    Instead of blocks for swatches, I like to make little apples with shadow and stems. This seems to immediately make the difference in colors stand out to me.

    So many artists skip this step of learning some basic theory, unfortunately. They might think science is boring, but you prouve it is fun and so usefull !😂

    Thank you for this video. As a professional artist and teacher i taught pigment basics. Most students just drifted off into dreamland and thought i was being my normal overly obsessive self who was just too fussy. But for me learning about pigments was so exciting and made such a difference in purchasing paints and mixing colors. I just love this subject. 🎨

    Now I'm growing into learning the codes, instead of just messing around. Like learning music... You first learn basic rhythm by playing games.. then when you start to get serious, you learn notes. Then when you're really serious, you start studying the circle of fifths... That's where I'm going. I want to know these technical things... One day, I want to become a painter of light... That's my big lofty goal!!!

  • @amypak
    @amypak Год назад +5

    Wow, I really enjoyed learning all these aspects about watercolor... although I've used watercolor both as a hobby and professionally for years, it's mainly been as a "naive user," just using paints I know I like for various reasons! This has been a wonderful "class" of getting to know the details behind their make-up. Thanks so much for a thorough and entertaining description! I look forward to checking out your other videos on the topic!

    Best ever explanation of watercolor pigments, well done 👏 🎉 I followed you through the whole video!! But if it had been my first day of watercolor I might feel like ok good to know but who cares let's paint something...lol! 😊 Now I can't get enough of learning all the color info. I'm working on finding my favorite sap green formula. So far I like viridian/phthalo green, cad yellow/gamboage, and cad red. I actually don't have the exact pigment number as these are from the Mei liang pretty excellent palette, which is Paul rubens student grade watercolor set but I'm working on figuring it out. Thanks for sharing. This was a great wealth of information!

    Video request: what convenience colors are we better off buying instead of mixing them on our own? I’ve heard some colors can be tricky. Thank you 🌻

    • @LCLand
      @LCLand Год назад +4

      I would argue any color you love. Even though you can mix something similar you may run out and need to mix more. Or you mix too much and waste paint. Why not just buy the colors you love. You can still play with mixing. I recently curated a single pigment palette for when I feel like playing with mixing. You can have it all! ☺️

    • @toshabeans

Teaching oneself can be overwhelming and often confusing. The way you put it makes it so much clearer! Last but not least: I love your humour and editing style!

  • @sophiaemilia3868
    @sophiaemilia3868 Год назад +1

    This was amazing! I wish I would have had the opportunity to watch this 3 years ago, when I started with watercolour. Gosh, I paid so much money for paint I didn’t understand, but thought I would need…. But as this all is an ongoing process and as I needed to know what subject matter I would like to paint (yay, even that matters when putting together a palette, nothing I knew) I think it was okay like it was. I made SO many mistakes. But I learned a lot along the way. Now I know my paints. I have a full book with swatches and all the pigment information beside, plus glazing and lifting. And this was so time consuming, but so rewarding. Recommend that to everyone. And definitely this video would have helped me out a lot in my beginnings! So nice. Entertaining and full of information. Loved it, thank you!

Okay, to be honest, I will watch anything else you produce, but especially will look forward to more about this.

  • @toshabeans
    @toshabeans 5 месяцев назад

    For me, learning the codes helped me understand why when mixing some brands comes out one way and another brand mixing a different to a different shade, or muddy colors because of the way that the different pigments work together (particularly if you see the white pigment in there) First vid of yours I've watched, greatly enjoyable! ❤

  • @redge9158
    @redge9158 Год назад +1

    I'm a new subscriber and I thank you for this informative video! I've been painting in watercolor every chance I get for 2 years and I'm still very hit and miss with results. I think the chemistry is an integral part of the process that I've missed. I enjoy your style and your videos are always light & pretty. According to the comments I'm in the minority, but to be honest I almost tuned out at the beginning with so much analogy - it's cute but my time for my hobby/obsession is so limited that I almost missed a great lesson. Thank you again for sharing your time and knowledge! I'll be looking forward to the upcoming videos ❣

    @crystalinedreams6039 8 месяцев назад +1

    learning pigments of our paints is very important to help you find that color you love so much in a brand that doesn't always use the common name for that color you want. it saves lots of money especially when your buying tubes. the same is true in learning which pigments use dye & those which lift easily, idk about you all but wasting money on paint i don't want or don't even like is not my thing so it's well worth pushing myself to learn these things. tfs! have a wonderful life!
