If you are a beginner in watercolor, I recommend you limit the colors on your palette. You can start with a warm and cool red:
1. Warm: Pyrrol Scarlet (or similar)
2. Cool: Quinacridone Rose (or similar)
You might want to also add a "middle" red to the set:
3. Middle: Pyrrol Red (or similar)
All of the colors discussed in this video have the following qualities:
1. Single pigment colors
2. Professional (Artist) grade colors
3. High Lightfastness Rating

Appreciate that you include the pigment names with each color!Excellent review. : )
You are so welcome!
Reds are also my weakness they are all gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
Love the colour you picked. I couldn't live without Alizarin Crimson.
It's so good!
Lovely!! I need to pick up that Quin Lilac. Thank you for sharing
You're welcome. Enjoy that color!!
Loved this, so helpful as I’m building my colours. I love mixing but I’m a colour addict. It’s like food, there aren’t enough days to eat all the flavours and there aren’t enough days to paint using so many colours, especially traditional watercolour, its literally painting with tinted water. Thankyou, my favourite visual pastimes as you may have gleaned are cooking shows and painting vids.
Haha!! I agree! Thanks so much for watching and leaving feedback. I too am a color addict. I find it fascinating to swatch and compare all the colors. And there are so many colors to explore. Have a great day!
Once learned yellow’s & many colors can be cool, warm or mid!
Thank you for videos like these as “medium beginner” and love any color but know don’t need 7 yellows!
Also do acrylics & those pretty colors just call your name 😊!
Least not buying super expensive “sports car” so it’s ok!
This was very helpful‼I was having a different time finding a red that I liked. Now I know what to try‼❤
Wonderful!! :-)
I am learning so much from you! I love how you keep it simple and easy to understand.
Wow. Thanks for the feedback. That is nice to hear.
I have been paying for a long time but mostly landscapes with the same pallet choices. Been looking for some experimental upgrades so loving these videos . It's good to see the colours and the choices artists make in their selection
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching and leaving feedback.
Great idea to swatch paints in this way, especially when you already have too many and are getting lost a bit - like me!
I just bought a new Alizarin Crimson today, Schmincke Horadam brand, it's a beautiful paint for a cool red. I bought it to replace my depleated tube of the Alizarin Crimson by Art Creation.
I like the Naphthamide Maroon by Daniel Smith that you have chosen here. DS make wonderful highly pigmented paints in general. .
Thanks for the feedback, Mark. Naphthamide Maroon is a unique color. I love it.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio your recommendations make good sense. If only I had watched this video when I began my watercolour journey in 2019!
I recently bought a wonderful orangey red Daniel Smith paint: Mayan Orange. It's a stunning colour which I think you would like.
I've started using smaller sets of paints, sometimes just 8 maximum: 3 primaries, 4 secondaries and 2 neutrals. It's helping learn more about colour mixing and values.
I've also got a slightly bigger pallete that is set up similar to your recommendations here, with a warm and cool of each primary, a couple of mid-tomes, some earth colours and some neutrals.
But I still have lots of individual paints of lower quality brands like Van Gogh and Art Creation. However, they have their uses, and bit by bit they are getting used. I just wish I had waited and saved the money to by fewer, but much better quality paints.
I've heard good things about Mayan Orange. I may have to look into that one. Thanks.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your info about “ reds”. It helps me so much to put together a meaningful palette. Decision-making is so hard because of all the available paints out there. Thank you for sharing your expertise.😊
You are so welcome!
Great video!!! Can you do this kind of video for all the primary colors and maybe secondary colors too? So informative, thank you for sharing❤💜💙
You can find these videos on my channel. Here is one that shows all my yellow colors: ruclips.net/video/SopLHfCsJCs/видео.html and here are all my blues: ruclips.net/video/3tv40hdXf2s/видео.html Enjoy!!
Very helpful! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I always learn so much from you and this session on reds is so helpful
Wonderful! :-) Thanks for leaving a comment.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. Have a great day. 😀
Thank you!! This is wonderful information.
You are so welcome!
Very informative, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent explanation! Thank you! 😊 🫶
You're very welcome!
I love your channel!
Thank you so much!
Awesome! Glad I watch your channel. I picked up 5 of the ones you mentioned here if Quin. magenta, and Quin. red count. And I also ordered a Holbein Opera. It never ends does it? LOL
Trying out new colors is part of the journey!! Have fun 😁
My favorites (reds)as a fellow artist are quinacridone coral(DaVinci ‘s pigment looks the same also), DS pyrrol scarlet, pyrrol crimson, alizarin crimson (pv19 DaVinci), Sennelier ‘s Rose Madder Lake PV19- it does not dull down like Daniel Smith’s quinacridone rose, I use quinacridone magenta, Perylene Violet and Perylene Maroon. I keep my cool and warm reds separated and don’t have the need for a middle red because a warm one and a cool one = a neutral. I mix my own purples with the blues whether granulating or non granulating. Although I have a transparent red/ orange it isn’t on the palette because azo yellow mixes well along with the deep Hansa yellow ,which is more lightfast than the light Hansa to make an orange. The thing one enjoys painting dictates the palette. I enjoy florals as well as landscapes so my home palette contains the most colors. I love golden ochres and ultramarine violet which mixes well with a little red ultramarine to make a lavender watered down without the need to add white gouache. There are so many mixes to make lovely browns with the Perylene family and a tube goes a long way. Oh I have do have straight up Quinacridone violet PV19 that way I can spike my quin rose or what I use Rose Madder Lake and turn it into quinacridone Lilac just that simple. My tube of quin violet and ultramarine violet stay in a tube unless I need to spike a mix from my palette. For many years I have figured and worked out “hacks” to save money and update my color theory to great colors with no shame on admitting how little I pay. There are many colors that are honestly redundant but sell but if one really does their homework and just doesn’t buy what another artist might like then you will be really content with your palette.😊
Thanks for sharing this detailed and helpful information. Have a great day!!
@@KrisDeBruineStudio Thank you! Happy painting! :)
You too!! :-)
Than you! Thank you!
You're welcome
Helpful, thanks!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching
A red I quite like and is not in your list is the earthy PR101. Goes by different names, in my set it's called english red.
Ooooh. Interesting. I just looked up the Daniel Smith version. It looks almost brown. It is lightfast, granulating and transparent. My favorite pigment qualities. Thanks for sharing. Here's the DS version - amzn.to/3uljuos
I agree with you on most of these choices. I think we are very similar and won’t be like but I did have a couple of other reds that I’ve featured on my channel that you may want to check out your beautiful
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback.
Нуу... мне нравится ультрамарин, кадмий оранжевый, изоиндалион жёлтый, киноварь, пурпурный хинакридон, а так мне больше по душе сочитания например:
Красный хинакридон и бирюзовый фц
Сиреневый и золотистая тёмная
Английская красная и кадмий оранжевый
Кадмий жёлтый и бордо
Thank you for sharing your color palette. Once I translated it from Russian....I was glad to read your long list of colors. :-) Thanks for watching, leaving a comment and being part of this growing community of watercolor artists.
I'm desperately trying to find a swatch video on Geranium Lake, the pigments are PR 149, 166, and 170. The paint is Grumbacher Academy, they do have all their color blocks on their sight, but sometimes the colors are a bit lighter than the actual color in person, and that's why I need to see a demo on it. Would you be able to help me? 😕
Hi Dora. I actually don't have that color in my studio. In fact, I don't own any Grumbacher Academy paints. So...unfortunately, I don't think I can be of any assistance. Maybe your local art store can be of assistance. Have a great day.
Thanks for this great video. I don’t use many reds, so this was informative. I love your apron. Can I ask where you found it?
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Yes!! I love this apron. I found it on Amazon here: amzn.to/3vh5bjx It is made of heavy canvas and has tons of pockets.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio thanks so much!
Curious, would Naphthamide Maroon made good purples? It looks slightly brown/grey and I worry it would make a muddy color. Definitely putting Quin Lilac on my next list to buy (in 6 months as I just got my new colors this weekend).
I have an entire video devoted to Naphthamide Maroon. In this video, I mix it with eleven other colors. This should help. Take a look at: ruclips.net/video/MOF4DZj07FA/видео.html
@@KrisDeBruineStudio oh thanks! Off to watch now.
Great!! Hope it helps.
Have you used claret pr12 ? Its also a shade of red.
Hi. Thanks for the question. No, actually I haven't heard of it. I took a quick look at the handprint.com online reference and it is not listed there. Then I found a listing on Dr Kano's website here: otokano.com/colors-by-pigment/pigment-red/#PR12 It is beautiful -- more of a magenta, I would say.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio from what I know it's deep red. PR 12 it seems is fugitive. But have not used this colour, so I wanted to know if artists have found this colour useful or not.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio Thanks for reply though 👍
