Thank you for the swatches Arati are the W&N guoche lightfast and how long do the tubes last before they dry out. If they do dry out can you still use them?
Glad you liked the video 👍🏼 Winsor and Newton has a lightfast-ness chart on their website, I believe. For the most part, as these are professional colours, the permanence is very good. I've never had a W&N tube dry out on me, only a Daler Rowney one. As it's gouache, which is water soluble, I think that if reconstituted with water and honey or gylycerin you could probably use it even if it dried out. Hope this was helpful 😀
@@ArtySubu Yes very helpful I have been wondering if I should give them a go, so I think I will now. The word designer worried me a bit because I thought it ment non light fast so I was confused. I will check out the chart for my colors before I buy. Thankyou so much for your help.
@@pennypop408 very often 'designer' is used in terms of gouache, I have found, because it seems to be considered an illustrator or designer's material rather than an 'artist's'... I disagree! 😀
yay linden green appreciation! ive got winsor green too which is pb7 green pigment, which i seemed to find in most of the greens on the website, so with the beautiful warm greens linden green makes from the slightest tint, and just colbalt turquoise light (stunning) as a third mixing color, i already can create almost all the green hues you can buy. looking forward to getting the red/blue/brown etc on my list to make the rest
This is really handy to see the colours. I haven’t tried laying pens or pencils over them yet, but I do recognise that brush set, I’ve had them for years and used them less as I got into watercolour, it’s useful to still have them for gouache now.
Interesting.. Maybe Quin magenta is a bit more opaque and less fugitive (permanent) compared to Opera Pink to consider.. Also sap green might be a better choice than permanent green middle?! That sap might work a bit better with the olive green.. And would you prefer Yellow lemon over Primary yellow I wonder, or do you have enough yellow with only using deep and cadmium?! ohh and also your Primary red is so fugitive and at this price point I would really like colors to be as lightfast as possible, so what red would you replace the primary with in that regard?
I'm working on a current gouache collection swatches video, since this one is now pretty outdated 3 years later - mostly switched over to chromium oxide green. Mostly based on the colours I use the most rather than a mixing palette. Yes, red also has been swapped for Holbein carmine and I have lemon yellow from Schmincke (new favourite brand)! Thanks for watching and commenting! 💛 Also, opera pink is just a fun colour though it doesn't scan, so I just use it in my sketchbook.
Glad it was useful! Here's one similar to my palette: bit.ly/3QKgb1V ... (Affiliate link so you'll get 10% off your first order 💛) let me know if you got it and what colours you chose
Thanks so much for watching! No mould yet on the W&N. I did get mould on a Daler Rowney black, which I no longer use. I should probably do an updated video, since I've added to my collection!
Hello @Simon Masut !! Sepia is kind of a mid brown colour that works well as a mid tone. You could probably mix it if you already have either Van Dyck brown. With Burnt Umber too. I'm working on an updated swatch page as it's been a while since this one 👍🏼
@@ArtySubu It seems sepia is a little bit darker than Van dyck brown, i could maybe get a sepia in simply mixing van dyck and jet black ? the result could work out because gouache mix with black tend to be duller.
I don't take classes but I can recommend that you try the Silk Painters International website where they list classes or see some of the ones at Galli Creative.
No, I live abroad, I'm afraid. I definitely know W&N and Daler-Rowney are available in India (probably the unbiquitous Amazon has them if you don't have a shop nearby). I'd go with these brands to start. Or Camel is a good Indian brand too. Their poster colours are similar to gouache.
