Isaro Watercolor Paints Review

Since Feb, I have been mainly using Isaro watercolor paints for my paintings and it’s been fantastic. It’s just over 2 weeks so maybe it’s relatively short amount of time to judge but with more than 20 (5x7) paintings, I can confidently say that I am very happy with this brand.

Isaro water-colours is Belgium brand and I bought mine which is a set of 10 tubes (7ml) from Jackson’s. They have it as Jackson’s Selection Colors. The colors that I have now from that set: Isaro Yellow Light, Scarlett Red, Ultramarine Blue, Phtalo Blue, Yellow Ochre, Venetian Red, Burnt Sienna, Isaro Pink, Payne's Grey, Orange Oxide.

Jackson’s Selection Isaro Color

I’m happy with current set but I wish they included one of greens as I’m using a lot of yellow light for mixing, it’s going to run out pretty soon!

I’m not so good at making a color-chart and if you are looking for more professional and in-depth review, I’d recommend one of Jackson’s Art review back in 2018. It has a beautiful colour-wheel and bright & lovely painting with Isaro. Check out the review: Zoe Elizabeth Norman Reviews Isaro Watercolors

As it comes as a tube, I have a choice of putting them into my half pan and dry them. The only downside of Isaro set I got is that as much as the quality is amazing, I wish it is little bigger like maybe 10ml instead of 7ml for starter. But again, I’m quite happy with the colour and consistency so no more complain!

My Isaro color-chart. - I missed out the white area for each of true colour as I’ve accidentally paint them anyway on the first row! (newbie alert!)

My top 5 favourite colour or mixed colours from what I have so far.

1. Ultramaine

2. Isaro Pink

3. Isaro Pink + Ultra marine / Payne’s Grey

4. Payne’s Grey

5. Ultramaine + Yellow Ochre

Some of my painting with Isaro. A couple of things that I love this paint is that it can be so “Earthy” and you can also make them “mono” which I enjoy a lot of my painting with Isaro. But you can also play as so Vibrant and Light. Personally I think Isaro Pink can make almost any colour interesting!

If you’re interested in trying out other watercolor brands for an experiment (that’s how I ended up buying this one) or out of curiosity simply, etc. I highly recommend for you to just try them out. You can also see how different colours turn out from my February painting gallery. Almost all of them are painted with Isaro.

I hope this helps your decision making process and if you end up buying it, ENJOY! :)
