Sakura has been in the business for many decades in Japan, and was one of the first to spearhead the use of long fiberous materials in their watercolour markers during the 1980's. Its no wonder that you found the kit so well thought out & properly attired. Their German, or Prussian Blue is really close in hue to Manganese Blue's found in other lines. The Koi sets are very finely ground, even if they aren't nearly as high in quality of pigments. Often the cakes or pans will start to lose moisture over time. A little Gum of Arabic will suffice in returning the flow your hoping find in them. It won't take much to resolve the ill. Great review. I'm certain the Koi line would be overjoyed to hear of your satisfaction. Take care.
Thank you for the information!I'm still getting more used to using actual color names so i was having a hard time describing it! And you're right about their sets just being planned out so well, there must have been years and years spent just making this box just the way it is. I haven't really saw the pans drying out so bad, even on my old set but the surface on some of them do look like they crack when they dry though I don't even notice it at all when I'm working
@@hambot the Koi Collection is by no mean's a beginner set, it is rather an Intermediate grade for enthusiast who demand vivid hues and consistent working qualities. The Prussian Blue has been much altered from past, since Phthalo is a far better tincturally, and doesn't need other inert fillers to keep its permanence and color. Manganese is a modern advent of the middle of the 20th Century being chemically more stable and cheaper to make for the Art Market. The old Prussian Blue often will destabilize over time and separate the binder from the pigment. You explain your craft better than most of my College Art Professor's ever could, so a pardon is hardly required. If we wanted to be novelist, we would paint with the word's leant by other's. With Art, all that is secondary, and expression is composition and color alone. Better in all respects, I would say. Very best wishes.
This the set I got when I learned watercolour from cheap sets and was ready to move on...i've had it for 3 years and I love it so dearly! The colours are so perfectly chosen and I never feel like there's a colour I don't use. They're my only watercolours, and I think I'll just get them again when they run out one day :D
Your art always inspires me to paint. Not only the finished piece is beautiful, but your process is loose, it’s almost magical how everything comes together. I hope you become a recognized artist one day.
ate, can you make your mixing palette visible while you're painting? i really appreciated the video that you made where you placed the mixing palette inside the frame cause i struggle so much when i try to figure out the color that i need whenever i'm painting. this is a suggestion but it's also okay if you won't do it if you're uncomfortable. i'd still watch your videos cause i love 'em!
i had sakura koi as my first watercolour set too! i used to love it until i realized the colour differences of it compared to daniel smith and winsor newton. it might not be a fair comparision because the price difference is huge, but i am truly impressed how your art skills utilized a student grade watercolour set to make such pretty art :)
those aqua brushes have been one of my top buys of 2022, they have been amazing, the amount of time, and ease of use has been a lifesaver, now i dont need to setup anything just pull this out add water and forget about the rest, great for quick sketches
You narrate it so nicely and I never really appreciate my koi watercolor set before, but after hearing this comment, I feel like I should appreciate it more. Thank you for this video. Your art is always so interesting.
My father will buy three for me, my mother and my sister. I didn't know the colors were that good, now I'm really looking forward to the product's arrival!
congratulations on 50k subs!!! you really deserve it! your art is amazing and you’re one of my alltime fav artists!!! i instantly fell in love with your videos and have been a subscriber since 3k!
As a perfectionist, your process for this piece made me so anxious! Your strokes are so loose, but I guess your a magician, cause at the end, everything turned out so perfectly.
I absolutely recommend superior watercolor, if it's any help. I found it to be comparable to Van Gogh or other upper end "student" colours. Some people even think that they're rebranded Paul Rubens paints with some filler in.
@@meanmurine tysm! Can I ask about its waterbrush tho, does it hold water well? I mean does it squeeze too much water or just normal amount.. I heard that it doesn't have stopper so yeah I'm curious
Helloo, I was planning on buying between prang watercolor and this set sakura koi. I've seen reviews that this set is a bit chalky, even so I read some great reviews. What should I get? Thank youu for any response
Ate buti hindi naman po bumabakat o nagsmear yung watercolor mo po sa ibang page ng sketchbook kapag tiniklop. Saakin po kase nasisira yung art ko sa isang page kase bumabakat yung watercolor na nasa isang page.At tanong ko lang po kung ginagamitan nio po ba ng fixative spray yong mga watercolor arts nio po?
You can choose a sketchbook that has 100% cotton and are thicker. I use 200 to 300 gsm. You can also make your own sketchbook so you can choose your preferred watercolor brand. ^^

this is the true definition of trust the process!
I love how you put all different colors together and create a beautiful art piece! Cause I'm really bad at colors ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Thank you Kristina! A big part of it is the color selection for this set, it's just so inspiring!

Same exactly how I and many other feels it's inspiring and non stressful, I wish I had a teacher like her❤️

Purpley sure! I can do more that way but i can't do all of them the same way because it disrupts the footage and can get distracting sometimes

can you also review superior watercolor? It's a pretty cheap set so I'd like to buy it as a practice for watercolor
I absolutely recommend superior watercolor, if it's any help. I found it to be comparable to Van Gogh or other upper end "student" colours. Some people even think that they're rebranded Paul Rubens paints with some filler in.
@@meanmurine yes that's trueeee superior watercolor is my ultimate favorite for lower price!

@@yngnfrs_9 I don't recall it having any significant issues, but I didn't use it for long. I prefer sable hair brushes.
I don't have them but a youtuber i follow made a great review on them very recently. Her channel name is Sarah Bailey!
It's amazing 🤩😁😍😍
Pretty hands with beautiful voice
❤️
So relaxing to watch you painting... you’re so chill and your style is aesthetic.
I just want to know which is better prang or Koi?
Funnily enough i used these today for the first time lol
Did you like them??
@@hambot yup, i don't have much experience with watercolours but they we're pretty easy to start with
I'm planning to buy these, how is it going for you?
Just ordered it! Can’t wait to try it! :)
Helloo, I was planning on buying between prang watercolor and this set sakura koi. I've seen reviews that this set is a bit chalky, even so I read some great reviews. What should I get? Thank youu for any response
This was amazing!
very beautiful!!
Nice painting!
do you use hot press, cold press, and rough paper? Please answer. Thank You
Wait, you're a Filipino? Aw gawd, this looks so good po!
could you review the superior watercolor? the superior is similar to the Sakura koi in appearance and its affordable too
I don't have them but Sarah Bailey here on youtube made a great review on them very recently!
Where did you buy your sketchbook???
Love the video ❤
Where do you get your reference photos?
😍
❤❤❤
Wonderful
Can you please make a video of portrait with gouache on black paper type art , please it's a request 🤗 I love your art style
I was planning on it but i don't have black paper! I'll try to order some of them soon
Can you make a watercolor tutorial using this water brush?
Can you do next : using gouache with alot water? Thanksss. I hope you see this
studio tour po and face reveal po ate hehe
Hahah my "studio" is just my desk tapos i have a couple of vidoes with my face on them, it's nothing special really😬
Hello, if you can show us how to paint using your way? Like how to mix colors harmoniously together? Thank you 🙏

@@shinlee5244 ahhh okok thank you😘
🔥
Can i ask what is that sketchbook you use??
♥
what pen is she using? 🙃
for 20 pounds over here, this looks like a nice affordable set
Wow I really hate my Koi Sakura watercolour but watching this makes me think twice. XD
I thought sakura wc is bad of a paint. But fr I'm just bad at color combos😭😭
Me :thinks bout asking if its watercolor paper
Her : blah blah .....because its not watercolor paper.
😭 sorry! I should've made it clear from the start. The company that makes this sketchbook i believe also has a watercolor version for it
@@hambot you don't need to apologise! It's fine !
AQUÍ LOS Q NO SON GRINGOS Y ESTÁN VIENDO ESTO DE TODOS MODOS! XD
I find your drawing process very inspiring. But you should be careful not to touch your colors. The pigments are toxic and can be harmful to health.
