I'd love to see a video in the future on how you create your mixing pages. They're so pretty. 🙂 Maybe if you end up adding new colors to your palette, you could take us along as you test them with mixes..
I LOVE This idea, Kari!! I have some new colors I got over the last year that I think would be great candidates for the pages :) Adding it to my to-make content list!!!
Indian red and yellow are named after the country of India, where those particular pigments are mined. It's the same as colors like English red, where the pigments are aquired from England.
thanks for the note! While I learned more about the pigment names since these videos were made, I still do with that the paint manufactures would change out the name, as the country of origin connection is not well known for a lot of folks (myself included until I did the research for these videos!)
@@artofhiking you should check out the video by CGP Grey 'Indian or Native American'. While your sentiment is understandable, it could also be viewed as speaking for another group of which you are not a part.
Hello 👋🏼. Actually, Indian Yellow was not mined in India. It is said (but it is still debatable) that Indian Yellow came from the urine of cows in India fed on mango leaves. Some sources say camels. Not sure how much of this is true, but you will come across it in many, many reputable sources.
Thank you so much for the series. I loved seeing all the colors it was very helpful 💜💜 I would love to see a video of your sketchbook with the mixed watercolors it was sooo beautiful 😍 (25:17)
thank you for the note, I appreciate it! And I want to make more of those pages, they are so very relaxing. I'm thinking I might film some of them, as I've had some other folks who were interested in those as well! You're providing some good inspiration to work on that sooner rather than later!
Thanks for sharing your swatching, and I love your mixing sheets, very useful way of showing how pigments work together! You might want to put a little water on the dots and wait a minute then use a soft brush to pick up paint, a stiff brush isn't ideal. I've never had an issue with DS dot cards. Indian Yellow refers to the country India, not Native Americans, but I'd also prefer paint manufacturers use descriptive names for colors that don't use countries, people or other names that could be viewed as pejorative despite being classic/traditional names of the pigments.
Thank you for watching, and for the great tip about the drop of water! I always forget about that, as I'm often painting outside and don't want to make my palette too wet, but it would have been just the thing for this project! And, you articulate perfectly the wish for more descriptive names.
34:38 Strictly speaking, DS should have said, “Mayan pigments are derived from the chemistry of Ancient Mayan pigments,” rather than from ancient Mayan chemistry. The only pigment I am aware of that the Ancient Maya synthesised is the Mayan Blue or Mayan Indigo, but I am open to correction. Basically, it is Indigo, but what is so special about it is that it does not fade. I am not sure what the chemistry behind it is, but I understand that clay is involved and maybe heat.
27:13 If you like DS Quin Gold, which is a mix of pigments, you might enjoy Rembrandt's Quinacridone Orange (PO48) which is very similar in hue. This pigment has been discontinued (as was the iriginal Quin Gold PO49) so now it is a good time to check it out.
thank you for the tip! I have the DS quinacridone burnt orange, which I think is the same pigment, and I love it so much! Especially for desert paintings. I may have bought 5 spare tubes :)
Oh wow! I also want to order that dot card

Agreed. Please show us how you do the mixing pages
The New Gamboge pigment mix is PY97 + PY110, which is Hansa yellow medium + Permanent yellow deep :)

Thank you for the color swatching and mixing charts. Good information to know. I'll be referring back to these videos. Thanks again.
:)))) I still look back at the dot cards and the pages of colors, too, when I hear about a color and want to remember what I thought about it.

'Indian' does not refer to the amercan indigenous people, but rather to the country India.
