Thanks for the effort you have put into this historic report of artists' pigments and their development. I've often wondered about the various origins.
Thank you for this art class! 🙏🏻 I wish I had this lecture at school 20 years ago. It makes me look different at my pigments/paint as well as art. I understand now why some artists work like Van Gogh's or Italian fresco's needed "colour" restoration (they didn't have money for the expensive pigment) and Vermeer did have the opportunity to use expensive pigments like Ultramarines. That's why the girl with the pearl earring is still that pretty. I actually live within 5 miles from that painting and I've never seen it. Now I have to go to
I really enjoy your video! I was looking out there about the names of the colors, and you were the only one a found!! Thank you for take your time to teach!
I think it's important also to mention that Cadmium is toxic and could cause health issues. Cadmium is linked to an increased risk for cancer and kidney and liver afflictions. Many artists nowadays avoid using true Cadmium paints. Sometimes they get substituted by nontoxic paints with "Cadmium HUE" in the name.
@@adriannamarszal Yes, I noticed that last week (I think it was the Jackson's Art site). I do like it better, because it is definitely much clearer now, yet still let's you know it's the cadmium yellow or cadmium red and not other colors. It is strange for W&N as one of the reputable brands not to release the pigment info, hmm....
This was a fun video to watch for the history and trivia behind the development of paint pigments. I would suggest a simplified explanation of the strange names that many pigments have. If I were trying to help someone understand why the names seems so mystifying, I'd simple point to the fact that many of those long names are simply chemical names. They're really just names of the chemicals that make up the specific pigments and have those specific color properties; that's all. The reason they seem so long and complicated is that every chemical has a unique name. While we know many people share the same names, and many cities, pets, etc. have the same name, it wouldn't be useful to have two different chemicals with the same name. Interestingly, most of those long names are what would be called a "common name" to a chemist, and the proper names of those chemicals would be even longer. For example (my personal favorite) "phthalo" is short for "Phthalocyanine" which is the common name for a chemical with a proper name of "(29H,31H-phthalocyaninato(2−)-N29,N30,N31,N32)copper(II)." And you thought "phthalo" was odd. ;-)
Really interesting. Came here because [as a total beginner] I was completely confused by all the different scientific sounding names on paints. Thank you - this helps a great deal.
Thanks for putting this together, very interesting. I was overwhelmed with all of these strange names when I took my recent art class. Felt like a bunch of pharmaceutical names. I still don’t feel like I can visualize all of the color hues upon hearing the name but learning the history behind them helps! Thanks!
Thank you for that beautiful video! Was just planning to make one in Norwegian, hmm a lot off knowledge you have there, I will wait its complicated, a lot to learn, again thank you!!!
So much good information!! This was a really nice refresher on pigments. I'm a sucker for phthalo blue and greens (wish you covered them in depth) and quinacridone reds & alizarin crimson. I also shop at Jerry's! I'm lucky enough to live within driving distance of one. They're selection really is nice :)
Thanks for the tip on Jerry's little thing you click for the pigments! Didn't notice that before. Buying paint now and was having to Google each one to find out the pigments.
i had an allergy test that said i am allergic to phenylenediamine and wonder if any watercolor paints are made of it as thalo blue long form sounds similar
Very well presented video, with great content. I would recommend though that you invest in a quality microphone and check your cameras focus. If it wasn't for these two things this would have been a great video! Thanks
Hello loved the video and very informative! I'm still new acrylic painting. Im also on a limited income so getting all these different colors like dioxazine purple, quinacridone,phthalo cadmium etc colors I cant afford them all right now. Is there any chart that would help me get as close to one of those colors by mixing what I have mostly basic colors. I plan on buying more when they go on sale again. Michaels had a great sale so I was able to buy about eight of them. Thank You!!
Jane Blundell teaches how to mix triads, and bc she bases it on single pigments, her methods can be applied to acrylics, gouache, oil, tempera, casein, etc.
I love pigments and stuff like this so I watched everything...but fyi your presentation is dull (really sorry for being blunt). Again I love this stuff, but I feel like I'm in a community college art class. For future reference do the research, but please script your videos and cut some stuff out, not everything needs to be said in a video for the passer by like myself.
I feel more like I'm in a special education art class. The valley girl behavior and side comments like "I'm SO glad we don't use cow piss because, like, EWW" or "it's like, a total bummer" and the way you wave and smack your hands around makes you come across as really ditzy and well, dumb, to put it bluntly. Sorry for being so harsh, I'm sure you're a perfectly nice lady, but it made the video incredibly irritating to watch.
Wow. Always so awkward and uncomfortable when a woman (or are you a child? Your comment was that immature I really should ask) loses her self control with jealousy. Reading your comment was like watching clowns. Embarrassing. Would you prefer every 2nd word she says be F&^K or sh*%? God forbid someone speak with politeness and manners right!? Also God forbid someone spend hours of their day recording and uploading videos to try and assist BEGINNERS with their art free of charge huh!? Fuckwits like you are just so happy inside to think you may have made someone better than you feel bad in a day though huh? What an existance. I pity you Honey. Go find your moral compass and some class while youre at it Honestly weak petty jealous people like yourself make me ashamed to be a woman. PS. Before you even try a smart ass remark, my profile picture is my dog. I know you'd probably go there. Youre that pathetic so I saved you some time. Your'e welcome. Don't bother replying either. I don't have time for worthless shits like you.
***Newsflash*** Online art videos aren't created to revolve solely around you. Go and find another one if its not your style. Pigments - The Quest For Excitement. Good luck with that asshole.
@@kaseycheetham1824 in my defense I recall watching this late at night which is likely when I made the comment. Additionally I ALSO make art videos for beginners, so I feel like I at least have one leg to stand on. I might have been blunt but at least I didn't swear at this poor women like you just did to me, geez.
Although I can appreciate the history of the difference in the names, this video was way to off base for me. This was way to much information I couldn't finish watching. Just wanted to know the difference not all the extra stuff. Maybe think of changing your title and adding history in it
Actually, Egyptian blue is NOT lapis lazuli, it was one of the first known synthetically produced pigments. The Egyptian name for it is literally translated to "artificial lapis lazuli". It is and was created with a combination of silica, lime, copper, and an alkali. Loving research is one thing, being proficient, another.
Idk if this will be useful to you, but when I have trouble understanding people talking too fast on RUclips videos I just set the playback speed slower. Helps a lot!

Thank you for consolidating all of this. Now when i look at my paints i see more. So much history and effort by so many people!
I think so too! Paint history is very fascinating! :)

or cadmium-free, like in the (relatively) new paints from W&N! although many are suspicious about them not releasing pigment info on these 🤔

I like geeking out on pigment info, too. This is such a cool video. Great research! Thank you!
Love how you make things easy to understand. Learned a lot here. Thanks!! :-)
Aw, thank you so much! So nice to hear! :D
You are so wonderful for putting this video together and sharing it:) Great info!
I appreciate the info & research- as far as the toxic scares- ‘don’t eat the paint” LOL 😝 😂
Wow, amazing class!!! thanks a lot!!!
Thank you for the great channel. I learned a lot

I'm so jealous!! I wish we had them on the west coast. Although, I'd go broke in one excursion!
@@DevynSamara Honestly, it's so easy to overspend there!! But I really hope they open more locations out west :D
Thanks so much for making this video. Wish I'd known what all these names meant before I started buying oils lol

Very informative and interesting too, thank you.
You're so welcome! I'm glad you liked it! :)
Excellent information Devyn and l could listen to you all day. :)
Hey, Peter! :D So glad you liked it! Thank you!
Thank you so much 😊

Very informative. Thank you!
great video thanks, I definately learnt something that will help with my painting and my pigment picking!
Very interesting and informative. Thanks for the research.

Thank you, this has really helped me today!
I see you’ve not posted a video for a year. I don’t know where you went, but you did a lovely job!
I will be back! Life has been so hectic and hasn't left me any time for filming, but I do intend to return! :) Thank you for your kind words!
Good video. Thank you for sharing.
Great information!
Quidonkadonk!
You explained really well, really loved it and your voice too... 😊😊😊But I would like to know which book are you reading in the vedio?? 😅
Доброе утро !

too much unimportant info
you are too fast in talking
Idk if this will be useful to you, but when I have trouble understanding people talking too fast on RUclips videos I just set the playback speed slower. Helps a lot!
Lmao I had to increase the speed cause she talks a bit slow
