I started painting late in life and lacked confidence. Rachel paints from the heart and has inspired me to have fun even when my Easter chick painting looks like the Christmas turkey. We are so fortunate to live in an age when we have access to such an inspirational talent.

@rachelsstudiodotcom 2 года назад

That is so kind of you! And it's just that your painting apparently wants to be a turkey! Paintings have minds of their own!

@janehersey7456 2 года назад

@@rachelsstudiodotcom credit where it's due Rachel. My grown up son has noticed a real improvement in my paintings since I've been following your tutorials. My colours are less saturated, I use water more to move the paint around, more lost and found edges etc and your sense of humour is great. Take care.

@susanhamilton1822 3 года назад

I find that all of Qor paints fur out like that in water. It's the most flowing paint I have and I love it.

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

I've never tried that brand but now I may have to lol

@susanhamilton1822 3 года назад

@@rachelsstudiodotcom I love them. They go off like fire works but they can also be controlled just as other paints. I've tried many brands now and Qor and Daniel Smith are it for me. As for Sennelier and Schmenke I don't know why they are so expensive because I don't find them superior except in price. I would like to try M. Graham but they are not easy to find in Canada. Thanks for your great tutorial.

@sweetkorn. 3 года назад

❤️ I loved it. I think this isn't available here in India... I'd love to try it out sometime. Looking so satisfying and lovely

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

If you look for artist quality black made with the pigment Pbk6 it would do the same thing. It's this specific pigment that is important, more so than the manufacturer or paint name.

For example, mixing a red and green to make black.

@YosemiteLee Год назад

Hello Rachel 👩‍🎨🐥 (Or anyone who may know) How many minutes did you wait to apply the lamp black after wetting your paper? On the video it looks like painting lamp black came right after wetting. Thanks for this beautiful tutorial.

@rachelsstudiodotcom Год назад

Maybe 5 minutes? Experiment because it will depend on your climate too.

@YosemiteLee Год назад

@@rachelsstudiodotcom thank you Rachel for taking the time to answer a question about a video that was posted 2 years ago. You’re the Best!

@gmedha14 3 года назад

Hi, what is the reason for not using student grade for this? I just bought a tube of Cotman lamp black after watching one of your hacks videos and it states pigment as Pbk6 on the tube and does seem to create some sort of furry effect, though I haven’t tried it as per this tutorial, just a quick first impressions test.

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

I just don't use student grade paint as a general rule, but it definitely would be an interesting experiment to see how well they do compared to the professional paint! I've used student grade paints before and have been surprised with how nicely they perform!

@mariakellner5429 3 года назад

I do love lunar black by DS very granulating,I didn't catch the name of the photographer, thanks

Sorry to ask this here. I'm an absolute beginner have never touched a brush but i would love to learn, are there any videos/groups/online classes that would be good for someone who has absolutely no idea of what they are doing?

@cindylouwhobohl6983 3 года назад

So if the chick was wet also.....why didn’t the lamp black watercolor spread into the body of the chick? I have lamp black and want to try this.

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

If you just touch the paper with a paint filled brush next to the chick, the paint will explode into the tail. If you run the brush along the chick, it won't. As the paper enters the buckling stage, I drop tiny bits of clear water into the chick to help it fluff out even more. That pushes the paint out.

@lindsaypassarello733 3 года назад

You mentioned a lot of colors, paper, etc. Did I miss comments which recap them?

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

@duanebauman1159 3 года назад

@waymire01 3 года назад

You don't have to be forced to buy a particular brand most of the time. What you are really seeing a difference in is the pigment. DS lamp black is pure PBK6.. WN lamp black is a blend of PBK6 and PBK7... which is why it's close but not reacting quite the same. Additionally PBK7 is more transparent than PBK6 which is why it's drying lighter, more of the white paper shows through. There are many brands who sell pure pbk6. Ditto for the Aureolin... traditionally this color is made with PY40 which is not lightfast. The color Holbein calls Aureolin is made with a mix of PY154, PY175, PY150. These same pigments are available in other brands under other names including Indian Yellow and Azo Yellow.. and some other brands call it Aureolin as well, including Rembrant, Aquarius, Schmincke, and White Nights. The best place to get information on paints based off of pigment (which is the only way to know what you are getting) is Jane Blundell. Scroll down or pop info in the search box to be able to find exactly what you are looking for when it comes to color based of either actual hue or pigment. www.janeblundellart.com/yellow-watercolour-swatches.html I suggest reading through her website to get a more thorough understanding of pigments and paints. Additionally Handprint is another very good source of education including a complete list of the characteristics of every pigment including diffusion rates. handprint.com/HP/WCL/wpaint.html click the circle on the page to go back to the main page to read other topics.

@rachelsstudiodotcom 3 года назад

Thanks! I've read handprint through many times, so I'm actually pretty well informed about paint. I've also tried about 5-6 different blacks. Due to budget constraints I can't try all of them out there, but Daniel Smith Lamp Black is by far the best one I have found. Like I said W and N furs out MORE, but Daniel Smith stays darker, so I prefer it. That's interesting you say that you don't have to buy a particular brand most of the time if you're a fan of handprint, because he often puts forth a fairly strong opinion that a particular brand is the best for a particular pigment family. Handprint has informed SO MUCH of the paints that have a permanent spot on my palette. It's a shame he stopped updating it.
