I am an eldering (such a nicer word than ‘old’) woman in my 70’s and I’m so glad you make these very interesting and informative videos. I am learning so much by watching and taking notes on your tutorials. I’m working my way through them all and getting better with my watercolors. Thank you and please keep up the excellent descriptions.
You are very welcome, we are all eldering I think!
Lol im eldering also...lol like that word...many art blessings to you today...
Oh yeah, me too at 71!
I'm not even eldering but I read this as Elden Ring... we can all see where my brain is!
But I learnt from my grandmother (who basically raised me!) that age has very little to do with what you can accomplish and enjoy (a very positive lesson for me). I'm so happy to see comments from people who really embody that lesson!
Also, thanks Michele! Your tutorials are a lot more accessible than a lot of the ones available. You also have a really nice soothing way of communicating.
Quin Rose is really one of my favourites.
Me, too, Cheryl, but I'm 85, and I love watching these tutorials. I get a chance to try out the colors AND the new methods I see. And, loving the granulating Moonglow and Lunar black!
Sound is "good enough" imo. Perfectly understandable, no back ground noise.
And after all, we are painting here, not playing music😉
Good job, I am tone deaf!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber And btw great vid (my only "but" is that I don't need more temptations to buy art supplies, desperately trying for a limited palette...🤣)
I discovered that indanthrene blue with some light red and a touch of orange makes a nice silvery grey. I also like using indanthrene in the sky though it’s a little muted compared to other choices I suppose.
I’ve been working on portraits and I use nickel titanate yellow and quinacridone rose for skin tones. Also, my favorite gray comes from mixing perylene violet with perylene green.
They are so useful, aren't they? :-)
By explaining how a color is used really adds to my knowledge
Please do more of these
I love quin rose!
Sound is perfect. I love Winsor Naples Yellow. It doesn’t turn green in skies when it mixes with blue.
Wow I must try that 🙏
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I agree with SJL. I've only found two Naples Yellow that do not contain yellow pigment....Winsor Newton and Turner. It's like yellow ocher's shy little sister, lol
@@OhJodi69 Maimeriblu's Naples Yellow Medium uses PBr24 as well
I have several Naples Yellows….Winsor and Newton’s is the softest and doesn’t make green when mixes with blue
Thank you for the tip. I am very careful when I put yellow in skies. I will try my WN Naples yellow, which, luckily, is the one I have. That said, I've seen green skies. Right before a derecho or tornado here in the US Great Lakes region.
I enjoyed your video. You had me thinking about colours and I concluded that all colours are beautiful. We are so lucky to have colour vision.
So true!
Thanks for another superb video. I'm really glad that you brought up how even a single pigment can look different. It something I became aware of not too long ago with PBr7. Thanks again.
Most of my young life I called my favorite color, “swimming pool blue,” but I recently found out that is actually manganese blue, used to tint cement pools💁🏼♀️
Ahhh, that makes sense!
Is that anything like Pepto bismul pink?
Well, I spent most of my life calling two types of green "toad green" and "grass green"...
@@sheilalopez3983 titanium with opera pink or tbh any quinacridone pinkish color with orange.
@@keepyourshoesathedoor Thank you, I'll try it.
"Good enough to eat." I started my journey with oil paints as a teen, and I often said that. Sometimes I didn't want to paint, just mix creamy bight colors!
Apparently it's not advisable... Who knew?!
Ha, ha! I had to lose some weight per Drs. orders. I filled that space with buying, mixing, and painting with watercolors. It worked and I lost the weight. I've gotten decent at watercolor painting, so now it's a maintenance diet. Colors fill a hunger for me. I know someone who went on a guitar diet sucessfully. Every time she was hungry, she picked up her guitar.
I love all the perylene colors. I love moody muted colors. I also find mixing a little PBk 11 (lunar black or mars black) gives lovely granulation and brings down the chroma. Just a touch though,don’t overdo.
Nice tip.
Audio is fine, clear and distinct.
Nickel titanate yellow is also perfect for painting yellow columbines, which as a Coloradan I appreciate.
Absolutely FABULOUS advice on these colours. I totally agree. Love those colours.
Ultra Marine is one of my favorites 💗
Audio is great here in Texas, U.S.of A., thru WiFi on my Amazon Kindle fire-10 device , on the Video for RUclips APP....whew! .out of breath!!
You're a very pleasant, proficient and professional instructor. Thank you for generously sharing your talent and time.
My pleasure!
This was very informative and interesting. Thank you for showing us these colors. I've put a couple in my wish list.
Thanks for watching!
I find your thoughts on colors so interesting. Thank you.❤
Thank you because these shouldn't be disregarded. Great information.
Thanks for watching!
Terrific tutorial, thank you.
I went and ordered my first paints from Jackman's based on this video. They looked amazing in the video.
That's great, I know you will love them!
Love the discussion of different colo(u)rs! I am going to try the Perylene Violet, since I've been using a lot of violet in my paintings lately. I have Perylene Maroon and Perylene green/black. They are great colors. So easy to make distant evergreens with this color. Like your tip of mixing it with Payne's Grey. Agree with you about the Chromium Green being a great color. Interesting fact: The D.Smith Manganese blue will glow under UV light. Other Manganese Blue colors won't. They do make a lovely version of it. Thanks for the video.
I hear you clearly and understand all! NO PROBLEM😂
I have 2 sepias. Schmincke's and Aquafine's I use all the time. The yellow and the green look amazing. Thanks for the very informative video.
Thank you for showing us these colors. I especially love that yellow.
You are very welcome 🙂
Lots of these colors are so useful in portraiture! I like using English red as a portrait underpainting since it’s so staining and warm. Perylene violet makes beautiful browns when mixed with the yellows or light greens, and raw umber can make a nice blond tone
They really are, aren't they?!
Marvellous - many thanks.
As usual: thoroughly informative and enjoyable. I learn so much from listening to your "thinking" process.
Sound is perfect. Thank you for your always clear, concise tutorials.
You're very welcome!
It might be interesting someday, if you took us on a tour of one of the paint manufacturers that send you samples, and if you spoke to some of their technical staff. Good advertising for them so they should be willing to fund it. It sounds like quite a fascinating subject.
That’s just if they are still made in your country, of course. I think everything here is made overseas these days. Something about exchange rates and “managed economies”.
Good idea!
Yes!! I love this idea! Do they do one pigment a day in bulk or have several going at once? What does QC lab look like? Do they use spectroscopy to match lots? Do they have watercolor in one area and acrylics somewhere else? Ooo do they grind a pigment in a big batch and divide between watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastels, etc. wow, I am so intrigued!!! I hope you can do!!
Brenda Shields reply about pigment grain size, what other things are done to make same pigment different like burnt umber/raw umber, is it really burnt? I’m a medical lab med tech, that’s why all the questions, so cool! I’ve read a lot about the pigments and watch Denise Soden religiously, but seeing a demo in a factory how different pigments are made would be so neat!! I’m sure this is all proprietary but wow to see a swimming pool of swimming pool blue!!!
Thanks Michele. I love these colors and use them frequently 🥰
Glad you like them!
I love this sophisticated pigment content! Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoy it!
I'm so glad you made this video and also that I watched it. Very helpful to me. I appreciate your clarification of the subtleties of these colors and I will be adding some to my palette now that I understand their usefulness. Thanks
I'm so glad!
Your sound is fine…good volume and clear speaking. IMO no problem. I appreciate this information! Excellent!
I like that ultramarine green shade. I really don't like Fr.Ultramarine in skies, maybe high elevation alpine skies but not for typical English skyscapes. I like the idea of a none cobalt alternative to cobalt blue that could be my main mid blue. I bet it mixes better greens too. The only reds I use in my palette is light red / red oxide as my warm red and quinacridone magenta as my cool I find them more natural. I've had a tube of cadmium red for probably 5 years and barely touched it. It comes out once in a blue for splattering poppies and thats it. I do find Naples Yellow quite useful, in evening skylines, it behaves well wet in wet with cobalt blue, as long as you let it do it's thing, they tend to avoid mixing and generally grey into each other rather than producing green and Naples yellow tends to stay where you put it. It mixes great skin tones too mixed with a touch light red.
I will save this video. Learning so much from all your videos. Thank you for your generosity in teaching. Appreciate it very much. Sound quality is fine this end.
I love this video which I find very motivating. I have some of these colours and will add others to my Christmas list! You have given me some great ideas on how to use them. I think I need a size 10 round brush too!
This is such a nice and useful video! Thank you! As for the hues, I was also told, that Naples yellow can be used also for winter sky, since the light in winter is rather muted. I went for it and I was very happy with the result. I love the idea of using it for primeroses!:)
I just opened a tube of DS Napthamide Maroon tonight and when I swatched it I basically swooned. Very sublime pigment with good movement, very close to Perylene Violet. I also really love many of the Green Gold shades. Subtle but bright...
Thanks greatly Michele for taking the time to share an intreguing video on colours, enjoyed the video as you explained how you're able to use these colours to create amazing mixes. Greatly appreciating stay safe and healthy
Thanks, Philip.
I love the sepia colour.
Thank you for fabulous information on colours and their uses. First time I have tuned in, but I will definitely be tuning in again.
Thanks JoAnn so glad you liked it 😊
Just watched again, took copious notes, and OMGOSH, I have to have that Perylene Violet!! Among others. 😊 Such great info about color mixing; thank you so very much!! Donna
Thanks Michele. I have many of the colors you mentioned and most of them I really don't use much, so I found this video helpful and I am eager to pay a bit more attention to the potentials of the colors you shared today. The one exception for me was Sepia. I use Sepia all the time. Even though its a darker color, it somehow just seems to work in so many different situations. It seems like it enhances other colors without detracting from them while adding a nice contrast . I hate to hear that some people may be rude or argumentative with you. There is no cause for that and people really need to get a life lol. I appreciate you.
Thanks so much ☺️
Very helpful,thanks.
I seen so many colors here i already consider core colors haha
Though, if i need a deep blue, I'll find a blue leaning Paynes grey my favorite color (if i remember correctly daniel Smith's version is blue leaning, the paul Rubens was too. I remember van Gogh's being more like a charcoaly dusk grey)
Fantastic video as usual Michele, and no problem with sound, in fact I'd never noticed one previously. Obviously I'm so engrossed in the useful information that you so kindly give us on a regular basis that I was too busy enjoying the video 😊 I have a couple of those colours you mentioned, and I love my Sepia, it's so versatile, just like Paynes Grey 😉, they both come in very handy. I rather like the look of the Naples Yellow, and the various Oxide colours you mentioned. The muted Green would be a great addition to my collection. I think it's time I made some more colour charts 🤔. Thanks again for your valuable time and support. Take care 🤗💕x
No probs, thanks for watching :-)
Thank you for a helpful and informative video. I appreciate your description of how to use the colours in a painting. Your presentation of sepia and raw umber appealed to me the most in this video though I learned from all of it.
Thank you so much!
This video just showed up in my feed and I watched because I was curious. I love that you explain why a single pigment paint can vary so much in appearance (from different makers) depending on pigment grind and binders. I was wondering about this phenomenon! I consider myself perhaps an intermediate to advanced beginner in painting. I think I’ll subscribe- there is a lot to learn!
Thanks for subscribing Gerrie, I appreciate it!
Once again a great video
Thanks for the informative demo.
Thanks for another great video! I already discovered and LOVE Naples Yellow and Chrome Oxide Green!!! They "balance" so many of my colors, I can't imagine not having them in my pallette.
I have so many colors like that :-)
I find the mixing videos very helpful. Especially with regards to the manufacurers' formula and blue shade or red shade paints to predict the outcome of the mix.
Glad you like them!
Oh, what an informative video! I really appreciate your explanations and recommendations on possible usages. This helps so much in deciding on colors to add to my palette.
I'm so glad!
thank you Michele. very interesting and useful.
You are so welcome!
Thank you Michele!
Any time!
Learned new mixes thank you.ill watch this over again, take notes and make swatches
Have fun!
Fantastic suggestions! I agree about Raw Umber. I remember as a child not wanting to use the warm brown crayon that was always in the box because tree trunks were a cool brown! Raw Umber is a staple in my palette!
So true!
I've not yet become acquainted with most of the colors spoken about, but have ultra marine and umber. I especially enjoyed learning about the latter's uses. Cerulean Blue is my go to for clear skies (probably because all my instruction books usually call for it), but I'll look into getting the manganese blue you spoke of--I like that "shade" (😉) very much. Thanks, Helen!
Fascinating. Very good information. Take notes. Swatch your colors.
Thank you!
Thanks so much for the explanation for differences in the same numbered pigments.
Glad it was helpful!
I could hear you perfectly, good job, thank you.
,
I'm always surprised when folks don't use either a quinacridone rose PV19 or a magenta PR122--they are so important for mixing! I'm already a huge fan of nickel titanate--great to see it get some press! Chrome oxide green is the most gorgeous and natural green, so soft and lovely. Perylene violet mixed with perylene green makes absolutely gorgeous darks and blacks. I love the mix of raw umber and payne's grey--what a beautiful mix! Fantastic video. Thank you. No problems with the audio here. I'd save your pennies and keep using your phone as is.
Thank you!
Thank you, Michelle. Very comprehensive demo.
Glad it was helpful!
Sound is perfect. Loved this video. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lots of great information. Thank you 😊
Great video! I have many of these (and true, rarely use some of them), but I've discovered a couple of new colours through your video. And love your tips for where and how to use them in a painting. Also, the audio sounds totally fine to me. 😊
Wonderful!
Another exceptional video! Amazing to see colors I haven't thought of or even heard of to be so beautiful!
Thankyou!🙂👍💖
Glad you enjoyed it
Sound just right, Michelle! And as I am finalizing my new color palette, this is a valuable
subject for me! Thanks! Hugs!
(And I really appreciate not having to go down the pigment rabbit hole!)
No problem, Peggy :-)
Very helpful, and the sound was great!
Thanks so much ☺️
I am binge watching so many of your videos. 🥴 Thank you for your tutorials! 🧑🏻🎨🎨🥰
You are very welcome!
Thanks for all your hard work making these interesting and informative videos! I love Chromium Oxide Green. Use it obsessively for the grey greens of Australian gum leaves. It darkens beautifully with cadmium red or ultramarine. Mixed with cerulean, you'll get such beautiful soft blue-greens that take your breath away!
Great tip, sounds very exotic!
Very interesting, thank you.
You really don’t deserve rude comments from people who are just looking for attention. Some opinions may possibly be valid, but you are giving your talent and time as a sacred gift. Ignore the buffoons. You’re enriching many of us who appreciate you deeply.
Thanks so much :-)
Wonderful colours and wonderful information all around it. Thank you.
So nice of you
This is a great video & I love how your explaining the various uses and mixing tips.
That very first yellow almost seems like a “cool” yellow even without the green in it , thought that was neat
Yes it would definitely be considered cool.
This is another great video by you. I love these videos about colours that are not the absolute basics. Anne Kerr recommended Napels yellow for sunsets, saying that it won't turn easily into a green sky.
Thank you, Regi!
I don't use sepia as a water colour but I use (synthetic) sepia ink for sketching and combine it with water colour washes. for fast portraits mainly but you could also use it for urban sketching. I like that it's dark enough to be dominant against water colour washes but not as dominant as pure black would be.
I often combine it with prussian blue or payne's grey, vermillion and some ochre maybe burnt umber (prussian blue+ burn umber looks very pretty to me).
the next colour I want to try is potter's pink. I think it would be nice as a light colour to add texture into skin and maybe also a nice addition for some botanicals like matthiolas or holly hocks. it seems to be less dominant so it maybe would be nice to add into other colours.
I also want to try neaples yellow reddish in the future...mainly because I think it looks pretty, but if I also want to try swapping it for my ochre to get a more soft look maybe.
Let us know how it goes using Potter's Pink!
Two colours i really love for shadows are Moonglow and Raw Umber Violet. Raw Umber Violet is more natural looking shadow colour, Moonglow is prettier but more synthetic, but both work great for shadowed areas.
Haven't tried Raw Umber Violet, will have to take a look!
Thank you for this!!!
No problem 😊
That ultramarine you show looks like the French Ultramarine I have from Sennelier. It's a beautiful colour indeed.
It is!
This was very helpful, I love color and found this fun!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your videos Michelle..and have never noticed any problem whatsoever with the sound
Awesome! Thank you!
Really enjoy your videos Michelle. I am new to watercolour and your channel and particularly enjoying the videos providing more information on colours and colour mixing. Fortunately there are plenty for me to binge on 😊
Thank you so much!
Very interesting video, thanks Michelle. I've used a few of these colours, but was toying yesterday with the idea of spending even more money than I should by buying a manganese blue hue, and nickel titanate yellow, so I'm going to have to do it now. Though I love yellows and blues for some reason I also find earths really interesting so good to see so many of them get a mention.
Glad it was helpful!
I found this really useful and interesting. Love these colors and will consider them as I re-work my beginner palette! Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your tutorials
Thank you!
Great video! Everyone should see this and reacquaint ourselves with these beautiful colours. Raw umber and Sepia are one of my favourites, I always put them in my palette…
Couldn't agree more!
Love this!
Thanks, Marta!
I liked all the colors you demoed but particularly the Ultramarine green shade. I will order it from Jackson's next time I order from them. I recently discovered Jackson's and like their watercolors. I also was quite taken by your painting that you showed. You are a very excellent watercolor artist and teacher. Thank you for your videos. Sharon in the Yukon Territory, Canada 🇨🇦
I have several of these colours quin rose, perylene violet, oxide of green, mangenese blue, raw umber, sepia
Thanks Michelle, as usual you helped expand my knowledge. Now I know better ways to utilize Raw and Burnt Umber.
Happy to help!
I’m a late comer to this video but I loved it! Thank you for all the great information!
You have a great way of explaining how you can draw or paint making it make sense. 👍♥️🎄
Oh thank you!
This is a very interesting video thx.
I recently discovered Nickle Azo Yellow and I am in love with it.
that sounds interesting, who sells it?
@@artwithalexander5359 Mine is Daniel Smith's but Im pretty sure every brand has a version of it with different names. It usually is a PY150
It's a great yellow for mixing.
Useful information, thank you
You are welcome
perylene violet mixed with perylene green gives a lovely black/shadow colour
As usual Michele this video is very useful. I took notes. 😉Thx as ever. 🥰
You go to the top of the class, Alicia! :-)
