Pen & Ink Watercolor Poppy & DaVinci Paint Review

Pen & Ink Watercolor Poppy & DaVinci Paint Review
I had a request to review/use DaVinci Watercolors by a couple of viewers recently and since I have about 9 colors I thought Iwould.

I bought HUGE 37ml tubes of DaVinci watercolor when they first came out for about $6-$8 a tube. They were perfect because I was teaching watercolor. The price has gone up a lot since then but they still cost much less per ml thein other artist grade watercolors. I think I got super deals because they were ne to the market.

I recommend their mixing set which gives you 2 (a warm and cool) 15ml tubes of each primaries, Jerry's Artarama has that set for just under $40 and it is 3x the amount of paint than in the Daniel smith introductory set for about the same price. I bought the into set a few timesback in there day when I was teaching a lot but it came with 37ml tubes for the same price LOL! It pays to jump on some of those intro deals as long as you are willing to take a chance on the company!

*Both 15 and 37ml tubes are available, 37ml is a LOT of paint so it was good as a teacher but might be overkill for most colors. I will say that I had no trouble getting the caps off my paint and it stayed fresh in the tubes for a decade.

Bottom line, these paints are probably one of the best values in watercolors right now, they use top of the line, customy pigments and they are made in the usa.

You can see their full line of colors on their website and read more about their paints, they even have a sample set of 3 5ml tube for $9.99 if you want to try them out. DaVinci also private labels paint for other stores and companies (like American Journey) making them a unique company. https://www.davincipaints.com/categor...

Keep in mind you will likely get better pricing on the larger tubes of paints from Jerry's Artarama or your favorite online art store but they do have decent pricing.

I really can't find a negative with these paints, they have served me well over the years and since I had bought 37ml tubes they will last a while. They are my go-to paints for refilling my teaching palette and I never feel like I am sacrificing quality when I use them.

They are probably the best value for quality. I rate them just below M Graham and Daniel Smith but as good as other professional brands. Keep in mind that personal preference plays a big part in the paint you prefer.

Bottom line, I think I want to try their Sap Green and Burnt Sienna because I go through those two colors a lot and the 37ml tubes would be useful!

Disclaimer, this is NOT a sponsored video, and I purchased these paints. I linked to Jerry's Artarama because their price is %50 off retail and I think that is where I bought mine all those years ago.
