To avoid having binder pour out of tube, I store my tubes upright. That way, the paint collects down by the cap and the excess binder floats up to the top. Sometimes it's enough to just to set the tube upright on the table for a few minutes before squeezing out paint. BTW, How's the little princess doing?

Teoh you have confirmed the myth for all of us!! 👍🏼
I think an addendum/correction should be made after this video. I almost dismissed/rejected Jackson's because of it, but I have reevaluated my opinion since I wrote to Jackson's. Here is what I learned when I asked Jackson's about the binder issue. Some wise people have already figured this out and commented below. "Pigment/binder separation is something that we see across all watercolour brands and it is common with certain pigment more than others. It is due to the weight of the pigment particles and it does not affect the quality of the paint. Instead of pouring out the excess binder at the top, it is best to mix it within the tube with a metal wire to re-integrate the pigment with the binder. "
I haven't bought any Jackson's own brand paints before, but i have bought other items. I have to say Jacksonsare one of the best retailers around, and have extremely helpful staff. Thoroughly recommend buying from them. PS you can get round the binder issue by shaking the tube well. I've had separation problems with W&N Professional, and Daniel Smith before and shaking the tube always does the trick.
That separation problem has actually nothing to do with the pigment/binder ratio in the tube but the way art stores display them, cap sides up. In the tubes stored that way for a long time , binder separates and then elevates up to the mouth and for some certain pigments like cobalts, PR7, PV15 with heavy particules, this is even more common. That's why shaking, stirring with a tooth pick or keeping them on their caps side down for a while usually works to get the binder remixes back to the paint. This happens for most of the paints regardless of the brand, including oils.
I believe the identification on Jackson’s tubes is right, you can check on Handprint.com. PY154 was used on the old Sennelier watercolors the same paints many people say is now rebranded as Jackson's. When Sennelier launched the new line they changed the labeling from PY154 to PY153, what is really strange because, at that time, the pigment PY153 was already discontinued, the reason Daniel Smith changed his New Gamboge formula. However, some brands still use (allegedly) PY153 on their paints, Schmincke and Daler Rowney for example. Personally, I don’t believe Sennelier Yellow Light is made with PY153 because doesn’t make sense to change from one easily available pigment to another one discontinued. The runny paint is a frequent issue with Sennelier tubes, especially on pigments that need more binder, but since I can buy the 21ml really cheap, it is not a major issue to me.
I tried out these as the price point is so good. I didn't get tubes but tried full pans and really struggled with them. I noticed cerulean blue, burnt umber and sap green were slightly chalky and yeah the Alizarin crimson wasn't accurate at all. As these are the base colours I use I couldn't really change to them. One thing though I did really like the yellow and reds.
I’ve had binder separation issues with just about every brand I’ve tried, including Daniel Smith, so it wouldn’t prevent me from getting these. I like my Sennelier paints as well. I might have to try these.
It's not excessive binder, it's separation and you should mix the binder back in. This will happen with many tubes as they get old, and certain pigments like cerulean and cobalt violet are prone to it. I have old tubes from Daniel Smith and M. Graham with the same problem, whereas my newer tubes of Jackson's cerulean are not like that. It's strongly pigmented and actually my favorite cerulean. Note that If you discard the gum like that, you will end up with paint that's underbound towards the end of the tube and the paint could flake off the paper or smudge. I use a toothpick to mix the paint back together, or in worse cases I fold the metal crimping around a loop of string and swing the tube to force the pigment towards the cap, followed by the usual stirring. For very problematic old tubes I may pour the entire mess into pans and transfer between them until it is all uniformly mixed. At least pans will stay as they are, aside from losing some moisture. Anyway, I think it is an excellent paint at a great price, and they have most of my favorite pigments.

I recently set up an 18-color palette of Jackson's Artist Watercolor because I want to experiment with painting large. I brought the pigment labelling issues to their attention and they told me that they are going to redo and correct all of their labels. I'm pretty sure that Quinacridone Gold has PY150 (Nickel Azo Yellow) in it, for example. I also love their Permanent Alizarin Crimson Deep which uses PR206 (called Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet in the Daniel Smith line). It is super transparent and mixes well to create deeper shades of red for shadows.

I have set of Jackson's full pans and several half pans. I have only good things to say about them, though I wish they had a PY150, too. I have no doubt that a review of them would be quite favourable to the brand.
As a beginner I have a large number of JAS tubes and have been very happy with (apart from Cerulean Blue), but I am moving more to Daniel Smith and W&N replacements. I would still recommend JAS paints though as they’re a real improvement on student grade paints.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this review. As a student I have to watch my budget and these colors look like they’re great if you need artist quality paints on a paupers budget.

Agree, but could anyone please tell me how to assess the amount of binder in a tube? Some separation is bound to happen in even the best brands (?). Cheaper brands, like Cotman has dextrine in addition to gum arabic, and Sennelier/Jackson's and others have a speck of honey (hygroscopic) as well. The cheaper brand has less separation than the more expensive ones, but likely not as much pigment.

I have had similar problems of too much gum Arabic in Winsor & Newton's gouache and Blockx watercolour - almost half the tubes were gum - this happens occasionally in oils also.
Hey Teoh, I was wondering, rather than it being Sennelier/Jackson's labellling things wrong, could it be that Jackson's chose the pigment and names and asked Sennelier to manufacture that for them, hence the discrepancy ?

Yes, the paints don't have to be exactly the same to be manufactured by Sennelier. The fact that the printing on the tube is the same is a pretty good indication, since if Jackson's used that mark for another brand of paint they'd be open to litigation. I find it odd that people think private label paints need to be identical. Since Jackson's is selling this at a lower price point, they'll choose the less expensive colors and Sennelier may make substitutions. Also, Sennelier seems to substitute PY154 and PY153 in both brands. Since PY153 is harder to get, it may depend on availability. I would trust the pigment listed on the tube is correct for each batch, rather than what's on the website. Binder separation has very little to do with brand in my experience, more to do with storage conditions and type of pigment.

Love your videos, I’ve only just come across them, thank you. I agree with the previous comments about Sennelier making this paint but it not being the same. The pigments listed are correct on the tubes and correspond to the Jacksons colour chart for their brand paint. Just because a company make something for someone else doesn’t mean it’s the same product packaged differently. I bought Jacksons paint first and was very disappointed with the lack of vibrancy from certain colours, especially the Magenta. I then bought Sennelier after seeing a friend using the Billy Showell flower set. They are gorgeous and some of the colours are called the same as the Jacksons paint but they are definitely not the same. Sennelier use honey, they spread beautifully and I adore using them. I’m thinking about offloading most of my Jacksons paint as I don’t enjoy them. When you compare pigments used, the Jacksons ones tend to use more single pigments in the set I bought, whereas Sennelier tend to have more than one pigment per colour which I guess is not so good for colour mixing, although I haven’t had any problems. I was quite surprised to see they’re made by Sennelier as the paints are so different from each other. You should try Sennelier tune paint, it’s very different from Jacksons.....although some tubes do separate like the Jacksons ones.

If Sennelier make them for Jacksons, it makes sense that they might use cheaper pigments than in the Sennelier branded products.
You should shake your tubes before opening! I just learned that and thought I'd pass it on!
I use Sennelier and have not had the binder problem. They do not crack when I fill the pans due to the honey. Their Aliz Crimson is the same PR206. Their Ultramarine deep is beautiful and a staple on my palette. May be the same situation as Cheap Joes and DaVinci.
I enjoyed the review. I recently bought a 24-half pan set of Jackson's paints. In the empty spaces, I added Sennelier paints. I had the excess binder issue with two Sennelier colors, Turquoise Green and Quin Gold. In fact, I filled a half pan with gum arabic from a new tube of turquoise green.
I love this brand and the sennelier brand. There is an issue with some pigment info between the jacksons website and the tubes, same with sennelier I think they keep switching formulas.

Fantastic review, thankyou. Am doing a Jackson's order and will pick up some primaries in these.
Thanks for the in-depth review. I was considering getting these, but it’s a little disappointing to see the amount of binder separation and inconsistency even at this price point.
Cerulean Blue (PB35) is usually a more expensive pigment and has a tendency due to the weight of the particles, I believe, to separate from the binder in many brands. I was surprised to see the Perm. Magenta separate, though. Have heard that exposing the tubes to lower temperatures may cause separation, but seems unlikely here (!!!) Have had a similar experience with some tubes, but the lower cost on the more expensive paints makes it OK. I am puzzled, though, as the Cerulean Blue is listed as PB28 for both Sennelier and Jackson's. Has it been relisted as PB35 by now?

Any problems with separating I've had have uusually been with Magentas, for some reason. Daler Rowney Artists was bad for this. They kindly sent me a new tube from a different batch and it did the same thing.
I stick a long toothpick into tubes that have gum arabic separation issues and that seems to do the trick getting things back to normal. Once in a while I'll throw in a drop or two of thick honey to make the mixture get back to being a goopy consistentcy.
I shake my new tubes to get the pigment to mix with the binder. I wouldn’t let the gum Arabic drip out, you need that mixed in with the pigment.
Thank you for this public service. I was almost duped by their GORGEOUS looking thumbnail swatches when shopping online, combined with the extremely low prices, but given how low the pigment concentration is IRL, & how little you’re really getting in that 21ml tube when you account for that, I’m probably better off just paying more for a properly pigmented paint.
I bought all the available Jackson's pans from its web site. it's total of 46 (if you count them online). Even though you don't recommend the Cerulean blue, I like its color - a reddish blue (made of PB35) closer to PB36 but on the bright side (instead of gloomy side). I don't like its Permanent Alizarin Crimson either - too muted between Burnt Sienna and Venetian Red. My favorite version of Perm. Aliz. Crimson is Da Vinci - made from PV19. Jackson's Aliz. Crimson is weird too - different from Sennelier's Aliz Crimson Lake of PR83.
Thank you for your work. I ordered some of this paint today I mentioned your youtube review that helped me make my choice Billy from Arizona
I think u are correct. Have senellier paint and they hve the same pigment as you have shown here in Jackson. Specially the alizarin color is exactly same. Now other brand has the that tone of alizarin crimson.
You might try putting the tubes upside down to let the separation reverse its direction. It works most of times. And this routine every some weeks could avoid severe separation in other paints too.
I use them a lot. My opinion is they're not quite as good as Winsor and Newton but they're more than adequate, great value for money.
Now I understand why you said their Cerulean Blue have too much gum arabic... I guess I'll stick with Holbein...
I got my 10mL sennelier tubes for the equivalent of $2.85 AUD each but i had to get the 100 tube set. I haven't tried every colour yet but the Sap green looks really similar to the Jackson's one. I didn't have the binder problem with the ultramarine deep and permanent magenta but i did get it with blue violet and turquoise green in the set i got i haven't used my tube of cerulean yet though.

Some of these new flashy granulation pigments also get tricky when mixed or mix across a paint box. Feels like I am heading back to the traditional tried and tested range which I thought had been superseded by the newer offerings - save for the less reliable ones; alizarin crimson and prussian blue etc. All fun.
I've looked at extensive reviews on Jackson's paints before buying them. I think they are an example of different name but same paint quality as big brand name? If anybody had doubts these paints are made in the same factory as sennelier, this tube is a dead giveaway (and it becomes some sort of collector's item, lol!) Now onto the paints: from personal experience all the few tubes of Jackson's paint I have ordered had no binder separation, but they were all 10ml. The only 21ml tube I got from them had the same issue as yours: cerulean blue. It's funny because in the first squeeze in a pan I didn't face this problem, but when I tried to fill another pan the binder separation happened. I guess it's a problem of their paint recipe for this specific pigment? And upon looking other reviews, their perm. alizarin crimson really is an odd shade, more of a maroon red than the usual deep, pinkish red. A very unusual pan color I also got from them is cadmium red violet... Or something like that? It's a really gorgeous red, with a slight brown undertone, very granulating and the closest thing to the color of blood.
My Sennelier Cerulian blue and Magenta tubes have the same gum arabic separation issue as Jacksons, so it must be true they are manufactured by Sennelier
I have a number of these paints and have decided that they have some great yellows and reds, okay to good blues and pretty poor earth tones.

Smaller sized pigment needs more milling or special manufacture process. That means more cost in general. The ceramic pigment cobalt blue is way cheaper than the ones for paints or inks. PV19 comes in different sizes and purposes from plastic stainning to inks making, which varies in price, too. Holiday ultramarine is one of the most pricy ones(relatively because ultramarine is very cheap comparing to the others), which is safe enough for make up product and food containers while some other cheap ultramarine could be only used for plastic coloring. And pigment from certain manufacturors are much cheaper, the quality not so good generally but not always.

Thanks Teoh, I purchased their 10 tubes x 21ml, their color is great. Cerulean Blue is the only that has binder and paint seperation. Once you open the tube you will notice the watery/bubbly liquid.

I hope they will continue producing watercolor paint.....and keep on improving the mixing ratio or procedure to combine the gum arabic and paint.
Thanks Teoh for sharing this review, my experience with Jacksons Watercolor Paint ---- is not good most of the paints has a defective misture of binder and pigment. However, the customer service is great.
You can mix up the colors in the tube with a long wire.. then the gum Arabic would be incorporated Thanks, Eileen
I always wonder when I hear that a more expensive brand also makes their product for another cheaper brand. I would be curious to know if Sennelier makes the watercolor for Jackson's with the same exact formulas as they do their own? I tend to think there may be some short cuts & cheaper ingredients in the "private label.". Still, you showed us the label underneath on the Jackson's.

Billy Showel uses them exclusively these days, it seems. HOW an artist works with their paints may determine which brands they use. i.e. many botanical watercolorists seem to use W&N or Sennelier.

The problem is, Handprint is out of date - paints are reformulated and updated by all manufacturers so tests need to be re-done. I like Sennelier, they are built for light layering which brings out a luminosity seldom seen in other brands, hence why a lot of professional botanical artists use them. There’s no definite confirmation Jackson’s paints are Sennelier and some pigments differ anyway. Even so, if Sennelier do make them, the formulation could be different too, more binder used for example, as they are cheaper than Sennelier.

They will crack or shrink when dry. It's best to fill one third, have it crack and shrink, the squeeze to fill the cracks and gaps, repeat. They rewet fine.

Do more expensive brands crack as well? I only see it in my less expensive ones but I don’t have a lot to compare.

Jackson's Cobalt Blue pours out of the tube as thin as water. I informed Jackson's, sent photos too. Their reply: " Too bad."

Cobalt is a heavy pigment and will separate from the binder easily. You can pour out the paint into pans and mix with toothpick. This is make the paint more usable then have them separate inside the tube
Does anyone else have the same experience with these paints? Or any experience they want to share for that matter? Because ya girl just ordered a TON of these and now I'm sweating

king0baka, don't sweat, I think you will find them very nice paints to use. Obviously you wil like some colours better than others depending upon how you use them in. your work, but I don't think you will be disappointed.

The quality is good, just that for some colours they are going to be used up fast. And stir the paint with a needle/stick/paper clip for those problematic ones.
I have used these extensively with a selection of a 16 paint palette mainly single pigment They are bold brash opaque colors lacking the subtlety and transparency of W/N Many tubes have up to 1/4 arabic gum separation They are fun paints for the price, good for direct bold painting such as urban sketching but nothing more But do not layer with them They do not offer the real pleasure of watercolor painting

very strange as Sennelier is famous for their layering properties....

Neeman Callender .Odd I have used an eight colour palette of these, all single pigment except a slightly weak sap green, none of them are remotely opaque, and they all take a considerable amount of layering. I have not had the separation issues that Teoh shows, maybe because we live in very different climates. I have added some sennelier colours to this selection and they are very comparable and dry in pans to a very similar consistency, slightly sticky. An exception is quin purple that remains fairly sticky always. I have regular Alazarin Crimson which I do not use in permanent work, its such a shame it is fugitive because it is such a beautiful colour, of course it is fine for work for reproduction

If you're the type of person who likes weak paints like W&N, then it's not surprising that you didn't like these more vibrant paints.
Watercolor painting is the hardest type of art

I think it’s one of the easiest because I started out with it, but it def. isn’t beginner/budget friendly at times
Ohh I was thinking of trying them, but all that gum Arabic dripping out is putting me off. Thanks Teo!

You can just remove the gum arabic. In terms of value for money, you still get a lot of paint with these.

maybe u should use more better brushes to swatch out instaed of these cheap one like da vinci casaneo or similar ,it will be more fun to watch ,just suggesting by the way, i love your videos ;)
Correct review. I have purchased Jacksons watercolor paint in tube, I can say that the the quality of the paint is not even worth to try, because it has a lot of binder - out of 12 colors 8 of them are not usable. Especially Cerulean and Quinacridon Gold
So... Jacksons = Senelier + gum arabic.
