- Wild like Qor? Ukraine watercolor now easy to get in the USA. Full pan 21 color set, professional quality paint. Art supply review, demo painting, color chart swatch. ↓ SHOW MORE for supplies and other info! ↓
These paints were beautiful, highly pigmented, vibrant, clean colors with 18 of the colors being reliable in regards to how they flow/disperse. They are mostly staining colors, not good for lifting techniques. If you prefer pastel, muted tones, this set would last a very long time watered down. I found them to make easy transitions and beautiful washes wet on wet. I also used them for layering, as shown in my demo painting, as each new layer did not effect the layers below.

This is soo intriguing...
I know this was a while ago but i just found this brand a few months ago and I really like this paint. i bought quite a few open stock and they have a beautiful magenta rose pr 122 (just as nice as DS Quint Lilac which is my fav but much cheaper) as well as a transparent yellow named aureleon py150. I like their plastic palette much better than their standard tin palettes.
Lovely art. Lovely review. Thanks for sharing. My preference for dispersion, or lack of, depends upon what I'm painting. When you did the dispersion test on the violet, black, and blue, I imagined how the blue and black would make a great effect for creating fish tails or fins.
QOR sacres me out…it's good for flowy abstract style…not friendly with traditional blending and brushwork controling technique. I love paint with moderate flow or to one extreme that it don't have any speeding agent in it like Holbein. You can always add oxgall but not the other way around.
I find it really tricky to work with Rosa or Qor, it's definitely easier to work with Holbein. I have had a Qor set for a while now, but have a hard time finding a use for them compared to my other paints.
Ohhhh, I've been wanting to see more reviews on these paints since I saw them almost a year ago on a colouring book channel but no one seems to have it. I even subed to Rosa's YT channel in hopes that they will announce something for the international market. The hexagon shaped paints are just so cute. And you're right, I didn't expect to see that much of a difference in the flow between paints!! These sort of remind me of the Renesan Paints that recently came out of Poland that I also wanted to try but can't seem to find someone to send them to New Zealand.
I loveeee these videos. How do you manage to source your difficult to get palettes?
I got lucky! These happened to pop up on Amazon USA last week and I jumped at the chance to try a watercolor brand I hadn't seen before. I check Amazon every week for random new watercolor stuff (no one has forced me to admit I have an art supply addiction yet lol). I haven't tried Renesan but I saw them on Etsy recently and was tempted by their reasonable prices. Speaking of, there is a brand from Poland I REALLY want to get though that I can't figure out how to order to the USA - have you seen Irit's video on Roman Szmal Aquarius watercolors? Some of the colors were Daniel Smith lookalikes in granulation and color separation. Now if only I could open a portal to grab some of those :) th-cam.com/video/fWM4jU21E2c/w-d-xo.html
@@KimberlyCrick Jackson Art sells Roman Szmal nos, I saw this week.
@@KRCanetti YAY!!! Thank you so much for letting me know :D
Thanks for the video. I am researching Rosa at the moment as i am tryingvto decided between them and Roman Szmal. I am a but confused now because the last video said that the Rosa didn't flow much. I like them to flow, I am loose painter. Like to have relationship between myself and the paint.
ДЯКУЮ!!!чудові відео!!😍💙💛
This is a Ukrainian brand ....
Yes, they make very lovely paints.
We, artists, need to promote these watercolors more right now and help Ukraine.
Unfortunately nothing is shipping from Ukraine, so all the art supply stores that artists promote are quickly running out of stock - potentially indefinitely. This means that the art store may benefit, but not the Rosa Gallery factory yet. It's very sad. In addition to that, if this crisis does resolve, there will be a very long time before we can support through purchases as the shipping companies will be backed up once they resume operations (currently UPS and FedEx are not running in Russia or Ukraine).
Wonderful review. Thank you.
I loooove flow! Its such fun to watch and its challenges are fun too. That said, I have to have both. Sometimes I want it to stay right where I put it. it really depends on what I'm painting. I've never tried QOR though. Most of my paints are Sennelier or MG. I add synthetic ox gall if something isn't flowing enough. Thanks... very well done, informative, video.
I know what you mean, it is so fun to watch it flow and Qor can't be beat in that department. Most of the time staying in place is better for my art style, but when I do a swatch card I get so amused by wildly flowing paint. One of these days I'm going to have to try to approach a subject matter that will allow me the freedom to play around with the flow more. I haven't been patient enough for the challenges of managing unruly paint just yet lol :)
I bought a set of 28 and when I did a color chart I thought ...almost the same as White Nights, But no, they are not the same. They do not mix so good and they are too vibrant for me. I know you may add more water ...but this dosen't work as one can expect. Also too opaque. They are not bad. I could say quite good, but not as good as to use them again and again. That means that from time to time I will paint with them and won't be dissapointed.
Hello, I have question, bc I'm currently looking into these paints. Have you done/or maube are planning to do a lightfastness test of them? I trust you very much about fugitive and lightfast informations ❤️ and they have PR177 in their line up as well as PO73 and others that even they rate as 2 stars :) Edit: nevermind, I found the post and you are awesome, I admire the job you put in and valuable information you share ❤️ I'm still wondering why they ratę their Indigo and Violet with 2 stars, it concerns me a little bit... so I will be eagerly waiting for the lightfastness results ❤️ :D
I have a few tubes of this brand and they might just be my absolute favourite paints. It amazes me how little there is about these paints, review wise, nice to see one.
They have some amazing colors. If you haven't collected it, I highly recommend their magenta PR122. It's the best I've found from any brand!! I've been waiting to do more videos about them until they are easier to order worldwide. It's a shame many people haven't heard of them yet. I have swatched out over 30 colors and have a list of the new colors coming out later this year on my website review if you're interested it's at www.kimcrick.com/pages/rosa-gallery-watercolor-review
@@KimberlyCrick I ordered the magenta with the other colours I got but it never arrived, finally gave up and ordered it somewhere else, so I only very recently got that one. It's absolutely gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of annoyingly bright colours, and working with primaries, so for the amount of paint I have I have my share of magenta. It's definitely the brightest I own, very pigmented, and the hue is perfect.
@@KimberlyCrick oh new colours, that's dangerous!
I'm currently working on building myself a new palette, probably getting their chromium oxide for it, and I do still need something like a cerulean blue... hmm. Thank you for this highly dangerous information!
Another beautiful review! I absolutely love the whoosh factor of some of those colors. It’s what got me addicted to watercolors in the first place. The Aquazol (probably spelled incorrectly) that QOR uses in their watercolors creates such magical effects! Right now I am hooked on the handmade paints by different makers but I still love to play with my QOR and M. Graham paints.
I know what you mean, it's like magic watching colors move across wet paper! I got some Qor and a couple granulating Daniel Smith colors early on and it started my addiction to watercolor. I keep debating making a video dedicated just to the paints that do unusual things :)
Kimberly Crick Art What a great idea! I will be sure to keep watching, I Love all of your videos. 🙂💕🙂
I have a few tubes of Turner watercolor & those don’t move at all I hate it. I also don’t think I would like watercolor that flow too much like Qor.
Awesome review! I just ordered these. Thank you! 🎨🖌️
Do any of the Rosa gallery paints you’ve tried granulate? 🙂
A bit in caput mortum, but mostly just some very minor granulation in the normally granulating pigments like ultramarine pb29, cobalt teal pb28 and chromium oxide pg17. Overall this brand is not a go-to for texture effects, they really grind/mill them to a fine particle size.
New supplies are so exciting - thanks for sharing
I miss your videos sooo much 😢
Great review. I’m new to art so need help with what products to use . 💐🌺🌸 new supporter here 505 🔔✅😊
Thank you for your review, although I am from Ukraine, but only recently started using Rosa. It seems to me that this watercolor is for water technology. Even when it dries, it is somehow different. I compare with Van Gogh and White Nights. In addition to the set, I also bought tubes # 741 (wonderful turquoise, it looks pastel, but when dried it's just wonderful, and uniquely combines with other colors. And # 734 coral. Also very spreading. It seems it's just synthetic pigments in the composition, because such effects are I also think you need to buy English red, which is not enough in the set.

I love that whoosh of color! Sadly these aren't available at that link anymore. I try to avoid sets that are heavy on cadmiums and cobalts anyway so I guess it's for the best. Very interesting set though!
Thanks for letting me know. I have a feeling everyone who was selling these on Amazon sold out over the holidays. They might come back in the future, I know this brand is still pretty young but is growing their catalog quite a bit!
Dear Jennifer. You can obtaine ROSA Gallery watercolours from our partners: 1) www.artemiranda.es/#/dfclassic/query=rosa%20gallery&query_name=match_and (in Spain) or 2) omniaproart.com/collections/watercolor-paint (in USA).
@@rosaukraine sold out in the UK on amazon as of today's date
Good news for me, not even tempted. In previous videos you showed the drawing process with isograph. Do you use 0.2 for all of these? Lines seem more robust than that size.
While beautiful paints, there are definitely some issues with inconsistency of flow/color choices, so I can understand deciding to pass on this set (especially if you already own a lot of watercolors). Yes, 0.20 size isograph pen. This drawing was done a long time ago so I don't have video footage for it, I had just never got around to coloring it. Tiny drawing though, perhaps the zoomed in image on the trading card size makes it look like the lines are more bold.
Great video, and review. Thank you. 😊
There's gotta be some sort of dispersion agent in those paints. Maybe the company's just choosing not to disclose it.
My thoughts too, for sure it seems like ox-gall or even a dye additive that is such a thin particle it flows in water faster than a heavier pigment. I checked the box twice just to make sure I read it right where they claim "100% gum arabic + pigment". Imagine the look on my face when those colors took off across my paper lol /shrug
Sorry, hit thumbs down by mistake
you can just change that byJUST... hitting thumbs UP...
After watching your amazing review, I felt very intrigued and ordered a set of 28 from their website. It was a reasonable price at 53 dollars (shipping and tax included), so I’m very excited to start playing. Also, have you checked out the renesans paints yet? I ordered a couple tubes from the Etsy shop a little creative, and it was only 7 dollars for a 15 mL tube. Anyways, I love your reviews and appreciate you testing out art supplies for us as it is very helpful when shopping!
Rosa Gallery has such lovely paints, I hope you'll love them as much as I do. If you end up collecting more from them, their magenta is the most beautiful version of PR122 that I have tried between dozens of top manufacturers. I was very disappointed with Renesans though because several of the colors i got were too shiny with binder. I also wasn't happy with their confusing product catalog and differences between swatches and what you actually receive. If you're interested, I collected my thoughts about Renesans here - www.kimcrick.com/pages/renesans-watercolor-review-intense-tubes-and-extra-fine-pan-professional-paints
@@KimberlyCrick well I’m glad I ordered the Rosa gallery set, I honestly got them because it seemed similar to qor’s at least in wet-on-wet washes.
And wow it seems like the renesans’ line has quite a few problems. So I have already ordered a large amt of tubes from the company and it was expensive but more affordable than other artist grade watercolors. If there is such a difference between the tubes and pans, maybe the formulation might work better in the tube form? I guess I will wait to reserve judgement until they arrive and if there are any big problems, I might contact the seller.
Thank you for responding so quickly!!
It's important to know the different types of paints and what each will do. Some will be predictable while others not so.
After that, as a creator, one has to utilize the various characteristics of each where they can best contribute. Aces in their places.
Botanical painting probably isn't the best forum for paints that like to party hardy on the paper. Loose painting would be the better choice for this quality. Maybe a botanical rendering background of a wet-on-wet unpredictable color push might create something interesting and unique.
Ultimately, this is why swatching is a good habit to have.
I enjoy m graham level flow. I hate Bee paper, tho--watercolor sticks like permanent marker.
Yeah, the Bee paper can be good or bad depending on your style. For me I love it for glazing because when a color is staining it really sticks and I can go over it with a new layer with no fear of disturbing the last one. However, if a color is easily lifting, like English Red or Potter's Pink, it will still easily lift from Bee paper. I recently tried a paper from Mairtini and their sizing was made for easy lifting. it was great for fixing mistakes or adding highlights with a damp brush, but it nearly crippled my normal work flow for layering lol :)
Thats so interesting! Your layered work is gorgeous, and I can see how you'd need that paper quality to achieve the stunning results. The paper I like would make a hot mess if I tried multiple layers. Thanks again for this review!
Your art work is beautiful!
Thank you :)
are they similar to the white nights?
wonderful review! Thanks!
Kimberly Have you ever done a lightfastness test on these ?? Thanks !
Yes, you can find all my lightfast tests at KimCrick.com and the Rosa Gallery full catalog results are at www.kimcrick.com/pages/rosa-gallery-watercolor-review
hi brother , can you recommend me a watercolor for beginners. i saw alot of compare between rosa and sonnet white night so may i know which one is better please ?
Rosa Gallery is better, they are professional grade. Sonnet is student grade (less pigment). Rosa is closer to White Nights, both of which offer very good color choices and I recommend seeing if you can collect individual colors. Magenta Rose (PR122) from Rosa Gallery is one of my favorite paints of all time, better than even Daniel Smith or Schmincke.
You’re very talented! 😊😊🦋
how fun is that! i used to think i want dispersion on my paints, but it happened to mt painting once, and i didn't liked it haha
Same, I can't handle it when there is too fast of a disperse rate, too much chaos lol. Thank you for all your kind comments, I appreciate it. Happy painting :)
Beautiful artwork ♡♡♡
I love this painting! I would love to see you swatch the new gansai tambi art nouveau set. I think the colours would really suit this style!
Thank you, I love their new color selection - but I think I'd rather DIY mix similar colors. Unfortunately Kuretake Gansai has disappointed me recently with overall poor lightfastness and undisclosed animal products. I may decide to do a video showing how to mix a nouveau style palette one day though :)
That would be great!! I love the colors in that palette!❤
Sadly, these can’t be found anymore on Amazon… I own the 12 color set. I bought it last year, and it is one of my favorite sets. Very well-balanced colors in this set. I wanted the larger one, but by the time I went to go get it it was gone. And you can’t find even a trace of it anywhere on Amazon.Thank you for reviewing these, I really love them!
I know I'm so sad that they keep taking these down from Amazon. I did find them on Etsy though. Rosa Gallery makes such beautiful paints!
They’re back on amazon. Just got the 24 set
I have a question. You wrote PV23 for the violet on the colour chart. Is it not PV3? I have seen a chart where it says so. Or could they have changed the pigment?
It is PV23 on my label and every online chart I could find including their website. I put their full color chart and the swatches up at www.kimcrick.com/pages/rosa-gallery-watercolor-review and I have done a 1 year LF test that shows no fading for this color (reaffirms that it is the more stable dioxazine, not pv3 which usually darkens or hue shifts). I have not yet seen any information regarding changes to the pigment used in Violet.
@@KimberlyCrick Thank you! Thats great. Yes, PV3 fades even in a sketchbook. I might consider the 24 set then. They are available at 20€. Seems like very good value for the money.
@@Charlotte-sq8cq I just figured out what you probably saw regarding Rosa and PV3! It's in their student grade set ("Rosa Studio" student has PV3, not "Rosa Gallery" pro that uses PV23 instead).
@@KimberlyCrick Yes, you are right. I checked now. I can't understand why I did not see it.
@@KimberlyCrick Rosa uses PV3 as a component in the Lavender paint, and yes, it fades there quite noticably (I did my own testing). Their PV23 Violet is quite stable.
I honestly did not expected much from them, but most of the paints are quite good and lightfast, even opera pink had litte change in color.
The whole range is 80 colors now, with several "as-if-Schmincke-granulating" colors.
Not actually Schmincke, also not DS, but local to me and the price is good. I use a lot of them, and have specific love for Violet (best intencity and value/money), Ultramarine (best price here), Carmine (same), Cobalt Turquoise, Indigo, Grape Black and Black Green.
They also produce A LOT of brushes, including my all-time favourite travel sable/synthetic mix (which now unfortunately is expensive as hell, to the "Escoda-expensive" point)
