Hi friends! In today's video, we are going to take a look at the artist-grade watercolors I use. I have an extensive range due to my years of painting and reviewing paint. I haven't tried everything though so please don't be offended if your favorite brand is not on my list. There are a lot of good paints out there and all artists have different preferences so just because I like something, or dislike it doesn't mean that you should too. We are all different and there is a paint for everyone. I also want to warn you against searching for the perfect product instead of using what you have. We have the ability to find and buy paint from all over the world. It is tempting to want to try them all and sometimes we can be lured into the belief that our paintings would be so much better if we only had this paint or that brush. The ONLY thing that is going to make you a better painter is painting. As long as your supplies are sufficient you are good. Even if you are painting with paint that isn't top-quality you are still going to learn and then you will notice a marked improvement when you upgrade. If you constantly bounce around from paint brand to paint brand before building your skills you can get confused by all of the adapting you may need to do and actually slow your progress. I know watching this video might trigger the 'want monster" so I felt this needed to be said. Use this information to learn more about the paint brands available but keep in mind that they are all good and if you have paint you are happy with, use it!

I had several viewers comment that my Schminke paints are very weak compared to what they have experienced so I might have got a bad batch. Let me know your experience if you have used them. I might need to give them another look. Let me know your favorite watercolors in the comments below and til next time happy crafting!
