Hi guys, Happy New Year! In this video I'll swatch and review the Schmincke Retro watercolour set I got during Jackson's Black Friday offers, plus some A. Gallo watercolours and ink. The box is very compact and feels premium with the Schmincke logo at the front, I just had such a hard time opening it! That said, I love the size and low profile, and as you'll see, I managed to even find a way to add extra pans. I hope you like it :) Excited to share more things with you this year, thanks so much for your support. XOXO Carol
I have that small Schmincke palette as well and I didn't really use it because I didn't like that it didn't hold that many colors. But then I decided to become brutal and get rid of the metal insert things. I managed to get 5 half-pans (vertically) on the top and bottom row and 4 (horiontally) in the middle. I doubt they will ever come out again, it's a very snug fit. But I love it now and use it all the time :) The difference between 8 and 14 colors is immense ^^ a small space wonder
Haha I love and understand the brutal desire to have more paints 😅 I was happy enough with the quarter pans I added, I cool red and cool brown made wonders
Happy New Year!!! 🥂🍾🍀 Nice mini haul and an enjoyable Video on top. Good start into 2025. The Schmincke palette box is cute and I love the retro paints...but I will have to wait till the next sale is on. Says my accountant... One of my few Lukas tubes is Naples Yellow Reddish, a lovely color. And such a bulky tube, love it. Thank you!
The lemon yellow is pretty vibrant also, but considering the lack of a cool red and a cool blue, the mixes are indeed more on the muted side. By adding the two cooler primaries it is more versatile

Happy new year! It’s a lovely palette indeed
I really enjoyed this video - - thank you for taking the time to make it!
Oh thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
The little bijoux watercolor box by Schmincke is adorable!! 🥰🥰
Yes, I confess the box sold me more than the paints themselves!

👋 Yes, the metal box is agreeable. Useful too, I think. It's in my wishlist, although I don't care much for the colours.

Happy new year!! Thank you too 😊
I got that set, too! Try different half pans. I was able to add 4 to the middle row.
Thanks for the tip! 😊
Yeah, winsor and newton or cotman half pans will fit
I didn’t like the selection of colours in the Schminke retro set but I was able to add a middle row to make the palette more useful
That’s great 😊 I think an extra blue and cool red would make it more versatile indeed
Very interesting video ❤
Thank you 😊
Schminke mixes look dull to me. Best 2 colors in that set are the ultramarine and the vermillion. AGallo colors are beautiful.
