Thank u so much, u amazing person tyy
Here in New Zealand, i think the cheapest Winsor and Newton watercolour palette I’ve seen is 150 dollars 😑
same here in Australia...the shipping kills
I live in india, i have the same problem.
Shop online at Jackson’s Art Supplies! The Winsor and Newton Cotman 24 set is around $50 aud, and the shipping is also very cheap (like $5-$7). Hope this helps
Here in Colombia I bought the 14 set for about 50 dollars :(
Here in washington it's 15
My watercolor paper is from 20 years ago when my dad liked doing art but quit after 3 seconds.
Same here but with oil paints
Lmao this comment is gold XD
This will be me when I have kids
relatable 🤣
And how much was the paper 😭
Winsor and Newton has always been a favorite of mine and I have many paints from them. They are perfect for beginner to moderate painters (just like myself). I buy them mainly because they are abundant in my store and I get discounts as an associate! Lol 😄😅 love these tests mako thanks much.
winsor and newton professional water colours are incredible great too
Just to share a little secret; from the winsor newton pro colours, get the tube rose madder hue. The paint literally smells like the flower used in the pigment! (Roses)
I'm not planning to buy new watercolors but damn this video is so compiling
Me, always.
Ikr videos like these are slowly turning me into a collector ✨🙃✨
After watching this video, I'm having second thoughts about Sakura koi. I really like blending colors on paper.
Lol in Australia that winsor and Newton set in stores are like $70aud. So much cheaper buying it online somewhere. 😂
Awww
Oof in Adelaide they are $110aud and 20% off
Here in indonesia its sooo expensive it cost 500.000 rupiah soo expensive
@@diamondcreepender2500 thats 500000Rup is equivalent to $52 aud. You got it so much cheaper.
@@diamondcreepender2500 hahha kan beda kalau di convert :v if in rupiah, expensive. Kalau convert to other, cheaper
You should test the mozart watercolor the price is $27 but it has 40 colors
Callie Zoe It’s an amazing set! I own it & I love it. Totally worth being reviewed.
but the question is: is it chalky?
Same question! :)
angel _ isbored im my cousin order them and she said they aren’t chalky... and that the colors are very lovely and bright
my cousin order them and she said they aren’t chalky... and that the colors are very lovely and bright
im planning to buy a winsor&newton watercolor set.
great review mako💙
#makoficationsquad
I aso bought it they are very good
Chetana Mahajan do they come with a paint brush?
Yes there my personal favorite. But there NOT cheap.
Hey... i am using Sonnet and the colors blend very well... I don’t know, In my sketchbook, they blend very well.
#makoficationsquad
Can u make a video on how to identify the equality of Brushes. Like the bridle hair pulling test and how they lay water and colour, evenly or all at a time. Plz.. do Mako
Very Helpful and Informative. Thanks Mako , Love You ❤️❤️❤️
From. Shrija
OMG it was about time you reviewed sakura koi. It's my main paint set, and i wanted to know what other artist think about it as well.
I use it as well
I am thinking of buying those. Do you recommend?
It's great for a beginner, it's cheap, has multiple colors, and has some transparency. My only gripe is that it's slightly chalky, and most colors are more opaque than transparent. I've moved on to using professional grade stuff like dan smith, mijello, and sennelier, but i still would highly recommend sakura koi.
@@reeseg1788 the sakura koi set looks like there's less paint in the set than others or is it just me??
@@ruwaidashaik4782 the pans for koi is pretty deep, it'll last you for years. you get more value than what you pay for, it's totally worth it.
I loved Sakura Koi when I was starting out. It was my first experience with vibrant, punchy color payoff without having to work super hard. I think I'd still doodle with them now.
Talens Van Gogh aquarelle paints recently got an upgrade. Some of the colors have had a revamp. Dont know but maybe the formula of the paint changed and they are more transparent now.
I have the Van Gogh set and I really love it. I bought the set when I started with watercolors (half year ago) and I have no problems :) Now I decided to try another brand, but I would still love the watercolors :)
I used the paint I got from Marshal for 15$ for 2 years. I used it for so many painting and didn’t know the difference from artist paint. To be honest, watercolor paper is the most important thing that you need to invest. Don’t let the cost of paint intimidate you, start with the cheap paint first and slowly upgrade if you feel you need to
Yep! Watercolor paper is SO important!
Definitely. You can make good works with good paper but bad paint but it's almost impossible to do so with bad paper but good paint.
#makoficationsquad hi mako can pleeeeeeeeze make a video on how to colour faces using watercolour? Please I’m struggling and I need you
One day I will do it for sure!
Thank you soo much. Ur such a sweetheart!
Shadow colours for flesh tones use a dioxanine purple or a permanent mauve colour for the flesh use a yellow green(a spring leaf tone) and an alizarin crimson use water to thin the mix 2nd mix use alizarin crimson or Quinacridone Red raw sienna and chromium oxide green
Nadine Sawtell thanks
Actually in Van Gogh set there is no black. That color is Panye's Grey :) So, I think, it is good for a grey.
WHAT. WHERE IM FROM IN CANADA, STARTING FROM COTMAN, THAT EASILY COSTS 25$ SO EVERYTHING THERE MIGHT BE AROUND 30$ FOR ME
Oh no T_T
makoccino ;-;
Well, you're still in luck because if you were in the Philippines... everything costs 3 digits
Kaycee San Juan ayeee a fellow Pinoy!
What brands do you use?
this is so helpful cuz i was having a hard time deciding which set to buy between W&N and Koi ..I am going for the W&N
#makoficationsquad
Scarlet Black same I’ve always wanted koi, but realize I haven’t really considered other options and upon doing research I was stumped between koi and w&n since koi was cheaper for more but w&n seemed like a set for beginners and when I (hopefully) get better
That cottman blue-green teal color is amazing. I would buy the set just for that.
I have Sakura and also I'm always curious about Amazon art supplies, so this was interesting and now I can see why it's likely harder for me to do wet on wet techniques. Thanks as always!
uh for the w&n watercolors, you can put a drop of water under the little piece(?) let it dry and it'll stick, for the pan itself, some putty or double sided tape should keep them in place
I actually bought myself a winsor and newton cotman set last tuesday. I absolutely love it so far😊
Can u try out the Faber Castell watercolour pallette? I recently got it as a present and tried it today and find the colours to be really vibrant! I'm not sure if it's cause I used cold press paper, but the colours didn't seem to blend well after it dries. It just sticks on the paper lol. Would love to see ur take on it pls!
Hi mako your videos are just sooooo great .can you tell me how can i grow my art channel more efficiently and fastly.just following you ,thanks to help me 😁😁😁love from india.
Im planning to do a video about that this year :)
@@Makoccino thanks
Great video!! It was surprising to me hearing that Van Gogh looked more chalky in comparison to Koi, my understanding of chalkiness is that it is more like a "feel" or a texture once the paint is dry. For instance, Koi watercolors when more concentrated but still rather thinly it can develop a chalky feel to it. I think I have tried Van Gogh like maybe just once in my life but I remember they felt almost like an artist grade watercolor, yes they are not as transparent but they don't feel or look chalky whatsoever! That's my understanding:) maybe i'm totally wrong since English isn't my first language either but let me know if I'm mistaken! Keep it up with the great content🤩
I think I'm just going with the sakura watercolors cause it's alot more available in my country. But this is such a great video💕💖
I have the 24 Sakura Koi watercolour set and I’ve used them for about a year. They were way too expensive ($50 Canadian) but I got a great coupon for the store. I really love them, the colours are so saturated! They were my first watercolours that are not from the dollar store 😂
I'm glad you like them!
I have the same set, that I got for $30 American. I lost them (I have a young sister who steals everything) for a few months. Compared to the crappier ones I had to use (the tubes from Walmart) they are soooo smooth and vibrant, and they work well with my flatter style. I would seriously recommend them.
Hi Mako! Have ever heard or try the Paul rubens brand? What do you think please? Hesitate between this brand and the winsor newton ☺ thanks for precious advice
#makoficationsquad lovely video, Mako! Oh and the Sakura Koi paints look so good..
pretty sure the van gogh set doesn't come with a black, that may be the paynes grey? i see the confusion though! love the comparison videos ^^
Daler-Rowney makes a set similar to the Windsor-Newton one. I was very pleased with the results. Lost mine but found another at Walmart for around $12.
Yes, it’s called Aquafine and I love it!
Might be a good idea to buy one of the Sakura Koi sets and then repurpose it with half or even full pans later on...
Which indian product do u prefer?
I live in india and none of these are available here.
You must be able to get it through Amazon!
@@Makoccino , with shipping fees and import taxes, Amazon is way beyond reach for the ones that don't live in the US (or another country that has its own Amazon)
The "black" in the Van Gogh set is actually Payne's Grey Pbk6 + PV19
amazing! I use a Conem Sonnet set, and I really did have a hard time to blend colors, but I managed to blend them when I used less color and went from lighter to darker. Other than that, thank you for trying these out, these water colors are really expensive in Romania, we don't use Euros, we use our own currency, Lei, and 1 Leu is 4,5 euros, so yeah, it's expensive compared to the salaries.
MistyQueHarper hey I’m Romanian too! Not born there but my parents are.
thank you so much for reviewing the sakura koi!!!
I've been looking for it for a long time
#makoficationsquad
There is a brand that I never saw reviews on: The Mungyo professional watercolors, and the price is 25$ CAD for 12 colors
Sakura *Kai* , true Japanese ! 🤣😂🤣😂
Imagine getting a heart from mako......btw love u mako 🥰🥰🥰
I like your all videos it is very very nice
I really like the Van Gogh set. Those colors are so saturated, it almost feels like gouache.
Hi I have heard that you reply to comments but you don't have to do it ;), I am having an art block these days any advice on that because I am pretty much kind of new as I discovered the amazingness of watercolours just this year but I know about them as my father is a professional (by an official degrees) an painter he also has taken classes of sketching but it makes me sad he do anything with it as he is always busy so my mum says being an artist is useless and it will bring me nothing in the real world .p's. I'm 13
If you think about it, everything you see in the world started with an idea and a sketch! People design products, houses, posters, furniture, other beautiful things that you use daily! It's easy to say that an art degree is useless, because people usually don't realize how much is possible with that! Depending on which direction you choose, you can always do something art related! If someone thinks something is not possible, it's only a reflection of their limitations, not yours!
@@Makoccino thanks for replying , OMG I DID EXPECT IT THANK YOU , I am thinking of phycology as my teacher says that I have creativity and talent but Idk yet , love you
This was really helpful... thanks so much. Had my eye on Sakura for a long time without buying, but seeing the other brands & hues + the blendability, I'm now leaning more towards the Van Gogh, W&N, or "Unknown" brands.
Winsor Newton cotm- *falls*
I'm planning to get the Sakura koi and the van Gogh thank you for this
$25 costs like 2000 Indian Money.... 1$ being equal to more than 75 bucks here plus shipping. Help Mako😭

Amazing sets, wish I had those too . 😆
I always get confused in water colors! It really helped me. Thank you very much!! 😊 .Can. u a doodling video plzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. Love u makoccino.
#makoficationsquad
I really like your videos, but I am a bit disappointed here. You seem to be biased towards WN. I know it's easiest to find in the US and probably the cheapest, but it is clearly way less vibrant and it is the hardest to rewet than the other ones and the Van Gogh is not as opaque as you made it sound. I don't know if you had a bad batch or if they changed the composition, but my set is defiantly more transparent than that apart from a light blue that is not present in your set (and that had white mixed in).
What of these do you suggest? I am trying to find some but have never used real ones before
Mako you chose really interesting and relevant brand palettes to compare. I enjoyed your vid and think that one will always have a ‘soft spot’ for the brand or palette one starts with. It was good , and right , that you disclosed which one you used at the start. I started with Van Gogh and still love them and find myself picking up these paints when I see them for a good price (as in practice they are very high quality ) even though I use Windsor and Newton professional which are extremely pigmented and transparent.
That's exactly what I have just Witten. It is quite evident her preferente for W & N . For me it is an overated brand Good qualiry but high price.
Thank you thank you thank you so much mako. Thank you for including
VAN GOGH , as I have ordered it from Amazon after seeing lot of reviews on it but your vid made me satisfied and confident about my choice 😊😊😊😊☺☺☺☺🙋🙋🙋🙌🙌🙌🙌
Yayy! It's a great set!
Recently I got a Sakura Koi set, and It's WONDERFUL the colors are super pigmented and doesn't look anything like the pink-ish red in this video. I saw another videos from other artsy channels and always when they complain about a sakura koi set the label and packaging looks a tiny bit different that my own set. I got the feeling they got a dupe or a fake one...
To solve the black line problem, you can simply outline at the end
Mako it's not called superior it's called brusto
that superior watercolor is 42 color and i think its super cheap for $16 watercolor in my place.
Please test out the kuretake gansai tambi watercolors.
In my country 25 dollars is like 250+ dollars
Love you soooo much 😍❤. You are such an inspiration. Please do more of diy videos☺. 😘 #makoficationsquad 😘
sakura, winsor and van gogh. yes. I always confused wich one to choose, but now I already make my mind😄
My classmates had that Foldable watercolor amd its so pigmemted I highly recommended it for beginners. In the philippines it cost like 700+
JaJa Fernandez Yes! I was a little skeptical about it but I LOVE it! For me, it bloomed really well in water and was incredibly pigmented! I find that its better than winsor and newton cotman tbh
Can you please try giogrione watercolors?
Very helpful. Thanks. U are the best!
Its snowing here in kashmir😉whats the climate there mako?😉#makoficationsquad
#makoficationsquad
Thanks mako, I was planning to get watercolors. 😍😍😍😍 Your voice is sweetrr than 😀🎂🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰🍫🍫🍫 so overall winsor and Newton won. 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Just the video I needed right now when shopping for new watercolours thank you! :) il be getting the Windsor and newton ones :)
I love creating new things because you are the best ! 😘😘😄😄
Another awesome video 😍😍😍 wish i could afford to buy those sets, 😂😊 thanks Miss Mako
#makoficationsquad
Hey! Have you ever tried Arteza watercolors?
I am an Indian. In India $20 = 1400 rupees. We can't afford so much money for watercolors. So please prefer some low cost watercolors
Try comparing different acrylic paint brands!
I absolutely loved your rating at the end! I love and trust your opinion and am so excited to try the Winsor & Newton set 😍😃 #makoficationsquad 💕
Yayy I'm glad I could help!
Thanks mako for doing this test！I love review videos😍
I don't know why your watercolor videos satisfy me so much. #makoficationsquad
Awww ❤
Ur always awesome. And one of my favorite you tuber 💖
Yay,
I can find really good watercolor brands for under $25!!!!
~This video is entertaining and useful at the same time~
Yayy thank you!
I used a 12 euros van gogh set because i was really cheap and didnt know if i really wanter to persue watercolor... it was the perfect beginners set for me because it has a student level quality, but it is not super expensive! totally reocmmended, even if i am now going to make my own watercolors, with my own pigments and everything.
Love every video you make :D
I wish I had seen this before purchasing my Cotman set. I really hate the pigmentation (there’s none!!). However I purchased the brush pen set, so there were unnecessary colours added to the set. Thanks for the video mako! #makoficationsquad 😚❤️
That's right, I also bought a set a few years ago to use it as a travelset, but the pigmentation is very weak.
that's why my set went empty very quickly. Then I got one from van Gogh and the pigmentation was so much better.
Yeah, the cotman set is great for beginners, but if you want something more vibrant, the other sets are a lot better!
Thanks as always mako😘😘 this video was needed as I am always confused to buy paints 😉😉😉😉 as said my inspiration 😘😘😘😘😙😙😚
#makoficationsquad
Thanks....now I know what types of brand is worth the money...even though I did not expect it to be below 25...😂 I thought it would be like expensive...
First view but I had to do sth else first...
Hi, Mako. Its seem in EU and USA brand of LYRA Giotto not really popular as in germany, russia, and Indonesia. Can you test how they water color palette works? they're come with very cheap price.
+hi, from Indonesia+ btw, your video far more educational than my art teacher. 😆
#macoficationsquad
I have the van gogh watercolor set but I havent used it much. Glad to see what you reviewed, I was curious about the Windsor Newton.
Literally I'm is the most of low-budgent students and i was confuse to pick what a good watercolour for beginner like me. And on this video I'm so reaaly helped because yaa I can learn and see what the different of many watercolour. It is reference me to buy the good watercolour. Yash thanks mako!🖤
Oh thats the comparative I needed! I'm starting now but I wanted something a little bit better than ko i noor and I was thinking about Cotman, koi or Van Gogh. Unfortunately they are already expensive for me, since they are imported, hope they are good enough, let's see!
It is very nice to compare and very easy to buy what I need thanks makoccino 👌
oh noooo!! i’m a little late agaaiiiin :--( but, his is so helpful for me. The sakura koi watercolor is so famous here in our contry. Thankyou for this mako!! i love u😊💖 #makoficationsquad
Hello Mako, I loved the video! Have you ever tried Sennelier watercolors? I would love a comparison with other brands, they have student and professional grade! I really enjoyed the video, thank you!
#makoficationsquad the beginning when the colours fell out :']
Edit:Thank you mako:)
I adooore your 🌟Let's test art supplies🌟videos 😍😂✌ it's so relaxing to watch and I always think "now let's see what are these supplies capable of". It's like a mini show 😂
Hello Makoccino, I would be very interested in seeing you test out some high end watercolors. Daniel Smith makes very high end watercolors, they are all generally single pigment, and they even use crushed gemstones as pigment sources.
They have a 238 dot color chart for sampling that's only $22.59 here on Amazon in the US (I don't know where you are.) I would post a link but I wouldn't want my post to be marked as spam and for you not to see it.
Anyways, love your test videos!
aight, winsor and newton will be. it's expensive as hell where i live so i really hope it won't be shit 🫡
I have experience with Daley Downey watercolor tubes, though sometimes they can be really chalky, they are actually my go-to brand to get cheap art supplies
My all time favorite are the koi watercolor, they are so blendable and workable. Such a nice video, thanks 💕
I personally own the Winsor&Newton one. My mom has it too and she uses it for a long time already and it never changed! It is a very good beginner set and its still a very good brand and not too expensive. I am very happy with it and I learn allot of new things from your videos! Thank you Mako!! much love from holland😊
I really wish winsor & newton (and a bunch of other brands) weren't so expensive here in the Philippines :'))
They seem very nice and high quality but I'm fine with my Sakura Koi 30 set and my Faber Castell pencils.
Maybe I can try them someday if I save up.
ho ney they’re super expensive in brazil too 😔
Too bad you dind review the 24 watercolour tubes of Pebeo. I love you,re watercolour review Makoccino 😊👍🏾👋🏾 youmre my favoriete watercolour artist. I hope you,re doing well
