Great explanations about glazing. Love the Batman’s originals. What a job!

This is the most comprehensive travel kit I've come across in a while

*Q: Does anyone know if the current stuff Holbein sells now has a better "snap-shut" closing??? :) thanks!!*

💡I once had the WN “all-in-one kit” which went missing whilst travelling. When I replaced it, I chose to purchase the less costly WN Cotman version ($74 vs $21 USD). As I have my own palettte of DS artist paints, I gave away the included Cotman half-pans. The boxes are identical except for the colours. If you don’t care about appearances (dark blue vs. all white), the Cotman version is a nice money-saving alternative.

Nice video. What is the size of your bag? Looked it up on Amazon and they had two sizes, a 14" and a 17". I was curious about what the size your bag was. Thanks for the video.

I must try using staining colours in order to layer better. I often put some granulating colour down and the second layer just lifts it off. Though I tend to agree with Bruce MacEvoy on Handprint ‘luminosity myth’ that light doesn’t pass back through the paint matter and make it glow more.

Is that a 3.5 x 5.5 sketchbook? Something smaller? Just trying to get an idea of what will fit in that bag.

To solve the problem with non magnetic paletts, just glue a flat magnetic at the bottom of the palette and voilà you can stick the magnetic water reservoire to it.

Where I can find this little case, it's a good case, very organized and convenient size! I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing your setup. I'll be taking a few ideas from it. 😊

I would say the Perla for details and the Ultimo for washes. A size 6 Perla and a size 10/12 Ultimo would be a nice versatile travel brush loadout. I have the Jackson Artica size 6, which is the Escoda Perla made for Jackson's by Escoda for lower price. I wonder if Jackson's has an Ultimo clone 🤔

The Jackson Artica travel brush is a clone of the Escoda Perla. It is made by Escoda, so you can get a "Perla" travel brush for a really good price that way. Same thing for their regular Articas. I have a bunch of them, and they are exactly the same. If only they held more water, they would be my "go-to" brushes...

Very useful video, saved me so much time! THANK YOU

Love this and lyric references!!

Sure would be nice if you shared links to some items.

I saw the #6 reserva at a good price (€36) and was tempted to buy but then I saw the animal abuse that goes into kolinsky now I'm leaning much more towards the versatil.

How heavy is it? Looks like just shy of 5 kg

I know this video is 4 years old at this point, but the reason the paint "tins" are magnetic is because they are made of steel, not tin. That's why they rust if the enamel gets scratched. Tin is one of the group of metals that are not magnetic. At one time, cans of food and little boxes of mints or candy were often made of tin, so people called them "tins," and the name just stuck. These items haven't been made of steel for quite awhile (mid-20th century, I think). Some steel cans are alloyed or plated with tin to prevent rust, though - or galvanized with zinc. It kind of boggles my mind that tin is more expensive than steel, because the word "tin" metaphorically conveys cheapness and low quality, while "steel" conveys strength and solidity.

I love every one of your paintings. Yoda looks IDENTICAL ‼️ You don’t seem to be very happy about some of your works… BUT THEY’RE GREAT. I love the bear in the water, the Japanese toy, your dog…, I like them ALL A-LOT! - You’re very talented. It was fun seeing your work. Thanks

Really lovely artwork.

I bought a batman and Robin without clothes and made them outfits one day I will send for their outfits

Muchas gracias, aunque no se inglés me sirvió igual la comparativa. Entonces el perla aguanta más agua de lo esperado y tiene buenísima pinta para delineados. El prado y versatil aguantan parecido en agua pero el prado hace mas fáciles los trazos y el último contiene muchísima agua y es bueno para espacios amplios pero no para delinear o terminaciones. Gracias total para asi elegir mi pincel ❤

LOL you got me in that intro till the brush part lol. New subscriber here. Love your channel. Edit: I've just watched the last part of this video. I am even more a fan of your channel now. I love comics art.

Apparently, not just portable watercolor palettes -. ULTRA portable watercolor palettes. Worst sales pitch ever.

Thank you for this. Useful.

what I learnt back in my days at art school was that when comparing synthetic to natural brushes your synthetic should be larger than your natural brush. Like that you'd find out how to make use of their specific properties. … there are various different kinds of apples out there, I guess ;-)

I still have a No. 250 that I bought in Tokyo in the mid-90s for 2200 yen, which then was around $18 - $20 USD. I kept the box to keep the palette closed due to it not snapping shut, and the pice sticker is still on the box. The corners of the wells have started to rust over the years, probably one reason why Holbein switched to aluminum. I ground off the rust using a Dremel tool and used some white Tester's enamel paint to cover the spots. I'm going to Japan in June and hope to pick up one of Holbein's new plastic palettes that has customizable half and full pans.

You can see the size of the box compared to your hands. They're so tiny and cute, perfect for travel. In other videos the box looks deceivingly bigger.

Lovely

Joe Miller, from Cheap Joe's...fun fact: I was ordering from him when he was sending out a catalog that was copied on a Xerox machine and hand-stapled. They used to include all kinds of freebies back then. I even may have had a hand in helping him start his "Brushes for Vincent" project WAAAAAAAY back when. This was fun. Gotta love watercolors on the go 😎

thank you for the comparison. fyi anna bucciarelli did a detailed comparison of the reserva vs versatil. in trying to find the video, i searched sable vs synthetic watercolor brushes & saw several other YT comparisons of various brands which i intend to watch. i enjoy watching the demos to help inform me of what i may like to try. i know that in the end, the choice is personal.

enjoyed the comparison. i noticed Blick carries an Escoda Signature Set #1 for Joseph Zbukvic. 3 Perla brushes - round 8 & 12, and a travel round 10. msrp $85.03, the usual sale price of $62.12 which sounds reasonable to me.

Hi Brian. It's been a long time since we heard from you. I hope you are OK. There is nothing wrong buying something you love. Cheers.

Solve all your magnetic issues with some of these with a cheap 3M stick on metal plate generally used for cellphones.

30x30 what? Eagles or Freedom? Jokes aside your channel deserves more attention, you have really lovely work! Also your B(eagle) is adorable, I have a scen hound breed myself so I fancy it a lot

Many metals rust so fast in the tropics.

Thanks for make this video it's very helpfull. I never try this brand before because it quite expensive but exchange with good quality and there are a lot to choose from..

friendly heads up: ur info at the front of the book is still visible. lovely travel pack otherwise!

Buenas...me regalé para navidad el set de Charles Reid que son 3 pinceles reserva números 6, 8 y 10. Lo conseguí a un súper precio de 152€. Su precio en Arte Miranda es de 267€ con rebaja, sin rebaja más de 300€. Por consiguiente un chollo de precio, supongo que la tienda en la que compré no subió el precio en años. Estos pinceles al ser naturales, se inflan de agua al igual que sucede con los petit gris de ardilla. Por eso, aparentemente pierden la forma puntiaguda. Hay que escurrirlos un poco para que no se empapen tanto, y de nuevo toman su forma puntiaguda. Tienen una enorme capacidad de retención de agua, únicamente comparable con los petit gris. El punto o nervio es muy bueno. En fin, un buen pincel pero carísimo. Si no tienes otros vicios como beber o fumar, viajar y etc. te puedes dar un capricho de vez en cuando. Muchas gracias por el vídeo. Saludos.

I tried so hard to find Holbein 1000 but now they are not available for steel. 😞. Could you review their Holbein Aluminum new palette?

I have the 250. Still boxed, unused. Too pretty to get it dirty... 😊

On the plastic travel kits, you could super glue a metal washer onto a flat spot to use your magnetic cup adaptation.

Incredible artist, love your style.

Where did you get the bag and where did you get it’s contents?

Squirrel!!!! Woof woof woof😂

Thank you for showing all of these! And for the hack how to hold water on 10:40

34:02 wow, that was unexpected really 😅😅😅

I condider a business card holder with eyeshadow tin cans the vest portable palette

Green with envy

Thanks for sharing. Great kit, been using one very similar for years, now downsizing drastically due to age. Jo in France 🇫🇷
