I have been l looking for this set or better yet, just the ultramarine ash. So far no luck . Jerrys artarama says t g ey will message me when in stock..aaargh....frankly from what I can see it looks much the sky's much of the time where I live. I refer to it as Gloome county...Not Broome County... l over the vlog.❤
Hi Elisabetta, I wondered when someone would notices these. I bought the same set to add to a little set of greens and neutrals I was building from Marc Jackman. It fits in perfectly and adds a secondary colour selection to the rather idiosyncratic primaries I included. I love the entire collection, 21 very unusually colours that granulated and behave in their own way. These are not all the best lightfast but honestly they are as good as I need. I LOVE the ultramarine ash and Ostwald grey, lovely light neutrals. The other grey, darker is also lovely. The W&N go very well with the jackmans with very little surface gloss which I really like. I did I’d not even think to mix with this set yet, my principal reason for getting them was to complete this special set which as a lot of granulating colours. All that enjoyment yet to come. Thanks for showing me the possibilities. I really loved this set, more than my other way back sets from Schminke I think, maybe because I was actively looking for muted options. Hope you are having a good summer.
@@lindyashford7744 thank you Lindy for your long comment. I’m really intrigued by Jackman…. Should I have a go? Also Wallace Seymour has very interesting neutrals…. PS I find lightfastness not always so important for my needs, I doubt my sketches are bound to be hanged for centuries 😂
@@WatercolorElisabetta I like what I have seen of the Jackmans so far, initially I bought a little selection of seven greens, rather than buying the far more expensive DS or Schmincke granulating colours. They rewet easily, have a heavy pigment load when dried in pans, and when painted out have a pleasing Matt finish, no shiny surface. They are affordable enough to take a chance and their non granulating colours have some unusual pigments. Couldn’t resist!
I noticed this set when browsing and am happy you’ve reviewed them. Yes, the grays peeked my interest but as someone else said here if they had been released in a limited edition I may have purchased them. The orange looks “thin”, like it really should be more pigmented and is feeling its loss. Actually, to me they all seem to be like that. The grays also seem weak, and with their release it seems like W&N are jumping on the bandwagon grays are currently enjoying. Your reviews are always thorough and enjoyable to watch. Thank you.
@@Grognardlass yes, it’s not the perfect palette, but a lovely addition for a curios sketcher like me. I found the greys really enjoyable! Thank you so much for your comment 😄
I loved your little demo painting. That Field’s Orange almost has a slight fluorescent glow to it. I really loved the Ultramarine Ash as a ready made pale sky wash. I thought the darker colours were all incredible staining they seemed to cling to the paper in your swatches and not move once laid down.
That sketch is very pretty and that palette is really creative, I especially love the greys! And I'd love a review from that book, it got me intrigued after seeing you create that sketch :D
I learned something new today. Congratulations Mr. Ostwald. Lucky me. If I ever make it on a trivia show and I get asked about Mr Ostwald, well, now I'll know. :)
@@WatercolorElisabettaI bought my set from cass art , they came in a 24 tin , the 24 tin only has the 8 revival half pans in it , I paid just under £40 for them inc the tin xx .
That is so wonderful❤ I checked their website and this set is sold out. your art work is so lovely. What is the name of the french artist and his book? I'm from Asia..
So I've thought this in one of your previous videos but I wasn't sure so I didn't say anything, but it almost looks like the sizing on your paper has gone bad. Paint shouldn't stain and "stick" there quite so much (on your swatching paper). What do you think? I loved seeing these colors and your painting.
Yes, the paper is not the best, but usually it behaves better! Maybe this unbearable heat doesn’t help (I hate AC so i don’t use it). On the other hand that’s the paper where I collect all my swatches and I would like to be consistent. Thank you for your comment Miranda!
Interesting! I just saw the ultramarine ash the other day on the winsor newton website and was intrigued about it. I confess though I’m a bit disappointed that they are almost all mixes… I would have thought they were releasing special limited edition single pigments
I appreciate the fact they come up with innovative products! And I’m not taliban about mixes, if well calibrated and high quality like this. I definitely recommend this set! Thanks a lot for your comment, I love it when I read other artists’ thoughts and feelings. 😀
I had not heard of these! The greys look lovely. I wonder how they compare to davys Gray. Let us know if the are easier to rewet after dried. Also, lovely painting. ❤
Hi Paulina! Thank you for stopping by! For me, ash and mineral Grey are in the same “school of thought “ of Davy’s grey, delicate and soft. But Davy’s Grey is greenish, these two aren’t.
@@WatercolorElisabettaI agree, ultra. Ash is the bluest, mineral grey very slightly cooler than neutral, I have two davy’s grey’s both are definitely green leaning but slightly different. Painted out it would depend on adjacent colours to pushing their underlying colours but still this trio (+ davy’s grey are very interesting pales.
The Ultramarine Ash looks perfect for our Dutch skies. I also like the Tyrian purple. It looked to me that the flow in water isn't as good as I would prefer.
@Brilliantnash I have some experience of Dutch sky as, as I have often said, my son lived in Maastricht for a few years. And yes!! It is perfect!! (Maastricht is one of my favourite places in the world !)
Hi! There could be more reasons..try putting water on paper and stop paint before the edge so it will naturally diffuse…or it can be the paper. When it’s hot I get more hard edges because the paint dries fast. Just experiment! Try working wet on wet anyway…
Winsor and Newton's permanence ratings on these seem way off. A mix of PG36 and PY138 is AA while a mix of PV37 and PR202 is B?? All four are lightfast organic pigments that should be an A. And then Ultramarine ash, a mix of two inorganic pigments is just A? The "old" Winsor and Newton would never give a new mix of two organic pigments an AA rating. As far as I am aware, this would be the first AA rating for an organic pigment, much less a mix, from Winsor Newton in their history.
I thought it was a bit odd too, I admit. However, having worked for many years in a large food company, I know that big brands can’t afford to lie on labels. It’s a matter of reputation…so I make an act of faith and decided that I trust Winsor & Newton! It’s a brand I completely trust. But I agree, I had my doubts too! Btw, why do you say “old” W&N? I guess there is some information I miss. Have they had a change in ownership? I will check it out!
Mmmh no it is waterproof….the other colours should look dirty too… you make me worry now! It looked clean and vibrant to me 😱. Maybe the ink wasn’t perfectly dry? 😰
Your title says Limited Edition, I can't find any information from W&N to back up this claim of limited edition. That title could put people off buying, as why get into a range of pigments that are temporarily available.
I have this information from Momarte, the online store I bought it from. It clearly says “limited edition “. I have read it also on Artist pigments website artistpigments.org/brands/winsor-and-newton-professional-water-colour/rr2y3-ostwald-grey. However, I’m just reporting what I have read and I might be wrong! It hasn’t been fully launched yet. Also, if a colour is successful, they might turn it into permanent!
Intriguing colours, especially the greys. Ultramarine Ash is divine.
Yes Suzy!! It’s absolutely divine! ♥️ now I regret not having used that word in the video 🤩

Fascinating palette!
I agree 🥰
An unusual but beautiful palette of colors. Your painting captures the creative spirit of the palette. Well done, Winsor and Newton.
@@user-wk1mw9nj3i76 yes, unusual but beautiful. Who needs a new palette like the other ones we already have? Thank you!
I would just want Ultramarine Ash! So beauitful.
Jude, I couldn’t agree more…. It’s my favourite. I think you can buy it open stock!
Ditto! It's stunning for skies
