You crack me up Pete. Count me in for your challenge & prompts. Painting anything is about my speed. Circles and squares it will be. I just found your channel last week & I'm going back & watching some old videos. I sure needed to watch this when it first came out, before I got myself bogged down in WWCM--I was so excited this July, I was finally well enough & in control of my hands well enough to take part in World Watercolor Month this year! I even managed to get a few "paintings" done. But instead of being excited that I was recovering and my physical therapy was at a point that I could paint & draw again, I was unhappy that I had missed days and prompts. I was ready too. I did my homework & looked up & saved images for most of the prompts so I could start each day with the right idea. But I still found myself getting sidetracked with too many ideas. It doesn't help someone in recovery from a debilitating illness & depression to overwhelm them with expectations. I know better for next year.. I won't say it's a scam, but they sure are inept at shipping items, or they are racking up shipping expenses for their own pockets. I went to their page to get some products they were selling for their charity project, getting funds for art for children. I had a couple of mugs & a couple of pencil pouches that were already double what they would normally cost. Okay, it's for charity & I wanted to encourage a few of my favorite watercolor teachers. Then I was zonked with almost $90 in shipping! YES, NINETY. Every item has independent shipping costs and they are not combined. I've been in shipping for about 50 years. I guess they could have shipped my items for about $13 or less. I'm sure they have an excuse for that, but it was all just too much for me. I'm out from now on. PS. I like your teaching style and real way of telling us your opinions. Sincerely, Teresa at Providence Valley Farm.

@IllustrationsByPete 21 день назад

I'm sorry to hear about your illness but I'm so glad that you are on the mend. Take it as slow as you need to and keep up working towards your recovery. I have never bought anything through that charity but that sounds terrible. I have run into that several times with other charities. I'm glad you enjoy these. Welcome to the channel! 🙂

@loveandlife4222 2 месяца назад

You are hilarious! I love the new day you just created! 😂 I also just wanted to let you know that the only reason Qor paint spreads so much is because they add oxgall to their binder. You can buy a small bottle of oxgall and make any of your paint do that by just adding a drop or two of oxgall. You might really be interested in doing that. Thanks for a fun video!

@suzisandpiper 16 дней назад

I love all the colours you chose. I recall listening to Roman Szmal talking about the art of colour mixing saying there were instances where certain pigments even though higmghest lightfastness, when mixed lost some lightfastness. That may explain why the indigo and P Grey drop to a 2.

We have many of the same colors on our pallet. This past Christmas I got the Mission Gold pure pigment set As a present and I have been very impressed by them and have swapped out some of my paints on my pallet like the orange.

I need to try more of them. I received 2 colors in some palettes I bought a while back, Cerulean, and Naphthol red. I like them both. They seem great.

@kelliebach5240 4 месяца назад

My favorite Brown and my favorite Daniel Smith color is also Piemontite Genuine. They have it in a stick that I was able to get for $9. That’s the nice thing about the Daniel Smith line for some of the expensive colors, you can get the watercolor stick at a better price.

When you mentioned that the yellow was too bright for you, the first thought was “why don’t you tone it down?”, but when the painting part came I saw you were painting “out of the tube” - all methods are valid and good for their users I guess!

@phillipstroll7385 4 месяца назад

Lightfastness isn't what people think it is. As soon as one adds water the lightfast changes. Same with oil paint. The lightfast changes when one adds mediums. Just like acrylic paints break down depending on how much water one adds. Point is, no one is selling originals. No one is ever going to pay hundreds or thousands for an original painting ever again. So is what you like how you like. If ppl are lucky they can sell a print for $5.00 or make a few dollars a month from the tube.

@IllustrationsByPete 4 месяца назад

Good info. Thanks. My boss at work buys originals. Pays thousands each time. Some people have money to burn. 😂

@UJB123 3 месяца назад

The ones spending hundreds of thousands or millions for an original aren’t anyone the general masses would come in contact with. 😊

@anna10116 2 месяца назад

The lightfastness rating is based on really dilute washes, though. If you use UV protective glass and LF1 pigments, the painting will be in good shape indefinitely. An original work is always going to be worth more than a reproduction.

@celirondoni7717 4 месяца назад

I just watched your video and I had to try for myself making the olive green dupe.

I support World Watercolour Month simply because it's an event for charity. I'll follow as many of the prompts as I feel like, but by no means all of them. I pick up a pouch/pencil case every year because the profits are used for an excellent project and not personal gain. Never underestimate a prompt, especially for learners just setting out. The variety of prompts can constantly lead you out of any comfort zone you might be settling into. It makes you think about what you're doing and provides new challenges. They're good for those days where you want to practice and experiment, but you can't pick a subject (we all have days where our brains are dull) Today I don't need a prompt, because I'm painting a velociraptor in an indoor winter garden 😅

@IllustrationsByPete 4 месяца назад

Nothing wrong with supporting a charity with a donation. 👍🏻 There's also nothing wrong with a prompt. I just dislike the pressure people put themselves under for many of these things. Life has enough pressure, art should be enjoyable. Casual participation is a good thing. Sounds like an interesting piece you're working on. 🙂

Lightfastness is only relevant if you’re hanging art on walls that will be affected by constant sunlight. Sketchbooks aren’t a concern, you close them. Kinda like cave drawings, I doubt the person painting a hunt scene several thousand years ago was worrying about lightfastness. It’s still there. (Could probably use a touch up tho’) 😅 Daniel Smith Primateks are the actual ground minerals, iirc. Ergo, Solidite isn’t P-mix anything, it’s simply Solidite. Probably has a P designation of some sort but they aren’t hues of something else, they’re originals. They’re nature. Sitting around since Earth’s formation. They may dim a bit every million or so years. 😅😅😅

@IllustrationsByPete 3 месяца назад

I understand. A lot of people here are trying to sell their art so I'm just trying to provide info for them. The found out a while ago that there are other pigments in the primatek line. There is only a little of the names mineral so people started freaking out. I don't mind it at all. 🙂
