I have that tea tin. I have zero Daniel Smith watercolors. My brother is a professional artist and also a procrastinator. I purchased two cute bamboo palettes, one for each of us. He has yet to return mine with 15 DS colors added. I am going to remind him today.
I do not think I have met a Daniel Smith color I didn't really like! To this list, I would add Indian yellow. I have been using it in some florals and find it blends well. I do not have Lavender, but am planning on getting that one soon, and learning the possibilities with it. Very nice video.
Thank you so much for this video! ❤️❤️ It is so timely for me & has helped me finalize the colors I need to add to my palette- many of which I have had on my wishlist for ages. I have several of these colors & really enjoy them, so it seems that our color choices are similar. Thank you again!
You are so welcome!! Seeing videos of supplies in action has always helped me get a better idea if I want to purchase them. Thank you so much for watching!
Haha oopsie! Don’t worry, you’ll love them! Was one of them the Jean Haines Green with Envy set? I feel like it’s a better way to get than buying them individually like I did
@@katienelsonartist I was first introduced to DS through Jean Haines' Master Artist Set. Teeny, tiny tubes of some of the prettiest colors -- many that you swatched here. Such gorgeous colors, and they mix to amazing results, too.
Loved this video, Katie! I have all these colors except Jadeite green and it’s been on my list for awhile. The prima tek colors are all beautiful…I’m a sucker for granulation too!
I just received a large shipment of Daniel Smith colours which were on sale at Jackson’s art. Can’t wait to start playing with them and putting them into new empty palettes I got for the purpose. 27 new colours in all… I had to restrain myself because every time I looked at my cart I ended up adding more. Lol. I’m happy to say I got most of the colours you mentioned. Lovely video, you have a soothing voice and your beautifully neat studio space encourages me to tidy up my own a little! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to seeing more of your videos and wishing you continued success.
Aww thank you sooo much! I’m brand new to filming myself or my voice, your lovely comment made me feel so good 🥰 I’m so excited for you to get all of your paints!!! It’s like Christmas when your order comes in and you get to play with all of your new colors! So fun! 😊
Thank you so much! I’m new to making these kinds of videos and I have no idea what people prefer to watch, I only know what I like to watch and I long long art supply videos! 🥰
Perfect this are some of my favorites too, the only one you forgot it Cobalt teal, amazing to brighten up blues and you can mix tons of granulating colors with it.
I have never used titanium buff. I may pick up a tube soon. So many people seem to love it. I think your comments have me convinced. I too love the genuine paints, I'm also a rock lover in general and also love a good granulating paint.
I feel like granulating paints are meant for rock lovers! Yes if you get the chance to pick up buff titanium definitely try it out. It is so wonderful on its own or mixed with other colors. I have swatch pages of my colors mix with buff titanium and they’re so pretty!
I'm so in love with DS watercolor paint. I bought the sample dot sheets and they're fantastic. I'm collecting my favorites based on what I discover from the sheets. Undersea Green and Green Apatite Genuine are my favorite greens, but after this fabulous video, Cascade Green is next on the list. Perfect for my Evergreen Christmas paintings. Great swatch work my dear. Thanks and blessings to you!❤
Thank you so much!! 🥰 I agree they are so fantastic. The dot sheets are such a great idea, they really help you narrow down what to choose. I’m so glad you’re getting cascade green, you won’t be disappointed! It would be gorgeous in Christmas paintings.
I own all of these colors except the Perylene green. I do have this color from Winsor and Newton and love it. I’ve tested all my 170 watercolors that I own and moon glow has definitely changed. It doesn’t completely fade but loses the reds that you see in it. Cascade green is definitely one of my favorites. Another “red” I love is called Quinacridone coral from Daniel smith. It always come with me when I switch palettes.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your findings with moonglow. Quinacridone Coral was recommended more than once, it’s been on my wish list for a while but now I NEED it 😂
I just found you because of this video. Was hoping to see some of your florals in a little longer video than the shorts! You talked about using some of these in a floral(s) recently? Anyway hope to see your 20 min florals, thanks!!
this was so sweet and chill to watch. hopefully you do a palette swatch sesh. in the meantime, you're making me add more ds colours to my wish list lol
I have green apatite genuine, sodalite and piemontite, plus yellow ochre from D.S. and burnt sienna from Holbein in tiny palette which I call “Moody Autumn”. I have these minipalettes selected exactly as I feel 😅 my last one is Schmincke Neons. When I have minute for myself to paint, I just grab one which fits to my mood 😊 these natural colors from D. S. are lovely!!!
@@katienelsonartist Schmincke does every year some limited edition. This is how I got my first palette and for very logical reason - I loved that metalic case 😂 - the selection of colours scream summer and I added few more to have my Happy Colors palette from Winsor and Newton and Van Gogh and I still love to use it. Schmincke Akademie grade has great quality and high pigmentation. It is joy! And if you prefer professional grade Horadam, they have amazing sets of granulating colors.
@@lenkaferreira5680 yes I’ve seen those limited edition colors before! I’ve been so close to buying them! Also I just love the idea of having all your paints categorized by moods or seasons. So wonderful!
I really enjoyed this video, Katie! Your calm voice and the pleasant but unobtrusive background music make it really restful. I'm also a DS fan. I have 3 of your favourites but unlike you, I have no greens at all in my palette because I prefer to mix them. However, your review is really tempting me to buy a couple - especially Perylene Green which looks gorgeous!
Wow, thank you for such a lovely comment! That makes me feel so good 🥰 I agree that mixing greens is great, but I just can’t help myself I just love all the DS greens! Perylene is a great one to try out!
I'm also used to mixing my greens until I purchased some undersea green. Now I'm hooked on DS greens. No amount of mixing on my own can give me that exact shade. You won't regret your purchase.
This was very helpful thank you. I recently purchased Kyanite Genuine and Wow! It's similar to your swatch of Sodalite Genuine, however it contains a gorgeous natural sparkle that gives a outer space painting a wow factor! It's my new favorite!
Gosh I have every single one of these except for the pyrule Scarlet lol. Check out some of! Roman Szmal Aquarius granulating colors like Aquarius green, Shadow Violet, Shadow Gray, and Misty morning. Check out some RU-vid videos that show these guys! Also the rest of Daniel Smith 's. Granulating colors are pretty fabulous. Bloodstone, Blue appetite, Hematite and hematite violet to name a few. Oh and lunar Red Rock. Happy painting!❤
I definitely have Roman Szmal on my list! Their Aquarius line looks gorgeous. I also have bloodstone, blue apatite and lunar red rock. I love them all! Hematite and hematite violet looks great too 👍
I heard conserns about Moonglow too. I had it right next to my window on the wall for a year(the lightest area of my house) and it didn't change a bit. I had it for years love using it as my black.
I really enjoyed watching you swatching! 😂 Such beautiful colours. I didn’t realise how gorgeous granulated paints are. The finished page looks to me like little conical piles of mica. Thank you for sharing ❤
Yes I love ❤️ Daniel Smith and I try to get every color they have. 😂. They are so beautiful and one color can be used for so many different ideas on landscapes to beach ⛱️ scenes. I think they are the best. Never any cracking like you get with Winsor and Newton paints. Like van dyc brown. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸.
Cool.. although non of them are made out of `semi precious stones`, I really wish DS would leave that marketing ploy behind. My fave DS orange is quin sienna))
I have all those except pie mouth but my cascade does not look blue at all . I wish it did your looks so beautiful. Mine is pretty but yours is gorgeous. It looks so different i actually slowed down the video a screen shot it to see if was different in someway . My mom teases me because I buy all the blues and greens of Daniel Smith .
Wow that’s super interesting. I’ve had a couple tubes of cascade and haven’t noticed a difference. I wonder if they changed the pigments or formula. I can’t help but hoard blues and greens too 😂
