I really like these paints for fun quick sketches. I've had them for a month and the sticker labels are starting to be hard to read. I made a swatch that fans out like the set (You could do tidy swatches with the stamps!) And that really helped with the samy blues. I chopped up a bunch of bookmarks from watercolor paper and painted a bunch with the waterbrush at a craft fair. It was great for a portable cheap option. I think I like the novelty of it lol;) have a good one!
A cool set for travelling, esp. for a newbie (like myself) that just wants to practice making 'free form' leaves & flowers. However, I can see where a more experienced painter wouldn't be a huge fan. As I said, for a newbie on a budget, it would be a great set to practice with. TFS!
I like how you brought back face to face intro video or talk through video as you used to before. I really enjoy watching you talk about new or not so new products. Thank you for your time.
So great to hear your reviews and actually see you using the product. You’re my inspiration for watercoloring and I can’t wait for the rest of your videos this week. Thanks for sharing your talent.
About mixing purples. For years, I thought that red was a primary color -- it's what they teach you in school, right? It turns out that red isn't a primary; magenta is. That's why color printers have yellow-cyan-magenta cartridges rather than yellow-blue-red. You can get red by mixing magenta and yellow. You can't mix any other colors to get magenta -- that's what makes it a primary. I was blown away to learn this, but once it's explained it made perfect sense. So the trick to mixing purples that are vibrant is to start with magenta and cyan blue, and the purples you get will be clear and bright and not muddy. The warmer the red you use (i.e. the more yellow it has) the muddier your purples will always be. Talk about a lightbulb moment, for me.
You are correct but also incorrect. The magenta, cyan etc. are the colors we use in printing. Of you look at any cardboard box with color printing on it, look for a small group of colored circles. They are usually on one of the small, inside flaps. You'll see there is black, white, magenta, cyan and yellow. All printed colors are made up of these colors. This is true of all inks. The primary colors they teach you in school are red, yellow and blue. The reason for the difference is because those 3 primary colors are made of naturally occurring pigments. Natural pigments run from iron oxide and ochre (minerals) to certain fruits and plants and even animals (cochineal beetles). This is something that I believe should be taught in elementary school but, alas, it so rarely discussed that unless you work in a print shop, try to make paints using the methods they used during the renaissance or just happen upon the information, you may go your entire life never knowing this. The more you know....
@@timmyianni2309 - Yes, CMYB is used in printing because they are *actual* primaries, i.e. colors that cannot be created by mixing, but can be used to create all other colors. So if you use CMYB that is the smallest number of colors necessary to mix to any desired mixed color. Both cyan and magenta require modern chemical processes to create, and tend to produce colors that are less lightfast over time, so it's good to be aware of their properties and limitations. As you suggest, the traditional primaries (RGB) are traditional because they were the closest to actual primaries that could be achieved with naturally occurring pigments, but in the sense that I am talking about, i.e. color mixing to produce a desired color, red is not a primary. A primary is a color that cannot be mixed out of other colors. Red can be created by mixing magenta with a little yellow. That makes red a secondary color. And that yellow component in red will make it impossible to mix a truly vibrant purple using it. Purples mixed out of red and blue will always be a bit muddy. Which was all that I was trying to point out.
So surprised to come across this video!! My daughter recently gave me this set from her stash. I thought she had picked them up in Japan years ago. So glad I came across this video. Thank you!
Hi Kristina, I wanted to drop a message about two things. I *love* the new format you are using with being in front of the camera for an intro and finale. It is so nice to see your smiling happy face!! The second is how excited I am about watercolor week!!!!!! Yaaaahhhhhoooooooooo! Thank you so much for doing what you do here on TH-cam. You are in my top 3 of creators I love to watch. Betsy in the Seattle suburbs
$15:99 now on Amazon. Nice video, Kristina. You have changed your style and it suits you. I have been following you since i started making cards, about 5 years now. I continue to learn from you, so thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion. I have enjoyed watching you grow as well. 🙂💜
Hi Kristina! I've only recently started to dabble in paints, so I really appreciate your in-depth review of f the paints, as well as, your explanation of how you color swatch. Have a great day!
I'm loving your intros lately! It's always great to see a face with the talent as it humanizes the experience. You're just a crafty rebel breaking from the norm of crafty videos! :)
Fabulous review Kristina. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying that I honestly appreciate reviews/suggestions by crafters such as yourself. It takes so much of the guesswork out for many of us. I first saw these Waffle Flower stamps this morning in a Laura Bassen video and thought these stamps were pure genius and something completely original. Thanks for sharing your ideas and opinions; I appreciate all that you do. Have an awesome week! ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters
Interesting! I'm not great with watercolor but love the look of it. I like your new video format. I started watching your videos around this time of year about 5 years ago, lol. TFS!
So I really love those waffle stamps!! That's now on my short term wishlist!! I love the swatches that you made. I have been considering getting this set myself straight up for travel. I really love mixing colors. It's satisfying for some reason. I have a small travel palette with some warm primaries and cool primaries. I haven't actually used them yet, but I have swatched them. I cannot wait to give them a try in the field. Thanks. Very useful review!! Thanks.
thank you for sharing! I have just started making color wheels with some of my stash! Also teaching kids to make one with markers I always enjoy your wisdom and admire your talent. Thanks again
Kristina, thank you so much for your reviews. I really take to heart what you say when I'm ready to purchase. Those paints being under $19, I think it's great for traveling purposes or painting while waiting at a long doctor's visit! Thank you.🤗💕
My set is arriving in today's mail! Based on your & Lindsey's observation on the palettes color swatches being paper - I'm thinking of coating mine with a thin layer of Glossy Accents or maybe clear gesso before taking them for a test drive. Also ordered all the WF swatch/color combo sets (I've been so good about buying "tools " for so long - these are my reward - lol) & cant wait to receive those as well. Nina's engineering background really shines on this release.
I have these watercolors too and they colors are quite bright. I like a few of the blues. 5, 6, and 7 on 42/8 are very pretty blues. It's also nice to have the wide variety of greens.
I love this set! I first saw it on The Frugal Crafter’s channel and loved how they performed. I really didn’t like the water brush, mainly because the water flow was hard to control. I swapped it for a Pentel Aquash in the slot and it fits perfectly! Lindsey also said she was going to refill used up pans with tube paint, which I thought was genius. Also, there are other colors available, like pastels, on Amazon. Great video!
Thanks Kristina I was wondering about these paints. By the way I always thought you were pretty but the new you is amazing! Love your make up, all the best❤
I bought the set of paints still have not used them. and then ordered the stamp set today so will be really great to make out swatches for them like Lindsay thefrugalcrafter said. thanks for all of your great videos Kristina!
ha ha i saw these on FB too and first thought in my head was “I wonder if Kristina is gonna do a video?” yay love your videos as always! i learn so much! thank you!
I saw the set on Frugal Crafter and put it on my Amazon wishlist. My sweetie's dad gets us stuff from that list from time to time, so I was thrilled to get the watercolour set this morning. I took the set with me to my day job to do a little watercolouring at work during lunch. I like the colours except there aren't any "flash" tones. I'll have to figure out a good mix with these. I agree about the included brush being too big. The brush looks a lot like the inexpensive Mudder set I carry in my purse. I agree, too, about the colour at the hinge. But, for less than $20, it's a very nice set. It will be handy to carry in a purse or other bag. Nice set of stamps. I'll have to put them on my wish list.
Great presentation - thank you. Suggest the 5 water brush set which has finer to broad...very fun when traveling. Your drinking water bottle is a great source for your water, as well.
Hi Kristina, Great Product Share! I picked these up a couple weeks ago on Amazon as well. Used them on vacation at the beach and felt like they were pretty nice for travel. I, too have seen a variety of versions of this set and it’s hard to really see who makes them. But, I thought they were a great little on the go, papercrafting and in the journal kind of set. I felt they granulated a bit leaving some nice texture and you can kind of get them to be gouache like. Not sure about how lightfast they are. Couldn’t find anything online. For the price, it’s great for travel and starting to play.
I have seen this set advertised all over. I thought this was an excellent review. The only thing missing is a lightfast test. It's something few watercolor reviews have. I would have liked to see a second swatch, like the first, left out in direct sunlight for a week or so. Just to see how they hold up. Pricier pro watercolors usually tell you what colors are lightfast, but these cheaper ones don't.
I'm a bit confused why you think the water brush is too big for these pans. The pans are larger than regular watercolor pans. I would think it easier to use than a reg. sized pan? I think these will be great for on the go. I plan to pick them up very soon. They are in my cart. And I really want to get the stamps. Sooo great. These will make swatching much nicer. TYFS
oh the joys of Amazon!! am a brand spanking new watercolorer. as in, i absolutely suck at this so far lol. i kinda like this set - makes me feel artistic while i practice being awful rofl.
Got mine for $16.00 on amazon! Still playing with them and not sure how I feel yet. I kept Seeing Lindsay W. Play with them and was intrigued. Those stamps are really interesting!
Thank you for your honest review, Kristina! What you mentioned about getting a "good" purple is true for all color mixes. There is basically no such thing as a "true" (unbiased) red, blue, or yellow. Reds lean either towards yellow (e.g. Cadmium Red) or blue (e.g. Quinacridone Magenta). Same for blues (lean towards red/purple or yellow/green) and yellows (towards blue/green or red/orange). So, each primary has a warm & a cool version. As a result, if you really want a full range--of both bright & dull color mixes--from just the primaries, you'd need a warm & cool of each primary color. There is a fantastic book by Michael Wilcox called "Blue & Yellow Don't Make Green," that tells all about color mixing, using 6 primary colors. (You can find it at least on Amazon: www.amazon.com/Blue-Yellow-Dont-Make-Green/dp/0891346228/ref=sr_1_1.) It really helped me a lot when I was still painting, & I still use that knowledge when I'm mixing colors to paint images for cards. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that, in case anyone's interested. Can't wait to see what else you have in store for Watercolor Week! Hope you have a great day! :)
Yes! I learned of this split-primary color theory several years ago with a Schmincke gouache set for calligraphy where they included (and explained) the need for a warm and cool version of each primary to prevent desaturation of mixes. A couple of years ago I heard of Michael Wilcox and bought his color mixing palette (www.michaelwilcoxschoolofcolor.com/product/watercolour-palette/) which I love. He also has a laminated, inexpensive color wheel sheet that you can practice on and wipe clean.
In my opinion This set of watercolors are basically a drop ship or bulk order from china namely ali express where I've seen them being sold all over the site but under different brand names. I think these paints are customizable with a brand name by Who ever will be selling them. I've seem these named medeen as well. I saw lindsy review this set on her you tube but hers were the medeen brand. Just wanted to pass this information which I have observed during my web browsing.
Got mine the other day. Also ordered from Amazon. There are a number of sellers and price points (I chose Meeden for $15.99). I have been pleased so far. As to the waterbrushes, they are an almost exact duplicate to the Jane Davenport (empty)ones that I bought at Michael's. I have had no issues with the brush that was included. There are a couple of minor design flaws with the fan deck (one that keeps you from fanning out all of the trays all the way at once). Some of the colors are very similar to each other. However, this is to be expected with an item at this price point. There is no pigment information, which is a shame, but again not surprising. I will be taking a set of swatches to use for lightfastness, as virtually all of the colors are quite rich, and I will be curious to see how they hold up. They have a set of 48 half pans and tins for $25-30, so that could be an option, as well.Great review!
A pro artist using the system of RBY.. For anyone who might care, switch your mixing to magenta, cyan and yellow and you'll have beautiful vibrant colors. Red and blue are not primary pigment colors.
Thanks for this review! I had seen these and I was curious about them. It’s crazy that they wouldn’t protect the labels somehow. I mean... water, duh! 😂

Hola que preciosidad sabes en España como se llaman estas acuarelas? Me encantan besito
I heard you choking on the word "perfectly"...I'm sorry that you got such a hard time over that. I always appreciate your videos, and have learned so much from them. Thanks as always.
Great review of the stamps and paints, but be carefull, some of the shops that sell this paint set used other TH-camrs (Eve Bolt - Bolts Vault and Malamik Art) videos and paintings without permission. Hope that doesn't happen to you, the florals are really beautiful. Did you use them for a card? What do you do wit these test paintings? Have a great day!
Hi, I would be reviewing a similar product but goes by the name of Brustro Watercolor Pocket set. I would really like my viewers to know that the same set is being retailed under different names. I wanted to check if you may permit me to link this video to the video on my channel so my viewers may cross-verify. This will be mutually beneficial. Do let me know. Thanks
Go on create and craft and get the eureka so much better for stamping AND watercolour also a new company starting up thirsty brush co is all about watercolour and is booked by create and craft they just released their own pallete of the one your using
They're cheap because they are counterfeits from China. I forget the name of the genuine company because it was some time ago I saw and bought these from Wish😔 While they are not terrible I'm annoyed at myself for buying them because I'd never buy a cheap copy of someones art or products knowingly. Already got stung buying Pigma Microns on EBay that were fake and NOT waterproof 😕
Just so addictive to watch all these watercolor kits
God, I love your voice! Hearing you talk is the most soothing thing ever!
I really like these paints for fun quick sketches. I've had them for a month and the sticker labels are starting to be hard to read. I made a swatch that fans out like the set (You could do tidy swatches with the stamps!) And that really helped with the samy blues. I chopped up a bunch of bookmarks from watercolor paper and painted a bunch with the waterbrush at a craft fair. It was great for a portable cheap option.

Interesting set of watercolor. Thanks for the test :)

Thanks Kristina I was wondering about these paints. By the way I always thought you were pretty but the new you is amazing! Love your make up, all the best❤
Thank you, K Werner for the video.
I took these on a recent trip with a stack of images to watercolor. I included 2 Arteza water brushes and I was able to have fun on my trip.
I’m loving this new format of videos. Seeing you is so nice - maybe in your future you could have a camera crew like in tv programs... 🤩
Very informative. Thank you.
Nice video ! 😄
I bought the set of paints still have not used them. and then ordered the stamp set today so will be really great to make out swatches for them like Lindsay thefrugalcrafter said.

Bought for 10$ at Walmart today. I’m so in love already
Thanks for sharing. I believe these would work well for traveling. Still need to carry water ...

I saw one of the TH-camr reviewed this and..... It was hard to reopen the cover after it dried.
This looks like a nice affordable set for a beginner.
Which one is better, the koi watercolor or that one?
Very nice

Yes, I designed it many years ago when I worked for BasicGrey. They used to sell it. Now, the design is in their fabric line with Moda Fabrics.

I wonder if you could use it on plane
Great video! I love the Waffle Flower swatch stamps and dies. I see these are available for pre-order, when will they ship?
Well they put a water brush cause ya know the point of these are supposed to be like on the go type but I do agree with the size with u

They have a set of 48 half pans and tins for $25-30, so that could be an option, as well.Great review!
What brush were you using?
are they chalky ?
A pro artist using the system of RBY..
For anyone who might care, switch your mixing to magenta, cyan and yellow and you'll have beautiful vibrant colors. Red and blue are not primary pigment colors.
Got this same pallet at a local craft store on sale for $15 normally $20... sticker label says “spc watercolors “
i got the same but with a watercolor sketchbook, a highlighter, 2 brushes, a sketch pen at 15dollars
Great video!!!!!
This must be a new style. Mine didn’t come with the palette or sponge.
Thanks for this review! I had seen these and I was curious about them. It’s crazy that they wouldn’t protect the labels somehow. I mean... water, duh! 😂
Hola que preciosidad sabes en España como se llaman estas acuarelas? Me encantan besito
Hola Sonia...se llama "Misulove" watercolor paint set en Amazon. 😊
I heard you choking on the word "perfectly"...I'm sorry that you got such a hard time over that. I always appreciate your videos, and have learned so much from them. Thanks as always.
Great review of the stamps and paints, but be carefull, some of the shops that sell this paint set used other TH-camrs (Eve Bolt - Bolts Vault and Malamik Art) videos and paintings without permission. Hope that doesn't happen to you, the florals are really beautiful. Did you use them for a card? What do you do wit these test paintings?
Have a great day!
Thanks for your tutorial. I really like your rose painting. Jeaanine
Hi, I would be reviewing a similar product but goes by the name of Brustro Watercolor Pocket set. I would really like my viewers to know that the same set is being retailed under different names. I wanted to check if you may permit me to link this video to the video on my channel so my viewers may cross-verify. This will be mutually beneficial. Do let me know. Thanks
Tfs💖
With Amazon prime you can get that for $12
Go on create and craft and get the eureka so much better for stamping AND watercolour also a new company starting up thirsty brush co is all about watercolour and is booked by create and craft they just released their own pallete of the one your using
They're cheap because they are counterfeits from China. I forget the name of the genuine company because it was some time ago I saw and bought these from Wish😔 While they are not terrible I'm annoyed at myself for buying them because I'd never buy a cheap copy of someones art or products knowingly. Already got stung buying Pigma Microns on EBay that were fake and NOT waterproof 😕
