As a fan of this series AND of birds, thank you for blessing us with both. Dark green and violet is such an interesting pairing I've never considered, what a gorgeous take you had on it!
I really love this color combo! Especially using it to paint a pigeon seems perfect. Despite your misgivings in some of the paint applications, I think these pieces turned out really nice.
Really enjoying this series, Denise! When I paint for me, not for my students, I always choose a limited palette to challenge myself. This is one of my favorite combos!!
Love love love this series!! Please continue! Would love more of these lesser known colors. Perylene green would play interestingly in place of a blue or green
Thank you! My patrons have access to a voting survey based on dozens and dozens of color pairings. If the series is still going well once I work my way through those winners, I'll take stock of what hasn't been covered for additional episode :)
Hullo Denise, I so enjoy watching your videos and I am so thankful you have better Patreons than me. I had to give up on all of my Patreon payments after my hospitalization and retirement. I still follow you and others hoping that one day I can make it back, who knows maybe that buyer is just sitting out there looking for someone to buy up their stock of paintings! HA! I remember to stop and let paint dry by going over a spiel I used when teaching classes in watercolors. Planning out your painting is so important with watercolors. This medium is not as forgiving as others, yet it can be the most spontaneous medium of all! It just depends on what your trying to achieve. I have dozens of paintings planned and several are already on paper! I am most excited about a Studio Ghibli frame from Spirited Away. It is from the window of the train when Chihiro and No face are going to the sister witches house and we see the lonely house on the water. That is what I ma going for next! I just love the dynamic sky with so many colors and in fact the purple from your painting just might be in there if not pure, in a mix! Well I see I have yet again not been able to just say "Wonderful painting Denise, Thanks for sharing!" but I do hope your doing well and we all can see your painting is still top form, even if you do not feel it yet, we see it just fine! Stay safe and be well.
The pigeon is just so stunningly beautiful, and the hairless cat?! Gorgeous. I love this color combo! Thank you as always for your incredibly helpful work!
Oooh you're right! I love that color. I haven't used it in a long while, so I didn't make the connection, but that explains why I like them both so much!
That was lovely! I want to get my hands on Cobalt Green Deep. The way it moved was magical. Seriously love this combo. I wonder how it interacts with my violet. 🤔🎨
Hullo, Just a quick note if your looking for paint recommendations from Denise, just go to DaVinci paints of California and purchase one of her curated sets or take the names down and see what you might already have in your watercolor drawer! I was able to put together her wildlife palette from my DaVinci tube collection and only had to buy the real Cerulean Blue Genuine to complete it! Quality paints at a reasonable price!
I think this is one of those "happy accident" moments. The set of colors is great. Ive been looking for some limited palette ideas to test, and now ive got 3 similar but different ones to add from just 1 video 😁
@@Beerbeerosa Thanks. I had suspected Barbarosa will feature in some form or another, considering your name. But I believe Barbarosa was an Ottoman admiral. It was Barbosa who was the captain of the Black Pearl, although the name Barbarosa might have been the influence behind the name Barbosa.
It always surprises me how useful greens can be in mixes. This was amazing! I love the dark blues/blacks and violets that you got here! I own neither of these colors, so the mixes were very interesting to see. And the pigeon is so cute! Great video, as always! By the way, I noticed that you are consistently working in the Etchr Signature Series sketchbook for your limited color palette series. I got their hot pressed version from 2021 earlier this year as a gift, and noticed a big difference between painting on the front and back sides of the paper. I love working on the front side, but I find the back side a lot more difficult to work with. How is the cold pressed version? Are you noticing a difference at all?
I haven't noticed a huge difference so far on the cold pressed paper, but I am always swatching on the backside and mostly painting on the front, so it's possible I'm missing something. I'm not super familiar with Fabriano Artistco paper, which to my knowledge is what is in these. But I'll look for it next time I film. My biggest issue so far with it has been how off white they are! It's been very difficult to color balance 😅
@@InLiquidColor Ah, that is interesting to hear! I guess it's possible the cold pressed paper acts different, or that the paper also changed a bit since the 2021 version that I have. In my sketchbook, the back side is also not consistently in the same spot, and sometimes both the left page and the right page of a spread will both be back sides. I don't mind the off white paper, but I'm also not color swatching (much) in this sketchbook, unlike you. I look forward to your next part of the limited palette series.
What a fantastic series you make🎉! I like this couple of colours and that cat inspired me a lot, it’s amazing ❤❤. I will try to leave for a moment Greco Roman statues subjects to try animals 😊. By the way I found a couple of news about new Luminous Holbein Watercolour series, but I would love to have your review/ opinion just like the other video about Granulating colours. Thanks a lot
I really love your channel, as well as your reviews! And in one of your reviews- the one about Roman Szmals watercolor paints- you mentioned that you would love the colours, but you wouldnt use them in the future, cause there are some problems when they dry. But in this video you said something about Shadow Violet from Roman Szmal- does that mean you use the watercolour paints sometimes? Or maybe, you have found a way to get around this drying problems? 😅 Best regards, a fangirl❤
I have learned to love them! Shadow Violet in particular is such a gorgeous convenience color, and it's stunning for value studies, among other things! I do need to do an update on RS sometime!
@@InLiquidColor you really have to! I ve been wanting to order them for a long time, now I think I really gonna Do it! 💪 Could you maybe recomened me some colours I absolutely have to order? And when you say Shadow Violet, Do you really mean ShadowViolet, or Do you mean ShadowViolet LIGHT? Best regards and thx for the Quick answer ;)
@@NinaQueena Shadow Violet, not the light version. It's hard to recommend colors since we all have different preferences, but I also enjoy their Misty Morning and Aquarius Green.
Is it possible to mimic this combo with something like Moonglow and Perylene Green? Or would the multiple colors in Moonglow mess up the mixing options?
As a fan of this series AND of birds, thank you for blessing us with both. Dark green and violet is such an interesting pairing I've never considered, what a gorgeous take you had on it!
I’m really enjoying this series. I learn so much with every video. Thank you for your hard work. 😊 really great.
I'm so glad you're enjoying them! Thank you :)
Absolutely love this series!!

I love this color combination! I've been thinking about buying manganese violet for a while, and this video has finally convinced me I need it!!
I'm sorry but also you're welcome! I hope you love it 🥰
I love your videos! I use them as inspiration to dye wool and silk fiber that I blend and then spin into beautiful yarn with deep and variable colors.
I love that so much! Thank you for sharing.
Ohhhhh. Lovely. Two of my favourite colours used in a way I’d never have thought of.
I’m off to play…
Yay! I'd love to hear what you come up with.
Really enjoying the series!
Love pigeon sticker idea!
I love bird paintings! :D And this palette is super pretty, I especially love the blues it makes!
The pigeon is just so stunningly beautiful, and the hairless cat?! Gorgeous. I love this color combo! Thank you as always for your incredibly helpful work!
So glad you like it! Thank you!
A Monday video? We are definitely getting spoiled! 😢
I love the background music!
Yay love this series!!!
So glad!
This is my favorite episode of the series so far! The color palette, the subject matter, the music - it's all so perfect!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This series is so inspiring! Thank you
I'm so glad to hear that!
I have both of these colors on a wishlist already so we'll see if my willpower holds up through the video lol
Such a lovely colour combo 🤗 I absolutely adore that Cobalt Green Deep 😍
I love that sphinx kitty! Wrinkles ARE fun to paint. The background reminds me of Nordmann Green from Isaro which is PG7 and PV16.
Oooh you're right! I love that color. I haven't used it in a long while, so I didn't make the connection, but that explains why I like them both so much!
That was lovely! I want to get my hands on Cobalt Green Deep. The way it moved was magical. Seriously love this combo. I wonder how it interacts with my violet. 🤔🎨
I've always loved this combo - very Wimbledon. Great examples using them, thank you for sharing 💜
woah that palette is huge!! what a great colour combo, I never would've thought of those 🥰

I NEED this pigeon sticker, omg
Yay! Working on the details - stay tuned!
For some reason I really like green and purple/violet mixes. My fav is Perylene Green and Quin Purple.
I need to try this one too
They're all so stunning. I adore phthalo green and a magenta/red violet as well.
If you had listen to 20 minute videos about pigments on my "things I enjoy as an adult" bingo card I wouldn't believe you but here we are.
I think this is one of those "happy accident" moments. The set of colors is great. Ive been looking for some limited palette ideas to test, and now ive got 3 similar but different ones to add from just 1 video 😁

Aw man I living the smooth baby struggle in portrait workshop this weekend 😅
Oof! It's a rough one!
this isn't a pokemon of course but it does kinda give realistic Espeon vibes haha
WoW, Epic video !!! Keep up a good work D ! :P
Is that one of the pirates from 🐒🏝️?
@@awatercolourist its Hayredin Barbaros, Captain of Black Pearl in movie ;)

I went to DaVinci and neither of these colors is available. Would you please tell me what brand you are using in the video? Thank you.
I do mention it in the video. The Manganese Violet is Stoneground and the CGD is W&N. DV currently does not make either.

Only one way to find out!
How come the washes on the cat are not granulating? Shouldn’t the paint granulate considering the large water-to-paint ratio?
It has a very soft granulation to it :) the layers are just very light, so it's a bit harder to see on camera.
@@InLiquidColor Thanks!
I thought W&N’s Cobalt Green Deep was a PG50?
Nope, it's PG26.
@@InLiquidColor Thanks! But now I have this childish urge to prove you wrong 😂.
Well, what do you know! You’re right! I could have sworn it was PG50 on the W&N website. I was there not three days ago.
