#Watercolor #Schmincke #WatercolorReview
I forgot to mention in the video that Schmincke called these super-granulating, but they had included a summary of what they mean by that: When mixing two or more granulating colors, we now have two colors that separate from each other = super granulating. They do not mean that these granulate stronger with more texture than normal. Jackson's was not very clear about that when they notified everyone of the "super granulating colors". This caused some disappointment when people expected them to be more dramatic than their normal granulating colors.
Yes, Schmincke were pretty open about that. However, people still seem to buy these like crazy. Which is ok, as you said, if you know you will use a lot of one particular mix. And the mixes are beautiful. Did you see that Jackson's in UK have just released two new lines called Forest and Tundra with 5 different mixes each? They have not even released these in Germany anywhere!
@@ChrissieNicely Yes, I will likely do a video soon about mixing your own for those as well. I was less impressed with the 10 new Forest and Tundra colors. So many of the 25 colors can be replicated with just a handful of core single pigment colors. Though I did appreciate the green and brown separation in Tundra Green, Mixing the PBr6 with Cobalt Green PG19. I look at most of these as recipe guides, but think they could have done a bit better with variety (especially on all these similar blues in the first release). Thanks for stopping by :)
@@KimberlyCrick Yes, I agree. Thankfully, we get the pigments listed on Jackson's website. The art shop here in Germany where they were first launched is not so informative. I bought two tubes and then contacted Schmincke directly who kindly sent me a leaflet with a listing of the ingredients. I had most of the pigments listed...
By the way, I must say, I appreciate all your work. Thank you for all you do. Plus, I love your little paintings. 🥰😘🧡❤
Your little wren is absolute perfection. I love the way you detailed the piece and embellished the background. Colors are spot on!!!
THANK YOU! Kimberly, I can't tell you how hard it's been for me--currently I cannot afford to buy any paint but everyone is getting these and making lovely art with them and I've been green with envy, despite the fact that only a couple of the colors really stood out to me as being mixes that I would actually use. (The psychology of the collector! Sheesh!) Then you showed me why I shouldn't be so jelly--because of my tendency to prefer single pigment paints, I have everything I need to mix these and you just gave me the confidence to try. Your replications of these are absolutely spot on.
Naturalistic subjects like your bird are perfect for these kinds of mixes. That painting is just gorgeous! Also I feel like these mixes are great for muted, texture-rich backgrounds or natural environments, like rocks and so on. I can see why so many are drawn to these. The texture of granulation is just so lovely and many watercolorists are hooked on it. Schmincke has been really smart about this release--making sure everyone knows it's a limited release means everyone is in a frenzy to snap them up. I'm gonna calm TF down though. LOL!
I got a bit... jumping off the walls excited when I first saw these... It's so easy to get lost in the hype and our love of color as artists. Once I played with them though I realized I should try to share how easy they are to mix since it's more economical over time to own a handful of single pigments. You'll end up with more freedom too, unlimited mixtures between a few granulating colors and the rest of your basic standard colors. Thank you for making me chuckle, I need to calm TF down too :D
Didn’t realize paint companies were also feeding into the FOMO anxiety with ‘limited’ release which makeup companies (esp eyeshadow palettes are infamous for ) 😖
I may have exclaimed a very excited "HECK YEAH" when I got the notification for this video 😂 as tends to be the case, I agree with you. I didn't fall madly in love with the swatches - I liked them enough that I would've gotten them in small tubes or pans, but not enough to shell out for full 15 ml tubes for each one. The one I like the most was, like many people, Glacier Green. Not at all surprising once I saw the pigment composition - cobalt turquoise and potter's pink is one of my all-time favourite mixes.
Once I realised that, I sat down and went through the composition of all the new colours and realised that I either already have or intend to purchase almost all the component pigments.
I have nothing against buying a readymade mix even if I have the components on my palette - the consistency you get in an industrially produced mix is more, well, consistent between batches than anything easily replicated at home. So if I know I like one specific olive green, I'm happy to buy it mixed instead of having to mix it up myself each time I run out of a pan (or, if I don't have the components as tube paints, having to mix it up every time I sit down to paint). But this collection is a lot of money for a lot of quite simple mixes, and they're mixing pigments I like to use in other contexts as well. So it makes more sense for me to stick with the single pigments instead of buying these paints - I don't think I'll use them enough to be worth the expense.
That said, if I for example had no interest owning pure potter's pink or cobalt turquoise but wanted the Glacier Green specifically, it would make sense to just buy this one tube as a sort of specialty color. That's not me, though 🤷♀️
You always make my day with your comments! I know a lot of people were excited about these, so I wasn't sure how well it was going to be received that I suggest you can mix your own. I think as artists sometimes we get caught up in our love for colors and just buy things instead of spending time playing with what we have. It's really awesome that you recognized that and went through your colors to find you had most of the component ingredients. I love these as a recipe guide though, and a reminder of how lovely teal/pink as a combo is. I'm not sure I would have ever thought to mix the cobalt violet hue with an earth brown for this galaxy brown I used on the bird... which I can see using a lot for animals in the future!
@@KimberlyCrick I tend to buy ALL OF THE THINGS when I start a new hobby, but I've at least learned to slow down after that initial rush. I have impulse control issues, so I've been here before - I was super into nail polish for a few years and ended up in a lovely online community with a bit of an enabling problem... I'd buy whole collections at once and ended up spending way, way more money than I could really afford and with a collection well into triple digits. So. You know. Lesson mostly learned. I got a credit card a year ago, maxed it out in a couple of months, and now I'm struggling to pay it off because as soon as I do I end up maxing it back out.
Sooo... Yeah. I'm trying to control my spending better, it's easier not that my mental health has improved, but I really, really try very hard not to get sucked into the collector mindset again. No more credit, no more payment plans, none of that stuff, that's a good start, but FOMO is real and dangerous 😅
I really appreciate that you tested the mixes for these colors, I was wondering if they would be easy to replicate. I don't have Schmincke paints, but I do have many of these pigments in Daniel Smith, so will play with my own versions. I've always loved Potter's Pink as a mixing color, it's so interesting that Schmincke would make these combinations. Thanks for sharing your thoughts as usual!!
I had to get all of those, they are in the mail now! I'm really excited! I know I could do the mixes myself, but the convenience of premixed paint in a tube is something I really value. Thank you for an excellent review!
Same. I don't want to mix colors. I just want to paint. The more time I spend mixing, the less time I spend painting. Thankfully I don't paint realistically so convenience colors work for me.
How did I only find your channel now?! I thought I knew every pigment nerd on RUclips 😱 Instant follow haha
I have them and I love them! Preferably in abstract watercolor paintings and also for stones and rocks. You can get beautiful greys by mixing the different blues with both the browns. Heavy granulating! But I must admit that I‘m a little disapointed regarding the very similar light blues (they all look like PB35). And the pink is like Potters Pink. You‘re right: mixing would be easy but I personally prefer the pre-mixes. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
You're so right, they do all look a bit like PB35... and the dull opacity didn't translate well for watercolors. I kept feeling bad for the bright teal of Cobalt Turquoise hiding in those mixes :)
You are such a God send! I looked at these when Jackson sent the email out, and felt pretty ambivalent about the colors. Of course I am a sucker for special additions, and kept eyeing them. I actually today Googled for tests of these paints, and then I got the notification about your video. Talk about timing! You saved me from buying any of them with :) lol I have their potters pink and I love it, and those are my favorite mixes anyways. You are the best!
Glad I could help! I wanted to make sure I did this video as early as possible so everyone could decide for themselves if they wanted to try to mix these colors on their own :)
Thank you so much for all your information. You have saved me a lot of money while incouraging working on mixing single pigment colors.
Wow! I've been sleeping on the job and this is the first I'm hearing of these. Thanks for sharing the line, and now I'll impatiently wait for the restock haha.
Subscribing to Jackson's emails has been entertaining but very bad for the wallet lol :)
@@KimberlyCrick that's a good idea... For my business to stay informed anyway 😁
I adore schmincke watercolours, wonderful video
I love the idea of Schmincke adding more granulating colors to their line but when I saw they were only 15 ml tubes and I have most of the colors already in the mixes...it just makes more sense to get the single pigments and play around. Then I can change the ratio and mix brands. It's more like they gave me a little recipe guide. Thanks for showing they can be diyed!
Yes, these are definitely an investment as 15ml tubes. I'm glad I had many of the single pigments, but these really helped point me in the right direction for creative mixture recipes :)
You could always mix the colour you like and mix it with Schmincke's Granulating Medium (a spray) or W&N Granulating Medium which you dilute in your colour before painting with it - I like this method better because you can add as little or as much as you want and transform any colour you want into a granulating one. Also, I find I have more control with this than with the spray.
@@chiarac358 That is a neat texture effect (similar to using rubbing alcohol if you haven't tried that too) but it's not an accurate way to reproduce the natural granulation texture of these pigments. When compared side by side you can always tell which texture was created from granulation medium vs the natural way some thicker particle pigments have sediment clumps/settle into the valleys of the paper during a wet wash.
I've been looking for reviews and first impressions of these special sets of granulating colours all day yesterday and only found one video which didn't show the granulations as beautifully as you did - I was thoroughly disappointed in them when I saw the first video but thought it could be the paper or technique the person used. I'm glad you posted this video to show the granulations much better and I can say now that I absolutely love them. Ahhh, just how the colours separates into the valleys of the paper and produces two different colours sometimes instead of the usual granulations like french ultramarine is just to die for. I really love how you mixed your own of the same colours on the side too! It teaches people that they can learn the pigment number and create their own even from different brands though it might looks slightly different. I personally would much prefer the mixing my own as I can increase and decrease certain colours in the mixes like add more blue to the black mixture.
BTW, I saw the picture of the bird on instagram and thought that texture of it was beautiful. It was soft but also had so much character in it.
I ordered galaxy brown and galaxy pink because almost all the other pigments i already possessed. And the aforementioned colours captured my interest.
The granulation does make for an interesting look!
Oh! Thing I forgot to say: in the bird painting, I really love how you controlled the where the granulation fell in the background so beautifully. I hadn't figured out how to do that, but seeing how you did it was kind of an ah-ha moment for me!
Thank you for this! My first instinct when I saw these paints was to buy the single pigments that made up the most interesting looking colors, so that is what I did. They aren't here yet and I had started to worry that they had done something different to the pigments for those paints, but it is nice to see that they didn't.
It's a great plan to mix your own, you will have so much freedom with even more mixes possible from your colors :)
This was most helpful. I'm getting back into watercolor after 25 years away from it and just learning about granulations (which I love) so it's very helpful to know which ones are worth getting in this set.
I got them all as well and I love playing with them. I agree that there are a lot of quite similar tones and I also have nearly all pigments used in the mixes as single pigment paints. However, I got them as a treat for myself even though I didn't "need" them (I probably won't need any more paint for the next decades or so ;)) and I don't regret it. I still need experiment more about how to integrate them but your gorgeous little bird was a wonderful inspiration!:)
I'm happy to see this video! I bought eight of these instead of the whole set, as I thought some of the colours looked repetitive. You are quite right, these can all be easily mixed - if Jackson's hadn't put these on sale, I would likely have bought only 2 or 3 at most and used the component pigments to mix the rest. I think this review is likely to save many people a lot of money! 😄
The bird is lovely, as is the rest of your art. Thank you for a very informative review, I look forward to your next video. 😊
Thank you, I too saw the sale and liked enough of the colors I figured I'd just do a comprehensive review for them all. There are definitely some redundant colors in here, but seeing a new mixture that you may not have thought to do on your own was worth it. I fell in love with the brown mixes, which I rarely mix with purples or greens like they have. I find that those colors inspire my art, versus planning art to make the paint conform to. Happy painting :)
Came for Schmincke review and swatches, subbed because I really appreciate your format and and detailed information. I would have liked some slow, close up pans of the swatches, some were shown too briefly.
I have to agree with you on the glacier green, it's probably the only one I'll buy. And now I see I DO NEED a potter's pink. Do you a favorite brand for that?
Schmincke has a nice granulating potter's pink and it has been well behaved for me when used from dry as well (but I live in a humid southern state which can make things easier to re-wet). I also like Daniel Smith's but I've seen it vary in color batch to batch which makes me less confident in recommending it. I've been told that it, as well as Winsor & Newton's tube version, can be harder to re-wet in less humid northern climates. If you like to use dry pans, W&N has a nice pan version that is made to work better from dry than their tube formula. I think overall I've heard the least complaints about Schmincke in any climate, but worst case a drop of glycerin or honey should fix a pan that has dried too unworkable. I've had the same issues with Viridian, it's a certain type of pigment that's just a bit harder to re-wet from dry. Thank you for the sub and feedback, happy painting :)
This is a great video. Thank you. Always trying to mix the right color or replicate a color I've already used irritates me so I'm all about convenience colors but it's good to know how to replicate a color myself if I run out in the middle of a painting.
I really enjoyed watching this. I wish I watched this video before I bought the granulating paints from jackson. Good thing, some people have also highlighted that going for single pigments might be better idea since it's a lot cheaper as well. The super granulating paints of schmincke only sell in 15ml tubes if you don't buy them as a set and they also tend to be more expensive than the original pigments themselves. But like what you said... convenience mixes are rather "convenient" so when I saw reviews in other brands like roman szmal or daniel smith, I think I went with some of the tube paints from those brands instead because some of them have better color separation/granulation. Thanks for making this video! It was really informative.
Perfect timing! I was just lusting after these new paints. Now instead of paying big bucks for them, I can just expand my collection of single pigments and mix them myself. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge.
I have watched this video a few times. Thank you!
Wow , what a GREAT explanation and so helpful thank you so much 💞
I was very excited when I learned of this new release and then doubly excited that you had done a review! I think you saved me a lot of money. I think I have all these single pigments in other brands and can just mix these myself. I know I could do that for Cascade Green in Daniel Smith but I do love it as a convenience color as well as their Cobalt Blue Violet!
Personally I think every watercolorist should own a tube of Cascade Green. That color is pure magic, and while you can mix it yourself, it's a lot of trial and error getting the pigments and ratios just right. Sometimes just playing with a color that amazing just brings joy :)
Lovely artwork as always, I love the glacier green too! There are quite a few moody colours that are up my alley! If anything good inspiration to mix my own!
Yes that Glacier Green is just gorgeous! I'm happy I got these as inspiration for color mixing. I actually don't think I would have mixed the brown and purple to make the galaxy brown color I painted the bird with otherwise :D
I looked at these when they came out and drooled over a couple of them but the price was just more than I could justify. Imagine my surprise when I watched you mix them and realized some of them were mixes I already used quite often! No wonder they caught my eye! Anyways, thank you so much for the comparisons, that was so so useful. I wrote down your "recipes" for some of the mixes I haven't tried before and I am looking forward to replicating them on my own. You are so thorough! As always!
Kimberly, you have an excellent eye for color and wonderful intuition. Some things are cultivated to be certain, but there are instincts about color that one cannot teach, at least this is what I believe.
This is really well done. I love how you put some much information in a short video, and pointed out which colors you can recreate on your own.
I am going to buy 3(maybe 4) that are stunning for me. but I would like to use those for more abstract work or maybe backgrounds. then of course mountains and night skies would work very easy with those ready mixed ones.
I wish Schmincke have these in their normal range. I really enjoy experimenting with granulating colors too and they look so nice to be honest. 😊
You must be the Queen of Pigments! I'm not (yet) very into granulating watercolors, but you are making me change of mind?! Some of them are really nice :D Thank you very much.
Lol it's a slippery slope... once you discover a love for them... well, I ended up collecting a fair share :D
Thank you Kimberly.. mix my own ...good advice !!!
Your paintings looked very nice. I like the little bird at the end very much. The brown/bronze was the perfect choice :-)
First time watching and really enjoyed this video. I learned several things that were very beneficial. I'll have to check out your other videos. Do you have anything on boxing your own watercolors. Just ordered your swatch stamps, these will also be fun to use in my junk journals. LOVED the bird.
Thank you so much, I appreciate that and hope you'll find great uses for the stamps! I will be uploading a video soon about my decision to start DIY making storage boxes for my watercolor pans. Until then, I have some info/images/links to palettes, containers, mixing porcelain, brushes, pens and all the other stuff that I use as "watercolor supplies" on this page - www.kimcrick.com/pages/watercolor-supplies-guide-pens-paper-paint-brushes-waterproof-ink
Oh I have to get the cobalt violet hue and mahogany brown. Thanks for the detailed review ❤
This was so helpful and convinced me that mixing my own versions would be way better and more satisfying. In fact it saved me 300 so thank you. Lol bought an really nice brush and easel instead. Haha
I love the bird you painted, so beautiful!
This is great, I was thinking of create my own granualating colors and found this video. Thanks for the video and it's so cool you put all the information I need in the paper. 👍👍👍❤
Ok, first: I absolutely love you videos and reviews, they are very helpful.
I have galaxy brown and glacier green, I use granulating colors primarily for backgrounds because I'm lazy.
It's sad to hear that they are so easy to mix, I hoped that they would be more unique.
(The colours are still beautiful)
I had hoped they were truly unique as well, but definitely still fun to play with. I get lazy with backgrounds or just skip them altogether too lol. I think we will both will find some great uses for the Galaxy Brown and Glacier Green over time. Happy painting :)
You are now my "Go To" source for new pigments and techniques. Sub'd & signed up for updates :)
Yay! Thank you I appreciate hearing that :)
Excellent information as always. I bought the forest blue out of shear lust because it was on sale.
I just found your channel, you are a swatching pro! Thanks for the video. I love the green colour in the last painting.
I never thought I'd enjoy these granulating and colour seperating watercolors so much, but I definitely do. In fact I didn't really know they existed for a damn long while ^^'
I love that you show us how to mix those lookalikes ourselves. Too bad I just ordered new stuff to be creative with, so I got no justifiable reason to buy even more supplies just now, but maybe some of those single pigment colours you mentioned will go up on my list next ^^
I struggle so much with what I consider a justifiable reason to buy new paints lol. I love all things granulating and it's a real struggle for me to not buy new things especially when they have color separation and cool texture effects :D
@@KimberlyCrick I guess, we creatives all got some hoarding tendencies in one way or another ^^'
Oh my Gosh. I haven't even finished watching, but I already know I'm gonna love this. I hope they become available to the Philippines soon. Thank you for sharing Kimberly. ☺️
They are such beautiful paints, I hope they become easier to buy in the future :)
this has been very helpful. thanks
Thanks for the review. I agree, that not all of the colours are neccessary and are more of convenience mixes for those who love granulation. But the colours are lovely and too have impulse bought more than I probably should have of these tubes. :D The bird painting in the end is awesome.
You really do have the best reviews- thanks for recreating these formulas! I would never have bought them (normally, name anything 'galaxy' or 'space' whatever, and I'm all over it, but the $$- nope!). But, I look forward to trying the mixes.
I know, I certainly wish they had made these available in more affordable half pan options. The mixes will get you there though :)
you are such a good artist
This is so helpful, I’d totally mix them. I’ve noticed some separate already, especially mixes with ultramarine. Your website is something I’ll be diving into, I’m sure.
Thanks so much for the swatches and especially for demonstrating the mixes; I'd decided to give mixing Glacier Green a try (when my Potter's Pink arrives) but didn't realise how well the others would mix too! This was super helpful, thank you :)
So helpful video and amazing
Thanks so much for this video! I would like to have a couple of the convenient mixes but for the most part I would rather have the single pigments and mix when needed. Thanks again for sharing!
Thank you for testing your own mix, I was thinking of that as it's more flexible this way. Much appreciated 👍
that was beautiful
yaaay! thank you so much for showing the colors!
Thank you so much for this :)
Thank you for this video I was hunting down swatches of these colors to decide if I want to buy or not and this video cured me of “the wants” I’ll just mix it myself 😅
Glad I could help! These are definitely easy to mix on your own, especially if you already have the pure magic that is a cobalt turquoise and potters pink :)
These paints were all in my cart until this very informative review. Thank you so much! 💜. Now, I can mix most myself! Will get the brown though.
Glad to help! These were lovely for inspiration, and I'm not sure I would have ever mixed the browns on my own but they are beautiful :D
I bought the Galaxy set and fortunately have only used one of the colours--Galaxy Brown. I created a nice wash with this colour, let it dry and then tried to glaze over it--BIG mistake. The Galaxy Brown undercoat lifted and very unevenly at that to the point where I had to crop the painting when finished. Luckily the Galaxy Brown was on an edge that would take cropping.
I would definitely avoid using any granulating color for layering or glazing techniques (including single pigment ones like potters pink and any of the "super granulating" mixtures, because they are all easily lifting).
I want to tell someone...I saw an old painting of the Virgin Mary with the colors , Galaxy Pink and Glacier Green, glacier brown. I was impressed and wonder if anyone knew that maybe these colors were selected to paint old statue paintings.
Thank you for this video Kim! I'll definitely try to mix the paint with Pr233, since it's a pigment I own, now I don't remember if it was mixed with pg50 or pg18, either way I do have a viridian and I'll try with a cobalt turquoise dupe from white nights (which is considerably cheaper than schmincke's) ;)
I'll also try the ones with manganese violet mixes as I do own a Roman szmal full pan of it. I was binge watching the exotic paint mixes videos (yours a lit moonglow and the ones about the Chinese paint, caam supervision, I'm dying to make a dupe of that Rose Ash) and I'll take notes and even separate a sketchbook page for mix tests
I'm planning to try to dupe that CAAM Rose Ash too lol, so cool! I know it uses red cochineal bug dye, so it's probably fugitive. We might be able to mix something even better and lightfast. I'll try to see what happens when I mix Quin Coral PR209 and Cobalt Teal PG50 first :)
Do you have a video on Schminke watercolors pure pigments best selection? Tfs
I will be doing a comprehensive overview of all Schmincke colors with swatch cards of the 140+ color catalog in the future. I'll be sure to include my top recommendations and single pigments ideal for color mixing :)
Mixing anything with oxide black or potter's pink and you're going to get some beautiful mixes. I have both so I don't really need any of these.
Add in a teal/turquoise and maybe a nice granulating brown, such as their mahogany brown pbr33 and you could mix an amazing amount of granulating beauty. Definitely agree, these are just for convenience... and perhaps mixing inspiration :)
Glacier green and deep sea green look so cool? Is that multicolor part of the paint or contamination?
They are very pretty, its the multiple color parts of the paint separating out again in water. When they mix a paint with pink pigment and blue pigment (potters pink and cobalt turquoise) they look grayish green until they separate back out into their original colors when suspended in water. Granulation and color separation are so beautiful in watercolors :D
@@KimberlyCrick agreed to if I had to pick convenience colors, it would be those two! Thank you for answering!
We all get a little impulsive when we see new (insert favoret art supply here) 😂
Very interesting video. Thanks for creating this. I noticed the colors seem to disperse a lot (sort of like QoR does).
The disperse rate you're noticing is because of the excess water on my paper. I really soaked it, a very thick pool of water on the surface. It really helps make sure all particles separate and float across the surface as much as possible to promote the granulation texture. When I use Qor in this much water the color fully reaches all edges of the pool pretty instantly, but here it only drags the smallest pigment particles away from the heavier thicker ones. Hope that helps clarify the effect :)
If I need them I'll mix them the prices are outrageous. They give the pigments so like you I just copy them.
Can I ask a dumb question? ( I’m good at those) but what kind of salt do you use? The effects you get are amazing. I want to try it lol
I use table salt, usually the white mortons salt container that comes in the super cheap two pack with pepper at the grocery store. Though the amount of reaction you get is heavily influenced by how wet the paint is when you apply it and how granulating the color is (textural paints do not react, thin staining colors do.... almost dry paint doesnt react much, too wet is giant blooms and if the paint is just shiny but not soaking or too dry its perfect little star bursts).
@@KimberlyCrick thank you!
I was wondering if you you have info on if Jackson’s isn’t restocking until the end of February or maybe even much later for Schmincke super granulating colors? As of yesterday, they listed restock dates for February, but dates were confusing
When I checked just now all 25 colors were in stock and available to purchase at www.jacksonsart.com/en-us/schmincke-horadam-watercolour-us?___store=jacksonsart_us&acc=c0f168ce8900fa56e57789e2a2f2c9d0 towards the bottom of the color chart each color is listed individually. In the future any stock dates they list when out of stock is when they estimate the shipment from the manufacturer. There are times when it says 3 weeks from now, but then it becomes available in a week instead when they got an early shipment.
@@KimberlyCrick thank you for your reply. I love your art and how you present your videos!
@@susanlynn9285 Thank you! Happy painting :)
How do I get your stamps living in Canada??
I do not currently ship internationally. Unfortunately due to so many lost or delayed package deliveries and high postage cost increases since the pandemic began, I do not foresee this changing in the near future. I do offer printable files on Patreon worldwide though, if you happen to have a back loading printer capable of taking watercolor paper (or to do standard paper printing for dry media swatching such as pencils or markers). Thank you for your interest.
Hm, nice granulation. But even though I am just getting into WC, I am quickly becoming a pigment nerd, and I prefer single pigment paints. Also I think, especially starting out, buying dozens of colors is not a good idea. I like to keep my palette as basic as possible.
I can definitely understand that and starting out it's really important to have the basic single pigment mixing colors. Once I became more familiar with the colors needed for certain subjects, or the colors I wanted to use the most often, I expanded to include unique granulating colors. Sometimes convenience mixtures can be good if you find yourself spending a lot of time repeatedly making those mixes yourself. Though I certainly can appreciate a limited palette and the promotion of color harmony that creates. Thanks for chiming in :)
Brilliant!
Can not figure out what I am doing wrong on the website to sign
🎨🖌😍
I often prefer ready to use mixes and colours as when I am in the flow of painting or when I have to work fast with wet in wet I find it disturbing to mix in between the time of painting. I don't mix colours before painting as I often decide along the road what colours match with the rest. I kinda do intuitive instinctive painting and barely plan beforehand. so if I am painting and think a greenish brownish colour mixture for example would look nice with this I want to just grab it and not stop painting to mix it. I don't know if I am any clear in my words but that's my flow 🤭
are these paints vegan? I know not all of schmincke paints are vegan. I love some of these double pigment tubes in this video. but if not vegan I gonna skip them.
The Schmincke Horadam line is unfortunately not vegan, as all the paints contain ox gall (a byproduct of the meat industry).
Their student line, Schmincke Akademie, is vegan (I can't remember if they have an ivory black or bone black, that might not be vegan, but the rest of the Akademie line is). It's a pretty limited range though, not as many colors and not a lot of these "fun" ones.
In Liquid Color has a great video on vegan watercolor brands. A lot of common ones aren't vegan due to the use of ox gall, and some brands of course use honey in their formulation as well. And even the mostly vegan brands often have one or two non-vegan colors (ivory black or bone black).
While Schmincke are not vegan, Daniel Smith is a great choice for the granulating base pigments like potters pink, teal and granulating earth browns, hematite for a softer granulating black or lunar black for a strong pbk11. Since otherwise only Schmincke and Winsor & Newton have easy to get potters pink and both of them use ox-gall, the animal cholesterol flow additive. You'll also have the best luck with granulation in the Daniel Smith catalog, who really make their paints with textural effects in mind.
@@KimberlyCrick Daniel Smith does have a potter's pink! I haven't tried it yet, though, but I noticed it when messing around with my dot card earlier today :)
@@FaerieDust lol I totally butchered my sentence apparently, I meant to tell her that DS was the place to go since it was the only other easy to get brand. Maimeri has a potters pink too, but I didn't like the quality as much. I think Daniel Smith's Potters Pink might actually be slightly more granulating than even Schmincke's, so I look forward to playing with the mixtures in alternate brands.
thank you both for the detailed information.. I have bought in the past schmincke horadem paints unaware and I regret it. ever since I went over to Daniel Smith. it cost more for me here in Europe but better that than being a hypocrite in using paints with animal unfriendly ingredients while being a vegetarian and loving animals.
I stopped buying schmincke. their paints are very good quality but.. that's not worth the death of a animal for me to get gall from them. avoided their aquadrop for it.
there is synthetic gall so it's not even needed anymore.
I was totally unaware that they have ox gall in all their paints. I googled it and it's confirmed on their website, not that I doubted your information. just for myself in knowing how I could have missed it. a bit naive on my side thinking pigments come from stones and plants etc forgetting for a moment humans in general exploit animals a lot. a bit stupid from my side. as I could have found it on their website. just something I didn't think of.
I wish they place such details on websites where we can buy paints. just a easy note of ingredients such as: "natural pigments, animal pigments and ox gall" and I would know enough. I started painting 2 years ago and it was not in my mind to think of, being totally unaware.. got to know these info along the way and only bits of it and heard Daniel Smith is vegan before so I just went over to that brand and before buying any other brand I try to find the info around it.
again thank you both 😊 I gonna try to get these mixes myself from Daniel Smith single pigments.
