A name is but a name when it comes to watercolors. While some companies have similar shades when using the same name, others are wildly different. What really matters, and what is going to show more consistency, is the pigment -- not the name. That said, it is fun to compare the names among some of the more popular brands and see which ones we like better, the pigments they use and more!

Great comparison chart. I'm looking forward to more producers/manufacturers/brands being offered in the future. I realize that can get super pricey, so don't go bankrupt in the process! You're doing a great job and providing an excellent service!!

I love that you do this type comparison.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

Awe thank you my dear.

@shadowguard3578 Год назад

As you were swatching the MaimeriBlu ‘sap green’ I thought hmmm, looks like chromium oxide green particularly the pigment number seemed familiar to me. Well it is chromium oxide green. 😊 I think of sap green as being a muted green. The Daniel Smith sap green is spot on to what I think of sap green. I love the Roman Szmal ‘sap green’ but I wouldn’t have identified it as sap green.

@watercolorwanderingwithk Год назад

Yeah that's why these comparisons are fun, and also go to show that names really aren't super important and pigment information is what you want to look at, because sap green really is all over the place haha.

@PickwickTurtle Год назад

I’m excited for this series!

@watercolorwanderingwithk 11 месяцев назад

Oh thank you!

@E4Alabbasy Год назад

Thank you for comparing! I actually love winsor cotman sap green but when I swatched their dot cards they were so different! So far my favorite is Isaro sap green, yellowish green, I think mixed with either orange or red I don't remember. But I am waiting to run out of my cotman sap green and try to mix it using artist grade watercolors.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

oooh I'll have to try the Isaro one. I am starting to enjoy Isaro. I probably won't collect a lot of them just because I already have way too many paints lol

Jackson's have good convenience greens: their Sap Gn is somber and very natural- it never looks out of place (being a mixture of ultramarine and benzimidazolone, you might expect something bright and garish, but no, it's very sober and well behaved.) Their Hooker's is brighter. Their other two are Phthalo offerings, both for mixing- though the bluer one is handsome enough for use by itself in fun and fantasy painting. I like the Holbein too- as well as the W&N, which is well balanced and perfect... but at their price you can forget it!! The R Szmal is good and strong and a little goes a long way... but the PY150 element is always a potential hazard as it is a thug and will shout too much in dilution.

@melissag6246 Год назад

Nice comparison 😍😍

@watercolorwanderingwithk Год назад

Thank you 🙂

@sonyaoart Год назад

I only have one sap green and it's the Van Gogh version. I tend to mix my own, but I really like the DS version here. And the Maimeri one is lovely, too.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

Yeah I Just get lazy and totally embrace convenience mixes lol

@greekveteran2715 5 месяцев назад

Rembrandt,(the profesional Talens watercolors) makes way better Sap Green, which for me, is way better than most out there. Only Daniel Smith looks better, but here it Costs 60$ for a 10ml tube, compared to 5$ Rembrandt costs.

@CeruleanCzarina 10 месяцев назад

Van Gogh’s Sap Green is a longtime favorite of mine. But ideally I love to mix my own Sap Green with W&N New Gamboge and PG36.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

Oh that sounds like a fun mix

@OrioleBeagle 7 месяцев назад

Please add Grumbacher professional watercolors to future comparisons.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 7 месяцев назад

Hey there. I'll do my best, but I can only afford to buy so many paints. I have had a few people donate, but unfortunately I can't do every brand out there. Wish I could, but I'd spend hundreds on paints I will never use :(

@mariarecuencocanas3653 8 месяцев назад

Just sharing a piece of information: PG17 is what most companies name as Chrome oxide green, so I'm afraid Maimeriblu labels this paint wrongly. Thank you for your video

@watercolorwanderingwithk 8 месяцев назад

Yes, but like I mentioned a few times, this is a comparison BY NAME, and I will do one by actual pigment numbers so that everyone can see why a) names don't matter, and b) learn how pigments will tell you more :)

@dianesaulnier9772 5 месяцев назад

I wish you had added Cheap Joe's American Journey watercolor paints. I use them a lot and love the colors.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 4 месяца назад

Hi there. I wish I could add every single brand out there, but you have to realize I have to purchase these paints and sadly, that gets expensive. So, I rely on what I have in stock, what I can buy in smaller amounts from others and donations. If I purchased every set myself, I'd spent a few hundred on each video.

@dianesaulnier9772 4 месяца назад

I know....I used to teach and did brand comparisons with my students...basically to keep them away from the student grade paints.@@watercolorwanderingwithk

@sierracarscadden6049 Год назад

Daniel Smith Sap Green is usually my favorite. M. Grahams Sap Green is really nice too. I enjoy the Winsor a Newton Sap Green even though it’s a bit brighter, but I do like the bit of granulation you get from it.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

There are sooo many brands out there eh? I wish I could compare them all, but I'd go broke trying haha

@Escherlife 9 месяцев назад

Of all the sap greens I’ve tried…and there are many…I’ve fallen in love with Qor’s the most. It is absolutely gorgeous, natural and earthy, with a lovely level of granulation and it flows so beautifully as Qor is known for. That and Qor’s Payne’s grey are two colours, which, if you haven’t tried yet, I can’t recommend highly enough 😊

@watercolorwanderingwithk 9 месяцев назад

I haven't tried QoR yet, but definitely on my list

@thatswhatshesaid.literally737 8 месяцев назад

I absolutely love Daniel Smith's Sap Green but the fact that it's 3 pigments keeps me away from it. I love to do pieces with limited colors (3 to 4) and mix any other colors from those, and I've found that 3+ pigment paints tend to get muddy more quickly. I was using W&N Pro Permanent Sap Green but found myself having to darken it by mixing nearly every time I used it which became tedious, so I 100% agree with you about that paint. I currently use Shinhan's PWC Sap Green which is PG7 and a very lovely dark green, but after seeing Maimeri Blu's I may have to get that one as well. Thank you so much for your super helpful comparison and for fueling my watercolor addiction! Lol 🙏😅

@watercolorwanderingwithk 7 месяцев назад

Yeah things can get a little murky when you have more than three pigments in there

@greekveteran2715 5 месяцев назад

Daniel Smith and Rembrandt,are my 2 favorite Sap Greens.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 4 месяца назад

Those are awesome sap greens for sure

@mzkatbee463 Год назад

Love Sap green 💚💚💚

@watercolorwanderingwithk Год назад

I do too!

@kami_kauai Год назад

MaimeriBlu is an entire single-pigment line, so their greens tend to leave a lot to be desired. I wish they'd chosen something else then chromium oxide for their sap green because I bought it and I don't like it...

@watercolorwanderingwithk Год назад

Yes, and chromium oxide green is quite opaque and just doesn't really work. I don't mind the single pigments, but that's because then it makes it easier for mixing. That said, it's always interesting to see what they actually name those single pigment colors.

@kellyh4344 Год назад

I’ve been using the W&N sap green but I think I might switch to either DS or Holbein once my W&N runs out

@watercolorwanderingwithk 11 месяцев назад

those are excellent choices!

@kellyh4344 11 месяцев назад

@@watercolorwanderingwithk I picked up The DS one and I’m loving it so much 😍

@loveandlife4222 8 месяцев назад

Daniel Smith is hands down the best in my opinion. It’s the perfect sap green color. But I tend to mix and change up my greens. I want my paintings interesting and not not just one flat green.

@watercolorwanderingwithk 8 месяцев назад

Understandable

@nadinevandenhende8999 10 месяцев назад

Hello , PG17 is chromium green oxide by Daniël Smith. And the color look pretty much the same of MaimeriBlu's sapgreen...greetings

@watercolorwanderingwithk 10 месяцев назад

Yes, but what this comparison is for is by name. I've mentioned in a few past videos that I will compare actual pigment numbers in another video/series, just so that everyone can see how names are only a small portion of identifying what you're working with.
