The conversation about chronic pain, fibromyalgia and how it can flare because we do our art...thank you! So validating. I appreciate you on many levels. Many continued blessings on your work🙏
So excited that you’ve started a spoonie channel. As an almost 20 year sufferer of fibro and autoimmune issues, I’m always looking for ways to enjoy my relatively new love of watercolor without over exerting and throwing myself into a flair. It’s a delicate walk sometimes. Big hugs.
Oh Denise, this is the most beautiful painting! I hope you will consider putting him on a canvas bag. I LOVE my canvas bag and would like another one with Charlie? Stan? Fred? on it! Love the umbers mixed with the red violet. I think I need to watch the Colors of Nature video again (like I need more paint). They are beautiful. Thanks for your hard work. For me, you should never stress about being late with a video. They are always worth the wait!
I Loved Burned and Raw Umber from the start,though not from all brands. I love the Raw umber from White Nights and the Burnt umber from schmincke. Schmincke's Burnt Umber does not granulate that much making it a really awesome color for mixing base that I LOVE for botanicals.
I lived in Alaska for years and I can verify that Moose are truly magical (and HUUUGE😆) creatures. You've captured their personality and their majesty perfectly---another great video!
He’s amazing, and so are you! I saw my 1st in the wild moose, in South Dakota, some 20-years ago. He was huge! Words can’t describe how large, muscular, and beautiful he was. I can still visualize him in my mind like it was yesterday!
I just discovered this color spotlight series and I love it. I have been venturing into watercolors but I know very little about pigments and such. so this is very useful to me. I am thinking of buying some professional watercolors and this series is really helping me to decide what colors I want to get.
Thanks for the helpful video. I like this format of presentation with all the color mixes already painted since I've seen your mixing method before. It helps to see the color ranges of each mix more clearly while you speak about it.
Well I guess I am not as true a fan as I thought! Unless RUclips is removing my likes and comments! I had to watch as when I was going back through this series I saw this was unmarked! I did not remember the content so I guess I did miss it the first time around! You are so good at this video thing and so informative too! I am still in awe at your expertise with watercolor and video production. Just another thanks to you Denise. Keep doing what you do!
Hi Denise. Thanks for this video. I am trying to decide whether to add raw umber or burnt umber to my limited palate in acrylics. But I also paint mostly in watercolor so this was very helpful. I am interested in your chronic pain management group because I have been living with chronic pain for many many years and it would be interesting to share with other like people. I’m not sure I quite understood how to find that link. Thanks again for another great video. You’re always uplifting and fun to watch.
Fantastic that you have set up a group to support the chronic illness sufferers among your subscribers. Art is a wonderful outlet when faced with daily illness and/ or pain, even if you are only able to watch if you are too ill to be creating yourself. I love your moose and I think Stanley is a fine name for him. Wishing you as many well days as possible. X 😊
WOW, WOW this moose is stunning! You did a fantastic job with the many layers and highlights. I learnt a lot from it! And it helped me appreciate the umber colours, which are not my favourite. Those mixing slides were a revelation. I will have a go with the colours In have to have a first hand appreciation of how the colours work. Thanks for all your hard work on this!
I've been waiting for this one! My favourite earths. :^) Thanks 4 your thorough demo, & beautiful painting. Re. PG8: Shinhan PWC's HookerGrn and SapGrn are both pure PG8, so if you want a bargain version... Re. 'Fibro Fog': My wife has suffered from this almost every morning for many, many months. But recently, she had cranial botox for chronic migraines. It trimmed her migraines to one/third; but really surprised her, by also almost eliminating Fibro Fog! We're over the moon. Cheers, - pbass
I completely get you on the moose thing. I’ve never seen an Aardvark in person (even though I live in an area with Aardvarks and I see their burrows) but I love them so much! I’ve never seen an aye aye in person either and probably never will but they are the best 😍
After watching this video I was inspired to try out raw umber because I don't use it. The only two I had were Winsor and Newton (first one I had which made me not like it) and the Davinci (a tube I bought on clearance and really hadn't tried). I put some of the Davinci (which is like the QOR you showed) in a full pan and tried out some mixes and I LOVE IT!!! Thanks for doing this color spotlight as I will be trying out the Davinci raw umber I have a lot more.
I learned so much--thank you! Tonya at Scratchmade got me hooked on Raw Umber. She does landscape magic with her umbers. I normally prefer red/chocolate browns, too, but she's dragged me to the dark side 🤓
Just curious, is there a reason you didn't have Daniel Smith's Raw Umber in your color lineup at 2:50? Just wondering if you just didn't have it on hand or if you have tried it and don't prefer it or something like that.
i wanted to paint a tapir so i reached to your video again to try to figure out how to use Pbr6 (Mar's Brown) to paint the fur. THANK YOU PS.: they are VERY similar colors but PBr6 have a liitle bit of a black granulation and it's BEAUTIFUL, definitely woth every cent i spent on it.
Just watched again. Have not hallucinated; the Maimeri Burnt Umber I had was really that cool. Mixed with Fr. Ultramarine by W & N, it made the perfect silvery gray I needed for the water on a cloudy day in the Derryveagh Mountains, County Donegal, Ireland. Oops, now I need to replace it because even raw umbers just don't make that same color...P.S. Love the moosicorn!
Denoose. :) Another good video, Denise, and that painting of the moose is truly excellent. Like you, I started with Burnt Umber but have since added Raw Umber to my palette. Burnt Umber and Ultramarine is a really valuable mix. I love it with PV19 also. I haven't used these pigments much recently as I have been exploring mixing browns using quinacridone burnt orange, burnt scarlet and orange pigments.
I’m from northern New England and paint a lot of trees and rocks... raw umber is a staple on my palettes! Also, if there were Stanley stickers I would put them EVERYWHERE.
Thank you for covering both raw & burnt umber. Browns are colors I am not so familiar with, so this was super useful. Loved seeing the color mixes with the two umbers on the same page.
Thanks for the great mixing inspirations for these colours - This pair sadly have sat in my pallet rather unloved... but for mixing the occasional dark - when burnt sienna is just not quite enough. I think my tubes of these are probably about 10-15 years old which will give you an idea of how little I used them. That mix with PV19 got me smacking my chops though, and the PG7 ...Oooo lovely - must try that! p.s. Have been a chronic pain sufferer for about 12 years would be interested in your Spoonies Discord group.
my laptop broke on thursday n then there was a weekend long stag party and im so so exhausted but this was such a treat! i loved every colour you mixed with, bht esp the brick colours from the pyrrol orange just blew me away. also i love moose/meese? so so much theyre the benevolent forest gods we deserve. also im beyond excited for that discord chat, gonna turn those spoons into sporks and take a stab at life! also i didnt know u have ocd as well so im just feeling so informed and cared for at the same time? through a watercolor pigment vid? youre truly magical. ocd spoonies unite, our coat of arms bears the unimoose! again, thank you. im just so happy abt that discord happening...
Doll I feel ya I am A Fibro Warrior and deal with the day to day struggles, Art is an escape for me and at times a struggle but I love it anyway, I am so grateful for the community I have found here on youtube and online groups, best advice for anyone with any chronic illness is to listen to ur body learn from the different levels of activitys u do and how ur body reacts to them it takes time but u can get the hang of it, and yes there are some things we cant understand why they happen to us but thats when we have our community to lean on any way love the video and ur pieces
I was diagnosed with Fibro and started getting into art seriously at almost the exact same time, which was only about a month and a bit ago (I've been struggling with Fibro for about 4 years now though) and I'm only just learning to listen to my body. I lived with my father for 3 of the past 4 years and he always told me I needed to push myself and I was only in pain because I was "fat and lazy" and unfortunately I've continued that mentality and it's a hard thing to unlearn.
Took me a while to give browns some love, but felt in love with PBr6 E-F brown iron oxide from Daniel Smith for the dark, warm brown. Granulates awesomely and has gorgeous chocolatey texture, although mixing the raw umber is always a bit tricky still... I'm leaning towards warm hues though :) raw umber violet looks yummy though! Thanks for the spotlight, it's great help seeing Dominick info jampacked to single place :)
I've always use in my palette Burnt Umber from WN just got the one from DM is a color I would never take out of my palette so useful, but I would love to have the Raw Umber so I have more variety of browns and the Quinacridone Gold mmmm lovely...ok going to go get now you've convince me lol...beauuuuuutiful moose :D
Thank you, very informative video. I find it’s hard to find a good version of these two colors. Earth tone colors are not smt that I love. However it’s an essential to every painting in my opinion
Thanks for yet another great and informative video. I really enjoy watching the color spotlight videos. I think he is most definitely a Stanley. Also, I heard you mention college and was wondering what you studied.
Was it just me or did the links on the video not pop up? The .. cards? Not sure what they're called. Anyways. The only QoR color I own is an umber from your suggestions and it's been a lot of fun getting to know a color I don't use often. Love your color spotlights!
Aaaah, uni-moose is so precious and handsome! I absolutely love them! I need a print of this desperately. 💜 I'm totally not biased because I'm Canadian. Though sadly I've never seen a moose in real life -- the moose is endangered in mainland Nova Scotia, mostly due to poaching. I've only ever seen either mounted heads or taxidermy in museums.
Denise, have you tried the greenish version of Raw Umber? I absolutely adore Raw Umber (the dark-Sepia-like version). It's a lovely neutraliser and I noticed it mixes esp. well with cool colours. But, the greenish version... 😅 I have a tube from ShinHan PWC (simply called Umber) and having a hard time with this colour. It's really opaque and seem to muddy things very quickly, esp. when mixed with other colours. 😥 Such a contrast to the ordinary Raw Umber. Anyway, love Fred! He's looking gorgeous! Esp. love the final RUV wash. 😍
Hi Denise. I hope this finds you well. I'm grateful to you for sharing your wisdom and experience. My name is Laura Vasquez. I've been watching your RUclips channel for over 3 years. I live in Shasta Lake California. I have fibromyalgia, CFS also. I was diagnosed in 2003. I've had a couple of rough years, and haven't painted during that time, and am really trying to pull up my bootstraps.😲 I would like to check Spoonies in hopes for support and encouragement. I'm not sure which name shows on RUclips. More than likely it will be Lady_Loves_Jesus, or Laura V. Many blessings to you ☺️
Wonderful! Do you have a spotlight on yellow ocher? PY43 (Ocher) is also the 1st of natural earth pigment used in caves thousands of years ago. I was reading Wikipedia about it and all the natural earth pigments a while back. The history is fascinating! However my Schmincke Raw Umber is so ugly, I'm ready to toss it. I've had it 10 years and have yet to use it. It looks too much like dog do.
Denise, I'm a huge fan of your channel and I would love to paint some animals. Unfortunately I can't draw at all. Would it be possible for you to post drawings of your subjects so I can teach them? Thank you.
Hi Zlee! Thanks for the kind words. I do some sketching and actually have a dedicated tutorial video over on Patreon. I can also recommend John Muir Laws you've channel or books, or also using copyright free images on Pixabay as reference so that you can practice or even trace them if needed.
'FIBRO FOG': Denise, my wife has suffered from this almost every morning for many, many months. But recently, she had cranial botox for her chronic migraines. It trimmed her migraines to one/third (wow!!); but really surprised her, by also almost eliminating Fibro Fog! We're over the moon. Cheers, - pbass [
Wow, what a find. It's presentations like these that deserve to be shared. Ok Denise, I am counting the number of times that you mention me by name. Of note for the IT geeks, "Raw Umber" has an SEO correlation with hex value #685408. This makes it a good choice for military, biology, theology, and linguistic sciences. It's the evolution of algae in relation to a data robot. It's why your local Jeep dealership talks about bread from heaven. What flavor might Raw Umber taste like Denise? Sugar perhaps.
Nice video but I liked it when you showed footage of you searching...not just the slides of the results from mixing. I do like the slides but I’d like to see the footage too. I know it adds time to the video but I don’t mind and if I can’t watch it all in one sitting I will finish it later when I can. I hope you go back to adding the live footage of you mixing. Take care and hope you’re doing and feeling better!
No... no no no ;.; I'm going to cry in the corner now... But the video was very informative, as always! I like to see the different versions of the same color, so I can choose which one I like most.
Dawww :) I'm glad you like him! I'm really bad about remembering to mention this in videos, but there are preorder prints in my Etsy shop if you're interested! :)
I know what the term “lightfastness” means, but when you phrase it as, “______ is more lightfast” are you saying it’s more likely to fade easily? Or less likely?
As most of you know I am chronic ill, combination of multiple illnesses - is that even a word??! -, muttering around in a disabled scoot :) Any questions on how to deal with that I will happily answer but please ask that on my Facebook. Art is my only escape so Basicly when it comes to yt I am rarely commenting on it: Not much use of having finally found an escape I CAN do when Illness keeps poppingup on yt itself. My FB is both art and union related so do feel free to ask me those questions there :) facebook.com/AafkeVultink
I love earth tones and rich dark browns so much, that when I'm in the kitchen or the bathroom I can't help ooh-ing and awe-ing over the hues of much of what I put in me, and then what comes out of me! :^D lol
The conversation about chronic pain, fibromyalgia and how it can flare because we do our art...thank you! So validating. I appreciate you on many levels. Many continued blessings on your work🙏
So excited that you’ve started a spoonie channel. As an almost 20 year sufferer of fibro and autoimmune issues, I’m always looking for ways to enjoy my relatively new love of watercolor without over exerting and throwing myself into a flair. It’s a delicate walk sometimes. Big hugs.
I've pulled out my back with a yawn before, so this is definitely something close to my heart! I look forward to chatting with you more over there.
I feel like I'm taking a chemistry lesson! Amazing video! It explains the history and uses of both umbers!
That violet / raw umber spectrum is killer! The complementary nature is just gorgeous. Next painting inspiration for me!
Oh Denise, this is the most beautiful painting! I hope you will consider putting him on a canvas bag. I LOVE my canvas bag and would like another one with Charlie? Stan? Fred? on it! Love the umbers mixed with the red violet. I think I need to watch the Colors of Nature video again (like I need more paint). They are beautiful. Thanks for your hard work. For me, you should never stress about being late with a video. They are always worth the wait!
Oh Charlie is a great name too! I will definitely order a few with this handsome guy. I'm so glad you like him!
It was such a joy watching you bring Stanley to life! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge with us.
Wow! Thank you for the lesson. Love your moose!
Outstanding information and picture as usual, thank you thank you thank you.
Thank you as always such great information. Just can’t get over the amount of knowledge you have.

I'm glad it was helpful! I definitely think it looks more clear as well.
Aw, the moose and the song in the end... loved them so much!
Well I guess I am not as true a fan as I thought! Unless RUclips is removing my likes and comments! I had to watch as when I was going back through this series I saw this was unmarked! I did not remember the content so I guess I did miss it the first time around! You are so good at this video thing and so informative too! I am still in awe at your expertise with watercolor and video production. Just another thanks to you Denise. Keep doing what you do!
This clears up my confusion regarding the word Burnt, it lends them a warmer color, Got it! Thanks! Beautiful Uni-Moose!

the painting is amazing woooaaw so nice!!! The moose is such a nice animal, love it when you paint animals
I perked up when you started mixing with Trans. P. Orange! Stanley is very majestic!
I've been waiting for this one! My favourite earths. :^) Thanks 4 your thorough demo, & beautiful painting.
Re. PG8: Shinhan PWC's HookerGrn and SapGrn are both pure PG8, so if you want a bargain version...
Re. 'Fibro Fog': My wife has suffered from this almost every morning for many, many months. But recently, she had cranial botox for chronic migraines. It trimmed her migraines to one/third; but really surprised her, by also almost eliminating Fibro Fog! We're over the moon. Cheers, - pbass
Oh the moose! I love the color umber - thanks for the spotlight video and the painting!
I LOVED watching the last few dark layers go on.
PV23 and PBr7 Burnt Umber is my favorite mix here. It’s the perfect mixture for achieving rich deep dark skin tones. 😍
I thought the same!
You’re right PG8 is very nice color. I’m a big fan of it. White nights have it. It’s listed as dark green. I know it’s fugitive but still love it
I completely get you on the moose thing. I’ve never seen an Aardvark in person (even though I live in an area with Aardvarks and I see their burrows) but I love them so much! I’ve never seen an aye aye in person either and probably never will but they are the best 😍
After watching this video I was inspired to try out raw umber because I don't use it.

Thanks for doing this color spotlight as I will be trying out the Davinci raw umber I have a lot more.
Yay! I always have had a hard time choosing a brown for my palette. Thanks!
So surprised you didn’t feature Daniel Smith’s Raw Umber. My favorite earth tone ever.
Denise, this is a beautiful art piece!
Thank you Melodee!
I LOVE DS' raw umber. It's the only earth color in my palette for the longest time (until now, actually haha).
Very interesting. I haven't worked with the umbers enough. They mix nice with stronger colour paints. And yet another good use for pv19.
Love the uni-moose! Well done! Thanks for sharing!
I learned so much--thank you! Tonya at Scratchmade got me hooked on Raw Umber. She does landscape magic with her umbers. I normally prefer red/chocolate browns, too, but she's dragged me to the dark side 🤓
I'm in the same boat Bekki, haha!
Gorgeous!
Mosseicorn is such a cutie pie.
Best video ever!
Just curious, is there a reason you didn't have Daniel Smith's Raw Umber in your color lineup at 2:50? Just wondering if you just didn't have it on hand or if you have tried it and don't prefer it or something like that.
i wanted to paint a tapir so i reached to your video again to try to figure out how to use Pbr6 (Mar's Brown) to paint the fur. THANK YOU
PS.: they are VERY similar colors but PBr6 have a liitle bit of a black granulation and it's BEAUTIFUL, definitely woth every cent i spent on it.
Yay! Both to tapirs and Pbr6 :)
Just watched again. Have not hallucinated; the Maimeri Burnt Umber I had was really that cool. Mixed with Fr. Ultramarine by W & N, it made the perfect silvery gray I needed for the water on a cloudy day in the Derryveagh Mountains, County Donegal, Ireland. Oops, now I need to replace it because even raw umbers just don't make that same color...P.S. Love the moosicorn!
Denoose. :) Another good video, Denise, and that painting of the moose is truly excellent. Like you, I started with Burnt Umber but have since added Raw Umber to my palette. Burnt Umber and Ultramarine is a really valuable mix. I love it with PV19 also. I haven't used these pigments much recently as I have been exploring mixing browns using quinacridone burnt orange, burnt scarlet and orange pigments.
There are way too many amazing browns and so not enough time to use them all!
I’m from northern New England and paint a lot of trees and rocks... raw umber is a staple on my palettes! Also, if there were Stanley stickers I would put them EVERYWHERE.
Thank you for covering both raw & burnt umber. Browns are colors I am not so familiar with, so this was super useful. Loved seeing the color mixes with the two umbers on the same page.
So sorry it took me a little bit, but I've also linked your channel in the video!
Ahhh I responded to you hours ago but it doesn't appear to have gone through. If you need any help with browns, I gotcha covered girl ;)
aw thank you so much. That's so kind of you.
lol I need all the help in bowns!
Thanks for the great mixing inspirations for these colours - This pair sadly have sat in my pallet rather unloved... but for mixing the occasional dark - when burnt sienna is just not quite enough. I think my tubes of these are probably about 10-15 years old which will give you an idea of how little I used them.

Have been a chronic pain sufferer for about 12 years would be interested in your Spoonies Discord group.
I just love him!! Will he be a patreon tutorial??? He would definitely be lovely as a bag and as a sticker!
hey, if you havnt tried it already, white nights has a PG8. (green) its quite lovely
oh my goodness, he is gorgeous! love this painting, and I'm not even particularly drawn to moose.
my laptop broke on thursday n then there was a weekend long stag party and im so so exhausted but this was such a treat! i loved every colour you mixed with, bht esp the brick colours from the pyrrol orange just blew me away. also i love moose/meese? so so much theyre the benevolent forest gods we deserve. also im beyond excited for that discord chat, gonna turn those spoons into sporks and take a stab at life! also i didnt know u have ocd as well so im just feeling so informed and cared for at the same time? through a watercolor pigment vid? youre truly magical. ocd spoonies unite, our coat of arms bears the unimoose!

If you had to choose between burnt umber vs raw umber for a limited palette, which would you choose?
Took me a while to give browns some love, but felt in love with PBr6 E-F brown iron oxide from Daniel Smith for the dark, warm brown. Granulates awesomely and has gorgeous chocolatey texture, although mixing the raw umber is always a bit tricky still... I'm leaning towards warm hues though :) raw umber violet looks yummy though!

yeah that sounds awesome! I'm a Spoonie too
Thank you, very informative video. I find it’s hard to find a good version of these two colors. Earth tone colors are not smt that I love. However it’s an essential to every painting in my opinion
I hope the comparison of swatches is helpful then!
yes, It is, thank you :)
Totes joining the discord!
Thanks for yet another great and informative video. I really enjoy watching the color spotlight videos. I think he is most definitely a Stanley. Also, I heard you mention college and was wondering what you studied.
Thanks Sharon! I started in zoology and eventually changed majors to psychology focusing on childhood development :)
espoonys! great showcase, burnt umber as always been in my set and I am getting into Vandyke brown, tfs
Thanks Ian! Should I look for you in the discord?
not sure what you mean? sorry
I hadnt seen you in the Discord and didn't know if you wanted to join :) No worries, just want to make sure I didn't miss you.
can you put a link hear for the group thanks
discord.gg/BJ8e4Pq
Was it just me or did the links on the video not pop up? The .. cards? Not sure what they're called.
Anyways. The only QoR color I own is an umber from your suggestions and it's been a lot of fun getting to know a color I don't use often. Love your color spotlights!
They haven't been added yet. I was up super late editing and went to sleep before it was done. Will add them when I can.
Aaaah, uni-moose is so precious and handsome! I absolutely love them! I need a print of this desperately. 💜 I'm totally not biased because I'm Canadian. Though sadly I've never seen a moose in real life -- the moose is endangered in mainland Nova Scotia, mostly due to poaching. I've only ever seen either mounted heads or taxidermy in museums.
Yesterday I learned how to make burnt sienna with raw umber and warm red, so I'll be getting raw umber but not burnt sienna
Lovely moose!
Thanks April :)
Spoonies unite!
Denise, have you tried the greenish version of Raw Umber? I absolutely adore Raw Umber (the dark-Sepia-like version). It's a lovely neutraliser and I noticed it mixes esp. well with cool colours.
But, the greenish version... 😅
I have a tube from ShinHan PWC (simply called Umber) and having a hard time with this colour. It's really opaque and seem to muddy things very quickly, esp. when mixed with other colours. 😥 Such a contrast to the ordinary Raw Umber.
Anyway, love Fred! He's looking gorgeous! Esp. love the final RUV wash. 😍
Hi Denise. I hope this finds you well. I'm grateful to you for sharing your wisdom and experience.
My name is Laura Vasquez. I've been watching your RUclips channel for over 3 years. I live in Shasta Lake California.
I have fibromyalgia, CFS also. I was diagnosed in 2003. I've had a couple of rough years, and haven't painted during that time, and am really trying to pull up my bootstraps.😲 I would like to check Spoonies in hopes for support and encouragement. I'm not sure which name shows on RUclips. More than likely it will be Lady_Loves_Jesus, or Laura V.
Many blessings to you ☺️
Wonderful! Do you have a spotlight on yellow ocher? PY43 (Ocher) is also the 1st of natural earth pigment used in caves thousands of years ago. I was reading Wikipedia about it and all the natural earth pigments a while back. The history is fascinating! However my Schmincke Raw Umber is so ugly, I'm ready to toss it.

Look! It's Sam Winchester!
Sorry, I had to. Great informative video!
😂😂😂😍😍😍
I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought that and had a giggle to myself.
Denise, I'm a huge fan of your channel and I would love to paint some animals. Unfortunately I can't draw at all. Would it be possible for you to post drawings of your subjects so I can teach them? Thank you.
Hi Zlee! Thanks for the kind words. I do some sketching and actually have a dedicated tutorial video over on Patreon. I can also recommend John Muir Laws you've channel or books, or also using copyright free images on Pixabay as reference so that you can practice or even trace them if needed.
'FIBRO FOG': Denise, my wife has suffered from this almost every morning for many, many months. But recently, she had cranial botox for her chronic migraines. It trimmed her migraines to one/third (wow!!); but really surprised her, by also almost eliminating Fibro Fog! We're over the moon. Cheers, - pbass [
Mooses are cute animals
I just tried to join but I’m not sure if I did it correctly. I don’t see anything else within the Spoonies. 😊
Hmm, I don't see you in there. Perhaps try again?
In Liquid Color okay I will right now
I just tried again and still the same thing
Unfortunately I'm newer to Discord as well. I'm not sure how to help. Perhaps some others can lend advise?
Do you have an account?
Wow, what a find. It's presentations like these that deserve to be shared. Ok Denise, I am counting the number of times that you mention me by name. Of note for the IT geeks, "Raw Umber" has an SEO correlation with hex value #685408. This makes it a good choice for military, biology, theology, and linguistic sciences. It's the evolution of algae in relation to a data robot. It's why your local Jeep dealership talks about bread from heaven. What flavor might Raw Umber taste like Denise? Sugar perhaps.
I absolutely love this but the first minute gave me flashbacks to chem >:
Nice video but I liked it when you showed footage of you searching...not just the slides of the results from mixing. I do like the slides but I’d like to see the footage too. I know it adds time to the video but I don’t mind and if I can’t watch it all in one sitting I will finish it later when I can. I hope you go back to adding the live footage of you mixing. Take care and hope you’re doing and feeling better!
This was just for this episode :)
No... no no no ;.; I'm going to cry in the corner now...
But the video was very informative, as always! I like to see the different versions of the same color, so I can choose which one I like most.
Just joined you on Discord! I am CreativeMama22 on IG and there too!
Awesome Heather! Thanks for connecting the dots for me.
This moose... Is my new best friend. Absolutely gorgeous
Dawww :) I'm glad you like him! I'm really bad about remembering to mention this in videos, but there are preorder prints in my Etsy shop if you're interested! :)
Umber is originally from Umbria, Italy, not from Turkey
Never heard of colors of nature water color. Nothing comes up when googled. Nothing on etsy. So what's with??????????
They went out of business.
I know what the term “lightfastness” means, but when you phrase it as, “______ is more lightfast” are you saying it’s more likely to fade easily? Or less likely?
More lightfast = less likely to fade

As most of you know I am chronic ill, combination of multiple illnesses - is that even a word??! -, muttering around in a disabled scoot :) Any questions on how to deal with that I will happily answer but please ask that on my Facebook. Art is my only escape so Basicly when it comes to yt I am rarely commenting on it: Not much use of having finally found an escape I CAN do when Illness keeps poppingup on yt itself. My FB is both art and union related so do feel free to ask me those questions there :) facebook.com/AafkeVultink
For some reason, umber reminds me of either poop or chocolate.
I love earth tones and rich dark browns so much, that when I'm in the kitchen or the bathroom I can't help ooh-ing and awe-ing over the hues of much of what I put in me, and then what comes out of me! :^D lol
