Focus on Blues
Рет қаралды 9,289
7 ай бұрынThere are a number of the different Blues available. I don't use very many - generally Ultramarine as a warm or purple-leaning blue; Cerulean Chromium as a cool or green-leaning blue; Phthalo Blue Green Shade or Red Shade as mixing blues; and sometimes Indanthrone Blue or the lovely granulating Primatek blues from Daniel Smith for special effects. Many I have shown here are difficult to get hold or, or discontinued, but it's nice to see them! You can find these are more on my website arranged by pigment number. www.janeblundellart.com/blue-...
My previous Focus on Greens and Focus on Earths were without voice-over. I have added to the greens and realised the extended version. hope you find my comments in this one helpful :-)
Note - I have upload a higher quality version (marked as unlisted rather than public since I can't over-ride this version) but it doesn't look a lot clearer, possibly as I zoomed in a fair bit with this video. Here is the link • Focus on Blues - 1080 ... if you want to have a look for yourself.

Jane, you have been such a blessing in my watercolor journey. I never took formal lessons. After a 25 year hiatus, I retired and started painting again. I knew that I needed to go back and start from square one if I were to become the best artist possible. I had never learned pigments before, just colors. Your blog has been an immeasurable help. I just discovered your book on mixing, which I definitely plan to purchase. Thanks for all you do ❤

Thanks for the video! I worked in watercolors for years but now work in oils. I miss the quality of the colors and the pigments. It was a joy to watch this, especially with your commentary. You have a lovely voice.

Zecchi Lapiz Lazuli has been on my dream list for ages. Thank you for this. So lovely to see you pop up here. I’m in the midst of a house move, but hope to take both your courses this year. 😊 Take good care.

thanks Jane...any chance you could improve the video quality from 360p to maybe 1080HD?...as 360p is very blurry and we can barely see clearly...poor quality video...sadly...your videos deserve to have much better visual quality as they are SOOO VISUAL!....if you could change that on your end...it would be great!...thanks Janis

I save them according to the KZfaq/social media settings on my computer, which had changed for some reason. Will look at re-loading once I figure out how to save the higher resolution on KZfaq as well as my computer...however it may not make a big difference as I have zoomed in quite a bit with this video...

I second this. Wonderful video and thank you so much but 360p is blurry sadly. 😊

I'm intrigued by the Lapis Lazuli you showed as a sample. I'm off to your website to search for an entry about it, and how to spell it. I dread to think how hard it would be to get hold of 😊 (Zecchi not Zegghi! That explains why my Internet searches failed!)

Hi June! Been following you for years! Thank you for what you do! What is the round palette of blues with lids for each color? Where can that be purchased?
@janeblundellart 6 ай бұрын
It's called the Aquarelle palette, and can still be purchased from Carverstudio.com as far as I know.

Hello! I am interested in unusual pigments, so I was surprised when you said that Old Holland's Manganese blue is the real PB33. I have looked for it in their website, but the two manganese blues they have in the chart are multipigmented, so I am confused. Are you sure it is the real PB33? Thank you very much for your videos. I wish you a happy new year
@janeblundellart 6 ай бұрын
What I said was ‘Old Holland was the last to have the pure manganese available commercially’. I painted the genuine PB33, but they don’t make that any more. Sorry for the confusion. Happy new year to you too.

Why do you prefer cerulean blue chromium over regular cerulean blue?
@janeblundellart 5 ай бұрын
DS Cerulean Chromium, PB36, is richer and stronger than regular cerulean PB35. I'd rather start with a stronger colour and water it down than have a soft colour that has little strength. This pigment is called Cobalt Cerulean in Schmincke and is the same pigment (in a different form) used in the gorgeous DS Cobalt Turquoise.

Once again, ultramarine is a cool blue, as purple is a cool color. Green shades are warm, as yellow is a warm color. Think about it!
@janeblundellart 6 ай бұрын
I prefer to concentrate on the bias of each colour to avoid any confusion about warm and cool colours. However, though we may agree to disagree about warm and cool blues, I have to disagree about greens being warm and purples being cool. Both are made with a warm and a cool colour and both can be either warm or cool depending how much of the warm and how much of the cool colour is in each. A yellow-green will be warm; a blue-green will be cool. A red-purple will be warm, a blue-purple will be cool. Only oranges, being made with two warm colours, can be said to be always warm. (Some warmer, or higher chroma, than others of course - it's all relative.)
