    That was the most thorough and excellent review I've ever seen. The roosters were very happy as well.

    Hey! If you are interested in just the pastels I wanted to recommend to you the pastel set by White Nights. It’s maybe a bit more expensive but not much but the quality is a bit better. They’re the same semi moist type of watercolor in full size wide pans, and the colors are AWESOME. They’re gorgeous! Also Kuretake Gansai Tambi new art nouveau set has a lot of beautiful pastel colors that expand on the spring color classic pastel ones I got from White Nights, and they’re also the wide pan semi moist ones. For a more high quality tube set, Holbein sells a 12 tube pastel set that are lovelyyyy and affordable. I bought this meiliang set but I didn’t need it- I just wanted a travel set with pastels and a metallic gold and it was super cheap in a pretty tin. If you haven’t found a set yet I hope you look into the white nights ones and hope you find some pastel ones you love! ❤️

    Great review, as always. These are on sale rn on Amazon (prime day), so I may grab them to test them. One thing tho: did you also test the Meeden watercolors in tubes? I don't remember having seen a review for those on your channel. If you didn't yet, maybe you could do a review for them? That'd be awesome.

    oh thank. i saw the name organic Vermilion and was worried for a sec, O_O the actual vermilion pigment is very Toxic. but the Pigment they use in this set for it is just a standard red pigment. it looks like a decent set. but not something i would buy myself. but it does seem like a set one could recommend someone new to watercolors. interesting one color has PB17 in it. that pigment is Discontinued. so it's hard to find.

    Nothing to worry as the vermilion in this set uses PR4. Genuine vermilion is PR106. I agree, this set is better to be recommended to beginners or to those who will use this in sketchbooks..as many colors are not very lightfast. 😊

  • @AllanJayQuesada

    @AllanJayQuesada

    Ай бұрын

    Sorry for mynlate reply, but if it still relevant.. my answer is.. it depends on what you work on. If you'll use it for crafty works and dont mind thick paint texture, then go for Kuretake. If you like vibrant paints and do not care about lightfastness, go for mungyo. Meiliang is your choice if you want affordable paints that are decent for its price. If you want lasting paintings, probably go for professional grades and select just few colors say 8 to 10 and select well the pigments that are lightfast and basic.
