REVIEW: Meiliang Solid Watercolor 52-Color Set From Lightwish

Lightwish has upgraded their Meiliang Solid Watercolor set from 36 to 52 colors. The pigment formulas have been updated, more accessories have been added, and the metal case comes in either purple or blue. And the paints are still non-toxic. Meiliang focuses on student grade paints of high quality. This a nifty watercolor set with almost everything you would need to paint, whether at home or on…

Pastel Sky

I painted this off a tutorial that @soshacreates has in her galaxy book. I didn’t have the recommended colors so I used my Paul Ruben Metallic Glitter paints and I liked how it came out. Some of the planets I added in the bottom layer are hard to see with the jelly roll pens.

My second painting of Data is complete! I'm not quite as fond of this one as the first one. I think the fact that I did it on hot press paper has something to do with it. This may be my first time using hot press, but I could be forgetting a previous attempt. I hope you guys like it though! As before, here's a video so you can see it sparkle under the light!

Tools: Paul Rubens hot press cotton watercolor paper 7.6 x 5.3 inch, Pentel Click 0.7 pencil, Pentel hi-polymer eraser, Sakura Pigma Micron 01 pen, Aquash watercolor brush, Mei Liang watercolor paints, Sakura Koi metallic watercolor paints, Epson Perfection 4490 scanner.

MWW Artwork of the Day (8/11/24) Copy of Leonardo da Vinci (Florentine, 1452-1519) Detail: The Battle of Anghiari (c. 1503-05) Black chalk, pen and ink, watercolor on paper, 45.2 x 63.7 cm. Musée du Louvre, Paris

"The Battle of Anghiari" is a currently lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci, at times referred to as "The Lost Leonardo", which some commentators believe to be still hidden beneath one of the later frescoes in the Salone dei Cinquecento (Hall of the Five Hundred) in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence. Its central scene depicted four men riding raging war horses engaged in a battle for possession of a standard, at the Battle of Anghiari in 1440. Many preparatory studies by Leonardo still exist. The composition of the central section is best known through this drawing by Peter Paul Rubens in the Louvre.

WATERCOLOR COMPARISON/REVIEW POST

provided by this dumbass

!!!!PLEASE READ FIRST!!!!

these are MY PERSONAL OPINIONS and you can feel diffrently about these paints and i actually encourage that you voice your own opinions in the comments/reblogs. Same with brands that you yourself recommend. I am restricted in the paint brands i can get my hands on due to my location so i cannot speak for other countries really so i hope by this post may encourage other people to speak out about their favourite brands That being said please reblog this if you found it helpful i wanna help as much people to make an informed purchase since watercolor isnt cheap and it pains my heart when i people loose their money due to buying an overpriced shitty set

!!!!INFO!!!!

- this is based after usage on both very good watercolor paper (100% cotton 300g/m^2) AND a "decent" sketchbook (sakura/talens sketchbooks, which arent made for watercolor)

TO THE ACTUAL COMPARISON/REVIEW

1. WINSOR AND NEWTON - COTMAN (+one professional) Personally i feel like its one of the best options available for beginners and more advanced artists. Here where i live its one of the most easily available watercolors and i consider it the "safest" option It can be rather expensive with one half pan costing around 2.8~ euros and 8ml tubes going for around 4.8~ euros but i can assure you that they come a long way like most watercolors (and you can often find them cheaper) POINTS TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT IF YOU BUY (PTTIAIYB) - you dont need to buy a full set unless it really comes out cheaper and you plan on using the full range of colors - i recomment buying tubes instead of halfpans if you are on a budget and want to take this seriously. it will get you far more paint especially if you manage to find them on sale. YOU CAN BUY HALF PANS SEPARATELY - if you dont have a box dont worry! make one yourself and tape the halfpans inside it with something like nano tape 2. RENESANS - EXTRA FINE WATERCOLOR This one is a mixed bag for me. The value is amazing as they cost ~1.3 euro per pan and are very pigmented but they are mostly only available in poland and are rather thick. I would say they are person specific and you should give them a try if you can PTTIAIYB - INTENSE AND EF ARE NOT THE SAME PAINTS there are no tubes for EF. only pans 3. SAKURA - KOI WATERCOLOR

if you have no other watercolor supplies and you plan on taking your set places this is a great place to start imo. you get everything you really need and its really nice. the watercolor can be a little grainy at times compared to COTMAN for example but its still very good Its a very good student grade watercolor if youre just starting out! (they will fade in sun after some time as they are not as lightfast as the brands above from my research) PTTIAIYB - if you finish a color refills are hard to get and are more expensive than what its worth. try finding a nice tubed paint that is similar instead :) 4. NEVSKAYA PALITRA - SONNET These are great paints in my opinion, very smooth and nice to paint with and you get a lot of paint in the set. They are student grade and some colors will fade after a year in the sun PTTIAIYB - these paints are russian and i know some people would rather not buy any russian products at all due to world events. from what i gathered the best substitudes for them are Ukrainian ROSA watercolors and paul rubens student grade colors [i was not aware of either of these existance before buying the SONNET watercolors] - no refills available from what i gathered 5. KURETAKE - GANSAI TAMBI Personally i dont vibe with these at all. they are hard to work with, they are weirdly glossy and come out patchy on less luxurious paper which i know is a pain to get cheaply. they arent very cheap either! >:[ but they are definetely special compared to other paints! if you like them maybe give me some tips! PTTIAIYB - only available in pans BUT you can buy them separately - pans are VERY BIG. might be hard and inconvenient if you 6. DERWENT - INKTENSE

I have the biggest love-hate relationship with these ever. On one hand they are something way diffrent than what any other watercolor can offer, they have some colors not available in other sets and are generally weird af BUT ON THE OTHER they are very hard to work with and dont really hold up on the promises made mostly the "pernament when dry" claim That is kinda bullshit ngl. even my swatches which have been drying for like 6 months at this point still lift up from the paper IMO unless you REALLY want them and get yourself educated on them DO NOT BUY. Especially if youre just starting out PTTIAIYB - get educated on pros and cons - technically NOT watercolor (rolls eyes)

That was the last set of better watercolor i own heres a picture of all of the sets mentioned and how they look in action! (scanned and in picture)

GUIDE ON HOW TO READ

IF YOURE READING THIS

know that watercolor is not for everyone and you might not like it, but in some cases if you dont have the correct supplies you might get discouraged early :( please dont give up but also dont force yourself to do something you dont want to (i for example will not pick up a pastel ever lol) no matter on what art level you are your art is special so feel free to share your watercolor paintings and thoughts on paints that you use in the reblogs i will try my best to see all of them :) Have a great day and have fun creating Mistake of nature

[anctherdayofsun]

Hi! What brand of paint and brushes do you use? I feel like there are so many options out there 😅

i use this gouache set by Himi and i absolutely love it, can't recommend enough!!

for watercolors i use this little set from Paul Rubens. the colors are super vibrant which i love!

as for brushes it's a little more difficult as i've got such a random assortment of brushes that i've collected over the years😅 some are from the art store, some are my dad's who is a painter and decorator so they're really not meant for artists but they work just fine for me lol so i couldn't really tell you any exact brands :/

Northern Lights Painted this from the third chapter of @thiswritingdesk book wilderness watercolor landscapes… the tape was not my friend and I struggle with the tapping technique and getting it to do what I want.
