    dear steph and adam,
    i’m an art student from asia, and here you can get holbein tubes for about £1.50 each; i know steph loves holbein gouache, and i would love to be able to send you some holbein watercolors from my stash for you to enjoy! let me know if that’s something you’re interested in :)

      I would say if you have some you don't want or need go ahead and send them with a nice little note. If there's one thing I've learned since being born, you simply con NOT have enough or too many art or craft supplies so there's zero to no chance they would be upset about a awesome gift like that 🤗

    I’m so glad you’re doing an unpaid/sponsored review. They are allllll over the TH-cam channels I watch and because almost everyone I watch gets them sent for free, it makes me exceptionally sceptical of their reviews.

      I agree, it's a very common marketing tactic to give someone something for free to make them feel like they "owe" you a purchase or in this case a positive review. This used to work on me all the time before I learned about it and for the most part I no longer fall for it. It's just impossible not be at least a little biased when you've been sent a product for free.

    The packaging is kind of weird, like it honestly feels like the company could've easily just sold it in a box without extra plastic.
    Especially since it comes in a box anyway with even more plastic.
    Especially especially since it wasn't protected by the packaging at all.

    The thing with watercolors in tins like that, is you have to spray it and let it absorb the water for a moment and then the pigment comes up easier.
    I saw that a lot of your complaints had to do with the color or pigment.
    Thanks by the way for giving an honest review! I feel like you're the only art TH-cam channel that is giving a real review of things like Arteza.

    I have the Winsor and Newton Cotman set and I personally think it has a better selection of colours for beginners than this set. (Like sap green so you can have a vibrant green or you can mix a more muted colour.)
    It also seems to always be available for the £12/13 pound mark on Amazon, WHSmiths etc.
    The appeal of the Arteza set seems to be the metal tin and addition of the water brush.

    I am so excited to see your honest reviews on Arteza! I wish I had seen something so honest before I had bought up there watercolor, Gouache, and Acrylic paint tubes since I thought they were going to be great for beginners.
    The watercolor tubes are nice when you use them right out of the tube but when you try making a pallet with them, they don't last and it made me sad. They cracked and didn't reactivate well and I even bought one of the nicer pallets. The Gouache I had a similar incandescent where they made me think I was doing something wrong since they muddied up even when I was following the correct steps.
    The things that I can say truly enjoyed were the watercolor pencils and watercolor paper. I would like to see what you both think about the paper or the pencils if you ever get a chance to without having to spend too much money. :)

They have a Shades of Nature set which seems like something right up Steph's alley and a Pinks and Violets set which is exactly what it says on the tin and might be something fun/challenging for Adam.

      @CupofYetea 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have the Pastel Dream palette and, to my taste, some of the colors are great and some not so much. The colors are pretty but most are very chalky. I love the chocolate brown. It's one of my favorite brown watercolor I own. All the blues/greens and the purple are extremely chalky, they always cover lineart. The bumblebee yellow and citrus orange are super vibrant and I enjoy painting with them even if they are a bit chalky. The other colors are good. Not my favorite palette but fun nonetheless. My favorite Prima Marketing palette so far has been the Woodlands (I also have Shimmering Lights), once again based on my personal taste. I love talking about art supplies hope this wasn't rude to jump in like that.

    I love your honest reviews! I criticized an artist for referring me to an arteza link at Xmas. I was complimenting their painting and their reply was to offer the link I didn't appreciate the comment at all and felt as though it was fake and they were only saying to purchase because of the sponsorship. I normally use Holbein, Daniel Smith, recently added Turner and mgraham. I enjoy the pigmentation in all of these brands. I'd never recommend to another artist to buy paints that don't give pigment info. Great review!

  • @360flipsAreAwesome

    Refilling the pans with Arteza tubes may not be the best idea. Most of the reviews I've seen say that they don't reactivate as well as the Arteza pans when dried into a palette.
    You'd probably be better off refilling with a tube of Cotman, Van Gough, or some other student grade paint.

    Also, I saw in a different video where someone wanted to do a custom pallet with the tube watercolors and that did not work at all, the paints just completely cracked and what not when they dried and she was not able to reactivate them so she contacted Arteza about it and they apparently told her that their tube watercolors are not supposed to be used like that (which is a bummer), just thought you might wanna know. However I can't say that from personal experience since I have never tried them.

    To be honest the Van Gogh are very much worth your money than Arteza for a beginner set. Yeah they have been here a while but they got really nice and beautiful colors! Even nicer than winsor an newtons cotman set.
    Too bad some artists complain more about their overly expensive wooden cases(cough) when they could go easily for the compact plastic ones, it doesn't change the quality of the watercolor.

    Van gough is full artist grade in my opinion, most are also lightfast and the lightfastness information is more available. Cotman ( by Windsor and newton) is lower quality I have replaced almost all of my Colman’s as they were not pigmented enough for me a time went on. Areza has no lightfastness information and last I checked no pigment information available. If it is a choice pleas go for the Van gough (price and availability being a factor). Nice honest review thanks.

      Even though Prima's and Jane Davenport's are a little "grainy" I'd rather use them over the arteza as well. If you know where to look you can find the lightfast ratings for both brands...

    Yeah, I agree with Steph, the fern green is quite muddy.

    merky pondwater green is the most beautiful color in the world in my eyes, so i think Fern Green is a very nice shade

    I'm not colorblind but I love the amount of time you put in to point out brands that are not color blind friendly, I've been a lot more aware of it nowadays.

    About paints fallingout of watercolor tins: you can bend the metal thing behind the paint a little so it stays in place better.

    I think you guys would really like Ecoline :) it's from the brand Talens and it's like a liquid watercolor based on pigments. So basically you can get a huge variaty of vibrant and pastel colors and you can do some cool effects with them when you mix water with them. Not many youtubers have used it before. It's not that well known.... but it has the cute ink bottle aesthetic Steph likes and the cute pastel tones Adam likes :D win-win

    They are pricy in the UK. They're about $18 in US Amazon right now. I am set on art supplies but I enjoy watching people use and review new art supplies.

    Steph your opinions are valid!! Also I agree that is a pretty gross green color. Thanks so much for always giving everything an honest try and sharing your thoughts. It really is helpful.

    I have seen tons of arteeza WC tubes review even tho I'm never gonna buy it. One thing I tell you... The WC tubes dry on palette so don't buy them. They are good fresh out of tubes. So don't waste your money on that...

      You can add honey or glycerin to help with that. I have the tubes and that's what I did. Not perfect but it helps.

    Thank you for your fun, quirky, and honest review! I was eyeing these originally, but I open to other brands at this point. What would you recommend for a decent watercolor pan set at an intermediate level?

  • @mandymckk
    @mandymckk 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    It’s not a brand per se, but I’m always intrigued by Wish products- a video of trying Wish art supplies would be really interesting!

    LOVING this video style with a casual chatting like we’re used fo, and cuts to a speed paint-type style. I would love to see you guys off the bed one day, but if you aren’t there, is it really Doodle Date? 🤔 Thanks for the review!

  • @loveemopanda
    @loveemopanda 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    You guys should try their 5 water brush set! they are different than the one included in the watercolor set. I think you would like them.

  • @AridescentArt
    @AridescentArt 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video and thanks for this review. Everyone that has been sponsored by them say that they r great but I feel like they have to say that! But since y’all bought them I feel like it’s definitely more honest!! Thank you!!

    I use the little windsor and newton set and in Canada that was $19 at Michaels I'm pretty sure (I may be mis-remembering), so I'm happy with mine :)
