Love these colour triad videos. I'm trying to make some colour choices ready for a new palette and it helps to see what kind of mixes the different primary options can generate. Thanks Teoh!
I'm always inspired by the loose freshness of your work - continued in your painting. But while it appears light and easy, you are highly focused at what you're doing.The impulsive nature of your colour choices creates the dynamic tension. Another great lesson!
Thank you! This triad approach to color mixing is thoughtful and informative. I've learned so much from your videos (and am a Daniel Smith covert thanks to you!)
Teoh Yi Chie The 6color essential set (3 cool 3 warm) from your previous video and the large size 3 primary set you announced as a great price. I ordered the full dot card recently (dangerous for my wallet!). Ordered 3 perfect pallets as gifts and 3 mini palettes from your friend 🖌🌊 Hansa light & med, new gamboge, fr ultramarine blue & phthalo blue, Quinacridone red & rose, Cadmium red. Hard colors for me to mix include deep chroma colors such as deep violet, dark brown and black (but I'm learning more pigment helps)
Great video! It's really neat to see what you can do with a limited palette. I use same little colour-wheels like you do to test paints. However I really like your method of actually painting a sketch too - it seems to bring out more properties and subtleties than just the charts. Thank you - very interesting!
Hi Teoh. I still have yet to make the Daniel Smith leap, but each review/demo you present, I come one step closer. I'm just afraid that once I do commit, I might go broke! lol!! Thanks for another wonderful video! Cheers! :)
Good video and great choice 👍🏻 I use oils and so far this is the best limited palette I came up with and they're available in student series also. A very wide gamut and really vibrant. But one limitation of this palette (for oil) is that they are also very transparent however this makes them also good choice for glazing. The orange is a bit muted but I haven't stuck in that portion yet. I tried pr122 but it was a huge failure compared to pv19.
I enjoy watching these limited palette videos of Daniel Smith paints. I love using them, and seeing the wide variety of mixes. I recently acquired cerulean blue chromium, and the granulation is wonderful. When you did the vertical line of mixes on the left page, the bottom color made me think of Shadow Violet. Thanks for making this video!
Great video and helpful too. ^_^ Thanks Teoh. I posted a comment in your channel's Discussion section about what I bought at the art store. I didn't want to post it here and distract from your limited palette video.
Loved this limited palette! I honestly love lemon yellow and phthalo blue 💗 I actually think this is my favorite from the limites palettes Ive seen in your channel!
Hi Teoh! Prima is coming out with another watercolor palette called "Odyssey" coming soon! it has a lot of warn natural tones that look great for fall paintings! Do you think you can do a review on it if you can get one! I really like it, but I like your reviews since they're so thorough, it would nice to hear your thoughts on it once it's released. Thanks!
Teoh, I love your videos. They are so educational. As a newbie, I would just love to know what 5 colors I could but in a small Altoid's tin to get the widest color pallet for "on the go" practice painting. Any suggestions? I have about 50 DS colors, White Night, Turner's, and I have the 36 Mission Gold Set on the way. I think I have overloaded myself with options. LOL
+Inside Kim's World That's a lot of colours you have there 🤣 You can choose any three primary. Look at the secondaries they can mix. If orange, purple or green is dull, then add a brighter version of that secondary to your palette. Last colour, you could go for a different red or blue, or an earth tone. There are so many possibilities.
I loooooove vibrant colors. That palette looks amazing! And I like that the "black" would be that deep blue. Definetly my first artist watercolors will be the Essentials of Daniel Smith. When I first attempted to start watercolors I got the Cotman 12 set with waterbrush and didn't work as I expected. I mean... I did watercolors on university (CYM by Ecoline) and this time the colors I was expecting to get didn't came so well... instead I usually got chalky colors. I didn't understand what was going on, was it me? Aaaand at last I learnt that when the color is purest is easier to control the mixtures. It's a shame I didn't know that earlier but whatever, it only costed 10€. I also got the Kuretake 14 set and I guess some colors are more vibrant than Cotman but I also get chalky mixtures. Btw on November it will also arrive the Viviva colors which I'm starving to try =D Your videos are great and so the blog ^^
There are might be some impurities or unnecessary filler that's inside the paints that cause them to appear chalky. Kuretake does appear chalky so it's no unusual.
change the red into PR122 Magenta and yellow into Azo yellow, and it's my favorite limited palette. shame that I have to use 3 different brands to get that CMY equivalent palette though...
About the CMY palette, it's not exactly the "best" palette actually. It's still a limited palette so it will have its limitations as well. For example, Azo Yellow is not as bright as Lemon Yellow, and can't be added to anything to reach the shade of Lemon Yellow. But that does not mean that a palette with Lemon Yellow is the "best" because Lemon Yellow won't be able to create the brightest warm orange with red. A limited palette, well, is limited. The make your palette versatile, it's best to include more variations of primary colours. E.g. 3 sets of primary colours is more versatile than 2, and 2 is more versatile than 1.
the 3 I mentioned make clean full range of hue and nicely neutralize each other to make gray-black tints, but having even the most balanced CMY primaries is indeed way too inconvenient to be of anything versatile, even if they make clean secondary-tertiary colors. Cyan : DS Phthalo blue GS, Magenta : Kusakabe Magenta(PV122+BV10), Yellow : Van Gogh Azo Yellow light. note: Kusakabe's Magenta has same pigment names as to some Opera, but it's more on the PV122 than the brightener BV10 load it seems. it isn't anything better, or even practical as it is educational to know which limited palette yields the cleanest possible hue mixes for the least number of paints. clean, non-granulating purple is the hardest to get somehow, so, I'd even try fugitive pigment, but not so much into fluorescent ones, on the search, I managed to have that alluring CMY palette to try on, and it's a fun rainbow from just 3 ;D
It depends which Azo Yellow we're talking about. If it's DS Azo Yellow, I have doubts because, usually, Benzimidazolone Yellow is demonstrably brighter than Benzimidazolone Lemon. I can't say that with absolute certainty about DS Azo Yellow though, because I've never used it.
Hi Teoh! I really like your style of sketching. I really like how you use untraditional colors for skin tones and that it still turns out good! I’ve been interested in getting a small set of watercolors. What would you recommend?

HI Teoh, I am thinking of buying a set of Daniel Smith watercolours, which do you recommend for my first purchase? Love your videos and will be becoming a patron on patreon soon!
I recently found your channel and have come to really enjoy presentations. I know I am going to learn a lot from your videos. I need your advice. I am new to water color and color in general. Daniel Smith is out of my price range. I need a good student grade to low cost professional watercolors in cool and warm blue, red and yellow watercolors. Can you suggest some colors please. Also, a good white and black. This will be my palette so I can learn how to mix colors and develop my skills with colors in general. Thank you.
I learn a lot from these videos. They show me how to explore my current colors more instead of buying more colors. Thank you.

This is a lot more useful triad than what they sell as a primary triad na? 😄

silshasubando I do the same too! I use this palette in oil and gouache painting! it works really well.
I like the Daniel Smith triad of: Nickel Azo Yellow, Quinacridone Rose, and Phtholo Blue (GS) for a CMY triad.

I’d use deep yellow. It’s still possible to mix a cool and a warm yellow I’m sorry , i was able to , that orange is a

I haven't started using them yet. Too many paints to use right now. But I will use them soon.
