Lindsey sometimes I just turn your videos on bc your positive happy voice makes me feel better. I just listen and walk away and dont watch sometimes.

I've watched this video about 4-5 since you published it just over a year ago because since before you did this review I've been wanting these. I finally decided, after what seem like forever, to get them when saw the price drop to $33 on Amazon just a few weeks ago and right when I was about to get them it when up to about $50-52. So I patiently waited and watched it and they just dropped to $29.96 a couple of days ago so I ordered them and now I'm about to watch this again because I'm about to swatch them and because I love your videos and reviews! Also, for anyone else that is still on the fence about them, they are right now even cheaper at $28.79 on Amazon!!

I bought the 12 color set at a local art shop in town for $24, I thought it was an OK deal.

OMG what a fantastically straightforward and in-depth review of student grade watercolor sets!! 😍. I can’t even begin to tell you how overwhelmed I’ve been as a newbie trying to figure out which paints to buy and all the other supplies, such as a palette to go with it. This video fairly compares a lot of the brands I was considering and the rating you gave at the end helped validate what I was thinking. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! 💕🌷✨ For any other newbies out there, I started off with a Phoenix brand on Amazon which is vibrant and creamy but didn’t seem to be able to do a lot of the wash or layering techniques that are shown on KZread videos… super frustrating. I’d also bought two small sets of 12 (Prima vintage & Paul Rubens glitter/metallic) that I love and I wanted to be able to somehow add the pans to a larger palette, to avoid having three different cases to carry around. I’m 7 months pregnant so simplicity and lightweight is key for me right now lol. Went with the Mijello 18 well plastic water tight palette, which I can ingeniously put the Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle 24 Half Pan set paints into, along with my other two sets via magnetic tape (check out the reviews on Amazon for the palette and you’ll see how this can be done!). And Voila! A nicely sized case that’s not too big, which allows for a lot of full pan sizes along with adding my 24 half pans of additional colors, and two huge mixing areas still left over! Whew so glad that the process of endless research has ended lol 😅

I agree with Leeanne. Lindsey, you have such a wonderful positive, helpful, and happy attitude towards most things in your videos, which puts me in a great mood. Anyway, thanks for this review - just what I needed.

I think Sennelier absolutely make the best student grade watercolors in pans. I find the W&N Cotmans TUBE paints really pigmented, however, their 1/2 pan paints I find really weak in pigment.

Just got really tired of messing with cheapo watercolors and ordered the Sennelier Student set! Love your style Lindsay! You inspire us all!

sometimes looking back at older videos helps us get perspective on paint options. Thanks Lindsay! Your a real Gem for everyone of your viewers!

I'm laughing bc I've had this set for a few months and I totally didn't know the mixing tray came out until I saw your video! :) SO much easier to clean that way. Ty for the review!

Omg! Me too! Never knew the mixing tray came out😂

The Sennelier umber colors are made with natural pigments (PBR7), instead of synthetic oxides, so there is some variation between batches. I only use the artist line and there is a difference between raw umber from tubes and pans, the tube paint is more yellowish and the pan is more grayish as I think raw umber should look, though I use both for different effects.

Hi Lindsay! I a have a set of Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle and I enjoy using them a lot. Granted, I'm not a professional artist by any means, but these are really nice paints. One thing to note too, you are correct, the plastic tray that contain the paints can be popped out as well so if you want to make an entirely new travel set with separate pans in there, I'm sure it can be done.

Thank you for the review , the comparison btwn artist and student was very helpful 👍

I’ve had the La Petite for a year and I didn’t realize till I saw you pull it out that the mixing area tray pulled out. And you’re totally right about how all Sennelier paints can be glazed and glazed and glazed without losing any luminosity. Thank you!

Yay! The review/comparison I was waiting for! Thank you so much, Lindsay! I've got their 12-color student grade set and I love it! I was just very curious to see how they compare to the artist grade. I agree with you: the cobalt blue hue is the weakest of the 12, I would have preferred a prussian blue instead.

I just got the Sennilier after seeing your review and I Love them. They are great for my portait as I can render very good skin tones by layering. Thanks for this info but I already like the high priced spread!

The Van Gogh line of Royal Talens are also high quality. I agree about Lukas, great value. The Sennelier are definitely more washy and transparent--the style of French watercolor is often line and wash so they don't favor the opaque, saturated color in my experience. I'd be very comfortable recommending the Petite Aquarelle to students.

Thanks for the great review! Just ordered the set from Jerry's, plus ordered the artist's set of 12 10ml tubes that come with the metal palette which makes them really affordable! Paula in Florida

Hi Lindsay..........As soon as I saw this today I was absolutely convinced that you were right. My colors are nowhere near as clean as yours. I should try the replacement set and see what I get.

I just swatched out my Sennelier today and I love how they layer- I always overwork my paintings too- so I was so happy to hear of a paint that is basically perfect for that! I did see the browns are very weak- but with some layering they are good- they have a glow about them that I like, I cant explain it, I do like them a lot- and the price cannot be beat. I almost worry that it might go up- 27 bucks for 24 colors?? and i LOVE the case!! they are set apart from all the student paint sets I own. Mine already have divets in them as well- they are soft- I guess that would be one complaint, and the browns- 2. The browns tho can be darker when layered- so I guess I have to take that one back- All in all I am thrilled with them

I just spent far too much money on watercolors at a local art store, so I ordered this set to have since it has more colors, and I will have tubes to "add" later. Thank you for the review, as I was looking for a good sale to take advantage of!

My art instructor asked me if I could only paint with the La Petite paints would I continue to paint and I said no. Wow! There is such a difference between the two.

Hi there. I've been enjoying all your watercolor videos lately. Even rewatching a few. I've been on the fence between getting the La Petite set or White Nights. They're both between $30-$40 right now on amazon (24 set). I was just wondering what your opinion on these 2 were. What's your take on what each set is good for? Like, Sennelier is good for floral - or so I've heard being mentioned plenty before. There aren't many videos on the La Petite set (or speedpaints). So I've been perplexed about how each perform during a painting. I wish I could just get both at once. Lol.

Usage wise and looks wise they are so very similar! Sennelier obviously wants to put their best foot forward with the LaPetite Aquarelle because they are really high quality and I think it is smart because if student like them once they upgrade they will pick selennier. They don't offer as many colors in this range but the colors they do have are fabulous. I recommend getting the 24 pan set if you can find it at a nice price. I am happy with my purchase:)

So, like 3-4 questions: Now that you’ve gotten to try Shinhan paints where would you place shinhan pro vs sennelier la petite? Someone told me the Shinhan pro is similar to mission silver class? But that it’s better than the Cotman, so vs Sennelier la petit? (I’m on a budget and I am looking into getting pro paint vs student lines, but like going with the cheaper professional stuff.) Also! You did a huge video on all your paints which I watched like 4x last night because I am kinda really looking for one of the better quality student or just gunna go straight to a pro line, but maybe start small. (I read that if I practice often maybe going for a pro one would be better, but I’m still learning water color.) 2. I noticed you said you didn’t really touch your Hydrus in the video! One of my favorite KZread artists has used Dr. Martin’s Concentrated water colors, I’m used to using their black ink and went to colored inks and have been really looking into buying the concentrated and then they changed the formula to radiant watercolors. .I was wondering if you had a video going over the Hydrus or even the Radiant Concentrated Water Color by dr. Ph. Martins? (I’ve noticed people keep saying hydrus or liquid water colors are hybrids, but idk what they mean by that yet. .) - That being said, I have liked ink more than water color and figured they’re less lightfast which is why I like them, but I’m going to be trying my hand at semi photo realistic mixed media art and I’m trying to get all of my supplies together so I can really try my hand at that kind of art. I’ve been wanting to do it for years and would love to see what an ex-art director would say. I’d ask my past instructors, but they’re not responding to me. :/

As for pro paint I read up on the comments for Shinhan PWC and SWC, then looked up the prices for those. I also looked into the prices for Mission Gold, Qor, Winsor Newton, Sennelier pro paint sets, and researched blick, Jerry Artarama, Amazon, and Ebay trying to compare prices. I think by far the cheapest prices for pro paints among those websites is on amazon and are the Shinhan PWC 24 ($90.54,) Mission Gold Class Water Color Palette 36 ($71 Amazon,) and Qor ($72.03.) (I also found empty water color cases 30-48 pan for like $13-18 Amazon.) I’ve been like bouncing on whether or not to go for the Dr. PH Martin’s Concentrated Water Color ($68 @Ebay free shipping) or go for a student line then pro line first. . . Not sure what would be best to start off with for the art style I really want to practice. Emm, the semi photo realistic mixed media art I like has a lot of florals, and animals. And the artists I like do both anime/manga styles as well as semi photo realistic/slight surreal/abstract. I have like a large mixed media canson 98 lb. paper and a bunch of mixed media sketchbooks that will probably handle my practice, I will be buying arches water color pads since they’re so cheap on Amazon rn. (Amaaaazing - I never find them at $18 T.T) . . Idk if this extra info would help, just saying semi photo real mixed media probably puts into perspective a certain degree of layering. .Just putting all of my thoughts out there.

earlier in the summer I bought the senniler 12+6 at jerrys and after your review I do feel less bad about buying (though I would have liked that olive green in the La Petit..) I was wondering, in your artist set, do you have trouble mixing oranges? there's a lot of reds but I feel like they all lean towards blue/purple, so when I mix them with the yellows the results are peachy. It's a bit frustrating because I like to mix my oranges and also work with less colors (like 5 or 6 max). Any advice/luck?

Thanks so much for the tip! The bright yellow is Napels Yellow Deep in my palette actually. I've tried this a couple times and am ending up with an earthy orange (not vibrant, but an interesting color..).

I really don't know why Sennelier takes such an "expensive" wrap. Daniel Smith is a bit over twice per ml open stock at around $1.40 but Sennelier (artist quality) at 64 cents is only about 5 cents more per ml open stock than M. Graham. I have and like both but MG can't touch Sennelier's luminosity. In my view with the exception of a few pigments, its Daniel Smith that's too pricey for what you get. I guess its just popular reputation built over time with word of mouth... should be checked out first before the cash outlay. I do agree that artist's against student, Sennelier's come closer than at least the other two brands I'm familier with.. Grumbacher and W&N.

Koi is more opaque and you are better using more colors than mixing a lot with koi, it is not a bad set but I think most of the colors there are mixes already and have opaque filler so yes the sennelier is a better set and more transparent. they are quite different, you might find you like one set for some subject and the other for different things.

kira gladden no problem! i have had this palette for a long time and when my pan is empty instead of buying new pans i just fill it with my watercolor paint tubes wait a few days for it to dry and its a pan again!

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich thx!

Thanks again

They look similar to the Winsor and Newton.

Amazing

How do these stand up to Arteza?

I prefer these. Although I like most of the Arteza products their watercolors are not my favorite.

Excellent review, as always :) Wondering who makes the brush you are using?

Dear Lindsay, Think about a P.O. BOX someday. .. your subscribers love you and would like to send you gifts of gratitude for all you do for us! Love, Tiffany 😀

Bought it!

These are honey based watercolors: here is a short video into how they make the watercolros: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZh7vKetipPfpbw.html

thank you for this review. love to see the comparison before buying. just in case : there is an 'e' at petite, as aquarelle is a feminine word in french, you don't pronounce the final T without it ;-) TFS and have a nice day.

oops!Thanks, I fixed my title:)

Honestly, I think the student grade sucks and the artist professional grade a huge improvement.

Love your tutorials. Is there a possibility that you can do a tutorial using watercolour mixed with gold leaf. Anna

Oh dear that a quick reaction . I mean the leafs or the flakes.💐. Bye the way very nice that you give the pigment numbers. Love from Sweden

The main problem is that there's not Petite Aquarelle replacement pans for sale. Yet....

I wonder if by the time they use up a student pan they might buy a tube of the artist line to refil it since they use the same color numbers. It would not be so costly to upgrade one color at a time, maybe? Or maybe they will come out with individual student paints if these sell well.

There's something about the student grade paints that I find borderline ugly. It really put me off trying the artist grade.
