Lighthousecove handmade watercolor paints - a review.
About a week and a half ago I found the listing for a "farmers market" handmade watercolor palette. I fell in love instantly with the colors. The colors were; heriloom tomato, golden carrot, woven basket, and olive tapenade.
Now to get into first impressions,
The packaging was amazing. It came in a pink bubble mailer and inside was a small card, with a thank you, a sample of another color named "the raven", and a drawstring bag.
The drawstring bag contanied a small candy (thank you!) A floral sticker, a roll of wasi tape and, well, the palette!
You can see a lot of the thought went into the packaging alone. It was very thoughtful and I loved it a ton!
Now lets get into the paints,
I've only had experience with handmade watercolor one other time, and they were not my favorite. The colors were too granulated and you couldnt get more than one tone because it started out so light. So buying more handmade had me worried. But being just so inlove with the colors made me jump at the chance.
First off, the pans were well filled, so id have tons of color to last.
They activated quickly, and when i picked up a color it didn't cause a whole bunch of paint to come up like I've had with other paints.
And then I placed them on the swatch paper, and they were vibrant, and could fade to many tones and dried quickly with no harsh granulation.
In short, I was so happy that not only could I love the colors, I could love the way they worked too!
I would 100% buy from this seller, and would suggest you do to if your looking for something just a little more special.
Not only are the products great, the seller was super nice and responded fast to my messages.
Do you want to see me unbox this palette? I made a video of it you can find here;
pphew! sorry for the late reply to these >.< i figured id just reply to all these in one post with some pics. Below are the watercolors i use and the the gold paints (keep in mind those pics i posted were like first attempts @_@ im still getting used to these…)
The water colors are Mjello Mission Gold Watercolors in the 34 tube set and the gold palette are the FineTec Artist Mica Watercolors in the Pearl set.
Now I’ll state first– both these sets are kinda pricey. The FineTec palette (about $27) is so worth it though because it comes in different golds and one tube of gold gouache is usually like $9 each or more depending on the amount of mica, so def worth the price and variety.
Below: from lightest to darkest on ivory tinted paper [Silver, Moon Gold, Gold Pearl, Arabic Gold, Tibet Gold, & Inca Gold] they look SUPER outstanding on black paper as well!
my fav is the richest one, the Inca Gold.
They are super nice, but if you plan on getting them, they are super HARD palettes! It’ll take a lot of scrubbing to get them activated and to have that nice gouache-like thickness, so if you don’t want to ruin your nice brushes, I def recommend getting some Ox Gall. Adding a drop or two of this will get them activated in no time, and with a nice opaque thickness. (the brand I have below they dont sell anymore, but other brands still make it)
As for the water colors, ehhh i feel weird cuz those vegetas were like my first attempts with this brand. Ive always used the Sakura Koi 24 color set palette because theyre super nice and super cheap (like $20) and Ive had them for years. I only got these because I wanted higher-grade watercolors in tubes. But they are very expensive, but for good reasons: they have a lot of pigment, which makes them so vibrant and bright and theyre designed to be very close to natural colors, not to mention theyre so SMOOTH when painting and they’ll probs last me forEVER because you get so much color with very little water.
(opera is best color IMHO) here’s a color chart I made (that took FOREVER btw) to give you an idea how beautiful they are and how many nice colors they make
so yea! those are the paints I used for those particular pics. Course if you would like a nice, cheap watercolor recommendation that works pretty well, Sakura Koi’s are a fantastic substitute. …..SORRY IF THIS WAS LONG i just akdfhalkfhd i like talking about traditional media..lol. hope this was at least a little informative >.< if anyone has questions or wants some recommendations (while also saving some money) feel free to ask! I’ll help in any way i can with what i know, cuz despite posting mostly digital art, I am a traditional art supply FANATIC.

All I need to draw outdoor with watercolors.
Unpacking today, love messy palettes. Would you believe me if I said there are three more boxes of art stuff?
