Thank you for sharing all the very interesting information. Your paintings are gorgeous. I was wondering if you know what the difference is between the ShinHan watercolors and the ShinHan Professional Korean Color. I can't find anywhere what time of paint they are.
@andersonstudio36102 жыл бұрын
There are a few different Shinhan series. In Korea, the best quality is called Artists Watercolor, but it's marketed as PWC outside Korea. It uses the highest quality of pigments and comparable to Winsor Newton Artists series or other top brands. Then there is "Professional" series which is low grade (student quality) with less pigment. Also, Shinhan makes a Korean traditional paint which I suppose you are referring to. It is more opaque and used for different techniques in painting.

Yes I would say the Holbein Artists series is comparable. I can't vouch for all the colors but as far as basic colors like your Ultramarine Blue and Cad Yellow and such they are more or less interchangeable. I use them as well sometimes since I live in Korea and Japanese products are readily available here, but they are slightly more expensive.

I already have holbein artist watercolor set and love them but still would love to try other brands as well.. since holbein is kinda similar to swc, if you were me would you try shinhan or schmincke horadam?

Are Shinhan paints eco friendly and non-toxic?
@andersonstudio36102 жыл бұрын
Shinhan uses cadmium in several colors. Cadmium is not eco-friendly. You can substitute Permanent Red for Cad Red for example. They are close but not really the same color.

is it really like that? people who don't need the tip to be sharp or don't want to spend the money, are happy with synthetic brushes? that sounds generalized on both ends. I am a beginner. only started 7 month ago. and in the beginnin, I started with the simple synthetic brushes, because somebody said, for a beginner, that is enough to try out, if watercolour is your thing or not. and that was true for I guess maybe 2 days. I had desided to continue and that I like how nice it is to work watercolour. then the very next step to try some techniques or motives - so frustrated. looking back, it probably was the paper, that did't seem to be right. I mean, who wants to do only small exercises or post card dimensions all the time. one does want to do washes, wet into wet and what not. the first aha and feeling of having discovered a key was, when I (rather by accident) got a mix blend brush. I learned, that this was a sort of a mob brush, but with the synthetic parts it had a bit of a snap. it was't even that expensice for it's sice (not sure, if 17,50 Eur can be consideted a good price for a sice 12 mix-blend of squirrel and synthetic?). after that, I discovered, that there are not only blends, that work great. there are also synthetic brushe, that maybe best be called, faux-hair. Da Vinci has these great cassaneo series, that are really great replacements for sable brushes. in fact, they had been developed to slowly move away from real sable. (I guess they want to develop more cruelfree options over time. other than goat, nobody eats sable - you know). and I as beginner, was trying and trying to get better results with my cheap, standard (and probably too stiff) synthetic brush. and till I received that one mix-blend brush and right after that the middle sice cassaneo, I had bought in total about 8 brushes. and half of them I didn't like. some I gave away. one was so bad, I through it away. I am sure, because I didn't know, what qualifies a good brush for which technique or paper... just differentiatin natural hair and synthethik that way, is not very helpful. I am just telling all that, because I saw a lot of videos about watercolour to figure out, what is going on. maybe more informative videos by artits like you, can help others. by the way. I had paused at min 17 to wright this. I will continue watching, I am sure, it will be very informative

The main reason synthetics are recommended to beginners is due to the high cost of art materials. Like if you started to learn to play the guitar, you don't go out and buy an expensive one until you know you are going to stick with it for years. When I have a new student, I suggest they spend most of their budget on good quality 100% cotton paper. As you mentioned, you thought the paper was an issue with your painting problems. I agree, and that is the most likely reason new students struggle as they're using cheap paper. ... then 2 decent brushes and student grade watercolor paint. As far as having preference for synthetic or natural hair brushes, artists are all over the place. One person that has quite a large channel (The Mind of Watercolor) loves the Silver Black synthetics and I can recall several others who really like the DaVinci one you mentioned. Nowadays, there are very high quality imitation natural hair brushes and many artists are indeed satisfied with their performance. Still, 9/10 natural hair brushes(sable) will out perform any synthetic as far as how much water and paint they hold. It really comes down to what type of painting you do and what you require . Also, there are so many varying degrees of brushes, you need to find one that you like personally. For example the flat brush I showed in the video the Winsor& Newton Ox hair 3/4 inch flat is not an expensive brush, but it has been a favorite over the years. Anyway, you are the best judge for what you need or like.

@@andersonstudio3610 I know, I have to judge best. it's just, as a beginner, I didn't know, that there are different types of synthetic brushes and what exactly makes the difference, depending on what technique. that I didn't understand. a lot of people go for synthetics - no matter which quality - because it is a cruelfree option. that also plays a role. I just wanted to make the point, that I was frustratingly trying to copy something. I guess, flower motiv. and I didn't understand, why it looked so easy and soft, and mine didnt. and I was painting rather on a small scale. double sice of a postcard. till I got myself a very cheap and small (no 1?) petit gris from a rather cheap brand. a squirrel brush. than I understood, what a soft brush can do. different to those stiff ones, where I thouht, that would be good enough to learn. but it really was only good enough for two days (two evenings). and it was the brush, that came with the small starter set of Winsor and Newton. I guess, it is save to recommend to a beginner, to get two types of round brushes. otherwise one doesn't understand the difference. that was the point I was making. it still remains hard to decide, what not to buy. but to experience yourself, how different brushes can work, makes a difference.

Nice Video ;-). I pay a lot of attention to the surface of a paper because I don't like this grid structure that many papers have. I like torchon the most, so it looks like the structure of a fine grain paper has been enlarged and flattened. Matt, I also like its like a finer version of torchon. Unfortunately, torchon paper are very rare. I really like the Clairfontaine Fontaine in Cloudy, which is unfortunately very expensive and that's why I often use the cheaper Etival paper which unfortunately does not have a Cloudy / Torchon surface and the surface of the other types is also different to the surface of the Fontaine papers. I did not notice any really different behavior when painting, only the difference from the surfaces. What bothers me with some papers is that the color is lumpy on it as if the paper was broken from the paint application and when dry, these small clumps of color dissolve, and it is even. It annoys me while painting, because I often use different paper, and it can be that I use a paper where that happens on it, again after a month and have forgotten this behavior in the meantime. This happens on rather thick, softer papers, where some watercolor paint is soaked in and dries more slowly. I should see if it also occurs with other papers, I had it yesterday at the Fabriano Artistico in 300g fine grain. I added my own self-made watercolors to an old color chart and that's when I noticed it.
