Jackson’s Art Supply Watercolors: First Impressions, Swatch, Sennelier Comparison, and Glazing Chart

Hi again! In this video I am taking a look at Jackson’s Art Supply’s in house watercolor Brand. These are watercolors made of honey that are very similar to Sennelier watercolors in many ways, but the price is much lower! For this first impressions video I swatch out all the colors I have, compare them to Sennelier as well as M. Graham watercolors, and do a glazing chart as well. Hopefully the information you gleam from this video will inform you on whether or not these are a good choice of paints for you, especially if you are a beginner and want to get into artist grade watercolors but at a lower cost, or if you like Sennelier paints but find them too expensive. Enjoy the video!

    Just wanted to compliment you on how thorough your comparisons are. With Jackson being such a reasonable price I was so curious about the quality, properties and layering. Also Magenta is one of my staples and I completely agree with your opinion and I would have been so disappointed to try it and see its closer to a quinn violet or a pv19 darker color. Thank you for making this video girl!

    You are so very welcome!! I’m glad you found it informative 😁. They are awesome paints but def look at the color chart and some swatches, the names and even some pigments (like alizarin crimson PR206) are misleading for sure!

    in the UK and Europe we use the BWS (blue wool system) for lightfast tests and in my research of Jacksons watercolour paint they have very good lightfast property's in most of the paints. TFS

    Very nicely done, thanks for the video. I have to say, when you compare tubes with tubes, these are identical. Sennelier tubes are waaaaaay more punchy and intense than their pans. They are basically super intense and vibrant while their pans are extremely mild and mellow.

    Thanks! I have a few tubes and I’ve noticed that. The problem I have with Sennelier tubes is it takes 2/3 of a tube to fill a pan, bc they shrink a lot. 3 out of the 5 tubes I have are gone already because the binder separated very badly. I wonder if it’s a it’s been shipped to the US thing. I dunno. Either way I do love both the paints. And it’s great that Jackson’s are super affordable.

    The senneliers look as though they have been mulled finer which can sometimes reduce the refractive index.I love your glazing chart, I haven't seen one like it and may well try it for myself, having very little patience for the way the charts are usually done. Great to watch someone else doing them but just too long a process.

    I just ordered a couple of the pans to check it out and I am so impressed with them!! I think I might actually order more, but am undecided between the ivory black and neutral tint. Which one do you like better? I am looking for granulation so that I can mix it with other non-granulating colors to get texture.

  • @thehomegrownartist214

    Neutral tint doesn't really granulate, but is a much more dynamic color than just ivory black. Ivory black only has very subtle granulation in most brands. You can mix a granulating black with ultramarine and a warm orange. Or if you want a tube/pan of a granulating black, mission gold has a cobalt black that granulates amazingly. Daniel Smith has manybgranulating darks as well.

I read about what happened to your son, and it really affected me as a stay at home father of a 4 y.o. and a newborn. I really empathize for you.

    I have not tried their pans but I would say it’s almost always more cost effective to buy the tubes, especially if you will pour them in your own pans/palette and let them dry. But if you don’t know if you like them yet, I’d say try the split primary and whatever other colors you enjoy in pans first and then you can buy tubes to refill. It’s all up to if you think you will enjoy them or not.
