This video is so helpful for a novice painter! Like many beginners, I have way too much paint and too many colors-I was given paint or bought a few sets or lots of artist-quality paints I found at thrift stores or yard sales or online, avoiding student-grade paint. I have put together an inventory of my artist or pro-quality paints in a studio notebook, which includes pigment numbers, handling qualities, and uses-it's also searchable on my laptop. My strategy now is to have a limited palette I begin with for every painting (from Zorne up to about 10 max). Then, I go to "secondary" or mixed pigment type paints for specific situations. I can quickly search keywords that stand out when considering my composition and plan for stuff I'm painting in the studio. Quick studies or plein air? Not so strategic. Over time, I expect to use up and cull out many of the mixed-pigment colors or whatever they would be called. Thank you so very much!!!

Wow, that Chromatic black is amazing! I'm gonna see if I can get one in the future. I've seen in the store before and the reason why it stuck out to me was because it was more expensive than other blacks. Black's are usually series 1, which makes them much cheaper but higher series are more epensive and that Chromatic Black is a series 3, I think.

Walcott Fine Art hi Jason, thank you for taking the time...explaining Your palette along with the different brand names. I learned a lot...the Yellow Ochre...I can see that it's not as dark as others..very nice ..also the Transparent Red Oxide, which I now understand it's use from watching your beautiful Orange demo. The Chromatic black...by Gamblin...another good tip..I like that it's a mixed black. I know for landscapes the Ivory black...and many don't realize this..is it takes along time to dry..and many use it in the blocking in stage...so not a good idea. I never liked Ultramarine blue, I think many use it as their go to blue when they use a limited palette...and it's just not a great blue for skies. I think many factors such as where or what the climate is..other states and such ...blues should be taken into consideration as to what color is the sky in their area. Same with seascapes....love that Gamblin teal...I actually only use Gamblin...and the radients...as well as the grays. As a beginner, I know I should get familiar with mixing the hues...however, I do pre mix for what landscape or seascape I would be painting in plein air. Its usually foggy in the bay area...the greys help with atmospheric perspective...as well as the radients. I found W&N has a beautiful ultramarine deep blue...very nice for seascapes...mountains... Thanks for your time...I learned a lot here with various hues and brand names...

Hi Jason, just wondering how far a tube of 40ml paint will last for, and obviously some colours are used more often so maybe just for the colours you use the most of? How many paintings can you do/how many months before you have to repurchase a new tube? Thanks.
@walcottfineart50884 жыл бұрын
That's a hard question to answer accurately as it depends on your style of painting and how often you paint, how large you paint etc. The 40mL tubes do seem to last longer than you'd think. It also depends on the color. You'll use more white than anything else. I would say a really rough guess for an average size of 11" x 14" or 12" x 16" might be 15-20 paintings per tube? But don't quote me on that. Personally I always buy the large 150mL tubes since they are more economical over time, but I know people can't always do that. Thanks for watching! :)

You call thalo "warm" LOL! Was doing okay until you classed Ultra as cool and thalol as warm. Complete opposite to the rest of us as I've come to learn so far after 40 years painting. Never mind, temperatures is probably the most subjective area of colour but I think you'll find the blues from warm to cool are: Ultramarine (red shade) Ultramarine (green shade) cobalt, ,cerulean, cobalt teal, then thalo(the coolest blue).

Hello Jason a palette related question for you. Do you ever try out a specific artist's palette to paint with? I recently tried out the Zoran palette and enjoyed the forced choices it encourages you to make hard choices and before that I tried Caravaggio's palette. The two palettes share reds, vermillion and yet the effects are completely different with the Zoran less vibrant but far more in harmony. It is possible to achieve a unique atmosphere with either. I find trying out the palettes of the master's that I gain a deeper understanding of not just he history of the various traditional paints used but the methods and the mindset through practical application. It's simultaneously fun and challenging, with the handling and properties of the original paints proving resistant to manipulation at times. If you haven't tried that I yet I encourage you to give it a go. As always, thank you again for sharing.

Hi Jason, I have got another question. I use ultra limited palette of titanium white, alizarin crimson, ultramarine, burnt umber and cad yellow medium with 3-4 auxiliary colors for limited usage. These serve my purpose very well as I use natural lighting for my source. Alizarin crimson works great as a tone changer but it cannot achieve a good orange color. I saw you use Pyrrol Red which is sort of a modern 'in between' red and I am sure it can produce either great violets or great natural bright oranges. I don't have access to Pyrrol Red in my country. Can you please suggest a more common not too orangy and not too blueish red? Do you think Cad red deep may serve the purpose?
@walcottfineart50887 жыл бұрын
Thanks for a great question! If you can get Winsor & Newton brand oil paint in your country, their color called "Bright Red" is Pyrrol Red. If that doesn't help, then yes, Cadmium Red Light or Medium would work very well for oranges, but it does lean to the orange side itself. There is also Naphthol Red, which isn't quite as permanent, but it's a good neutral red as well. I will be doing a video on different reds in the next few weeks.

Hi, beautiful palette, thanks for sharing. About a choise for cool red, instead of Alizarin Crimsom (PR 83), have you ever tried Perylene Maroon (PR 179)? There's a german company that produces it (Schmincke, in its lines "Norma" and "Mussini"), but I think other brands also produce it. I like very much PR 179, very permanent and useful for landscapes and portraits. (It's just my opinion, I'm an amateur painter and I have no interest with any company.)

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I have heard good things about Perylene Maroon, but have never tried it. Another very close substitute for Alizarin Crimson is PR 264, which Rembrandt sells as "Permanent Madder Deep". Schmincke Mussini is a great brand! The reason I like Quinacridone Magenta for my cool red is because it is very saturated. You can always dull a color down, so it's best to start with the most saturated colors possible. It gives you the widest range of mixtures. :)

Yellow Primrose 5 oz --- Pyrrole Red 5 oz --- Ultramarine Blue 5 oz --- Phthalo Blue 2 (Green S.) 2 oz --- Yellow Oxide 5 oz --- Transparent Red Iron Oxide 2 oz --- Burnt Umber 5 oz --- Titanium White 8 oz....OBS 1: are those tube paint sizes well distributed? Do i need the 5 oz tubes for Cad Yellow and Pyrrole red? OBS 2: I'm in a middle of a debate between Yellow Oxide vs Yellow Ochre, and I find the Open Acrylics Yellow Oxide more opaque and more greenish, which is good in my view (for mixing greens and making neutrals in general, been more opaque). ....OBS 3: The reasoning behind the Tr. Red Iron Oxide is because I wanted a orange-ish earth color and the possibility for easy glazing was nice to have, but i'm not 100% sure on the TRIO yet... The other closest contestants to substitute the TRIO would be: Red Oxide, Mars Yellow, Burnt Sienna, Nickel Azo Yellow, but I'm open to suggestions. What would be your choice substitute the TRIO?

in Richeson are two umbers "raw umber" and "cool raw umber" which one is close to vasari? and what do you think about Richeson oil color in general? is good brand? because is cheaper than others
@walcottfineart50888 жыл бұрын
Great question! The answer is actually surprising! The regular Raw Umber in the Richeson line is cooler and closer to the Vasari color (they are almost identical). The Richeson "Cool" Raw Umber is actually warmer! I don't get it but it's true. I bought a tube and had to return it to Blick for the regular. Yes, the Richeson Shiva is a good brand. I do recommend it.

Walcott Fine Art I was wondering during the video and now further due to your response, if you know you accidentally said that Phthalo Blue was warmer than Ultramarine. Because you said this consistently, I couldn't tell if you were aware or if you have the words switched up. The reason I wonder if you switched up the words is that you state that the "cool Umber" is warmer. I haven't actually seen the two Umbers so what you say may be true but it leads to further confusion due to what you state in the video. Phthalo blue is a cooler blue than Ultramarine which is a warm blue. Can you clarify if you misspoke and that the cool umber IS a warmer umber or if you were mistaken in your cool and warm terminology which would mean that the cool umber is actually cooler. Sorry if this comment is a bit of a tongue twister but for the mind. Even I'm getting a headache from just writing it. Either way, I love your videos and you have a new subscriber!

Nice vid Jason. I have a question, I have quarts of artist oils used in the billboard industry made by Classic/ Dana (Triangle Coatings). Much of it is rather thick, so I thinned portions of it down with linseed oil. This may have been a mistake. Can you suggest another additive/oil to further thin it to painting consistency?
@walcottfineart50887 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Vernon! I'm not sure why the linseed oil didn't work on an oil based paint. You could try thinning it with a little mineral spirits like Gamsol or Turpenoid and see if that works. I am not familiar with that brand of paint or billboard paint in general, so I may not be the person to ask. Good luck!

Walcott Fine Art It's just artist oils and the linseed oil thinned it nicely but I heard that the linseed may make the paint dry too fast and I may need to add some clove oil to slow the drying down a bit.
@walcottfineart50887 жыл бұрын
I see! Linseed oil usually has a medium rate dry time. If you add Clove Oil, I would be very careful! Just a drop or two. Another way to do it would be to add some Walnut Oil or Safflower Oil. That will slow down drying time as well. Hope that helps! :)

When you make the traditional medium, can Turpinoid be used in place of turpentine?
@walcottfineart50887 жыл бұрын
Hi Dorothy, Thanks for a great question! Actually, no, you cannot do this as Turpenoid & other petroleum based thinners are not compatible with Dammar. You must use genuine turpentine. However, you need to use the really good stuff...DON'T get it from Home Depot! My next video is actually going to be all about mediums and I will cover this in more detail. Thanks for watching! :)

It's entirely possible to paint without solvents. Linseed oil is non toxic...it's the exact same thing as Flaxseed oil which people take as a dietary supplement. :)
