A Watercolor & Sketching Creative Journey! Color resource. For the Sketchbook, Urban sketching & Art Supply obsessed! Working diligently to get a very large amount of swatches and color comparisons up, so that you have a resource when needing to add a color to your palette.
Please Join me on this creative journey. My favorite colors are found in a raspberry.
I think you could replace MH Perylene Maroon with Buff Titanium. You could mix the maroon colour with with either Venetian or scarlet with berry. Also you could replace Jackson Med Yellow with either a Yellow Ochre or a yellowy Raw Sienna. If you mix Phthalo Blue Red Shade and Dark Umber you may get a nice dark grey.
I live right near Sedona and paint there often. I'd personally drop the mid yellow and replace it with Transparent Yellow Oxide. That's a good color for desert floor. Buff Titanium would be nice but not sure what you'd drop for it.
Hey there, I'm in Phoenix and take trips to Sedona often. I was in Sedona and Flagstaff yesteday actually. Here is what you need: Like you mentioned, you need buff titanium to mix with the reds to give them a more solid, brick look. A darker green, a lot of the shrubbery there is very dark green. I would remove the violets. Yes, you should pull a yellow out, Sedona is not very yellow. Honestly I think you may just have way too many colros here for Sedona, haha.
Beautiful mixes! I think I'd replace med yellow with buff titanium since you can mix the gold and lt cad. Maybe swap cerulean for a rich, granulating ultramarine violet for sky, clouds, shadows? I'm curious what mixes you'd get if you replaced venetian with potters pink.... might make a neat subtle contrast for the rocks and also add interest to sand and the browns. Looking forward to seeing your final choices, such a beautiful landscape to work with!
Ooo I didn’t think of potters pink in there. I do think Buff is a replacement for the med yellow. And the violet would be an exciting exchange, good suggestion. Thank you!
Beautiful palette and timely with the Jackson's watercolors as they are on sale this week at Jackson's! Yeah, I agree to replace the Medium Yellow with something for sand like the buff titanium or if you have schmincke Desert Brown or Desert Yellow?
I would say a buff titanium to mute some of the colors especially for the gradients in the red rocks. I would also say a violet of some sort for flowers and the sky if you decide to do some sunset paintings :)
I was swatching mixes of my Sennelier paints, and discovered perylen brown & brown pink make a nice deep rust. Permanent alizarin crimson deep & brown pink makes a lighter rust shade, maybe a sand colour for that location? Also I heard somewhere that Jackson’s paints are manufactured by Sennelier. (I Could be wrong) Brown Pink, is the colour I’d suggest for your palette, replacing a yellow. Since it’s a greenish yellow.
No to Payne’s grey. But yes to buff titanium. But if it were me I’d get some of the Daniel Smith primateks that granulate so beautifully. They enhance the rock and make it look real. I love lunar earth and lunar red rock too. But I would look closely at the landscape and what you’re painting and get colors that will match. Piemontite, hematite genuine, burnt tigers eye genuine are some of my favorites! The colors you have are beautiful but not necessarily like rocks. Too bright.
I like more pink tone. A Gallo and Kremen are my fav. I already own Winsor Newton’s Potters pink and I don’t like it. It comes so much darker unless you’re very careful with diluting
The tin does have that look. Holbein says they don’t make student grade, only professional grade, but I don’t know? Maybe more like studio fun paints? Thank you Karen.
My favourite colour is French Vermilion it becomes a beautiful pinky coral. I am not an orange fan but I love a coral. I would like to add to my small collection of Sennelier watercolour paints. I want some unique colors which they seem to have. I have many watercolour paint brands which have the same colours. I do not like Phthalo colors and I am looking for different colors to replace them in my palette. What do you suggest as the top-loved Sennelier paints to have in your palette. I like to paint flowers, fruit etc.
Oooo the French Vermillion is so nice. Also some stand outs are. Naples Yellow Pbr 24, Brown Pink (dirty yellow), warm gray, green umber, bright red, ultramarine deep, perylene brown. I hope this is a fun list to look through, they are some favorites and original colors that Sennelier makes. Thank You.
if you're still answering questions on this i would love to know why you didn't get quin gold. was it cuz you felt it was too similar to another color you have or just not like it. thanks for sharing.
These are beautiful, I'm so grateful for the style of swatches you do, very helpful. I know is hard to find them right now and I can tell some people are getting frustrated to find them ,but I just want to remind people that they are just an art supply, be patient and eventually we will be able to get them .meanwhile just enjoy and be grateful we can at least see swatches :)
Have spent a considerable amount of time trying to track down the granulating Holbein watercolors and the empty Holbein palette you just reviewed. These items are nowhere to be found. The 24 Holbein watercolor set available is not a granulating set. Your viewers run the risk of buying a non granulating set of 24 paints. Please consider providing specific links to products found on non US websites. It is really frustrating to spend time viewing a video featuring products that cannot be found. Please provide necessary details so your viewers do not waste time searching for unavailable items, or risking buying items that are not ones featured in your video.
@@hannahthufvesson this empty palette they also sell with different variations of half pans, www.discovery-japan.me/category/select/pid/39783 thank you.
WG591 set is the NEW granulating watercolors. People in Japan can not even get them right now. Be patient and look forward to treating yourself to these come FALL(they say).
Oh, I would not get rid of that Canasias earth color. I think it’s absolutely beautiful! I guess we all have different tastes and different opinions. 😁
Tabitha - good luck with your move to Arizona! I am in green, rainy England so I dream about deserts - especially Arizona! I hope you are inspired by the new horizons in your paintings - love to see what you make!
Thank you Helen! It is inspiring here, the mountains, the sunsets and the plants. Oh so pretty. I’m taking vacation to England this coming winter, I’m looking so forward to seeing your lovely country for my first time.
Oh, beautiful painting! 🥰 I love Meeden's porcelain palettes. I have that large colour wheel palette (as seen in my avatar ☺), but when I bought it, they weren't yet selling lids. I wish they could be purchased separately. Thanks for the video!
I don’t think they should have released most of these paints. Which is a shame because I’ve been longing for some vegan paints from schmincke. I ignored the videos showing the streakiness due to my art supply obsession but I wish I hadn’t. I used several different of the best quality cotton papers and even diluted them right down to almost no pigment and still the gummy streakiness. The binder also dries at a different rate to the water so you get patches of dry paint then clumps of darker paint that takes ages to dry. I would only recommend buying these if you want a very pretty box and you want your artwork to have a faux-naive look to the finished texture. Two yellows are okay (of the two sets) and the blue is alright and a matte brown colour. The rest are honestly some of the worst paints I’ve ever used and I have a lot lot of paints. I find it hard to let go of art supplies I don’t use much (the PH Martin’s watercolours for example) but I’m considering selling these and losing most my money. In context the only other paints I ever gave away were cotman, and cotman are mostly better than these. Green earth is always a very pale pigment and often gummy but this one just dries so badly and clumps and you can’t get a nice fine wash with it. Wet in wet the paint doesn’t budge an inch.
You are right and I do think these paints could have been improved prior to release, the binder makes them so streaky. Thank you, you opinion helps everyone in their decisions.
i actually enjoyed hearing the g babies in the background ❤ thanks for swatching these grand beauties! I’m in love with indigo colors & lapis lazuli has me sold.
Prodigal Son periodically sells half and full pans of hard to find/extinct watercolors and pigment powders. I bought P049, PR102 (I think it’s called purple ochre ‘PO Pr’ is written on the half pan), and PB80 from there. PS also sells PB33 pigment powder. I have Da Vinci’s manganese blue mix (PB33 and PB15). Sometimes I feel like buying PS’s PB33 pigment so that I can mix it with the Da Vinci watercolor to increase the quantity of PB33. Though I’m not sure if I’ll ever do it!
I have some Prodigal Son. They are lovely. Have never tried his pigment powder though. I also like DaVinci Manganese and it’s beautiful also but a tad different. I will have to do a manganese comparison see how different they all are. Thank you shadowguard.
Wow I love your videos, such a great way to tell the difference between paints. Vermillion is my favorite color so being able to see how these all looks is great!
Moving is so draining and moving out of state or cross country is even more so. I have done it and it is exhausting and expensive. I did the same thing as you - I evaluated every item I owned and asked if it was worth it to move. I got rid of so much stuff and the only regret I had was getting rid of our treadmill. We also moved to a much hotter climate and it was quite the adjustment for the first summer. I think your palette needs a good middle to warm yellow. Thank you for the video. That Lapis Lazuli is stunning!
It has been a crazy time for me, but liberating unloading tons of stuff and loving the change. The Lapis is a wow for sure. Great pick, I’m thinking your right it’s needing a yellow. Thank you Terri.
I decided last month to give myself a gift so I got a 48 set of A Gallo! I love them and I am so spoiled, I did get my set from Jackson’s Art then I added to it I have a set of 58 and I use them daily. Yes they were very expensive but wonderful paints. They layer beautiful! Also I did my palette like you showed so I have them all in one palette. Love and light to you!
Oh nice! AGallo is beautiful paint and it’s great to squeeze them all together in one place. I think tightly packed pallets look so good. Big hugs Marsha.
I have DellaMagna and Gallo watercolors and I like them, but I don't know if their price is justified, perhaps if you are a collector it does. As for Wallace Seymour, I would like to know how you managed to get them, I would really want to buy this manganese blue. Thank you very much.
The link I put in description is a store that sells Wallace Seymour to the USA and Canada for sure. The Manganese is so lovely. Also Prodigal Son on Etsy sells the vintage Manganese on occasion as well. Hope this helps, thank you.
I also own some Della Magna and together with A. Gallo and Deep Deep Light they are my favourites. Though they are expensive they are all worth their money in my opinion. They are hand-made and very special. I think you can have so much joy with pretty colours, so compared to other things it‘s always worth it! But I admit I‘m really obsessed with colours… Good luck with your new situation!
Thank you. I agree, they are worth it. I love handmade watercolor and can feel the difference when I use them. It’s like a mini luxury in life to have some beautiful paint.
Thank you for showing these off! I have a few of the Della Magna myself, they are so fun. The Magnetite is one of the most interesting paints I've ever worked with.
These are all lovely colors, especially the lapis and manganese blue. The granulation of the manganese really shines on cold press paper. FYI - when you say Della Magna, think lasagna and you will have it right. I hope you survive Arizona in the summer! It is indeed a dry heat, but like a blast furnace🔥 The upside is that now you will never have mold in your paint😂
Yes! No mold. I just love manganese blue, and I was so surprised by the Lapis, so beautiful. I use to stay in, in the cold, now I guess I will stay in, in the heat. Thank you.
I mean, I get not wanting binder separation, it's inconvenient, but that has nothing to do with the quality of the paint. Larger pigmen particle size, or even fine pigmen size that are just denser and therefore heavier by volume will settle . There's literally nothing that can be done for that. Except use cheap dyes instead of pigments or make the tubes to order, the former I do not want, and the latter would make the prices exorbitant.
@@RaspberryColors I MASSAGE THE TUBE...for 5 minutes while shaking and turning up and down...from Jane Blundell...it seemed to work well...after uncapping SLOWLY...check for binder ...if you see that...recap asap...and do as suggested...reopen cap...squeeze gently....usually works...
