Thanks Tracy. I tend to focus on one main thing each year. A solo exhibition last year, creating another new course and teaching this year, next year my Blog, RUclips and Website.
Jane, you have been such a blessing in my watercolor journey. I never took formal lessons. After a 25 year hiatus, I retired and started painting again. I knew that I needed to go back and start from square one if I were to become the best artist possible. I had never learned pigments before, just colors. Your blog has been an immeasurable help. I just discovered your book on mixing, which I definitely plan to purchase. Thanks for all you do ❤
Thank you for all your generous offerings of knowledge and experience. I appreciate your last few comments on what is useful and what is “lovely to see.”
Thanks for the video! I worked in watercolors for years but now work in oils. I miss the quality of the colors and the pigments. It was a joy to watch this, especially with your commentary. You have a lovely voice.
Zecchi Lapiz Lazuli has been on my dream list for ages. Thank you for this. So lovely to see you pop up here. I’m in the midst of a house move, but hope to take both your courses this year. 😊 Take good care.
Hi June! Been following you for years! Thank you for what you do! What is the round palette of blues with lids for each color? Where can that be purchased?
Hmm... I'm not first. Must be another rip in the space-time continuum. These are becoming more and more common 😂. But still: yay! Another Jane Blundell video 😊
@awatercolourist Ditto! 🖖 I've been subscribed to her for years and just received a notification in the last 8 hours of her videos posted in the past week. 😂 We found her, and that's all she at matters. 😁
@janeblundellart Our fellow pigment nerd and friend , @awatercolourist or AW for short, enjoys being the very 1st commenter on any RUclips watercolor video. 🫡 😊 😆 He is less ambiguous on any other subject. 😊
I'm intrigued by the Lapis Lazuli you showed as a sample. I'm off to your website to search for an entry about it, and how to spell it. I dread to think how hard it would be to get hold of 😊 (Zecchi not Zegghi! That explains why my Internet searches failed!)
Hello! I am interested in unusual pigments, so I was surprised when you said that Old Holland's Manganese blue is the real PB33. I have looked for it in their website, but the two manganese blues they have in the chart are multipigmented, so I am confused. Are you sure it is the real PB33? Thank you very much for your videos. I wish you a happy new year
What I said was ‘Old Holland was the last to have the pure manganese available commercially’. I painted the genuine PB33, but they don’t make that any more. Sorry for the confusion. Happy new year to you too.
thanks Jane...any chance you could improve the video quality from 360p to maybe 1080HD?...as 360p is very blurry and we can barely see clearly...poor quality video...sadly...your videos deserve to have much better visual quality as they are SOOO VISUAL!....if you could change that on your end...it would be great!...thanks Janis
I save them according to the RUclips/social media settings on my computer, which had changed for some reason. Will look at re-loading once I figure out how to save the higher resolution on RUclips as well as my computer...however it may not make a big difference as I have zoomed in quite a bit with this video...
DS Cerulean Chromium, PB36, is richer and stronger than regular cerulean PB35. I'd rather start with a stronger colour and water it down than have a soft colour that has little strength. This pigment is called Cobalt Cerulean in Schmincke and is the same pigment (in a different form) used in the gorgeous DS Cobalt Turquoise.
I prefer to concentrate on the bias of each colour to avoid any confusion about warm and cool colours. However, though we may agree to disagree about warm and cool blues, I have to disagree about greens being warm and purples being cool. Both are made with a warm and a cool colour and both can be either warm or cool depending how much of the warm and how much of the cool colour is in each. A yellow-green will be warm; a blue-green will be cool. A red-purple will be warm, a blue-purple will be cool. Only oranges, being made with two warm colours, can be said to be always warm. (Some warmer, or higher chroma, than others of course - it's all relative.)
Thank you for sharing your blues. Im so happy to see you active again on RUclips. You have been missed. ❤️

@janeblundellart Your contributions to the watercolor community have been immeasurable. We are all enjoying your journey. 😊

Thank you Jane. Blue is my favourite colour and it is great to see them swatched out. 👍🇦🇺
When in doubt about a color or pigment Jane’s blog comes to my rescue. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you for all your generous offerings of knowledge and experience. I appreciate your last few comments on what is useful and what is “lovely to see.”
Thank you very much for the voice over/commentary - very helpful. Your thoughts are always appreciated. I have learned so much from your blog!
Love this, thank you

Well what a pleasant surprise. It's nice to see you back!
Thank you Jane... I could watch you swatch all day. So calming.💝

You have the tidiest swatches.well painted.i really enjoyed this.thank you
Yes, voice-over extremely interesting 👍
Hi June! Been following you for years! Thank you for what you do! What is the round palette of blues with lids for each color? Where can that be purchased?
It's called the Aquarelle palette, and can still be purchased from Carverstudio.com as far as I know.
Hmm... I'm not first. Must be another rip in the space-time continuum. These are becoming more and more common 😂. But still: yay! Another Jane Blundell video 😊

@@TracyIndy Indeed! That is all that matters! 🖖🏼 were doing Star Trek waves now? Cool 🖖🏼🖖🏼🖖🏼😄😄
I saw your comment first. I wasn't sure if you meant you saw it first, commented first or perhaps that the egg came first (before the chicken!)

I second this. Wonderful video and thank you so much but 360p is blurry sadly. 😊
I have uploaded a higher resolution version here ruclips.net/video/e87CBJotm2U/видео.htmlsi=cqy9E1KcMyrdWS76
@janeblundellart thank you so much, will watch now!
I'm curious what brand that PB28 is? I've learned SO much from you over the years -- thanks!
Sorry - it is Daniel Smith.
Why do you prefer cerulean blue chromium over regular cerulean blue?
DS Cerulean Chromium, PB36, is richer and stronger than regular cerulean PB35. I'd rather start with a stronger colour and water it down than have a soft colour that has little strength. This pigment is called Cobalt Cerulean in Schmincke and is the same pigment (in a different form) used in the gorgeous DS Cobalt Turquoise.
Where did you get your three-well brush rinse container?
They are available from Dick Blick, Jackson’s art.com, perhaps Amazon.com and perhaps from Chinese brush painting supply shops.
Once again, ultramarine is a cool blue, as purple is a cool color. Green shades are warm, as yellow is a warm color. Think about it!
I prefer to concentrate on the bias of each colour to avoid any confusion about warm and cool colours. However, though we may agree to disagree about warm and cool blues, I have to disagree about greens being warm and purples being cool. Both are made with a warm and a cool colour and both can be either warm or cool depending how much of the warm and how much of the cool colour is in each. A yellow-green will be warm; a blue-green will be cool. A red-purple will be warm, a blue-purple will be cool. Only oranges, being made with two warm colours, can be said to be always warm. (Some warmer, or higher chroma, than others of course - it's all relative.)
Thank you so much for featuring my PB33 🩵🥰
No problem 😊
