Schmincke new colors
🕑 Added 2017-08-22 13:34:31 +0000 UTC I think all watercolor artists on YouTube already tested the 35 new, 2017 Schmincke colors, but I was not able to get the dot card in Japan. The Schmincke company was good enough to send me the card straight from the Schmincke-country. So I was finally able to see and play with the new colors.I like most of the new colors, especially the quinacridone additions! (Magenta and purple are great!) I also like the granulating colors (there are 10 of them!) for example Mahogany brown and Potters Pink.
The only color that I’m not happy about is the new Transparent Green Gold (537). I compared it with the old Green Yellow (536) that I still have in my palette and it’s less intensive. I use this color for bright, saturated highlights so it’s a little bit of a letdown.
I bought two colors for my main Schmincke platte: Quinacridone Gold hue and Perylene Green - I will have to wait for them up to 4 weeks though ><

Thanks for the link Mateusz. I'd be indeed very interested to read or hear/view a more detailed comparison of the japanese nihonga watercolors with the occidental ones.
It's not the same set but maybe it will tell you a little about the qualities of the paints. (they work a little bit different than regular watercolors.)
I used the Kuretake watercolors 12 colors palette in this video: <a href="https://youtu.be/2aa-Loz1nYQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/2aa-Loz1nYQ</a>
Did you had the opportunity to test the Kuretake Watercolors which come in small rectangular porcelain containers ? If yes, what do you think of them ?
