Review of Daniel Smith Watercolors & Demo (Chinese Lanterns)

Review of Daniel Smith Watercolors & Demo (Chinese Lanterns)
Today I am reviewing the Watercolor Essentails Set from Daniel Smith. The colors included are:
Hansa Yellow Light (col yellow)
New Gamboge (Warm Yellow)
Quinacridone Rose (Cool Red)
Pyrrol Scarlet (Warm REd)
Pthalo Blue GS (Cool "greeny" blue)
French Ultramarine (Warm "purply" blue)

Here is my basic split primary color mixing video: https://youtu.be/I6_CFsOX35g

If you want a more in depth course try the class Luminous Watercolor Mixing: http://www.craftsy.com/ext/LindsayWeirich_10169_CP

You can find a good deal on Daniel Smith tubes on Blitsy: http://shrsl.com/?~dauf
They also have the set I used at Simon Says Stamp: http://shrsl.com/?~daug
(but honestly, you can get the 6 tube set for half the price on Amazon)

I really like these paints and this set is perfect for clean bright mixes, perfect workhorse colors to start off with. The only negative I can think of on Daniel Smith paints is they are expensive but luckily they often have sales so you can keep a list and stock up when you find a deal. I alos love the discriptions they put of each color on their website, although warning, you might get talked into buying:) http://www.danielsmith.com/

This 6 color set is wonderful for beginners or experienced artists wanting to try and compare with basic colors. I'll say that the quality is excellent so advanced painters might want to try some of their more exotic pigments to round out their collections especially if you seek granulating colors.
