@@AllanJayQuesada I love the birds singing at your window. I assume that they will sound great early in the morning. No need to mention that you don't have to add music on the videos. What sort of birds are these btw?
@Creative Colours i record very early in the morning at around 5am so you also hear rooster from our neighbor. I am not sure what birds are those but I am familiar with some like the sparrows, doves, bulbuls, pied fantails, and sunbirds. I choose to record early because it's more peaceful, fewer cars on the street, and neighbors are asleep.hehe
@@AllanJayQuesada Really? It doesn't look like you record so early in the morning. But whatever is the case the birds' singing is fantastic. It changes the mood of the videos. Most people add some sort of music in their videos but who else has birds singing by demand?! Aside of the birds these paints look great. ( let's go back to the subject of the video... ha ha ha...) . I assume that you know that Chinese painting colors are not regular watercolors. They are made for painting on semi transparent papers without sizing. And they are very brilliant because in Chinese painting they apply the colors on the backside of the paper. The front size has the inking and the backside the colors. So if you intent to use them on regular watercolor paper, you will have to adapt your technique. So it is not exactly right to compare them with the other watercolors that you have already swatched. These are probably closer to the Kuretake Gansai ones.
@Creative Colours hahaha. Yeah i do it at around 4 to 6am that's why the roosters are also joining the birds. Ive heard these techniques needed for Chinese paintings but haven't really done the disciple.. I'd love to do it a bit more formally intime, say when I travel to China or if i meet a traditional Chinese painter.. with all the appropriate materials like rice paper etc. That'd pay respect to the medium and I'd gain new skill as well. I also agree, they couldn't be compared with the traditional paints. I just needed to just show them side by side. I'm happy too I was able to adapt ny usual way of painting to this set. 😊
That's okay my friend, we love the birds. I love these paints. I use them as gouache. They work perfectly for an en plein air palette because they dry nicely in the palette without crumbling. The horrible smell from the animal glue binder also goes away when dry. Love love love these paints as a gouache, but not as a watercolor.
Yay for the birds. 🤣 🐦 🦜 🦚 Oddly i didn't smell anything from my set.. maybe it depends on the batch? I agree this set is gonna be good for pleinair. 👍
The correct translation of "green head" is "first green". In Chinese colours, it has the name of "second green", "third green" for different shades of green too.
Oh i see. Thank you for sharing this information. 🙏 it reminds me as well on how Holbein and Shinhan name some of their colors. With numbers 1, 2 and so on. 😊
Don't worry about the birds, I love hearing them in your videos. I have never been to the Phillipines, but I would love to go, and when I think of there I always imagine that there is a lot of bird sounds coming from everywhere. And your videos have confirmed this idea! 😄 And this review was timed perfectly, I have been looking at this set of paints lately, thinking about whether I should give it a try. I mostly work with transparent regular watercolors, but I do enjoy more opaque paints, too. The paints themselves look great, I am just not happy about the color selection. I might still buy the set though because the swatches and especially your painting look wonderful.
😊🦢🦜🪶🐦 yeah, i can agree that almost everywhere here, even in the city, you'll hear the birds, especially in the morning. You should visit sometime, and checkout the beaches. ⛱️ Im happy with these paints as a special set of non-traditional western paint and i agree, the color selection is my main issue in this set. And also that it doesnt fully adhere well on paper,.. so if you're using it kn sketchbook, just use one side of the page cause it's gonna smudge on the opposite page. That's what i forgot to mention on the video. 😔
古彩 is pronounced gucai - 'ancient/classical color' that's the product name. It's like the Japanese gansai because the binder is animal collagen based. Not really meant to be translucent watercolors as we know them. More comparable to gansai tambi in ingredients and usage. Thanks for your reviews!
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy the process. I have some playlist here, where I do demo paintings of portraits, flowers and landscape. here is the landscape playlist. I hope you enjoy. :) th-cam.com/play/PL5Jo61Gq_J89Yca9ajT2uZqUCHgpRDp_a.html
It seems like these paints are designed for calligraphy and probably work better on calligraphy paper. Thank you for showing the swatches with the other paints. For my style of painting, I prefer vibrant colours that can be muted with mixing, so I may not use this for watercolour painting, but for calligraphy this looks quite good.
That's interesting..I'm not really into gouache, but I'm definitely gonna love MGraham gouache. Mgraham is one of my favorite brands. I hope i could find a supplier here. 🙏
@AllanJayQuesada owo thank you I tend to not like chalky watercolor but if it's like gouache it would be a new type of paint for me hybrid between watercolor and gouache
The birds in the background is the best ambience background for your videos. Don't ever dare to close the window again!!
Hahaha. Noted on this. 🥰

Wow. Thank you for the additional information. That answers as to why these paints are thick and somewhat mostly semi opaque to opaque. 🙏
This works best in conjunction of sumi ink in chinese paper, This is the way. Thanks for sharing the colors
I wish I could also find this Chinese paper or the rice paper that they call so I could use these paints more accordingly. 🙏
@@AllanJayQuesada in aliepress you find theses papers. Is cheap
@@AllanJayQuesada xuan paper is the original paper name is made of a tree.
I love your videos and I love the birds in the background. A little slice of paradise.
Glad you like them! Thank you for appreciating my work and environment. 🙏
Your paintings are beautiful! I would love to see full time video of you painting. Tfs

Yes youre right. And since this paints dont move much and are bit thick, they're really gonna suit calligraphy art and craft works. 😊
Thank you for your professional review! I look forward to seeing you reviewing Paul Rubens' 4th Gen artist great watercolor paint set!
I believe they're gonna send it next. So excited to try it too. ☺️
Although they are opaque they seem to be very vibrant. They kind of remind me of the m graham gouache.
That's interesting..I'm not really into gouache, but I'm definitely gonna love MGraham gouache. Mgraham is one of my favorite brands. I hope i could find a supplier here. 🙏
Thanks Allan. Yes better with these paints on rice paper. 💜
I'm really curious about rice paper. 🫡 Hope to find a local distributor soon.
Is it chalky like sakura paint or smooth like holbien?
I can say it's thick, almost like goauche, and has a tendency to be chalky when used thickly.
@AllanJayQuesada owo thank you I tend to not like chalky watercolor but if it's like gouache it would be a new type of paint for me hybrid between watercolor and gouache
Kuya yung art creation naman😅😁
Hahaha. Dadating tayo diyan. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada yown!.... Hahaha.... Antayin ko yun kuya....
Yung rouge kuya parang bordeaux🤔
oo nga. angganda dba. ganda pa ng texture niyan kahit medyo opaque.hehe
@@AllanJayQuesadayes kuya.... Medyo me similarity sya sa perylene Maroon. Hehe
Having used gouache, watercolor and Chinese painting, they behave differently. It's like comparing rice vermicelli with spaghetti.
I agree. But this Gucai paints paints feels like a cross between watercolor and gouache.
