Right up until now it has been challenging to get maintain of Rosa watercolour paints in the British isles and so we have included a variety of sets as very well as personal pans and tubes to our array.

Rosa Gallery Fantastic Artwork Watercolour paints

Testing the Traditional 21 Set

Sent in a metallic tin

So the very first detail to say is that the established is contained inside of a resilient, metal palette which is a bonus at this price position. It’s a wonderful high-quality tin with no sharp edges. The metal tin has two mixing surfaces and a thumb ring, producing it great for watercolour portray en plein air as effectively as in the studio. The wells are deep also so this reduces the danger of cross-colour contamination.

Unwrapping recommendations

When unboxing your Rosa watercolours I propose that you keep the pan on the brief aspect between your thumb and index finger and then eliminate the paper wrapper. The wrapper is perforated down the shorter aspect. You will be remaining with a compact sticker at both close of the pan which tells you the pigment code, lightfastness score and transparency on just one stop and the colour name and solution code on the other finish. It is definitely useful to keep these for when you want to swap a pan.

The colours involved in the Typical 21 established

The Basic 21 set consists of 12 solitary pigment colours, 2 granulating colors and 18 colors rated as the highest lightfastness. The set has a great mix of primaries, secondaries and earth colours which include a amazing and heat versions of colours. There is a colour swatch sheet incorporated in the established so you have a useful reference when portray.

My favourite colors were the two granulating pigments Colbalt Turquoise & Ultramarine and the Quinacridone Gold. The two blues granulated nicely leaving a attractive texture. The Quinacridone Gold has a warm glow ideal for glazing in excess of other colours.

The pans are marginally tacky to the touch and wet up incredibly swiftly. I give my palette a spritz with water in advance of I begin and simply because they’re entire pans I can swiftly make adequate combine for a wash. After dry I found the colours re-damp quickly and the non-staining colors lifted properly.

Mixing secondary colours

I then played all around in my sketchbook mixing some secondary colours. A wide assortment of greens can be mixed which is suitable for landscapes as perfectly as some lovely oranges and purples.

I also swatched the Rosa colors together with the colours contained in the 36 established of White Knights. Even though there was not an exact match for some of the colors, you can see numerous of the colours are a quite near match. The Rosa established also has Quinacridone Gold which is not designed by White Knights and is normally only found in far more highly-priced watercolour ranges.

Testing wet in soaked

I was intrigued to see how Rosa paints done damp in moist. As you can see from the visuals higher than the paint dispersed very well building some amazing textural curiosity. The paints also merged nicely when two colors had been swatched facet by side.

All round I am impressed by the top quality of these paints

I simply cannot hold out to attempt out some of the other colours much too (I have my eye on the Coral and Aureoline which is created working with a non fugitive pigment). The value of these paints is also amazing contemplating they have this kind of a significant pigment ratio. If you are a rookie I would significantly contemplate buying the set of 12. You will be paying out somewhat far more than other starter kits but you are having entire pans and a large amount of pigment.

If you are a White Knights admirer, and I know there are lots of out there, you will not be upset with Rosa paints. With the same superior pigment load, huge pan dimension and low selling price Rosa are quite related to White Knights. The excellent information is that the Rosa pans will in good shape into your White Knights palette also. Don’t miss your likelihood to seize our remaining White Knights stock. 10% of the sale proceeds will be donated to the Globe Eyesight Ukrainian Charity.
