I love viridian and Terre Verte - because I live in the UK, and their subtlety suits our rather grey atmosphere: pthalo green is a mad, wild colour that needs a lot of dulling down in landscape. I knew a Scottish artist - Scotland can be very misty - who refused to believe that the pthalo colours had any use at all - with the choice of colours, a lot depends (if you're a landscape artist) on where you live.
Haha, yeah the phthalos are *extremely* potent in their tint strength! I mostly paint surreally myself and don't mind the saturation. Still, I toss in a little cad. red light usually! But when painting more representationally I move to cobalt blue and chromium oxide green. I like their mid-values and how they grey up nicely.
Thanks! Depends on the manufacturer, they like getting creative with their color names. :) But if you look on the tube or on their website you’ll want to look for pigment green 36 (PG36) for the yellow shade and pigment green 7 (PG7) for the blue shade.
@@leedavis-artThanks Lee! I had bought a small tube of Rembrandt "phthalo geen yellow" PG36, a couple of years ago but never ended up using any of it because I just thought it was kind of like a sap green. I often mix normal phthalo green with transparent oxicide red which works well for my landscapes, so I just stuck with that. I also have Winton emerald green hue which I thought was interesting and used some of it in seascapes, which I am guessing now is PG36, and not the deadly stuff :). But thanks to your video I can see now that PG 36 is a very interesting color which I plan to explore.

Very good way to make difference between green . I like it thank you for your small presentation but is very importante for artist.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video Lee! Is pthalo green yellow shade the same pigment as pthalo emerald, or are they 2 different ones?

Very helpful. Greens can be very tricky for me as a beginner.
It takes me forever to finish a tube of phthalo green, on the other hand I can blow through a tube of tera verde in one session.
Those phthalos are powerful aren’t they! Stark contrast to the Tera verde! 🤣
