The beautiful DS Green Gold makes me think of spring & summer at dawn & American poet Robert Frost's 'Nothing Gold Can Stay.' : "Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; but only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down today. Nothing gold can stay. "

Thanks Michele. When I started painting I made a separate pallet for staining colors( once I found out what they were), so I could learn them by using them. Also made a swatch sheet and labeled swatch sheet for that pallet as a key. Then just used the pallet. It didn't take long to remember them.

I Love Quinns. When I was a kid I got a small box of crayons. I was disappointed that there wasn't this one color I had seen my friend have. My mom asked me about it. The next day she gave me a huge box of crayons...I immediately found the special Quinn pink and pulled it. I gave her back the rest! She said don't you want the rest of the box? 😂 Silly kids. And my love affair with color was born.

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Yes, I've watched the video about darkening watercolors. I think I tried everything in it and the watercolor layers still look way lighter than if I were to use color pencils or gouache. Maybe my expectations are a bit off, because watercolors are not a dark medium, but a video about your shadow set or your universal skin shadow tone would still be amazing! 😊 Thanks again!

Love your channel - took meticulous notes on this one, I've really been looking for this information. Question: you started your swatching with a color you called Permanent Blue Violet. Was that one a Da Vinci, or some other brand? Is the word "permanent" a clue to whether it's staining?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 жыл бұрын

Talens Rembrandt. Permanent usually means that a new pigment or formulation has swapped in to replace a traditional fugitive (fading) pigment. Example genuine madder rose/permanent rose

Michelle your wealth of information is amazing and so helpful! Thank you so much! Kindly let me know how things are going on England as to co vid? In America they are starting in on monkey pox. Are you seeing alot of masks? I see them here on the occasional old person but mainly on teens which frightens me.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 жыл бұрын

No one is wearing masks here (virtually no one anyhow) which is not good because the virus is spreading fast. Unfortunately people have become weary of taking government advice. I had Covid after being on a plane. Pretty much everyone who travels comes back with it. I am over 50 so will be eligible for my fourth vaccination in due course (they start with the oldest then work down).

Hi Michelle, Do you know any non granulating blue other than SAA? SAA is expensive. My skies don't look smooth with granulating blue even on arches cold pressed

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 2 жыл бұрын

The non granulating blues are Phthalo, Prussian and Indigo. If you want an Ultramarine go for 'green shade' rather than French, it's a little less granulating.

I’m reading a lot about mixing watercolors and and trying to wrap my head around opaque, transparent and staining colors. I’m reading manufacturing information and seeing some colors say they are both opaque and staining which really confuses me because you’re saying staining are transparent, yes? Is it just that different brands are going to work differently?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 3 ай бұрын

Staining colours are generally the name given to strong, transparent colours. But some manufacturers may describe very strong but not transparent colours, or mixed pigments containing both to be staining. At the end of the day it's just a word and people decide how to use it. It doesn't really matter, knowing what your own paints do, how they swatch, layer, mix and lift is what will help you the most.

@JenniferNoelle 3 ай бұрын

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber thanks for following up. I guess the reason I’m concerned is because I read a blog post somewhere that said, for example, staining colors should only be mixed with other staining colors and opaques with other opaques, etc. So I was believing it but then got confused when a paint said it was BOTH staining and opaque. would you say it’s not really that black and white?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 3 ай бұрын

@@JenniferNoelle well pigments vary even within numbers. There's no reason you shouldn't mix pigments with different properties. If someone tells you only to mix transparent with transparent they're talking about preserving the transparency. But if you're prepared to lose some transparency (or any other property like opacity, granulation) then you can go ahead. It's an artistic preference not any scientific reason. Granulating colours will always settle or separate on the palette so those should be stirred in between applying. But any watercolor can be mixed with any other if you like the results.
