I really enjoyed this video, I love how you describe each color and the feelings that you have towards each one. When I saw you swatching Schmincke’s Ultramarine Finest, I had to pause the video and order it. It is a beautiful ultramarine, so thank you for that!
This is such a useful and cohesive color palette! Thank you for walking us through your color choices, it's clear they were made with a lot of consideration and experience! I also love using green gold for mixing luminous but natural greens! I have an urban sketching watercolor tutorial book and I couldn't figure out how to get my rust stains to be as pigmented or strong, but your trick with the nail tool has inspired me! Thank you 🌟
omg thank you so much for the kind words! i saw a tutorial on how to paint the dark fuzzy spots on cheetahs and improvised :p A silicon brush also works well. the trick is to make sure the surface is damp or almost dry, so the paint won't spread too much! good luck 😊
Thank you for sharing strong opinions that many YT shy away from _ how swatching and mixing charts are boring, paint quality can’t save a bad composition etc. subscribed!
This was so relaxing and inspiring! I loved learning why you select certain colors for your palette and how you use them. Also, you have such a soothing voice.
Thank you so much for talking through your methodology with choosing the colors that you did! I had a pallet of like 30-something colors, and then I went down to a pallet of 8 primaries and tried mixing everything myself 🥴 I see people always talking about "no no color harmony, you should mix your own greens!" but how you explain it, it makes so much more sense to my brain!
I completely understand! and so glad it helps! i bought so many colors out of curiosity but find them to be quite unnecessary or unsuitable...i also found that minimal palettes with only primaries was difficult to keep everyhing wet in my climate, the brushes or palette, the paper or the paints, they all just dry up so quickly when i spend time mixing colors. so it does require a lof of pre mixing i suppose... but i like the spontaneity and mixing on paper. so each method comes with limitations and it's important to figure out what we prioritise :)
Thank you so much for sharing your thought process! It was so interesting to hear how you logically dissected the colours you chose (eg. why you did/didn't choose a colour and what worked/didn't work) but also backing up your choices with experimentation/experience. It has made me rethink/evaluate the colour choices I've made with my own palette and whether each colour serves a big enough purpose to take a spot in the palette.
This was so useful! Thank you so much! I want to create a tiny palette of greens to play in the summer, I also mix my greens but sometimes you just want a quick impression and standing there mixing the right green can be tedious. I also found the ultramarine violet info very interesting, I am still unsure of getting it since I rarely use purples and tend to mix my owns, but what you said about the shadows made a lot of sense and it would quicken my urban sketching if I can select a colour for shadows on white. Do you use it for shadows on other colours?
thank you for your comment! :) im glad you find it useful🫶 and yes i do use ultramarine violet for other shadows like trees trunks, wooden doors, or shadows under cars, inside of shopfront's windows etc, i find it to be very convenient 😊
hi! i think it depends on the subject matter i want to paint. in landscape and urbanskeching i prefer having transparent colors, and i can make more opaque colors by adding white. during summer i painted a lot of clouds, and i love using convinient pastel opaque colors for them. Right now im painting the 100 heads challenge, so im back to transparent colors. i hope that make sense 😊
Great video, I just have a question... How long will the colors from the tubes on the palette last... If I put them on the palette with a lid... how long can I use them... Thank you and greetings from the Czech Republic 🌞☀️🎨 🖌️
hi! i think it depends on how often you paint, but a color i use very frequently like yellow ochre will last about 2-3 weeks. i hope that answers your question? 😊
@@pocmaranyartjournal yes you can! it's actually better to wait till it's completely dried, and that usually takes 2-4 days depends on the humidity. after that you can rewet the hardened paint with a wet brush and use it that way. some brands that uses honey in their paints might never completely dry, and it can be a bit messy if not careful. 😇

I appreciated a well curated palate. Too many colors created a lazy mind.

Really love this video. Thank you for explaining your rationale. Do you purposefully choose the most transparent colours? Or is that incidental?

@@ultramarine_finest I squeeze the color from the tube onto the palette...can I continue to use the color after it dries?
@@pocmaranyartjournal yes you can! it's actually better to wait till it's completely dried, and that usually takes 2-4 days depends on the humidity. after that you can rewet the hardened paint with a wet brush and use it that way. some brands that uses honey in their paints might never completely dry, and it can be a bit messy if not careful. 😇
@@ultramarine_finest Very Thank🖌️🖼️💐🌞☘️
Going out sketching seems to be a better use of time than making color charts. You can find your colors as you look at the world..
true! although I'm not always brave enough to sketch outside 🥲
