- You can say this video is sponsored because I got a box of Mission Gold Class Watercolors by Mijello, straight from Korea. So in this video, I’m going to talk about how I got it, what do I think of it, and as a bonus, I’m going to share the painting process of this painting using only the Mission Gold paint.
Even though they sent me the paint, this is my honest opinion about their paint.

Even though Mijello sent me the paint to test and review, this is my honest opinion about the paint. I can honestly recommend them for people who love vibrant colors (especially if you do floral painting).
Café Watercolor - Eric Yi Lin thank you so much for your review. You covered so much I wanted to know. But to have the added bonus of watching you actually paint was wonderful.
i bought mijello because of this review
I purchased a set. It did say to shaked the tube before opening. I saw reviews from some that may have had a much better experience if they had done this. Thank you for helping me to make the decision to purchase these over a major competitor.
I'm the one who is obsessed with floral painting. I just ordered the 24 colors set last night, I'm so excited to try them. Thanks for your video.
Beautiful woman and beautiful painting. Well done. Mission Gold chose a deserving artist to test and feature their watercolours.
That's such a sweet thing to say, Mary, thank you so much! =)
As a total beginner in watercolor, I thought it was funny that you didn't like your first attempt at this painting when I thought it was gorgeous! :D The second was definitely even more so, though. I love your channel so much!!
It’s a wonderful drawing, marvelous colouring session, awesome painting ❤
I absolutely love my Mission Gold set of 34 colors. Amazing coverage and beautifully intense. Thank you for helping me to understand them so much better!
I’m a new watercolorist. I love the mission gold paints. I believe the set you received were a “pure” set. Made with one pigment. I’m not a new painter. I began with oils. I think the Mission Gold, because of the intense colors, makes me very happy. The muted flat colors of some of the brands don’t make me as happy. I’m just too use to the intense oil color paints. The price point in these sets were much easier to afford compared to some brands. I do add ox gall to the water to help them move a bit more. 😊Still learning, as it still can seem so backwards to me. Thank you for the review and looking forward to more.
Wow, great to get that many single pigment colors! Didn't know they had a dot chart. Mission Gold has Permanent Yellow Deep PY65 which is the same pigment as Hansa Yellow Deep in most brands (except maybe M Graham which is PY97). Despite their large line, Mission Gold is lacking in yellows, only the Permanent Yellow Light is a mid-tone yellow single pigment. I've only have a couple of their colors since their tubes are pretty expensive in the US, but I like the colors I have. Like a lot of colors made in Japan or Korea, they don't move much when wet-in-wet.
Thank you for your sharing. That's very good to know =)
everart okelli Movement is easily solved by using ox gall in your water. They didn’t want to use ox gall.
Hi 👋🏻 Eric! I've been using mission gold 36 colors for three years and I really like the texture, the creaminess and the final result. I bought another case with 24 different colors than I already had and again I loved it. I also bought loose tubes of the colors I use mostly. I also use M. Graham and comparing, both have the same characteristics. A hug, from Brazil 🇧🇷
Hi Sonia, thanks so much for your comment! I'm actually thinking about buying the Mission Gold set and using M. Graham to add specific colors -- do you know if the two different brands blend well together? Thanks in advance!
I recently ordered Mission Gold as my move up from student grade paints and I love them! The vibrant colors are amazing! They are different from other paints and I’m watching a lot of videos to pick up tips. But overall, I think they are fantastic and would also highly recommend them. I really enjoyed the painting you demonstrated. What a lovely subject, and her kimono is a perfect example of how beautiful and bold the Mission Gold paints stand out from other watercolors. I love the bright ones, not necessarily too much of the washed-out pastels. Some reasons why I love these so much!
Hey! are they the pure pigment set? if so, I'd like to know about their flow.. I'm pretty anxious about it.
I have just ordered Mijello Gold a set of 36 colors ( half pan individually poured) available here in the Philippines.
That's why I watched your review.
It's so informative and helpful for me -- first time to soon use Mijello Gold.
Your painting of your Japanese lady friend is absolutely beautiful.
I also learned much from the process.
Thank you so much.
May the angelic beings of colors continue to weave beauty in your art
and life.🙏

I've ordered this watercolor and looking forward to using them as a beginner. Big Thanks for your review.
These are stunning! They look so pure they remind me of inks. I have about seven and even in this small number, they glow compared to other brands, seem to have more energy to them. Thank you for sharing this, I need a bigger wishlist!
I have a large wishlist, but my wallet doesnt match it! Thats the problem. lol
I bought a set of Mission Gold watercolors. I love them. The colors are so pure and deep.
love everything about this. The photo, drawing stage and painting are so stunning. I use Mission Gold pure pigment set when i need saturation and clean color. The paint consistency is ideal for drying in a palette since they re not too soft or runny, but not dry hard either. Never had pigment separation and other consistency issues. It would be nice if they added more granulating pigments to their range :)
I have Mission Gold and I think they're highly pigmented. I love this! The colors are stunning.
1. I enjoy watching your videos. Your voice is soothing and your accent is soft on my ears.Your insite on color is often illuminating. This particular video was very informative.
The main complaint I've heard about Mission Gold is that they don't flow enough, I actually feel like it's a good attribute of the paint because I like having the extra control. I have a hand picked 48 DS pallete that has all of my favorite colors, but I prefer MG as my main palette because the paints are so vibrant and obedient ❤.
sound great =) yes I don't think there's good or bad property for paints. As long as you know how to use them well. =) it's cool that you find what suits your needs!
The best Mission Gold test, trial and comparisons....compare to other video l have watched. Thank you
Sir, your painting is as beautiful as your honesty. Best wishes.
Mission Gold is my favorite - I love the high pigment/bright colors I get from them. I have tried several other brands including DS (which I use as well) but I tend toward bright subjects so MG is my go to. I loved your painting demo! Thanks :)
I just got the 34 set, I am learning how to use them rigth. Thank you!
Excellent review and your painting is gorgeous! I have Mission Gold paints, and love them. They do have some distinct differences from other brands but, as you said, each brand has its own qualities, and it's a matter of getting to know them. I enjoy Mission Gold's beautiful colors so much, and I love it that their entire line is non-toxic. This is important to me. Thank you for your wonderful video and have a blessed day!
OneTrueWord1988 thank you! I am really glad you enjoy the video ☺️
Thank you for the review. This is such an amazing and lovely painting! 😍❤️👏🏻
Thank you for watching :)
Absolutely amazing! A very in depth review and also love how much effort you have put to show the differences in your usual paints and technique to the Mission Gold.
Thank you Twinkle! 🤗
Wow, you are an amazing artist, your drawing skills are phenomenal...great job!!
I’ve purchased this same set, but still haven’t used them in a painting. Maybe as I know they will perform differently and I haven’t felt ready to spend time getting to understand them yet. Thank you for your video Eric, as it’s given me an insight into what I need to pay attention to. Lovely painting! ❤️
Great review. What a nice bundle of goodies Mijello sent you. Your friend Miyuki (sp) is stunning and looked so beautiful on her wedding day. I hope she was able to see your painting in person, it's wonderful. I'm very very new to watercolors. Just subscribed to your channel to be inspired. Peace
PJ mush thank you so much ☺️
This painting turned out beautifully. I thought the first version was nice but I think my opinion was coloured by the beauty of the subject. This one is absolutely lovely. As always, I enjoy the explanation of how you are achieving the result you're looking for. They look like very nice paints!
they are very beautiful paint =) just the matter of getting used to it! Again I'll probably mix match both brand. For my day to day paint :)
Thank you very much Eric for your intelligent and thoughtful review. I now have an order for mission gold 36 color that I am excitedly waiting for 😁
Have fun with it! Hope my review help you to know what to expect ☺️
An absolutely beautiful painting Eric, the colours are so vibrant , and ideally suited to this subject . I can appreciate they may prove too vibrant for some situations , such as flesh tones , but you handled them very well , even in this area . Well done !
You are a champ at watercolor and design. The photo and painting look quite a like !! I love your work but I may have missed this one painting. Thank you for your recommendations of the Mijello paints.
Thank you for a great rewiev 🙏🏼 and the georgeous painting of your Beautiful friend . It was Very helpful 😃🎨
Thank you for sharing this informative video! Your art and your presentation of information has definitely earned my sub!!
Krisna thank you so much!! ☺️☺️
I have never tried that brand. I painted this one along with you and used Schmincke 12 pan set. I like my results-it is somewhat similar to your work but you are far better than I, thank you!!!
Mission water colours are very intense and vibrant , your teaching is exillent
I'm new to painting and all art, so asking Why I paint is a way to help define what I like/love and need from doing it. I'll be thinking of this a lot. thank you Eric.
Love your painting and review of the paints, Eric! I've heard many times and can attest to it too (I bought a small 36 colors set that came with the palette) - MG paints are very saturated and vibrant. Florists and botanists adore them! Whimsical sketchers love them too. Not so much landscape painters. But you made a right decision - some of their colors can replace a few DS in our collections!
I bought a set of mission gold an I totally agree with your assessment. I also have palettes of Holbein, .M Graham, Daniel Smith and Winsor Newton. Mission Gold are by far the most vibrant. They are lovely though. I just need to become more adept at mixing.
I tired only Mission gold dot cards but just few days ago I ordered pure pigment set of 24+2, I love vibrant colors and I think I'll enjoy this set.
I love vibrant colors, a beautiful painting!
Wow! What a gorgeous portrait!
Beautiful painting.. love all the colors and the detail you put in... thank you for sharing
Thank you so much :)
Great one! Very delicate.
Ok I'm sold, just ordered the 36 tube set from Amazon!
I love my MG paints. They retain almost all their color as they dry. And they excel at reds and yellows, as you said. I also have Qor paints that I love. They also retain their color as they dry but spread much more across the paper. So I will use those when I want interesting "swooshy" effects. I also love the MG pan set palette. The pans are very generous and the size of the palette is just right for painting anywhere. I also like that neither MG nor Qor use ox gall. And both re-wet very easily. Thank you for the review. Gorgeous painting!
nickelazoyellow thank you for sharing! It’s definitely very different but I love the vibrancy!
Thank you for showing your watercolor painting.
I am Korean. I like Mijello Materials and always paint with Mijello. Watercolor tube.
Thank you =) Such wonderful paint!
Can't wait to try these! Thanks for sharing your new finds
I love my MG paints and Holbeins and of course the Daniel Smith. Thanks for sharing this!
I have used this paint and really like it. But you sure have to give the company high marks since they were so generous sending them so many "goodies."
Anymore i hate reviews of paint. I have to many already. But this was a through description of your experience. Have watched it several times as i have gotten out the mission gold paints. It is helpful and thank you.
Wowww
You paint sooooo beautifully!
Very nice.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It's very helpful.
Beautiful picture, even better interperated painting.
Beautiful painting , beautiful girl and I love your drawing skills !!
Meraviglioso acquerello...grazie saluti da Siena
Thanks!
Waiting on delivery od my mission gold - really exited - thanks for the information
Eric, excellent video, informative, well done, I really likes the fact that you actually used them to make a painting,and gave an honest opinion of there product. Wuld I buy there paints? yes, but I favor Grumbecker, and Winser Newton. Cost, could be an issue!if there very expensive.
Gorgeous painting!
this painting is so beautiful
Beautiful!!!!
You are da bomb at painting. 👌
Beautiful!
Wow, awesome
I just bought a set of 24 mission gold. I tried a landscape painting. I had a harder time picking up paint for clouds than with my cheap starter paints. I assume it's because it's highly pigmented and settles into the paper faster. There's definitely a learning curve. I didn't like the wet on wet as much. But I am a real new painter. Maybe someone can tell what I did wrong.
Beautiful, I liked it.
Loved the painting!
She's beautful
She is ☺️ I’m just trying my best to capture her
@@Cafewatercolor Come ooon!! WIsh I could play with my watercolors as you do! thank you for sharing ♥
I found that same colors name in different brands does look different,I guess mijello will be good for floral paintings ,I have watercolor paints from 9brands but I’ve never tried Mijello before.
sometimes it's a frustration, and sometimes it's a pleasant surprise =) It's definitely very interesting
I really like them but I guess they are better to keep as a studio palette, because they never dry down completely. They also offer some pastels and a very small selection of pearl colors. It's very different than with Schmincke Horadam for example. But for some people.. the flow will be an issue. In that case a flowing agent will help.
i have only ever used mijello colors with some selective colors from other brands. The reason is simple, these tubes lasts forever. they are so pigmented that a little bit of color goes a long way
Masterful!
I only tried DS and Van Gogh, but I would love too try MGold in the future. Right now I am expecting White Nights in the mail.
yes =) I always encourage my students to get familiar with their palette first and expand slowly. Don't get too obsess with the material ;)
Great review!
Thank you so much for sharing this! Have wanted to try their watercolors. Do you know where we can get the watercolor dot card? Great painting! You are a great artist!
Usually contact the paint manufacturer or check and ask your local art store :)
Awesome!
She is so beautiful xxx
Emma Sheppard she definitely is ☺️
Hi, hansa Yellow deep is permanent yellow deep. Look at the pigments.
New subby over here 💕 thank you so much for doing english video.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make videos.
Could you post a separate full video on just you swatching the dot chart?
Beautiful work! Have you done other paintings with the Mijello Mission Gold? Have you tried the Pure version of this brand? Thank you for the review and sharing your talents.
I enjoy your vedeos very much. Would love to see what you think of our Indian brand Camel. Please do a review.
Very interesting video. I subscribed.
Mission Gold 34 Colors are amazing $195. To buy 34 Daniel Smith Colors in Australia = $748 + Postage = Art Shop in Canberra, ACT, Australia. No can surely can tell me that Daniel Smith is worth $553 extra.
Your Painting is truly beautiful and Mijello should be very proud of you regarding your art and they way you showed their paints to us.
Very, very well done Eric.
Its really sad that in Australia, we don't have much choices of brand to pic. I live in Sydney and not much options here either.
i feel the shifting might aslo depend on paper pretty sure the color would be lighter on an arches pad~~
beautiful painting and absolutely great review! may i ask how well they cure in your palette? do they dry well or crack at all?
I have the same set, in my palette only two of them have tiny cracks on the surface but honestly the dried pant looks kinda “moist” just like the other artist quality watercolors (Daniel Smith, Sennelier...) so it doesn’t fall off the pan and it’s extremely easy to rewet🤩
@@marisawu3646 oh wow, thank you so much for taking the time to reply Marisa, i really appreciate it! :D it's been 3 months since i posted that comment and i'm still 'saving up' to buy mijello haha~
I tried Mission Gold (MG) but I have to admit I was so not used to it. I like watercolor pouring and using three colors (a family of yellow, blue and red) and it turned muddy on me. I went back to Daniel Smith and got the results I was used to. Also, I'm a beginner and because of my experience with MG, I went and did a study on pigments. I wanted to know why the results were all over the place. I should have done that first! Mission Gold's combination of pigments for some colors are much different and that's why they are so vibrant and beautiful. I am unsure of the binders they use however. I know at my level that I am unable to mix Mission Gold as I can with DS. Following along with tutorials with specific MG colors was a disaster for me. I'm just not experienced enough to appreciate the differences. I will stick to DS until I know what the blazes I'm doing! Thank you for your review and congratulations on the beautiful set you received from Mission Gold. Their packaging is lovely and the presentation provided a great experience for me. They are beautiful paints but not for beginners like me. I set MG aside until the day I can treat them with proper respect.
Thank you for your sharing! I understand how that feel. I wasn't used to it at all. And I do suggest you stick with what works, this is why you rarely see my channel with paint and brush review. It is so personal and everyone has a different touch on it, so get familiar with what you have, and slowly expand your tool. =)
Dear Eric,
I’m looking for vibrant colours (I am a beginner and only own Kuretake and Daler Rowney). I’m shortlisting Mission Gold and M Graham. Which one do you think I should try out? Thank you.
Are they artist grade watercolor?
Plz can you share palette link or details plz sir
Hi. Your description of MG sounds so similar to my experience with schmincke horadam. Have you ever tried schmincke? How is MG characteristics compared to those of schmincke? Btw I need a little advice about brushes. If I use sable brush to re-wet and grab pigment from half pan paint, will it harm the tip of the brush? Thank you
Joy Bean I haven’t tried schmincke. So before I start painting, I would spray some water at the dry pan to revive to revive it a bit. I haven’t notice damage to the brush. But if you are worry, use a bigger brush or something else to grab and mix color, then use your sable to pick up your premixed color
Ya I usually spray or drop some water to them, but still.. every time I swirl those fur I be like "oof.. sorry sable" haha. Glad if there's no damage tho..
Like you, I m also a fan of neutral grayish tone. It was challenging at first to mix the vibrant cartoonish pigments of schmincke to make natural colors but eventually the result is mind-blowing and satisfying. I wonder if MG behave the same.
What about DS? I only have raw and burnt umber DS, haven't tried their primary colors yet.
Oh, what is lightfastness?...
Basically how much resistance the paint has against fading when exposed to UV ray (aka sunlight)
The higher the lightfastness, the more resistance it has. You can check out more detail here:
www.artistsnetwork.com/art-techniques/lightfast-paint-and-lightfastness-ratings/
I usually don't worry about it too much because after I have done with my painting I store them in the drawer. And if I would display them I put them behind anti-UV acrylic.
LOVED YOUR REVIEW... BOUGHT THE PAINTS BUT WANTED TO BUY THE HANDMADE COLOR CHART.. HOW OR WHERE CAN I GET THIS AWESOME TOOL?....LOVE YOUR PAINTING TOO
Its an XLNT of paint, The tubes I have bought, I find them very pleasing.
