I have an old Arteza watercolor brush. Came from a friend who was cleaning out her mother's supplies. It has to be at least 15 years old and is my favorite brush. I wish they still made brushes.
people saying she is giving these a good review just because it’s a “paid promotion”, READ THE DESCRIPTION she got sent these in EXCHANGE for an HONEST REVIEW. she gave pros and cons, and really went in with criticism on their tube watercolours emily obviously isnt being biased with this review
Maybe because she says things so nicely...my mom has a way of doing this...even if she is criticizing something it doesnt sound harsh at all. #nicepeopleproblems lol!
maybe it's because so many people seem to confuse "being critical" with "being excessively mean/harsh" & that's kinda frustrating. then again, there's a lot of people who seem to think being mean is a personality trait, so whatever i guess. :p
Hi, I bought the pallet a couple months ago, in November to be specific, and they changed the packaging and removed the printed sheets and include a piece of watercolour paper to swatch, and they are still amazing and buttery, and they changed some of the excess colours and swapped them out.

i bought some cheap watercolors in tubes to make a pallet just like the arteza ones mine cracked after drying i was really sad but after a while i found a hack that helped me a lot if your watercolors crack after drying you can add some honey to them i made many pallets this way and i never had a problem you just need to make sure that you don’t add too much honey hope this helped someone also english isn’t my first language , sorry for any mistakes
@@eveannaparsons1837 Do you think their quality is comparable to prisma color? I've been wanting to try arteza but I'm not sure what their quality level is.
@@chey_daniella they arent as soft, which I find alot easier to work with as I'm heavy handed sometimes and they are alot longer lasting. They arent as easy to layer than prismacolor but for the money definitely worth it. I would say they are a mix between polychromos and prismacolor. Definitely worth a try and definitely something I will be sticking to from now on.
@@nevaehl8148 i've seen some. I mean, those comments aren't really on top of this comment section, but there are some. And most of them are old comments, like six months ago or so.
It was so weird to hear that you don’t appreciate a lot of Browns! I feel like I need a lot of Browns 😂 I have a travel pan set that I created with my colour preferences and out of 20 colours, I have 7 Browns 😂 it’s so funny how artists can be so different
@@hailstormk9417 uhm, I mean if I want like a mystic forest or, draw someone freezing outside and their breath is visible(hard to explain in English 😅), I like to have a seethrough white layer of watercolor, also the white makes my other colors look like they are glowing if I mix it right. You can also use white pastels to get that look but it just takes a lot of layering and the white water color just works better for me
@@hailstormk9417 you can see an example on my instagram "lostintimeart" my first post there (I ran out of white watercolor so I couldn't play around more with it), but the panting is actually a great example
lostintime thank you! I knew what you meant I just wanted to know the way of doing it since I’ve never seen steam or fog created in watercolor before Thanks
I am so happy I found this video just by pure coincidence. I was literally an hour away from buying the 60 count paint tubes by this brand and I wanted to make a premade pallet. Thank you for saving me the money I'm going to attempt to buy the watercolor paint palette.
I absolutely love Arteza's stuff, I've had their blendable markers for quite a while now and they're my favorite medium of art I've ever used. I recently got their fine tip pens to outline my art and it's all just,,, so great. I'm still growing in my art and want to paint more, and I'm certain that once I do get to that point I will be buying paints from Arteza
Oh! And another thing I love, buying specific colors of the markers when they run dry. I got a pack of the black everblend markers recently, four of em, for super cheap, they came in really quick, and none of those pens have dried out since!
4:50, I use white, and I wouldn’t call myself a beginner. I know I can’t really show any proof that I am not a beginner, but I’ve been doing art for about 4 years now (which, some could still say that is a beginner, I guess). And though I need to use the cheapest watercolor I can find, that doesn’t make me any less accomplished or unprofessional/a novice to watercolors. I like bold pastel colors and the white helps accomplish that. This kinda sounds like an attack/rant, I don’t mean that, but I think that others who use white shouldn’t be labeled as beginners or only using it for a smoky effect even if I’m the only one who believes this. P.S.: I know teachers/professors ban white and other colors but I use it because it works the best with my style.
True, I myself like to use white to portray smoky effects or sometimes even lighten the colour when just water doesn't do the trick. I have been working with watercolors for two years now. I guess you could call me a beginner but not because of the use of white.
As a nail technician who incorporates white powder to accomplish a colored acrylic, white acrylic paint for custom color AND white polish to alter an enamel &/or gel polish color...WHITE IS SIGNIFICANT for my work!
My issues with this company is their extreme price hikes. They started off being great for the price. However, within a year their prices have doubled and in some cases close to tripled. This is evident with their color pencil.
I love Emily and her art with every inch of my being. She is so inspirational and funny. Literally love everything she does. I love to paint people, faces, eyes, flowers, skulls, crystals, anything along those lines. Love the video!!
I've been using a small Windsor and Newton pallet for a while and was looking to upgrade to something with more colors. Arteza was one I was considering, so thanks for the review. I also like to paint people and occasionally animals. :P
I just purchased the Windsor & Newton Cotman 14 half pan set, and you can fit 9 additional half pans in the case if you purchase them individually from somewhere such as dickblick.com. 6 fit perfectly across where the brush is kept, and 3 can fit in the tiny water bowl. So now my 14 pan set is actually 23 pans and way cheaper than their other sets for more - with colors I actually want rather than what they standardized in their pricey sets. Give it a try, maybe you can squeeze more into your set and you didn't even know it.
The Windsor and newton watercolours are very good quality in general, but the price is such a bummer.. I have the big palette... but my savings really took a hit.. but they are really good! But I would choose the Arteza over Windsor and newton just because of the price.. but for me Windsor and newton have a better quality.. just putting it out there! (I also recommend the arteza watercolour Pens! They are absolutely amazing for travel because they are ready mixed watercolour in a pen and are brilliant for layering and you can mix colours and it comes with a water pen and AH I love them 😩) (( not sponsored 😂)) have a nice day xx
I love how you give reviews. This was way more info than I'm used to when hearing watercolour reviews and I do agree that the colour choices are unique! I orginally loved using markers to create my art with, but now I'm a watercolour junkie and now I want to collect them all. Tyanks so much for the review and I like to use watercolours to paint dark skin lovelies!
Really solid review as always, I super appreciate how you always add even the tiniest little detail! It def helps someone like me who needs to know as much as I absolutely possibly can before I make a purchase :p And, as far as the contest goes, I mostly paint old houses and pretty girls with spooky eyes.
Sounds like this is still a student grade watercolor set. No info on pigments? Lighfastness? True red, alizarin crimson or ultramarine blue? No way Jose. Also, while it sounds like a good thing that the colors didn't separate when you mixed them together, it sounds like there weren't any granulating colors. (ultramarine anyone?) Also tube paint that can't be dried and reused? That's some janky s--t.
@@day6kz No, all watercolor can be reused after is has dried. The problem with some of the cheaper made tube paints though. like the Arteza ones, is that they become very crumbly after the dry. They can still be rewet and used, but you have to deal with a whole bunch of paint chips and crumps that you have to rewet, they don't stick nicely to the palette ina one blob like higher quality tube paints do, that's all. Once you get them all soaked and reactivated, you can paint with them just fine.
I'm still a beginner but I really like painting nature and animals with watercolors. I don't have a lot of experience with watercolors but you Emily are one of the artists that inspire me the most. I absolutely love watching your videos. Don't ever stop being you because your admirers far FAR outweigh the lime green jello people.
They must have heard u about the swatch cards…my set came with a printed blank swatch card with the names of the colors on it matching the layout of the trays…and even some blanks so u can swatch your own mixes!
I just started getting into watercolor. But I've mostly painted flowers and water scenes. You actually really pushed me to work with watercolor!I usually work with acrylic paints.
The "I love dipping into the hot pink" nearly took me out! I've probably said that unrelated to art as well. Haha! Quality content. Glad I found this channel.
I’m so glad you did this review. I am new to water colors and asked my husband for some supplies for my birthday next week (11th coincidentally). I actually have arteza products in my wish list on amazon. I plan to make a watercolor journal about my days with my baby. He is starting to crawl and now has two teeth so I want to capture these memories through art.
I LOVE painting sunflowers with watercolors. The gradient is just so beautiful and much smoother than with acrylic. The layers just look very pleasing to the eye.
I’m so glad you’ve reviewed this! I’ve been commenting on so many youtuber’s videos asking for this, Thanks so much! I don’t really paint too often and there was one of their products I had my eye on, the 36 premium brush markers? They look good but I’ve ordered them and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s smudgy and leaks through pages... not sure if it’s the paper I’m using but my parents spent a lot of money on it for my birthday and I’d love to be able to use them, would you be able to review them? Thanks
I did a ton of work with the real brush pens and didn't have problems, but paper is super important. They behave the best on watercolor paper, and if you use them on mixed media paper, keep water handy to smooth the ink out. I haven't had problems with them bleeding because I've used thicker paper. So far I love them!
I’ve just started watercolors and I find your videos super helpful and chill. I’m getting into painting scenes with kids or kid like characters in them and it’s turning into a real journey :3
I love to paint people, places and plants with my watercolours, and my dog, Sandy - who was the reason I started to draw & paint in the last couple of years! Really enjoyed this vid!
I'm super excited that this affordable brand has been getting good reviews. Great news for low-end-intermediates like myself :) My new favorite thing to paint has been (besides my go-to skulls and floral) snakes and furred animals. I love giving a good watercolor blotchiness to a snake body and then going in and picking out scales with a thin brush or micron :) (also DDLG with the paper is going to make me laugh for AGES to come)
I'm still learning watercolor, but I love using it on my illustrations. Mermaids especially, as the color quality just seems to make the mermaids feel more alive! Your videos give me drive to learn more, and your stories always entertain and inspire. Keep being awesome!
I'm so glad you did an Arteza review, I've been waiting for someone to do one. I only discovered Arteza a few months ago so I've been a bit hesiatant to buy the watercolours, but they definitely seem worth trying after this video! If you're up for it I would love to see review on Arteza's real watercolour brush pens; they're so fun to use but I'm pretty sure I'm using them incorrectly! And I don't have the experience to compare them to other brush pens. I love painting dogs with watercolours, they're wonderful subjects to paint and the diversity in which one can paint with this medium makes the process more exciting. As always, thank you for the great video Emily!
This may sound strange, but I actually like painting fruit/vegetables with watercolour. Probably my best watercolour piece is actually of an artichoke, too. 😂♥️
For some reason when I first read this I thought you meant painting the actual vegetables I was imagining how watercolors stuck to them when I realized what you meant xD
I actually have the water brushes and I love them in general. I just wish it came with more than 6 of them. By the way, I love your work. It’s very interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a style like yours.
I love to paint just random objects I see on my desk and flowers. I really really want to start painting flowers and more flowers because they’re just so beautiful and unique and there’s so many techniques to painting them.
I'm so glad to hear about the issues that their tube paints have, I haven't tried them on my end but I'm also a big fan of putting together my own half pan sets from tube paints so it's good to know not to go that route should I ever pick up the arteza watercolors.
I love to do my Dungeons and Dragons Characters in watercolor, but I've rediscovered how much I love seals and Selkies through doing them in watercolor.
Something I love painting with water colour and idk why, but plants, cacti, succulents, flowers. I just love it and I can just imaging the wonderful greens that could be made using all those yellows and blues!!!
I got the set recently and am happy to say they did replace the printed swatch chart with their watercolor paper and empty boxes labeled with the color names on so you can make your own swatch chart!
I've been contemplating whether to get the 36 set or not, and after seeing your video it got me to thinking I may need to try them. Love your art and channel!❤
I used to hate watercolors but now I can’t stop using them because of your videos and tips. I can actually have confidence in myself when using them ❤️ Also, I mostly just color people with them 🙂
I just started with watercolors. Funny enough, i only have the larger set of prang watercolors (which i do like), and i wholeheartedly blame you for that purchase 💖💖💖
I havent watched you in so long. You used to inspire me so much. I don't really know why I stopped watching your videos. I'm gonna go binge. Thank you so much for your amazing videos.
I’ve been waiting for a good Arteza watercolor paper review 😍 when painting I love to paint my daughter. Last week I painted her riding on a giant cat 🐈 my imagination gets the best of me! Love you Emily!
i love to paint abstracty color washes and just letting the watercolor do what it wants make me so very happy because i can disconnect my thinking brain for awhile - sweet peaceful color bliss
Arteza seems to be on a promo tour, because Arteza reviews are all up in my Recommended, lol. Evvvverybody's getting their products right now and reviewing them. Probably helps boost the algorithm that I almost got their gouache to try and it's still sitting in my cart 😂 But honestly, I was kinda waiting to see if you got them too, and did a review. I trust you a bit more than others, to be honest and fair at the same time. You haven't steered this very-beginner wrong yet. 😊 PS. This very-beginner is trying them out with stylized chics. I've drawn them for years in graphite, but always felt that the learning curve for watercolors was way too much. Feeling braver now and TH-cam is much cheaper than Skillshare. Thanks for all your helpful, encouraging and hella entertaining guidance. 😊
I was so so SO afraid of watercolors and I pretty much only did acrylics which actually all sold really well. BUT after just this year entering the theatre technology and Design for costume design I was told all my renderings must be in watercolor. So, I sat myself down and eventually got comfortable with them. So much so that I actually haven’t painted an acrylic piece in a while due to lack of time and I just sold my own first watercolor piece! I always love your videos because you’re truly helping me with this journey and once my check comes in this palette looks perfect for me to get those colors I’m not quite skilled enough to mix on my own. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for my next check to come in to get my hands on this SOB.
I like painting nature scenes and space scenes with watercolor and acrylic paint. Art has allowed me to open up about my panic disorder and gives me peace. Very relaxing.
That many yellows, yeesh. I'm usually good with just a few- Bismouth, Hansa, and a Gamboge or Azo Yellow. You'd be surprised how much you can mix with those colors! I'd say these are definitely a higher end student grade paint. And the palette could certainly be reused by the artist when they feel comfortable enough to move on to professional quality. It looks nice enough. :) Well done on this, I enjoyed your video.
*appreciate the honesty in reviewing the colors for this pallet as i plan on ordering from this company soon...now i know which colors to focus on while assembling my own pallets*
Yeah and no white???? I thought she was giving an honest review until she said she didn’t care about no white and the cons are so weirdly specific that I didn’t believe her for one second
True. And these colors are not UV resistent. Especially the red is gone after a few weeks in the sun. Makes me sad how she sold herself for a few art items.
I love your watercolor art and your art style in general, I love your videos you are my favorite artist and so unique and funny Love you so so much ❤️❤️❤️
I love to paint semi realistic people along with plants. I dont know why something about hiw the watercolors mixs so perfectly together to make leafs for a plant is just so mesmerizing.
I'm not sure if she has reviewed the arteza watercolor tube set, but I would love if she did a seperate video on that and talk about it. I really like them they are smooth and bright. I did know before purchasing them that they fell off. So right when I got a hold of them I got a tube and a pan, pouring about 1/3 of hunny in the pan and mixed it with the watercolor paint from the tube. I've heard that most bindings used for watercolor are hunny so I tried it with one tiny pan to try it out and not waste all of my paint if it didn't work out. I didn't expect it to work but it did, it looked like a normal watercolor pan and worked amazing. I don't know if there was a difference since I didn't really test it out by the tube itself. So now they don't fall off and are like normal watercolors, plus I am saving a bit of paint. I also love it because it has a white. I do not use it to lighten colors, it turns pastel and I feel like whites in general make things muddy if you mix it. Although I do use it as gauche in a way, the white is really opaque which makes things pastel. So I use that to my advantage and use it for tiny highlights. :)
Thank you for being the ONLY TH-cam creator who didn’t go so hard in praising all arteza I’ve seen so many backtrack on tons of “no-no’s” they hold true to in many videos but then those are out the window when it csme to their arteza review and that ten percent code they get a commission on. they should have more been honest and go to the company like Emily did to note her concerns and still find things she liked to genuinely take to her audience. I will try the paper as I’m still on hunt for a good paper that’s not arches which I can use for practicing.
You know what's funny? I got SO many comments of people saying I gave a biased, only positive review! I was like "B...but I didn't..." I think they just watched the pro portion and didn't bother to finish watching to see what I really thought of these watercolors. I appreciate that you watched the whole thing!
I like experimenting with watercolors. From flowers to people, to calligraphy and animals. It's honestly extremely satisfying painting with water colors because of how smooth and even a color can be with just a spritz of water and a brush.
Thanks so much for this review! I've been considering buying the watercolor tubes, but I didn't know they weren't suitable for making a palette, which is how I like working best. Honestly, the pan palette has way more yellow/brown tones than I normally use, but the other colors look absolutely gorgeous. And for the giveaway, I mostly paint surrealist and gothic style portraits~!
Some arteza products are really good! I can totally recommend the gouache! But I don't get why you can not buy single paints. Just whole sets. That's such a same. I hope they'll change that...
Painting watercolor galaxies are so fun, easy exercise because you can't really go wrong with a galaxy. Also blushies on faces are fantastic to paint, 100%. I once had this big project I needed to present to my school and I went with a girl with galaxy hair, favorite thing I've ever painted. Love the video, always get Arteza ads and was worried they were kind of like artist loft so I never invested, good to know they're actually quality products!
your videos have me crying laughing. i love them so much. its refreshing to have a youtube artist who's like... pg-13 because i crack the hell up every time. i completely lost it at the DIPPING IN THE PINK and the ddlg with this paper bit. you are too much (in a good way).
I enjoy realism in watercolor and macabre subjects done colorful. I dunno why I dig rainbow skulls, but I'm there for it. You're spot on about the browns and yellows... no ultramarine is crazy!
My favorite thing to paint with water color is either flowers or hair. Like hair with water color, especially long hair, is so fun and ESPECIALLY when your doing a hair gradient it's so fun and I love it.
Eh... Working with Arteza is really sketchy with their team... They've fallen through with their contracts in the past... Putting in the list that they would give the artists a discount code to use or link and ended up having to be reached out to several times to only get a brick wall saying they didn't make that promise. And when they finally fessed up and gave the code/link... It didn't work. They are a sketchy and rude bunch...
Sadenna Swafford Really? I’ve had a really good experience with Arteza. Where can I read more about this? I’d like to know before I continue to work with them.
@@emilyartful It was a streamer/youtuber. He didn't put anything out in the end but told us he will never work with them again, they reached out to him again saying their "higher ups" were working on it exclusively and they still screwed it up with the wrong products sent too. His youtube is mostly about graffiti and his twitch is mostly oil paintings. If you want I can DM the person's info on twitter or insta if you would like?
I’ve been ordering from them for years and have never had an issue. My last order was with a deal from an Instagram post where I got an about $100 order of watercolor brush pens for $30.

I absolutely love Arteza's stuff, I've had their blendable markers for quite a while now and they're my favorite medium of art I've ever used. I recently got their fine tip pens to outline my art and it's all just,,, so great. I'm still growing in my art and want to paint more, and I'm certain that once I do get to that point I will be buying paints from Arteza
Oh! And another thing I love, buying specific colors of the markers when they run dry. I got a pack of the black everblend markers recently, four of em, for super cheap, they came in really quick, and none of those pens have dried out since!
4:50, I use white, and I wouldn’t call myself a beginner. I know I can’t really show any proof that I am not a beginner, but I’ve been doing art for about 4 years now (which, some could still say that is a beginner, I guess). And though I need to use the cheapest watercolor I can find, that doesn’t make me any less accomplished or unprofessional/a novice to watercolors. I like bold pastel colors and the white helps accomplish that. This kinda sounds like an attack/rant, I don’t mean that, but I think that others who use white shouldn’t be labeled as beginners or only using it for a smoky effect even if I’m the only one who believes this.
P.S.: I know teachers/professors ban white and other colors but I use it because it works the best with my style.
True, I myself like to use white to portray smoky effects or sometimes even lighten the colour when just water doesn't do the trick. I have been working with watercolors for two years now. I guess you could call me a beginner but not because of the use of white.
If you want pastel why not just dilute the water color?
i actually don't use white self for when i do highlights since i'm a illustrated i also use the white around my drawing
As a nail technician who incorporates white powder to accomplish a colored acrylic, white acrylic paint for custom color AND white polish to alter an enamel &/or gel polish color...WHITE IS SIGNIFICANT for my work!
Very true!! Whites are a tool to make a tint, in my opinion shes a little off with her assessment
I know Arteza for their sketch books. Their paper is always amazing, and work really really good for the medium it says.
Really? I bought their sketchbooks and the paper was hideous
There stuff is private labeled Chinese crap. Pretty sure this is a marketing person making the comment.
@@aoutsky No, I was mistaken. Their sketchbooks look similar to the sketchbook I often buy. I realize it was a different brand.
Yeah I own one and over working the paper is non existent
Eat A Duck which brand was it then? I would like to check them out
Other youtubers when reviewing Ateza: They’re absolutely *PERFECT* *Only says one bad thing about them*
Emily: *Blunt* *Honest* *Perfect*

Pros: blue
Neutrals: white
Cons: red
I don’t know why that confuses me
My issues with this company is their extreme price hikes. They started off being great for the price. However, within a year their prices have doubled and in some cases close to tripled. This is evident with their color pencil.
I love Emily and her art with every inch of my being. She is so inspirational and funny. Literally love everything she does. I love to paint people, faces, eyes, flowers, skulls, crystals, anything along those lines. Love the video!!
mikenzie leahy well keep trying
I love painting landscapes. I am definitely a watercolor noob , but feel like my time as a hairstylist helps alot in knowing colors to mix!
Emily: *trying to describe that one color*
Me: It looks like Magenta.
I've been using a small Windsor and Newton pallet for a while and was looking to upgrade to something with more colors. Arteza was one I was considering, so thanks for the review. I also like to paint people and occasionally animals. :P
I just purchased the Windsor & Newton Cotman 14 half pan set, and you can fit 9 additional half pans in the case if you purchase them individually from somewhere such as dickblick.com. 6 fit perfectly across where the brush is kept, and 3 can fit in the tiny water bowl. So now my 14 pan set is actually 23 pans and way cheaper than their other sets for more - with colors I actually want rather than what they standardized in their pricey sets. Give it a try, maybe you can squeeze more into your set and you didn't even know it.
The Windsor and newton watercolours are very good quality in general, but the price is such a bummer.. I have the big palette... but my savings really took a hit.. but they are really good! But I would choose the Arteza over Windsor and newton just because of the price.. but for me Windsor and newton have a better quality.. just putting it out there! (I also recommend the arteza watercolour Pens! They are absolutely amazing for travel because they are ready mixed watercolour in a pen and are brilliant for layering and you can mix colours and it comes with a water pen and AH I love them 😩) (( not sponsored 😂)) have a nice day xx
I love how you give reviews. This was way more info than I'm used to when hearing watercolour reviews and I do agree that the colour choices are unique! I orginally loved using markers to create my art with, but now I'm a watercolour junkie and now I want to collect them all. Tyanks so much for the review and I like to use watercolours to paint dark skin lovelies!
All of my art supplies are from ARTEZA, cheap but good quality. I love that brand!
And great vid as always Emily
Wait until you try professional quality shit, then you'd be like oh... OH
Really solid review as always, I super appreciate how you always add even the tiniest little detail! It def helps someone like me who needs to know as much as I absolutely possibly can before I make a purchase :p And, as far as the contest goes, I mostly paint old houses and pretty girls with spooky eyes.
What's amazing of this promo video, she still gave all the info and honest review with out slandering the company. Beautifully done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sounds like this is still a student grade watercolor set. No info on pigments? Lighfastness? True red, alizarin crimson or ultramarine blue? No way Jose. Also, while it sounds like a good thing that the colors didn't separate when you mixed them together, it sounds like there weren't any granulating colors. (ultramarine anyone?) Also tube paint that can't be dried and reused? That's some janky s--t.
I have tube paint and I can reuse it after it's dried up but it might be the ingredients, I'm still unsure
@@day6kz No, all watercolor can be reused after is has dried. The problem with some of the cheaper made tube paints though. like the Arteza ones, is that they become very crumbly after the dry. They can still be rewet and used, but you have to deal with a whole bunch of paint chips and crumps that you have to rewet, they don't stick nicely to the palette ina one blob like higher quality tube paints do, that's all. Once you get them all soaked and reactivated, you can paint with them just fine.
Cool Painting!! Thanks for the review!
I'm still a beginner but I really like painting nature and animals with watercolors. I don't have a lot of experience with watercolors but you Emily are one of the artists that inspire me the most. I absolutely love watching your videos. Don't ever stop being you because your admirers far FAR outweigh the lime green jello people.
They must have heard u about the swatch cards…my set came with a printed blank swatch card with the names of the colors on it matching the layout of the trays…and even some blanks so u can swatch your own mixes!
I just started getting into watercolor. But I've mostly painted flowers and water scenes. You actually really pushed me to work with watercolor!I usually work with acrylic paints.
Im so happy to finally hear an honest review. Even my professor recomended them but i hadn’t heard anything sustancial about the color choices.
The "I love dipping into the hot pink" nearly took me out! I've probably said that unrelated to art as well. Haha! Quality content. Glad I found this channel.

@@Kelslshea his sippy cup fell on the floor, and he can't pick it up with his baby arms. 🤣 And that makes me the skankiest of the skanks.
I’m so glad you did this review. I am new to water colors and asked my husband for some supplies for my birthday next week (11th coincidentally). I actually have arteza products in my wish list on amazon. I plan to make a watercolor journal about my days with my baby. He is starting to crawl and now has two teeth so I want to capture these memories through art.
I LOVE painting sunflowers with watercolors. The gradient is just so beautiful and much smoother than with acrylic. The layers just look very pleasing to the eye.
I’m so glad you’ve reviewed this! I’ve been commenting on so many youtuber’s videos asking for this, Thanks so much!
I don’t really paint too often and there was one of their products I had my eye on, the 36 premium brush markers? They look good but I’ve ordered them and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s smudgy and leaks through pages... not sure if it’s the paper I’m using but my parents spent a lot of money on it for my birthday and I’d love to be able to use them, would you be able to review them? Thanks
Is it the 'real watercolour brush pens' because they do go weird on some papers
Eve O’Donoghue It’s only like £30??
I did a ton of work with the real brush pens and didn't have problems, but paper is super important. They behave the best on watercolor paper, and if you use them on mixed media paper, keep water handy to smooth the ink out. I haven't had problems with them bleeding because I've used thicker paper. So far I love them!
uwu the one I got was like £70, maybe they got it somewhere else
Greyscale Rainbow Thanks so much, I’ll see if I have any tomorrow
I’ve just started watercolors and I find your videos super helpful and chill. I’m getting into painting scenes with kids or kid like characters in them and it’s turning into a real journey :3
I’ve been waiting for a video about arteza and you finally upload one! Thank you!
uwu
I love to paint people, places and plants with my watercolours, and my dog, Sandy - who was the reason I started to draw & paint in the last couple of years! Really enjoyed this vid!
I'm super excited that this affordable brand has been getting good reviews. Great news for low-end-intermediates like myself :)
My new favorite thing to paint has been (besides my go-to skulls and floral) snakes and furred animals. I love giving a good watercolor blotchiness to a snake body and then going in and picking out scales with a thin brush or micron :)
(also DDLG with the paper is going to make me laugh for AGES to come)
I'm still learning watercolor, but I love using it on my illustrations. Mermaids especially, as the color quality just seems to make the mermaids feel more alive!
Your videos give me drive to learn more, and your stories always entertain and inspire. Keep being awesome!
I really like to paint mystical creatures and semi realistic girls, btw i love your vids!💕
I'm so glad you did an Arteza review, I've been waiting for someone to do one. I only discovered Arteza a few months ago so I've been a bit hesiatant to buy the watercolours, but they definitely seem worth trying after this video!
If you're up for it I would love to see review on Arteza's real watercolour brush pens; they're so fun to use but I'm pretty sure I'm using them incorrectly! And I don't have the experience to compare them to other brush pens.
I love painting dogs with watercolours, they're wonderful subjects to paint and the diversity in which one can paint with this medium makes the process more exciting.
As always, thank you for the great video Emily!
This may sound strange, but I actually like painting fruit/vegetables with watercolour.
Probably my best watercolour piece is actually of an artichoke, too. 😂♥️
x / Aésthetic / x To think of it another way,you draw the evolved version of flowers so in a way, it’s more superior.Teach me your ways, young master!
For some reason when I first read this I thought you meant painting the actual vegetables
I was imagining how watercolors stuck to them when I realized what you meant xD
I actually have the water brushes and I love them in general. I just wish it came with more than 6 of them. By the way, I love your work. It’s very interesting. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a style like yours.
Thanks for doing this review! I was considering this exact set!
I love painting landscapes and flowers in vases with water colors. It always makes me feel calm
“i could’ve gone hammy and cheese” this is now my favorite thing ever said
I love to paint just random objects I see on my desk and flowers. I really really want to start painting flowers and more flowers because they’re just so beautiful and unique and there’s so many techniques to painting them.
me: *ready to comment*
emily: only for the us or uk
me: *sad south american noises*
Well the only way to get arteza products in South America and Mexico is amazon
I'm so glad to hear about the issues that their tube paints have, I haven't tried them on my end but I'm also a big fan of putting together my own half pan sets from tube paints so it's good to know not to go that route should I ever pick up the arteza watercolors.
I love to do my Dungeons and Dragons Characters in watercolor, but I've rediscovered how much I love seals and Selkies through doing them in watercolor.
Something I love painting with water colour and idk why, but plants, cacti, succulents, flowers. I just love it and I can just imaging the wonderful greens that could be made using all those yellows and blues!!!
I like to paint landscapes. I just did one in art class and got featured in an art show!! I love your videos💓💓
I got the set recently and am happy to say they did replace the printed swatch chart with their watercolor paper and empty boxes labeled with the color names on so you can make your own swatch chart!
I've been contemplating whether to get the 36 set or not, and after seeing your video it got me to thinking I may need to try them. Love your art and channel!❤
I used to hate watercolors but now I can’t stop using them because of your videos and tips. I can actually have confidence in myself when using them ❤️
Also, I mostly just color people with them 🙂
I just started with watercolors. Funny enough, i only have the larger set of prang watercolors (which i do like), and i wholeheartedly blame you for that purchase 💖💖💖
I havent watched you in so long. You used to inspire me so much. I don't really know why I stopped watching your videos. I'm gonna go binge. Thank you so much for your amazing videos.
that PIGMENT though!!! Edit: Momma artful noticed me!!! uwu
I’ve been waiting for a good Arteza watercolor paper review 😍 when painting I love to paint my daughter. Last week I painted her riding on a giant cat 🐈 my imagination gets the best of me! Love you Emily!
Arteza is King of cheap but good!
I love your reviews. They are perfect for regular people like me who are just dipping a toe in the watercolor world. Thank you so much.
Thumbnail not click baity at all. 👌 happy to see Arteza doing well as usual.
i love to paint abstracty color washes and just letting the watercolor do what it wants make me so very happy because i can disconnect my thinking brain for awhile - sweet peaceful color bliss
Arteza seems to be on a promo tour, because Arteza reviews are all up in my Recommended, lol. Evvvverybody's getting their products right now and reviewing them. Probably helps boost the algorithm that I almost got their gouache to try and it's still sitting in my cart 😂
But honestly, I was kinda waiting to see if you got them too, and did a review. I trust you a bit more than others, to be honest and fair at the same time. You haven't steered this very-beginner wrong yet. 😊
PS. This very-beginner is trying them out with stylized chics. I've drawn them for years in graphite, but always felt that the learning curve for watercolors was way too much. Feeling braver now and TH-cam is much cheaper than Skillshare. Thanks for all your helpful, encouraging and hella entertaining guidance. 😊
I was so so SO afraid of watercolors and I pretty much only did acrylics which actually all sold really well. BUT after just this year entering the theatre technology and Design for costume design I was told all my renderings must be in watercolor. So, I sat myself down and eventually got comfortable with them. So much so that I actually haven’t painted an acrylic piece in a while due to lack of time and I just sold my own first watercolor piece! I always love your videos because you’re truly helping me with this journey and once my check comes in this palette looks perfect for me to get those colors I’m not quite skilled enough to mix on my own. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for my next check to come in to get my hands on this SOB.
I like painting jars and glass and stuff so I like white to add reflections after i painted everything.
I like painting nature scenes and space scenes with watercolor and acrylic paint. Art has allowed me to open up about my panic disorder and gives me peace. Very relaxing.
That many yellows, yeesh. I'm usually good with just a few- Bismouth, Hansa, and a Gamboge or Azo Yellow. You'd be surprised how much you can mix with those colors! I'd say these are definitely a higher end student grade paint. And the palette could certainly be reused by the artist when they feel comfortable enough to move on to professional quality. It looks nice enough. :) Well done on this, I enjoyed your video.
*appreciate the honesty in reviewing the colors for this pallet as i plan on ordering from this company soon...now i know which colors to focus on while assembling my own pallets*
“Includes paid promotion” Well i guess i know the answer
Yep. I wouldn't buy this set for my 12 year old, let alone myself. It doesn't cost that much more to invest in actual quality. Quality over quantity.
Agree.
They sent the products to her, and she gave an honest review. Read the description
Yeah and no white???? I thought she was giving an honest review until she said she didn’t care about no white and the cons are so weirdly specific that I didn’t believe her for one second
True. And these colors are not UV resistent. Especially the red is gone after a few weeks in the sun. Makes me sad how she sold herself for a few art items.
I add honey or glycerin to my watercolor paints,glycerin is great with acrylics to make it more smooth.great video.🤗❤️🌹
I love your watercolor art and your art style in general, I love your videos you are my favorite artist and so unique and funny
Love you so so much ❤️❤️❤️
I love to paint semi realistic people along with plants. I dont know why something about hiw the watercolors mixs so perfectly together to make leafs for a plant is just so mesmerizing.
I'm not sure if she has reviewed the arteza watercolor tube set, but I would love if she did a seperate video on that and talk about it. I really like them they are smooth and bright. I did know before purchasing them that they fell off. So right when I got a hold of them I got a tube and a pan, pouring about 1/3 of hunny in the pan and mixed it with the watercolor paint from the tube. I've heard that most bindings used for watercolor are hunny so I tried it with one tiny pan to try it out and not waste all of my paint if it didn't work out. I didn't expect it to work but it did, it looked like a normal watercolor pan and worked amazing. I don't know if there was a difference since I didn't really test it out by the tube itself. So now they don't fall off and are like normal watercolors, plus I am saving a bit of paint. I also love it because it has a white. I do not use it to lighten colors, it turns pastel and I feel like whites in general make things muddy if you mix it. Although I do use it as gauche in a way, the white is really opaque which makes things pastel. So I use that to my advantage and use it for tiny highlights. :)
I agree with the color choices as well. I never, ever use brown and not much earth tone yellows.
Thank you for being the ONLY TH-cam creator who didn’t go so hard in praising all arteza I’ve seen so many backtrack on tons of “no-no’s” they hold true to in many videos but then those are out the window when it csme to their arteza review and that ten percent code they get a commission on. they should have more been honest and go to the company like Emily did to note her concerns and still find things she liked to genuinely take to her audience. I will try the paper as I’m still on hunt for a good paper that’s not arches which I can use for practicing.
You know what's funny? I got SO many comments of people saying I gave a biased, only positive review! I was like "B...but I didn't..." I think they just watched the pro portion and didn't bother to finish watching to see what I really thought of these watercolors. I appreciate that you watched the whole thing!
I like experimenting with watercolors. From flowers to people, to calligraphy and animals. It's honestly extremely satisfying painting with water colors because of how smooth and even a color can be with just a spritz of water and a brush.
9:37 gorgeous roses! Have you ever considered making patterns out of your art?
a stamp would be cute! or a stencil
Thanks so much for this review! I've been considering buying the watercolor tubes, but I didn't know they weren't suitable for making a palette, which is how I like working best. Honestly, the pan palette has way more yellow/brown tones than I normally use, but the other colors look absolutely gorgeous. And for the giveaway, I mostly paint surrealist and gothic style portraits~!
Some arteza products are really good! I can totally recommend the gouache! But I don't get why you can not buy single paints. Just whole sets. That's such a same. I hope they'll change that...
Painting watercolor galaxies are so fun, easy exercise because you can't really go wrong with a galaxy. Also blushies on faces are fantastic to paint, 100%. I once had this big project I needed to present to my school and I went with a girl with galaxy hair, favorite thing I've ever painted. Love the video, always get Arteza ads and was worried they were kind of like artist loft so I never invested, good to know they're actually quality products!
your videos have me crying laughing. i love them so much. its refreshing to have a youtube artist who's like... pg-13 because i crack the hell up every time. i completely lost it at the DIPPING IN THE PINK and the ddlg with this paper bit. you are too much (in a good way).
I enjoy realism in watercolor and macabre subjects done colorful. I dunno why I dig rainbow skulls, but I'm there for it. You're spot on about the browns and yellows... no ultramarine is crazy!
I ve been trying to find good watercolor paints
Try the White Nights palette, Prang, or Gansai Tambi. Daniel Smith, Schminke and QOR are fantastic but expensive.
CatMilk the prang watercolors are good for beginers but you cant layer at all.
The pentel pocket sets are good
Pentel and gansai are not lighfast
Art-n-Fly is good
I have fallen in love with watercolor in the last year and I love painting animals!
I like to paint bts members with my watercolours (loved the review)
I honestly don't use watercolors as much as I would like. Your videos always inspire me to try more watercolor.
I'm thinking about Arteza for their 60 gouaches. But the choice of color in their watercolor pallette is... meh.
My favorite thing to paint with water color is either flowers or hair. Like hair with water color, especially long hair, is so fun and ESPECIALLY when your doing a hair gradient it's so fun and I love it.
Eh... Working with Arteza is really sketchy with their team... They've fallen through with their contracts in the past... Putting in the list that they would give the artists a discount code to use or link and ended up having to be reached out to several times to only get a brick wall saying they didn't make that promise. And when they finally fessed up and gave the code/link... It didn't work. They are a sketchy and rude bunch...
Sadenna Swafford Really? I’ve had a really good experience with Arteza. Where can I read more about this? I’d like to know before I continue to work with them.
@@emilyartful It was a streamer/youtuber. He didn't put anything out in the end but told us he will never work with them again, they reached out to him again saying their "higher ups" were working on it exclusively and they still screwed it up with the wrong products sent too. His youtube is mostly about graffiti and his twitch is mostly oil paintings. If you want I can DM the person's info on twitter or insta if you would like?
@@hiddentidesgaming is this vexx?
@@krishnaanil No, it was another youtuber/streamer JonGrim, his youtube is TheArtistBlock
I’ve been ordering from them for years and have never had an issue. My last order was with a deal from an Instagram post where I got an about $100 order of watercolor brush pens for $30.
the arteza watercolor paper is amazing I plan on getting some once i go through my current pads. I love doing flowers and people the most
Really loving the clapping babies rating system for your review.
