As a war gaming nerd there are two reds I deeply enjoy. Evil Suns Scarlet, and Pro-Acryl red. One pushes very far into the more orangey red- while the other while more RED is definitely more magenta-y. Both are like… what flavor of red do you want for me. I know you HATE hobby paints- but I’m just speakin’ from the laymans position.
You said in the vid that mixing water colours with acrylics is a bad idea but never explained why. Is it because they mix badly or is there some chemical reaction that happens?
@ Thanks. If you’d excuse me, I need to go wear black and start my mourning. I’m not that sad about PR42 being discontinued, I don’t use it, but we need to remain principled and mourn every pigment, not just the pigments we like 😂.
I know it's a bad mixer, but I do miss PV14(light)/PV49 here 😅
@@dirtyblueshop I miss it too.
It was a great color
@ it’s not available in acrylics? The pigment (at least all versions of PV14) are still there..
@@dirtyblueshop it is from Holbein and maybe another.

How do they mix?
Your PR209 is very orange-leaning. Mine (White Nights watercolour) is noticeably more pink.
@@awatercolourist yeah I am curious why it's that orange leaning, it's more like pr207

They mix badly, watercolors are a mixture of gum arabic and honey.
It makes the surface very tacky and sticky.
PV42 has been discontinued? When? Schmincke still has it.
@@awatercolourist since 2021 or 2022. Unsure exactly. The production stopped with the DuPont merger supposedly. Guerra says something similar.
