Nothing can beat the White Nights in terms of value for money. I have their 24 color palette. It includes 8 fully transparent colors and most of them are single pigment colors, which is rarely found in sets by other paint brands.

Want to share a secret? On White Nights, cheaper pigments are mixed in cadmium and cobalt, which just determines their low price. This has been checked many times by chemical means on their oil paints: the claimed composition of expensive pigments does not correspond to the actual content.

I've watched million reviews, still can't decide...I almost asked my sister to buy me the White nights, since they are cheaper there than cotman etc here (12pcs), but seems lots of ppl complain they are not very transparent. On the other hand cotman are small and hard, plus that white color nobody really uses . Would love to hear your opinion. Thanks

I use these a lot and find them to be as bright as any expensive brand. Best advice I can give is to buy a box, use them but when replacing the colours check for the lightfastness as a few of the colours are not good in that respect. Also there are a couple of browns that dry up pretty quick. But by replacing the colours selectively you can get great quality and save a lot of money.

Hello from Russia! White nights criticized for their tubes. You basically play russian roulette (pun intended) when buying them. Half of the tubes contain 8 or even 6 ml instead of promised 10! And the heads of company made a show with stupid formuls by which they "proved haters wrong" by getting a result of 14 ml in a 10 ml tube. This is ridiculous. There are a lot more bones to pick about white nights and the brand in general which started the fall of it's reputation in Russia. It's fine if these paints is perfect for you, but there are reasons for them to be criticized. No offence. Sorry my grammar, I don't speak English wery well. Have a nice day!

+Yasmine S. Better not spend too much money on watercolour when you're starting out. Just learn to use your current colours. Mixing on paper will be more exciting than in the palette. Reason being the colours will not mix completely on paper so you can still search each colour showing. You can definitely mix different brands of watercolour.

Not sure how many are pure single pigments, but many are transparent and flow well. They have become my new BBF while painting, over my WN Cotman and Daniel Smith.

I purchased these today and I must say that for students this is good value. I only have my Holbeins to compare them to and there is simply no comparison, Holbein wins hands down (but much more expensive 😬) I found the White Nights to be almost very saturated, however they became visibly spotty if diluted too much, unlike the ever evenness of Holbeins. But I guess I'm just spoiled by Holbein. The White Nights are still a good value and more than capable for most applications, but I personally wouldn't use them in a commission.

Good review, thank you. Just to rectify something you said, these are not introductory/student grade watercolor paints.These are artist grade with a lightfast rating and single pigments with honey and Arabic gum. These are comparable with M. Graham and Daniel Smith. If you'd do a comparaison chart, you'd see that many colors are actually more vibrant in White Lights than any other expensive artist grade paints. However, just wanted to clarify that these are not student grades - you may want to modify on your blog.

I know you have done another video about the box not being good for mixing colors cause while using if you don't dry the wells water will drip out form the box. Bu that is not a problem for me cause I've always make sure my wells are dry before I leave a site. Anyway I've started using Windsor and Newton and change to Kuretake Gansai Tambi, but after while got Daniel Smith which I love...I wanted a alternative and I think this one is great, not to mention that I've change my sketch book as well for water color paper and it makes a huge difference, my sketches are always kind of wash out cause the type of book I was using which I want to finish by the way.

Katherine Sullivan actually, nope, the carmine is PR 170:1 and madder lake red light is PR 187. I've got the little wrappers from the pans with the pigment info right in front of me. Random though, but Ruby in the 36 set is PR 170

Popular should sell those student grade paints which aren't too good. Go check out ArtFriend, Overjoyed Art and Straits Art. Search for them in Google Maps. They are all around Bras Basah area. There's another ArtFriend at Plaza Singapura.

Never worked with water colours before and I hoped this video would help me decide what brand to buy. But I still can't make up my mind whether I should by White Nights or Sennelier La Petite Aquarelle (similar price in my country).... Anyone any advice? :)

Hi, it's been a while since you posted this but thank you very much for the review! May I ask if these feel chalky when you touch them after they've dried? Also, between these and the Talens Van Gogh Pocket Box (the 12 colors in plastic case), which would you recommend? The White Nights are about US$9 more expensive than the Van Gogh where I can get them. Thank you for any advice you can give!

+Téa P. White Nights is not chalky when dry. Actually works like other brands of watercolor. Van Gogh is not as strongly pigmented compared to White Nights as such you are going to use up the paints much faster. Also note that White Nights pans, at least for this box, is double the size of Van Gogh half pans. So you get more paint even if it is slightly more expensive. But worth it.

Thank you for taking the time to reply; I really appreciate it! Good to know that the White Nights aren't chalky when dry. I read a couple of reviews where some people were experiencing either grainy or chalky surface after they dry so I was a bit worried about that.

I know it's been awhile since this vid was done, but does anyone know if Yarka/St P/White Nights makes their own empty full pans? All other full pans I've seen are too big to fit in the White Nights Palette (that's made specifically for their own pans). i have other tube colors I want to put in the WN palette, but nothing to use for pans.

Hi, did any of you find a few of the White Nights a bit sticky when you unwrapped it? It's strange to me. Plus their glue to hold their paper wrapper seemed like flaky light color toffee particles. Violet also looks super metallic.

Love your reviews! I’ve been watching them for a while! I’m a beginner, but I really want to buy some nice stuff to get better results... I’ve tried Koh-I-Knoor paints, that really helped me to try some watercolor’s technique! I got good results - even considering that Koh-I-Knoor is a student paint, not bad at all but too limited. I couldn’t choose a better one, tho. I’m watching a lot of reviews. Between Van Goghs and White Nights paints, which one can be more interesting to study watercolor and to get more like professional results? I need heelpppp ehehe thanks

Well I've bought an empty box and 14 half pans from Schmincke recently, and I realized the difference with cotman, that I used as student grade. In the end you got what you pay.. I think the best choice is the set from Prima, but they are more expensive in Italy right now
