Today I will review this set of Meliang watercolour paints, which comes in a tin of 52 colours. They're also known as Pretty Excellent paints, and this is an updated set (with earlier ones coming in sets of 36 and 48 colors). This set contains 40 premium colours, 10 macaron (pastel) colours and two metallics. Are they as good as everyone says? Do they live up to their Pretty Excellent name? Let's find out with a swatching and painting session!

Scanner update: it's working again! Turns out I literally just needed to turn everything off and on again (including my computer) and it all reset itself, LOL! 😂

@lozantoninocreations Месяц назад

Probably a stupid idea, but you could do a small video series on top 3 budget, top 3 student and top 3 professional grade paints. You have so much experience across a huge range of paints that it could help those people who want to buy a set of paints in their budgets to know which are actually the best ones for that cost. It can be confusing and overwhelming for people starting out to try and figure that out.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

That's a very good idea! I'm in dire need of a massive studio sort-out but once I've done that, it would be a consideration for a video...or maybe a series. 😊

@joymiller9668 Месяц назад

I love this set it has the colors you need to mix, they reset like a dream, and the earth colors ate way better than 36ct set, and the brush is Amazing! as a person only watercoloring for 2 yrs I think this is a set that is everything you need to start without having to buy anything separate, like a good synthetic brush, even comes with decent paper.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Yes, this is a full set to start out with - I love it when paper is included! Good paper too....what a lovely set this is. ❤

@Thia-saurus Месяц назад

Becky to the rescue with shiny, sparkly, gorgeous paints (I was hunting for something to watch and there your video was! yay)! 😄 Those paints look lovely! The paintings you created with them turned out wonderful. I'd totally use them as bookmarks. Great job 😃 thank you for sharing ❤

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Haha thank you! I think they'll end up as bookmarks - I might trim them into tag shapes and add a tassel at the end, like fancy ones have, haha.

I recieved mine a couple of days ago. I ordered it from Walmart in the US on sale for like $22! They had the 24 or 36 color set for $17 It was shipped via FedEx so it arrived within a week of ordering it last week.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

That's so cool that Walmart has them! I think Amazon is the only place they're available in Australia, but US seems to get them more easily. You got a great deal. 😊

@INCWorks Месяц назад

The tin is so pretty, and what a lot of colors! Today's paintings are especially lovely. 🌺

@vhacker71 Месяц назад

I agree 🎉

@vhacker71 Месяц назад

Great paintings. And I really enjoy hearing about your process. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you so much! I was inspired by all of the pretty colours, and they were a pleasure to work with. It always makes the creative process easier when materials are great quality! 😊

@debsmith7050 Месяц назад

I have a variation of these:; I too like them. Your galaxys are the best.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! Good old galaxies are a great fall-back for times when I'm blanking on ideas, lol.

@SueKivley Месяц назад

I originally bought the 36 pan set of Mei Ling to start as a beginner. I keep going back to them. They are really a great watercolor! Your paintings are very pretty and makes me really appreciate the vibrance of their colors.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I wish I'd had these as a beginner! I'm also happy with them now, haha.

@Lauraisabelgonzalezart Месяц назад

I still have the original set and they're still going strong!!! I love the tin as well!

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

That's great to hear they're holding up! 😊

@kymdalton7277 Месяц назад

The roses...those shiny swirls won me over...are my favourite this time but I think they're all lovely. Love your videos you always make me smile 😊

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I'm with you on that one, haha! Thank you. 😊

@shastasketches1986 Месяц назад

Just got my 52 set in today. I've always loved this brand.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Yay, I hope you have fun with it! 😊

@kayleighshaw21 Месяц назад

I got this set for xmas & love it so it's great to see you review it. All 3 paintings are lovely but my fave is the door, the colours are beautiful & i love the little metallic accents ☺️

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! I'm so glad I said yes to reviewing this set, it's a lovely one!

@dianaromig732 Месяц назад

I have these paints and I too was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful they are 🎉. Great set for just playing and so many great colors to choose from ❤

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I'm so glad you're enjoying it too! 😊

@bethmegansmith4642 10 дней назад

I have changed my mind about The Sennelier 48 set .they are too much money . you made me laugh thank you xxxx Than you for sharing happy swatching xxxxxx

@E4Alabbasy Месяц назад

I've seen people swatch these and they always looked quite nice, but when you painted with them I thought man they look Really nice! And now I want them 😅

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I was really surprised too at how good they are. I thought they'd be more student-y but they have surpassed my expectations by a lot!

@jngbialek Месяц назад

Their 36 set was one of my first paints! I love my professional wc, but these are fine! They really got me to explore

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

It's a great set for exploration, and for anything really. I love it!

@markyteo Месяц назад

The door illustration is great. You should consider a much larger drawing, like a row of shop front or a beach.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you, that's a nice idea! 😊

@carrollwilson5169 Месяц назад

Love the paintings. Super bright colours. See you next video

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! 😊

@vhacker71 Месяц назад

Great paintings. I really enjoy hearing you talk about the products and your process in doing your works of art. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! I was really inspired by these lovely paints, so that always makes the job easier haha!

@lamargot2201 Месяц назад

They look semi-moist, like Yarka or Prang. Nice Artwork!

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Yes, I'd say so. They always activate so easily, I love it! Thank you 😊

@jaimeo2312 Месяц назад

Nice! I particularly loved the door painting. A fun video, thanks Becky ❤

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thanks so much! 😊

@MirandaWatsonArt Месяц назад

All of your paintings are fun! I agree - the ink over the flowers just makes it. Looks like a great set of paint!

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you, I really like the set; it'll be one I'll keep for sure! I need to donate some items because my studio is overflowing, lol.

@artandmusic09 Месяц назад

This is one of my few watercolor palettes that I own. I really like the paints too, the colors are vibrant and pretty soft, so they wet very easily. One of the pans came out during shipping and I compared it to a standard half pan and it is much smaller, length, width, and depth wise. I do really love this palette, though. It pretty cheap as well for the amount of colors offered.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I had a feeling they'd be smaller than a half pan, like not as deep - thank you for confirming that! It's a great set, I love it!

@veystone2580 Месяц назад

I love that door painting! ❤

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you 😊

@sayusayme7729 Месяц назад

Thank you, looks like I can add this for my practice.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Yes, this would be a great set for that! Not too expensive but great quality with heaps of colours to mix and experiment with. 😊

@zenlife1200 Месяц назад

Oooh lots of pretty and sparkly colors in that set. The color layout you see in the pans vs the chart are misleading. The palette colors look like they're jumbled up but when you see them swatched out they do have an order to them. I guess you should never judge a palette layout by it's looks, always swatch them out first 😄

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Haha yes, I really thought the colours were so out of order but swatching them proved otherwise thankfully! 😂

@karenirving7088 Месяц назад

Good morning. Having my coffee with you. I was going to buy the Paul Reubens pastel set but this set seems like much better value. Thanks.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Good morning, I only just got up a little while ago, lol! 😂 Paul Rubens products are good too - this set though is just fabulous!

@karenirving7088 Месяц назад

I’ve ordered it 😂

@jbonamo Месяц назад

Thank you for your review of these beautiful paints. I did not need them, at all, as I have the two smaller sets, but loved them and your review so I ordered a set. Thanks again!

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Uh-oh, I've been influencing again! 😬 I hope you enjoy them - this big set is really good one. ❤

@ChantelleArts Месяц назад

This is such a gorgeous set, might have to pick this up ☺☺

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I was very pleasantly surprised with how lovely it is! Worth keeping an eye out for sales on it which I think Amazon does periodically.

@tempest6781 Месяц назад

I have an older set of these watercolours and they're great. They're not very light-fast but they hold up well enough and are relatively cheap.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I think any lightfastness issues can be forgiven with their overall high quality, and also that they're not marketed as high level artist grade. They exceed expectations because of that, haha.

@tempest6781 Месяц назад

@@BeckyTregear exactly. I do love them and would recommend for anyone who's in a budget or starting out. Even professionals will love these and have a great time with them.

@daviddockery5392 Месяц назад

I have had a 36 paint set same brand love mine

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I think these are the same, just with more! 😂

@Azkademon Месяц назад

What a fab set!! And the colours are stunning, when you were painting on that brilliant paper I was thinking they would make excellent book markers, but I'd have to cut them down the middle as they are a little too chunky for me, the loose roses were my fave, these are very much like the Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints as I see a slight sheen on them when they are dry like you get with the kuretake sets, but I don't mind that, great review! :D

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! They really are similar to Kuretake paints, which is fine with me because I love those too, haha. Yes the paper is just a little too wide to be considered a bookmark, but I guess these ones would go well in big books. 😂

@kyliescolouringindownunder3098 Месяц назад

Hi Becky they look so beautiful.: i just recently purchased the artist grade they have light fast rating I wanted a cheap set for practicing thank you for sharing hun ❤❤❤😊😊😊xxxx

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

These would be a great consideration, purely because they're such great quality and work just as well as artist great (or close enough that I couldn't notice much difference, lol).

@jacquicoote_art Месяц назад

Yay - love your watercolour reviews. Another set I don’t need but must have 😂😂

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Haha I know that feeling! My watercolour cabinet is groaning, lol.

@chrish6752 12 дней назад

Always so informative and tbh you really make me want to get a set. Lovely variety of painting subjects and the colours are so vibrant. Thank you!

@BeckyTregear 12 дней назад

Thank you, I'm glad the video was helpful, and yes these definitely are lovely paints! 🙂

@fuzzydragons Месяц назад

I have thought about trying those, but then i look at my other watercolours and remember i have too much stuff, need to use the old watercolours up first😝 the colours are VERY nice! scanners always throw a fit when you really need them, glad its back to working

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

If in the future you decide for more watercolours, then these are great! But I totally know what you mean because my studio is chockablock with supplies, lol. You'll see how bad it is in my next video, haha. I think the scanner had stopped working because I'd left it on standby for over a month when I was out at my Dad's and I'd forgotten to turn it off fully, so it didn't like having to do anything without a hard reboot.

@craftSolo4011 Месяц назад

Looks awesome! Thank you

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I had a blast using these - it's one of my new favourite sets!

@moniqueme1600 Месяц назад

I have this set and love them! I took each pan out of the plastic part in the metal box and put them in another, smaller box.Check the pen though, mine is not waterproof and it says exactly what your pen says on it.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Maybe I'll double check that pen, but it seemed to be ok on the door painting. I was trying to remember just now if I'd inked it before painting, haha!

@AlexEndorian Месяц назад

Love the painting! About 11 1/2 minutes, the colors made me think of ripply stained glass.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Thank you! These paints are so pretty, and wonderfully transparent (except for the opaque pastel colours mixed with white, lol). I really like them. 😊

@jannecapelle_art Месяц назад

oh wow, these are beautiful! ive only ever heard good things about meliang paints :) ngl the tin alone is so nice (i LOVE that pale blue) and ireally have to hold myself back not to buy it😭 ive already got so many paints but when you see affordable ones like these... its a challenge 😅

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

I know what you mean, haha! I actually resisted this set for a while, but it was made available for me to review again, and I caved. I'm glad I did because they're lovely, but my paint cabinet is full to bursting, lol.

@marielouiseweeksb33attitud33 Месяц назад

Impressive

@joymiller9668 Месяц назад

They had the pigment info in my set. The pastels have cad yellow, orange and red, I can try to post the rest.

@joymiller9668 Месяц назад

The white was pw5

@joymiller9668 Месяц назад

Think some of them have oxgall.

@BeckyTregear Месяц назад

Oh wow - I had to double check mine to make sure I hadn't missed pigment numbers somewhere, haha! Sounds like if they're using cadmiums etc that the colours would be pretty lightfast, yay! Explains why they're so opaque too.
