This is a swatching video of Schmincke’s new collaboration palette with New Zealand abstract artist Evan Woodruffe – known for using bold and vibrant colour. It contains 9 half pan single pigmented colours in a compact palette. If we ignore the marketing title “Ultimate Mixing Set”, this is a rather wonderful palette. All 9 colours are less common colours among Schmincke’s other premade palettes. Only two colours are repeated compared to even the 48 signature set. The 9 colours are standout and unique in their own way. Four of them are granulating pigments which enables you to create mixes with a trendy granulated look. This makes a great addition for someone working with only a limited basic palette.
As an “Ultimate Mixing Set”, the colour selection is not your typical core mixing colours. Arguably, it could be seen as a modern CMY triad along with a nice selection of other colours. Then, the only thing puzzling me is the choice of mixing yellow. Turner’s Yellow has an opacifying character in mixes that often leads to an undesirable chalky look. In contrast, a mid-yellow like Nickel Azo Yellow PY150 with Quinacridone Magenta and Phthalo blue, would have resulted in a more compatible harmonic choice for a transparent high intensity triad. That being said, as there are 9 extra spaces to personalise, it can certainly become one’s own ultimate customised palette. Therefore, the name is somewhat misleading, but the palette is a joy.
Hope my video helps some of you if you are considering it. Enjoy life one beautiful colour at a time!

The tin looks like a lunch box, I hate it 😭
This was a nice video! I enjoyed the aesthetics of it, and I definitely found a few colors I'm going to check out. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
What other colors would you add to this palette?
Nice swatching! Putting washi tape on sharp edges help. PS, I did a light fastness test on both PR 202 and PR122 in several watercolor brands, nearly 8 months in south facing window during longest warmest days of the year. PR202 is not more light-fast than PR122. In fact, my Schmincke Purple Magenta PR122 didn't fade. The PR202 faded slightly.
very, very nice. Karen from Canada ☺☺💖💖
They look like lovely colours and I was really hoping you’d do a full painting, it’s the only way you are going to get a real idea of how the colours work together, swatching doesn’t really give you any indication of how the colours complement each other or blend well together, this is only seen by doing different paintings…
Thank you for the video- loved all of your mixes! I got that palette a few weeks ago and played a little bit with it. I miss my Nickel Azo Yellow in it – like you said in the video description. But overall I'm very happy with the set!
This brand is sooo expensive here in Brasil, for the price that package shouldn't hurt the user, I think the lid should be flat inside!!!!
It is you that do the sample card? I just saw they in your videos!!! Can you do a art colection , storage tour?
Thanks for this. I look forward to some mixing, as you describe in the subtitles. I have all the colours as tubes, so I will try some mixes. It is strange that an "ultimate" mixing palette does not have any earth tones. I miss burnt sienna or yellow ochre, or raw umber to get those warm dark darks that perylene green does not reach. I read that this palette was a collaboration with an artist. Perhaps this is good for florals…but for anyone doing urban landscapes, natural environments or animals, there are several shades missing. By the way, try using some black electric insulation tape on the shap edges. They will feel smooth and will give you a lot of extra protection.
The mixes are really beautiful, I really should try some of these 😍 (I currently own potters pink and Quin. Magenta from Schmincke) .
Wow… a NZ collab w/c set! Being a Kiwi, I was excited for a hot minute….and having never heard of Woodruffe, i rushed to take a quick look at his website to see what I was missing out on… But… I mean, well… i guess I can say the colours he uses are nice and wouldn’t look at all out of place front and centre stuck with a magnet to his proud mum’s fridge. 🤔 I guess I don’t understand the intricacies of abstract squiggles a kindergartener could do and appreciate it as high art…
Lovely video, but I have a tip how to install the pans. You don’t put them in like this, you need to bend the metal bar inwards, and then press the pans in. This way this little clip at the top of the metal bar grabs the pan and they really click in and are arrested, so that they cannot move any more. Btw, which paper did you use for the swatching card?
That is a lovely orange.
Wonderful video. Would you mind sharing where you got those mini swatching cards with the holes punched in? Much appreciated. Thank you.
OK. WHERE did you get those swatch tags! I need those in my life!😄😄
Lovely set ❤
And I loooooved you tags! I’ve been wanting a cut machine for ages. Now I want it more 😅😂
Your video editing is fantastic. Great shots, lighting, mood, I even loved the sound effects. It was very relaxing and informative. I think it would be a step better with a voice over instead of the text, but I realize that's a lot more work.
Can you add a link for the tag dies you used? The swatches look great.
Very beautiful but definitely not an original split primary. I looked through the description for the swatching tags that you use but couldn't find any info about them. Could you please let me know where you get them? It's a great way to keep mixes with the palette or just for fun color inspiration. Have a wonderful day and thanks for reviewing these.
You don’t narrates that unusual palette beautifully!! Thanks for showing all of those beautiful color combinations!! I loved this video!!

Love your nails! Great music.
Great video! I never would have thought of these colors as an ultimate mixing set, but love what you did… Where did you get those tags?!
I just ordered mine at a great price on Jackson’s. Can’t wait to get it. I have another “Special Edition” set that I love ❤and some of the super granulating colors too! Schmincke is one of my top brands! Keep making these “Special Edition” curated sets. They’re great!
Where can I find some of the swatch tags to do my own mix? Thanks! 😊
You make everything beautiful!!!❤
Hmm definitely not a fan of the colour choice for this set. For an 'ultimate mixing set' it leaves a lot to be desired. But the tin is lovely, I hope they sell empty ones with this design!
It's 1am.i should go to bed, I already got a 48set of schmincke, but I'm mezmerized with your video….
Hi!
Love your videos! They bring me much peace and joy.
Would you mind if I ask where do you get those super cute watercolor paper tags you use for swatching colors? Or do you make them yourself? If so, would you please consider showing how do you make them?
Thank you so much and congratulations for such an amazing content. 😊
I love a color selection of this set. I like the fact these are not the standard colors you find in any pallete.
Did you punch and press those tags yourself? supercute🌸 ( ya. great palette range ) cheers🌴💦
Stunning work! I’m glad I found your channel..👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰🥰
I do love Schmincke, but I’m surprised they included two blues that are so close to one another.
Such a nice video! love the colours in this set! I do not yet own a set of schmincke paints but would love to, do you think this would be a good first set or should i maybe get the "normal" 12 or 24 set?
This is a great and soothing video. I have this set and love it. I really with you'd show the mixing part so that we can see how much you are blending before putting paint to paper. I'm wondering if your first swipes are of the single color or already mixed? Can you tell more about that. Thanks.
Nice quality video, very well put together and very relaxing to watch. Thank you!
thank you for the video
Beautiful and relaxing ,some very surprising mixing, I'm finding how useful potters pink is for mixing 💗. Actually I have a few of these pigments already so I really just need 4 to make that same set. To bad the tin has no rolled edges ,these sets can be expensive and they should have made more of an effort in my opinion
Have a creative weekend, love your videos
Heather
Your sketches and judicious use of the color mixes enhanced each part beautifully. ❤
PR122 is totally lighfast , a year of test in full sun in the south of France … that’s ridiculous really!!! It’s just because this pigment is used in conjonction with fluo dyes to make opera rose/pink that it gas so bad reputation(only with some “watercolourist”) That’s really unfair.
Excellent video. I’m so grateful for the lack of drivel that accompanies too many videos. This was lovely to watch. Running out to get these!
Well. I had to get it 🙂 Jackson’s was a great price. Thank you for linking it.
💪 𝐩𝓻Ỗ𝓂Ø𝓈Ｍ
A lovely video! It realy helped me relax a little.
This set introduced me to a bunch of great colors I would have never considered buying. Man, I wish schminke was cheaper here in the states.
Vielen Dank für die schöne Vorstellung der Schminke Farben, ich bin begeistert gerade von den verschiedenen Farbmischungen. Ich könnte mich nicht entscheiden. Super sind die gemalten Bilder.
