Joseph Zbukvic is a fabulous water colour artist ,, one of my favorites.. I must admit i am becoming addicted to your videos now , especially your spontaneous paintings.. I just love the way you bring them alive with short brush strokes and scumbling techniques to lift out paint.. Thank you so much for the videos and all the enjoyment they bring to us as artists and those learning to paint.. It is incredibly interesting, and inspiring... Very grateful to you for your generosity... Tips tricks etc ..Much appreciated.. Thank you again.. I hope you have a wonderful day.. :D

@sandrajohnson2489 4 года назад

This video made me realize what "mind of watercolor" means. Since I started watching your videos I just thought the title meant you have a mind for watercolor. Now I see that it means, watercolor paints have a mind of their own.

@beaubrummell11 3 года назад

I have followed you these last yearYour teaching and superb watercolors I watch over and overThank you Masters

@willowbranch5237 5 лет назад

After 30 years of not painting I came upon your videos accidentally a few months ago and I am totally addicted. You have taught and inspired me so much. I love the way you explain things on a level that is so easy to understand, and most of all, I love your sense of humor. Thank you so very much

@lindaoneill746 5 лет назад

Would love to see more paints tested and analyzed like this. VERY helpful. You have been the primary person who has helped inspire me to learn watercolors this past year. Thank you!

@maryanharrell5642 5 лет назад

Oh, Steve, this was wonderful! I had been hoping to see a review of these grays! I really am interested in the Titanium Gray and a couple of the others. I have to watch this again. But what I really enjoyed was the lesson on cloud techniques! I am going to play with clouds all day today. Thanks, again to my instructor !!

@jodihigginsjh 5 лет назад

DS Buff Titanium turned out to be a surprisingly useful color for me, so I was intrigued also by the Gray Titanium. Thank you so much for the demo of these colors. Your cloud studies turned out amazing as usual!

@gloriacarlson6322 5 лет назад

I am new with watercolor... and have watched countless tutorials... your techniques and teaching style have me coming back to you time and time again! I bought Nita Engel's book... and I see so much of what you paint... as she paints... having the watercolor paint itself... it's shear magic... and for that I thank you for adding some magic to my day... to my efforts at watercolor painting. I remain in awe of your gift! Blessings and then some!

@allisonjames2923 2 года назад

Absolutely lovely fluffy, moody clouds & I love the mix of greys

@mbfrezon 5 лет назад

Thank you Steve! What a great demo and so useful to see all those greys!

@krlosz1996 5 лет назад

I wasn't really into the first cloudscape until you backed away the camera from it and then I was mesmerized, perspective can really be everything.

@elvenham1 5 лет назад

That Gray Titanium had really intrigued me, and I think it would be a great base for river rocks. And I think I'll just continue to mix my Jane's Gray, because I like the separation. Beautiful cloudscapes, and thank you as always for your insight and demos!

@KatheeRN 5 лет назад

Wow I learned a lot from this video... ty for doing this...being "newish" to watercolor, I also was very impressed with the amount of water u applied for the skies. I learn something new every day.

@krlosz1996 5 лет назад

By the way, have you considered doing a demo/tutorial on nocturnal landscapes? The ones I've seen on RU-vid are mostly fantasy inclined or not really professional so I'd love to see your take on that kind of scenery

@xTK421x 2 года назад

I have a nightscape I have failed on 15 or 20 times and I have tried everything (I know). It is a space sky over a nightscape desert, a tree in the middle has light ascending to infinity. Dark blue is what I am imagining the primary to be with Diox. Purple or Perm. Mauve highlights(?) or "lowlights", I am struggling for a word here. Less frequently used alt colors. Something I drew 30 years ago and now want to paint it. So, thank you for requesting this. STEVE: Are you listening?

@OldLady-um9kt 5 лет назад

Thank you for the great demo. I'm liking the new grays. But I have to admit I love Payne's Gray the best. The new grays are giving my imagination a workout today. Thank you Steve for the video. Have an adventurous artistic week. Hugs!

@lorraineclark3517 5 лет назад

This review of new Daniel Smith paints is very helpful as well as your previous video on your choices for landscape painting. This has given me a nudge to reexamine what I have on my palette and do some adjustments for spring outdoor painting.

@cathywiken9243 5 лет назад

After watching your tutorial, I'm tempted to get several of those grays. I love the moodiness of the colors and can think of a lot of ways they can be used.

@danamaxineyandt980 5 лет назад

Thank you for comparing the 2019 greys. I loved seeing the variations in mood between the two paintings.

@karenjohnson6487 5 лет назад

Thanks Steve. Lots of good info. Always love your studies/spontaneous paintings.

@doreentracey9815 5 лет назад

So informative & helpful - many thanks. You provide terrific guidance & explanation in the detailed use of watercolours.

@lyndamcculloch8943 4 года назад

Hi Steve It is so nice of you to show these different gays. I have and love Jane's Gray. She is so knowledgeable in watercolor paints, if not the best when it comes to color. I will stick with her gray because the others were either opaque or had black in them which I just don't like the dead and flatness of black. As always another great video.

@mikeyfinger8026 5 лет назад

Your swatch cards are so cute! I love the edges and even the little edge around the hole I’m tickled ❤️

@evetteurbino 5 лет назад

Wow! That was great demo of these new grays. Someone said here on your comments that they look like Copic grays and they do. I really like the titanium gray a lot. My next cools to buy. Thanks for sharing 😊

Nice paintings Steve and Thanks for the review.

@helanna9843 5 лет назад

After watching this video, which had some great wet on wet tips, I bought the Alvaro's Fresco Grey. It's gorgeous! Thanks for both.

@lydiawebber1846 5 лет назад

Thank you for your detailed reviews! Been watching a couple of videos and they really helped me to choose my own color and pigment selection, paper, and learned a lot of how tos for watercolor.

@essietangle9931 5 лет назад

I have been thinking about these but now I know what I want. This has been great! And you saved me a couple of bucks for sure.

I love Joseph Zbukvic. I grew up in Europe and he takes me back to those days. Lots try to paint like him but they aren't him.

@Jecht1221 5 лет назад

I would be tempted but mixing grays with watercolor is so easy and fun and you can tint them to cool or warm pretty easy.

@rashone2879 5 лет назад

Good point, very true.

@BornAgainFarmGirl 5 лет назад

They look so much like the Copic grays both warm and cools . Very cool 😎!

@jenthulhu 5 лет назад

@JaredCullum 5 лет назад

I saw that they released these. It takes a lot for me to try new colors haha but I was wondering about some of these. I'm glad you did this video so I could see them in practice. :)

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Glad it was a help Jared!

@sev2981 5 лет назад

The second demo looked very sci-fi almost. Reminds me of the game Bioshock with the almost apocolyptic feel of the sky. This was awesome, thank you so much. :)

@somethinguncreative 5 лет назад

"ugly surprises." Such a great way to describe what can happen with push back.

@KatrinaYancey780 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. I've been obsessed with skies lately. I was observing some building storm clouds yesterday evening and I noticed the white and lighter areas at the top where they were still exposed to sun. I was wondering how I could accomplish it and your method of intentional backwashes would fit the bill. Thanks for the demonstration. These colors are very beautiful. Your review did them much justice. Thanks again.

@lmac_z 5 лет назад

As always I love your video...pretty sure my local Blick does too...my pocketbook? Yeah, the pocketbook hates them.

@KateTheSleepyTeacher 5 лет назад

I just bought 3 of the greys. Not sure I need them but I bought them because I have palettes dedicated to them and wanted to add to it. Plus, like you, I’m a sucker for new paint !

@carolgreenlee1100 5 лет назад

I was really curious about all the grays....fresco gray Jane's gray and titanium gray are really winners!

@EM-ug8ud 5 лет назад

Carol Greenlee agree I’m obsessed with Jane’s and titanium!

@dees3179 5 лет назад

That grey titanium is really interesting. Will have to save up for it. I'm another one who's been using Jaynes grey for years. One of the first things I learned to mix.

@VanmeterFL 4 года назад

Wow, Steve. Watching you paint these reminded me of Nita Engle. Learning to allow watercolor to "paint itself" is a skill I'll spend the rest of my life trying to acquire. You have certainly mastered the technique. Thank you for sharing these amazing demonstrations. Your review was very helpful. I've been adding grays recently and have Neutral Tint, Hermatite Genuine, Jane's Grey, Payne's Blue Gray. I've never had a black on my palette, but am adding Lunar Black. I am able to add one other gray to my palette and was so impressed with Alvaro's Fresco Grey. Is it enough different to the others in my palette to add, or would you suggest something else?

@ArtistWizardry 5 лет назад

I do like the cool grays. Great clouds!

@Roslyngal 5 лет назад

The Grey titanium is intriguing, but I think I’ll stick with the more versatile Buff titanium and tip it greyer with umber or neutral tint. Just remember to use seperate rinse water for PW6 pigments, or you’ll lose the transparency of the other pigments. And don’t ‘double dip’ brushes into other wells. Learnt that the hard way!

@dees3179 5 лет назад

Good advice. Thank you.

@LanasCooking 5 лет назад

These are both gorgeous paintings! The bottom one puts me in mind of Ansel Adams photos.

@xxtragg 5 лет назад

For M. Graham gouache, the only gray range I every use is cobalt blue and cadmium orange. I premix it as neutral as possible and add more cadmium orange when I want it warmer and more cobalt to make it cooler. Most beautiful grays ever from these two and when applied with lots of water you get some nice separation. Mass tone is very dark. I haven’t tried it with watercolor yet and would love to see if it works just as well.

@jesswoodhere Год назад

Incredibly helpful!

@agnesparker2782 5 лет назад

@catherinelevison3310 5 лет назад

Thank you, I learned a lot. I’ve been doing a lot of landscapes with clouds lately and using paper towels to blot. Very helpful to learn about these new DANIEL SMITH greys. Thinking about visiting the store instead of using Amazon but we will see.

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

And these grays aren't available on Amazon yet unfortunately.

@catherinelevison3310 5 лет назад

The Mind of Watercolor hi, thanks for letting me know.

@snuuby5468 4 года назад

In Alberta, Canada if we see clouds with a Gray Titinuim color in a thunderstorm cloud it is a tornado cloud. As soon as I saw this color I thought of what we see often in Alberta. Last year we had 21 tornados in our province alone.

@jaspermartin7444 5 лет назад

wow. Thank you so much Steve. For months I have been wondering how come my paint refused to run all over the place like yours does so beautifully, to the point where I began to wonder if you put detergent or oxgall in your water. But nope, you just use a ton of water and paint! Oops I really can be a bit slow sometimes... :P Extremely helpful tip, I'll start using more, and also much appreciate the beautiful cloud formation and for the nice review of greys!

@MelanCholy2001 3 года назад

{hugs} you answered a question last month and it helped so much, about that QoR or DS "lifting fluid" (saved me cash, thanks!): I've just been busy. And I've been kicking myself over the Primafakes 🤦😂 but I've gotten over that now. DS has a few colors I can't replicate (same with each brand, I think) so I'm just avoiding all "pigments not listed" watercolors. Sennelier has that Bright Red which is probably PR254; I don't use it, it was a gift. Anyway I decided I was getting some freakin GREYS and here you are again! Thank you so much for this demo. I removed that titanium gray and opted for (sigh) Jane's, since I always mix it, and that first catagnet cool gray. (Do you have any "Dead Sea" dirt mountains? I'm struggling hard with Mediterranean stuff. Those huge dirt mountains and "across the Jordan" into Jordan/Syria is crazy hard. I might be able to use that awful radioactive-looking Lunar Earth after all!)

@nadeaner.cowley513 3 года назад

I love how every artist is different...you said you tend to lean more towards cool greys and I am the complete opposite; Im a warm grey type of gal--the yellow/warm undertones just do something to me...lol. anyway great video, thanks for sharing❤

I wouldn't have thought to use both warm grays and cool grays in a moody sky, but I like it a lot! I think they'd go great is our Colorado Aspen trees too. Thanks for the demo. All of those new grays, on DickBlick.com are gone and backordered to arrive April 22nd. jsyk

@barryteghtmeyer5466 4 года назад

Steve, Do you have a video explaining how you organize your swatch cards? I really like how simple yet informative they are. I tend to do color charts, but I like the information that you can get from your format. THANKS!

@mindofwatercolor 4 года назад

Its a stamp from Waffle Flower. I have a review of that but no video really on how I organize swatch cards. I generally just keep a deck of them in the drawer with the paints.

@barryteghtmeyer5466 4 года назад

The Mind of Watercolor thank you! The stamp was more of what I was looking for. Are you using Hot press watercolor paper for your swatches? I don’t think I want to invest in a die cut machine, so I thought I’d just cut paper to size and then hole punch.

@nattyw495 3 года назад

@cassiescreations9828 5 лет назад

These are awesome cloud scenes and I enjoyed watching you use that "hideous" and addictive backwash. I really like the Gray Titanium and I am not that fond of opaque watercolors - not yet, anyway. Your use of that color is beautiful and the color of your clouds remind me of the severe storm clouds I see during the insanely hot and humid months. However, that color most resembles the smoke that occurs when the sugar-cane fields are burned here, during harvest season. I might need to add a little light orange in to get that perfect smoke color. Thanks for the review!

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

I was thinking this same. It sort of resembles forest fire smoke or even smog.

@carlolsen 5 лет назад

I've pre-mixed my own imitation Jane's/Payne's gray with transparent red oxide and french ultramarine (both Daniel Smith) since I don't keep Burnt Sienna on my palette. So handy to have that ready so I can just through in a bit more of one or the other to warm it up or cool it down.

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Yes, I do the same. I'm a red iron oxide fan of the highest order.

@laurasmith444 5 лет назад

Thank you for introducing some DS grays. And I really loved the stormy skies demos. I would like to see your other videos demonstrating Sterling Edwards blending and glazing brushes. I have a set but I'm still trying to get the hang of using them. Can you please link your demos using them? Thanks.

I linked in the description to Edwards himself demonstrating his brush.

@CatsInaCradle 5 лет назад

@bilgeizgin 3 года назад

Hello! Great skyscape, really impressive and inspiring! Could you demonstrate how to use gray titanium by Daniel Smith? I've recently purchased that color and it looks really ugly in every mix I make! Both the granularity and the color is quite disappointing. I don't know what to do with that huge tube of watercolor. But I still want to give it a second chance, so I'd really appreciate if you make a video using that color. Take care, stay safe and "negative" 😊

Alvaro's Fresco Gray mostly and some Caliente Gray and a little Gray Titanium. A few very faint dashes of Quinacridone Rust at the end.

@viviennewilliams5895 5 лет назад

Thank you very much, I do like your thorough and systematic approach to your analysis . Is it possible now for you to incorporate some of these greys with other colours , for example for painting shadows? I have real problems putting shadows in my paintings ...usually messing up a reasonable painting ! It struck me during your demonstration of cloud painting , that painting shadows be a logical step? Thank you again. Vivienne Williams

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Yes, absolutely. In fact thats how I would prefer to use them as I mentioned in the video, with other colors.

@viviennewilliams5895 5 лет назад

Hello again, thank you for your reply, actually what I meant in my question to you but perhaps didn’t phrase very well is; can you please do a video demonstration , using some of the Daniel Smith greys mixed with other colours to paint shadows? I’m interested to see how you would actually paint shadows ( ie) getting the colours right within the palette of the painting and how these greys can assist with that challenge? And, perhaps talking through the techniques of painting shadows ? Many thanks, Vivienne Williams

@pattycyr8662 5 лет назад

I wrote a comment before but it didn't take from what I can see from my end. I got a lot out of this video and I found it interesting and great to give attention to grays - and seeing cool/warm grays and Jane's grey. . Thanks for sharing this with us, and I love the clouds. Can watercolor sticks be used for this - I recently heard about them but they seem like it would be hard to get the necessary paint concentration, etc. from them. Would you be willing to do a video on watercolor sticks?

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Sure, they can be used for anything regular watercolor is used for. Don't know if I'll ever get any but if I do I may do a review. Thanks!

What's up with making them so shallow of late? Frustrating. Even with gouche work it's not very deep. Glad I hung on to my old stuff. Bought 2 of those I love. This was also a GREAT intro to the new grays. I had to put the brakes on buying more tubes of paint, self-imposed, but love creating grays, blacks, browns. Excellent info, thank you! Fanna Turano Denver, CO

@huskidawgs 5 лет назад

So I go to the Dick Blick website to check out these paints, and sure enough--every one of the greys you reviewed is out of stock, on backorder. What an influence you have on purchasers and suppliers!

@vespa4jen 5 лет назад

I’m very new to your videos AND to watercolors - getting sucked into DS brand and now all these fab grays. You are amazing, and so very helpful in your tutorial videos. Thank you for this one. Btw, I see you have a tan colored material attached to your clipboard(?). What is it and how did you attach it so the tape doesn’t pull it up when tape is removed?

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Thanks! It just a shelf/drawer liner material I got at Target. So stuff won't slide as easily on an angle. I used double stick tape to fasten it.

@rosebudsue3056 5 лет назад

Steve...wonderful studies on the new grey colors from DS. Have been waiting for them to be released. When I saw your new vid, was very excited. You had color swatch pieces of paper to show each color individually. Where can I get them? They are so valuable to learn the color and experiment how the color tests out. Can never find them so if you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

@mindofwatercolor 5 лет назад

Thanks! I added a link to the description for the swatch stamp. Its a stamp you stamp onto watercolor paper. I did a review on them a few months ago.
