@@JayNathanWatercolor Ideally you would swatch them on both black and white to show how they show up. Over black is more important since that is really how they are intended to be used. (They are a disappointment so don't get too excited)
I love Bloodstone Genuine. If you make a puddle of it in your palette and then drag a magnet underneath where the puddle is, it will separate the magnetic parts of the stone from the others and you get a really beautiful dark red and a blackish color!!
I would like you to swatch the remaining colors on the dot card. It is so nice that you present them simply and without additional music, hand movements or babble. Thank you.
Wow!!! So many paints. Thank you so much for swatching your way through all those watercolors.:) I took screenshots at the end of each video for reference. Your videos are always so relaxing and useful. Great Series. 😊
Dear Jay, Thanks for the series. Loved it. Just a note from Jane; When I was on a course with her in the Botanical Gardens in Sydney.... Create a sandstone building with goethite (and buff titanium if needed). Let it dry. Add a glaze of Jane's Grey for the shadow side of the walls, or windows. All are completely liftable, if you go too dark! So lets call it a safer, easier option which leans blue. This is the main difference to use it like this, compared to a neutral tint, or Paynes grey!

I love the Lunar Violet. It's just pretty to look at. lol I use the Payne's Blue Gray and the Lunar Black. I've enjoyed this series. I wouldn't mind seeing some or all of the others. They are ones I don't think I'd ever use, but I admit to being curious about them.
I'd LOVE to see the duocrome colors. Maybe it would help me decide to buy or not. They look good from what I've seen so far. But I'd like to see you swatch them. You seem to have the knack for it. I'm going to buy a tube of the granular purplish one. (Forgot the name.) ~~~ Thanx again!!
Always interested in the daniel smith paints. Thanks so much for the swatches. It's so much nicer to see them next to each other to compare. Would love to see the interference and iridescent colors too.
I am not sure if I commented before, but Lunar Black is my favourite black. It granulates and can even be manipulated with a magnet while in a wet wask....so you can get it to dry in patterns!
Thanks for these elaborate swatching series. Really curious which of the DS colors you’d pick for your ultimate, let’s say, 12-color palette. Must be hard to choose 🤣
@@Doodkapje I don't actually think any Daniel Smith would make it into my daily palette. They are very good paints and the sap green is tempting but I don't think I would ever pay Daniel Smith prices. I'm happy sticking to the much better value (in Asia at least) Rembrandt, Holbein, Mijello and Van Gogh. If money was no object then I'd probably go with Winsor & Newton or Schmincke.
I’m using Winsor & Newton professional at the moment and I note that the Indigo and Payne’s Grey both have the same pigments as per their labels. Payne’s Grey-PB15, PBk6, PV19. Indigo is listed in a different order, PBk6, PV19, PB15; does the order in which they’re listed indicate the percentage of that pigment, the first being the most.?
Great series Jay, enjoyed seeing them all together. I’ve only got a tube of Janes grey too, not tried any of the other signature greys. I swatched maybe 2 of the duochrome colors and quit. They just weren’t that interesting to me. You have to do them on black paper or over sharpie or you cant see anything.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊 Ah yes I would have to do some of them on black paper. Or do all the duochrome, interference and iridescent paints need to be on black?
@@JayNathanWatercolor They definitely show up best on black. You can make a big black stripe with a sharpie and paint over the white and black so you can compare.
I have read in a book about self made pigments that Ivory Black is, or at least was made from Ivory 'scraps' that were incinerated. Since I know that using it gives me chills - and not the good kind....
it is a bit funny, how you try to keep up, with the expectaions to talk seriously about the primatexk. I mean 'this is ......stone....no other pigment information'. that is funny. because, none of the gemstones have anything to do with pigments. when you pulverise them and try to make paint out of them, you would have no colour at all. I had learned this in the late 90s in a couse about gem stones. And I bet - those pseudo geniouses of DS knew that from the very beginning.
And, um YESS! I would be VERY interested to see the shiny duochromes and interference colors!! I'm like an emu, I gravitate to sparkly things 🤣🤣
Haha. I'm sure they'll be very sparkly 🤣
Really enjoyed this series, thank you
You're welcome. I'm happy that people enjoyed the series. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Your organized comparisons are most helpful.
I'm glad you find them helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏
Yes. Please show the metallic, duotone and other unique paints, preferably on black paper. Much appreciated.
Do all the duo chrome, iridescent and interference paints need to be on black paper?

@@JayNathanWatercolor Always a pleasure!

ok, now I have to try that! thanks for the tip!
That sounds very interesting. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I’ve seen a video of it recently and it’s amazing to watch
I really like and appreciate this series and all your content, thx!
I would like you to swatch the remaining colors on the dot card. It is so nice that you present them simply and without additional music, hand movements or babble.
Thank you.
You're very welcome ☺️ I'll swatch the rest soon.
I would love to see the other colours! This series is so much fun!

Thank you for the tips 🙏
I like Paynes Grey , Bloodstone genuine, janes gray neutral tint. Use them often. 💖
I love the two Alvaro Castagnet greys
Do you have them both? How do they differ from the other Grey's on offer?
The a lunar violet is beautiful, going to add it to my list. I'd like to see all the colours on the dot card please
I’m a big fan of your dot card swatching. So yes please to swatching the remaining colours, even though I suspect they’re not ones I’d use myself.
I'll make a plan to swatch them soon 🙏😊

That's the one. I had to watch again. There's about 4 that I really like. Lol

You're welcome 🙏 I'll make a plan to swatch out the rest of the colors in the near future.

Do you mean what colors would I choose for a 12 color Daniel Smith palette or which Daniel Smith paints I would include in my daily palette?
@@JayNathanWatercolor The latter, it’s like killing your darlings just picking a few for a daily palette.

Have you considered adding the daylight images to your Instagram? That would be very useful👍🏼
Great idea! I will get around to it eventually 🤣
@@JayNathanWatercolor 😂. Eventually: one of my favourite words 😂😂

Of all these I have only Bloodstone Genuine and Lunar Black. I linke Bloodstone a lot. Lunar Violet is nice but I make it myself.
Ah yes. I guess that one would mix quite easily if you have the 2 pigments ☺️
I have read in a book about self made pigments that Ivory Black is, or at least was made from Ivory 'scraps' that were incinerated. Since I know that using it gives me chills - and not the good kind....
That's right. I think it's made from animal bones now.
Which is your favourite (s) DS paint so far? TY!
I really like the transparent brown and red oxides. ☺️

It would be very interesting to know what pigments are actually used in each of the primateks. 🤣
