I had stocked up many tubes of PO49 and packaged each one sealed separately with O2 absorbers. So far all are still soft. This is one of my favorite pigments, and the greens it makes do not compare with any other mixes. Nice job mulling this pigment. ENJOY...
Periodically I search for quin gold videos on YT and today this video popped up. I came late to watercolors and so I discovered quin gold far to late to experience the original single pigment quin gold. I have the Daniel Smith two pigment quin gold but to see the original is still out there was very interesting. Thanks!
Glad you found my video! I think this pigment powder is of a different origin than that of DS. At least that's what I get back from people knowing their version (I don't have it myself)
@@dirtyblueshop would you consider doing a video comparing the two? If you could get DS Quin gold PO49 and you have your own handmade PO49. I do believe people would love and/or appreciate such a comparison. I also loved DS Sap green with the genuine po49. I still have a stash of these paints and would happily donate a blob or half pan if I can find where I put them (haven’t painted in 5ish years but still have all my paints).
I have some of this pigment and it gives mixes such a beautiful glow that I have not been able to replicate with any other pigment. The greens that are produced from PO49 are too die for.🤤 I'm really loving your content. And my favorite necklace is still my ultramarine blue pigment pendant that I bought from you last year. 😃 I'm excited to see what you have in store for the shop this year.
I got one from a contact in Asia, I saw the same brand/mark/symbols on an AliExpress one which I ordered to see if it’s the same quality! Update on this soon!
Is this dry pigment sourced from Guerra or elsewhere? I have tried a paint made from the Guerra PO49 dispersion, which looks similar to your swatch. It seemed much less yellow compared to my W&N PO49. The W&N PO49 looks similar to DS PO48/PY150 hue, I haven't got DS PO49 to compare.
I’ve read somewhere that the quin gold that Daniel Smith had was less of a burnt sienna and more like a very potent, bright and transparent gold ochre/raw sienna. I think it was Jane Blundell who said that. What do you think?
@@dirtyblueshop Lucky you! As soon as you sell some paint I will definitely buy some! :) I would love to have some of this pigment but I can't find any.
