I ❤ this palette hack an ❤ Perylene violet. I have the Schminke and others. I find it perfect to create shadows. Your mixes gave me lots to think about. The Clairefontaine Aquapad paper is also great. I prefer it to the Canson XL Aquarelle, actually. Great mixes!

It’s fascinating watching you draw these creatures.

I cannot find Rembrandt dot cards with the full 120 colors, only 40. I love dot cards.

This was so useful. Thank you! I also enjoyed your commentary along with the searching. I got the Rembrandt granulating set and the Burnt orange. I really liked the colours (except the dusk colours, I don't see the point of them) Your watching and comments about the pigmen tree s are so useful to help me find what I want. I am loving these so far. Thanks again.

happy to see you back, Jules! I just started playing with gouache (I got a deal on a 12-tube Shinhan set) and I'm trying to figure them out, since they are a different beast after I have been trying to learn watercolour. I enjoy your sketchbook videos a lot - you first got my attention with one of your early ones, when you're standing in the Monstera. 😂 I'll watch anything at this point whenever you feel up to posting - it's like ASMR with chatting and colours for me. Or would that be anti-ASMR? Anyway. Take care of yourself, from a fan in snowy northern British Columbia (Canada)

Welcome back, Jules! Thank you for this video. I had not heard of these. This is a good selection. A yellowy green would make sense to spare the yellow. Do they have Green Gold (PY129)? That would make great mixes. Have fun drumming 🥁 !

Happy to see you around again! Was thinking about your vids earlier today, before I saw you uploaded yesterday.

Nice to see you back Jules. I dont care about you posting on a regular basis, just do it whenever you want. Unless you are trying to make a living from YT, in which case you will be contorting your life to feed that algorithm. I have the Mijello gouache, the binder definitely has a bit of a sheen to it, but it’s so easy to grab and use. The white is fairly weak, but if you dont care about super opacity it’s fine. I keep a pan of white in my regular watercolor palette and it’s great for watercolor.

I thought I was the only one who hated the texture of those micro fiber clothes. Feels good to know I’m not alone, Lmao!

I just started drying my Winsor & Newton gouache in halfpans after watching a video by Sarah Burns. Some do crack and crumble but she recommends to keep packing paint on until the pans are really full. Hopefully that works - I’m like you that I can’t be bothered to paint from tubes 😅 and I would really like to use my gouache!

Nice to have you back. Take it easy and look after yourself x

Glad to see you back. I've missed you.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing. I have been looking at them on Artemiranda, but since I am close to 33 new tubes of shinhan gouache this year, -gouache is not really on my shopping list at the moment. Although, that red could be on my list anyways. The colours I got was curated by someone else and I am not a fan of the fact that my cool red is PR83, but I love the colour of it.... myabye I need the Mijello instead. :D Merry Christmas.

I am proud to be a Szmalhead, yes. 😆

nice ❤

This video was both interesting and helpful! And thanks for recommending the online art store in Spain, I checked it out and they have have a great selection of art supplies :)

Good choices! Love it. I had to return the 5-year journal, can't use fountain pain, but when you use pencil, can't even read it because the color of the paper is darker than hobonichi or sterling ink's. I probably will get one from Sterling Ink.

you make the best swatching videos on the internet. I completely get into the zone. It's quite psychedelic and I totally relate to the ecstasy you convey. So much fun. some of us just don't need any other drugs. I'd call that a good thing. I' ll watch any and every swatching video you post. How about showing the colors on different papers, or how they mix. Just let them shine and tell us all about them and how you feel about them...... I'll ditch any movie for it.🤩

That's a really lovely palette you got at the end. the colours go together nicely!

This is art!!! Love it and love this ideas I got a small limited Sennelier palette and one from Roman Szmal and I’m gonna try that

That is so strange! Your Perylene Red Deep (PR179) definitely looks brown, while my pan looks more like a deeper version of PR264 (Pyrrole Rubine in RS/ Ruby Red Deep in Schminke). It's more similar to the Permanent Alizarine Crimson that you have, only even deeper. Could it be a bad batch?

Love the granulation colors.

It's pretty remarkable how adding a 4th unifying color produced a much more vibrant and interesting color wheel. Sometimes, creative blocks bring new ideas to the surface. This could be a very useful tool for planning color palettes to improve color harmony in paintings.

Hey Jules! Please try the light blue in the center color wheel! ❤

That was interesting! I love colous and colour mixing, so I really like these videos. 🎨❤️

ETA: I'm not a newsletter type of gal, unfortunately Jules. But I'd make an effort to read yours if it included those delicious mixing recipes! 😂 Those 2am Amazon purchases are all too familiar, Jules, for me!? So I enjoy these swatches and mixing videos. I too have seen other channels mentioned that only swatching isn't art and I disagree. I have created some of my best work after making these kinds of swatching charts. So my feedback for what I'd like to see from you is keep everything the same. I enjoy your art and content as you are! 🫂

A blog or newsletter would be great. Love the idea of a colour chart book too. Definitley something to aim for xxx

If you want to do a newsletter, by all means do one, but keep in mind these little spells of low creativity you're already dealing with (as everyone does) and also the conflicting demands for your time that already exist. Write at least three newsletters ahead of your planned "Send" dates so that a distracted phase or hectic time doesn't make doing a newsletter a torment then. If you've got three ready to go out and get an idea you want to pursue first, fine. Do the hot thought first and keep the waiting three in reserve. Also, think ahead to filler items you can use in the newsletter if something else falls through and keep a list of them handy to glance at. "My Five Favorite______" types of things. Sketch out a few possible starting sentences as you list each item. That will help you remember your idea better and blast you past any writing block. Some people find that breaking off in mid-sentence can help their writer-brain re-engage with the subject when it's time to resume writing. You can also key newsletters to your videos. Maybe you're already there with this thought: You do a video on color charts and say sign up right now to get my newsletter with more information and additional examples of simple color charts you can make to explore what your paints can do. One idea working two ways. Best of luck. Love your videos!

Oh, and I would love a newsletter from you. Bye

Hi, Jules! I see you brought home a little sun from your vacation... your hands are tanned 😊 this is good. I've thinking about sharing with you an experience I made some time ago, when I mixed Dragon's Blood, Pbr25 with various granulating colours in my stash and it made the most beautiful mixes I enjoyed doing in a while. I used a Maimeriblu tube, it's an Italian watercolour, but I'm sure your favourite brand carries a similar colour also. Maybe you're in the mood to try your hand with it too... kisses all the way from Brazil to you ❤

Just lovely to see all these colours together, dont they look beautiful.

I enjoy creating mixes in my sketchbooks, and then I can go back and study them later. If I do mixes on random pieces of paper, they get lost and forgotten. I like to create paintings from limited palettes of 4 or 5 colours and create colour wheels to analyze which set of colours is best. Posts on your community page would interest me more than newsletters.

I love the idea of a color mixing sketchbook! It would make a great reference for actual compositions. You might even come up with ideas while you're doing it! Like, "Ooo! That mix would be perfect for a *x,y,z*!"

I really like this video but I didn't try to draw with pen before and here is my question You drew directly with pen or you drew with pencil first?

i really love how you curate your collection for the coming year! it's just so 🌟aesthetic🌟

Love how you have matched up all your stationery goodies. Love to watch these videos and anything creative. Thanks for sharing!

All your color coding the ink to your pens is making me go, "Ah maybe I should do this too."

I love the yellows!

I enjoy seeing what other artists travel with. My goodness those Holbein pencils are gorgeous colours and look lovely and creamy. I recently got a little travel set of luminance colours and see the Holbein would be great additions too. I love how compact your travel set is and has everything you need really.

It’s nice seeing your choices, especially as I have a lot of Perylene greens and violets from sets but I’m unsure about using them. I think because I avoid blacks that I haven’t mixed and I lean towards earths as I’m in love with natural earth pigments in all their glorious shades. I must give these Perylenes a chance! It would be helpful as you talk of your favourites what you find them useful for in terms of subject matter.

Hi! Would you please be willing to tell me if you know of any other places besides Jackson’s to find Roman Szmal watercolor sets? I’ve looked through all the palette sets offered and can’t find specific greens I’ve seen you swatch! I’d love to find a 48-set somewhere and be on a list to know when they’re releasing new sets. Thank you!
