You are the BEST at explaining things in the simplest way using pigment numbers which is so important. I haven't been around, but you are my go to for watercolor answers and how to's.

I love M Graham sap green because it looks exactly like a lot of the foliage in my area. Its a very realistic, true earthy green that we see in Central or Eastern Oregon. Yes, the greens here can be naturally dull but its realistic. We have about every kind of green in Oregon's foliage including that bright spring green that people think is not natural. But this green is totally natural in our Willamette Valley in the spring and summer. I love all greens because you will find it somewhere in nature. You can sometimes even see that PG7 phthalo green in the water on the Southern Oregon coast on a bright sunny day.

I like linear mixes. It makes the different tones blend together most nicely and also simplifies mixing, because the results are intuitive. From that perspective, I think prussian blue had the best performance of the blues overall. Lots of amazing mixes. Only with hansa yellow deep did it darken too much. I like the cerulean blue too, especially the fact that it neutralizes the yellow ochre quite well. This fits, because both hues are visual complementaries. The greens mixed using Phtalo blue clearly stick out too much in the mixes with the cool yellows, but look much better with the warm yellows. Ultramarine blue tended to darken and gray out too much - I like it the least. I don't want to compare cool and warm yellows, since they are quite different colors and I could not choose a winner for either hue. Depends on the blue you use.
@rosawolke2788 Жыл бұрын
I also liked the mixes with PB27 (prussian blue) the most, however there seem to be issues regarding lightfastness with this pigment. Maybe PB60 (indanthrene blue) would be a better choice. My favorite green was PG8 until I noticed that it is absolutely not lightfast. I’m still searching for a good alternative - Schmincke’s permanent green olive is the closest I found to PG8 but it is a litte cooler and less dark in mass tone.
@fidrewe99 Жыл бұрын
@@rosawolke2788 Schmincke’s permanent green olive is just phthalo green B.S. mixed with PO63, so isn't it also more intense? It seems like PG17 might get close to PG8.

Thanks for this. I'm a beginner, so I am making endless scales, and watching everything I can find on mixing. I have gathered that yellows and blues contain more green than it appears, so mixes tend to have a brighter green than expected. Even a warm blue and a warm yellow will produce a green. another dark green that I just bought and quite like is cobalt green (PG26 - mine is QOR and very dark almost like perylene ).

The Green Apatite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine from Daniel Smith are both absolutely gorgeous colours! Every time I see a Daniel Smith colour being used, I lament that I live in Europe and that they're so incredibly expensive here, particularly the colours made with precious stones like Green Apatite Genuine and Serpentine Genuine! I agree with you as well about Prussian Blue and Hansa Yellow Deep making the nicest greens. I don't have any Hansa Yellow on my palette but similar results can be achieved with any other deep, warm yellow, I think. Indian Yellow from Winsor and Newton or M Graham is my preferred warm yellow. Prussian Blue and Raw Umber make a surprisingly nice green as well actually. Thanks again for another great episode, Denise. Looking forward to seeing more from the colour mixing series. :)
@marissaswinghammer31497 жыл бұрын
Check out the Daniel Smith sticks especially for the Pimatec line of paints. The pigment to binder load is greater than the tube and so they make a better value and some people cup them up into pans. I am an American living in the UK and I try to wait to buy Daniel Smith when I go home.

Catalina Garay I think it depends on what blues and yellows you’re getting. If you’re getting a cool toned blue along with a cool yellow, get sap green as it’ll be harder to mix. If you got a warmer blue and yellow, get an emerald green. It all depends on what you have, what you can do with it, and what you think you’ll use.

Grateful these exist like very old books!
