Hey Vlad-what brands were the white, lemon yellow & cobalt blue were you using to mix? As is your point in this video, different brands are different mixes. Also- how did you obtain the Yarka? I always wanted to try them.

its just so sad.. that we yet again, live in a time where we are afraid of words getting us in trouble. great Video Mr Duchev, thank you so much for your knowledge

MClass makes a beautiful green, great for landscapes, but it is not viridian. In watercolor paint, manufacturers frequently use PG7, probably because it is cheaper and has excellent lightfastness, but it is still not viridian.! But you are right, find the brand you like to produce the colors you like. Thanks for the video and the advice.

In watercolor, it is PG8 and it is magnificent !

The pigment of M-class’s viridian is the combination of PG8 and PY1, which is different from other brands using PG18. That’s why it looks like sap green.

Thank you for your videos they are very clear and clear and to the point. I appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge as I pursue my venture in art primarily painting you help with the clarity in my world. It is so nice to have clarity with what I feel is not bias to the fact you need to just use this brand or that, your teaching to play with to find what is best for me. Once again thank you.

I’m really surprised to see the difference between the M-class compared to the cooler viridian brands. I think I’ll now buy a tube of M-class for my landscapes and water scenes. Thanks, I enjoyed watching your video. 😊

I dont like master class personaly. Maybe its pigmented well but too thick. Not snooth enough

I’ll paint with anything, but I spend my money on Rublev and M. Graham paints. I used to use Masterclass St. Petersburg a lot but the availability of that Russian brand seems to have grown spotty the last couple of years. I particularly love the Masterclass gouaches.

Actually the grades goes like this - Hobby/Craft ; Student ; Professional/Artist. Just look how brands like Royal Talens separate their oil paints. Hobby/Craft paints are perfect for decorative types of works, impasto and having fun. There is quite a difference in quality between different brands of what they clam is Student or Professional grade. Some Student grade paints are better than other, some Professional grade paints are better than other. M-Class is way down on the league compared to Rembrandt Talens for instance. To use Pro-grade paints in the background, for not that important passages, for thick wasteful impasto or for some genres like abstract - means only you are either rich or you have lost your mind. Student grade paints have their place for professional use. And If you paint expressionistic with thick impasto on bigger canvases - all you really need is student grade paint. Art grade paint shines in classical techniques and in the details.

Thank you Vlad for a great and informative video. I agree with using several brands. I love the Sennelier Caput Mortem, but that is the only paint by that brand on my palette.

@cindycarwile1835 3 ай бұрын

I also come to the conclusion that your information is very helpful for my type of oil paints

Ah, that is why I go by pigment, not names. But I bet if you compare three tubes of PG18 they would still be different.

The masterclass viridian looks like sap green when mixed with white. I don't like Gamlin because it is too stiff, especially as time passes. I will try Utrecht. I like the warmer color and the texture. Thanks for the demonstration.

It’s actually YOU like the letter U-trecht (Utrecht). I went to the high school they named their company after in Brooklyn. New Utrecht high school

Hi Vlad! What do you tgink about Lukas 1862 paint? Does it compare to the other artist grade paints? Im on a budget but want to paint with artist grade paint. Thank you

@openstudiod 5 ай бұрын

Lucas 1862 is a student grade paint… but I use it for my studies… if you are in study stage you can use it 100%

@TJ-jq9bz 5 ай бұрын

Thank you Vlad! So even though they have a student line their artist professional line is still student grade in your opinion?

@openstudiod 4 ай бұрын

The price of a tube of oil paint will tell you what grade it is. The cost of the pigment is the same across the industry. Lukas is a good brand with a good amount of pigments inside the tube. For example, I use Lukas titanium white exclusively, as well as some other colors. But if I work on the painting that I know for sure it will go for a high price (painting after 5-6 studies) I will use something like Holbein which is just loaded with the pigments. But for study work - Lukas is my preferred brand in a line with Gamblin, or Williamsburg. I would really recommend Williamsburg paint, very stable, loaded with pigments.

@mjeffn2 3 ай бұрын

Hi Vlad. Do you have any experience with Rosa professional grade paints?

@LittleMew133 21 күн бұрын

@openstudiod would you recommend Holbein over W&N or Mclass? I can get Holbein at $5 for 20ml :0

Спасибо за видио😊. Удивлена, что МК есть в других странах, чем в постсоветских.

Привет, официально МК нет в не постсоветских странах. Единственная компания которая представляет МК за пределами не постсоветских стран находится в Англии.

Nothing says paint tube identification better than waving it nervously and far away to make it as small as possible.

That was my point… the brand names do not mater. You have to find your color

Love Nevskaya Palitra for the competitive price point and IMO it is in a first place a soviet paint brand, with as much ukranian heiritage as any else, which implies you don't need to throw away your tubes because of current political discourse and terrible war =( It will be over someday, the paint and the art will remain, let us do more art so in future there will be less wars. Thank you for the informational video

@EternalScary 5 ай бұрын

Even if they didn't have ukranian heritage, why would you throw away the paint.. what do paint companies have to do with the current war?

@P-A-X- 6 ай бұрын

Master class has not Viridian pg18 so this comparison doesn’t make much sense.

@yunlongzhu9523 6 ай бұрын

People always enjoy good art works and they really don’t care what brand oil were. Come on man, don’t waste time here.

I agree, but a good artwork requires a good quality materials… you just can’t ignore it. I have seen so many good paintings but done with a poor quality materials and the paintings after several years look not the same… colors are dole, muted, separating, falling of the canvas surface, etc. that is why the old masters spend months to prepare a good pigmented paint. And we see some results in major museums. We just can’t ignore it. If you use poor quality materials and trying to create a masterpiece … you just waisting your time. You may create something very good … but it is not going to less for long… like “taped banana” art.

I agree that better is the quality easier is painting (mixing without getting dull), about the lightfastness I'm not sure, but could be that the fillers affect the quality over time. However there are students grade oil paint which are not that bad, Schmincke Norma, Maimeri Classico, or Van Gogh by Talents are ones of the best and many professional artists are using them on regular base, I think the best choice is go with the best you can get for your wallet. I'm fan of S. Petersburg Master Class for the cost/quality rate, which is unique, but for some earth hues, blacks or white I don’t mind to use the brands I mentioned above, while for more unique and sophisticated colors I go for luxurious brands. Btw i like these contents, I love paints topic! 😊

You can only use what you can afford to pay for. Mid-priced paints are acceptable depending on the quality.

@pskardenni 6 ай бұрын

thank you fore the video. I think that there must be some difference, if you talk about an expensive pigment , and an lowcost pigment. F.eks. burnt sienna i a lowcost pigment, so thare is no saving to use less pigments
