I don't usually comment on demos of artist material but saying that I appreciate your videos very much even though I do have knowledge of oil paints, you are doing a great job, thank you so much.
I also don’t usually comment on these videos, so I’ll just say thank you for these. I’ve learned more in just a few sessions with yours than any where else online. I feel much more confident in trying to paint than I have before. Please keep them coming!
Thanks so much for the nice compliment! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos. I will probably be taking a break on uploading during the holidays but don't worry there's more to come! :)
Thank you very much for detailed explanation and information on oil colours. I have seen your videos several times but still from time to time I watch them again as I discover something new as my experience grows.
So happy to have stumbled onto your channel. You're one few channels that gives detail on oils and actually knows what you're talking about. Thank you for the information and the in depth scope.
I just wanted to to tell you how amazing your channel is. I started painting in acrylics last year but found myself getting extremely frustrated with the fast drying time and dissatisfied with the flat, plastic like finish. I have been researching oil paints for weeks and have learned more since finding your channel this morning than in those weeks. Thank you so much for such great and to the point information.
Thank you for the marvelous information you share,in particular, regarding certain colors,with amazing detail,and,comparisons. It has helped me enormously decide on which,blue,which red,which yellow,and,end up being absolutely pleased with the result. Well done,Jason,for the time you put in to your great videos.
Very helpful video! Blue is one of those colors that I tend to either over-use or under-use, and rarely get right in the first attempt at mixing. So this really helped me to better understand the qualities and properties of all these different pigments of blue. Thanks!
I love your content and respect your talent. Recently I sought to settle the cool/warm blue debate for myself by devising a painting exercise based on the rubric, "Cool colors recede, warm colors advance." I took a 9x12 exercise board and placed it into landscape format. I then drew a vertical line at 6 inches, dividing the board in half. Then I drew a horizontal line at 4.5 inches, dividing the board into upper and lower halves. I then drew a large circle in the left half and the right half as if it were a still life of a sphere setting on a table. Now the fun begins. On one side paint the foreground "table" with UMB, and the background "wall" with TB, paint the sphere with UMB. On the other half paint the table with TB and the wall in UMB and the sphere with TB. (Make sure not to get the blues mixed or this wont work) If UMB is cool and TB is warm the half of the board painted with UMB as the wall (receding) and TB on the foreground (advancing) will look correct. If UMB is warm and TB is cool, the half of the board painted with TB as the wall (receding) and UMB on the foreground (advancing) will look correct. I believe this is a definitive proof for warm and cool blues. I would be interested in seeing your results. Thanks and keep up the great work.

All of your videos are so helpful... I am just getting started in oils... and it is helping me decide what colors to buy because they are quite pricey..!
Thanks for the comment! I'm so glad you found the video useful. Get the best you can afford but remember there are great brands that are priced well. Utrecht and Lukas 1862 are great examples. Have fun! :)
So happy to have discovered your Chanel, Jason. I'm returning to painting after many decades and there's so much to learn! your video presentations are so clarify and present a huge amount of info in an organized and interesting way. I took your suggestion on quality and ordered some Blue Ridge paints from Eric Silver. The quality is amazing and I was shocked at how reasonable the prices are for such a premium , hand mixed oil paint. It's great to support small business, too, in such a competitive market. Thanks again and I also love the longer demos like the one on pastel. More on any type of medium in a long format would be super. Oh, and the filming/editing are excellent. Snd the history of the colors rounds it all out.
Thanks so much for the wonderful and kind comment! I'm so glad you've enjoyed my videos. :) I do hope to upload more eventually but don't know when yet. Thanks for watching!
Anyone who reads this...Jason's newsletter is full of wonderful information...and holiday spirit...thanks Jason...hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving as well...I always went back home in NJ for the holidays...seeing the Xmas lights...the snow..oh NJ how I miss it...
Hi Jason. I so appreciate this video. I'm getting ready to buy some oil paints and had no idea of the differences between the various blues. This video was so informative and well presented. going to check now to see if you have videos on the various reds and yellows!! Thanks again.
Sir you teach so well, one interesting thing which I found very sweet was that you are matching your clothes with the colour. That makes these videos even more special for all of us, it’s a small yet sweet detail for us, you’re a great knowledgeable artist, thank you.
I love perusing through your older videos, so much to pull from here! I do not use white with anything on my canvas until the very end, after all the darker tones have been set in place, so when you say the Ultramarine is cool, I don't know what you are talking about... but then you put white in it, and I see the coolness of it. Ultramarine blue is probably my most used color, I mix it with burnt umber to get my black, which ends up being very warm indeed. The only other blue I use is quinacrine cyan, (which I believe is just like the teal you have) and it fills in all the gaps between the blues... my palette stays limited, makes my job easier! But cyan and phalo green makes the most intense greens, with a pure range of fade all the way between the two!
I have a tube of cobalt chromite blue from rublev. It is a strong tinter unlike most cobalt colors. It is pigment blue 36 on the color index. Love this color for water with their viridian, mixing greens, grays with earth colors, and all their unique colors.
Prussian Blue is a single pigment which is PB27. You can also mimic it though by mixing Phthalo Blue with a tiny amount of black. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks Jason! For years I’ve been trying to mix nice turquoise blues using ultramarines and ceruleans... and failing. I glad to finally learn it’s not completely my fault. Colbalt Teal here I come!
Thanks for watching! Yes, if you've seen my video on true primaries, I explain that bright turquoise/cyan is actually a primary which is why it's impossible to actually mix it. Enjoy your Cobalt Teal! It's a great color. :)
@@walcottfineart5088 You're correct that Cyan is a true primary, but both turquoise and cobalt teal lean far more to the green than Cyan does. Cobalt Teal is actually fairly easy to mix using Cobalt Blue and Phthalo Green with maybe a touch of white, depending on the brand of Cobalt Blue.
@@Frank_Nemo Yes you are correct! Manganese Blue was much closer, but they stopped making it. Pigment mixing will never be perfect, but starting with the closest pure color will always give best results :) Thanks for watching!
Hi Walcott! May I suggest you to review Mayan Blue? I am from Honduras and Mayan Blue was invented by the ancient Mayans that lived here. There is a very interesting history behind the nanotechnology involved in its special characteristics.
Nice demonstration. I have not played with phthalo blue. But I prefer it’s intensity for my current project. Thank you for being comprehensive as I’ve not delved into blues outside of french ultramarine and cobalt. Nicely done.
Walcott Fine Art I’ve mixed French ultramarine with with magenta and both whites, zinc white and titanium white but especially titanium white and got the most beautiful violets. I even almost got a dioxane violet and before adding white I got very close or spot on to a dioxane purple. 4:174:25 Walcott talks about what I said in a perfect synopsis.
Kings Blue and Royal blue are nice too. A warmer and cooler light blue. I mean one of those is warmer than the other. Can't recall right now which is which but it's nice to have light blues out of the tube to retain the chroma.
Thanks for watching! Some artists do consider Phthalo to be cool and Ultramarine to be warm...it all depends on your perception. There is no right or wrong. :)
Great question! "Hue" added to a color name means that it is an imitation of the real genuine color. So "Cadmium Red Hue" would be a paint meant to mimic real Cadmium Red made with a different pigment(s). This is most often done with colors where the real pigment is very expensive, offering a budget alternative. Sometimes they do it when the real pigment is no longer made. Thanks for watching!
Walcott Fine Art Much appreciate your reply. I thought it is a lighter color of what the name is and it didn’t make sense because we could have just mixed with white. But now your explanation makes better sense :)
Have you had the chance to try m. graham oils? I've found them less expensive on the whole than even gamblin, and the texture of the paints is a joy, so silky smooth! My tube of cobalt teal from their line was a steal; might be a good option for a painter on a more limited budget who really wants to try the color.
I'm using phtalo blue light version (pre mix with white) to cool down flesh tones, browns or warm colors with hue close to orange. Its not change value becasue its light version. And i found that its works much better for me than ultramarine.
No, the reason you call Ultra Marine Blue a warm blue is because it has that little bit of red. And yes, yellow is warm but green (having some blue it) makes it a cool yellow not a warm yellow. So it depends on how much warm or cool cooler is added and what colors are next to it, that determines whether it's considered warm or cool!
there is absolutely no consensus about the reddish-blues being warm or cool. In past it was generally considered warm, but today many painters are calling it cool. I tend to think that it is cool, not warm. I live in brazil and I see a lot of greenish-blue waters and sky, but never reddish-blue, which reminds me of Iceland.
Thanks again for such a good video. Can you answer a question about Cerulean? I like it, but there seem to be two different kinds, and the prices are very different. I tried to figure out why, and it turns out that the expensive kind uses PB35, while the less expensive is PB36. Have you found that the difference matters?
Great question! The PB35 is the true Cerulean blue made from oxides of Cobalt and Tin. The PB36 is a slightly different variant of that known as Cobalt Chromite Spinel that also contains aluminum and chromium compounds as well. It is also more greenish (slightly) than PB35 and a little more saturated. They are both excellent, lightfast colors, so you can use which ever works best for you. Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks so much! That looks like my standard traditional medium of 1/3 linseed (black) oil, 1/3 dammar varnish and 1/3 turpentine. I just mix it myself.
Great display of blue colors . I was wondering if you know the color that Guy Harvey uses on his paintings for the underwater paint? I can't figure it out. He seems to use it for just about all the paintings. It seems like a royal blue brilliant or something. If you happen to look would you let me know please? Thank you, keep up the great wortk.
Thanks for watching! It's honestly hard to say what an artist uses if you don't know. Looking at the photos of Harvey's work, it could be layers of glazes that he does to create that rich blue. Ultramarine Blue has that rich color when glazed or it could be a mix of two transparent blues like Ultramarine and Phthalo Blue.
If you had to pick only 1 option besides Ultramarine Blue, what would it be, Walcott? By the way, thank you very much for all your hard work in this youtube channel, your information is very much appreciated. Cheers from Brazil!
I recently bought Ultramarine deep from Rembrandt. Is it better than Ultramarine light? Should I buy the light version as well? I would like to know your opinion on the two versions.
i learn alot from videos, thank you. What oil paint brand do you use as Cobalt Blue PB20 and which one would you recommend? Is this pigment pricey? Thank you in advance
Gamblin is a good brand for the Cobalt Blue. It is a more expansive pigment in general, but Gamblin is well priced and an excellent paint. If you can't find Gamblin then Winsor & Newton is also good for this color. Thanks for the nice comment!
Most likely the one you see here is my own formula which I mix myself. It's the traditional medium of 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 damar varnish. I do also sometime use Maroger medium which I purchase here: classicmediums.com/shop/ols/products/flemish-maroger-medium Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 thank you for the reply. One more question and I'll leave you alone. In the formula you mention, could Damar varnish be replaced with Gamvar varnish?
@@stevenmark5959 The answer to that is definitely NO! Gamvar is not a natural resin and was designed to be very easy to remove. It is not to be used as a medium or medium component. If you are looking for safer alternatives for mediums that use turpentine, I would suggest either Galkyd or one of Gamblin's solvent free mediums. Thanks for asking! :)
I have never tried that color. Be careful if it is genuine Indigo which is PB 66. It's the same color used to dye blue jeans and is not permanent enough for artist's use. There are also "Indigo" paints that are mixtures of Ultramarine with other colors. These are fine to use. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for that info, I checked. I like the Artist line of oil from UTRECHT and its their indigo, which says its a synthetic and with the description of Vat 1, any thoughts on this particular color and manufacture, Thanks again
Yes YInMn blue is too expensive to make it worth it. Form what I hear the color is right between Ultramarine and Cobalt Blue so there is really no reason to spend the money, you can just mix those two. Thanks for watching!
You can, sort of, but it won't be as saturated as the actual cobalt pigment. Turquoise aka "Cyan" is really a primary so it's hard to mix a bright one. Thanks for watching! :)

Thanks for watching! Some artists do consider Phthalo to be cool and Ultramarine to be warm...it all depends on your perception. There is no right or wrong. :)
@@walcottfineart5088 this is true
never got the warm/cool thing about ultramarine- when you veer in either direction from pure blue it is getting warmer, either reddish or greenish.

No, the reason you call Ultra Marine Blue a warm blue is because it has that little bit of red. And yes, yellow is warm but green (having some blue it) makes it a cool yellow not a warm yellow. So it depends on how much warm or cool cooler is added and what colors are next to it, that determines whether it's considered warm or cool!
there is absolutely no consensus about the reddish-blues being warm or cool. In past it was generally considered warm, but today many painters are calling it cool. I tend to think that it is cool, not warm. I live in brazil and I see a lot of greenish-blue waters and sky, but never reddish-blue, which reminds me of Iceland.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. :)
Awesome informations 💙
Thanks for watching! :)
Wow super subscribed
Thanks and welcome! :)
Thank you sir, how different artist view same color differently?
Thanks for your informative videos. Which white are you using to mix the colours, is it titanium white or flake white?
Thanks for watching! :) I used titanium white in all these color demo videos.
I very high on mdma but these are still very informative 👍
Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks again for such a good video. Can you answer a question about Cerulean? I like it, but there seem to be two different kinds, and the prices are very different. I tried to figure out why, and it turns out that the expensive kind uses PB35, while the less expensive is PB36. Have you found that the difference matters?
Great question! The PB35 is the true Cerulean blue made from oxides of Cobalt and Tin. The PB36 is a slightly different variant of that known as Cobalt Chromite Spinel that also contains aluminum and chromium compounds as well. It is also more greenish (slightly) than PB35 and a little more saturated. They are both excellent, lightfast colors, so you can use which ever works best for you. Thanks for watching! :)
Hi Jason. Liked this video. Could you tell me what you are using for a medium? It makes a nice glaze.
Thanks so much! That looks like my standard traditional medium of 1/3 linseed (black) oil, 1/3 dammar varnish and 1/3 turpentine. I just mix it myself.
Thank you
Great display of blue colors . I was wondering if you know the color that Guy Harvey uses on his paintings for the underwater paint? I can't figure it out. He seems to use it for just about all the paintings. It seems like a royal blue brilliant or something. If you happen to look would you let me know please? Thank you, keep up the great wortk.
Thanks for watching! It's honestly hard to say what an artist uses if you don't know. Looking at the photos of Harvey's work, it could be layers of glazes that he does to create that rich blue. Ultramarine Blue has that rich color when glazed or it could be a mix of two transparent blues like Ultramarine and Phthalo Blue.
@@walcottfineart5088 Thanks alot man as i appreciate your advice and I have watched plenty of videos and learned alot. Thank you
If you had to pick only 1 option besides Ultramarine Blue, what would it be, Walcott? By the way, thank you very much for all your hard work in this youtube channel, your information is very much appreciated. Cheers from Brazil!
Other than Ultramarine I would choose Phthalo Blue. It's a nice contrast to the Ultramarine and is a nice green leaning blue. Thanks for watching! :)
You are awesome 👏👏👏👏👏🙏👍👌👋👩🎨
Thanks for watching! :)
I recently bought Ultramarine deep from Rembrandt. Is it better than Ultramarine light? Should I buy the light version as well? I would like to know your opinion on the two versions.
I use cerulean blue hue, it's a phthalo with some white in it. I like it, phthalo are a bit too powerful, and real cerulean is kinda expensive here.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, Phthalo Blue is very powerful! A little goes a long way.
Excellent! Lets paint! Almost 35 k suscribers!
thanks!
i learn alot from videos, thank you.
What oil paint brand do you use as Cobalt Blue PB20 and which one would you recommend?
Is this pigment pricey?
Thank you in advance
Gamblin is a good brand for the Cobalt Blue. It is a more expansive pigment in general, but Gamblin is well priced and an excellent paint. If you can't find Gamblin then Winsor & Newton is also good for this color. Thanks for the nice comment!
Another great video Jason. If you've said it in other videos I' missed it, but what glazing medium do you use?
Most likely the one you see here is my own formula which I mix myself. It's the traditional medium of 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 linseed oil and 1/3 damar varnish. I do also sometime use Maroger medium which I purchase here: classicmediums.com/shop/ols/products/flemish-maroger-medium Thanks for watching!
@@walcottfineart5088 thank you for the reply. One more question and I'll leave you alone. In the formula you mention, could Damar varnish be replaced with Gamvar varnish?
@@stevenmark5959 The answer to that is definitely NO! Gamvar is not a natural resin and was designed to be very easy to remove. It is not to be used as a medium or medium component. If you are looking for safer alternatives for mediums that use turpentine, I would suggest either Galkyd or one of Gamblin's solvent free mediums. Thanks for asking! :)
@@walcottfineart5088 point taken, thank you😁
This is a good idea. Are you going to do any other colors? Red or yellow maybe? I like your videos. Make more.
Thanks for the comment! Yes, I plan to do more like this. Red and Yellow videos are in the works. Stay tuned!
That's great. Can't wait. Thank you.
big fan of Indigo blue myself
I have never tried that color. Be careful if it is genuine Indigo which is PB 66. It's the same color used to dye blue jeans and is not permanent enough for artist's use. There are also "Indigo" paints that are mixtures of Ultramarine with other colors. These are fine to use. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for that info, I checked. I like the Artist line of oil from UTRECHT and its their indigo, which says its a synthetic and with the description of Vat 1, any thoughts on this particular color and manufacture, Thanks again
oops, i'm also a huge fan of indigo so this is good to know ^^'
Thanks for the info, too bad I learned about this after I already bought Mussini with that pigment :(
Walcott Fine Art Ultramarine with a very small bit of Dioxazine purple and Quinacridone Magenta, and a small bit as black no white
Great video. Anyone going to try yinmin blue? Touch pricey though!
Yes YInMn blue is too expensive to make it worth it. Form what I hear the color is right between Ultramarine and Cobalt Blue so there is really no reason to spend the money, you can just mix those two. Thanks for watching!
But we can achieve turquoise from mixing phthalo blue and azo lemon yellow and a little titanium white right
You can, sort of, but it won't be as saturated as the actual cobalt pigment. Turquoise aka "Cyan" is really a primary so it's hard to mix a bright one. Thanks for watching! :)
Big fan of prussian blue myself, seems like it would be more common than curelean becase it is way cheaper!
Thanks for watching! You're probably right, but I didn't have any on hand when I made the video. Perhaps a "Blue 2" video should be forthcoming. :)
I'm a big fan of Prussian blue myself. Love it. Surprised he didn't mention it. Bob Ross used it.
