Daniel Smith or Prima Watercolors ?

Hello and happy Thursday everyone!! 

I am stopping by to share a couple of 

watercolored cards I created. In between my Copic

coloring, I have been practicing and trying out new 

watercolors. 

Do you have a favorite brand of watercolors? 

I am going deeper into the wonderful world of watercolor, the talent is AMAZING. 

I have been curious to expand my collection. 

I have been hearing wonderful things about Daniel Smith 

and Prima watercolors. I usually use Winsor&Newton or Kuretake Real Brush Pens. 

I do love those brand. I am just curious to try new brands and see how they work. 

I am also catching up on creating birthday cards. The cake image from 

the Concord & 9th Happy Day stamp set was perfect for the theme and to practice with 

the new watercolors. 

This is the card I colored using Daniel Smith colors. 

I should have written down the colors I used as I was using them ( I apologize if I forget any, I will remember to write them as I go next time).

I tried to use the similar colors. 

For the Daniel Smith colors I know I used Deep Scarlet, Permanent Brown 

(these are now two of my FAVE colors) and Indigo along with Payne's Blue Gray

for the flowers. 

 This is the prima watercolored one. I used the Decadent Pies, Tropicals, and Classics sets. 

For the flowers, I used from the Decadent Pies Guava Meringue, Apple, Pecan, and Blackberry. 

I am very impressed with both brands. 

I can't pick a favorite. 

I love the colors, how they blend, the different look of each one. 

I am hoping to color another of these images using Winsor&Newton colors, I need a couple more to match this color theme. Once I have those I will color the image and share all three cards side by side. 

For the Daniel Smith colors, they are an investment. I asked the super talented Rubeena from a Rare Ruby's craft blog what watercolors she used and recommends. She suggested the dot chart, and it is absolutely worth it! I was happy to find these and the dot chart at a local art store( LOVE it). Now I have a wishlist. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! 

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!!
