I love alternative primaries, and I always enjoy watching what you do with paint. Thank you, Teoh, for always sharing your knowledge and experimentation with us.
I love watching you paint. You make it look so easy, but looking at it closely you see just how how skilled you are and at depicting perspective and tonal variations in all the right area.
Beautiful Teoh! I recently purchased Monte Amiata thanks to this video, it has such a gorgeous glow to it and it's a great substitute for those who dislike the opacity of yellow ochre, tfs!
Óbidos! I've been a fan of your channel for ages and suddenly seeing my grandma's place was kinda weird, you have to go there sometime, no matter what time of the year there's always plain air painters from all around the world it's such a tiny creative environment you would love it!
You just make me discover that with a hint of red in green was darker green. I thought we'd rather some kind of brown. Thanks for this still very interesting video Teoh !
So interesting to watch you paint and mix colors, and how quickly you go! (yes, i know you speed up the video, but still, you go fast!) There was one point near the end as you were daubing on the shadows that i'd thought you'd gone way overboard and messed the whole thing up but then it was perfect when it all dried. Thank you for your generous sharing of knowledge, technique, and your calm, friendly manner :-)
I'm curious. How long did it take you before you made the "jump" into Daniel Smith paints? I'm envious you have a seller nearby, as my only access is online. I admit, I have never used DS paints, as I've got too many sets (M.Graham, Schmincke, etc) that I prefer to use before bringing new paints in. As for the video, these colors are wonderful and as always, you provide such a rich, vibrant presentation with great close-up visuals... not sure if you're aware of how great that is for a viewer! Thank you and cheers! :)
I know I'm not Teoh, but hoping to help as the three you mentioned are my top three favorite brands. DS were actually the first professional paints I tried, which may have been a mistake for my wallet :p however MGraham and Schmincke are my runner ups. They're all fantastic and I go to them for different reasons. Daniel Smith for texture and luminosity, MGraham for vibrancy and saturation, and Schmincke for silky soft colors :)
Hi ILC! Thank you for chiming in! I'm fairly new to making videos, and just subscribed to your channel! Clearly, you've got a lot of experience and information to share, so I'm excited to dig into your videos and share in your insight! I try to bring something a little different to the RUclips table, so I'm also looking forward to learning from your approach to videos/editing and such, as well! Believe it or not, I've been laying out all my paints lately when I work. As an illustrator, I'm afforded the luxury of my clients not caring about lightfastness or pigment info - they only care how the piece looks in print or on their site. So, a few recent pieces combine W&Newton, MGraham, Prima Confections, and Schmincke, all in one piece. The reason is because when i work, sometimes convenience colors are just faster than mixing, and I have such a broad palette to choose from this way. It's not typical, mind you. Just new. Thank you again and glad to connect! Cheers! :)
+M.D. Campbell I started using Daniel Smith when I was provided several sample tubes for testing by a local shop. Their quality is good. But it would be difficult for me to differentiate them from artist grade watercolour from other brands. Most artist grade paints are of equivalent quality in my opinion.
Great video! I use a similar triad often, but use Prussian instead of Indanthrone. MA Raw Sienna is one of my "everyday" colors--absolutely love it. I had never mixed it with the PG36 and loved that mix. Thanks again!
How timely! I just got to try a tiny sample of the Monte Amiata after wondering about it for years. I'm looking forward to adding it to my palette once I run out of yellow ochre.
‘Glue to the chameleon’ hehe. I really like that yellow shade phthalocyanine green looks very useful. Subtitles on YT are hilarious, I just discovered. I like some of those weird mixes in this selection of colours some would make great deep skin tones.
I love the colors! Again, thanks for the video and thanks for introducing these colors. I just might have to order some new DS paints now... Too bad they have to be ordered from abroad :(
A fotografia é do meu país, reconheci-a logo que a vi. Chama-se Vila de Óbidos e é em Portugal, provavelmente o país mais seguro da Europa e dos mais bonitos do Mundo inteiro. Tem que o vir visitar Obrigada
Goodness, Organic Vermilion looks vibrant. Any idea how the hue compares to WN Cadmium Scarlet? I've always been under the impression that Naphthol Scarlet's a little redder than WN Cad Scarlet, but seeing it here, now I'm not so sure.
Yeah, I know. Lightfastness II is still very good, and it's absolutely suitable for professional work. I wouldn't hesitate to use it if it met my hue requirements. Anyway, you should try cadmium scarlet sometime if you can get a hold of it; it's my favorite cadmium color, by far.
2 of the colors used in this palette were 2 of the secondary colors in the CMY palette , Indanthrone Blue (PB60) and Phthalocyanine Green (Yellow Shade) (PG36)
Both are good. Yellow Ochre is more yellow and very nice and quicker for painting light yellow subjects which are difficult to paint with diluted yellow paint.
+PositivelyNice Place is somewhere in Portugal. Not sure where. It was drawn from a reference photo. Here is the source www.flickr.com/photos/mfmarcelo/35578182144
+Big C It was a very quick sketch. Maybe half and hour. The shapes are not too complicated and I only drew on one page so it is not that time consuming. You can start anywhere. But have in mind what you want to contain in the scene before drawing, and also keep that in mind while drawing. That way you can fit everything in.
Teoh Yi Chie Thanks for the advice and answer. I am not too bad at perspective but you summed up my problem the scale i.e. Planning what and how to fit in. Practice practice practice and keep watching you. I watch The mind of watercolor and owings art, they both complimented your channel, so its good that the people I follow are following each other I should be doing something correct.😉😁👍
Hi Teoh. My wife and I watch all your videos all the time. I have watched unbelieveable amounts of art-related videos on YT in many media and your videos are some of the best on YT. We are really big fans. I must say though that this adding of 20 seconds of black at the end of your videos so that us cattle can add to your overall watch time in your youtube stats is getting increasingly frustrating. You might want to rethink it. Thx.
Wow. That is weird. We never see video links and we have watched on iipads (both on safari and youtube app), iphone, mac, mbp, and apple tv YT app. Thank you very much for explaining. I hope the links get worked out. Best to you.
Mhhh there is a face in the first blue color chart! Creepy! (I'm reading Stephen King's IT, for the second time in my life...I think it's conditioning me too much!) :D
That sienna fom Daniel Smith may find a way to may palette, my natural sienna from Rembrandt it's difficult to dissolve. Nice view of Óbidos village! 😊
Note that Organic Vermilion is not totally lightfast.
Oh, this was your introduction to Monte Amiata Natural Sienna! I know you love that one. :)
I love alternative primaries, and I always enjoy watching what you do with paint. Thank you, Teoh, for always sharing your knowledge and experimentation with us.
I love watching you paint. You make it look so easy, but looking at it closely you see just how how skilled you are and at depicting perspective and tonal variations in all the right area.
That Sienna is lovely looking - going on my Wish List. Daniel Smith has so many lovely looking colours, hard to narrow down choices.
Beautiful Teoh! I recently purchased Monte Amiata thanks to this video, it has such a gorgeous glow to it and it's a great substitute for those who dislike the opacity of yellow ochre, tfs!

you are my favorite watercolor artist,
+nancy durrett Thank you 🤗
Lovely, Teoh. I really like your style of drawing and painting. Thanks!
+Gina Doyle Thanks 😁
Indanthrone blue has a regular place on my palettes because it has such a great range of intensity! Sienna color.... Hmmmm..... Tempting.....
Such a nice limited palette! I wouldn't have gone for some of them individually, but all together they make up something really nice! :)
Those are very pretty colours and I love the final sketch. Thanks for the video :)
You just make me discover that with a hint of red in green was darker green. I thought we'd rather some kind of brown. Thanks for this still very interesting video Teoh !
Interesting names for the colours! Mainly the sienna!
I've always enjoyed your videos. I trust your impressions.
Such a surprise to see Óbidos on you channel! Love watching your videos. Come visit Portugal, we have amazing locations to sketch.
Love to visit Portugal one day
Awesomeness Teoh thank you! Love the granulated colors and your painting came out great.
Wow thats a wonderful Siena. Very vibrant
Back to watercolors 🌟 Yes! 😁 *_Thanks_* *_Teoh_*
That Indanthrone blue is gorgeous! Thanks for this review Teoh, I think I'll get one!
So interesting to watch you paint and mix colors, and how quickly you go! (yes, i know you speed up the video, but still, you go fast!) There was one point near the end as you were daubing on the shadows that i'd thought you'd gone way overboard and messed the whole thing up but then it was perfect when it all dried. Thank you for your generous sharing of knowledge, technique, and your calm, friendly manner :-)
+zeldacheri It is all about experimentation. Mistakes help you learn more too.
Great colors! Wonderful painting! I love Daniel Smith watercolors, but I especially love the watercolor sticks.
Do you feel the sticks are a better bang for your buck?
Mary Algar I don't know which is more economical but the sticks are really convenient.
I'm curious. How long did it take you before you made the "jump" into Daniel Smith paints? I'm envious you have a seller nearby, as my only access is online. I admit, I have never used DS paints, as I've got too many sets (M.Graham, Schmincke, etc) that I prefer to use before bringing new paints in.

Gorgeous color combination!
How timely! I just got to try a tiny sample of the Monte Amiata after wondering about it for years. I'm looking forward to adding it to my palette once I run out of yellow ochre.
I will be purchasing all of these with the exception of organic vermillion as i have a lot of red watercolors. thank you for this video
Excellent watercolours!
‘Glue to the chameleon’ hehe. I really like that yellow shade phthalocyanine green looks very useful. Subtitles on YT are hilarious, I just discovered. I like some of those weird mixes in this selection of colours some would make great deep skin tones.
I have that organic vermillion. Loved your videos.
Monte Amiate Natural Sienna is a wonderful mixer
I love the colors! Again, thanks for the video and thanks for introducing these colors. I just might have to order some new DS paints now... Too bad they have to be ordered from abroad :(

I've not used WN Cadmium Scarlet before. Note that Organic Vermilion isn't totally lightfast. ASTM rating is II instead of I.
Yeah, I know. Lightfastness II is still very good, and it's absolutely suitable for professional work. I wouldn't hesitate to use it if it met my hue requirements.
Anyway, you should try cadmium scarlet sometime if you can get a hold of it; it's my favorite cadmium color, by far.
Wow, that's nice.

Hi! Is the quinacridone shown in this video also from Daniel Smith?
+Lila Vibomi Yes, also from Daniel Smith.
Such a nice sketch! Do you suggest that ds yellow ochre can be replaced with Monte Amiata natural sienna?
Both are good. Yellow Ochre is more yellow and very nice and quicker for painting light yellow subjects which are difficult to paint with diluted yellow paint.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks so much for your reply! Then i would stick my yellow ochre! 🙏😊
How does the organic vermilion compare to transparent pyroll orange?
Hi Teoh,
May I know the name of the place you went to please? I can't catch it after repeats. Sorry it was a bit muffled.
+PositivelyNice Place is somewhere in Portugal. Not sure where. It was drawn from a reference photo. Here is the source www.flickr.com/photos/mfmarcelo/35578182144
Can you show us your current paltte?
This is my current palette ruclips.net/video/idYpHUgmj3k/видео.html
Teoh Yi Chie do you still use the same colors? Or did you change some colors?
Can you please do an update
I don't really have a fixed palette. Currently, I'm using Daniel Smith and Mission Gold. I just use whatever the colours that I have at the moment.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks for replying is the mission Gold any good? How about sennelier watercolor are they good? Thanks
Where do you buy Daniel smith paints?
+Min Draws stuff I bought in Singapore from Arters SG and Straits Art. You can find Daniel Smith online.
Teoh Yi Chie where in online amazon or ebay?
You can find them on Amazon amzn.to/2vzaJXP
How long did the sketch take before the paint, I would struggle knowing where to begin.
+Big C It was a very quick sketch. Maybe half and hour. The shapes are not too complicated and I only drew on one page so it is not that time consuming. You can start anywhere. But have in mind what you want to contain in the scene before drawing, and also keep that in mind while drawing. That way you can fit everything in.

Ecoline watercolor review
What paper did you use for your sketch of the rooftops?
I cannot remember what's the paper
vermillion is fugitive colour
+billy gates Yeah, unfortunately it is fugitive. I like this colour but i guess might have to switch to Transparent Pyrrole Orange

Thanks. The black screen at the back should have 4 big rectangles that link to other related videos. Unfortunately sometimes they do not show up.
Wow. That is weird. We never see video links and we have watched on iipads (both on safari and youtube app), iphone, mac, mbp, and apple tv YT app. Thank you very much for explaining. I hope the links get worked out. Best to you.
promise me if you marry someday your wedding suit will be new gamboge colored
you will probably love this color more than your girlfriend....
So it's not the real poisonous vermillion, it's the fake one.
Mhhh there is a face in the first blue color chart! Creepy! (I'm reading Stephen King's IT, for the second time in my life...I think it's conditioning me too much!) :D
