- have you ever done a review of artist grade Sennelier? Or even their non artist? It would be nice to see them compared with others. If you have can you please tell me which video in your list? Thanks, hope you’re safe and well.
Hi Victoria. Sennelier is one of those brands are super love. It is in my top5. 😍 I have not made a review of it yet though, as well as the MGrham cause ive been thinking of completing their tubes first. I currently have 70+ of the 90+ Sennelier. Hahaha. But I might review one of the sets soon. 😉 I did use my Sennelier in my Portraiture tutorials (except for the smiling Jesus) and in Wreath floral and Moth orchid demo. 😉🎨 If you're thinking how it fairs with other brands, it fairs pretty high. They're very translucent and layers best. 🎨🙏
Is there a difference between the masters watercolors and their regular ones? I own the regular ones and I've been enjoying them quite a lot and I'd like to know if this is a different product then the one I already have
Yes there is a huge difference. This set i reviewed is the professional grade and theyre more pigmented. There is also a wider choice of colors with some technical information such as pigemnt code and lightfastness rating.
Just going by your "this is what's comparable" line up, I don't know if I'd consider them artist grade. They seem pretty firmly student grade. Upper student grade, but still student.
haha. yes, comparing and leveling it to the student grade paints are my most subtle way to say that they are,...student gradish paints, like Camlin. But yeah, really not bad for the price. :)
Hi guys. I have just found a supplier of this paints and put some on my Shopee Store for those who'd like to try them out. Per tube costs only 50-60+ pesos, even cheaper than how much I got it before at The O.P Store. 👇 shopee.ph/product/41980518/6865065054?smtt=0.41981904-1606276055.9
Maybe the white be the best white available. Didn't know Marie's had this line. Once i purchased a false brand from a shop. It's labelled Lukas-Marie's. Love the real Marie's for sumi.
@@gildejesus3714 i just saw it. I know Lukas brand. It's a German brand. I have their artist grade paints (Lukas 1862) reviewed here. It's interesting to know that they've partnered with Maries.
You're welcome. Similar colors from both brands have comparable vibrancy. But since White Nights have wider color range (they have 108), they have more colors to offer. Overall, id still choose White Nights.
@@AllanJayQuesada ohhhh:0 thank you so much. I am using set of 12 Marie's Masters tubes and I feel their color selection in set of 12 tubes seems so... like muted ( invibrant?). Thus, I was about to buy a set of 24 tubes, but I was confused between White Nights and MMasters. And when you told me this, I decided upgrading, MMasters 24 tubes, yeee:D. Since I don't mind about the dispersion, lightfastness, etc. but only vibrancy, I chose MMasters because of the price, both WNights and MMasters are affordable but MMasters is still cheaper you know:D. Finally, thanks for your advice, it helps me really much:3 Have a nice day
I buy the vibrant colors from MM and fill the rest or more unique color from White Nights, like Perylene Violet, Indian Gold, or their recent collection.
Hola amigo! Me gustó mucho la comparación. Aunque no hablo inglés y tuve que leer y ver a la vez😅 😊 Las acuarelas masters, las catalogas como profesionales o nivel estudiantil académico? Cuál son mejores, las Paul Rubens académicas o las masters? Gracias de antemano😊🎉
Hi Lorena. Gracias. 🙏 i have reviewed only the professional and 4th generation sets of Paul Rubens. I have not experienced using their student grade, so I can not say which is better. Although, the Marie's Masters perform well, I'm afraid I can not recommend it as professional grade as many of the pigments, particularly in reds and yellows, are fugitive. It would be better to choose professional grade with identified pigment information if your concern is overall quality and longevity of your paintings. 😊
Their professional 48 pan set was garbage. It claimed professional, but was really subpar student grade. Their tubes seem better, but I'm still not sure if they are artist grade - but he price is at least of student grade in america.
Is their pans set the once placed in a plastic palette and has a ceramic tray? I have tried the cheaper tubes and the pans set, but those were less performing than this, the masters. However i still think, this masters is only comparable to some good student grade paints.. 🎨🙏
@@AllanJayQuesada Yep (www.jerrysartarama.com/marie-s-professional-half-pan-watercolor-set), also came with a really cheap flat brush that shed 1/3 of it's hairs while swatching.
I'm bummed about the unnecessary multiple pigments, but very impressed with the way they can go from super vibrant to lovely pale washes. You tend to get one or the other at that price point.. paints that are wimpy no matter what and ones that are super bright but fall apart into a mess with a lot of water.
By saying bar, yoh mean yung solids / pans? most of the time, id go for tubes. Economy wise, mas matipid siya. And you can pour them naman sa pans and dry them if you want them to be portable. ng mganda sa ready made pans is that may lalagyan and instant na. Although, need to remember, hjndi lahat ng brands may same formula. Like sa winsor and newton and sennelier. Iba ang formula sa tubes vs sa pans nila.
salamat po sa reply 😍 alin po better na watercolor f ever? Iniisip ko kasi white nights or mijello, newbie lang po ako, pero plan ko mag take commission in the future :)..
@@mitchiearts welcome po. parehong maganda. Kung may chance to get the tubes of Pure Pigment Set, the better. Sobrang dami mo na magagawa sa 15ml tubes na 24 colors plus 2- 7ml nila. Puwede mo naman ihandpour if you want. Sa 15ml na tube, mga 5 na halfpans na malalagyan mo.. 😉
Hmmm.. I always suggest artist grade brands, but if transparency is your main concern, brand doesnt actually matter.. but the pigment. In any brand, all cadmium yellows are opaque.. and all phthalo blues are transparent. What i would suggest you to do is to identify the pigments that are transparent, semi transparent and opaque. the purpose of the black line in my swatches is to show the transparency of the paints. Some paints (usually the cheaper paints and student grade paints) will have opaque colors even to pigments that should be transparent) because of extenders or "chalk". You may also check out my video of the top 40 pigments to see which pigments are worth investing to. :)
They provided ratings for lightfastness and the pigment codes as well. the selected pigments are fine. however, i have not conducted my own tests yet. in time, i will. :)
There is no Pandayan store here in Las Pinas, I wonder where the nearest branch is.. but maybe i can checkout after thee quarantine. Thanks for the suggestion po! :)
@@rennierdalisay9478 naku.. may mga nagbebenta ng papel sa FB, pero di COD yun eh.. sa shopee usually may COD, kaso baka sa China pa galing, matagal pa dating nun.. pacheck nlang.
yeah, i agree. Also the price is affordable for students. But why don't you try this on another kind of paper like canson Montval? I really really want to know the result
@@huongdinh8719 i have tried it casually on cheaper papers but didn't have any problems. Maybe there's another factor to the experience of the artist you saw.. that, we're not sure.
Hello. There are lots of good watercolors that are cheap like Superior and O.win, but i would recommend student grade paints that provide pigment codes and that uses lightfast pigments. Good Sets with reasonable price are Sonnet and Marie's Masters. Sonnet 16 and 24 colors sets in full pans are less than 1000php. Maries masters 12 colors in 9ml tubes are also less than 1000php. White Nights artist grade paints are also one of the most affordable as the 12 colors full pan set is only 1500php.
@@EarlsArt hmm. Tingin ko legit siya kasi mas maganda pa ung performance niya sa ibang brand na kilala. Actually, nakita ko ung Masters na name sa website nila, pero walang picture.

tui có bán marie's master chiết lẻ giá rẻ nha mn
I hope i could buy from you.
Is there a difference between the masters watercolors and their regular ones? I own the regular ones and I've been enjoying them quite a lot and I'd like to know if this is a different product then the one I already have
Yes there is a huge difference. This set i reviewed is the professional grade and theyre more pigmented. There is also a wider choice of colors with some technical information such as pigemnt code and lightfastness rating.
Maybe one day you'll do a viedo where you just flip through your swatchbook, kinda like a sketchbook tour.
Yeah, that's a great Idea for a yearend content. tHanks, Heidi.
Just going by your "this is what's comparable" line up, I don't know if I'd consider them artist grade. They seem pretty firmly student grade. Upper student grade, but still student.
haha. yes, comparing and leveling it to the student grade paints are my most subtle way to say that they are,...student gradish paints, like Camlin. But yeah, really not bad for the price. :)
For the price of RMB73 (USD10), 24 x 9ml, amazing value! And they perform better than Cotman
Hi guys. I have just found a supplier of this paints and put some on my Shopee Store for those who'd like to try them out. Per tube costs only 50-60+ pesos, even cheaper than how much I got it before at The O.P Store. 👇 shopee.ph/product/41980518/6865065054?smtt=0.41981904-1606276055.9
Maybe the white be the best white available. Didn't know Marie's had this line.
Once i purchased a false brand from a shop. It's labelled Lukas-Marie's.
Love the real Marie's for sumi.
hmmm. i havent seen lukas maries and sumi yet. im curious.. 🤔
yes this line is so rare i cant find it elsewhere but it TOPS. hehe
@@AllanJayQuesada you could give me a email? I would send you a photo of this. In fact strange things happens on these materials.
@@gildejesus3714 hmm. Sure. Here. allanjay_quesada@yahoo.com
@@AllanJayQuesada i hope it came to you now. Of i could put in the transference box could make it public.
Cheers
@@gildejesus3714 i just saw it. I know Lukas brand. It's a German brand. I have their artist grade paints (Lukas 1862) reviewed here. It's interesting to know that they've partnered with Maries.
Sir kamusta po lightfastness nya?
Huh they remind me of the mission gold 36 set.
visually, they may look the same, but the texture and specs are far apart. :)
Which one is better between maries and pentel? 🤔
Maries if its this Maries Masters. :) cause there's a Maries set that's a lower grade..
Thanks for your review
You're welcome. Similar colors from both brands have comparable vibrancy. But since White Nights have wider color range (they have 108), they have more colors to offer. Overall, id still choose White Nights.
@@AllanJayQuesada ohhhh:0 thank you so much. I am using set of 12 Marie's Masters tubes and I feel their color selection in set of 12 tubes seems so... like muted ( invibrant?). Thus, I was about to buy a set of 24 tubes, but I was confused between White Nights and MMasters. And when you told me this, I decided upgrading, MMasters 24 tubes, yeee:D. Since I don't mind about the dispersion, lightfastness, etc. but only vibrancy, I chose MMasters because of the price, both WNights and MMasters are affordable but MMasters is still cheaper you know:D. Finally, thanks for your advice, it helps me really much:3 Have a nice day
I buy the vibrant colors from MM and fill the rest or more unique color from White Nights, like Perylene Violet, Indian Gold, or their recent collection.
Mah REES’ Watercolor
Yes. 😊
Hola amigo! Me gustó mucho la comparación. Aunque no hablo inglés y tuve que leer y ver a la vez😅
😊 Las acuarelas masters, las catalogas como profesionales o nivel estudiantil académico? Cuál son mejores, las Paul Rubens académicas o las masters? Gracias de antemano😊🎉
Hi Lorena. Gracias. 🙏 i have reviewed only the professional and 4th generation sets of Paul Rubens. I have not experienced using their student grade, so I can not say which is better. Although, the Marie's Masters perform well, I'm afraid I can not recommend it as professional grade as many of the pigments, particularly in reds and yellows, are fugitive. It would be better to choose professional grade with identified pigment information if your concern is overall quality and longevity of your paintings. 😊
Muchísimas gracias por la respuesta 🎉 ya me suscribí, muy útil tu canal🎉🎉🎉 gracias
@@lorenamarrerogonzalez2134 it's my pleasure to be of help. And many thanks for watching and for subscribing to my channel. 🙏
Their professional 48 pan set was garbage. It claimed professional, but was really subpar student grade. Their tubes seem better, but I'm still not sure if they are artist grade - but he price is at least of student grade in america.
Is their pans set the once placed in a plastic palette and has a ceramic tray? I have tried the cheaper tubes and the pans set, but those were less performing than this, the masters. However i still think, this masters is only comparable to some good student grade paints.. 🎨🙏
@@AllanJayQuesada Yep (www.jerrysartarama.com/marie-s-professional-half-pan-watercolor-set), also came with a really cheap flat brush that shed 1/3 of it's hairs while swatching.
I'm bummed about the unnecessary multiple pigments, but very impressed with the way they can go from super vibrant to lovely pale washes. You tend to get one or the other at that price point.. paints that are wimpy no matter what and ones that are super bright but fall apart into a mess with a lot of water.
Thank you. But apologies for late response. 😕 yes you're right, at this price point, these paints are not bad. 😊
Sir allan ano po mas ok yung tube po or ung bar po na artist grade?
By saying bar, yoh mean yung solids / pans? most of the time, id go for tubes. Economy wise, mas matipid siya. And you can pour them naman sa pans and dry them if you want them to be portable. ng mganda sa ready made pans is that may lalagyan and instant na. Although, need to remember, hjndi lahat ng brands may same formula. Like sa winsor and newton and sennelier. Iba ang formula sa tubes vs sa pans nila.
salamat po sa reply 😍
alin po better na watercolor f ever? Iniisip ko kasi white nights or mijello, newbie lang po ako, pero plan ko mag take commission in the future :)..
@@mitchiearts welcome po. parehong maganda. Kung may chance to get the tubes of Pure Pigment Set, the better. Sobrang dami mo na magagawa sa 15ml tubes na 24 colors plus 2- 7ml nila. Puwede mo naman ihandpour if you want. Sa 15ml na tube, mga 5 na halfpans na malalagyan mo.. 😉
Hi new subscriber here 🤗
in terms of transparency what brand do u recommend?
Hmmm.. I always suggest artist grade brands, but if transparency is your main concern, brand doesnt actually matter.. but the pigment. In any brand, all cadmium yellows are opaque.. and all phthalo blues are transparent. What i would suggest you to do is to identify the pigments that are transparent, semi transparent and opaque. the purpose of the black line in my swatches is to show the transparency of the paints. Some paints (usually the cheaper paints and student grade paints) will have opaque colors even to pigments that should be transparent) because of extenders or "chalk". You may also check out my video of the top 40 pigments to see which pigments are worth investing to. :)
@@AllanJayQuesada wow thank you so much 😁
Allen what brush are you using?
Both silver black velvet brushes. The flat is 1/4" while the pointed is a size 4 travel brush.
Watercolors by Allan Jay Quesada （＾ω＾）thank you!
Lightfastness?
They provided ratings for lightfastness and the pigment codes as well. the selected pigments are fine. however, i have not conducted my own tests yet. in time, i will. :)
Try to review joy watercolor it can buy in pandanbookshop
There is no Pandayan store here in Las Pinas, I wonder where the nearest branch is.. but maybe i can checkout after thee quarantine. Thanks for the suggestion po! :)
May alam po ba kayong bilihan ng watercolor paper Yung cash on delivery po
@@rennierdalisay9478 naku.. may mga nagbebenta ng papel sa FB, pero di COD yun eh.. sa shopee usually may COD, kaso baka sa China pa galing, matagal pa dating nun.. pacheck nlang.

What kind of paper did you use?
Hi huong dinh. I used arches 185 cold press. Mentioned it here 4:01 🎨
@@AllanJayQuesada there's a test of this watercolor on canson Montvale. They saw that this color did not perform well on all kind of paper :(((
@@huongdinh8719 depends on standards. But for me, it's not bad. A lot of of other brands are even worse than this Maries Masters.
yeah, i agree. Also the price is affordable for students. But why don't you try this on another kind of paper like canson Montval? I really really want to know the result
@@huongdinh8719 i have tried it casually on cheaper papers but didn't have any problems. Maybe there's another factor to the experience of the artist you saw.. that, we're not sure.
Hi po can you recommend me some watercolors that are good for beginners and affordable at the same time. BTW watching your videos while learning
Hello. There are lots of good watercolors that are cheap like Superior and O.win, but i would recommend student grade paints that provide pigment codes and that uses lightfast pigments. Good Sets with reasonable price are Sonnet and Marie's Masters. Sonnet 16 and 24 colors sets in full pans are less than 1000php. Maries masters 12 colors in 9ml tubes are also less than 1000php. White Nights artist grade paints are also one of the most affordable as the 12 colors full pan set is only 1500php.
@@AllanJayQuesada thank you for answering 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada this is helpful
@@gianpao9873 no worries. 😉
Philiphine version different color than CHINA version ...
firstttt!😅
Hahahaha. 😂🎨 Bili ka nito. Mura lang siya.
Oo nga sir e ang mura nya po per tube, legit na artist grade talaga sir? di ako makapaniwala hahahaha
@@EarlsArt hmm. Tingin ko legit siya kasi mas maganda pa ung performance niya sa ibang brand na kilala. Actually, nakita ko ung Masters na name sa website nila, pero walang picture. I think, puwedeng discontinued na ito kaya wana nang makiya. If fake ito, bakit wala ni isang review? Usually kasi pag fake, mass production yan eh. Kasi ang goal is to generate income.. pero wala akong makita tlaga. Angweird. Hehe. www.chinamaries.com/en//Product/Default_144401065394044928.aspx
@@AllanJayQuesada Mukhang legit nga sir haha, semi gipit pa po rn e, wala ipon HHAHAHAHAH
Tsaka parehas lang yung design sa tubes sa ibang medium na masters din sir e kaya ayon, legit nga hahaha
Is it chalky?
Nope. The only very chalky paints I've tested so far are the Simbalion, Best Buy and DongA.
