  5:28 Is this possibly due to discoloration over time? I would say, however, I had a similar experience recently with their Blue Apatite Genuine.

  @@jerseyjoe1677 they do, but it's a fugitive pigment and and they shouldn't, because it's not suitable for professional artwork you intend to sell. Van Gogh used it to paint red roses many years ago, now they are entirely white, and most people don't even realize they aren't supposed to be. Alizarin crimson genuine will fade rapidly when exposed to light, and I mean, you'll see it start to change within just a few weeks; fully gone within a few months in light-fast testing.

I highly recommend the permanent version for sure 😊 but watch out for Daniel Smith's version, the pigment they use is NOT really permanent and fades rapidly in tints over 50% in dilution.

  I know this is an old video but I'm planning on saving up for these pencils eventually, they're next on my list along with some more Luminance and some back up Holbein pencils since I've been buying those open stock, but I really want the full set of these after only buying 3 of them. I think they're so beautiful and work so well with Luminance, Pablo, Holbein and Polychromos pencils. I have yet to try them with anything else yet, but I imagine waxier pencils like Prismacolor and Coloursoft or Chromaflow might not work quite as well as they don't work the best with my Artists pencils from Derwent, but maybe not since some people use them with the Drawing pencils which are waxier. Like I said, I haven't tried them with those yet, but I should since I do have some of those (other than Chromaflow). Anyways, I really want the box because it's so gorgeous and I keep all of my pencils in their tins/boxes so I thought I should actually treat myself and get the wooden box since I've never had one before and all of my Derwent tins show up to me super dented and unable to close no matter where I buy them from 😒. I'm only a colorist, I don't really do art much anymore, unfortunately, so I've been trying to convince myself I don't need these but I think I do, I just really love how they work with other sets I own and love and I think they round out some of them nicely too, like they have some colors I've always thought the Polychromos set was lacking, for instance. I liked hearing your initial opinions and seeing the pencils. Thanks!

  I use all 3 or rather I don't like the Luminance it's so hard to get a reasonble solid color layer with them I rarely use them. I do love their colors , but here's where it ends for me.. I tested the polychromo's for almost 4 months and they all passed the test beside a pink color which faded a lot. I love Holbein the most, love, LOVE their colors and the way they draw. Derwent Lightfast is ok and have more natural colors then the Polychromo's The Polychromo's come in 2nd, some colors are scratchy but love their vibrancy but maybe sometimes too vibrant that it's somewhat unnatural. they work well with the work I'm producing!

  Hi Nichole. I just did the exact same test with my French Ultramarines. I was wondering if your DS French Ultramarine was mislabeled at the factory and it's their regular Ultramarine. Because mine is very saturated and leans more violet than my Winser and Newton French Ultramarine. And my W&N is my all time favorite in French Ultramarine because once its dried, it just appears brighter, cleaner and less dull. You know how that dull appearance happens when some pigments totally dry? A reason why I adore Cobalt Blue. I love my MGraham Ultramarine too because it doesn't lose as much of it's vibrancy either and sometimes you just need a more non granulating Ultramarine. I don't like granular flower petals or on baby's skin. I painted realistic infant portraits for several years. Now retired from that. PS, my Holbein French Ultramarine is the most violet and most granulating of all. My Schmincke French Ultramarine runner up. Still the most vibrant to me after all is dried is my W&N. Sooo beautiful !

  When you paint on hot press you have to adapt your painting style, including how much water and paint you use. Cold press methods don't work very well on hot press, which is likely why you had trouble - a lot of the work that cold press kind of does for you is a more manual job on hot press. Most complaints I've seen about hot press come from people using cold press methods on it, which means you often get work you're unhappy with as you feel the paper was 'bad'.

  Hi, i just started watercolour painting for about a year. I use Winsor and Newton Cotman when i first started, then i switched to Daniel Smith (which i love). I paint florals and after watching your vidoes on Mijello watercolours, i plan to buy them. I did some price comparison and found Mijello very affordable, compared to Daniel Smith. Do these Mijello pure pigment colours work well with florals? Thank you.

• 
  @nicolemartinart58193 ай бұрын

  Hi there 👋 Excellent question. Yes I think they would be great for floral paintings but I do advise that you practice with them first before jumping right in on a full painting. Only because these watercolors are extremely pigmented, more so than Daniel Smith, and they have very vibrant colors. If you like to work in more pastel tones and light florals, you may find it a bit challenging to control the pigment load at first. Just remember to use a light touch and they will last you practically forever. Good luck 😊

  I haven't had any wax bloom issues with what few Lightfast pencils I have, but I use mine with my Lumis since I have more of those and find the range of values the Lumis to be a bit better than the Lightfast. Either set seems to compliment each other well. I have also used them with my Polychromos pencils too without any issue since Polys are a lot brighter than the Lightfast pencils. Wax bloom is a weird topic for me because it really bothers some people but I find it doesn't particularly bother me. It can always be removed with a layer of blender pencil or a wipe from a tissue. Perhaps this isn't such an issue to me because I've been more of a colorist than an artist the last few years. I think it's probably because of that, but even when I was an artist I don't remember it bothering me. Either way, nice review, I like that you were honest about everything you had issues with here because a lot of artists just like something and will just rave about it instead of properly listing the cons
