4:32 Would Pro Acryl's Bismuth Yellow work for making your Goblin Green lookalike?

Great video. I'm going to give this a try!

New subscriber , first of all thanks a lot for all the work you provide on this channel this channel is like a gold of mine for people like me we do really appreciate you knowledge , second I respect your patient to still provide such knowledge even with low interections . Hope one day your dedicated work gets its deserved appreciation and recognition . Best of luck on your journey .

Very interesting. As I see it, the only thing any white pigment does is to add opacity (which is why they are also known as opacifiers). So, I was quite surprised to see that cadmium is even more opaque than titanium. Maybe you should make a video about whether there is any functional difference between zinc white and titanium white with extra added filler? If all they do is add opacity, they should behave the same (perhaps with a slight difference in sheen). However, zinc white is often marketed as superior to titanium when mixing

I feel so vindicated using Mayan carmine

Wow those are some cringe names

I think it's useful to plot one's own pigments.

I have a tube of PG50 but it's actually not particularly useful. The phthalo family is more useful to me.

Subscribed. So glad to have found your channel. I first saw your comments on Stahly's review of VGC. Thank you for the granularity of your reviews!

That union are the worst pieces of shit ever

I also enjoy these chinese cartoons

Modern Japanese reads left to right, by row, like English. Traditional Japanese reads top to bottom, by column, from right to left, so you read down the page starting at the top right and then move leftward to the next column when you reach the bottom.

Not once did I think the paint man would go full weeb in a video explaining paint labels

Makes me think there needs to be standardization like Blue Wool to avoid confusion.

nice video! I'm new to learning pigment related stuff and your channel, so I was wondering what is the difference between that liquitex acrylic gouache you showed in the video vs. their soft body acyrlic? Is it just being more matte or do they have completely different formulation? My fiancee bought me the soft body set as a present, I've seen other mini painters try this gouache paint line (or golden soflat) so I hope I can use this one too :P

I prefer pb 33 and pb 17 even though I can never seem to find any pb 17 anywhere

Sadly brand matters with this stuff. When I started airbrushing I used the Airbrush Thinner and Flow Improver from Vallejo in a mix like Vince Venturella suggested it on his channel, which doesnt work for me well "somehow". I used the mix for brush work once and found that the Flow Improver doesnt really act like a drying retarder. I got Flow Improver and "Slo Dri" from Liquitex and that stuff works like a charm. I dont have to think about how to use it, since it exactly does what it states on the lable

Thanks for knowing the differences are. Though I have lingering questions, as this is related to primers: 1. I've seen some people using GAC to size their canvas or paper before priming it with gesso. I've read that GAC is made PVA and water, and I have thought if Elmer's glue diluted with water would be a substitute or if acrylic gesso is already enough since it's both sizing and primer according to Blick. I would assume that gessos from several brands have differing ingredients and proportions. I have considered making my own gesso out of household materials to save money. 2. I have a big bottle of acrylic emulsion (the flowy milky fluid that dries clear and glossy) my art teacher recommended me as a varnish for canvas. The acrylic paints I used when I stared in acrylic painting was house paint that dried matte. That emulsion is intended as a sealant and varnish for concrete walls. I have bought an acrylic medium intended for artwork and I noticed the emulsion and the medium have the same flow and coloration. Does the emulsion have additives that would prevent me from using it as an affordable acrylic medium and/or an ingredient for a homemade gesso?

I was told at some point that Airbrush Flow Improver and "regular" or Flow Improver intended for use with brushes are two different things and that regular flow improver isn't very good to use through an airbrush because it means the paint won't atomise properly, or at least as easily. Is there any truth to this?

Thanks for the video, appreciate it!

Thank you for making this, I think I'd like to keep on the lookout for some high flow medium. I have run into some issues with making washes some paints with water, so it sees useful to have on hand. Maybe get closer to what you can do with acrylic inks.

How is it that pv23 is marked fugitive by few manufacturers (for example Schmincke) and quite lightfast by other manufacturer (especially the red shade, by Daniel Smith)

Enter Islam and success. I replace this colour in my 55 colors paintbox with blockx transparent mars yellow I do like the pale greenish grays it makes...its hard to replicate with just green and black...

Amount of paint that soothes the heart

Hi, really informative video, thanks! I was hoping you could recommend a deforaming agent that could be used with acrylic miniature paints (Vallejo) as I'm having problems with excessive bubbles forming even just while picking up paint on the brush!

What's this Goblin Green? What's the fuss about it if it's just cadmium yellow and chromium oxide green?

I am not familiar with the old Citadel colors. But I do know ye old Vallejo Goblin Green which should be close to the Citadel counterpart, but it separates like hell. I always wondered why it acted so terrible

Anyone you know have access to an Atomic Absorption spec to get the metals and check for 100% about the cadmium thing?

Sick. Not glossy. Thank you.

I love these short, and to the point, videos. I feel like I can totally do this! Thanks!

So no matte medium like in the previous nuln oil recipe?

The discord server invite has expired.

That looks like straight up like PBr8 raw umber.

now i need to check the pigments inside aggrax lol

I don't think you said how much water

Have you ever bought any of the Chinese internet mystery paints from either Amazon or Temu? If so, where did they measure up in the best of the worst and do you have the expertise to test them for lead or other toxins/cancerogens?

Ammonia is toxic and volatile, right? If we add it to paint won't it evaporate and eventually enter our lungs?

I am wondering if without the ink it is equivalent to Lahmian Medium. Great video.

Very useful info! I think i can handle making this. Thanks!

The paint cup you're using, it looks like from the lid that's a 25ml cup?

Great video. Thanks for showing us what goes into their shades. Maybe a follow up about contrast/speed paints?

Thank you for informing us of how you dispose of toxic paints. 👍

An excellent video that my non-technical oriented mind can follow! Love it! Still, I'm glad I can find this stuff in bottles😅.

1) Do your homemade acrylics dry matte or glossy? 2) I do wonder if you'll or you've ever put Prussian Blue into acrylic? I know that Prussian blue is unstable with acrylic (the pigment is acidic while the acrylic binder is alkaline), but there's this one brand called Derivan Matisse that claimed to have used the real deal Prussian blue in acrylic instead of Phthalo blue-based hues. Matisse says it's a trade secret, so I do wonder if you'd make your own stabilized Prussian blue acrylic?

M Graham's version of quinacridone gold uses a mix of PY150 and PO48 (quinacridone orange). I typically keep PR101 on my palette and mix PY150 to get close enough when I need it. I haven't tried P048 nor M Grahams mix to know if that gets a result closer to the retired pigment.

Red iron oxide or not, I do like the peach colour the two made when mixing them. Makes sense that a white-yellow and an orange would make a lazy flesh tone. Also youtube might have minced your audio a little. There was some weird cut-outs and a beep during the vid. Sounds a bit like compression artifacts but I'm no audio engineer.

well guess that saves me a purchase on it. probably just going to add different yellow to my watercolor pallete. even though i do like the range from orangey to yellow Quin gold has. it's still pretty meh i guess.

I hoped with this version we’d get something a little closer to the most requested one; the version that DS used to have. I like the pigment, but for these too.. as marketed as something “very” different, it’s too similar. I can’t get over the extremely extinct 😅 Guerra says it too.. can something be just a bit extinct? 😉

Ooooh, the Holy Grail of pigments!
