Schmincke Watercolors: What's Worth It After 6 Years of Portrait Painting

After 6 years of painting watercolor portraits, I’ve narrowed 32 Schmincke Horadam colors down to the ones that actually earned permanent spots in my palette — and the ones I’d skip entirely if I were buying again today. This is an honest Schmincke watercolor review from a working portrait artist’s perspective: what’s truly worth buying, what’s situational, and what I think is overrated after years of studio use. In this video: → My non-negotiable Schmincke colors for portrait painting → Which colors I stopped reaching for — and why → The PV36 pigment overlap issue (you may be buying the same color twice) → Why some premixed colors outperform hand-mixing in real paintings → How I actually use these colors in watercolor portraits 🎨 Full Schmincke color list mentioned in the video: https://shortifyme.co/0Row2 I organized all the paints into one Blick list so you can browse everything in one place instead of searching each color individually. 😊 Colors discussed include: • Potter’s Pink • Ultramarine Finest • Cobalt Turquoise • Super Granulating Colors & more If you paint watercolor portraits — or you’re trying to build a smarter palette without wasting money — I hope this helps. #watercolor #schmincke #watercolorportrait #watercolorreview #schminckehoradam #portraitpainting🎨 Next video: My Watercolor Supplies Kept Betraying Me — Here's What Actually Fixed Them Subscribe so you don’t miss it →    / @miwagardner   - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 🫧Connect✨ Website → https://www.MiwaGardner.com Podcast → https://pod.link/1764257886 Instagram →   / miwagardner_art   Pinterest →   / miwagardner   Newsletter → https://www.miwagardner.com/subscribe Business inquiries → [email protected] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ART SUPPLIES 🎒 My Full Art Supply List: https://tinyurl.com/esmppz56 📄 Paper I Often Use (Baohong-made, hot press alternative): https://go.meedenart.com/4rCg1NG (Some links may be affiliate links at no extra cost to you:)))
