Your honesty is so extremely appreciated thank you so much for the valuable in depth review. Please continue doing your reviews so well. I’m going to subscribe for the valuable information you offer in videos like this one. You are also a skilled watercolorist and I feel I could learn from your skills and talents. Thank you again for such wonderful content !!
Hi, MrG. Nibs. Thank you for the kind words and for encouraging me to keep doing what I do. all your support fuel me. You are welcome and see you around. I also subscribed to your channel. :)
Watching your 2 ads without skipping sir hahahaha ehem giveaway HAHA
Hahahah. Anong gusto momg giveaway? Itong Marie's nalang ba? 😆
Omg I just looked back and saw your cover of My Valentine. You sing SOOOOO beautiful.
Hahaha. Omg. That was sooo long ago already. But thank you. ☺️🙏
Hi,thank you for the lovely painting by using Marie 's watercolour paint. This set is designed for students and beginners. When I started painting,I used this brand in China,I did enjoy using them. But when our level is higher,we know how to use the paint better and choose higher level paint. The beginner does very simple painting, not a four different distances in one landscape as you did. They paint very simple painting, so it's easy to deal with the colours and mix with colours.And Marie has an artist grade set, i really love it. Yes, the quality is very good as its price. But don't try the Chinese traditional paint use as watercolour, they are totally different.
Hiii. thanks. Yes, i understand now. And i have also used their professional grade the Maries Masters. I have reviewed it in a separate video and showed the masters tube at 1:05 too. I've also been using Maries since i was a kid. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you for the reply, I will have a look your video later, didn't realise this one you did was two years ago. Sorry, should watch more then write a message. Paint hasn't been changed, but we have changed a lot. I still remembered how excited I was when I got the first set of paints. To explore the different things is always fun, and find the right art supplies is hard. But when I use the kids paint and play with them, it's nothing about how expensive the paint is, it's the passion and fun. Thank you for making this video. It made me think quite a lot yesterday.
When will you be doing more painting? We love what you are teaching us! Please sir, continue to do these amazing paintings!
More to come, for sure! I am actually planning to upload twice in a week when my work relaxes a bit. Thank you for your patronage and support. :)
Interesting review, love how you set up your swatches and sample painting. I have a different set of Marie's Watercolors and they swatched way better than this set. :) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing! Maybe yours is a higher grade?
Very honest but very fair review to the brands!
hi. i need to be honest Ria, otherwise, this will be useless. thank you for watching. 🙏🎨☺️
Oh MILO! I miss MILO.
I'm surprised PRANG does so well because of the low cost. I think it's great of them to provide that.
Milo! :)
Yes, that's why many schools and professors in PH recommend Prang to their students.. although, I have noticed a lower quality in their paints compared to their set 15yrs back.. :(
I do think na disappointing ang reviews ng Marie's watercolor dahil hindi siya intended for cotton paper. The paints are meant for traditional Chinese painting through silk and rice paper.
In their website, they have a dedicated set for Traditional Chinese painting (link below). So i believe yan yung tinutukoy mo po. But this set i reviewed is their typical watercolor lang released internationaly. Aside from this set, they also have the artist grade watercolor "Maries Masters", which I reviewed din here, and it's quite good, no issues on cotton paper at all. And it's cheap. Hope you could also check it out.

Hi po! super fan nyo po ko❤ Halos nung pagkasimula ng quarantine lagi ko po pinapanood videos nyo! i'm glad i found your channel po! Nagaaral palang po ako mag watercolor at super helpful po ng ga videos nyo!
Hi Jennifer. Thank you for watching my videos and for the support. Im glad to know na helpful ang channel kasi dito rjn ako sa TH-cam natuto years ago. 🙏🏻☺️😀 Keep safe.
Your reviews are amazing but omg I wished I watched this video before purchasing. I used to paint and I thought I wanted to start again so I bought this exact Marie's watercolors but the one in 14 colors, addition for gamboge and cerulean blue. It's brand new, out of the plastic, and I had to use a hammer to squeeze out 3 of the tubes that were rock hard! I still couldn't get burnt umber out.
Hi, thank you. 🎨🙏 maybe it was an old stock you got. Sorry to hear about the bad experience.. where did you get them btw?
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you for replying! I'm not sure if they have this store on other countries but it's a well known stationary store called Gramedia. The quality should be expected of them considering the price they put up, but yeah maybe I got an old stock, unfortunately.
@@lnkfstn ohh. Did you try reaching out to the store about the issue? They should be willing to do something about it..?
Thanks for the review! Where did you get your ceramic palette?
sorry for the late reply. i got it from a local seller at Carousell. it's a Jack Richeson Porcelain palette . ☺️
Hello, I'm a new subscriber to your page! I love your watercolor brand reviews. I think I have this Marie's set but the box is different it's in a blue box not green but the watercolor tubes packaging inside is almost the same with this one and all the colors inside. My 1st watercolor was the chalky simbalion I bought when I was still in the Philippines I stopped painting for a long time because I was so disappointed with my outputs using simbalion but when I got a hold of this Marie's cheap watercolor here in the Middle east it was the only decent and cheap watercolor I could find much better than the other local brands. I actually like it better and my outputs are far more better than using the simbalion. I'm considering buying an artist grade watercolor set because I want to invest in a better set of paints so that I could make better artworks but I'm so confused what to get at all I see a lot of good reviews on US and European brands like Daniel Smith, Schminke, Sennelier, and White Nights. I also see lots of good reviews on Asian brands like Holbein, Mijello, and ShinHan watercolors sets. That's why I'm confused and can't choose what to get at all hahaha I really like bright colors and granulating watercolors. I want your opinion on this what would you choose? Quality and budget wise what set to choose? I have not tried watercolor pans yet except for the simbalion. So I don't know if it's better to stick to tubes or try the pans. To be honest where I am right now there's not much of these brands that is easily accessible on the local art store so I will probably order online overseas and it will cost me a fortune so I just want an investment that I will not regret at all. Thank you.
Hi Alice, welcome to my channel. I can understand your disappointment brought by not so good material. I have experienced that in grade school and even blamed myself believing it was me who was at fault. In my experience, all artist grade paints I have tried are all great. i mean they are vibrant and easy to work with. Not chalky and a little paint goes a long way because of high pigment load. But I think, You are now on the stage where you are starting to identify your cup of tea when it comes to paint brands..different artist grad have different fortes. If you want granulation, wide color range and special pigments (some semi precious stones), the choice is nothing but Daniel Smith. If you are into super bright paints, go for Holbein or Mission Gold. If you want translucence and do a lot of layering in your work, I suggest Sennelier. If you want subtle and buttery smooth lovely paints, Schmincke is the for you. If you want the most affordable but also good artist grade paints, get White Nights. If you want very flowy paints, QOR is the only one to have. the most pigmented are Daniel Smith next to Mgraham, but it never dries on pans. See, there are lots of options. If i had to really pick one for you, I would suggest you to get ether the Daniel Smith ultimate mixing Set (pans set) or the White NIghts Pans set. :)
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you very much for your input sir Allan. It was a good thing that I didn't completely give up wanting to learn how to paint Watercolors because I actually thought it was me that's not good but it was the materials after all. It was frustrating, I also learned this the hard way when I 1st bought cheap thin pulpy Watercolor paper hahaha. I'm so glad I asked you this question since you almost tried every Watercolor sets in the market.... I'm now leaning towards DS,Mijello and White nights. I'm so excited to get my hands on those sets 💖. Also I hope you'll do watercolor inks reviews.. Thank you very much and stay safe!
I haven't tried Marie's watercolors. Wow, may Masters sila! But siguro if may pambili ako nung elementary eh Marie's gusto kong bilhin.haha. Was able to try Prang watercolors 5yrs ago when I thought of trying out to paint, so I borrowed it from my sister. From then on, painting has been my fave activity. I've managed then to buy my own ~Sakura Koi watercolors for drawing and hand lettering as well.
Forget this Marie's sets of you have more options now. The Masters for sure is gonna be better, but I'm not sure how much better.. so, let's see
☺️
I am both happy and sad na ngayon ko lang nakita yung channel nyo, Sir. ur detailed reviews are highly appreciated
Hi Patricia. Better late than never, sabi nga nila.hehe. welcome to my channel po. 😊 thank you so much.
Please review the scmincke watercolor hehe Nice landscape po :D
soon!! im still completing my palette. I want to have 24. currently, i only have 18 :)
Hello, today I just bought mari´s watercolors, I want to learn and they seemed to me that they were the right ones before I went to the professionals, thanks for your content, I found it very useful, you could make one on watercolor paper, buy one in a 160 china store gr to learn the same, greetings from Chile
Hi Alicia. Yes, this Maries set is recommended for learners and these are good paints for the reachable price. Enjoy your watercolor journey. 🙏🎨
I have been using these for as long as I've been doing art.....Hopefully the O.win watercolors will be a great improvement btw im a new subscriber
hi again. how's your experience so far? i hope it satifies you. O.Win will be a hreat imporvement depending on what you used before these paints. So, which brand did you switch from?
@@AllanJayQuesada i am still unfortunately using tge marie's student grade tubes.cuz i dont know wether to go for Owin or pretty excellent lol in my plaace art is said to be a "waste of time and money" so i really need to pick the best watercolors cuz my budget is very limited and i really dont get that many opportunities to buy art supplies all the time 😅
@@fatimarumman5464 in my opinion, OWin is better than the student grade of Maries. For as long as you are having fun with your paints, it should be alright. Some people even here in my country have the same low balling treatment for artists.. we can't stop it right away, but we can atleast elevate the way we look at ourselves and genuinely appreciate our works and our co-artists' craft. 😉
@@AllanJayQuesada Ok Owin it is then
But seriously thanks for all the help i really needed it😊
Nyay I'm so early
Early 🐦 😁👏
Being honest with reviews is good! Very impressed with how well you worked with the limitations of not having a proper blue there. Their 18 tube set does have a Ultramarine and a Cerulean blue shade, at least. Very odd they didn't include either of those in the 12!
Thank you!! It would not make sense if I would not be telling my real experience. I actually saw the 18 color set, with the blues that I want, and I feel a little sad for the brand not to include those colors in the smaller set. Im sensing theyre doing this so that the more serious artists choose the 18 color set. heheh
@@AllanJayQuesada Quite possibly! Though the 18 color set isn't that much more than the 12, if I remember correctly. I do wonder if the other blues are a little more expensive, since the browns are always cheaper, and that was the logic. Either way, it just results in a poorly balanced set.
@@FranNyan yeah.. most blues like cobalts and ceruleans are always more expensive but if it's just Ultramarine, it's cheap cause it's always series 1 , 2 or A.. 😔
Great review! I’ve been meaning to give this a go too, but if same lang naman with the Koi I’ll give them a pass na lang haha :)) can’t wait for you to review the Schmincke ones 💚
Alsooo, have you heard about the Pretty Excellent set of 24/36? I saw a review from an artist dito sa TH-cam that compares it to the Paul Rubens na set, and she contacted the company daw and turns out same manufacturer! Would be awesome if you include that to the battle royale hahah. I saw a shop on Shopee that sells it for P599 for the 24 set and P799 for the 36 set under Meiliang Watercolor name but it looks to be the same as the one I saw reviewed here :)
Hahaha. If you're planning on getting Schmincke, I'm sure you're gonna love it, kahit di ko pa siya narereview. It's very smooth and easy to use.☺️
Yes, I heard that too.. and some people say, p.rubens and pretty excellent are just the same paints with different packaging.. I'm not sure though with meiliang though at it sounds too cheap be close to p.rubens' quality.. hmm. Yes, theres only one way to find out, and that is to have my own set of it. I'll check if it's obtainable in this season. ☺️
Ang notoryus na Marie's hahaha.... Pero maganda yung Marie's Master nila P90 lang 9ml nila..
hahaha. Oo nga. mukhang promising nga yung masters. Binili ko yung 19 colors na available sa TOPs. excited nako icompare ito sa Masters. haha
What is the best for student??maries or pentel or camel artist🤔🤔....what is the easiest to use??
Hmm. Camel Artist Grade is the best among all youve mentioned. 😊🎨
What is the brand of the brush that you used here?
Both flat and pointed are Escoda optimo po.
Thank you very much
You're welcome and thanks as well for watching. 🙏
Iam a biggener what should I buy fine arts . Art rangers . Basics. Maries
theyre kind of comparable po. but i was surprised with art rangers being the cheapest. But if you can afford, the Maries Masters Watercolor, it's the cheapest artist grade.. i have some at shopee.

Is this better than the pentel watercolor?
i think theyre close but it feels that the Pentel are smoother. I had no binder and pigment separation issues unlike in Maries. You may also watch the review of Pentel here - th-cam.com/video/OyHgGIwiqSQ/w-d-xo.html
nice
😁🎨🙏
great video!
Hi! Thank you. 🙏🎨
Where do you get your paper?
Hello. Sa Lazada, they have Arches Roll of 10yards. Or message ms kathryn puyat on fb. Direct seller of arches po.
24 colours 5ml tubes and free brushes, are only RMB18, approx USD2.5, guess they are good for beginners
Surely works for beginners. 😊
Please try the gouache marie
Will do soon po. :)
This is for use on rice paper for Chinese brush painting. As you demonstrated this paint doesn't work well on watercolor paper. Get some rice paper and have some fun with this paint. Millions of Chinese artists can't be wrong. Have a great day😀
Yes, you are right.. and If this is best for rice paper, Maries shoulve also made a specialty paper for their paints.. I believe it is not easy to scout rice paper, even from here in the Philippines where rice is abundant.
Thank you for reviewing this. Now I know certainly that I won't buy it!
Now I feel a little guilty for being disappointed about this set. Hehehe. But yes, I will stand for what I honestly felt about this set.. you are welcome. 😉
@@AllanJayQuesada Don't be guilty! We all have our preferences. Yes, what matters is your honesty for all of us.
Also, to think that Simbalion watercolors has a following. Can you imagine?? 😂😂😂
Never really had the eyes on this set though. Too many other greater sets.
Definitely aiming for White Nights and Mijello Mission Gold Pure Pigments first! ❤
@@AllanJayQuesada Btw po, I hope you review Mungyo Watercolors set if only, you feel like getting your hands on it. Other youtube artists say they're good but I'd like to hear your opinion on it. They say it's not that pricey and this company also made Prima Marketing paints. Thank you! ❤❤❤
@@RanGotPunkd09 the way I understand other artist's research, same Lang Yung Mungyo sa Prima and Jane Davenport.. repackaged Lang kumbaga. I'm not sure when can I have my Mungyo set, but maybe for now, you can checkout 1st my Prima Tropicals review..for the meantime. 😉
@@AllanJayQuesada Okie dokie! Will do! Thank you! 🤗
the way you used the colors made them leap off the page!
oh, thank you again, Brooke! I want to make the most out of every set the im reviewing to be fair. and im glad you appreciate my work here. :)
Maries Gouache is better than watercolor 😊
Oh, really? I have sold some Maries Gouache in the past because it has great reviews, without actually having to try them. sana pala ginamit ko yung isa. :)
everyone is saying very honest but he put no effort in that painting with marie’s and it looks awful, the review was obviously unfair
I try to put the same effort in each painting per brand I review, yet the results won't all be the same. My comments are based on the paint's character and not on the 'beauty' of the painting. And as they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I respect your opinion. I have no reason or motive not be fair on any brand, so I don't understand why I was "unfair" here. If the sample paintings are not of the same quality, you should've just looked at side by side swatches and texture of the paints.
And by the way, the painting style is loose style, so it is on the effortless side.. it needs to be done in less than 30mins.
They should give them away free as they are awful
Haha. Or should they just imporove their product.hehe
