Looks like ***** winning mixtures. PB83 will just continue to be a pigment of my imagination. Adding this to my permanent list of favorites. Your Summer haul 2024 video has a lot of great information too.

I Love these mixing videos...I still consider myself a newbie to water color and watching how you mix all the colors makes me realize I won't need a million different pallets of paint to get the colors I want...I save all the mixes so I can refer to them later on...thanks Angela for making these videos it helps a lot...HUGS HUGS HUGS from sunny warm NS...I hope you have a great day

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

You definitely don't need all the different palettes of paint. I am glad these are helping. Good day from your neighbor in sunny Maine.

@polgara28 26 дней назад

Awesome! Excellent recommendations for substitutes. I really wish I had some Random Grey to send. Anyone? My favorite is adding potter's pink to the mix for granulation. A trick I wished I'd known a lot sooner. Did a whole study on it, where I added viridian to greens, pp to pinks and reds, cobalts to blues and the trans oxides to earths to push granulation. It was a ton of fun!

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

Granulating mixes are so much fun to make and use, especially in landscapes. Texture simplified.

@stormmoster 26 дней назад

I strongly recommend PR179 mixed with P19 yu get a perfect replacement fro Alarin crimson and iff you mix it with a warmer red you get a wonderful deep red.

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

I will have to try them, I am having a chuckle at myself that I tried the PR264 and PV19 together but didn't try any of the others in two pigment combinations. PR264 is also such a close match on its own. It is what replaced Carmine and the Alizarin Crimson in my DS palette.

@NonsenseMediatedDecay 26 дней назад

Thank you for talking about it! I once used „permanent alizarin crimson“ from DS, and later discovered it was not permanent. Its main ingredient is PR177 which is almost the same thing as PR83. Trust me, it’s awful, I tested it. I had to mix something as close as possible to be consistent in a series of paintings. So.. my mix was PR179+ red PV19+ a bit of PR178. If I didn’t have to match it, my best options would be PV19+either PR179 or PBr25. Or even use single pigment PR179 in its red version (Roman Szmal has it) or PR264, Schmincke and RS ones are highly lightfast! Now for the new series I have both PV19 quin ref and PBr25 on my palette and it gives me amazing versatility.

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

Names can be deceiving, we see permanent and think ok, that will last, but it is so important to know the pigments in that, because paint manufacturers can name a color anything they want and permanent in a name doesn't necessarily mean permanence in application.

@geefull 27 дней назад

Thank you. PR 83 is such a lovely colour, it's sad that so many red or violet pigments are not highly lightfast especially as tints. The PR264 looks like it's worth a try and I like PR179. Pigments are so interesting.

@ClarkFineArt 27 дней назад

I agree. The PR264 is what I ordered to replace the Carmine on my palette because I wanted something that would have an excellent lightfast rating.

@lindyashford7744 26 дней назад

Perylene maroon is much more similar to traditional alazarin crimson than any of the other choices. I would not take DS as a start point, but one of the European makers like Sennelier that have a longer tradition as colourmakers. Also observe Alazarin crimson in actual use by artists. The original is sort of brownish in undertone which is why, in dilute form it made such a good colour for portraiture. All the mixes here are too pink.

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

@@lindyashford7744 sometimes the translation of color in video can be a bit different than in person as well. Side by side on my paper the mix and PR83 were looking almost exactly the same.

@Replicanna-rl6zg 26 дней назад

Holbein has permanent alizarin crimson which is a mix of PV19 and PBr25, I am not sure if you tried hose two together but it is a very nice colour and LF. I was also doing some mixes with Potter's Pink today and I love the idea of having it in the mix! Thank you for the video

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

Yes I need to try those, I am laughing at myself because in all the experimenting, I never tried just the PV19 and PR179 or PBr25 together on their own. Which just goes to show there can be more than one way to journey to any given destination.

@suzisandpiper 26 дней назад

Absolutely loved your humour and clip from The Fugitive 😂. It’s such a shame about alizarin, it’s such a gorgeous colour. And when mixed with cad yellow in a stormy sky will separate out beautifully. Alas only suitable for practice and sketchbooks 😢 As a tone I’m extremely fond of PR176 which DS have as Carmine or Roman Szmal uses it for perm alizarin. For me personally, I think very good is still lightfast enough for me. But very useful research. Thank you.

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

Thank you and yes what is acceptable for some can greatly differ and it is ok to enjoy and use all the colors we love. I certainly won't let that tube of PR83 go to waste, it will be perfect in my sketchbooks or for things I wish to scan and turn into prints, in those types of artworks lightfast ratings don't matter one bit.

@renmuffett 26 дней назад

I studied handprint religiously for years. I love that website. I had a few conversations with Bruce, the creator a few years ago. I have found that PR83 or PR83.1 are slightly different from Brand to brand also. PR83.1 is Alizarin Lake, the synthetic version of PR83. Schmincke makes it. It is a bit better than PR83. But its not excellent either. I don't have a problem with using a pigment listed as very good. Reds and pinks historically have less light-fast properties. Most PV19 pigments are not excellent light-fastness if you do your own tests at home. I don't care what the company claims. I test them myself. I tested PR177 and it faded. Not as much as Alizarin but it did fade. Kimberly Crick on RU-vid tested Daniel Smith brand of PR177 and it faded plenty. I totally hate Perylene Maroon. Ugly even in mixes. LOL. I use PR 264 in other brands. However it's still not as transparent as the real deal. I put a touch of Daniel Smith Perylene Scarlet with Quinacridone Magenta, PR202. Mind blowing beautiful.

@ClarkFineArt 26 дней назад

Thanks for the suggestion of the last two, that does sound like a beautiful combo. Handprint is such a great resource of info. I love the Kim has done so much testing as well.

@arianedanza6485 19 дней назад

You should success your mixture to the Daniel Smith companie and they should manufacture it maybe with the name "Clark Alizarin Crimson"

@ClarkFineArt 19 дней назад

Wouldn't that be something?!

@alexandriadesrameaux7208 27 дней назад

My other question is how do the companies test the lightfastness. Because if you putting a medium in the sun and that medium is not very lightfast in its entirely. Why do it? Watercolors is not very lightfast anyway. You need to protect it anyway. So I am confuse. I am not being funny I am trying to understand lightfastness.

@wildflower1397 27 дней назад

Some artists turn their watercolors into digital art, so they don't mind if it is fugitive. Some people working in sketchbooks don't mind either. Personally, I avoid fugitive paints like the plague, lol.

@alexandriadesrameaux7208 27 дней назад

But all the pigments with fade. It’s just a matter of how long it will take. I don’t understand. When I buy watercolor pictures I know the with fade. When I buy acrylic or oil pictures I expect them to last. Maybe because I am so new to watercolors that I am missing the point.

@ClarkFineArt 27 дней назад

There are lightfast watercolors. They use the same type of lightfast pigments that are in your acrylic or oil paints, the only difference is the binder. When I choose a lightfast pigment I am looking for one that is rated as excellent and estimates the pigment won’t fade in the next 100 years. However, can we also acknowledge that the fine print on lightfast ratings regardless of medium reads *under museum quality conditions. So not on a wall with a south facing window letting the light blast onto the painting. There is the Blue Wool scale and the ASTM, companies sometimes do their lightfast tests according to one of these and some set their ratings based on the typical rating of the pigment they are using. How the different companies test would be a question that would have to be asked of each company individually that you are interested in. Most have contact us on their websites and you can usually reach out and ask how they derive their lightfast ratings. When I paint a watercolor that I am going to sell, I only use excellent lightfast rated colors and I do not expect my watercolor paintings to fade.

@alexandriadesrameaux7208 27 дней назад

Thank you soooo much. Now I understand thats where I was getting confuse “ under museum conditions” so I was under the impression that the pigments was not lightfast. Because it was not in the museum. Thank you again for helping me. I love your mixing videos. I have been getting my paints to mix but realize I didn’t write down the pigments number. I was lucky that i thought I might need the wrappers so I kept them.

@ClarkFineArt 27 дней назад

@@alexandriadesrameaux7208 You are welcome. Also, museum conditions at home would be taking the precautions to ensure it is exposed to as little UV as possible. So if you have a watercolor you want to protect, framing it under UV class will go a long way to help protect it.
