Isaro watercolor review, my favorite colors, pros & cons. Fast paced informative narration by Robokim, my first TTS audio test! - supplies/links = show more - TTS? Sound a little fast, robotic or monotone? Due to health problems, I am not currently voicing my videos. Instead I have trained a text to speech program to mimic my voice using the program called "Descript". If you're interested in how that works, you can see a YouTuber test it out in his video "This Audio Editing Tool "Deep Faked" My Voice" at https://youtu.be/-7x3CbbR-ns Let me know in the comments if you think the audio was too fast/hard to follow and perhaps needs those couple second pauses more frequently. (I had 3 second pauses spaced between every paragraph of text or so, but they could be between every sentence or two instead). Voices get glitchy when overall slowed, but I'll be working more with Descript's program options in the future in attempt to provide the most pleasant voice over experience. Supplies I used or talked about in this video: Isaro individual tubes: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/isaro-watercolour-paint?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Isaro Jackson's set of 10 tubes: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/isaro-watercolor-paint-7ml-set-10-jackson-s-selection-colors?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Roman Szmal has more granulating pigment options: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/roman-szmal-aquarius-watercolour-paint?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 DaVinci at Blick USA has more affordable primary mixing basics: https://shrsl.com/2igwn My favorite brands specifically for smooth control, color to color blending and gradient washes: Sennelier: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/sennelier-watercolour-us?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 A Gallo: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/a-gallo-handmade-watercolour-paint?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 PAPER I mainly use Arches Cold Press you can find it on Jackson's UK - https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/arches-aquarelle-pads-us?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 or Blick USA - https://shrsl.com/2twqj A more affordable alternative = BaoHong academy cotton - https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/baohong-academy-pure-cotton-watercolour-paper-block-300gsm-20-sheets?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Porcelain palette with many small wells for easy color mixing: Amazon - https://amzn.to/32QbuAi or Jacksons - https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/jackson-s-ceramic-palette-no-26-3-5-x-4-in-and-lid?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Neptune paint brushes are a soft synthetic vegan imitation squirrel which hold an amazing amount of water! Brushes at Blick - https://shrsl.com/2tyw0 Jackson's - https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/search/?q=neptune%2Bbrush&___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Amazon - https://amzn.to/3mwldCY Waterproof ink favorites - Black Tombow Mono disposable pens: https://amzn.to/3vB35gz or Uni Pin pens on Jackson's: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/uni-pin-sketching-pens-waterproof-black?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 Colorful line drawings can be done with disposable Copic or Micron pens, but the most economical option long term is dip/calligraphy pen or refillable technical pen using bottled ink. I most often use very fine line width 01 fineliners or 0.20 tip size technical pens. R&K SketchInk is lightfast, waterproof and comes in many colors: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/rohrer-klinger-sketchink-50ml?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 White highlights: I use white gouache and a 3/0 princeton heritage round detail brush. I no longer recommend gel pens (blobs, skips, fixed line width). Any pro grade PW6 Titanium White gouache can be mixed with watercolor to tint your highlights. M Graham has a lovely white gouache that does not crack in the dry pan as badly as other brands, but Schmincke Horadam's pro gouache is a close second with superb quality. Schmincke Titanium White gouache on Jacksons (UK/worldwide) here: https://www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/schmincke-horadam-gouache-us?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 or M Graham white gouache on Amazon US: https://amzn.to/3rIw8wi or at Blick: https://shrsl.com/3ds5w I use affiliate links.

About This Video

In this video I’m doing a brand overview and review of Isaro watercolors—what they feel like to paint with, what kinds of colors they really shine in, and where I think they’re a little less practical depending on your style. I go through favorite colors, talk about pigments, and share the pros and cons I’ve noticed as I swatch and paint. If you’ve been curious about Isaro because you love texture, granulation, and interesting pigment behavior, this is the kind of brand that can be really fun to explore. I also talk honestly about who I think Isaro is best for (and who might want a different brand for smoother, more controlled washes and easy gradients). I mention alternatives depending on what you’re after—like Roman Szmal if you want even more granulating pigment options, or DaVinci if you’re building a more affordable, practical mixing palette. And yes—this video is also my first text-to-speech test (Robokim!), so I mention how I’m handling narration right now and ask for feedback on pacing and pauses.
