ShinHan Professional Watercolor 30c SET

lovely colors, amazing quality. better than expected!

I bought these paintsto review on The Frugal Crafter YouTube channel after several viewers asked me to. I was skeptical that paint costing less than $1 a tube would be good but I decided to give them a try anyway. I paid under $26 for the set of 30 colors. I was really impressed with these paints. I painted the leaves and donuts with them as seen on the photos. Pros: Price Pigment numbers listed on tubes Vibrant colors Paints dry down well without cracking and falling out in my palette. Paints rewet easily with the touch of a wet brush Colors lift easily *they can be good for a beginner but bad for advanced artists working in multiple layers. Cons: Some pigments used are know to be fugitive (PR83, PY1, and one of the violets) Colors are a bit opaque when used at full strength making more than 3 layers of glazes problematic. Because the colors lift well it can make glazing difficult. I would rate these as a high end student paint, more vibrant that Cotman, Van Gogh or Grumbacher Academy but not a true professional artists grade but still, it's a steal of a deal and worth every penny! Happy painting!

These watercolors are great!! Espiecally for the price! The colors are nice and vibrant, and there are a lot of options to choose from, if you're not into mixing your own colors. My only complaints are that they are a tad chalky if you don't use much water, and they don't blend as easily as I would like. The substance overall is a little trickier to control than what I am used to. (Although some of these results may be due to the type of watercolor paper I use. ((140LB Strathmore cold press)) And these results are also based on my own personal opinion, so the chalkiness, for instance, may be a consistency you enjoy!) I compared them to my HWC Holbein watercolors– which I find absolutely perfect for my painting style, but they can be a bit pricey. These are very similar, but for an affordable price! If you are a beginner to watercolor, and you want to try out some quality watercolors for an affordable price, then I don't think these Shinhan watercolors will disappoint you! Just a little tip: These tubed watercolor paints can be a bit cumbersome having to constantly open and close while you're painting. You can buy a cheap watercolor pan, (you can get them for about $4 at a craft or drug store) rinse all of the paint patties out, and then put your new tubed watercolors into the clean, empty pan for easy access!

Disclosure - I am a brand new watercolor painting hobbyist. My first set of paint was Reeve's brand in the tubes so that's I all I have to compare to these ShinHan paints. Both brands I have stored in half pans. I love the vibrancy of the colors and the variety, but I didn't notice there was a pretty wide range of consistency in paints. When I transferred them to half pans, some were liquid and just poured out of the tubes and some were thick and creamy. When I use them in a well, I noticed that when some dried, they cracked and flaked and when I added water it took a bit to get the pigment to coalesce. I've also noticed that grainy texture shows up in paintings as well. For example, the other day I was working on a landscape and noticed this grainy separation in my sky. I've since run across a tutorial where a gal I follow talked about the fact that some paints have this quality naturally and some are smoother. SO I guess it's a thing and maybe just a personal preference? So far, I notice it the most in some of the blues. ANYWAY... just thought I'd mentioned it. Overall, all very usable and lovely. I will definitely use them up all the way until I can graduate to some of the more expensive brands, but for the price, it's been a worthwhile purchase.

I just completed my first painting with this set and I am very satisfied. The colors are vibrant, moves beautifully with water, and can also be applied thick and opaque like gouache. I squeeze out a bit from every tube and let it dry before using. I really enjoyed painting with this, and look forward to many years of use. A little goes a very long way! I bet when my three months old son gets old enough to hold a paint brush he will be using this very set :) Very glad I didn’t shell out three times the money for something with a bigger name - this is more than enough for my daily painting needs. Edit - after a few weeks of using these I am even more amazed. Combined with good paper (Arches) and decent brushes (princeton elite), I am able to paint images I was not able to achieve before. If I had only known that a good set of watercolors would make so much of a difference, I would have never wasted my time with all those cheaper sets. I mean - they’re not even cheaper by much! Actually, some of the inferior stuff is more expensive than these! This set costs less than a set of Sakura koi 48 or a Windsor Newton travel palette, but these colors are infinitely superior in performance. Of course it is because of the way I paint (heavy, heavy washes) that makes them so good. If you were using watercolor like gouache (without heavy washes, on dry paper) then maybe the difference between these and the other student grade stuff won’t be so dramatic.. but if you are truly painting WATER color, and don’t want to spend $15 on a single Daniel Smith, please do yourself a favor and get these. I am enjoying them so much and I can’t stop talking about them to all my artist friends :) Another thing - the way I use them is I get an empty palette with plastic pans, and fill the pans with every color. Then I let them sit for a day or two to dry. Then I paint. I don’t use wet paint out of the tube, because I want to achieve multiple light layers. This also eliminates waste. Edit- I really cannot believe this set is only 25 bucks! Wow!

Il pacco è arrivato MOLTO prima del previsto. Ben imballato è arrivato in condizioni ottime. Una volta aperti i colori si presentano (parere mio) in un ordine quantomeno particolare (lo swatch segue l'ordine in cui i colori erano proposti nella confezione.) che mi ha costretta (ma è una fissazione mia) a riorganizzarli per dargli un senso visto che il viola era buttato in mezzo ai rossi e la gamma dei marroni era "spezzata" a metà. Ovviamente è un'inezia ma è la prima volta che mi capita di trovare un set con i colori disposti in questo modo. Colori vibranti e vari (può sembrare una banalità ma alcune marche vendono set con colori eccessivamente simili non coprendo alcune tonalità essenziali. Inoltre alcuni colori sono veramente interessanti). Si sfumano bene (La foto dello swatch è solo per mostrare i colori ma è fatto su una carta di infima qualità pertanto il risultato è pessimo. Inoltre nella foto della palette ci sono due intrusi- Blu Turchese Chiaro e Lillac sempre della Shinhan SWC) Si reidratano facilmente. L'unica perplessità è sulla resistenza alla luce in quanto molti sono valutati come 3 stelle. Ma per il prezzo pagato ho i miei dubbi. La pecca più grande del set è la mancanza di informazioni. Il pacchetto arriva nella sua (quasi) anonima scatoletta blu priva di informazioni di qualsivoglia genere o tipo. Niente opuscolo per illustrare gli altri prodotti del marchio. Niente immagine dei colori (deducibili unicamente dalla striscia colorata presente sui tubetti). Niente elenco dei colori. Niente elenco degli "ingredienti". Tutto quello che ci è dato sapere sui colori è scritto sul tubetto (che riporta numero, nome colore, resistenza alla luce e livello di opacità/trasparenza). Tuttavia per il prezzo pagato (38 euro più 3 di spedizione al momento dell'acquisto) si meritano 5 stelle. Ovviamente sono stati valutati per la categoria cui appartengono (grado student) e non reggono il confronto con acquerelli di livello superiore. Detto ciò Vista l'ampia gamma di colori direi che è consigliato per chi vuole giocare e sperimentare con i colori.

Good stuff

Ich habe die Farben vor kurzem erhalten. Eigentlich wurden mir die Farben geschenkt, ich würde aber trotzdem gerne eine Rezension verfassen (die ich durch weiteres testen der Farben immer wieder aktualisieren werde). Geliefert wurden mir 30 Tuben a 7,5 ml in einer schönen Verpackung die man gut ins Regal stellen kann, die Tuben lassen sich natürlich auspressen um die Farbe in Näpfchen zu füllen oder direkt auf die Palette zu drücken. Ich kenne die Shinhan Aquarellfarben erst seit kurzem, male aber selbst schon seit guten 10 Jahren. Meine all time favorites sind (leider) White Nights, die obwohl sie der Artist Serie angehören, leider eine schlechte Lichtechtheit aufweisen. Genau aus diesem Grund brauche ich für diverse Arbeiten eine Marke die gute Lichtechte, lebendige Farbe herstellt, die man auch wieder vom Papier lösen kann. In meiner Laufbahn habe ich schon viele Farben verwendet, bin bis heute aber immer bei White Nights und Holbein gestrandet, andere Marken wie Sennelier, Old Holland oder Daniel Smith haben mich persönlich nicht überzeugt. Ich will damit nicht sagen, das andere Farben schlecht sind, im Gegenteil - ich bin nur nicht bereit mir um 200 Euro Schmincke Horadam zuzulegen - wenn ich billigere Farben finde, die sich fast gleich verhalten und ein Drittel kosten. Allgemein lassen sich die Shinhan Farben sehr gut verarbeiten, die Farben sind strahlend, hell, lebendig und frisch, auch nach dem Trocknen, sind einige Farbtöne dabei, die man gerne in die eigene Palette aufnimmt (Saftgrün zB). Daneben finde ich die Namen der Farben sehr interessant, weil sich Shinhan hier nicht an die "üblichen Farbnamen", an die Holbein Namen kommen sie aber leider nicht heran. Es klingt blöd, manchmal ist aber auch der Name ausschlaggebend, wenn man Jahre lang täglich mit den Farben arbeitet, klingt manches besser als anderes. Ich werde die Farben weiterhin testen und euch dann noch eine Farbkarte inklusive Fotos hochladen und hoffe das euch meine Rezension helfen konnte. Dieser Teil meiner Rezension, versteht sich als eine Art Signatur meinerseits, in die ich mehrere Stunden an Recherche verbracht habe. Ich hoffe, das ich damit Anfängern genauso wie Fortgeschrittenen eine kleine Hilfestellung bieten kann und zwar geht es um "Preise für Aquarellfarben". Ich habe versucht die gängisten Marken und Produkte zusammen zu suchen und die Preise für jeweils das Set, den Preis für 12 / 24 halbe Näpfchen oder die Preise der Tuben, für euch übersichtlich zu gestalten. Die Preise habe ich aus dem gängigen Kunsthandel, den wir hier leider nicht nennen dürfen.
