001900501 Extra Fine Watercolor 66-Dot Try-It Card, Multi Color

This is wonderful! I have been wanting to upgrade my watercolors but was hesitant to go all in on Schmincke or Daniel without testing them. Is the premium price worth it? What colors do I really need for naturalist work? Etc. These colors a highly pigmented, beautiful, and the dots are plenty to actually paint with as a trial. I did a little 5x7 watercolor and still have paint of the colors used. I know 3 or 4 colors I'll want half pans. I do wish they had multiple cards with different colors as I would buy more before deciding on the full color set of maybe 12 I want. Daniel Smith won me over as a customer with this dot card approach!

A great way to try out Daniel Smith paints. This dot card is very economical as the paint dots are quite large. Personally I could do will with fewer of the luminescent samples, but that’s just according to my preferences. Overall I still found this well worth the price and it gives me a great idea of colors I might want in a larger format. Wonderful paints.

This has been immensely helpful in learning more about watercolors without investing a ton on tubes I’ll never use. I can look at this card and see which ones I use the most and purchase those or explore similar shades and opacities. As a beginner, it is helpful to learn which are more opaque and understand the naming like iridescent shades. Knowing a description vs seeing how it applies on paper is helpful. When traveling, I’ve brought this instead of a ton of tubes. Best purchase so far in my watercolor journey.

This is a WONDERFUL foray into watercolors for those that aren't sure about such a costly hobby. Daniel Smith has been around for a long time - when I was in the military I loved the yearly catalog and there was always someone to answer questions at ALL levels of learning. To be able to have access to the whole library of colours at a tiny fraction of what the cost would be for just a few colors. Every level of watercolor enthusiasts can explore and enjoy professional quality paints too!

Awesome quality and color choice, great for travel. Every artist can find a use for these! Enough paint for at least 1-3. 8 x 10 pictures depending on how saturated you want the color, and I only use one or two dots per grouping and mix shades and tones, so this reallyy goes along way.

The only criticism I have is that some of the paint dots are so small/thin, and sometimes the paper is old/handled too much? they're difficult to get a nice swatch to see the full mass tone, or true color. Also if you want to attempt some mixing to see which pigments would suit your pallete, thats not always doable. Its fine for wetting them on the paper they're sent on, most of the time; but I've had more then a few instances where I'm scrubbing the paint off of the paper for every last bit of pigment, in an attempt to test them on my own paper, because there was an issue with the paper they came on, ( like spotting, maybe oil or some kind of residue? Sizing issues?where the pigment wouldnt stick and the color turned out splotchy, to the point it was difficult to see what it actually looked like.) and/or the paint dot was so thin it took one or two swipes of my brush to hit paper; like they just touched the residue paint off the rim of the tube and thats it. I completely understand the need to be conservative with the amount of paint for how many sheets that are likely made, but it would be nice if they were a bit more consistant. Because of the issues I've mentioned, I now test the paints on my own paper regardless of how much paint. There have been times where the swatch on my own paper looks entirely different then whats reconstituted on the paper it's sent on. It's typically not much of an issue, but it's happened enough that I'm questioning if the charts that I've gotten are just a bad batch? Or maybe old? Or is it just inconsistancies in the making of them? I don't know, but its worth noting I think to make sure your getting what you pay for and aren't surprised at any possible differences in the chart as opposed to the actual paint.

Love this sampler, price was great! Paint quality was awesome! I liked this product as it gave me enough colors to use and some I loved and then bought the bigger tubes of my favorites. Durability of paints on paper was very good! The size and look of paper was perfect with loads of different colors to choose!

I found the dot-sized samples to be consistent in amount. This is a great way to sample paints before committing to a whole tube or pan. I like to get mini-pans, put a dot of water in them, and then using a razor, I can razor off the dot into the mini pan and then I get the most out of the colors for a swatch and to use it on an actual watercolor to see if I like it! Once it dries, the dot melds into the mini-pan (which are the perfect size for dots!) and then I have a tiny mini palette. Granted, it's not a lot of paint. You aren't going to be able to paint a whole background on a 5x7 or anything with one dot, but it's a good way to get more use out of the dot than letting most of the color bleed back into the paper that it's attached to. And do I get some paper with my dots? Most of the time, yes. But does it affect my use of my little sample that I'm trying to see if I want to buy a whole tube of it? Nope! So it works for me and maybe it will work for you too!

I don't have to go buy all the tubes of colors. The 66-Dot Try-It Card is an easy and productive way to experiment with his colors before committing to buy the whole tube.

Está marca es de alto standing, su precio no está al alcance de todos pero este formato nos da la posibilidad de poder tener acceso al producto y ayudarnos a decidir si merece la pena la inversión en algún color concreto, si es verdad, que quizás en la gama de colores de este producto no está representada la paleta básica de trabajo o la más usual sino colores más "particulares", aún así por el precio que tiene merece muy mucho la pena tener la posibilidad de poder probar está gran marca

Bem interessante para testar as cores, vem umas cores metálicas muito bonitas!

Great to identify colours. A couple of spots obscured the colour name wish I could afford all these charts as they are so handy. Enough colour on spot to do a small area to try in actual painting

使用したことのない色を試せました。 私の好みの色があり嬉しかったです。原石の入っている絵の具はラメのような質感が入っており綺麗でした。
