The Worst Watercolors?! CSY Art Gallery 'Handmade Watercolors' Unbox & Swatch

Check out my art! My comic, 7" Kara: as a webcomic: https://7inchkara.com print: https://nattosoup.com/kara-series Instagram:   / nattosoup   Tiktok:   / nattosoup   If you found this review helpful, please consider supporting the creation of more like this by joining me on Patreon!   / nattosoup   Shownotes: CSY Watercolors Essential: https://amzn.to/3LGdHkJ Landscape: https://amzn.to/3pjK7tq Say they're handmade- Say they're made in Germany- have some serious doubts about that Their online presence is strange No personal website Etsy is currently down Ali Express is currently down-https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101... Instagram has juuust enough photos Facebook is...weird? People are commenting issues or interest, but there's no response? So either someone who isn't proficient in english, someone with some anxiety issues, or a company pretending to be a single person Has some presence on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3M2Bi0o The Packaging: Small brown cardboard boxes Inside is a clear plastic bag with a seal, a piece of cute cardstock, a silica packet, my 6 watercolors, and a w/c business card with swatch room on the back that includes color names, pigments, lightfastness, staining, and opacity. I like this a lot. Colors in Each Set: Landscape: Pthalocyanen Blue Dioxazine Purple Night Green Aremenian Gold Rosso Ercolano Sepia Essentials: Indran Yellow Crimson Lake Blue Verditer Permanent Orange Yellow Potter Pink French Ultramarine Each pan is wrapped in gold foil, with an adhesive belly band incidcating the color, and an adhesive sticker on the back with the color name. Sticker can be carefully peeled off and used to mark pans Landscape: Theeeeese are very slow to activate. Phthalocanen (pthalocyanine?) blue and dioxazine purple are both pretty weak and unipressive, but they may just need more time. The Sepia looks like some black may have been added to make it darker, but the pigment is listed as just PBr7. In fact, ALL of these are listed as single pigment colors. I have never seen a pthalo blue OR a diox purple this week before. I suspect, and suspected from the beginning, that these are mass produced and being sold as a handmade problem, hence all the weird wink wink nudge nudge at the beginning Essentials: Awful, just awful Indian Yellow and Perm Orange Yellow are laughably weak. The Crimson Lake is also super weak and not really a crimson lake, and the Potter's Pink isn't potter's pink- it's more like an alizarin crimson The Blue verditer is more like a pthalo blue, and the french ultramarine is fine. It's the only decent one here. Frankly, I sorta think they're lying about the colors and the pigments they've got, because none of these look like the real deal Swatching on Blick: These are absolutely awful. No redemption for these whatsoever, these are a waste of your money. Better alternatives- Available on AliExpress: Paul Rubens Superior Handmade Watercolors: Beam Paints Heavy on the granulation: Schmincke The Verdict: Absolutely not. Mairtini Brillian Rays Watercolors Adventure Set Purchased off AliExpress 4piece: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680... 12 Piece Palette: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/325680... 4 piece- I thought they'd secured it with clingwrap, but it was more like just a protective film to keep it from getting scratched. The 4 pans are friction fit inside (so they're removable) and the palette snaps closed via a spring in the hinge.
