❤😊 I just discovered Willa Wanders recently! I need to take time to do a study of her method... she has an astonishing down and dirty approach to Mother color that is worth taking a look at! 😮❤ I definitely want to give her style a try, but using these stencils like this is really smart! A little zen- tracing and then straight to the painting! Honestly, I would have thought it'd be really tedious, but I can see how smart it is now. ❤😂 I just made a Temu order and put a few interesting stencils in my basket to try this with! ❤

“Never Ending, Rabbit Reproducing “. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍

Very pretty! Looking forward to part II.

You are ROCKING this Dawn, I’m especially impressed cause it’s on cellulose! Wonderful Job ! I know that everybody says that Arches is the ‘Gold Standard’ of watercolor paper but I switched to Fabriano Artistico years ago & love it. It’s a great paper comparable to Arches & a bit more reasonable in cost, I buy the bulk packs of sheets (22” x 30”) often as a buy 4 get the 5th free or something similar. Now, I don’t know if you’re aware of this but the sizing in the paper ( usually gelatine ) can spoil or go off if subjected to very much moisture. I too live in a humid climate in SW Ontario ( Great Lakes Basin) so I go to my local Home Depot or Lowes paint dept. and ask the manager to save all of the silica packs when unboxing products. I don’t unwrap my paper from its plastic until I need it and keep it in a large box with all of the silica packs thrown in. I’ve got packs of Fabriano that are 7 years old and are perfectly fine. Hope this helps, keep painting & posting my friend, you’re doing AWESOME 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Holbein has multiple pigment colours and they are well loved & respected 😉

I’ve always heard it pronounced ‘Mih JELLO’ , great book, your binding is far better than mine , mine has more tape than thread holding it together! 😂😂LOVING your videos! Cheers from Canada

Dawn, I always understood that the Mijello Mission Gold line is an Artist’s line, not their student line I believe.

Thanks for this series Dawn, I think using this stencil is BRILLIANT! I’ve ordered it, thanks again for the idea!

❤😂 It is shocking how far the littlest dab of watercolor will go and go and go! The first watercolors that I got was "Doodle-hog"! It's a white label Superior Paint... it's decent for what it is, and it cost less than an empty tin pallette would. I assumed if I stuck with it and use them up I could reuse the pallette for good paints! 😂❤ I still reach for it when I want to just splash around or experiment with something and I've hardly made a dent in it! 😮

Wow the result is amazing! You have so much patience 😄 This is my favorite color combination just love greens and blues. Thanks for sharing.

I'm thinking that the difference in all of those Red Browns is going to be in the mixing. That's the thing I was going to use your wheel system for... to see how similar colors will mix with the same different colors. ❤ 😊

Well, I'm glad you filmed this. Idk why, but I love watching videos!😂❤ There is so much variation in the same pigments! I've seen that German Green Umber but didn't know if it was worth the investment... I have a stack of Rosa gallery pallets that I got on sale, and I think Raw Umber is the ugliest color I've ever seen! So, of course, I'm obsessed with it now. 😂❤

Davies Gray... there are a few companies making it. It seems to be a Black and a white mixed with either (PBr 7) Burnt Sienna (Holbine), Phthalo Green PG 7, DaVinci. Winsor and Newton uses PG 17, chromium green oxide! ❤ Kelly Hoernig has a video swatching out 6 brands.

Red Brown PBr 25 Maimeri Blu calles it Dragons blood! ❤

❤ Very nice! I do the same thing with my tubes of watercolor when I just want a dab to play with. If it's really strong watercolor like DaVinci I'll put it in a little mixing tray. ❤

Ah, I just looked up Windsor yellow and compared it to Da Vinci yellow. They are both PY154, standard Hansa yellow. I'm wondering if it's a buying code? For example, if you're a beginner and you want a primary set, choose Windsor yellow Windsor blue, and IDK if there's a windsor red, but that one. 😂❤

Using stencils is such a good idea! I hate that my shapes don't fall in even columns and change size. Thank you so much for sharing! I'm subscribing.

❤ This looks like a fun exercise. I absolutely can not wipe my pallets out! So, I'm always looking for fun exercises I can do to use up my extra puddles of paint. 😊

Very interesting! ❤ I've been swatching and mixing my pants, but I'm not good at doing it in a way that is organized, so they make a good reference. This is helpful! ❤😊

The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

Thankyou

Qor uses the binder aquazol, with is proprietary to them

I wonder if you used the wrong paint from your palette, thinking it was your Rose of Ultramarine. I've never seen it dry down that red.

Golden’s Green Gold is a mixture, but QoR and most other Green Golds are a single pigment. Golden should have named it Azo Green

where did you get the pattern for the color swatching?

I get bored doing charts for myself, but I love seeing the end results. They look beautiful, and are so very useful. You could sell these! p.s. The Windsor Blue looks flat compared to the others. Is that because it's highly pigmented or because the others are granulated?

This was beautiful and very useful. Thank you. Would love to see it all the way dry in daylight, too. 😊 Have you tried the GRIPR paint tube cap remover tool by Golden? Its not perfect but it's a huge help and only a couple of dollars. Paint in caps is the bane of my existence. 😅 I keep a tall trashcan and strong spray bottle on hand and squirt the tops out over the can and a dab on a towel. Its the easiest, fastest way I've found. Of course, if they don't seal well, they'll end up that way anyway. Only tips I know are to give it some taps all around where the cap connects and threads to help break it up (heavy taps but not too hard or the plastic will warp). Soaking the cap in some not too hot water might work if that doesn't. Good luck removing it.

Been ‘watching ‘ your swatching while organizing my craft room 😮😂… and happened to hear your struggles with potter’s pink. I have heard recently that it is used by folks to mix with reds in order to transform them into granulating reds with little change to the red colours (very few red pigment are naturally granulating. I have Schminke Volcano red, which does granulate, but , oh my, you have to work at it to get an appreciable load of pigment. I’ve promised myself a swatching period once this room is organized enough to feel comfortable/not twitchy in it…starting 2025 in a good way 🤭🥳🤣)

I LOVE all the colors too!! I’m a sucker for those blues though. I’m enjoy your color studies and your stories. I never heard of people going around cleaning garbage cans (fantastic idea though) and the explanation of how the hue was different from a regular watercolor very informative to a complete beginner. Thanks for sharing!

I like your card system

Enhorabuena por su villa, disfrute de ella. Felices fiestas.

😍 love these shades of blue! Going to add 1 or 2 these to my wish list. Merry Christmas!

😍 The finished product is so pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Lovely colour mixing study. I always enjoy some quiet swatching too. That template looks really good for this job. Thanks, Dawn!

Adorable.
