I love the brick-like texture you got with the yellow ochre and venetian red. It's perfect for the building! I'm amazed at how many palettes you come up with.
I’m currently playing with yellow ochre, perm. A. crimson, and Prussian blue. Nice, warm, muted colors. I don’t know why, but I seem obsessed with huge pan sets, and buying tons of tubes...when it’s all so unnecessary.
Nice 🤩 Beautiful texture with the granulation. I am Happy that you made a misstake,so I could see IT was easy to fix. 👌make me less afraid to make misstakes 👩🎨
What a great demonstration, and a very nice result! Thanks very much. I think the colours really suit the subject. I love venetian red on it’s own - when its watered down it’s makes a lovely vintage pinkish red.
Thank you very much for this educational journey I loved all those background sounds of nature and was surprised you apologized about the truck it just helped me stay in this world
OMG I love your videos! Thank you so much for them, they turned my picture of painting upside down! It's great that you explain everything you do. It really helps And I love your background sounds! It's much better than music or silence, even if there's a garbage truck. The sound feels alive and reminds of summertime, it's quite relaxing THANK YOU SO MUCH
I have cobalt blue and it is a really nice sky color blue. I see a lot of TH-camr artists using yellow ochre and from your demonstration, I think it is a pretty yellow. I don't have it on my palette though. The Venetian Red looks really heavy. I suppose if it is used in mixes or diluted it would look nice. I think deserts of the southwestern states of the US would lend themselves really well to making good use of Venetian Red and Yellow Ochre.
Woah Teoh this was very enjoyable to watch. Great job with the painting, you captured the light and atmosphere very nicely. It's fun to see how much can be done with only 3 colours. I did a similar experiment this weekend myself, but with lemon yellow deep, permanent rose and winsor blue (red shade). The lemon yellow deep gave very bright pastel mixes hehe. I'll give this colour palette of yours a try when I get a venetian red ^ ^
I swear I really felt like you feel its going to turn into a disaster and I'm so glad you didn't quit because it turned out to be beautiful:) Love this series 🎉
Very nice sketch! It was especially helpful to see you fix mistakes. Really like those colors. I decided to use casein paint for the Strada 30-Day Challenge and I use those three colors a lot.
Hi, Teoh, thanks for the video, I love each one you publish, they help me a lot. I'm not in the habit of always leaving comments but I always watch your videos as soon as you publish one. Love your sketches too.
This is my kind of demo, as I'm a big fan of the limited color palette! Wonderful information and artwork, Teoh! Thank you for sharing. Not sure if you've ever tried it, but something fun is to rotate your color wheel for the limited palette and use, for example, a violet, green, and orange set up. Not easy to do, but fun to try! Again, thank you always! Cheers! :)
+M.D. Campbell Secondary colour palettes are very difficult. I’m not sure where I learned from, but someone once told me that a painting only feels complete when all the three primary colours can be seen, no matter how small the amount it may be. And when I look at old paintings it is pretty true.
Oh! This is a super neat limited palette! Eve Bolt sent me three of her handmade paints that are super similar to this because they're mostly earthy, and you're making me want to play around with them again, now! Is it weird that my favorite mixture is that grey/purple mix? It's just so moody and beautiful.
This is one of my favorite palettes. Have you tried the Daniel Smith Monte Amiata Natural Sienna? It glows, at least in my perception! I prefer earth tones in my landscape and limited palettes and it has become my warm yellow , nudging out yellow ochre.
Ei Teoh! Great work, as always! If I may make a suggestion, , what do you think to show pens and paper (or sketchbook) too? Will be great and much help. You've done a wonderful job here! Many thks!
Interesting limited pallette, but I really have no clue what to use that venetian red colour for! 😅 colours using the PR101 pigments are generally hard/challenging to use, at least for me. Adore your building sketches, as usual.
from handprint: "The main drawback to this pigment is its dense opacity. The solution is to dilute the paint and use it as a tint wash, or add it in small quantities to color mixtures. It is extremely effective at warming sap green and yellow mixtures, subduing intense yellow, orange or red paints, neutralizing blue and cyan paints, and producing a wonderful range of salmon, pinkish and pale flesh tints. Winslow Homer's favorite black was mixed with venetian red and iron blue; it makes fabulous sky grays when added to cobalt blue."
I think I suggested this, or something along these lines. These are the sort of pigments I associate with the 18th century classical watercolourists, and to be fair they perhaps work better in the context of a more deliberate academic style of painting. To these British eyes the muted tones are very natural, because we don't do vibrant here (except phone boxes) but we know all about greys, dirty browns and dull greens. Adding viridian and gamboge would probably round out the green side of things whilst staying with old pigments; mercurous sulphide being fairly unpleasant stuff vermillion is perhaps better avoided, but a cadmium red would cheer up the oranges without cheating too much. Not sure that there's much to be done about purple though unless you're prepared to put up with rose madder. Interesting experiment: thank you!
Not sure about that. There's no best palette. Because the way paints and pigments perform, there are just some colours you cannot mix with only 3 colours. Any 3 colour palette is a palette with limitations. The more sets of primary colours you add, the more versatile it will be.
I believe that here in UK we pronounce Venetian Red like 'veneechian red' as I think Venetian means 'from Venice'. howjsay.com/pronunciation-of-venetian
Probably. It would depend on the subject matter painted also. Some colour palettes work well with certain subjects. E.g. A colour palette that can produce bright greens will be more suitable for landscapes.
Great demo! watercolor is test of patience. Your sketch looks very good in the end! I use a similar muted palette in my oil paintings: titanium white, yellow ochre, Indian red and indigo. I don't paint a bright sunny day with it though. ;-)
Teoh, You did a good job with this palette, but I find it a bit dull and dark. I use cobalt blue a lot, probably even more than ultramarine. Thanks for this..
Swap out the Venetian Red for Quinacridone Rose and you've got a rock-solid flesh tone palette. Maybe Yellow Ochre for Monte Amiata Natural Sienna too if transparency's more your thing. Also, I'm surprised by the hue of Winny Newts' Venetian Red. Traditionally Venetian Red denotes an opaque orange-red, but this is *really* violet, like Caput Mortuum.
The reason these three pigments (genuine versions) exists in most serious Artist color ranges, is that they're ultra-permanent. Much more durable than other blues, reds and yellows. And that is also the reason the classical painters used them. While pigments like Phthalo blue, Quinacridone red and Benzimidazolone yellow have very good permanence (by all means use them and don't worry), they're not entirely perfect. They will eventually fade. These three you used here won't. So that's their real raison d'etre. Not that they're less brilliant or less strong. And there are others. Like greens. Ever wondered about the usefulness of genuine Viridian? Or Oxide of Chromium green? There you have your ultra-permanent greens. And Cerulean blue, that weak, opaque and sedimentary blue? Yea, it's hard to use, but it is ultra-permanent.
"Venetian" is pronounced a lot differently, you might want to look that up, most online dictionaries have pronunciation examples. Not trying to be mean or anything, just thought you might like to know that and I haven't seen any comment about it.
I really love how teoh don’t use music a lot in his videos
I really enjoy hearing the birds in the background while watching your videos. It's very calming and soothing.
I am in love with this series.
Thanks :-)
Me too. I think this is my favourite painting channel.

that's a really cool demo! Pretty unique to see an artist testing and discussing paint mix then demoeing them! Thanks a lot
I love how loose and relax you paint.
Love this video.. so informative and inspiring.
The Yellow Ochre and Venetian Red combination in the building looks beautiful. Thanks for this colour suggestion, Teoh.
OMG I love your videos! Thank you so much for them, they turned my picture of painting upside down!
It's great that you explain everything you do. It really helps
And I love your background sounds! It's much better than music or silence, even if there's a garbage truck. The sound feels alive and reminds of summertime, it's quite relaxing
THANK YOU SO MUCH
+Ульяна Мельникова Thanks 😂 The rubbish truck is very noisy.
That mistake turned into a happy little cloud! 😄

Thank you. The painting turned out wonderful.
Beautiful results
Thanks, Teoh. These limited palette videos are very educational for me.

Fantastic contrast.
( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Great video thanks Teoh! It's using one of my favourite watercolours too for the UK (cobalt blue) ☺
A touch of Venetian Red with Yellow Ochre makes a very nice pumpkin color. I like that.
...and if you add a little bit of blue and dilute it, you have a skin color!
We need more from this series!!!!!!!!!!
It is very interesting to see you explore this limited palette.
+Laura Johnson Thanks 😊
Hi Teoh, very interesting video. I love this limited palette series. I will try to challenge my self in painting only with the primary. Thank you! 😀

+yarden2611 Thanks 😂 you never know how it's going to turn out while painting, especially using colours not commonly used.
Very nice sketch! It was especially helpful to see you fix mistakes. Really like those colors. I decided to use casein paint for the Strada 30-Day Challenge and I use those three colors a lot.
+Debbie Riley Thanks 😊
It turned out great!

I've a video on Monte Amiata Sienna th-cam.com/video/PT4WhdmK4q4/w-d-xo.html
I love this series very imformative even if you dont have a limited palette...im curious to how you would compare raw sienna and yellow ochre?
I don't really have any preference from the two. I can use either or whatever's in my palette at the time I'm painting.
Ei Teoh! Great work, as always! If I may make a suggestion, , what do you think to show pens and paper (or sketchbook) too? Will be great and much help. You've done a wonderful job here! Many thks!

I am experimenting with it right now and use it when I need an opaque brown and mix it with green gold (py129) to get the most amazing golden browns.
mrhappy19 so helpful!! Thank you so much 😊🙌
Thanks for this demo! Can you please let me know what fountain pen and ink you are using?
I use the Pelikan M200 and Noodlers Bulletproof black ink for this sketch
www.parkablogs.com/picture/review-pelikan-m200-fountain-pen
Thanks so much!
that venetian red shocked me haha!
I love this. Would you say that the reds in Decadent pies resemble Venetian Red? I dont know what kind of red it is, it's just my skintone palette.
Nice ! What brushes are you using ????
Nevskaya Palitra and Escoda Ultimo
Wonderful! Sometimes I hear birds in the background so lovely and relaxing. What kind of birds are they?
Not sure what birds they are. I can hear them but can't see them. lol
@@teohyc you are painting in the city with a window open, or are you painting in the countryside?
@@michegreIt's a residential estate with tall buildings. But it's quiet here.
@@teohyc Do you still live at the location where this was filmed? I like the jungle sounds in the background ;-)
@@PaulaBean I have moved. Those sounds, unfortunately, have been replaced by traffic nosie. -_-"
You're awesome 😯👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

+GenWivern2 Yeah, someone suggested a colour palette similar to this. But I can’t remember who. 😬
When is the next contest giveaway? Lovely review, and products included gave me some ideas for a college project! So its been quite helpful! 😁
I think I've given out most of the items that I can ship easily. Not sure when the next giveaway contest will be.

In all fairness, Brits mispronounce basically everything
+ionlyemergeafterdark Sometimes I like to mispronounce to get more comments 😂🤣 Kidding. Or maybe not.
:)
Jerk, rude, useless comment
Maybe you'd like to try doing some figures with the Zorn palette :) great vid btw :)
A lot of old masters use colour palettes that are quite close, especially portrait painters.
What pen and ink are you using? Is it a calligraphy pen?
I usually use a fountain pen. Pelikan M200 with Noodlers Bulletproof BLack Ink. Sometimes it's the Uniball Gel Impact.
Loved this palette! I don't have venetian red--I wonder if Perylene Maroon would work?
Probably. It would depend on the subject matter painted also. Some colour palettes work well with certain subjects. E.g. A colour palette that can produce bright greens will be more suitable for landscapes.
what is that crazy sounding bird that is constantly whooo whooing in the background?
That's the Asian Koel
Ah, an asian cuckoo! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_koel
Great demo! watercolor is test of patience. Your sketch looks very good in the end! I use a similar muted palette in my oil paintings: titanium white, yellow ochre, Indian red and indigo. I don't paint a bright sunny day with it though. ;-)
Kaustav Mukherjee ok
I like indigo
Great! The stuff that I use is like a blueish black oil paint...provides muted blue tones. It was deliberately chosen.
Kaustav Mukherjee oh nice to know ok painters I haven't tried oil yet :)
yaaaaa...
Anthraqiinone blue
Teoh, You did a good job with this palette, but I find it a bit dull and dark. I use cobalt blue a
lot, probably even more than ultramarine. Thanks for this..
I kept waiting for the tree to be more green and lifelike.
That’s the brightest the green can get with this limited palette.
Swap out the Venetian Red for Quinacridone Rose and you've got a rock-solid flesh tone palette. Maybe Yellow Ochre for Monte Amiata Natural Sienna too if transparency's more your thing.
