**VIDEO** Watercolor Comparison – Shinhan Professional Watercolors & Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors

August 21, 2016

Hello there! It has been so long since I shared my last project with you here and I am so excited to be back. I took a long break while catching up my breath from a busy school year and to spend more time with my family. I am so happy to be back here sharing videos!

Today I am sharing quick thoughts on two watercolor sets I’ve been playing with; Shinhan Professional Watercolors and Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors. Before adding more explanation on this, I am going to let you watch the in-dept videos first! (click the video above)

I have been wanting to try these for a long time so few weeks ago I purchase both sets – they are about the same price range, so thought it would be a good comparison factor. Also, they are both manufactured in South Korea and well known among artists there!

You can definitely get smaller sets but since I am a “full set” girl (eh hem) I went for 32-34 color sets. You can see the full supplies list below.

I won’t repeat the same information I have in the video here. But basically they both have pros and cons, depends on what you are looking to get out from them. I love the price range of these, I think they are good mid-range products where you can do a lot more than cheap watercolors and get great color richness and brightness and do various techniques.

Below are quick points I noticed while playing with these:

  • Color – MijelloΒ has more brightness, intensity and boldness in colors than Shinhan.
  • Staining – Shinhan colors are much easier to lift them off watercolor papers than Mijello colors.
  • Lightfastness – Mijello tends to label theirs higher than Shinhan does with theirs. Only time will tell in this case, but since I won’t have projects layering around for years and years, this was a minor factor for me. (unless you want to give yours as gifts)
  • Color Gap – they tend to overlap really close in colors except couple of them. So you won’t need to buy both sets to fill in the gaps. I would buy one set and get individual colors (open stock) if you want to try both brands.
  • Transparency – Mijello colors have a bit clearerΒ and transparency then Shinhan colors.
  • While Mijello colors are brighter, bolder, and clearer, Shinhan colors are soft, muted, and give a more in-dept feel when used.

I would definitely choose one of the brands per your coloring style. I tend to lean more towards the Shinhan colors because I love the soft coloring. But if you are more of a bright color person, go for the Mijello colors.

I’d love to do more in-depth videos on these, if you like to see them! Feel free to leave me questions below and I’d be happy to test them out for you.

Thanks for stopping by!!

    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season πŸ’• sending hugs and loves to your way ❀️❀️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁

    Happy view πŸ₯°πŸ₯° New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ’œ #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! πŸ‘‹πŸ»πŸ‘‹πŸ» I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now πŸ’•

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. πŸ˜… Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! πŸ‘πŸ» While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy πŸ₯°πŸ₯° Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- πŸ’•πŸ’• I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not πŸ˜‚) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope πŸ™πŸ» I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead πŸ’™

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.
