Here is a look at the Etchr Lab watercolour box set - it came with the 24 half-pan palette, a watercolour block and three felt-tip pens.
The paint-out is done in a Canson All Media Sketch book with 90lb cold pressed watercolour paper. The brush is a Da Vinci series 10 Kolinsky Sable size 5, and this sort of water container can be found at Amazon.com or DickBlick.com.
These watercolours are describes as 'premium student' colours, and I don't usually cover student ranges as they generally lack the range of characteristics that make watercolour so special. However this mostly single-pigment range includes colours and pigments that rival some professional ranges. It includes cadmium and cobalt pigments that are normally series 3 or 4 colours and are not usually included in student ranges. While I would re-name some colours, and found a few a little harder to reactivate, this is an impressive starter set for the price. Being half pans, it is easy to change out colours as desired.

It’s great to see these all presented so clearly with all the details and different thicknesses of paint. I’ve found Etchr quite expensive, also being in the UK, though their products are all beautiful and it’s interesting to see them release more since the bag every RU-vidr was sent a few years ago. The lighter Prussian and phthalo blues are nice, gives you more options to stay lighter or go darker. That lime green is gorgeous too.

Thank you so very much for your tireless work in providing so much information for the paint enthusiasts of the world!!! It just doesn’t seem enough to say thank you, but there it is. I go to your site for information frequently and I know your work in a scientific dispassionate way and I will see M. Grahams paints looked at reasonably because that’s right and not because someone said something. Don’t get me wrong I’m in love with color really expensive color!!🤣. So I save my pennies I get what I can. I’m saving now for maybe a course with you. That would be great. Thanks again for all you do lady. Stay safe!!!

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

Thank you. M.Graham watercolours are powerful and work beautifully for many, especially those who work with paint directly from the tube. While they don't suit my working style, or climate, I think it is essential that there is a range of paint styles available - the more honey-based like M.Graham and Sennelier; the paints available just in tubes, or just in pans; the paints available in any form, such as Schmincke; paints that are geared towards transparency or granulation or single pigments...we are spoilt for choice. I offer two huge online courses at the moment, and you can join any time :-)

@@janeblundellart I will check back in. It looked like they started at specific times. I live in a high mountain desert in Utah so that’s why m graham works for me also their customer service is unparalleled. My dog got into my paints I mean got a new tube and chewed a hole in it a ate a good portion. Pomeranians are goats is all I can say. I called their phone and they called right back also complained a bit about their caps and they sent me several free of charge. That being said. I love the wild and free colors of Daniel smith and the jewel like colors of winsor Newton. I can’t even talk about schmincke because I have to save and look for sales🤣. Thanks again ever so much for your time. So appreciate your sharing of your time and talents and I saw a pod cast where you showed all your swatch’s of all the paints in the world.......a girl can dream!!🤣💖

It's been my experience Etchr repackages cheap materials and upcharges outrageously for them. I almost bought their "etchr mirror" but luckily discover the exact same product (and I mean the EXACT same in every way) on sale at Amazon from multiple distributors for a fifth of the price. Buyer beware. It left a very bad taste in my mouth and I wouldn't consider any of their products in the future. Also I compared this with the Paul Ruben 24 set after the commenter below mentioned how similar the color chart was and they are identical other than the color of the packaging and the names given to the colors.

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

I haven't tried the Paul Ruben set but have heard that they are very similar so they could well be from the same factory? The price I saw for the Etchr set of 24 was, I thought, very reasonable for a high quality student set in a metal palette. However I haven't compared the price with the Paul Ruben set.

@waymire01 3 года назад

@@janeblundellart The Paul Ruben 24 set is currently on sale for $33. That was a 14% discount so it's not much more than that usually. The 48 pan set is right around $60 (I own that one). There is also a 12 pan set but I'm not sure the price.. obviously less than the 24.

@waymire01 3 года назад

It very well could be, I've caught them 100% repackaging Chinese produced items at a huge mark up. The two sets are identical other than the color of the packaging and the sames of the shades. Paul Rubens professional paints are great, I own the 48pan set.

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

@@waymire01 I suspect the Etchr set is made by the same company. Many colours are the same pigments (with different names), though the Paul Rubens set has a cerulean pigment instead of Phthalo for the sky blue and doesn't have the black and white.

@axon130 2 года назад

@@waymire01 I've worked with enough Paul Rubens pans to recognize them right away, and these are definitely not Paul Rubens. They look a lot more like Artsy (aka Superior Master Grade) paints, another Chinese manufacturer.

@AyaSmith 3 года назад

Hello… I’m searching for the most lightfast blue.. what brand/blue would you say is most permanent above others?

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

Blues are pretty lightfast. I'd use ultramarine most often, followed by cerulean chromium. Some love Cobalt Blue - it is generally more expensive though. It is a 'mid' blue. If you want a really powerful and non-granulating blue consider phthalo blue neither green shade or red shade.

@macCALICOmac 2 года назад

These look so much like the pretty excellent watercolor. Not that I’ve seen them in real life. Only online.

@awatercolourist 3 года назад

Thanks, Jane! Its very, very interesting to see an orange PY150. Is it as transparent and as intense as the yellow PY150?

@janeblundellart 2 года назад

It is totally different as it is semi-opaque where the transparent yellows are usually very transparent.

@awatercolourist 2 года назад

@@janeblundellart Thanks so much! Its always good to learn about different versions of pigments.

@Veronica-yy2or 3 года назад

Very informative. I really enjoy when I get to see the bigger swatches. Do you think they will come out with a professional set since as you mentioned they're using cadmium and cobalt pigments? What do you think the differences might be? Nice to see this set in action. Will you be using these to do any paintings?

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

Lots of questions there! Etchr Lab make some of the best watercolour sketchbooks available, I think, so I was surprised that they were creating a student range rather than a professional range of watercolours. I don't know what their future plans are, but I rather like there being a set of colours that someone can purchase to get started that has been thoughtfully put together - it can be difficult to decide what colours to get when looking at many brands. Painting with a range is far better than just swatching them, so I may do a painting with them for one of my Zoom classes, where we are painting with bright primaries and secondaries, to put them to work. For my own paintings I use the colours I have done my own lightfast tests so I am really sure they won't fade.

@Veronica-yy2or 3 года назад

@@janeblundellart Oh i hope so. I'd love to hear your thoughts and see you paint. You're one of the best sources out there on watercolor. If I could create the ultimate learning retreat for new watercolor artists it would be: You and Mind of Watercolor, Parka Blogs and Kimberly Crick Art, Eve Bolt and Otto Kano. Thank you so much for sharing with the watercolor community and all of us new painters out here.

Volume too low despite computer sound and RU-vid settings to maximum. This is a recording issue since other videos have normal volume. Disappointing since your videos always have good information and advice.

@janeblundellart 3 года назад

The sound doesn’t start immediately...perhaps check part way through.

@@janeblundellart I watched through your swatching of the orange paints, so there was narration at that point. It was just too faint for my new laptop even with the volume at 100%. No problems with other videos. Lovely to watch how you paint swatches even without hearing your remarks.
