LUKAS 1862 vs LUKAS Studio Watercolor Review & Comparison
In this video I will compare the LUKAS 1862 Artist quality watercolor paints with the LUKAS Studio student grade line of paints. I am using the 12 half pan travel sets which happen to contain the same colors.

Please note: I was not asked or compensated by Lukas or Jerry's Artarama to post this review. These findings and opinions are my own.

I am comparing the Lukas Aquarelle Studio set of 12: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/lukas-a...

With the LUKAS 1862 artist grade set of 12 half pans: http://www.jerrysartarama.com/lukas-a...

Price: (12 half pan travel sets)
LUKAS Studio retail: $23.05 (Sale $11.99)
Lukas 1862 retail: $87.50 (sale: $42.29)

I found both sets of paint comparable. I decided to investigate their lightfastness and both lines of paint had excellent or very good lightfast ratings on their paints. I will post links to the LUKAS info with light-fast/transparency/pigment compisition info below. Please note they use a sale of ***=excellent and **=very lightfast

The major difference between the lines is the 1862 has more colors. Also I reckon that the studio like must have more fillers to justify the price difference and I did see a bit more chalkiness on the black on some of the studio colors (magenta, viridian, cad yellow, cad red) but honestly not a lot. Also some of the colors between the sets were a bit different so maybe lesser expensive pigments were used on the studio version, for instance the 1862 lines uses real cadmium pigments in CAd. red and cad. yellow but those colors in the studio line are hues (synthetic replications of the pigments.) It does not worry me though with the high lightfast ratings. Upon further investigating I found that both the studio ad the 1862 lines use the same pigments except for the cadmium colors but the pigments used in the hues are the same as the pigments in permanent red and permanent yellow light in the 1862 line respectively.

Both of the LUKAS sets were more opaque than I prefer in a watercolor paint. If you look at the color charts I linked below you will see that few of the colors claim to be a truly transparent color, come are semi transparent, semi-opaque and opaque. You might prefer this, it is personal preference but I generally like a very transparent watercolor. Still, these are a great buy and the next time I need to order watercolors for a class I will buy the studios without hesitation.
