They have some very nice colors like Naples Yellow Red, it's not opaque and very usefull for skin tones. I like also their blues, like cerulean blue or phythalo blue. Some of their yellows are not single pigment colors but Van Gogh are very precise in terms of color names, W&N paynes gray is almost an indigo. Overall I like them very much, I don't spend too much money on colours. W&N is nice, but too expensive for the small difference. I have only their lightfast Alizarin Crimson. Same with all other brands. I use Van Gogh, White Nights and Rosa Galery. I don't care about the grades, it's just advertising. If the pigment is the one that I need and the color is lightfast and intensive then it's a good color for me.

I agree 💯. Unless you are a very wealthy person the vangogh are better because they are affordable. I love white nights but in uk we cannot but them anymore coz of the vile war. Rosa color I want to try but in uk they are also expensive. Are they worth the £75 for 12 full pans

Van Gogh is a very good student brand paint. They re-wet well and are pretty vibrant. I do find some of their colors to be a bit "chalky". Unless you are into buying sets, I don't see a reason to buy one of their sets. Instead, the tubes are cheap enough that you can just buy the colors you want and put them in your own palette. My favorite VG colors are Dusk Pink and Dusk Yellow. They stand up well to professional brand colors.

Thank you. I just bought this year Van Gogh and as I usually use oils I’m loving the nice selection already chosen for us and seriously? The price difference in uk is crazy. Same W&N colours cost over £80 and the Van Gogh cost me only £15

Great suggestion! Thanks!

Van Gogh is great, but for some colours like the Cerulean you would want to use the Windsor & Newton as its uses the proper pigment which makes it granulating. Personally i think a Pure Phthalo blue pigment instead of the Cerulean Hue they included would have made the set much better especially as they included white so you could have mixed the Cerulean hue if you really wanted it.

Thank you so much for this lovely comparison. As I have not tried Winsor & Newton yet, I can only say what I think about the Van Gogh watercolor. I have exact the same pocket set and find it amazing. For me as beginner they work just great.

thanks for the comparison! Personally prefer the much more magenta color of the Van Gogh cool red.. you can get bright purples with a bright magenta... but I haven't tried either Van Gogh or w&N pro.. I have the cotman and the sampler cet has the permanent rose which is a bright PV19 that makes nice purples with their phthalo blue

@@EceGurlerArt it's a dependable student grade... Though I find it hard to rewet from the pans. The tubes seem fine and I heard they have different formulas for pans and tubes... But It's not as intense as Schmincke AKADEMIE.

I have never tried W&N watercolors, but I use a lot of van gogh. Up to now, it's been my favorite. A tip for van gogh - spray them with water to soak for a few minutes before using them. It makes the colours wayyy more vibrant

Great idea!!

Best Student grade, beginners set: Van Gogh Best Professional grade: Daniel Smith. There are are some colors that I like from W&N but I wouldn't bother get a full set or build one with most colors being W&N. I like everything else from that brand, even their paper is TOP quality. The only product they make, that I don't consider TOP of the line, is their water colors.

Tesekkurler karsilastirma icin. Bence Van Gogh baslangic icin guzel bir boya. Evet pigment olarak cok yuklu degil ama transparan ve isik hasligi cok iyi. Bunlar asla goz ardi edilmemesi gereken konular. Her tablet icin renk kodu ve pigmenti yerlerinden cikarilip ince bir sharpie ile yazilabilir. Ben hep yazarim. Gerektiginde tupten kolayca tekrar doldurulur. Tabletler fircanin arkasindaki oyuk kisim sayesinde kolayca cikarilabilir. Son oalrak, bence boyalar en iyi pamuk kagitta islenebilir ve kendini gosterir. Bu boyalarla iyi bir kagit uzerinde basarili isler cikaranlar var. California’dan sevgiler💕

Why are you comparing student grade from one brand against professional grade in another? It would have been more useful to have Van Gogh vs Cotman.

@EceGurlerArt

Жыл бұрын

I think this video shows how close they are. Often I get questions asked between student grades and professionals. For some reason, beginners think student grade ones are crappy and want to start with professional ones right away. Which is fine, but really not a great investment as a beginner.

But true, Cotman would be a more fair comparison!

His name is not pronounced ‘van Go’ or ‘van Goff’. The ‘gh’ at the the end of his name is pronounced the same as the ‘ch’ in the German word ‘Ich’.

@@markyteo and if you like watercolors that move and flow in water, it doesn't have much movement, either for the most part. That said, I still really enjoy my Van Gogh watercolor paints, and I play with them all the time. it makes it affordable to just jump in an play with paint on a regular basis vs when wanting to do a more serious painting. Also, there are actually a few colors in Van Gogh that I prefer to more professional lines. They have a really pretty yellow-green (can't remember the name of) that I haven't found a match that I like yet in a professional line, so I just use the Van Gogh version instead. There are a few others, but that is one of the main ones I prefer. :)

@@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx thanks for taking the time to reply. I guess we all get used to certain things once we use it long enough. I tried desperately to use them up (still working on it) and I think at this moment I am kind of aware of its characteristics. I should try out that colour you suggested.

The comparison isn't very fair, Van Gogh is studentgrade and the winsor and Newton is professional graden. Dus for me all the credit go's to Van Gogh!
