Schmincke Horadam New Watercolor Paints: Review and Demo (Dot Cards)

Snapchat: LironYan3

Hi friends!

In today's video I take a look at the dot cards that Schmincke sent me.

As I mentioned, I can wait to review and demo the tubes, but before that I need to get the half-pans I ordered so that I have room for them in my new palette (:

Time Stamps:
00:17 - Intro
00:45 - 12 Dots Card
10:53 - 35 Dots Card (new colors)
20:42 - Conclusion

List of paints in the first dot card (and their Schmincke brochure number):
1. Lemon Yellow (215)
2. Cadmium Yellow Light (224)
3. Cadmium Red Light (349)
4. Permanent Carmine (353)
5. Ultramarine Finest (494)
6. Prussian Blue (492)
7. Phthalo Green (519)
8. Permanent Green Olive (534)
9. Yellow Ochre (655)
10. English Venetian Red (649)
11. Sepia Brown (663)
12. Ivory Black (780)

The first dot card I look at contains 12 watercolor paints which are relatively standard and common.

The second dot card contains new 35 watercolor paints by Schmincke, and I found it FASCINATING.

I really loved the paints there, and will probably get some tubes of those same paints.

I hope you enjoy this review and demo, thank you for watching ^_^

And I'll see you again soon.

I LOVE my Schmincke paints. I was fortunate to buy a collection when I first started painting from an art student who had graduated.

Thanks Liron, for the review. You are converting me into a pigment junkie! I wanted to keep my palette with no more than 15... well 20 colors but you made my mouth water that much as to order from Schmincke some dot cards and check by myself.

Gorgeous transparency! That is what I am buying ShinHan for! I am seeking a transparent ochre for skintones. Shmenke hit it! ShinHan has one in my new set, but I think t might be a little light. we will see!

Always fun watching your videos and hearing your thoughts. I challenge you to mix the brilliant opera rose with a few of your go to colors, especially the earth tones. It is amazing for mixes. I rarely use it in its pure form, but think it's a great addition to any palette.

Before you put the Ivory Black down next to the sepia color, I thought the sepia looked like dark grey; but, next to the black, it does kind of look like sepia. But, I think I like Daniel Smith's version better.

When I first started using Daniel Smith's watercolors, I had ordered one its dot cards. The card had over 200 different colors on it. I've never used Schminke paints. It's hard to tell in the video; but, do you think that these are as concentrated as the Daniel Smith watercolors?

Liron thanks so much for this video. many of the colors you demonstrated are colors that I've wondered about, . Love all your videos. Very Helpful.

[PoodleParti]

I raised my hand for you to try the color so I'm sure everyone else did too.

[Winstonsmom]

Do you happen to know the brand of watercolour paper they use for these cards? It really shows off the supergranulating colours better than Winsor and Newton rough. I’d like to get some. Thanks !

Thanks to your video about being proactive, I decided to write to schmincke too. I don't have a YouTube channel and I was only hoping to get the brochure (because it looks so useful) and information on where to get the dot cards because they're not sold here, but they even sent these dot cards too! So thank you and thanks schminke! :D

I've recently fallen in love with perylene colours, have to say Schmincke's perylene green looks fantastic. I think the phthalo green you got there is the yellow shade, it's one of those colours I can't really like much, haha... Thank you for doing the swatches, very nice to hear your opinions on these.

Oh, and I don't know how the empty pans on Amazon are priced, but Kremer Pigments(kremer-pigmente.com) have them. I used to get them from a Chinese eBay seller, but found Kremer supply them even cheaper! If their postage is alright, it might be a better deal for you ;)

Love watching paint swatches! The phthalo sapphire blue and perylene green are my favorite. I actually ordered them as fast as I could because they went out of stock at jacksons but thankfully quickly restocked. Did you tell schmincke that you have a YouTube channel and wanted paints to review?

[Ruby-wise]

Great vid, Liron...thanks---I love these paints!

[renmuffett]

I used Schmincke and love it. Mix your Phthalo green here with some of the new Quinacridone Gold and you will have the best sap green ever. Warm it even more with Translucent Orange. The best greens ever! I love having a Phthalo green that is not so staining. PG7 is not a green you can use alone. Its just amazing for mixing.

[TerrieJohnson]

Love this! Shmenke is a brand I will love to buy myself if possible for some special occasion, and have to look for sales. I will want 24 ;-) I will be buying true cadmium red in the next few months. I think M Graham might be the best value in their 14ml tubes. I am looking closely at the amazon M Graham sets. The Summer, Jeweltone, and Quin set! The Quinachridone set makes me crazy! 2 1/2 oz of paint for just over 40.00...5 tubes! Shminke someday! I will buy a metal tin.

This makes me want to sit and swatch my water colors lol 😜

[crystalinedreams]

rutile is a crystal, sometimes gold but it can be many other colors too, it's mined for the titanium but us crystal lovers love to collect it as specimens. the gold looks like fine hairs or even straw made of gold, it's really beautiful when in quartz. i think i saw a rutile yellow by someone else but not sure, may have been schmincke's as it was a pale butter color like their's.

thanks for sharing the video, awesome colors, would love to see the rest of your dots swatched out. ;) you may want to purchase their green gold, i have qor's green gold and love it to mix beautiful greens and earth colors, maybe you have enough there to try a couple?

i got your free book today and am loving it, very informative and love how easy it is to follow. happy to see your found a medium tin for your paints, lotsa room for more colors! too bad you couldn't find the pans there, i'm sorta shocked about that but then again we wouldn't want you too spoiled there. lol

Always informative Liron, thank you :)

אני ממש שמח שמצאתי את הערוץ שלך ובזמן הנכון. בדיוק לפני כמה ימים נכנס בי ג'וק שאמר לי להתחיל לאייר עם צבעי מים, אז הזמנתי סט של 45 צבעים של ווינסור וניוטון, 6 מכחולים של rosemary and co וכמה ניירות פדים לצבעי מים (שאגב היה הכי קשה למצוא נאלצתי לשלם הון על משלוח). אני אשמח אם תוכל לתת לי כמה טיפים להתחלה כמו איזה דברים כדי לי להתחיל לצייר והכי חשוב מאיפה לעזאזל קונים נייר איכותי במחיר ומשלוח מוצדק?!

חוץ מזה סחטיין על שמינקי תיהנה עם הצבעים החדשים! ואחלה סרטון האנגלית שלך מעולה! עשיתי סאב איך ששמעתי את המבטא שלך מהמילה הראשונה שיצאה לך מהפה חחח

Special emotion when seeing the 🇲🇱colors? .. I think u may have some mali roots bro.. Lol😄.. I personally don't like granulation, so i might like the schmincke.. Too bad it costs crazy money here😄

[metanastescafe]

Ultramarine finest is not a new color of Schminke. The France ultramarine is new and it is a G one..
