Daler Rowney is a very old English brand dating back to about 1780s. It started off as Daler, then 1983 purchased George Rowney company to become Daler Rowney. Their artist range is much smaller than other companies but very good and it’s surprising how much it’s overlooked.
That's interesting! I should probably try one of their artist range ones then.
@@helencryeri hope you do i’m so curious to hear an artist review on these artist quality daler rowney colours!
Assembling palettes and selecting colours is SO much fun! There’s so much anticipation about how you might use the palette and what you’ll create with each one and even thinking of where you’ll use it. It’s like this little pocket of “hope and dreams” in paint form 😍. Lovely colour selections, I like how each of your palettes has a really different feel or vibe.
I bought WAY too many travel palettes last year, I was worried about the loss of revenue all of these businesses must be facing with my “low buy”, but I have no worries, you’ve taken over for me… I’m reassured that all of the businesses will still be around when I’m ready to buy again 😂.
You are way ahead of me! I like just putting colours together that I feel 'fit right' - not really thought much about using them yet!
This cracked me up!! Loss of revenue 🤣
I've currently got my eye on a new full sized palette to be fair...
i am fascinated by the design of the winsor and newton travel palette! so much thought was put into it. exploring new palettes is my favorite thing, thank you for sharing!
It's not bad is it?! Apparently it's my new favourite thing too! 😁
I’m impressed with that palette too! And I don’t dislike Cotman either. But that palette expands into an almost studio size. Very clever.
The W&N set was so compact and clever I had to order one. I think I'll fill it with an early Spring palette..Davy's grey and copper blue for sky, some holbein pastels, chartreusey green, transp. orange, some bright, clear red, and maybe a rich perylene violet. I sometimes cut colored pencils in half and carry a few greens in one of the small leather travel brush pouches. Happy painting!
Haha! Sorry for the temptation! Your palette sounds totally gorgeous though!
That's funny - I've just been wondering if I should chop some pencils up to take smaller ones on my trip - I might just do a couple of Prismacolor greens.
@@helencryer
Be extra careful with the prismas, the core will shatter all the way down if stressed or crushed. I use a little, fine hacksaw and work my way around them, and dip the butt end in thick nail polish to seal. Learned this by murdering several prisma victims.
Thank you for the advice!!
I’m loving that Winsor and newton set. Never seen that one before, lovely!
It was a new one to me too, and I liked the design!
Wow that’s a wonderful fun gift for her! I really love the 12 colors you’ve chosen too. I definitely love the one solid piece of the mini palette 🎨! Thanks for sharing this.
It's a very small palette, but that insert is great! Thanks!
Such great little palettes! I like how you sorted out your colors. Beautiful bird painting! 🌸
Thank you!!
Little palettes are such fun! Thank you for sharing your collection. One of my favorite (tiny!) travel palettes is the artist grade Daler Rowney 18 quarter pan set.
I haven't seen that one! Need to go look it up!
Aah that was such a fun journey to put your palettes together, I must say the most fun was the last palette even though they are just leftovers 😅
I know! I was so happily surprised about that!!
Cutting swatches to make a colour chart is another brilliant idea of yours, love how it looks! You’re inspiring me to try and make a video on my palettes maybe. I’m afraid that it’s too time consuming to figure it all out
Haha, thanks!
Yes, go for it! I had Covid over the new year and spent some of the time stuck in learning to edit videos, and it was all actually a bit easier than I thought.
@@helencryer thank you for encouragement!
Love to see all these little palettes. It's fantastic the way they all have their own characteristic feel.
I have bought various random tins to keep my pans in and will use one to make up a travel palette, as well as the Artistic Nomad one. I'm afraid I'm more of a ditherer, so it will take a while - on the other hand that's half the fun, isn't it?
Well I took long enough over my first travel palette in comparison! I think that thinking about colours is a delightful thing in itself, when the mood takes you!
Hi, I think the sizing in your Moleskine paper has gone bad. The sizing usually keeps water from soaking right into the paper, allowing the pigment and water to move on top of the paper. I’ve had the exact same problem with different papers from different companies. My Canson Moulin du Roy and Saunders Waterford are the most frequent offender in my case. It usually happens when I leave my papers in an airy space for a long time. These days I put my papers in a ziplock to keep them from the humidity. When I put my papers in an airtight space, the sizing doesn’t behave as much anymore. Lots of my papers had gone bad and looked exactly like your Moleskine. I heard applying watercolor ground or Holbein multisizing might help, but I haven’t tried it either.
Winsor and Newton’s palettes are so cute, they always tempted me to buy another palette that I don’t need :’). Thanks for sharing!
Ah, that's very interesting, thank you! The Moleskine did seem especially bad this last time I used it. Mind you, I didn't like it when it was brand new either. Maybe I ought to buy a new one of the smallest size I can, just to give it one more go. Thanks so much for commenting!
Very cool. I've been on a travel palette kick too! I have an Aquafine tin in the shape of a CD (round) that's pretty cool, but the paints are so so. Nice tin though. I picked up the W&N blue field box Cotman set cheap on Amazon and put in 14 pans (from tubes) from their professional line. Although, for sketch work, the Cotmans would be fine. I like converting dollar store eyeshadow palettes too for a minimalist set. Love your sets and your channel. 🎨💗
I saw that round one too - it looks cool! And the blue field box is tempting - it looks lovely, but I should probably resist!
Thanks ever so much!
Very beautiful Paintintg 😍😍
Thanks!!
I’ve never seen a travel palette like that before from Windsor & Newton. I think it’s brilliant. Wish it had been around when I bought my first travel palette.
Yes, I can't believe I hadn't come across it before now. Maybe you need a back up one 😁
Very tempting
😊
Aquafine is Daler Rowney middle range, and really nice paint. Not the quality of their Artist range but above the quality of their Simply range. Their Artist range is lovely deeply pigmented paints.
Thank you for the info!
Great selection of colours!
Do you have T. white in your pallette or do you take a tube? Do you even need it when you're travelling or plein airing?
Hiya! I just have it in my black palette of 20 pans, actually in a pan - just an 'in case I feel like painting in pastel'.
Regarding the Cotman set, I believe that you can also pull out the top mixing panel and afix it on the bottom side of the pallet.
I have another different Cotman set and it has a detachable panel that you afix on its opposite side of the pallet.
Oh, interesting! Thanks! I will have a play with it when I get back from travelling.
I really enjoy watching your videos. However, for most travel I find it easy to take my Winsor/Newton 24 tin -its not that big and I've never found it hard to find water separately. I actually prefer this for most situations because then I have the paints I use everyday.
I can definitely see the sense in taking your everyday tin! I just like collecting art materials though, and this was fun! I don't actually have one every day palette though, so I can imagine my black 20 half pan tin becoming that.
@@helencryer Hi Helen, to clarify I do have multiple palettes by various brands, and like everyone I enjoy creating smaller specialty versions . But my W/N tin 24 is most used and my point really was just that it isn’t much bigger or heavier than many portable models so it’s just as easy to transport! Safe and inspiring travels to you!
Yep, makes sense!
Thanks so much!
I haven’t seen that Windsor & Newton palette before.
I just spotted it last week too.
My problem is that I like all the travel palettes!
I admit no responsibility for you purchasing the daler-rowney palette tin 😁 I do take brushes separately (I have a set of kuretake zig water brushes and then a retractable prolene plus set) so that plus water means it's not the best all in one but as you've seen, in terms of slim design and capacity it's difficult to beat. The WN field kit looks brilliant for an all in one set and probably (for us in the UK at least) more accessible than the portable painter sets.
I did realise I have access to community posts here on YT now, so I've tossed up a post with a photo of my own DR tin to show how I arranged it ❤
Ahaha!! Totally your fault!! It's brill isn't it - thanks so much! It's just nice to have different palette options.
I think the portable painter is pretty widely available, though you still need water with it.
I've not heard of community posts before - how does that work? Where can I go to see your photo?
🥱 good morning 👋🏼. Your Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet looks very red, are you sure you have the right paint? Also, your Burnt Umber looks too orange for an umber.
Hiya, I just got in, and got both tubes out - the swatches I did on the video are the same as what is coming out of the (correct) tubes, so I'm as sure as I can be. The Quin Burnt Scarlet is new this year, though the Burnt Umber is older, if that makes any difference. Only other thing I can think of is that fact it's videoed, and monitor settings etc?
@@helencryer Yeah, I agree with you on the video and monitor settings.
And what time do you call that, getting up at?!
@@helencryer The getting up time 😂
Some of us were already at work...
You have to get moleskine WATERCOLOR paper. There ART paper will also work with watercoloe
The Moleskine paper I used in this video was from a Watercolour sketchbook, though I think possibly the sizing had gone off.
Why do you say that the A Gallo paints are bad mixers? Maybe you should do a video on that if only to see the mixes. You can then compare the paints that mix badly with equivalent paints from other brands to see how they compare.
My impression was that they seemed to make murkier mixes, possibly because so many of the ones I have are multiple pigments. (I have 26 or so from their full range). The individual colours are so unique and beautiful though - I didn't really buy them to mix, so I don't mind. Possibly I'll give that a go sometime, though I'm not sure how it'll translate in video.
@@helencryer Thanks! Take your time, no rush 🙂. Thanks again for sharing your honest opinion.
lol I'm a week late, like all the other comments, but thank you for this, my wallet doesn't say thank you, but I do :D
Sorry for my late reply 😁 It's terrible looking other people's art supplies - I want them all!!
This paper from moleskine looks like it was damaged. If it's not one page but more in the journal you the shop sould return you the money.
I've never experienced this in Moleskine journals but I think they are not fairly priced for the type of paper they include.
This page seemed slightly worse than the others - it's been out of the journal for the longest, and was the last page I had (I dismantled the journal). I'm just wondering if it's worth giving them another shot, in the hopes I just had a faulty one.
@@helencryer I've never experienced this in Moleskine watercolor journals but I had this problem in Millford paper. I have even beard from my friends it happend in Arches paper block. I think it's the sizing issue. I guess it may result from paper aging or storing but it shouldn't happen in freshly opened block, pad, sheet or journal.
I didn't like using the Moleskine from the very first when it was brand new, but I think that's personal preference then, but this last page was worse, so probably sizing as well. Thanks!
Oh no. 😂😂
🤣
