@@AllanJayQuesada I watch your old video about your review in superior watercolor and I'm satisfied and happy for your review and I have my superior watercolor today...thank you for the review and keep up
I am oddly obsessed with seeing unboxing and reviews of watetcolor sets...even though I have found my sweet spot with a white nights pallete, a camel artist watetcolor tube set and a custom palette consisting of Daniel Smith and QoR mainly...I still love to watch them... And you explain so awesome....
Oh, thank you. 🙏🎨 I think we are on the same boat when it comes to the love of watching of unboxing videos of new sets. This is the reason why I control my temptation on unboxing my materials. I need to wait for the recording day before i unbox, because i want to document it for my viewers who love unboxing videos. Hehehe. I love all the brands you mentioned.. and the Qor is the one bramd i have not reviewed yet. I have the 12 starter tubes and im excited. 🙏☺️
@@katelyntizon9895 hi. Yes it is available in Shopee. I believe there are some sets there. You may also wanna checkout my store in shopee. I have white nights tubes. ☺️shopee.ph/allanjayquesada?smtt=0.0.9
This is the first and only review I've seen of Seamiart watercolors that's in-depth, elaborating on its strengths and weaknesses, and being compared to an impressively wide variety of other watercolor sets, ranging from student grade to a professional grade set. I also like how I didn't even notice the video was 30 minutes long because of the way you talk, which is able to keep me entertained lol. I've been using Prang watercolors for 2 years now and I am very glad to have found this channel as I saw that your other videos are also very long and presumably similarly in-depth reviews of each product. I'm also very glad to see that I can actually compare watercolors that I've been eyeing for a long time to ones I've recently discovered. You've definitely earned yourself a new subscriber, lol. Great content, man. Keep it up. ✨💞
Ofcourse you can be better. We all have the chance to improve. I also had and still have some people to look up too and learn from and to be inspired by. :)
👋👋🥰🎨 For those who are new to my channel, i suggest you watch the entire (lengthy review) video, because the answers to your questions are most likely provided along the way, both visually and verbally. My reviews (esp. the newer ones) have this sequence of portions if you want to jump to a specific topic.: 0. Greetings👋 1. Product info: (price, seller, shipping time, unboxing, box and product description, etc.) 2. Swatching, (paper is always arches 185 cold pressed cotton paper, brushes usually SBV flat and any travel brush) 3. Sample painting process, (landscape samples, peeling of tape, closer look) 4. Comments about the paints (color selection, is it opaque/chalky/muddy/vibrant/transparent/flowy/heavy etc. 5. Side by side COMPARISON with other brands (available to reviews starting starting June 2019).) 6. Do i recommend the brand/set? (Is this set for you? Strengths and weaknesses? Suggestions) 7. Farewell and gratitude. 🙏🎨☺️
Hi Allan. Could you please do a tutorial on the beautiful Phillipines Eagle that you have up the top there? I've done one in pastels, but I'd love to see a tutorial by you of one. Thanks for this channel, I've found it very helpful.
I actually was going to order one, i love vibrant colors and I'm a beginner as well. I'm new to your channel this is my first vid. I'll check out the rest but looking forward to the complete end of the vid. I'm roughly half way now.
I found it very helpful that your swatch pages all have the same or very similar format with a sample painting in the same size. Thank you for taking the time and being so precise!
How come your channel is so underrated? Like you talk so professional in your every vid. better than a lot of youtubers out there and your artworks are so lit. People should see this! Keep it up kuya❤️
Yeah I agree . He took so much scrupulous attention to every detail..Thank you for this wonderful video Sir Allan😊 ( btw I'll go for superior as it don't have too much set of colors that might be overwhelming for a beginner like me : )
Thank you, Shan for the support and appreciation. I believe, more viewers prefer shorter videos because they get bored.. But, I need longer time for all the details I'm explaining. I'm just making the videos for those who'd be able to take it. I believe the learning process on anything needs time and patience, soo.. here's my approach. Yes, Ill keep on doing this for as long as I have co-artists watching. :)
the sound of the backroung birdies is so cute and calming plus the rain and the colors... that's a really nice life to live, keep going you're great 🤗🥰
Thank you Alexandra for appreciating my environment and everything. We should just enjoy life no matter how challenging it becomes.. :) Stay safe and have an artful week.
For those who are buying this set, pls follow the swatch sheet they provide at Shopee. Not the swatch card at the product. The swatch at shopee shows the right sequence and solves the issue on "permanent yellow" thing. 😂 Here's the link, 2nd product image: shopee.ph/product/264173554/4834812464?smtt=0.0.9
I'm just starting to use watercolors so I didn't want to buy something too pro or expensive, you know. I think this set is perfect. 👌 Thank you so much for taking your time for this. I wish all reviews would be like this! Also, your art is amazing and beautiful.💖
Thank you Neptune. I'm happy to be of help. We all have different targets in art and yes, and so as to art materials. What's important is we enjoy and learn from what we have. Keep safe! ☺️🎨🙏🏻
Wow! Recently bought Seamiart from a local supplier, tested it and delighted. Much better than what I've started with in my watercolor discovery. Thanks!
I am glad that there is a person reviewing this product in English because I cannot understand the others. But it's 22 dollars in Amazon what a big difference.
Received a set of this for Christmas and didn't think I'd see an in-depth review of it on TH-cam. Thank for for this! Agree, Van Gogh is also my favorite but nice to also have this for variety.
Thank you for the review Allan. 15:50, I agree with you, my skin colour also doesn't look like that paint. I visit your channel to see the paintings you create with all kinds of watercolour. You inspired me to make the most out of any watercolour I can purchase. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, for the price you paid these don't look too bad. Not the same as something of higher quality, of course, but definitely useable if your budget is very limited. I can buy this set from Wish, but including shipping it's around 35 USD! That's how much I paid for the folding Superior set too - I didn't know any better at the time. For context, I paid a little bit *less* for a very lightly used secondhand 12 tube set of Sennelier L'Aquarelle (including the tin, not including the brush, the tubes look practically full). I paid 25 USD for my Pretty Excellent paints on Amazon UK, and have seen them for as low as 18 USD.
Yes, this set isnt really too bad at all. but for a shipping fee of 35usd, no, dont push it, unless you got some other stuff that go with it. Oh, Sennelier by all means,, one of the best. :)
I think I might get this. I'm thinking of getting into watercolor, but I don't want to buy something super expensive and pro level just yet. At the same time, I don't want dollar tree crap. This looks like it might be good.
Yes this set js good for its price and would really serve as a fun craft set. You'll love this for sure. You can upgrade anytime, after trying this out. 😊🙏🎨
They're lovely colours, i think it's more an issue of light fastness with the cheaper brands. Your swatches looked nicer than the Faber Castell that you had done previously.
Yes, these are better than the Faber Castell. In cheap paints, it's really not expected to be lightfast. They're more for trial and errors, and fun use. 🙏🎨😉
Wow, very comprehensive review...these brands should sponsor you. This video is highly informative and jam-packed. This channel will be my new go-to...salamat sir!
i really wanted to buy this watercolor pallet pero nag dadalawang isip ako kase wala kong makitang magandang review then ikaw gumawa na. sure na ko na bibilin ko sya because of the help of your vid! thank you so much hopefully maka gawa ka den ng review dun sa seamiart sketchbook nila kuya❤️ NEW SUBSCRIBER❤️❤️
Hi Alexis. Buti naka habol ka sa pagbili. Sabi sakin ni seller, out of stock na raw and July 5 pa ang restock. anywy, thank you po! Will checkout ulit on their items once theyve restocked and will also get the watercolor paper. :)
grabe ang ganda ng review, nagsstart pa lang ako sa watercolor and i think ito na ang unang watercolor na pag iinvest'an ko (kasi nahingi ko lang yung currently naginagamit ko and wala pa siyang brand name, and also kapag nagkapera na). thank you po dito!
Hi! Beginner lang po ako sa water color painting and I'm planning to buy the superior set! I'm so happy na natagpuan ko po channel mo now sure na sure na kong bibilhin ko sya. And sobrang professional and detailed po ng review nyo grabe and nabasa ko din na halos lahat ng question sinasagot mo! More power to you po and your channel! Will definitely binge watch all your vids! 🙌✨
Hi Maja! nakakahiya naman, 3mos bago ako naka sagot. hehe. I try to respond to all, kaso habang tumatagal, dumadami na yung comments, na ooverlook ko na yung iba. anyways, welcome to my channel and thank yoy for the kind words. :) enjoy art po and see you around. tuluy tuloy lang po tayo sa pag gaw nga art. :)
I bought these paints for the palette. I was planning on just washing them out and putting in daniel Smith but i endedvup playing with them. It was fun to just play with them. I had to ignore paint names . So i ended up adding a Qor mixing medium and painting an tomato . It took more work and layers but i wasnt totally disappointed. I think i will continue to play with them.
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you. I was going through your videos and saw that you have no reviews of the Giotto and Primo watercolors. These are Italian brand watercolors and I started with those. All the best.
One of my 'go to' shop, I just bought metallic paints and practice paper from seamiart last week. Again, another good review and amazing sample painting whatever the brand is! At least beginners know what to get and what not to heheh. Thanks for sharing 😍
Hello Sir! I am new in your channel po and I am so thankful merong local artist na nagrereview ng products na available online. You definitely earned a subscriber. Hindi po sana ako ng contact details or socmed handles so I'd be able to ask you directly about art supplies and everything else about art as you seem to be the most humble and most approachable artist I've stumbled upon. Thank you po!
You too, keep safe. I'm planning to buy new water color set. My medium is acrylic but I wanted to try using water color 'coz I have no funds to buy more acrylics. What do you recommend Superior or Seamiart? Thank you! keep creating co-artist!
@@iaxxie713 thanks. Yeah, Watercolors are more economical and will last longer, that's why i always recommend buying the best that you can afford. Between Superior and Seamiart, I'd choose Superior. But if you can, please choose paints with pigment codes provided. Theyre more reliable when it comes to vibrancy and lightfatsness. One of the reliable but affordable paints that give the codes are the Sonnet Watercolors. For 745php, you have 16 full pans! It's twice the halfpans that superior and seamiart offer. So it's actually more practical. I have Sonnet and other choices in my shopee store. You may want to check it out. 😊 shopee.ph/product/41980518/7739276796?smtt=0.41981904-1619411026.9
Hello sir, thank you for making watercolor reviews. For people who has budget constraints but wanted to explore more on watercolor, your videos are pretty helpful. I am also happy audio has improved! I had difficulty with earlier videos due to the quality of the audio 😅 The videos are helpful and inspiring po 🙂👏.
Okay na okay po ito para sa akin na mag papractice palang mag water color art. Thankyou po sa very detailed review niyo. waiting napo ako sa order ko😁 New subscriber here ♥️
I'll definitely pick this up for fun no stress sketching. :) Also, I've been such a b---- lately and my mind is free of noise watching this. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for the review... I bought cheap one for personal Journaling... And since I'm not artistics nor great at painting.. Like I'm not even a begginer nor amateur.. I'm just like those copy cat painting doodle watercolour. So I think it's a good buy for people like me who aren't professional nor serious about painting.
Hello po, Ar. nice review po! Detailed ang bawat kulay para sa mga nagbabalak bumili gaya ko. Kakatuwa po na nalaman ko rin po na architect po kayo! Keep safe po. :)
That is very nice packaging for a budget paint set! I recently bought the 24 color sonnet set. In my neck of tne woods that is a relatively cheap option, if you don't want to spend the cash for artist grade quality. It just comes in a cardboard box, so I also bought a palette box.
Yeyy a review bout this set! Habang nanunuod sir natatawa ako dun sa frustration nyo dun sa pink lilac saka purple haha that made me say na "i wont get such huge set" haha some colors literally looked the same
Hahaha. Kaya nga nasabi ko nalang din after, sana they have a smaller set kasi very few people need that too many colors, lalo na kung magkakahawig masyado. Hehe
@@AllanJayQuesada may certain satisfaction po kasi yung ikaw mismo yung nag mix ng color according to your liking, di po gaya ng isang malaking set na nandoon na lahat colors.
With the color payoff and vibrancy of these paints, there's no doubt you'd be able to make great work using them. The only issue is the lightfastness, otherwise, it's great. So just protect your outputs, store them well and everything is fine. We have to maximize what we have arpund, so kudos to that. 🙏
@@AllanJayQuesada I received my Seamiart 50 color set with a set of brushes. I like the colors and I started to use the paints, they are highly pigmented and there are lots of choices of color in the 50 half pan set. I watched your O.Win review and purchased that one as well, waiting for it to arrive. The Seamiart is great for the price. Thank you Alan, I enjoy your reviews and channel
hello, i was contemplating if i will buy this watercolor in shopee so i searched and clicked the first video i saw but you review art materials so well! i think i am gonna watch your other reviews for other products since i really trust your judgement. :)
@@AllanJayQuesada yup....pretty excellent or superior...not sure pa. She used acrylic paint alot and most of our watercolor are chalky or not pigmented...
I bought a semiart palette...just for the plastic travel box, i was surprised . I expected to give them to my great grand daughter...i am keeping them for a while at least. They are unexpectedly good for crap paints. Better than most.
They're good for the price right? Oh but i forgot we're from different regions. May i know how much is it your country? But yes, it exceeded my expectations. I'm happy to be sharing this video and that many are happy about the product because it doesnt break the bank. Im happy you're happy with it too. 🎨
@AllanJayQuesada I found these on AMAZON for less than $ 20.00. . It has been a while now and after a break from painting ( major health problems) that I have started again and am still not disappointed...
Hello Allan, I love your reviews! I find them very useful and it's really fun to get your impressions. I had a question: what are the brushes you like best, and what are the brushes you use the most? I see you use a particular travel brush for painting out most of your review swatches and test paintings, but I've been going through your videos and I can't seem to find the information on what brush that is.
hi Francis. Thank you. I started telling the brushes i use only last week, at the Giorgione review. Hehe. In this seamiart review, i showed and mentioned it at 7:38 I only have few flat brushes. For the swatches, I only actually use my escoda optimo kolinsky 10 flat, or silver black velvet black velvet 1/4" flat or my royal aqualon 10 flat. For the sample painting, i use my SBV 4 travel brush alot. I think that's the youre curious about. , sometimes i use my escoda brushes, or isabey.. all travel brushes kasi maliliit ung sample paintings. my favorite brushes are the Kolinsky brushes.
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you very much for your answer! Yes, the brush you use most often for the sample paintings was the one I was most curious about, thanks for telling me about it. Have a great day and a great week!
I have their gift set and the pearlized galaxy set in my cart, as well as a couple of their watercolor papers hahah 😭😭😭 I am becoming a hoarder - andami kong gustong bilhin because of your and sir Earl’s reviews 😂😂
hahaha. sorry na! 🤣 ang mahalaga, may nakakain pa naman tayo at di natin ito ipinangungutang pa. 🤣 kidding aside, this may be 'extravagance' to others, but in my experience, this is a form investment, both material and immaterial. we learn and develop from different materials and in time, we can also share / sell some that didn't work for us. ika nga, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." so, walang sayang yan. hehe
Thank you for this. Kakaorder ko lang kasi ng ganito sa shopee and medj. Kinakabahan ako sa mga pigments ng colors pero so far maganda nmn kaya excited na ako ma- receive ung akin♥️♥️
I painted a tomato with this AND THEN TOMATOES WITH 3 other cheap paint AND 3 professional. Of the student/ inexpensive these did surprisingly well. It was actually rather difficult to tell which was which paint. The major difference was the time spent to do each one. All of the student grades took at least twice..,sometimes 5 times the layers. ( this was my last comparison with these paints(
Hey,, Allan, I'd love to see you do some reviews on some hand made watercolor sets from Etsy. Some metallics and just if any of those sets are worth while. I realize metalics may not be your thing but i'd still love to check em out
Yeaaahh. I was eying on one brand there with many natural colors. I emailed them but unfortunately, they cant ship yet to PH due to restrictions.. however, i have here my review of the Aloha Handmade Watercolors from Hawaii from Etsy too. And A.Gallo handmade paints from Italy. 😀🎨 th-cam.com/video/Y8QGlYR2uxQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/m_R5Gd1uyac/w-d-xo.html
Wooow dami binili! Huhuhu love the unboxing! I’m waiting for my superior 28 colors from the same shop! Waterbrush, spray water container, and forgot the others! Hahaha grabe sobrang mura nila! Thank you for this review!
I like your swatches oh man they look pretty cool. And, after seeing your swatches of Tropicals I decided to bough these watercolor set. Your swatches really inspire me😍 Keep up the good work❤
I think that you can use these watercolours for commissioned paintings too if you avoid to use of course the most bright of these colours, pinks and purples. These are the colours that are usually prone to fade. Pinks and purples some skin like colours and the fluorescent ones Earth and blue colours and most of the yellows are quite permanent even in they are not made with the original pigments.
Yes, you're right. The bright pinks, reds and violets are usually the colors that fade on light. But i might just donate this set as i have other better paints to use. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada How much better? These colours look decently pigmented, bright, with a decent amount of gum arabic into their mix ( so they stick to the paper) and have all the basic permanent colours that someone might need. (excluding the brilliant one that we've mentioned). They come into a very nice box, decent brushes... what else would you ask from a affordable sketching set? If you asked me to rate them I would definitely give them a very solid 9 out of 10 because it seems like a fantastic set for sketches and illustrations and that because the sketches don't fade into the sketchbooks and the illustrations are for reproduction either way. The illustrators don't bother with the permanency of their colours.
Interesting to see some cheap watercolors swatched - I've only been watching high -end swatch videos, so it's enlightening to see the differences. I think their ultramarine looks like Phthalo Blue Red Shade to me, but at least that's a pretty close hue match. I wonder if Yellow Gray was supposed to say Yellow Green - it looks like PY 150 to me. I love how your sample painting came out!
Oh wow, literally just saw this set at shopee not even an hour ago, then pag punta ko sa youtube may review video na po kayo about the same thing haha. Thanks for the great review again sir, and excited to see your review on the superior accordion set :D
Medyo uso po kasi itong Seamiart kaya n,nacurious ako and nireview ko po. Im excited too about the accordion set kahit na same lang sila ni superior. haha Thank you too! :)
Did you see the part where I compared this and Superior? Hehe. My vote, quality wise, still goes to Superior. Seamiart set is really for those who want a wide color selection at a very very low price. ☺️ Thank you. ☺️
Very very informative videos on watercolors! This is really helpful for people who are new to watercolor and are planning to buy their first set. Hope you can also review or recommend or make a comparison video on different watercolor papers available in the philippines :)
Gusto ko po sana bilhin to kasi yung mga watercolor material ko e naiwan sa dorm dahil po sa Pandemic. Kaso wala pong available shipping option kase ninjavan lang ang nakakaabot dito samin. Gustong gusto ko na po kasi talaga mag watercolor dahil yun po yung way kung pano ko nalalabanan yung depression. Salamat po sa revieww
both are good, put Superior is a bit better. more vibrant and transparent... But if you can stretch more, baka you can consider a more reliable set like Sonnet watercolors which come in full pans. :) Thank you and enjoy watercolors! :)
Sir try mo rin po i-review yung seamiart na watercolor na parang gansai tambi in future po. Also yung metallic set po na 24 colors if interested po kayo na i-review. Thanks po!! Inaabangan ko po talaga ang review nung foldable set ng superior
Ooh, I've got that folding Superior palette! I don't hate the paints, but I'd caution against getting them too wet - I accidentally got some of them quite wet (used a way too juicy brush), and when they dried they curled and cracked on me 🤦 I look forward to seeing your review of them! Have you seen this style from Superior? Like a Filofax with a built in palette and mini easel - I love the idea, but it's quite expensive, especially if I factor in 25% VAT for import to EU. It'll end up at something like 68 USD, which is a bit too much for me 😂 might try to DIY something similar one day, though.
Oh that sounds awful.. Maybe it has also something to do with the air? here, paints are often moist because it's humid. Hmm. I think, I havent seen that yet. can you send me the link? Thank you! :)
@@AllanJayQuesada re: the cracked paints: I think they would've been fine if they hadn't gotten too wet - the pans that were only exposed to normal amounts of water were fine. User error, really. They probably would've been fine if the pans were deeper too, but the actual cake of paint is so thin that it kind of makes sense that they can dry weird... Kind of like how a thin vs very thick piece of paper handles a lot of water - thin paper will end up much more buckled than thick, but dry paint isn't flexible the way dry paper is. Maybe. It makes sense in my head, at least 😅
actually mas una ko nkita ung set sa tokyo finds, ung 90 color set... balak ko bilhin nung una kaso 1800 kaya nagalangan ako.. buti nlng ksi sa semiart around 900 php lng, sobrang laki ng difference.. same na same lang na set... bait din ng seller, naginquire ako if pwede magrequest ng product to sell at tinanggap naman nila.. can't wait to see your review on the superior accordion style set, between that and the regular superior watercolor un ung pinili ko.. wanted to know your opinion about it
Hi sir! May bago pong watercolors yung Seamiart na store na 36 watercolor set dun na medyo kahawig po ng isa sa set ng Giorgione.. Hope ma review niyo po yun soon. Thank you po! And more subscribers to come po! 😊
Hi Sir Allan! You inspire me to learn more about watercolors. How about schmincke watercolor? I haven't seen you reviewing that. I would love to if you would. That's one of my favorite watercolor but i don't have enough money to buy that. But for sure i'll buy that one day. Thank you
Hello! Schmincke is one of the best. I have a 24 half pans set and also have tubes. Will review them very soon. :) and i might put into half pans my tubes. puwede tayo maghati. :)
salamat nasagot tanong ko kung opaque. di kasi kita sa review ni earl. although, may kutob na ako dahil madaming pastel colors. sulit pa din for P395. :)
I saw something similar at the art supply online-shop where I order all my watercolor tubes and sometimes full pans and paper. It's really inexpensive but I think it's a dye-based paint set. Sometimes there is a lot of fillers too. But I don't know about the cheap sets... It's like a waist of money for me, even if there's a turquoise included. I like turquoises actually.
it is really a waste of money if you are gonna buy an item, but not gonna be using them because it didnt please you. so its better to checkout reviews first. I think the sets that are cheap or even those which are dye based are intended not to mislead but more to cater to those who have less to spend but want to experience. Certainly, if paint is too cheap, it is low quality. However, it is useable and is able to show which color is which. This set is cheap but visually, i can achieve the same painting i made using the more expensive paints.. The question now is, "how long will the painting last?" So, for cheap paints, i do not recommend it for professional or commission works. :)
Hello Sir Allan, great video as always! I discovered a Tokyo Finds 90-color set just recently that looks very identical to this one. Hope you’d also be able to review that one, much love and stay safe always!
Im hearing alot of info about their likeness.. And i think it is true. This set and the glittery set have versions same with Tokyo Finds.. I think, if this is true, wag ko nalang ireview, kasi sayang naman kung parehas lang pala sila dba, iba nalang. hahaha. and besides, mas mahal yung tokyo finds, rebranded kasi. That is what they do to Mungyo, when it is rebranded by Prima Marketing.
This is one of the best watercolor reviews out there and I appreciate it! I also want to know if this is comparable to superior watercolor because I want to buy a set but I am stuck between these two... I wonder which is better considering the price and number of colors
Hi, thank you. Hmm. Please take a look at 29:05 again.. there in the comparison between Seamiart and Superior i chose the one which is more transparent.. not huge difference in quality but price difference is much felt. Still, both are affordable so id go with the one that's more transparent generally.
Thank you, Valerie. Yes, ive uploaded it last week. Pls dont forget to subscribe. 🙏🏻🎨☺️ Here's the link on the superior foldable: th-cam.com/video/xCN969d3nNA/w-d-xo.html
I think just like other cheap watercolors, less ang vibrancy at medyo may pagka-opaque talaga yan compare sa ibang student grade like prang lalo na sa mga artist grade talaga, pero ayos na yan lalo na sa mga nagsisimula pa lang
For me halos pantay lang ito sa performance ng Prang. But as for the total package, mas pipiliin ko parin tong Seamiart. 16 colors lang kasi ang prang plus magenta and hold na limited edition, kaya wala nang pastel mixes needed.. if you choose the best and transparent colors dito sa seamiart, meron din naman, and more than half of the 50 colors yun. Swerte ang Prang at maaga siyang nakapag establish ng name sa PH, earlier than this age na marami nang options. Kaya sa mga schools, ito ang alam ng older teachers at ito rin ang nirerecommend. When I was using Prang back in college, akala ko, Prang na yung pinakamaganda kasi naka eskaparate siya sa National Bookstore.🤣
Wow! talaga po, siguro kasi kilala na talaga ang prang but dahil sa sinabi niyo ma-afford ko na ata bumili ng wide set of watercolor at di na kailangan pang mag mix (i've been using 16 colors ng Prang at medyo paubos na ang mahal din kasi kaya natatakot ako bumili). I will try that SEAMIART Watercolor set😃👍
@@einho9078 na pressure naman ako. Haha. Joke. If youve seen my review nung 2 Prangs sets, makikita na bumaba narin kasi ung quality ng bagong Prang. Maganda parin but not like before. Ang edge ni prang over seamiart is semi moist siya kaya mas madaling irewet, and dahil pili lang ang colors, halos transparent lahat. Ang cons ng prang for me is ipisin siya, pati artwork ko iniipis pag napakapal ang application. Nag babago rin ung white paint in time. Nagingitim. Itong seamiart, will yet to prove kung magbabago pa siya.. but ss initial testing, its really good for the price.
Wow! Seamiart! 😍 I miss your vlogs, Kuya Allan! A huge selection of colors itong si Seamiart.. Ang damiii nila for an affordable price. I find your swatch card as more organized one. Aaah, the sample painting is so beautiful! Ang ganda! 🥰 Seamiart is really something!!! Now, I'm as curious to trying some of Seamiart like watercolor brushes or potentate watercolor paper/sketchbook.. P.S. Para na naman silang pastillas at start ng pag-unbox.haha. 😁
oh, ive seen one in a local store. i believe it was a Schmincke.. but, that flow medium of Schmincke is even more expensive than this SEAMIART set. hahaha
If you'd watched the comparison starting at 28:15 , you'd have idea that the Prang 16 is somewhat on same level as Seamiart.. i guess, against only 8 colors, id go for Seamiart. For me, the weakness of Prang is the very elementary (color wheel) selection of colors.. good for school use, but for beginners and enthusiasts outside school, a range of earth colors and CMYK colors included in a set is an advantage.
hi i know im very late to this video but i have a watercolor set and its like the paint tube kind and i ordered this one cause i see people say its very good and i was wondering how long it usually takes to run out of these? i will be so happy if you answer, thanks!
Hi kean. How long will this last will really depend on how you use it, how thick you apply paint, the coverage of your application, your style, size of work, etc.. In my estimate, you may be able to make a atleast a hundred 💯 A4 size paintings. Considering you consume each color evenly. I hope that helps.

Wow, thank you for doing this vamp.t 🙏☺️😯 i should be doing this to all my videos. I need to pin this. 😊
Goes to show you.. even crappy watercolors can turn into gorgeous art when used by a master.. this is just so lovely...
Thank you so much, J Marie. 😀 Keep safe.
@@AllanJayQuesada
I watch your old video about your review in superior watercolor and I'm satisfied and happy for your review and I have my superior watercolor today...thank you for the review and keep up
these arent crappy watercolors though
Yeh, I don't even have budget to have one, so I have way crappier ones😩
I am oddly obsessed with seeing unboxing and reviews of watetcolor sets...even though I have found my sweet spot with a white nights pallete, a camel artist watetcolor tube set and a custom palette consisting of Daniel Smith and QoR mainly...I still love to watch them...
And you explain so awesome....
Oh, thank you. 🙏🎨
I think we are on the same boat when it comes to the love of watching of unboxing videos of new sets. This is the reason why I control my temptation on unboxing my materials. I need to wait for the recording day before i unbox, because i want to document it for my viewers who love unboxing videos. Hehehe. I love all the brands you mentioned.. and the Qor is the one bramd i have not reviewed yet. I have the 12 starter tubes and im excited. 🙏☺️
Where do you buy the white nights palette? Is it available here in the ph;
@@katelyntizon9895 hi. Yes it is available in Shopee. I believe there are some sets there. You may also wanna checkout my store in shopee. I have white nights tubes. ☺️shopee.ph/allanjayquesada?smtt=0.0.9
@@AllanJayQuesada thank you so much for this
It is so nice to know that you use camel artist watercolour. I use it also. It works for the type of artwork I do.
This is the first and only review I've seen of Seamiart watercolors that's in-depth, elaborating on its strengths and weaknesses, and being compared to an impressively wide variety of other watercolor sets, ranging from student grade to a professional grade set. I also like how I didn't even notice the video was 30 minutes long because of the way you talk, which is able to keep me entertained lol. I've been using Prang watercolors for 2 years now and I am very glad to have found this channel as I saw that your other videos are also very long and presumably similarly in-depth reviews of each product. I'm also very glad to see that I can actually compare watercolors that I've been eyeing for a long time to ones I've recently discovered. You've definitely earned yourself a new subscriber, lol. Great content, man. Keep it up. ✨💞
Thank you for the appreciation po! it gives meaning to the effort i put here. Welcome to my channel. Keep safe and continue doing art. :)
I swear the sample paintings you do always inspire me to think I can be better than I am. You just make it look so easy!
Ofcourse you can be better. We all have the chance to improve. I also had and still have some people to look up too and learn from and to be inspired by. :)

For those who are new to my channel, i suggest you watch the entire (lengthy review) video, because the answers to your questions are most likely provided along the way, both visually and verbally. My reviews (esp. the newer ones) have this sequence of portions if you want to jump to a specific topic.:
0. Greetings👋
1. Product info: (price, seller, shipping time, unboxing, box and product description, etc.)
2. Swatching, (paper is always arches 185 cold pressed cotton paper, brushes usually SBV flat and any travel brush)
3. Sample painting process, (landscape samples, peeling of tape, closer look)
4. Comments about the paints (color selection, is it opaque/chalky/muddy/vibrant/transparent/flowy/heavy etc.
5. Side by side COMPARISON with other brands (available to reviews starting starting June 2019).)
6. Do i recommend the brand/set? (Is this set for you? Strengths and weaknesses? Suggestions)
7. Farewell and gratitude. 🙏🎨☺️

Hi Allan. Could you please do a tutorial on the beautiful Phillipines Eagle that you have up the top there? I've done one in pastels, but I'd love to see a tutorial by you of one.
Thanks for this channel, I've found it very helpful.
Hello po sir allan ,tanong lang po ano po yung ibigsabihin ng vadility na nakalagay sa box? ..
I actually was going to order one, i love vibrant colors and I'm a beginner as well. I'm new to your channel this is my first vid. I'll check out the rest but looking forward to the complete end of the vid. I'm roughly half way now.
I found it very helpful that your swatch pages all have the same or very similar format with a sample painting in the same size. Thank you for taking the time and being so precise!
Glad to see a review of locally available brands in the Philippines. I am amazed at how comprehensive this is! Great job and please keep it up!
thank you! yes, im definitely gonna keep this up for as long as there are artists like you who appreciate and value the effort i put here. :)
How come your channel is so underrated? Like you talk so professional in your every vid. better than a lot of youtubers out there and your artworks are so lit. People should see this! Keep it up kuya❤️
Yeah I agree . He took so much scrupulous attention to every detail..Thank you for this wonderful video Sir Allan😊 ( btw I'll go for superior as it don't have too much set of colors that might be overwhelming for a beginner like me : )
Thank you, Shan for the support and appreciation. I believe, more viewers prefer shorter videos because they get bored.. But, I need longer time for all the details I'm explaining. I'm just making the videos for those who'd be able to take it. I believe the learning process on anything needs time and patience, soo.. here's my approach. Yes, Ill keep on doing this for as long as I have co-artists watching. :)
No matter how bad some of the watercolors, his arts was still so good. How? 😭
I try to maximize the watercolor brand and i want to be fair too with these sets. Thank you for the praise, rica. ☺️🎨🙏🏻
thats is too true. he makes it effortless
the sound of the backroung birdies is so cute and calming plus the rain and the colors... that's a really nice life to live, keep going you're great 🤗🥰
Thank you Alexandra for appreciating my environment and everything. We should just enjoy life no matter how challenging it becomes.. :) Stay safe and have an artful week.
For those who are buying this set, pls follow the swatch sheet they provide at Shopee. Not the swatch card at the product. The swatch at shopee shows the right sequence and solves the issue on "permanent yellow" thing. 😂

Your work is absolutely delightful whatever the quality of the watercolours. !!!! Thank you !
Thank you so much 😀 I try to put same efforts in every brand i review to be fair. :)
The metal box is cute. I'd like to keep my pencils in that box.
hahaha i understand. This reminds me of my tin pencil case back in college. :)
The best ph review of watercolor I've seen so far
Thank you Joseph for the big praises. But I am not the best in replying on time. so sad got tons to do and to reply at. hehe. but thank you. :)
I just LOVE you little test paintings. This one was really quite beautiful.
Thank you so much 😀
I'm just starting to use watercolors so I didn't want to buy something too pro or expensive, you know. I think this set is perfect. 👌
Thank you so much for taking your time for this. I wish all reviews would be like this! Also, your art is amazing and beautiful.💖
Thank you Neptune. I'm happy to be of help. We all have different targets in art and yes, and so as to art materials. What's important is we enjoy and learn from what we have. Keep safe! ☺️🎨🙏🏻
I love the way you rate the paints by comparing them with the one you just switched. Pretty easy for us to tell which brand to stick to...❤
Glad you love them and find them helpful. Thanks for watching. 🙏
I watched some reviews with this watercolor and i was not satisfied with the information they have given to their viewers. This review is amazing!!🥰
ohh.. Thank you for the kind words and for recognizing my efforts, Alexa.. :)
Wow! Recently bought Seamiart from a local supplier, tested it and delighted. Much better than what I've started with in my watercolor discovery. Thanks!
I'm glad you're happy with your purchase Ely. Happy painting. 😊
Another channel that I will trust💖 I'm so happy that youtube recommend this channel.
Glad you found my channel.. though my reply is late, Thank you so much! :)
I am glad that there is a person reviewing this product in English because I cannot understand the others. But it's 22 dollars in Amazon what a big difference.
Happy to be of help, Charlie. 😉 sorry to hear price is more than double there. Prolly because of transport and tax fees. 😔
Received a set of this for Christmas and didn't think I'd see an in-depth review of it on TH-cam. Thank for for this! Agree, Van Gogh is also my favorite but nice to also have this for variety.
Hi Mitz. Sorry for this very late reply. You're probably enjoying this set now and might have added a few more sets. 😉 happy painting 🎨
Thank you for another in depth review, Sir! Hoping po na magreview din po kayo ng mga watercolor papers :)) More power!
Thank you rin po! :) Soooon, makakapag review rin po tayo ng paper.s :)
You really can make any watercolour look good. 😍
Thank you for the praise. 🙏
Thank you for the review Allan. 15:50, I agree with you, my skin colour also doesn't look like that paint. I visit your channel to see the paintings you create with all kinds of watercolour. You inspired me to make the most out of any watercolour I can purchase. Keep up the good work.
Honestly, for the price you paid these don't look too bad. Not the same as something of higher quality, of course, but definitely useable if your budget is very limited. I can buy this set from Wish, but including shipping it's around 35 USD! That's how much I paid for the folding Superior set too - I didn't know any better at the time.
For context, I paid a little bit *less* for a very lightly used secondhand 12 tube set of Sennelier L'Aquarelle (including the tin, not including the brush, the tubes look practically full). I paid 25 USD for my Pretty Excellent paints on Amazon UK, and have seen them for as low as 18 USD.
Yes, this set isnt really too bad at all. but for a shipping fee of 35usd, no, dont push it, unless you got some other stuff that go with it. Oh, Sennelier by all means,, one of the best. :)
I think I might get this. I'm thinking of getting into watercolor, but I don't want to buy something super expensive and pro level just yet. At the same time, I don't want dollar tree crap. This looks like it might be good.
Yes this set js good for its price and would really serve as a fun craft set. You'll love this for sure. You can upgrade anytime, after trying this out. 😊🙏🎨
They're lovely colours, i think it's more an issue of light fastness with the cheaper brands. Your swatches looked nicer than the Faber Castell that you had done previously.
Yes, these are better than the Faber Castell. In cheap paints, it's really not expected to be lightfast. They're more for trial and errors, and fun use. 🙏🎨😉
Wow, very comprehensive review...these brands should sponsor you. This video is highly informative and jam-packed. This channel will be my new go-to...salamat sir!

Thank you Rochelle, I'm glad it was helpful! :)
I bought these paints for the palette. I was planning on just washing them out and putting in daniel Smith but i endedvup playing with them. It was fun to just play with them. I had to ignore paint names . So i ended up adding a Qor mixing medium and painting an tomato . It took more work and layers but i wasnt totally disappointed. I think i will continue to play with them.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm happy that you were able to save them and play with them. 😊
Me too... I love playing with these watercolors. 💕
Wow! I just got the KOH I NOOR and now I want to get the Seamiart🤗.Thank you for the review
This set is good for it's price and best for very casual works. Enjoy the painting journey. Happy painting. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you. I was going through your videos and saw that you have no reviews of the Giotto and Primo watercolors. These are Italian brand watercolors and I started with those. All the best.
One of my 'go to' shop, I just bought metallic paints and practice paper from seamiart last week. Again, another good review and amazing sample painting whatever the brand is! At least beginners know what to get and what not to heheh. Thanks for sharing 😍

You too, keep safe. I'm planning to buy new water color set. My medium is acrylic but I wanted to try using water color 'coz I have no funds to buy more acrylics. What do you recommend Superior or Seamiart? Thank you! keep creating co-artist!
@@iaxxie713 thanks. Yeah, Watercolors are more economical and will last longer, that's why i always recommend buying the best that you can afford. Between Superior and Seamiart, I'd choose Superior. But if you can, please choose paints with pigment codes provided. Theyre more reliable when it comes to vibrancy and lightfatsness. One of the reliable but affordable paints that give the codes are the Sonnet Watercolors. For 745php, you have 16 full pans! It's twice the halfpans that superior and seamiart offer. So it's actually more practical. I have Sonnet and other choices in my shopee store. You may want to check it out. 😊

Thanks a lot for the review... I bought cheap one for personal Journaling... And since I'm not artistics nor great at painting.. Like I'm not even a begginer nor amateur.. I'm just like those copy cat painting doodle watercolour.
So I think it's a good buy for people like me who aren't professional nor serious about painting.

That is very nice packaging for a budget paint set!
I recently bought the 24 color sonnet set. In my neck of tne woods that is a relatively cheap option, if you don't want to spend the cash for artist grade quality. It just comes in a cardboard box, so I also bought a palette box.
The sonnet watercolors are also really cheap for its quality. It is one of my most recommended sets and it's full pans!
Yeyy a review bout this set! Habang nanunuod sir natatawa ako dun sa frustration nyo dun sa pink lilac saka purple haha that made me say na "i wont get such huge set" haha some colors literally looked the same
Hahaha. Kaya nga nasabi ko nalang din after, sana they have a smaller set kasi very few people need that too many colors, lalo na kung magkakahawig masyado. Hehe
@@AllanJayQuesada may certain satisfaction po kasi yung ikaw mismo yung nag mix ng color according to your liking, di po gaya ng isang malaking set na nandoon na lahat colors.
i have the same exact watercolor set. im a broke student so i chose that watercolor and yet i was able to make really good paintings with it
With the color payoff and vibrancy of these paints, there's no doubt you'd be able to make great work using them. The only issue is the lightfastness, otherwise, it's great. So just protect your outputs, store them well and everything is fine. We have to maximize what we have arpund, so kudos to that. 🙏

I was also planning to buy this on Aliexpress
Ohh thats great. Let me know how you like it once you got yours. :)

Glad it had helped. Were you convinced to get a higher range set po? hehe
@@AllanJayQuesada yup....pretty excellent or superior...not sure pa. She used acrylic paint alot and most of our watercolor are chalky or not pigmented...
I bought a semiart palette...just for the plastic travel box, i was surprised . I expected to give them to my great grand daughter...i am keeping them for a while at least. They are unexpectedly good for crap paints. Better than most.
P.s. I ignored the names of the colors and painted still lifes...the fruit came out beautiffully.especially the 3 varieties of pears.
They're good for the price right? Oh but i forgot we're from different regions. May i know how much is it your country? But yes, it exceeded my expectations.

Hello Allan, I love your reviews! I find them very useful and it's really fun to get your impressions. I had a question: what are the brushes you like best, and what are the brushes you use the most? I see you use a particular travel brush for painting out most of your review swatches and test paintings, but I've been going through your videos and I can't seem to find the information on what brush that is.
hi Francis. Thank you.
I started telling the brushes i use only last week, at the Giorgione review. Hehe. In this seamiart review, i showed and mentioned it at 7:38
I only have few flat brushes. For the swatches, I only actually use my escoda optimo kolinsky 10 flat, or silver black velvet black velvet 1/4" flat or my royal aqualon 10 flat.
For the sample painting, i use my SBV 4 travel brush alot. I think that's the youre curious about. , sometimes i use my escoda brushes, or isabey.. all travel brushes kasi maliliit ung sample paintings. my favorite brushes are the Kolinsky brushes.
@@AllanJayQuesada Thank you very much for your answer! Yes, the brush you use most often for the sample paintings was the one I was most curious about, thanks for telling me about it. Have a great day and a great week!
I'm pleasantly surprised that these performed as well a they did. If I didnt already have the Pretty Excellent set, I would have considered these.
Your safe with your Pretty Excellent set, unless you want something to play with for draft, this Seamiart could also work. :)

hahaha. sorry na! 🤣 ang mahalaga, may nakakain pa naman tayo at di natin ito ipinangungutang pa. 🤣 kidding aside, this may be 'extravagance' to others, but in my experience, this is a form investment, both material and immaterial. we learn and develop from different materials and in time, we can also share / sell some that didn't work for us. ika nga, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." so, walang sayang yan. hehe

I painted a tomato with this AND THEN TOMATOES WITH 3 other cheap paint AND 3 professional. Of the student/ inexpensive these did surprisingly well. It was actually rather difficult to tell which was which paint. The major difference was the time spent to do each one. All of the student grades took at least twice..,sometimes 5 times the layers.

I like your swatches oh man they look pretty cool.
And, after seeing your swatches of Tropicals I decided to bough these watercolor set. Your swatches really inspire me😍
Keep up the good work❤
Thank you!! making swatches of different types is very satisfying and therapeutic. Go and make your swatches real soon and a mixes swatches too. :)
I think that you can use these watercolours for commissioned paintings too if you avoid to use of course the most bright of these colours, pinks and purples. These are the colours that are usually prone to fade. Pinks and purples some skin like colours and the fluorescent ones Earth and blue colours and most of the yellows are quite permanent even in they are not made with the original pigments.
Yes, you're right. The bright pinks, reds and violets are usually the colors that fade on light. But i might just donate this set as i have other better paints to use. 😊
@@AllanJayQuesada How much better? These colours look decently pigmented, bright, with a decent amount of gum arabic into their mix ( so they stick to the paper) and have all the basic permanent colours that someone might need. (excluding the brilliant one that we've mentioned).
They come into a very nice box, decent brushes... what else would you ask from a affordable sketching set?
If you asked me to rate them I would definitely give them a very solid 9 out of 10 because it seems like a fantastic set for sketches and illustrations and that because the sketches don't fade into the sketchbooks and the illustrations are for reproduction either way.
The illustrators don't bother with the permanency of their colours.
Interesting to see some cheap watercolors swatched - I've only been watching high -end swatch videos, so it's enlightening to see the differences. I think their ultramarine looks like Phthalo Blue Red Shade to me, but at least that's a pretty close hue match. I wonder if Yellow Gray was supposed to say Yellow Green - it looks like PY 150 to me. I love how your sample painting came out!
Oh wow, literally just saw this set at shopee not even an hour ago, then pag punta ko sa youtube may review video na po kayo about the same thing haha. Thanks for the great review again sir, and excited to see your review on the superior accordion set :D

if this isnt available yet, and kailangan niyo po ng paints for therapy, you can get other paints and brands nalang po for the meantime.. God bless :)
Its a very great review and so much reliable. Auto subscribe.
Much appreciated, Ianne! Welcome to my channel. :)
super detailed review. totally subscribed. I am really torn on what should I buy superior 24 colors or this semiart ?
both are good, put Superior is a bit better. more vibrant and transparent... But if you can stretch more, baka you can consider a more reliable set like Sonnet watercolors which come in full pans. :) Thank you and enjoy watercolors! :)
Sir try mo rin po i-review yung seamiart na watercolor na parang gansai tambi in future po. Also yung metallic set po na 24 colors if interested po kayo na i-review. Thanks po!! Inaabangan ko po talaga ang review nung foldable set ng superior
Marami pong Salamat! sige po, tignan po natin kung kakayanin. :)
Thanks po ng marami Sir
Ooh, I've got that folding Superior palette! I don't hate the paints, but I'd caution against getting them too wet - I accidentally got some of them quite wet (used a way too juicy brush), and when they dried they curled and cracked on me 🤦 I look forward to seeing your review of them!
Have you seen this style from Superior? Like a Filofax with a built in palette and mini easel - I love the idea, but it's quite expensive, especially if I factor in 25% VAT for import to EU. It'll end up at something like 68 USD, which is a bit too much for me 😂 might try to DIY something similar one day, though.
Oh that sounds awful.. Maybe it has also something to do with the air? here, paints are often moist because it's humid. Hmm. I think, I havent seen that yet. can you send me the link? Thank you! :)
@@AllanJayQuesada Oh, I meant to include the link in the comment 🤦♀️😅

@@AllanJayQuesada re: the cracked paints: I think they would've been fine if they hadn't gotten too wet - the pans that were only exposed to normal amounts of water were fine. User error, really. They probably would've been fine if the pans were deeper too, but the actual cake of paint is so thin that it kind of makes sense that they can dry weird... Kind of like how a thin vs very thick piece of paper handles a lot of water - thin paper will end up much more buckled than thick, but dry paint isn't flexible the way dry paper is. Maybe. It makes sense in my head, at least 😅
actually mas una ko nkita ung set sa tokyo finds, ung 90 color set... balak ko bilhin nung una kaso 1800 kaya nagalangan ako.. buti nlng ksi sa semiart around 900 php lng, sobrang laki ng difference.. same na same lang na set... bait din ng seller, naginquire ako if pwede magrequest ng product to sell at tinanggap naman nila..
can't wait to see your review on the superior accordion style set, between that and the regular superior watercolor un ung pinili ko.. wanted to know your opinion about it
Wow, so magreresell ka na po ng Seamiart?
I think same lang sila, pero advantage ng accordion is you get to try more colors. :)
Hi sir! May bago pong watercolors yung Seamiart na store na 36 watercolor set dun na medyo kahawig po ng isa sa set ng Giorgione..
Hope ma review niyo po yun soon. Thank you po! And more subscribers to come po! 😊
daming pauso tlaga ni SeamiArt. hahaha. sige po, icheck ko yan. Salamat po! :)
Hi Sir Allan! You inspire me to learn more about watercolors. How about schmincke watercolor? I haven't seen you reviewing that. I would love to if you would. That's one of my favorite watercolor but i don't have enough money to buy that. But for sure i'll buy that one day. Thank you
Hello! Schmincke is one of the best. I have a 24 half pans set and also have tubes. Will review them very soon. :) and i might put into half pans my tubes. puwede tayo maghati. :)
I received mine today😍 Can’t wait to use it!!! Your video is so informative💖💖💖
I'm so excited for you. 😊🎨🙏
salamat nasagot tanong ko kung opaque. di kasi kita sa review ni earl. although, may kutob na ako dahil madaming pastel colors. sulit pa din for P395. :)
yes, sulit parin nga siya, unlike nung Giorgione. hehe
I saw something similar at the art supply online-shop where I order all my watercolor tubes and sometimes full pans and paper. It's really inexpensive but I think it's a dye-based paint set. Sometimes there is a lot of fillers too. But I don't know about the cheap sets... It's like a waist of money for me, even if there's a turquoise included. I like turquoises actually.
it is really a waste of money if you are gonna buy an item, but not gonna be using them because it didnt please you. so its better to checkout reviews first. I think the sets that are cheap or even those which are dye based are intended not to mislead but more to cater to those who have less to spend but want to experience. Certainly, if paint is too cheap, it is low quality. However, it is useable and is able to show which color is which. This set is cheap but visually, i can achieve the same painting i made using the more expensive paints.. The question now is, "how long will the painting last?" So, for cheap paints, i do not recommend it for professional or commission works. :)
Hello Sir Allan, great video as always! I discovered a Tokyo Finds 90-color set just recently that looks very identical to this one. Hope you’d also be able to review that one, much love and stay safe always!
Im hearing alot of info about their likeness.. And i think it is true. This set and the glittery set have versions same with Tokyo Finds.. I think, if this is true, wag ko nalang ireview, kasi sayang naman kung parehas lang pala sila dba, iba nalang. hahaha. and besides, mas mahal yung tokyo finds, rebranded kasi. That is what they do to Mungyo, when it is rebranded by Prima Marketing.
This is one of the best watercolor reviews out there and I appreciate it! I also want to know if this is comparable to superior watercolor because I want to buy a set but I am stuck between these two... I wonder which is better considering the price and number of colors
Hi, thank you. Hmm. Please take a look at 29:05 again.. there in the comparison between Seamiart and Superior i chose the one which is more transparent.. not huge difference in quality but price difference is much felt. Still, both are affordable so id go with the one that's more transparent generally.
Hi i really love your reviews! Very in depth.
May i ask if u uploaded already your review for seamiart superior foldable watercolor set? Thank you!
Thank you, Valerie.
Yes, ive uploaded it last week. Pls dont forget to subscribe. 🙏🏻🎨☺️ Here's the link on the superior foldable:

I think just like other cheap watercolors, less ang vibrancy at medyo may pagka-opaque talaga yan compare sa ibang student grade like prang lalo na sa mga artist grade talaga, pero ayos na yan lalo na sa mga nagsisimula pa lang
For me halos pantay lang ito sa performance ng Prang. But as for the total package, mas pipiliin ko parin tong Seamiart. 16 colors lang kasi ang prang plus magenta and hold na limited edition, kaya wala nang pastel mixes needed.. if you choose the best and transparent colors dito sa seamiart, meron din naman, and more than half of the 50 colors yun. Swerte ang Prang at maaga siyang nakapag establish ng name sa PH, earlier than this age na marami nang options. Kaya sa mga schools, ito ang alam ng older teachers at ito rin ang nirerecommend. When I was using Prang back in college, akala ko, Prang na yung pinakamaganda kasi naka eskaparate siya sa National Bookstore.🤣
Wow! talaga po, siguro kasi kilala na talaga ang prang but dahil sa sinabi niyo ma-afford ko na ata bumili ng wide set of watercolor at di na kailangan pang mag mix (i've been using 16 colors ng Prang at medyo paubos na ang mahal din kasi kaya natatakot ako bumili). I will try that SEAMIART Watercolor set😃👍
@@einho9078 na pressure naman ako. Haha. Joke. If youve seen my review nung 2 Prangs sets, makikita na bumaba narin kasi ung quality ng bagong Prang. Maganda parin but not like before. Ang edge ni prang over seamiart is semi moist siya kaya mas madaling irewet, and dahil pili lang ang colors, halos transparent lahat. Ang cons ng prang for me is ipisin siya, pati artwork ko iniipis pag napakapal ang application. Nag babago rin ung white paint in time. Nagingitim. Itong seamiart, will yet to prove kung magbabago pa siya.. but ss initial testing, its really good for the price.
aaaaa gising pa ko hahaha
Ui, nag pm ako sayo kanina. Dba may pa voucher ka? Babanggitin ko sana rito e.
@@AllanJayQuesada Ay di pa po ako nagbubukas ng messenger, sorry sir hehe
This is the best review ever omg :DD thank you very much i really like your at sir!
Woaah. Thank you. 🙏🏻☺️🎨
Wow! Seamiart! 😍 I miss your vlogs, Kuya Allan! A huge selection of colors itong si Seamiart.. Ang damiii nila for an affordable price.
I find your swatch card as more organized one. Aaah, the sample painting is so beautiful! Ang ganda! 🥰
Seamiart is really something!!! Now, I'm as curious to trying some of Seamiart like watercolor brushes or potentate watercolor paper/sketchbook..
P.S. Para na naman silang pastillas at start ng pag-unbox.haha. 😁
Thank you! 🤗 hahaha. ang late ng reply ko, pero welcome back Kathleen.
@@AllanJayQuesada Owkie lang po. Huli man at magaling ay may maihhabol rin. 😁😉
Have you tried using a Flow Medium to make the colors move, instead of just adding water?
oh, ive seen one in a local store. i believe it was a Schmincke.. but, that flow medium of Schmincke is even more expensive than this SEAMIART set. hahaha
Would you rather have this or Prang 8 set for beginners? :)
If you'd watched the comparison starting at 28:15 , you'd have idea that the Prang 16 is somewhat on same level as Seamiart.. i guess, against only 8 colors, id go for Seamiart. For me, the weakness of Prang is the very elementary (color wheel) selection of colors.. good for school use, but for beginners and enthusiasts outside school, a range of earth colors and CMYK colors included in a set is an advantage.
hi i know im very late to this video but i have a watercolor set and its like the paint tube kind and i ordered this one cause i see people say its very good and i was wondering how long it usually takes to run out of these? i will be so happy if you answer, thanks!
Hi kean. How long will this last will really depend on how you use it, how thick you apply paint, the coverage of your application, your style, size of work, etc.. In my estimate, you may be able to make a atleast a hundred 💯 A4 size paintings. Considering you consume each color evenly. I hope that helps.
Thank you so much!! I just got the paint and im about to use them, thanks!
Hello, which one do you recommend, pretty excellent or seamiart 90 watercolors?
ang ganda ng review and at the same time may halong wit. this is my first time watching in your channel but I subscribed asap :)))
Thank you po. 🙏😉🎨
