“Very good value, good quality pigments, thoroughly recommended!”
Keith Hornblower tried Jackson’s Watercolour for making the painting in his video demonstration of a street scene.
Keith says:
“I only use tube colour, so I can’t comment on the pans, but my first impression on squeezing the pigments out was that they are a little more fluid than I’m used to. But having said that, the pigment strength was good; I paint with strong values so I need my darks to be dark and these water colours delivered admirably as you can see from my demo. Working with the paints, I found they behaved exactly as I’d want them to, flowing, layering and blending as well as any other paints I’ve used. I like the fact that honey is used in the manufacture. I allowed the pigments to dry out completely on the palette for a few days and they revived beautifully with just a quick spray of water. I get through a lot of paint and really like the big 21ml tubes. But what I really like is the fact that a 21ml tube of Jackson’s water colour is cheaper to buy than most of the big brands which come in smaller tubes. Very good value, good quality pigments, thoroughly recommended!”
