It is a wonderful color indeed! ♥

Hi @janwoodyer735 I know! Things like this happen more often than not! And it's quite fun to share it to show what the thinking/analizing process looks like as it happens! And while the end result may not be what we envisioned, it's well worth the process! And well, it's all part of the journey and fun of it all! Thanks for your support and so happy you enjoyed the video! ♥♥♥

I am so glad that you enjoyed this one, particularly the simplicity of it because that is exactly what I loved the most on this one. No shame on keeping it simple! I am a strong believer of less is more! Keep me up to date on how this one goes for you! ♥♥♥

Hi @karenirving7088 Thank you so much! ♥

Hi, Mark! Thanks! hah hah! I've been having some fun here, while learning some myself! Totally enjoying this ride. Hugs! ♥♥♥

Thank you so much 😀 ♥

Thank you so much, Dee. Yeah, we were fine, although we did get some of it. ♥

I haven't done it in camera. I am planning to do mixing sessions for all my palettes. ♥

I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying watercolors. Sometimes, trying out different things that you might never thought you'd like can actually surprise you! ♥

Thank you so much! Schmicke watercolors are amazing indeed! ♥

Thank you for the feedback! I will make sure to make one! ♥ Happy to hear you liked it! ♥♥♥

Hello @ladyhollman9534 I agree with you 100% here. Both Daniel Smith and Schmincke are at the top of my favorites and truly believe that in Europe Schmincke is the top brand due to accessibility and cost, while on this side of the pond Daniel Smith tops as the best, also for the same reason and, as you mentioned, the grand range of colors they offer. I have been growing my collection of both Daniel Smith and Schmincke, although I must admit that my Daniel Smith collection is much greater. I too love Primateks, and I also love some of the super-granulating colors by Schmincke, which I have a few sets already. However, some of the colors in this super-granulation range do no attract me as much as others in the same collection. With so many colors to opt in Daniel Smith, I fear people will forget how to truly mix. I understand that convenience colors are a must, because otherwise you would go through colors quite fast, depending on how much or how complex the paintings are in the first place. I am loving my exploration on colors in this medium. As I come from acrylics and I have always kept such a limited palette, I am used to the mixing area and love doing it. Exploring colors, to me, is an addiction. So these watercolors are perfect for this as they are mostly organic pigments and you feel their liveliness as you work with them and subsequently, the end result as well. In contrast, acrylics can be absolutely breathtaking but, in the end, their nature feels a lot less "natural" if you know what I mean with this. But, I must admit that as much as I love watercolors, my love for acrylics tops it... perhaps because I have been working with them for over two decades. I know you what you mean about the yellows! I had to learn that the hard way! A little bit can go far! Loved so much reading your comment as it gave me a lot to think about, particularly about the imaginative colors. I think that all these different colors do work with certain types of styles, so I think it's wonderful they cater to that as well. And about DS looking great in almost any paper, omg, this is so true! There is something about Daniel Smith paints though, it's a quality that they do have that I have not seen in any other yet. I am not sure if it's just me, but these colors are so perfectly clean, clear and translucid (of course opaque are opaques) but even those can be so beautiful in washes. I might be wrong as to my assessment because I am a bit biased. I can appreciate the beauty in most brands, but I must admit DS ranks at the top closely followed by Schmincke. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips! I love getting tips and I will follow the ones you adviced with yellows! ♥♥♥

I know! I cannot believe we won't have a true quin gold any longer! :-(

It really is! It has blown my mind since I first got it a year ago! ♥

Usually the less neat are the best. Mine were neat because I was using the new handmade book LOL! Although in general, I try to make them neat.... I suppose I have ocd in some sort of way... hummm... who knows!

Hello! ♥

Please do! They are rather a different experience but whatever you do with them is permanent, which is always nice! I hope you like them! Plus, you can always use a dip pen with them as well and have fun journaling! ♥

Thanks for sharing!! I wish the same for you♥♥♥

Thank you so much, Paula! So happy you enjoyed it! ♥

Hi @TeddyBongo-zf1ih !! Thank you so much 😊 I really appreciate your feedback! ♥

Thank you! 🤗 I appreciate the feedback!!!♥️❤️♥️

That was such a great thing to do! I bet the experience was amazing! ♥♥♥

It was so much fun! Super cute!

Hi! I get you with the lightfast rating, particularly in the comparison between Norway and Sahara. I believe the lightfast rating is actually under certain conditions that does not include hanging the painting or placing it in direct sunlight. Based on this assumption, then we can say that with a 1 star lightfastness, you should either not use it, or have in a dark drawer. These are natural watercolors, and they will therefore have doubtfull lightfastness simply because materials are natural. Watercolors are a delicate medium, and in terms of lightfastness, well, that even can be placed in question if the painter uses tons of water, or diluting too much, that will break any bonding agent that keeps pigment together and that will undoubtedly mean that the painting will fade a lot faster than anything else and whatever lightfast rating it had will not matter much. It will fade away. Thanks for your point of view!! ♥

Hello! ♥♥♥

Hi Dee! Thank you! I am so excited about it and so hope she likes it! She will get it tomorrow so I am hoping it will bring her tons of joy! I did sent her another two items directly from Amazon, a ceramic palette so she can mix in it, and two Mason Jars like mine for water to rinse her brushes! That is also arriving tomorrow so she will get it all together. Thank you for your feedback, Dee. I so appreciate it! ♥♥♥

Hola Mark! ♥ Que gusto verte por aca! I do have the other sizes of this same concertina book! Maybe we could challenge each other and do a project together! That would be fun! Thanks for the support, as always, so very much appreciated. I have missed you around and was going to send an email to check on your tomorrow, as a matter of fact! So it's good to hear from you and your input is always so helpful. I think that this phase is quite pronounced in families where the children leave to study abroad or in different states, where coming back home as often is not possible. I have seen it happen a lot among Americans because, although leaving the nest is indeed encouraged, when the kids leave they really do find themselves missing them a lot. This is quite pronounced as well in stay at home mothers or fathers. Their lives are intricately mingled with the children that when the separation happens, it is quite difficult. In Puerto Rico, like in Spain, most kids stay home since the island is small and universities are usually close to home, so no need to leave the nest, but some do go off abroad and then some parents experience it. I can see why too. Here in the states, while encouraged to leave the home, some parents can be too attached and have devoted their lives to the kids, so when they leave they fall into depression and I am seeing this more and more around me. And well with my sister now, of course I was going to be concerned and made me think of others. I am unsure how this video will reach these people, but hopefully, if in some measure, it can be of help to someone, then it's purpose has been achieved. This is the same as in any type of loss, in my opinion, not necessarily with kids. I can happen when we loss someone important that we have been caring for and suddenly that is no longer there. It applies to many situations. I miss you so much Mark! So glad you are well. Let me know if we should do this challenge! Perhaps we can do it as a group thing to include Dee! ♥♥♥

Dear Dee, I am so sorry to hear about your separation, this is such a difficult step to take and such a huge life change. I have never been married but I have had relationships fail, and while not 45 year long relationships, what and how we feel is probably quite close. I am sending you a big hug, and let you know that I admire your courage at this time. It does take a lot of to make a decision to dissolve something that, while no longer good for us, is what we have known for so long. But, I am so glad that you are feeling better and enjoying your personal space and time. I am glad that you are surrounding yourself with the healing energy of art. I am one who feels a lot of anxiety and in your case, I think that will be part of you for a while, but we can overcome this as well. The most difficult part is done, and while some emotions might be conflicting, for example, feeling happy with your new surroundings and your new space, but at the same time sad because of the loss of the relationship, especially one that was so long. But this is something that as we move forward, we actually overcome too. If you ever need to talk, drop me an email. much love your way, Dee. ♥♥♥

Thank you so much, @renmuffet ! I so appreciate your comments and support. Yes, filming can be quite nerve racking! To be honest, the camera and mic are turned on and I even forget how to pronounce words! It is quite an unbelievable thing of the human psyche! That is why there are so many cuts throughout my videos! I am so very grateful that most of you do not mind that so much and that is quite the relieve to know as well. Perhaps, this is the kind of reassurance that is needed to start letting go of this kind of "stage freight"! I love the new tins without metal clips, they seem so easy and well, safe! These were not expensive at all, I got like 12 in one size and another 12 in a smaller size, and I think I will slowly be merging to those. The only drawback is the mixing space, since they are gray. However, I usually use porcelain or ceramic plates to work, which I find much better than the tin. But at the same time, having the tin to mix helps a lot to keep your colors (warms and cools) in separate areas and I think over time, the colors become richer as they continue to mix with older colors left behind. But yes, these are quite good, at least they serve the purpose I got them for. ♥♥♥ Thanks again for your support and I am so happy you enjoy the videos! ♥

Hi Dee! ♥ I can't help feeling nervous! I heard another youtuber saying, wow, it's not a myth to be nervous talking to a microphone! hahaha I laughed so hard because I truly get nervous to the point I usually have shaky voice and hands in the videos! I laugh about it after, but the moment I sit to film, omg! It's been a year now, and while I am not doing overly many videos, I am not doing very few videos either, so I should be used to this by now. Many years ago, I was good at public speaking, then puff! That disappeared, forever it seems! But I keep my hopes up about that part! Hopefully soon I will start feeling more at ease. I think you will really enjoy the sticks, I have to use them more but, I can tell I will have a lot of fun with them. What is Brusho!! I just took a look and I had never heard of these! Watercolor Ink powder! Wooo, sounds exciting! Do tell me more about that! If they are ink, it's best to be careful tho! Do give me an update on them and how they worked out for you! ♥♥ Thank you, Dee. For everything and for always being so supportive! ♥♥♥ Happy Painting! ♥♥♥♥

Thank you and so glad you enjoyed this video. ♥♥♥

@vintagebeautyca Hi! There is a slight difference between the two. Not much though. The light version is of course lighter, also non-granulating, and perhaps a bit more transparent, while Burnt Sienna is a darker tone and granulating. Burnt Sienna leans to an reddish-orange (orangy-Brown? haha), while Burnt Sienna Light leans more to red (reddish brown). They are both, earth tones, but I think the biggest difference is in the color tone and the granulation. I personally prefer Burnt Sienna, but Burnt Sienna Light is quite breathtaking nonetheless! ♥

Thank you so much! ♥

This is what CAMEO has to say about Turner’s Yellow: “A strong yellow pigment also known as patent yellow or lead oxychloride (PbCl2.5-7PbO). Turner's yellow was discovered in 1770 by Scheele, but it was not patented till the early 19th century by J. Turner in England. Turner's yellow was made by mixing powdered lead chloride with lead carbonate then fusing. This yellow pigment was used for a short time in oil paints, but its sensitivity to light and Sulfur fumes limited its use and it was replaced by Chrome yellow pigments.” Lead oxychloride is PY30, according to artiscreation.

Hello and nice to meet you! You are absolutely correct! This is what I found: Turner's Yellow (PY216) is considered "historical" because it replicates the color of a historical pigment, but PY216 itself is a modern pigment, not a historical one. The historical reference comes from its role as a safer, modern alternative to the older, toxic Turner’s Yellow used in the past. The original color had significant issues, including toxicity due to its lead content. ♥♥♥

@@sundayberries Nice to meet you too, and your lovely channel 😄. Thanks for the info.

@@awatercolourist Thanks to you as well! ♥

Hi!! I have not tried this, but it sounds like something to experiment with! I have been experimenting with these colors, quite a lot and planing to share my findings soon! But, I haven't tried ox gall. ♥♥

@@sundayberries Thanks! Best of luck with your experiments 😃.

@@awatercolourist Thank you!

Hi Dee! Thank you so much for watching the video! These are so fun and really relaxing. I am quite excited about them. I think this is something that you can never go wrong at, and I think it does give a really "feel good" ending, because it is so difficult to really mess up! I loved this so much! Glad you do them too! ♥♥♥
