This is just a great example of the wonderful tutorials Sandrine proves on her Patron site. She is so amazing and just a wonderful teacher. She loves to share her knowledge. I am a true novice. I started using her watercolor session to help me recover from COVID. I am so glad I found her station. I love her authentic heart and she will answer your questions quickly with a down-to-earth answer. Can you tell that I am a big fan? Believe me do yourself a favor you won’t regret it.
I mix my own Moonglow using M.Graham's Viridian (PG18), Da Vinci's French Ultramarine (PB29), and Daniel Smith’s Quinacridone Coral (PR209). It's very lightfast and separates beautifully. I prefer the slightly orangey Quin Coral vs the more violet leaning Anthraquinone Red or Carmine in my mix.
That's interesting, I was just wondering what would happen if you switch things around a little bit with that red. 😊 I just picked up Daniel Smith's 'Rose of Ultramarine' as the base for this mix for convenience... but I've got all three of the colors in DaVinci.
Hi Barbara, there is a lot about Harmonic Shadows on my Patreon site :) The basic principle is to mix 3 primary colours already in the palette of any specific painting rather than introducing new colours. This way, the shadows are always in harmony with the subject.
I love Carmine PR176 from Daniel Smith because it is so gorgeous cool red but, according to many lightfastness tests, this pigment actually fades. French Ultramarine + Viridian + Quin Coral = the best lightfast Moonglow
PR176 doesn't seem to fade in masstone. It does fade more when very diluted and exposed to sunlight. But... Carmine and Quinacridone Coral are not interchangeable. You can choose one or the other for different mixes but the mixes will look completely different as they are completely different hues. I love Quinacridone Coral but it won't make a good purple... (unfortunately 😋)
@@AtelierSandrineMaugy Yes, they are different and unchangable in some mixes, so I have them both in my palette 😊. I hope Daniel Smith will change PR177 with other color more lightfast soon.
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial!! It’s has been 6 months; have you learnt anything more on the lightfast quality of moonglow. I’ve ordered your book and I was hoping to get it today 😅 ( I’m a bit impatient) oh well maybe Monday. In the meantime I’m watching some of your videos. Thanks for all you do 💕🇨🇦
Hi Susan, the potentially dodgy pigment in Moonglow is the Anthraquinoid Red, and nothing new has happened... Daniel Smith rate it "Excellent" in lightfastness, while the ASTM still hasn't tested it officially. Until they do, we won't really know for sure. Until then, I am keeping my lovely Moonglow for sketchbook tone studies and I don't use it in "proper" paintings :) I hope you enjoy the book! 🌸🎨

Thanks Jim :)

Thanks for the recipe! It sounds like a really nice mix :)
That’s what I do also.

Would love a moonglow sketchbook tour please
That's a great idea for a video, thank you :)
I make my own, substituting quinacridone coral for the pr177. It’s lightfast and beautiful.
Wonderful tutorial
Thank you :)
Hello from the US….I would love to watch a video of you creating ‘harmonic shadows.’ Does this involve the frequency of light the paint colors emit?!?

@@AtelierSandrineMaugy Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I greatly appreciate it!!
Her new book covers this also. Maybe your library will carry it if you aren’t wanting to purchase

@@AtelierSandrineMaugy Thank you.
Opera Rose is a beautiful pigment. Fugitive colors will last 100 yrs.
Wishfull thinking but they will absolutely not! :D Unless of course they are tucked in safely in a sketchbook and never see the light...
