That cottman blue-green teal color is amazing. I would buy the set just for that.

I used the paint I got from Marshal for 15$ for 2 years. I used it for so many painting and didn’t know the difference from artist paint. To be honest, watercolor paper is the most important thing that you need to invest. Don’t let the cost of paint intimidate you, start with the cheap paint first and slowly upgrade if you feel you need to

It's great for a beginner, it's cheap, has multiple colors, and has some transparency. My only gripe is that it's slightly chalky, and most colors are more opaque than transparent. I've moved on to using professional grade stuff like dan smith, mijello, and sennelier, but i still would highly recommend sakura koi.

I personally own the Winsor&Newton one. My mom has it too and she uses it for a long time already and it never changed! It is a very good beginner set and its still a very good brand and not too expensive. I am very happy with it and I learn allot of new things from your videos! Thank you Mako!! much love from holland😊

I love the way you explain everything!

uh for the w&n watercolors, you can put a drop of water under the little piece(?) let it dry and it'll stick, for the pan itself, some putty or double sided tape should keep them in place

Daler-Rowney makes a set similar to the Windsor-Newton one. I was very pleased with the results. Lost mine but found another at Walmart for around $12.

Can u try out the Faber Castell watercolour pallette? I recently got it as a present and tried it today and find the colours to be really vibrant! I'm not sure if it's cause I used cold press paper, but the colours didn't seem to blend well after it dries. It just sticks on the paper lol. Would love to see ur take on it pls!

Thank you! Fantastic video. I like the Van Gogh for tinted papers, the Cotman for white.

I love that sonnet watercolor. The shades of brown are awesome.

Great video!! It was surprising to me hearing that Van Gogh looked more chalky in comparison to Koi, my understanding of chalkiness is that it is more like a "feel" or a texture once the paint is dry. For instance, Koi watercolors when more concentrated but still rather thinly it can develop a chalky feel to it. I think I have tried Van Gogh like maybe just once in my life but I remember they felt almost like an artist grade watercolor, yes they are not as transparent but they don't feel or look chalky whatsoever! That's my understanding:) maybe i'm totally wrong since English isn't my first language either but let me know if I'm mistaken! Keep it up with the great content🤩

#makoficationsquad Can u make a video on how to identify the equality of Brushes. Like the bridle hair pulling test and how they lay water and colour, evenly or all at a time. Plz.. do Mako Very Helpful and Informative. Thanks Mako , Love You ❤️❤️❤️ From. Shrija

Thank you for doing this series, Mako. I've already decided which watercolor set I'll get. :)

This video really helps as I am looking forward to buy new watercolour set. You are awesome Mako!!!

amazing! I use a Conem Sonnet set, and I really did have a hard time to blend colors, but I managed to blend them when I used less color and went from lighter to darker. Other than that, thank you for trying these out, these water colors are really expensive in Romania, we don't use Euros, we use our own currency, Lei, and 1 Leu is 4,5 euros, so yeah, it's expensive compared to the salaries.

MistyQueHarper hey I’m Romanian too! Not born there but my parents are.

Recently I got a Sakura Koi set, and It's WONDERFUL the colors are super pigmented and doesn't look anything like the pink-ish red in this video. I saw another videos from other artsy channels and always when they complain about a sakura koi set the label and packaging looks a tiny bit different that my own set. I got the feeling they got a dupe or a fake one...

It is very nice to compare and very easy to buy what I need thanks makoccino 👌

If you think about it, everything you see in the world started with an idea and a sketch! People design products, houses, posters, furniture, other beautiful things that you use daily! It's easy to say that an art degree is useless, because people usually don't realize how much is possible with that! Depending on which direction you choose, you can always do something art related! If someone thinks something is not possible, it's only a reflection of their limitations, not yours!

I really like your videos, but I am a bit disappointed here. You seem to be biased towards WN. I know it's easiest to find in the US and probably the cheapest, but it is clearly way less vibrant and it is the hardest to rewet than the other ones and the Van Gogh is not as opaque as you made it sound. I don't know if you had a bad batch or if they changed the composition, but my set is defiantly more transparent than that apart from a light blue that is not present in your set (and that had white mixed in).

I started with Van Gogh and still love them and find myself picking up these paints when I see them for a good price (as in practice they are very high quality ) even though I use Windsor and Newton professional which are extremely pigmented and transparent.

What a great review! Your video is the best properly evaluated tests I have seen so far. Thank you for posting! I used tape to keep my Cotmans in the box and a few drops of water in the pans to adhere the blocks of paint in it. I read blogs where pros say they use all grades of paint and that most quality watercolors are mounted behind glass. Personally, I've had unframed watercolors I did over 40 years ago that were stuck in a folder. They barely faded at all and looked amazingly well preserved. I used a cheap watercolor to paint those!

I am new to the Water Color Painting world, and this was so, so helpful, because I imagine blending is the name of the game.
