Green earth is fantastic in landscape for distant hills and trees, also for greenish tones in skin colours for portraiture as it is sort and subtle. Other applications are the lighter greens in botanical drawing especially in mixes with yellows, greys and peachy tones for stems and veins. Very useful colour.
Green earth is perfect for skin colour, especially for shading around the eyes, under the chin and any area that is supposed to be in shadow. Old masters used it as a under painting or first layer before adding reds to the skin areas.
The only brush that fits in this watercolor set tin is the Winsor and Newton travel brush pen, the one that comes with the Cottman mini palette. Try it! I tried and it worked out fine! 😊
Schachinger in der Josephspitalstraße. Hat praktisch alles, was man so braucht und liegt zentral. Daneben ist ein Sushi-Laden, der ist auch gut. Man kann beides sogar kombinieren: Da man zum Sushi-Essen immer nur eine Hand braucht, hat man die andere zum Malen frei. Im Sommer hat der Laden draußen Sitzplätze; sehr praktisch für Urban-Sketching. Für Bauch (Sushi) und Kopf (Aquarell) ist also gesorgt und die Motive laufen auch kostenlos vorbei. Außerdem ist Freiluftmalen super für neue Bekanntschaften. Sofort ist man im Gespräch. Und zum Nachtisch dann ins Cafe Glockenspiel; schließlich ist München eine Kunststadt.
I prefer to make my own mini-palettes by using small tins, such as: bicycle repair kit tins, lozenger tins, old tobacco tins, souvenir soap tins, etc. I buy the pans (half and/or full) and fix them inside with blu-tak, which allows me to swap them out easily when required. No need to fit a brush inside, as they can be carried easily anyway. I usually have water on me to drink, so no need for a water container, just a collapsible water bowl does the job for me. I definitely prefer metal palette boxes to plastic, but I use both. Schmincke colours are great paints, so can't go wrong with them.
Hmm. I just bought one of these. The cap leaks when you fill it with water. The little cup doesn't sit tightly, the lid doesn't close properly. The colour selection isn't that great and the palette is too small. So I'm thinking of putting it on eBay so some other sucker can have it….
Thanks for noticing! That's so funny because I totally did not see all the other languages. I was looking at it for the first time when I recorded the video and french popped out at me first. I must have been more worried about the focus of the camera than the text. One of the reasons why I wanted to do a close up was so everyone could read it for themselves in case there was something of interest that I did not mention. So, I guess that worked! :)
It’s the perfect green for portraits. It has very low tinting strength and used to be the very first layer in the Middle Ages. Portraitists always started with green earth before adding reds.

Vielen dank für ihren kommentar. Munich is such a great city indeed!

Thanks for the new video, i was waiting for it❤️
Try the Whiskey Painters travel brush, it might fit since the palettes are similar.
Thanks for the tip!
I have this palette and cannot get my schmincke pans to seat flat in the palette box. Is there a trick?
The carmine text is in English, French and German. And you can see that in your video. Did you just not notice it?

No offense but that "green earth" it's a really bad green :/
