I agree! Earlier this year, I published a video on their set that came with a gray genuine leather case. If you'd like to see more Schmincke colors, here's the link to that video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--VCuS3JMgcQ.html Thank you for being here!
PR206 is also a favorite of mine! I am sorry that it will be discontinued across all brands because the pigment is no longer used in automobile industry!
Congratulations on attaining 1000 subscribers! I love PR206 and I'll have to try out some other manufacturers of this color before it disappears. I like the YinMin colors, but if they are limited edition, I don't see the point of falling in love with them only to have them disappear, so I won't be buying them. I don't need another disappearing color. On a different note, it's interesting how the colors look different on hot pressed paper.
Many thanks for your continued support! The pigments definitely appear more pronounced on hot-pressed paper or display with extra definition. Hot-pressed does not have the crevasses of cold-pressed paper for the pigments to settle into. Currently, I am loving the PR206 from Michael Harding Watercolours. It is called Cinquasia Maroon. A. Gallo also has a PR206 that is incredibly lovely. Its name is Quinacridone Chestnut. If you'd prefer MaimeriBlu, their Brown Madder Alizarin is also a PR206. YInMn Blue is a "limited edition" one only because they are still testing the market. It is truly unique from all the other blues but it is still sits within the realm of "nice to have" rather than being a necessity. Although I've stocked up on YInMn Blue, realistically down the road, for that kind of investment, I'd treat myself (and my clients) to an extra fine art Fra Angelico Blue. Michael Harding's Genuine Lapis Lazuli (Afghan) is also worth the splurge. As always, I prefer staying within the classic palettes. Thank you again for being here! It means a lot!
@@stiviwonders It's so hard sometimes to navigate the different lines of color. There is no standardization of names, so thanks for pointing out the different PR206s, it would have taken me some time to track them down.
@@alexandraemrick2799 If it helps, I did not mention Winsor & Newton because they've already started phasing out their PR206 (replacing them with PR179) but some local stores may still have some old stock. The paints that use this pigment are Brown Madder and Permanent Alizarin Crimson. It was a stroke of luck when I found a few tubes at an art supply store in my area.
Finally! when someone asks me why am I in love with Schmincke I can refer them to this video )) Their soft Pr206 holds a special place in my heart & I would frame those swatch cards.. beautiful, thank you
That is heart-meltingly beautiful to hear, thank you for saying that! Schmincke's Horadam range is definitely a performer. Their PR206 is a staple on my palette as well. I appreciate YOU and your kind words. Thank you for being here!
You have a great eye for detail! You are right, it does exhibit some mild granulation. I didn't mention it here because I intended to re-swatch for further verification.
🤩 Les Aquarelles Schmincke Horadam font parties de mes Marques Favorites 🌸🌸🌸 Les Couleurs sont toujours Sublimes , et le Rendu est toujours Satisfaisant quelque soit le Papier utilisé ( Cold Press , Hot Press, Smooth or Rough ... ) ☺🌸🌸🌸 A part cela, j'apprécie toujours autant la Sobriété, l'Esthétisme et l'Efficacité de vos Vidéos 🌼Merci Beaucoup 🌼
I agree! It's uniquely beautiful! If you're interested to see its other properties, here's the link to the YInTiCo Red-focused video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9TR-bzZFbbM.html Thank you for watching! 😍
this is super relaxing especially with the music, I had it on in the background as I was painting. I think my favourite colour is ocean grey, that is so beautiful ❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video. I normally avoid convenience mixtures but Ocean Grey piqued my interest. It is truly beautiful! Thought of you when I was swatching YInTiCo Red because I know you love pink. 💖❤
I love your color choices! I love Ocean grey, YinTico Red, Indian Red, Potter’s Pink, Delft Blue, and Sienna. I love Madder Brown, but I can’t fall in love with it because they got rid of PR206. PR206 warm and cool is one of my favorite pigments.😩
That is great to know that you love those colors! Aside from the PR206 featured here, my other favorites are Cinquasia Maroon by Michael Harding Watercolours and Quinacridone Chestnut by A. Gallo. I have a few more tubes from Winsor & Newton as well. Horadam's Madder Brown still says PR206 but if the situation for it changes, then I'll inevitably un-love it, which is not an easy process. 😩 The other colors that I actually have but didn't make it to the video are Neutral Tint, Chrome Oxide Green and Brilliant Opera Rose and the ones featured in this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--VCuS3JMgcQ.html Schmincke discontinued the set that comes with the nice grey leather case but the colors are still part of their catalog.
Your video is so well done, professional as well as so informative. I love to watch your swatching process, so neat and perfectly painted. I am loving these paints from your video, especially the Ocean Grey ! Thanks so much for sharing your talent :)
You definitely take swatching to a whole new level! I enjoyed watching the whole video, and I loved your descriptions of every colour. So much love and knowledge transpire from the way you work. Having grown up with Schmincke Horadam, they always will hold a special place in my heart despite all the other lovely brands. They are my staple watercolours that I automatically reach for. Schmincke have been really busy bringing out new speciality colours. I remember times when their range of watercolours was limited to about 83 colours. Some of them have disappeared in the meantime, but so many new ones have been released. I remember starting my journey with half pans of Gamboge Yellow, Vermillion Red, Alizarin Crimson, Viridian, Prussian Blue and Ultramarine finest. I used that limited palette until I got lucky enough to win their 24 full pan box palette in a competition. And the rest is history - I became an avid watercolourist and watercolour paint collector. 😅 So glad their Burnt Sienna got some love from you. I’m always a little sad when people pooh-pooh it for not being a single pigment colour. I go through Schmincke Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine finest the most because they are both such good mixers. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and lots of new subscriptions to your channel! 😍😍😍
It always warms my heart when people share anecdotes! I feel that that is deeply personal so I feel honored to be the receiving end of such slice of life. Thank you for your kind remarks too! Burnt Sienna is a must-have for me and it is one of those colors that I use to test for quality. Like you, my favorite thing to do with it is to mix it with Ultramarine, genuine or synthetic. I appreciate your well-wishes and I wish you a meaningful holiday season too! Thank you for being here. 😍😍😍
These colors look amazing! I have no Schmincke watercolor but I own some of their oil colors and they are my favorite. I have never felt the appeal of YInMn blue, but you said it is very granulating, so I might try it. Would you consider to do a video comparison between YInMn Blue, Ultramarine, and Cobalt Blue?
Thank you for watching! It is delightful to hear that you found the colors amazing. I am happy to share that in a few weeks, I will be uploading a video on Lapis Lazuli Blue and that includes an extra fine art quality paint from Della Magna Watercolors called Fra Angelico Blue. In that video, I will be showing various blues including Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue, and YInMn Blue. I just have two or three videos on queue before that. Hope this information piques further interest!
I will be looking forward to the video you're talking about. There are so many grades of Lapis Lazuli and Fra Angelica is the highest quality and the most labor intensive to create. I'm a schminked fan also. I believe that Turners Yellow will be on my next order. 😅 Thank you for such tranquil and informative videos. 🙏
Wonderful! I made sure to include the limited edition paints that I have here because they are truly stunning, especially YInMn Blue. Thank you for watching!
@@stiviwonders Not at all! I actually bought the Turner Yellow already, the Burnt Umber and Sienna, and the Magenta which I really like for mixing. Didn't buy the Indigo since I have the Payne's Grey Bluish, but I might. Potters Pink and Madder Brown I thought were really interesting, and that Manganese Violet is so gorgeous! Ocean Grey too, I'm just not sure I'd use it. But I'll need to keep an eye out for that YInToCo Red. :)
@@irmabecx4758 Jackson's Art currently has a watercolor sale. Their Schmincke prices are more attractive than the prices I see here in the United States. I prefer the bluish depth of Payne's Grey over the Indigo one. I showed more Schmincke colors here but please note that the gray leather case has been discontinued. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--VCuS3JMgcQ.html
I use Van Gogh/Rembrandt, and I'd like to add some Schmincke colours in my palette. If anybody has any experience,with the brand I'd appreciate some suggestions. Merry Christmas!
I hope you're having a meaningful holiday season too! As for your question, could you please share a bit about the themes/subjects that you normally work with? This way, I could form a more helpful answer instead of a broad one that doesn't specifically address your painting requirements. Thank you!
I do life sketching, as also sketches from photographs.(so it could be an urban or even an animal. I use a pencil and then I colour all or a part of it, with watercolours, I also try (for more than a year now), to do classic landscape painting, with wet on wet etc, but because of the use of wrong papers at first, as other difficulties I had, I haven't produced a piece that I'd say Im very proud, as I am with my sketches. I didn't give up though! PS I was already do sketching since I was a kid, now at 43, so I'm fairly good at it, not a beginner. Thank you very much!@@stiviwonders
@@greekveteran2715 Thank you for offering additional information! Generally, I tend to not be prescriptive when it comes to choosing watercolors because for me, palettes are deeply personal. However, since you solicited for some Schmincke direction, what I have found to be helpful is to have mono-pigmented French Ultramarine, Yellow Ochre, and Transparent Sienna (PR101) watercolors on hand. I couldn't recommend Schmincke's Burnt Sienna because it is a mix or a convenience color. These three pigments make excellent starting points for a world of themes, including landscapes and portraits. The trio will offer a lot of mixing possibilities. From here, you may then add any watercolor to your palette based on preference. I admire your tenacious spirit when it comes to pursuing what brings you immense joy and I hope this reply is helpful! Happy New Year to you and happy painting!
I can't believe that you suggested these colours, because those are 3 from the 5 or 6 I was trying to decide between, to get 3 or 4 of them! Also, I noticed that burnt Sienna looked way better on the Rembrandt series, than on Schmincke, so I didn't put it in my list! You've been helpful, because I'm only one year into watercolours! I really appreciatte it! Happy ne Year full of health to you and yours and happy painting to you too!@@stiviwonders
@@greekveteran2715 Thank you! Personally, I've been loving the Burnt Sienna from Michael Harding Watercolours. When mixed with Ultramarine Blue or Genuine Lapis Lazuli, the resulting browns are so magical. They look so alive or full of zest. I love landscapes too so it is natural for me to recommend the three ones that I suggested earlier. Please allow me to indulge. This is mostly the palette that I've been using for my landscapes and you'll also see the mixes I made at the latter part, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dIAxnO346FQ.htmlsi=5pzOk-2pzDAs-spC&t=1072
Fantastic! I finally addressed your question from a while back about YInTiCo Red and whether recreating it with existing pigments is achievable or not. Thank you for being here!
