I won Van Gogh watercolors in Charlie’s #WWM and put them through their paces. I was shocked to see that they really are much better than normal student paints. I did this pear with them.
I then did the same pear on the same paper, using the same brushes and the same colors but using professional paint (Daniel Smith, Schmincke, Winsor & Newton). I was flabbergasted just how similar the pears look! The Van Gogh set is really inexpensive, much like buying a Koi set. But you get really, really good paints. I usually NEVER endorse “student” grade anything. I believe students, even more than professional watercolorists should use high grade supplies. BUT I changed my opinion after trying the Van Gogh watercolors. these are GOOD paints. Here’s the professional grade painted pear for comparison.
If you want to read more go to my blog. Just Add Water Silly.thanks Kate! I was so shocked how well the van gogh pear came out. Great paints especially for the price!
Oh I know that pain!! I’ll make your pain even worse.. I heard from WetPaint, they’re doing ANOTHER 2017 “square” palette!! Since the last one sold out SO quickly, in record time, only a few months which is unheard of for them. I have the skinny about what’s gonna be in it! Comes out in October so save your pennies! I’m getting it this time as I missed th quick selling one a few months ago! I’ll post all about it soon.
