Thrilled to see this video. I picked up cascade green recently and was surprised to see the two distinct colors when I did a large wash with it. It’s gorgeous! But I hadn’t realized beforehand that it would give a two color effect.
Yes. It is a beautiful color. I also have a chart that shows how to mix a variety of greens, from the colors on your palette. If you're interested, it can be found at: studio.krisdebruine.com/greens
I clicked this video so I could see the cascade green in action and decide if I wanted to buy it or not, but now I want not only it, but also several of the other colours you showed 😂 I shouldn’t buy so much paint but omg, several of your favourites are just _gorgeous_ 😍
@@KrisDeBruineStudio update one year later: I ended up finally caving in and bought Cascade Green, the tube arrived in the mail just the other day 😂 I held out as long as I could lol
From what I've read DS Cascade Green is specifically a mix between Monte Amiata Raw Sienna (a pale, bright pbr7) and Phtalo Blue (Green Shade). Thank you for this demonstration, I agree, Cascade Green is a joy to use and I'm always looking for subjects that will give me an excuse to let it shine 🥰. Mixing it successfully yourself is an art lol
Agree, their cascade green is definitely with a sienna PBr7. I just got Monte Amiata AND Cascade green: having a blast doing some limited palette landscapes with those 2, viridian and my PB33 I Mulled a few months ago. Out of curiosity, I mixed a Terre Verde dupe with viridian & MA, goes great with the cascade green for mountain evergreens
This was so fun to watch! I love cascade green and have wanted to get it. I would love to see this demonstration done with more paper, more area covered on the paper and more water. I bet you would get some beautiful mixes with letting the watercolor create its magic. I love granulation also! Thank you for sharing!
Is your pthalo blue there a red shade version? I wonder if the cascade green contains a pthalo green blue shade rather than a pthalo blue red or green shade, along with some earth pigment?
Thanks for this, it was really helpful for me. I’ve been seeing a few videos recently with cascade green and have concluded that i will give it a pass. It’s not as interesting to me as a green for foliage washes as the Primatek greens and behaves like a blue in mixing. Maybe if I was doing a botanical painting of a holly or one of the bluish cast fir trees I would get it.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I live in the Pacific Northwest where the name "Cascade" comes from. I couldn't pass it up! :-) I love to paint Blue Spruce - for which this is a perfect color.
Keep in mind that just because there is a listed pigment number, does not mean that even if it is just one single listed pigment in the paint, that it will be that one color that is used in the ‘luxury’ mixed color(in this case: cascade green) . It depends on how the actual pigment is processed that its end result will determine what that color the pigment will look like, not just because it’s listed as that color will it be the same color. Some are heated to a higher temperature that changes its chemical composition and making it look different, but it still can and is listed as the same pigment number. Daniel Smith alone, has about 9 different colors that list PBr7 as it’s only contained pigment, yet they are all different colors in the ‘brown’ family. Obviously one company would use their own paints and pigment, but keep in mind that there are also many other companies that have their own paint variations as well to add to the possible pigment colors to be used as well, so there’s no doubt that it could be a variation of many of these colors used to produce this one and because it’s technically the same pigment, it’s not stated which color it actually comes from due to how that pigment was produced. Depending on which color they actually used in their formulation, would produce a different result if it wasn’t actually the color of Burnt Umber being used. It could have been Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, etc to make it instead, but still from the same pigment PBr7. And that’s JUST for that one. And with PB15 being the same (PB15 itself comes in different shades: PB15:1 & PB15:6 are middle blue shades/reddish shades while PB15:3 is a greenish shade) you’ve got so many different ways to make different colors with the recipe for trying to make just one. This is why it’s hard to figure out which pigment color IS actually used.
Cascade Green is my favorite color at this point. Thank you for the demo, I will be ordering more of the colors you mention. Great tutorial!
You are so welcome!

Haha. Sorry for encouraging your "habit" of art supply purchases. I understand the struggle 🤣

Try MANSienna & Manganese Blue

Thanks for this. Have it, have been playing with it, but not in this way. This approach will be educational. 🌺
Glad it was helpful!
I love Cascade Green💛 I'm going to follow your example add create a similar chart.
I agree. It is a rich color with so many variations in it. Beautiful!!
Wow! Gorgeous
Yes. I agree. I love this color!

You're welcome! I love this color.
It's such a beautiful color and thanks for all the mixes!
Yes. I absolutely LOVE this paint. When it settles into the paper, it reveals so many subtle colors.
I believe the PBr7 in Cascade Green is a Raw Sienna version of PBr7
Thanks for clarifying. I couldn't find that specific info anywhere. That makes sense...more yellow tones than Burnt Umber. 😀

Just discovered your channel and subscribed. You have inspired me to do more with my favourite Daniel Smith colour.
Wonderful! Welcome to the channel.
This was great!
Thank you for watching.
I came here to try to talk myself out of buying that color. Now I want them all!!! 🤦♀
Haha!! :-) I understand that compulsion.
The tube of cascade green that you hold for the camera says Raw Sienna not Burnt Umber.
Hmm. I'll have to look into that. Maybe I was mistaken. I made this video quite a few years ago. :-)

Thanks for the input
there are so many variants of PBr7
Yes. I agree. It is a pigment that is used to make many different colors. :-)
it look like b111 paul rubens watercolor🤔
I'm not familiar with that brand of watercolor. The pigments used in Daniel Smith Cascade Green are: PBr7 and PB15.
