Love this pigment, but hadn't been using it nearly as much as I'd like. I have the Da Vinci one and, while I normally adore the unpredictable nature of granulating pigments, the consistent pattern of DV has made it lovely for subtle texture in mixes.

I love Manganese blue from DanielSmith but then I discovered Cinereous Blue from Sennelier which is just bright enough to it that it may replace my Manganese blue hues.

@Dr. Oto Kano unfortunately, I cannot get the Wallace Seymour paint in the U.S., as they only ship to the U.K. I do have the DaVinci version, (after watching Eve's Manganese video,) & it's lovely. 💙

I would love to see the genuine side by side with a Zirconium Blue. I have the zirconium in my palate and I adore it; it's granulating pattern looks very similar to the swatch given for genuine manganese. Hue-wise, I think they might be quite different though!

This series has been very helpful to pick colours for my palette. Could you please cover dioxizane violet.

@glorioskiola Жыл бұрын

I love this color. Have the DaVinci as well as Daniel Smith. Prefer the DS for the granulation, but DV is perfectly acceptable. Good suggestion to try one of these hues as a substitute for thalo blue!

@deborahmiller3126 2 ай бұрын

I was wondering what you have a doctorate in? I haven't been able to find out easily at least.

@DalekDay Жыл бұрын

how does Daniel smith make a phthalo blue granulate? it's so striking seeing all the smooth phthalos and then DS has the same pigment acting in such a different way. It makes me wonder how many pigments we label as "smooth" can be made to granulate if they were manufactured differently. It also makes work like yours so valuable, knowing that I can get a phthalo blue that doesn't go nearly as dark or stain as heavily as a normal phthalo blue paint would. Similarly, I know that some pigments are very opaque at one size and very transparent at a different size, like PY42 yellow oxide-Golden makes both a yellow oxide and a transparent yellow oxide. I guess I just want to know what other pigments are labeled as one thing or the other, when it turns out they can be made to behave in multiple different ways depending on how the paint is made!

are there only Wallace Seymour still producting the Manganese Blue Genuine, PB33?

@hamsteripyora Жыл бұрын

Very interesting to me that PB33 Mn Blue has all but disappeared but many companies still produce PV16 Mn Violet. Wonder if there isn’t the same environmental concern? Either way, they’re beautiful pigments and I love to see the comparisons!

@mikepolo2887 Жыл бұрын

As far as I understand, environmental concern is mainly about barium (and NO2 that is produced during production), that is not present in manganese violet.

These comparison videos are really wonderful. But every time I watch one, I regret more and more my purchase of Mission Gold paints. I purchased the 34 set of pure pigments and the 34 set of mixed colors. You don't have many positive things to say about this brand, it rarely passes any of the tests. The paints are what the paint are. I wish I had seen your videos before I had made my investment and invested in another brand(s). So many KZfaqrs spoke so positively about this brand and about what a good deal it is to purchase MG sets. Yet, I notice very few professional artists use it on their palettes. Most of the hype were in the unboxing videos and that was about it. I will continue to use it for cards and journals though. Thank you for all your hard work in making these videos.

@OtoKano Жыл бұрын

I'm so sorry that my videos made you feel that way :( Unfortunately, for me personally, they do fail many tests. However, that doesn't mean you can't enjoy the paint you have. I've seen amazing artists create beautiful work with W&N cotman, so anything is possible. Mission Gold is great if you like super strong colors.

@@OtoKano Actually, you have taught me a valuable lesson about waiting and being more intense on my research before purchasing watercolor brands/paints. So, again thank you.
