Now i see why people love the Rembrandt version! But the roman szmal version is so soft/velvet looking! And both are way more transparent that i thought they could even be. For me tho, the way they mix is the main thing. Would love to see those two specifically, mixed with the common single pigment staples.
I found winsor&newton's smalt(pv15) is a delicate violet blue color which resembles hyacinth and not as pastel like as most lavenders. It granulates like regular ultramarine violets.
Ciao! We adopted Violet almost 12 years ago from the animal shelter here, so she will be close to 13 years old. She is a Corgi/Jack Russell mix, believe it or not, "Violet" is the name the shelter workers gave her. It's my fave flower so we kept it! She can be a "handful" sometimes, but adorable, and she's the heart of our little family. xoxo PS I do have "periwinkle" from a. gallo so I will swatch soon. Thank you as always for your enthusiasm!
Beautiful mixes! I have Van Gogh and DS Lavender and DS wisteria. I’ve not mixed with them until now, but your results have been so interesting…When I saw the pthalo green combination, I immediately wondered how the granulating viridian PG 18 would look with it!
So she’s a grown up girl 😍they really steal our hearts….(not that they really grow up). Mmmh I don’t know this periwinkle! I will check it out! Thank you for your message.
I like the Lavender from Daniel Smith and Mijello Mission Gold (looks similar) in a Mix with the Jaune Brilliant 1 + 2 from Mijello Mission Gold. Last Weekend I was in a Painting lesson with a lovely Artist (Anna Kataian). She shows me how perfect these colours are mixing in a maritim evening painting. Mijello is an South Korean brand and Mission Gold is the artist grade. You should buy a dot card. The dots in it are very large. Its really nice.
Paul Rubens has really come a long long way. I might have to try them again. It's been YEARS. Thank you for this video. I've been looking at buying a lavender! 🙂
Hello Elisabetta! As you know the colors featured in this video are some of my personal favorites, so automatically I have to give this video two big thumbs up 👍 👍! I have the VG Lavender but like to make my own formulation using DS Ultramarine Blue and DS Wisteria. I am impressed by the Roman Szmal version featured in the video, what a nice color. Also, thank you for showing your dog, what a nice treat! 🐕
Your messages are always the best! Your video about mixing your own Lavender was really inspiring. Can I link it in the description box? My dog is a true color expert so he's a crucial presence in all my videos! thank you as usual for stopping by :)
I have the Roman Szmal and Michael Harding lavender, I hadn’t noticed Michael Harding was so much more opaque! I love them both and I’m continually surprised by the wonderful mixes, my favourite of the moment being with pthalo blue for gorgeous skies! Thanks for this🤗
Shinhan do a lovely lavender as well as Holbein. there are infact 2 types of 'lavender' Blue shade or Pink shade. The pink shade is more lilac which is the same as Wisteria or Lilac purple. Blue shades are lavender . Some lavenders are smooth and some are granualting depending on the brand.
Hi Elisabetta! I just found your channel a few weeks ago, and am really enjoying your videos. My mother's name was Elisabet, so of course I think it's a lovely name! To answer your question about the Daniel Smith brand anyways, it's the same here. Every product I'm aware of - food, cleaning products, etc - all follow the pattern of listing the ingredients in descending order. I'm a fool for lavender also! My favorite brand turns out to be the cheapest, Van Gogh. White Nights makes a lavender similar to the Michael Harding, but I won't buy them right now.
Incredible! Do you know that my mother was in doubt between Elisabetta and Caterina for me (which sounds lovely in Italian too). So we both have lovely names! You confirm my thinking about ingredients' order being descending, which is a good information, thank you! I completely share your feelings about White Nights, which was my go to palette before the war: it's a shame because they have wonderful paint at a very reasonable price, but I just can't touch them. Van Gogh Lavender is really nice I was surprised! Thanks a lot for your informative and very kind comment Katherine! Take care, Elisabetta
Hello to you Elisabetta and your furry baby.😊 I finally bought a Van Gogh lavender that I love, but before that I was mixing up my own periwinkle, lavender, and other pastel shades in half pans. It was a fun little project that cost much less to make than to buy in tubes.😂 All your mixes are beautiful. I especially enjoy lavender and greens. Maybe a PG26? The madder red and cerulean blue look great to me also I think a manganese blue mix would be beautiful as well. I hope you grab your book before it becomes wet.😢 We have been having quite a bit of rain and we're greening up quickly. Needless to say, we've had some mud, and my little Shi-Chi girls have been digging holes and eating dirt.😂 They are sooooo silly. Thanks for the comparisons. 😊
Your message really made me smile! And laugh!! My dogs really enjoy wet grass and muddy soil.... I have never tried a periwinkle you are really inspiring me today! I agree that mixing your own pastel colours can be a lot of fun...I do it with gouache! Thanks a lot for your lovely message and boop the nose to your little girls!
This color i have stayed away from cuz it just had to much "hype" and was a color EVERYONE was talking about...so i stayed away from it for years now. But i had the chance to try it the other day from a friend who gave me a little dot on my travel palette so i could try......and well, i dont know what brand it is but i really enjoy the funky mixes i can get with it.
I also had a prejudice against it.... when I swatched my Roman Szmal palette I believe I thought "what an useless colour!". Now I'm conquered! Thanks for sharing!
I have Wisteria by DS, but no lavender.. So I used the Wisteria and PB29 (ultramarine blue by DS and was able to get a lavender! Yeah. But the question is how consistently can I get this color? I will need to keep my swatch so I have something to compare it too. At first the wisteria was popping through, and had to add more PB29. Thank you for sharing all your Lavender paint!
Yes I know you can mix Lavender from Wisteria! I should try some mixes with wisteria as well….thanks for your message Patti! (A tube of lavender can always come in handy!)
I love everything on the top row apart from the Michael Harding actually. I’ve been wondering if I want a lavender and didn’t think I’d enjoy it because of the PW6, but those mixes are gorgeous. So maybe I’ve changed my mind. Hope you saved your book in time!
I love the lavenders and wisteria. I have both from DS, although I haven’t yet used them in a painting since I am currently working on learning realistic botanicals with am using transparent paints for layering.
I’m surprised that living in Italy you don’t have the A. Gallo colors! I know they have the Teyrian Purple which is in one of their sets, but I am sure they also have some lavender colors.
Hi! I have quite a few A.Gallo colors, and you can find a couple of videos in my channel. Unfortunately, I don’t own the whole range and I don’t have a lavender from them!
hello! For sure it's not an essential colour, but I think that it's a very nice addition for skies....My book is safe thank you! It was sunny when I left it in the garden! see you soon!
Ciao Elisabetta. Hai fatto in modo che nessuno dei colori mi piacesse. La maggior parte dei colori non la definirei nemmeno lavanda, ma azzurro. E' interessante che si possa imparare qualcosa a 49 anni. 😁 Grazie per aver guardato il cane, deve avere un carattere angelico. Ora scrivo in italiano, quindi non ci saranno problemi se il programma di traduzione funziona bene. Non ho nessuno dei tuoi colori, solo un malset economico dalla Cina per circa 20 euro, ma mi piace molto!! Non lo daro' piu', nemmeno per Daniel Schmidt. Raramente trovo la motivazione per dipingere. . . . . . . Ci sono molte ragioni. E' piu' facile guardare gli altri dipingere. Sì, è così tutto in questo mondo - anche il nostro tempo libero non è offuscato. Ma c'è ancora speranza per il paradiso, se si è cristiani. E' la mia consolazione. Poi avrò una stanza per la pittura ad olio, una per l'acquerello e una per l'acrilico. Ora devo fare tutto nel mio salotto. . . . . . . Ma la vita finisce in fretta. Lo saprai anche tu. Più invecchi, più in fretta passa il tempo. Ma ora ho un nuovo hobby che mi piace praticare molto spesso - lavorare all'uncinetto! Ho lavorato un sacco di fazzoletti.
Cara Julia, il lavanda nell’acquerello è in effetti un azzurro…. Il mio cane è un angelo in effetti! Grazie! Anche a me piace molto l’uncinetto e mi sto facendo una maglia granny square! Buon divertimento! Grazie mille per il messaggio!
Lovely video! I'm watching to specially see the comparisons between the paul rubens' tubes, as i have all 3 of them, haha. About PV3, I have one single pan of White Night's watercolor called "Violet" which is PV3. Tints strongly like dioxazine purple, unfortunately it isn't lightfast :( I'd still recommend fro sketchbook work though. Edit: OH you just mentioned white nights hahah my bad
Hi Maddy!! I think the problem with Paul Rubens is the difficulty of buying it open stock, because it’s an excellent brand otherwise! They have a huge range and this 3 tubes are just lovely! Thanks for the info about White Nights, it’s still interesting your opinion. Thanks for your comment! And have a lovely weekend:)
@@WatercolorElisabetta thank you for responding! I wish you a nice weekend too! I'm curious though, which Paul Rubens sets have you bought to get all 3 tubes? I had to buy three different sets to get them all, it was a 48 set, one of the artist's selection that comes with a palette and the flower matching set!
Elisabetta, can you tell mevwhat brushmyou are using? I tried searching, and it looks like a Unico 850. The handle looks interesting. Do you like them?
Hi David! Yes it’s unico Infinito 850 www.momarte.com/prodotti-per-pittura/pennelli-per-pittura/pennelli-sintetici/pennello-borciani-e-bonazzi-unico-infinito-serie-850.html?aff=44 I love this brush for washes and gradients. It’s synthetic but it behaves like natural hair!
Hi elisabetta.just before watching your video i had a empty half pan and wondered what i can do with it. So i thought i should mix a lavender my self because i didn't have it and it looked kinda interesting so i mixed (PW6 gouache)PB29 PV16 and tbh it's an amazing color. but was wondering if your paints have more white or blue and purple? Because its not easy to see on screen😅
Hi Pomegranate! There is a very interesting video I can suggest you about mixing Lavender! It’s on a very nice Watercolor channel by @morrisonwatercolors . I hope it helps!
@@WatercolorElisabetta thanks so much I did search on lavender but most if not all was about the flower it self and not the paint. His video probably got eaten by the algorithm. anyways it was really helpful 😄
