These paint history videos are interesting, especially with the swatching comparisons. Many of us use these paints on a regular basis without realising how they originated and developed. Somehow, knowing a little about the origins, this helps connect with the traditions of watercolour painting.
Sennelier! I hope that you will do more of this type of swatching video. I do enjoy the historical context as well as your swatching a range of values.
It's amazing how much warmth and light the WN professional has, even when dry. I'm going to be seeing it everywhere, with autumn coming on. Have to get some of that paint! Thanks for the demo, Lois.
Nice explanation and comparison! WN professional is hands down my favorite. Nothing else can touch it to get a glow in the sky, without going green. I think that touch of PR101 does it. Daler-Rowney Artists uses the same pigments and it looks very similar. I like the browner raw siennas when I need a dried grass color - I use DaVinci. Daniel Smith has a gorgeous Monte Amiata Natural sienna that is golden and has subtle granulation.
I have the W&N Professional raw sienna, which I love. Having seen the Sennelier and Jackson’s versions I’d like to add a PBr7 raw sienna to my arsenal, though. Thanks for the comparison!
This was very informative, as I was unaware of the difference among brands. The raw sienna I have is Holbein, which is PBr7 and PY42. It is very close to my DS yellow ochre, so I plan to order the Sennelier raw sienna. Cheap Joe's here in the US offers a 21ml tube for only $12.97. Thank you!
So interesting. I have WNC, I don’t dislike it, it’s more that I didn’t know any better until now. The two natural oxide paints left me wondering if you’d still get a nice glow in the sky or if the browness (?) would win out? The Sennelier was my favourite. The WN for 3 times the cost of the WNC seems a bit steep. Thank you Lois😊
I just bought raw sienna for the first time. I bought the Cotman because it was easier to get as I live in a small rural community not near any of the major art supply stores. I thought it was much paler than I expected so I was happy to see your review. I am wondering how hard it is to get the Jackson’s paint in the US. Thanks for what is a timely review for me.
Personally I prefer Raw Siena by W&N which is far more transparent and has an inherent glow. As an undercoat below the blue sky, Raw Siena really shines through. Colman on the other hand appears somewhat chalky and not in the same league. I understand the Colman variety is produced in China whereas the Artist quality is made in France. The Artist grade is also more expensive (minimum three times) the Colman variety and hence the difference in quality. As usual, a very well made video. My commendation on your brilliant effort.
Hello, I am contemplating doing a study on differences between Raw Sienna and Yellow Ocre since my pallet space is limited for creativity sake. To many colors tend to confuse my process due to long term Multiple Sclerosis brain damage, thank you for your very helpful content .
Yellow ochre is a lovely colour but opaque so can tend towards the muddy side. If you don’t have much room, I’d go for raw sienna as it’s more versatile!
I haven’t found a raw Sienna (or yellow ochre) that I really like. On my main palette I now have Daniel Smith’s Monte Amiata Natural Sienna, which has a lovely golden glow but is a PBr7 pigment - so a bit in between the colours you presented. It’s also slightly granulating and I find it very useful for painting landscapes and animals.
@@suel4269 Raw Sienna is usually lighter and more transparent than yellow ochre. For my taste Raw Sienna is a bit too weak and yellow ochre a bit too dull, so I tend not to use either a lot, unless I follow a tutorial.
@@suel4269 I tried it on the dot card - I actually prefer their raw sienna to the light version, but probably because it’s not a typical raw sienna but much darker 😜

Thanks so much Mark, I totally agree 😊

Thanks Wendy, I plan to do at least one swatching video like this a week going forward 😊
Beautiful, thank You !😊
I truly appreciate your swatching videos more than others’. Your explanations make sense to me. Love Jackson’s. Thanks.
You are so welcome!😊
Lois- so fascinating. Thanx for this!
You’re welcome!😊
So helpful.
Really appreciate these swatching critiques.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation. Very clear. Thank you.
You are welcome!😊
I do enjoy these types of demos and the brief history that is given.
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated 😊

Love the Sennelier!!
THANKYOU for showing us the difference.
I think it’s worth having both the synthetic and the true iron oxide in our pallets. 🥰
Thanks, good call!😊
The difference is amazing! Thanks, Lois! I use Schmincke Horadem, a German manufacturer. They use natural pigments, too.
Good to know! Thanks 😊
Thank you, this is very interesting. It's good to learn the history behind the paints too.
A really interesting video Lois thank you. My absolute favourite is Daniel Smith's Monte Amiata Natural Sienna. It has nice delicate granulation too 😊
Thanks for sharing!😊
I never thought about it but o love this information I love wn raw senna I am going to try Jackson’s raw sienna Thankyou for sharing this information
I have the W&N Professional raw sienna, which I love. Having seen the Sennelier and Jackson’s versions I’d like to add a PBr7 raw sienna to my arsenal, though. Thanks for the comparison!
I’m glad it was helpful and happy painting! 😊
Incredible! Thank you so much for this informative and helpful review.
Thanks, Lois, for an informative video lesson. I did not know some of the raw siennas were synthetic. So much to learn!!!!
I think the Senillier and Jackson's are the most appealing to me. Thanks for making this comparison.
Thank you!😊
Grumbacher Finest is also from the natural PBr7. I love this kind of post. Thank you!
Thank you for making this comparison video. I actually prefer the artist quality Winsor & Newton. I like that yellow look.

The brownness becomes more subtle at paler values to give a lovely soft glow😊

I like Daniel Smith Raw Sienna but having seen Jackson Raw Sienna. I would like to try Jackson's paint
Thanks Guy, it’s a great colour 😊

I agree.
Too many colors have stopped me from painting.
Too much confusion.🙂
That was detail I missed about yellow ocre @@LoisDavidsonArt being opaque . That will be extremely helpful in my choice , thank you.
It seems counterintuitive but true non the less@@tavenchristensen3157 .

Try Daniel Smith Raw Sienna light.
News to me! I thought Raw Sienna was a lighter version of Yellow Ochre.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that Jackson's watercolours are manufactured by Sennelier.
It"s true
Thank you. Enter Islam and success
