| Video Discription | Today I have an in-depth swatch and comparison of the new 36 sets of Meiliang watercolor tubes: https://amzn.to/46idmwD These are refills for the set of 36 haf pans that I have been recommending enthusiastically for the past 7 years: https://amzn.to/40OmCHN (pan set) *Either would make a wonderful gift for a beginner watercolor painter as it will not hinder their ability to learn and the cost makes them not too "precious" to use. I wanted to see if the tubes were an exact match for the colors in the half-pan set and except for the fresh purple color they were! I found the fresh purple tube to be a bit more blue-leaning than the pan version (it actually matches the 2017 pan set better) All other colors were the same as the 2023 Paul Rubens 36 pan set I bought last summer. By the way comparing the 2017 and 2023 36 pan sets I found no quality difference but fresh purple and madder red were a bit different, the new madder red matches the tubes. You get 2-3x the paint in the tube set than the pan set, so if you have the tin already you might wish to refill it instead of buying another tin or maybe you wish to start with good quality, yet affordable tube paints and put them in your own palette. Pros: Price: the 5ml tubes are about $1 each Colors match well Pigment, transparency, and lightfast info included on tube The packaging keeps the paint safe and organized. Cons: I noticed slight scaling on colors 268, 090 and 103. This effect will be most pronounced when using lots of paint in wet washes. It resembles the silty effect you get when you use a granulation medium. I think it is indicative of excess filler in those colors. Bottom Line, The Meiliang Pretty Excellent 36 Tube set https://amzn.to/46idmwD is a good value for the money. You are not going to find this quality of paint for $1 a 5ml tube. That said if you are buying this to refill your pan set but find that you are only using up a few colors you might want to just buy open-stock tubes of similar colors. Currently, Paul Rubens doesn't offer open-stock tubes and if they did I am sure they would have to be much more costly per tube. So if you just want to refill a couple of colors I would suggest Van Gogh watercolors, they come in 10ml tubes and the quality and feel of the paint are very similar to the Meiliang/Pretty Excellent paints: https://shrsl.com/4b5q2 Of course you can only get 10 colors for the price of the 36 set of meilang but the tubes are twice as big. Honestly, you can't go wrong with whatever way you choose to go, I just want to recommend supplies that people will use because the only paint that is ever wasted is the paint left in the tube:) Try a class! https://lindsayweirich.teachable.com NEW!
