I love the second camera with the closeups of you swatching. With only the top view it' s sometimes hard to see the colours, especially when they are still wet and the light is reflecting 😊

Your swatch chart is a thing of beauty. I would hang this on my wall! I'm so happy that you've fallen in love with watercolours! When you find the right ones for you, they are magical. Your watercolour work is my favourite so far (and I LOVE your work in general!).

Suggested color for deep dark blue for night sky: PB60 Indanthrone Blue. I live in USA, so I have DaVinci. It's affordable here. But I think it's really expensive in Europe. Roman Szmal sells it, which might be a better option for Europeans. Suggested Yellow: PY150 Nickel Azo Yellow. My favorite! Trust me! You need to try it! Deep Blue (PB74 from Deep Deep Light) looks lovely, but I have not had the opportunity to try it in person. If you want to try a dusty pink that granulated heavily, then Potter's Pink. The only brand I've tried is Schmincke. I actually don't like granulating colors so I don't love it. A really deep green I love is PBk31-Perelyne Green. It's considered a black. In it's darkest mass tone, it does look black but in a wash it's a deep cool green. Again, I have DaVinci. But Roman Szmal has this pigment which might be a better option for you. Another suggestion that straddles the yellow green line is Deep Green Gold by Roman Szmal. (PY129)

Lovely video, lovely video, thank you! The American Journey watercolors are sold online by Cheap Joe's Art Stuff in North Carolina. The suspish is that American Journey paints are made by Da Vinci in California and that Joe Miller has them make some special colors for American Journey that Da Vinci doesn't have in its own line.

Beautiful colors and beautiful sketch as always. I love your little characters in the wood with the birds. They gave me such a peaceful feeling. Thank you for that. As a dark violet-gray color (good for shadows) I can recommend MOONGLOW by Daniel Smith And POTTERS PINK is also a great color.

You’re building quite a collection of natural tones! Apart from the brands I suggested you in our conversation earlier, I also really enjoy red clover meadow handmade paints, I think you’d like them too. They have a big assortment of mineral paints. And for a night scene blue I’d suggest Indanthrene blue by Sennelier. It’s my favourite dark blue from all brands, I swatched it in my favourite Sennelier colours video.

Hi Kriksis, I have been rewatching this video and you said that you were doing two swatches so that you could do your own lightfastness test. I’m wondering what the results of that test is? Would you mind sharing with us?

You created a beautiful palette. Thank you for sharing. 🙏 I would love a list with links to the colors. Especially the handmade ones. They are so beautiful.

@beckbabej Жыл бұрын

If not links, a list of the color names would really help. I can't read the names in the video so small, and it's hard to understand when you say them, especially the weird names and unfamiliar (to me) brands. 😢. I think you would love hematite genuine by Daniel Smith for the grey, it's very granulating and waters down to a sandy beige.

Absolutely stunning palette, not a single colour there I didn't love! A favourite bluey/grey of mine has always been Winsor & Newton's Payne's Grey though it doesn't granulate. Have you checked out Schminke Horadam's range of super granulating watercolours? Spoilt for choice!! ❤❤
