you are the reason i got obsessed with daniel smith watercolors
Hehe, same here!
Can’t wait to see the Auckland videos!
Oh the agony of indecision when it comes to picking colours! I’ve been packing my art kit for a month in Greece, going in May. Enjoy the USK in Auckland; I grew up there so I’ll be very curious to see where you end up going for the sketches! 😊 It seems like the anthra scarlet discontinuation was a false alarm, lol.
Let me help you with your indecision! Bring with you a lot of Cobalt blue and Phthalo blue RS. These are the two blues that you are going to need if you intent to sketch in Greece. Greetings from Athens Greece
@@creativecolours2022 I have gone with Phthalo Blue GS, lol! Plus a bunch of other blues and turquoises for the islands. Hopefully the weather's good! We'll be arriving in Athens in a few weeks' time, yay! 😆
@@BeckyTregear The weather will be fine. You are going to come at the best possible period because the summer months are very hot and very crowdy as well.
Don't forget to bring with you a hat, good quality sun glasses and a high spf sunblock creme but also a jacket because the nights are a bit chilly during May particularly at the islands.
If you need any information for art supply stores in Athens or anything else that you might need just tell me.
Which islands do you plan to visit?
I love your mixing videos! I was obsessed years ago when I started watching your channel, and I’m still obsessed till this day🤩
Cool that you are coming to Auckland. Your videos all really helped me start getting into the hobby.
Have a great trip! It’s always fun to make your own palette 😊
Interesting how and why you choose colors. Knowing your paints makes sense. I could never have my paintbox so dirty 😂 It made me chuckle.
Have a great trip!
A colour that I always have is Cobalt turquoise pb28, the one I have if from White nights since that is available here. It has beautiful granulation, mixes very interesting grays, lilacs and greens, it brings me a lot of joy
aaaand this Cobalt turquoise pb28 mixes into very nice blue, when mixed with strong violet, gives nice hue, when mixed with dusk black by VG, nice gray when mixed with perylene violet, and fine misty greyish-something with pr108 cadmium red...along with cerulean blue pb35 its one of my fav colors, but there are 36 of my fav colors, so no limited palettes😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My dining room table is an explosion of paint tubes and palettes. So hard to choose! Will be nice to meet you in person Teoh after watching your videos for so long.
Have a nice trip!
Ah, a mind is a terrible thing to make up, especially when one has so many excellent choices! Hopefully, picking a scene to paint will not be as difficult. Looking forward to your work in New Zealand. -OkieSketcher1949
Have an awesome time at the symposium!! Picking colors for a trip is always so 'hard' even when I know it will be *fine* and may be a good opportunity to test out unexplored mixes. Also, I don't know why it never occurred to me that I could refill a pan before it was completely empty (>.
Azo Orange and Ultramarine Blue from M Graham are my favorite to mix. The gray I get can be a good dark blue gray for things like roof shingles or car tires. If I add more water it’s the perfect color for sidewalks and pavement.
Try the M Graham Transparent Orange Iron Oxide, you won't be disappointed! It's my favorite for similar reasons. Mixes up fantastic browns and oranges, and can be used super transparent for that perfect glowing sunlight.
This 12 pan portable painter palette works well for my sketches in a local park. I have a 15 pan palette in a mint tin that I like better for travel, but a mint tin isn't great for plein air.
Primary Yellow, Sennelier
Isoindoline Yellow, Daniel Smith (this washes out to a gorgeous pale peach, my #1 must have color)
Scarlet Lake, Winsor & Newton
Quinacridone Red, M. Graham
Helios Purple, Sennelier
Manganese Blue Deep Extra, Old Holland
Turquoise, MG
Prussian Blue, MG
Green Apatite Genuine, DS
Transparent Red Iron Oxide, MG
Payne’s Gray, MG
Sepia, MG
Have a great time!
Thank you for the video , I’m getting excited for your trip , best wishes and safe travel 😊 ( I remember when you went to Amsterdam 🔥 , it was very hot that time )
First video is up on the Urban Sketchers RUclips channel
this might sound a little strange but i always love how dirty your palettes are. they truly look so loved!
That AZO yellow looks so different to my Daniel Smith Nickel AZO. Looks like brighter in the half pan. Even squiggly clean, mine looks always a bit dirt or murky…
Azo Yellow and Nickel Azo Yellow are different. Azo Yellow is a very vibrant clean and pure yellow. Nickel Azo Yellow is "murky" for a lack of better word to describe. lol
I love alizarin crimson for the tree stem and branches. Also french ultramarine and burnt Amber. I have purchased recently a Azo deep yellow and i don’t really like it. Have a nice trip.
I was so sad to see sap green go. I know you can mix green with your color choices, but I always love sap in my palette. I will try the deep cobalt boy and perm brown in my next travel palette. Thanks
Sap green is a great convenience color!
I have to have French ultramarine, burnt sienna. Cobalt blue , quin rose, a lemon yellow and medium transparent yellow. Pyrrole red and transparent pyrrole orange and Paynes grey. Everything else is negotiable depending on rhe subject.❤
Beautiful set of colours in both palettes! Maybe you'll get to try out some Art Spectrum and Derivan watercolours. They're made in Australia. Enjoy your trip to NZ! I'm very old fashioned when it comes to palette colours. I only have 3 colours, red, blue and yellow, in warm and cool tones, no black, no white. This is what I look for, if I'm buying a set of paints, whether it is acrylic or watercolours. They are my must have colours, from these I can mix a lot of colours.
Yes! A split primary palette.
My must have colors:
Quinacridone rose
Permanent Lemon Yellow
Permanent Red
Prusian Blue
Sap Green
Yellow Ochre
Burt Sienna
Burnt Umber
And if I still have space, a nice violet and a shimmery watercolor
You have access to many art supplies and sketchbooks in Singapore, that people in Australia can't get at all, or have to pay high shipping for. I bet you could make some extra money if you were able to bring some supplies with you to sell.
Recovering Soul, I think that it would need an extra case to take them in - and as you see, Teoh likes to travel just with a back pack. Also, what he would pay at Customs for taking it in would possibly outweigh what he could sell them for. If he took them in as for his own use and sold them, that's called smuggling, and is not a good idea.
There's also a very big chance (I don't actually know) that there would be major exhibitors at the convention selling their art products at 'show-discount' prices.
@@MrsBarnabas oh really? I didn't know that, customs and stuff. Thanks
@@recoveringsoul755 Glad to help - may save you some bother, too, if you should go travelling. It's an understandable and kind idea, though. 😊
We (my husband and I) have travelled a lot, and in some places, we had to sign for our cameras, etc at the border as we went in, and account for them as we left!!! Usually, goods are declared on a form on the plane, but some places are mega-strict! 😊
@@MrsBarnabas Oh my!!
When you get back from your trip can you do a video on deep cleaning your palettes..? 😂
I don't really deep clean my palettes. The cleanest is shown at the start of the palette. If you mean the bottom side of the pans, I just leave them alone. lol
Thank you for the useful video. I applied to participate in your workshop at Urbansketch Festa 2023 in Gyeongju. I wonder if you will bring the same color as the video when you come to Gyeongju. Thank you always for your good reviews and videos.
I'll be using this other palette instead. I'll talk about that palette in the course in Gyeongju. instagram.com/p/CrFFpfnvr0q/

@@teohyc Thank you very much for your kind reply. I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the workshop.😍
Great color selection! Cobalt blue deep is a favorite of mine for its beautiful strong granulation. What lens did you use to film the extreme closeup at 10:35?
Olympus 12-50mm lens on Panasonic GH4
What brand of cobalt blue deep do you prefer?
Your colour selection depends on the place that you are going to visit. As I've said below to Becky Tregear that she intents to visit Greece, you can't sketch in Greece if you don't have a lot of blues and some very specific blue colours with you. I can't give though any advice about New Zealand.
Your palette boxes need some very good cleaning. Mystery solved! That is how you get mold in your paints. From all these sticky half wet colours that are there under your colour pans. So take an old toothbrush and plenty of toothpaste, put all your boxes under running water and make sure that you will remove all these sticky slime from your palettes.
I wish you to have a great time at the symposium. :)
I think the reason that he gets mould is the climate of Singapore. I heard other Singaporean watercolour artist complain of the same thing. The air is just very humid all the time and things don’t fully dry out or at least not very quickly.
You don’t need to have a clean palette to create great art. That paint that has overflowed isn’t dirty, it’s just paint.
@@sophiewinkler7549 Singapore has indeed a very humid environment ( and that is part of the problem )and I totally agree with you that you don't need a clean palette in order to make great art, but you definitely need a clean palette if you want to make mold free art.
Teoh has already complained multiple times at his videos about finding mold even into his sketchbooks. And that overflowed paint that stays wet underneath the pans, at this nice for mold dark and super wet environment, is probably the reason why Teoh can't get rid permanently of mold all that time. It grows there, in the perfect conditions multiplies and then is transferred everywhere with the painting brushes. It is not after all that the mold spores are visible or they start become smelly immediately.
So washing well all of his palette boxes and scrapping the top of the filled pans under running water and then dry everything well before reassemble it, is a good first step to deal with this problem. Because this paint might not be literally dirty but is probably contaminated. And I'm not the one that claims that. It is the sketchbooks the evidence for that and Teoh who freaks out when he sees his beautiful sketchbooks ruined this way.
Anyway.. a bit of cleaning won't harm.
You don't wash your palette? 😅
What's a cheaper alternative to Daniel Smith's? My pockets don't run that deep lol
Davinci watercolor, White nights watercolor, Roman szmals watercolor, and mghram watercolor
What is the pigment in Azo Yellow?
PY151
@@teohyc Thanks!
Is cobalt blue deep now called cobalt blue? or is it the ds tube or winsor one?
They are different colours, different pigments. And you should go with pigment code which us more accurate
@@teohyc thank you. how do I know which code it is? I looked up online and it said pb74. Is that the same code for all/most brands? And which is the brand you use for cobalt blue deep?
@@bnp2bnpPB74 is Cobalt Blue Deep
@@teohyc okay, thank you!
May I know why you don't use paints from one brand? I'm a beginner. Thank you
It's okay to mix and match. Certain colours with same name or same pigment code may look different across different brands. The brands I use are paints I can replace easily from local art shops.
@@teohyc Could you help me by giving some advice? I'm a beginner and want to invest in good brand. In my location, I can buy Daniel Smith easily but it's pricey, others brand I can buy easily but at lower price are White Nights, Holbein and Rembrandt. Could you give me some suggestions which brand I should invest in regarding the quality of the paint? Thank you so much
@@nuniauliya6105 Holbein is good. White Nights tubes is not suitable for squeezing into pans because they don't dry hard enough. Not sure about Rembrandt because I've not used that brand before.
@@teohyc you have very high humidity where you live. Do you think those paints would dry harder in a lower humidity location?
@@recoveringsoul755 That I am not sure. Anyway, you can get Holbein. It's good so there will be no problems with drying.
Just take a lot of colors😅
I am OK that not everyone has clean pans, but I admit it pains me to watch you fill pans over the dirty top layers! I want to jump in there and say "here, let me just clean the top of those for you real quick!"
Omg, I’m not clean freak but it’s giving me stress watching him with that messy palette.
@@seamsofasoul Watch some videos of Liron Yanconsky, he uses an extremely dirty palette, but getting beautiful results with it.
@@PaulaBean I do watch him! That color chaos is part of his "theory;" he mentions it frequently!
