Goethite is my favourite granulating earth pigment, it’s stunning in landscapes and cityscapes. On another note, the solution to the quinacridone gold problem is to make golden yellow cars fashionable again. All quin gold lovers should unite in bringing this trend back so that car manufacturers would start making it again!
This series is so much fun. I love that last colour swatched--desert brown. Oh my what a beauty. I have made a note of that. Thanks for your hard work on putting this all together! ❤
Hullo Denise, I am always intrigued with your color choices and I have become a DaVinci convert from way back to your moody trio from them! I have seen many paint formula changes over years of painting. I was so discouraged when I got back into painting with paint and paper. I went to my local art shop and was told that they had stopped selling my preferred brand and so many colors I grew up using had not been discontinued, but the formulas were changed they no longer had confidence in the brand. I have learned to celebrate new paint colors yet I have habit of trying to mix my colors and no be completely dependent on my convenience colors. You know how difficult it can be. Thank you for sharing this lovely video with us and I am also waiting for the new gold and seaglass from DaVinci to be delivered. Finding joy in new colors and not being distraught or discouraged when old favorites are retired. I look forward to your final segment and will probably have to rewatch them all again! We can all hope it helps your bottom line as well. Happy holidays please take care be safe and continue to share as much as you’re able, thank you.
ahh such a beautiful range of colors!! i've been wanting to try undersea green and gold ochre for ages but i'm in danger of outgrowing the box i have for paints so alas they must wait. that desert green is also absolutely stunning! i picked up da vinci's perylene green on your recommendation a while back and now i absolutely can't live without it :D looking forward to the last part of the series!
Oh WOW! Stunning colors. What if I am ready to upgrade from student palette and ready for professional ones- Is there a 1/2 pan palette you would recommend to get started. I don't even know what brand to look at - DS , WN, Da Vinci. ???? Please - anyone who sees this please feel free to share thoughts. Thank you so much!
Hello there! It really depends on what you paint, what qualities you enjoy in your watercolors, and where you live! I tried to design my 24-color Earth Friendly palette with Da Vinci to cover all the bases for a wide range of subjects. It has both mixing colors and earth tones, and is relatively affordable for professional watercolor if you live in the US. I hope you find a great fit with whichever you go with!
Beautiful selection as always. The semiopaque/opaque PBr24 is the one that has picked my interest because I've seen it so many mixes with various phthalo blues so I cannot wait to try it and see what new flavours can bring to my mixes.
I love this series, Denise! I just wanted to chime in and say in my main palette my transition from Greens to Earths is via Green Gold by Daniel Smith then Rich Green Gold by Daniel Smith and finally Quin Gold. I use the last two as yellows but visually they create a nice bridge between my Sennelier Forest Green and Daniel Smith Transparent Red Oxide on my palette. So yes to putting them with the earths! :)))
btw, that Desert Brown is lovely. I have Volcano Brown which is just the red and the black. I have a tube of the Volcano Yellow so I should play with this mix. I haven't been using granulation as much lately but I used to love Volcano Brown for sketching subjects where I had to depict soil as you didn't have to do too much to get the effect and the red in the paint always played off the greens used in any landscape or botanical subject.
I'm with you! It's always been the way I prefer to bridge those colors. Occasionally I try to put PY129 with my yellows and am just like, nah. I always use it for mixing greens anyway, so it makes sense there!
They do! Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of the formulas. They're a bit gummy, so I still prefer the pans, but I'm glad they're out there for the people that prefer them!
"Now that PO48 has been discontinued" Thank you for posting this before Christmas, gonna hit up Jacksons before I can't paint my greens and browns anymore! Glad to be assured that DS is gonna have stock for a while longer like they did with PO49, but this is still REALLY sad news.
My apologies to be the bearer! I believe Daniel Smith still has years worth of stock like they did with Quin Gold, but doesn't hurt to have a tube or two on standby! :)
I'm pretty lucky my local art supply store carries stoneground paints; I've accumulated a good number of them at this point, including the naples yellow PBr24. I have one by schmincke too, and I like it better than yellow ochre. I was surpised not to see any dark browns here though; I'm learning to love burnt umber.
That's great that you have Stoneground available locally! The rest of the earth tones are in the next video (12 colors per video for a 48 color collection!)
@@InLiquidColor oh, lol, i can't count, I thought that was the last video, lol. I did manage to grab another pan of stoneground's delft cobalt blue so I have a secret stash before it's gone forever. I just used it in a painting of my MIL's cat that recently passed, with da vinci's violet iron oxide, and it came out beautifully. I like how it goes down wet in wet, not sprinting across the paper, so you can actually lay in shapes.
Hi Denise, I had a question about metals in watercolors. How do you know which types of metals are not environmentally friendly? For example, we know that cadmium and cobalt are bad, but Iron oxides are considered OK. I tried to Google about it but kept getting results on how to paint on metal instead lol And PY150 has nickel, making it not earth friendly, but doesn't PY129 have copper (I think)?
It's really hard to navigate, and I'm not an expert. As a California native, I'm used to seeing Prop 65 warning on everything, and I usually go off of that, as well as additional research when I can. PY129 does have copper in it. At the time I released my Earth Friendly Palette with Da Vinci, PY129 wasn't on the Prop 65 list, so my understanding that it somehow wasn't as toxic as the nickel colors like PY150. Years later, I've now seen it both with and without the Prop 65 label which makes things even more confusing. When in doubt, I reference Art is Creation's pigment database, which I think is still regularly updated. It lists the MSDS ratings for each pigment: www.artiscreation.com/Color_index_names.html

Haha yes! Whenever I see a quin gold car, it gives me a little hope :P
So with you on that. This plan has been floating around in the back of my mind also. I think we can make it happen!

Lovely video as always! I love the way you share your paints and palettes; it stands out among other artubers.
Thank you so much 💜
@@InLiquidColor And thank you too! Happy New Year! 👋🏼👋🏼
I thought I owned a lot of neutrals but you've introduced me to some really gorgeous shades and now I wanna get them 😍
What a pretty range of colors! Each color is so distinct and rich. I'm excited for the last part of the series 🥰
I am glad you are back

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR QUITESOME TIME
I'm sorry it's so late! Gotta squeeze them in before the end of the year 😅😅

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Wow Desde el video 1 estoy 😍😍😍🥰🥰 que colores tan tan bellos, los amo todos son hermosos.
White Nights has tubes now, including the Quin Gold hue (which I have ❤)
They do! Unfortunately, I'm not a huge fan of the formulas. They're a bit gummy, so I still prefer the pans, but I'm glad they're out there for the people that prefer them!
"Now that PO48 has been discontinued"

Try to mix Quin Rose + PY129 ( or Quin Rose + Py150 + a dash of blue) .That mixture mimics the DS PO48 really well.
Rembrandt also has an orange using PO48 and these are widely available. Hope this helps.
