Thank you for your kind comments, Tracy!

Thank you, Izzy!

You are so welcome, Jessica!

Thank you for watching. Hope you like it.

I guess I won't send you think link since you've already found it. 😂 👋

@@TracyIndy Hi Tracy! Thanks for your generosity but RU-vid beet you to it. It was on my RU-vid homepage so I naturally clicked on it. The MH paints look really beautiful! Jackson’s uploaded yesterday an interview with Michal Harding.

@@awatercolourist Thank you for the tip. I'll look for it there. 👋

@@TracyIndy Pleasure! Mina Does Art Stuff also reviewed them. I think she uploaded the video yesterday.

@@awatercolourist Thank you. 😊 I'll check it out. 👋

Thank you for your kind comments, Kashfia! There's barely any information regarding the swatches of these watercolors online. I'm glad this was helpful. These are still sticky in the pan after a week of pouring so not sure how well they'd behave during shipping.

@@mikiwatercolor in the winter I find it much easier to dry sticky pigments in a pan if they are placed near a heat register. The warm air helps dry them down somewhat. I'm not sure where you live or what your climate is like. Another option to quicken dry time is a food dehumidifier. I have an old one that I use just for paints. Thanks again for a great video. 👍

@Kashfia Hare I just looked and there is a seller on etsy with small pans for sale. 😀

Hi Tracy. Are you referring to the seller alexiscarrollart? I saw she was selling a few colors at the moment, looking forward to her adding more colors for sale ☺️ Do you happen to know of other sellers?

@@kashfiahare3190 Yes. That is the seller.

You are so welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

PR206 is so gorgeous. It leans towards brown ( for example brown madder in WN watercolors) and also red (permanent alizarin crimson WN previously). Though WN have recently changed their permanent alizarin pigment to PR179. Thank you for watching 🙂

@@mikiwatercolor Thanks Miki. Yes, PR206 is a very beautiful paint. According to Handprint, the W&N Permanent Alizarin Crimson was actually made from Quinacridone Pyrrolidone and PR206. Quinacridone Pyrrolidone is not on the Colour Index so it does not have pigment number. Quinacridone Pyrrolidone is the pigment in W&N’s Permanent Carmine.

You're welcome, David 🙂

Thank you, Jay 🙂

You're welcome, Martina! PY180 is really pretty with high tinting strength and I immediately loved it while swatching. New pigments are always intriguing. I have another swatch video coming up 😊

Kimberly Crick now has a blog post about Michael Harding where she mentions PY180. I am using it as I bought the Vivid set. Its in a couple of the mixes in colors i bought like Hooker's Green. Enjoy!

You're welcome, Dave! Yes, it is so unusual to see varying granulation levels in the pigments you mentioned. However, it isn't as intense like in PB29, minimal in the phthalo greens and blues, PO73, PV23 but noticable in PR254 and Pbk31. It can be a bit challenging to assess granulation in high tinting pigments but it would be great to see this in mixes. For example, Bright green light is a mix of PG7 and PY180 and exhibited some granulation.

@@mikiwatercolor really useful information. will be a big help when deciding on which to buy. thanks for replying

You're welcome :) I poured them out in pans almost a week before swatching. They probably contain honey because they're sticky and did not completely set yet, thereby making it easy to rewet.

You're welcome, Vee! I've updated my email address. I look forward to hearing rom you :)

@@mikiwatercolor brilliant, i'll email you in a bit :)
