✨ Real Time Swatching ✨Super Granulating Schmincke & Daniel Smith / Haze, Forest, Deep Sea, Volcano
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is the Finale of my Cozy Swatching Series. In this series I swatch products from my Big Art Supply Haul. This time it's watercolors in tubes by Schmincke, their so called "Super Granulation" Series, as well as various paints by Daniel Smith. Most of the Daniel Smith colours are granulating as well however I also picked a lot of muted and moody colours since I already own a lot of vibrant colours as well as basic colours by other brands and I think Daniel Smith does a really good job with curating very unique shades. I find swatching to be super relaxing and I take my time here to demonstrate how the colours shift and change as they dry. I also got a few colours that I am not very fond of and rant some. At the end of the day it all comes down to personal preference, so bear with me.

Quin Coral pr 209 is lightfast. In Daniel Smith a I rating is lightfast over 100 years.
oh what?! Thank you so much for this! I will sticky that comment! How embarrassing I did not double check
@@MoniDmajor Hi are you gonna swatch the gouache too? Please?
100% agree on volcano set. I also got the new shire set that also has really bad binder issues because it uses so much of the volcano yellow in its mixes. I was so disapointed !
Okay BEST SWATCHING VIDEO EVER!!! I had to stop a quarter of the way thru the video and comment how I love your swatching style!!. I love that you are swatching in real-time! I love that you are showing the tube, saying the paint name and then adding the pigment info on the screen- all while talking about how you feel about each swatch!!! I wish every art youtuber swatched like this!!! To me whats the point of swatching if we dont know what color is being swatched- i see so many people swatch sped up and without names written down first; so we dont know what colors are being swatched and the video is too fast to see how the paint looks being painted out...etc...AGAIN THIS IS THE BEST SWATCHING VIDEO EVER!! please never change!!! Lol. Anyway thanks for sharing and much love! 💚
lol so its funny because Schminckes Volcano set: especially the volcano yellow and volcano red are my FAVORITES!! I bought big tubes of them because I love them so much- to find a single pigment granulating yellow and a single pigment granulating red is super rare...and i think most artists who are also pigment nerds love the idea of having a single pigment granulating red and yellow. If youre interested in learning more about why people love these colors Kimberly Crick on TH-cam makes a fantastic video about Volcano red and yellow---I really recommend you check it out😋 Ps. The 2 colors of the Volcano set you do like: Volcano Violet and Volcano Brown are mixes of the Volcano Red you dont like..So thats why they are really popular- they make amazing mixes
OMG, I just couldn't believe the praise so I had to reread this! It's incredible you enjoyed this swatching video so much, I felt so bad when I uploaded it because my good camera (the side camera) stopped recording and I only noticed too late and I personally am not too keen of the top down footage. Also I made a mistake in the video, Quin. Coral is lightfast, I feel stupid I did assume that the Daniel Smith rating system is the same as with other brands. I am glad you enjoyed it and I will make sure to make future swatching videos in the same style!
@@nadeaner.cowley513 I got the Volcano set for the exact same reasons you mentioned but again, on it's own I just don't find them appealing. But now after I have received so many comments I will not give up on them and will experiment with mixes to see what you and Kimberly talk about (btw. I follow her and she is a FANTASTIC artist and creator! She made me become more cautious of pigments and I am now willing to learn more about them!)
I agree that the Volcano Yellow is difficult right outta the tube. But well mixed before using it has a much better result. And I am quite fond of the red because it is a muted, earthy red. In the Urban set the yellow is combined with pink and is a lovely, subtle combo. I really liked watching you swatching.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas! Right up my alley!
I am so happy you jumped into the premiere! And I hope you don't need to work too much today!
Your granulation video is excellent. Your lighting and zoom in is so good we can clearly see the pigments dance and shift.
Thank you so much. I absolutely love this video and it’s really helpful for me. I got myself few of the colours and truly love them. I wish you a happy art career and fun in all of your new endeavours 😊💞
How brilliant and generous you are. Really enjoyed watching. ❤
Same feelings here about the Volcano set. I am still happy having the option of a granulating red and yellow. That Heinz' Ketchup orange is redundant IMO. Though I like the violet and the brown in this set, I was quite upset about the binder issues you get with the red and the yellow. That's absolutely unusual for Schmincke Horadam. Btw my absolutely favourites are Tundra Violet, Forest Blue and Haze Blue is growing on me because you get so many different results (I like unpredictable colors 😁)
I feel you! I agree the Heinz Orange is redundant since you can mix it with yellow and red. I was not very fond of the colours when I decided to order it but I did anyway just to have granulating mixing options, just like you said. Such a bummer I did not know earlier that they behave better in pans. I never expected this of Horadam. Btw, I just ordered the tundra violet, I looked it up and I could not resist :)
@@MoniDmajor I put your Violet in the cart as well 😁. I have the Desert Green in a pan and this is absolutely perfect Schmincke quality so if I ever buy the Volcano red and yellow again (to have a granulating mixing option) I will definitely buy the pan. For DS paint (which I dearly love!) I found very good alternatives in the Roman Szmal paints (which for EU/Germany are available at Peter's Art in Berlin. Very good professional art store and online shop).
thank you… so helpful in choosing new colors to buy
So glad the Covid didn’t keep you bugged down! My family goes through a lot of extreme daily sanitizations since me and my mother have weak immune systems. I have a good handful of Daniel Smiths, plus some White Nights and the Vintage Pastel set of the watercolor confections (those have rebranded though I think they’re now called Art Philosophy but I’m not sure I purchased mine before the rebrand). I just love watercolors, they’re my babies, but my comfort color is White Nights coral, it brings me a sense of childish comfort
Aww, I feel so sorry for you and your mom, I am not blessed with good health and a strong immune system myself that's why I am super cautious, but I still got Covid from my dad, took my mask off during dinner and boom, of course I got it (after my 3 shots). I just got a bunch of White Nights after you told me about the Pastel Colour Confections - I decided against them because I saw that White Nights has a bunch of beautiful pastel colours and I heard only good things about White Nights! Needless to say, I also ordered their Coral now :D Yes, Gouache and Watercolours just spark so much joy ❤️
@@MoniDmajor We take Microban and spray down the entire house front to back twice a day, once in the morning and once after everyone’s come home for the night, and so far we’ve been blessed and lucky to avoid getting Covid-sick. As for the paints, I truly hope you enjoy them! They’re such a nice watercolor to use, White Nights have that nice creamy consistency, and it they’re so pigmented it barely takes a dip in the pan to get a good bit of paint. I’m serious, with me all it takes is two strokes over the pan with a water brush and I usually end up with more than enough paint with just two good brushstrokes (though my sketching is slightly smaller than yours so you may need like 3-4 or so strokes before you get a good puddle of paint) best of wishes and truly I hope your Covid recovery goes as smoothly as possible!
I highly recommend using the volcano red and orange to mix your own DIY schmincke shire and desert colors! I recommend Kim Crick’s video on those 3 sets to see how you can use up the volcano yellow and red since you dislike them. I’m sure you could also use the desert orange to make your own supergranulating colors 😊. I personally like all of them 😂
Can't believe I am just finding you now...love your videos! Today is my birthday and I am sitting home binge watching your videos and swatching art supplies! A perfect day! Thank you so much for sharing such fun content.
Oh my god, I am late!! Happy Birthday (even though it‘s belayed!). This sounds like the perfect Birthday to me indeed, swatching and having a good time with your art supplies and binge watching art youtube! I feel honored that you chose my company and I wish you all the best! Thank you so much 😊
This is the best swatches of these colours I’ve managed to find on TH-cam. Thank you for the clear close ups, beautifully done💯
Omg, you cant imagine how much this means to me because during filming and editing I felt like this isn't good enough and was worried the colours are not depicted very well! Thank you so so much, I hope this was helpful ❤️
@@MoniDmajor beyond helpful for my online ordering😁 for my wallet not so much😂
This is so helpful because I have 43 tubes in my cart and I'm trying to decide which ones I want to hold off of buying. Thank you
For volcano yellow: I wouldn't use this pure...but you can mix it with other colors and get a granulating effect...f.e. the DS sap green...becomes a little more yellow clearly...but also gets a granulating touch. The orange I didn't try yet but maybe the color gets a little less "heinzly" when mixed with other colors. Maybe you could make a video for us...trying different mixes?!
I am conflicted with the Volcano colours, because even though they behave awful on their own I heard they are great for mixes. I havent recorded it, but I tried some mixes and I am still underwhelmed. So many people can't be wrong, though, so I will definitely experiment some more
Absolutely fabulous!!😃👍👍👋
Aww, Jackie 🥰 Thank you so much! 💕💋
We seem to like same stuff. Rockwell “lapis brown” is really beautiful.
Beautiful colours :)
You swatch like I do and I’m here for it! ❤❤❤
Ooooh, now I‘m curious! Do you mean the arrangement of the swatches on the page or? Anyway, so glad you like it!
@@MoniDmajor the arrangement, yes, but the gradient and creating “interest.” It’s hard to put it into words but I love it!
This is soooo satisfying to watch 😍💙✨
Came from the art haul video and when you mentioned the two beautiful colors you were most excited about, I was like, gurl… don’t be shy come on and swatch it!!!
So thank you! am so glad I got to see the colors swatched hehe 😆💕
Edit: just remembered this, I really relate to having shaky hands and I’ve never heard any artist mentioning this before so thank you for sharing 💙
Thank you so much for this, of course I needed to share swatches, otherwise it’s just flexing 😛 Seeing swatches helps me so much with making a buying decision, so I hope this helped! And about the shaky hands, so many people have commented on this issue now, it seems we are really not the only ones who struggle with it! You can still make art and even though it’s hard sometimes it should not prevent us from being creative. Again, thank you so much for your kindness, it means a lot!
The forest set is amazing.
I agree! Thank you 🙏
woohoo swatching!
Yay!! 😄 Hope you like it!
Useful video 👍🏻 Thank you 😊
Thank you! Glad it was of help ❤️
I like the volcano set. I think it depends on personal preference.
I'm saving up to get that Deep Sea set, all the colours are lovely 😀
You will not regret it, I promise! I am still in awe, this set is truly gorgeous, I love blues! Let me know what you think once you tried them!
bills come first tho so might take awhile to get sadly
Buff Titanium and Rutil Yellow (Schmincke Horadam) are pretty good options for this sandy vanilla yellow shades.
Horadam Buff Titanium I have already (and like it a lot, could ba tad less dirty and opaque), though, this is probably the first time I am hearing of Rutile Yellow! Thanks so much for this recommendation
Your technique shows the paint granulation to very best advantage! Thank you. (And my fave pink is Quin coral!)
Quin Coral I end up using in every watercolour piece, it’s Queen! I am so glad you liked my swatching session :)
Oh my.....THANK YOU for such an amazing swatching video and letting us actually see the tubes, the pigments AND the actual granulation! Best swatching video I've ever seen on youtube. My favorite granulating daniel smith colors are serpentine genuine, hematite burnt scarlett, rose of ultramarine and they are simply stunning on cold press or rough paper.
Thank you so much for all the love and amazing feedback on my video! I love swatching videos myself and I hoped that I will do right by you, I also want to see the tubes, wether it's single pigments or not and of course a slower demonstration of the actual swatch! Thank you so much for the colour recommendations, too, I have a good friend who actually prepared dots cards for me, and serpentine is included, so so excited to check it out!
Hey 👋. This was super relaxing to watch. I just purchased most of these during Jackson's and Jerry's Artarama watercolor sales, but am just getting around to swatching them myself - they just arrived. I actually liked the volcano colors after they dried except for the yellow. Have you tried the Belgian Isaro paints? They are beautiful and I am waiting until Jackson's restock on 4/20 to get my hand on Nordman green and Icy Blue. Just very pretty watercolors made by a one person business in Belgium. Her grandfather or great great grandfather was a famous painter who has paintings in museums and her Dad made the machinery to make the paint ie mass produce it in small supply. She considers herself a "color" lady or expert. Interesting writeup on their website. Glad you survived Covid. We are supposed to get next variant in next few weeks that Britain experienced here in the US. Hope I avoid it.
Jessica, I hope you stay healthy and well, this is so frustrating we still need to deal with this pandemic with all the other bad things going on in the world. So happy you could splurge some on the Jackson's sale, I tried to but yet again Jackson's would not fulfill my order due to stupid restrictions when it comes to "toxic" paints aross countries. Even though I made sure to order just non toxic paints I still got that stupid pop up. I hear good things about Jerry's and I like their TH-cam channel, it's just not cheaper for me to ship here but I am glad you have so many amazing shops to choose from in the US. Thank you for all the info about Isaro, I heard about them on Kimberly's channel and I hope I will find ways to get my hands on them, because again Jackson's just does not like me (or maybe it's my countries fault they restrict it), and Jackson's never got back to my customer support emails. :(
If you have any synthetic ox gall, try adding a drop of that and 5 drops of water to the volcano colors you hate. It might take away some of the stickiness. They'll still be low tinting, but might be more pleasant to use.
Or use a water cup with a couple of drops of synthetic ox gall and let the paints sit with water on them for anywhere between 5 and 15 minutes before you use them.
My happy colors are Moonglow (DS) and Bright opera (Mijello) and Gletscher green (Schminkce) ❤️
I looked them all up and I agree, they are stunning! I am tempted to get the Gletscher Green but I am resisting hard, I have more than enough 😄❤️
@@MoniDmajor Gletscher green is a must have!!!! It's so prettyyyy.
I had to translate! On American art online stores, it is listed as Glacier Green. However, Gletscher Green is half German, half English. Running down the list of paints, I could not find it and finally googled it. Yes, it is a gorgeous color.
@@lindabay1491 Sorry for the misunderstanding, we are both german and I suppose and we weren't considering others there for a second, the joy about someone sharing my language took over
Hi! I don’t know how close this will be to what you need, but Holbein’s Juane Brilliant No. 1 might be a good Vanilla Yellow. Hope this helps!
Btw, I’m new from the recent art haul video and binged the rest of your content. I love your channel!😁
I have Jaune Brilliant by Shinhan and also Naples Yellow by Schmincke and both of them are definitely the closest to what I am looking for - you made a very good guess here!!! Thank you so much for your kindness, I am glad you stumbled upon me, I am still fairly new and small, but I want to post more often! I have a very time consuming and stressful day job (with the occasional night shift), so every video I upload is quite a project :) I love art youtube so much and most of all I love the converstations and exchange in the comment sections. Again, thank you so so much and have a great day, Abena ❤️
I had purchased the granulation dot cards so I could pick which ones I wanted to try. I laughed so hard at the watery ketchup 🤣
I should have done that as well, because I am not tooo impressed by Shire Green, I really thought I would like it and many do, but it behaves weirdly (probably because of Volcano Yellow in it) and I realize I would rather use my Schmincke Colbalt Green Dark than Shire Green. So glad I made you laugh about Volcano Heinz! 😂 It may be good for granulating mixes but the space in my palette is limited and if it does not make me happy why including it? Thank you so much commenting & SUBSCRIBED ❤️❤️❤️
I bought a half pan of Vulcano red because I've heard about binder issue in tubes, it's not my fav red but it's amazing in mixes! granulation/color separation is sooo in your face, really bold :) I got also a dot card with supergranulating colors and this Vulcano yellow colors (mixes from vulcano and shire set) are a big no no for me. Hard to rewet, it's like they are lacking pigmentation but they could be useful if someone is into light and subtle yellowy colors (I'm not😅). Your selection of colors from DS is amazing, very moody colors. Have you tried Misty morning from Roman Szmal? Very pretty greyish blue with hints of pink and turquoise. I could also recommend Przybysz Grey.
Thank you so much for this comment, I feel bad I did not do enough research beforehand, I would have gotten them in pans instead of tubes. I got them to have granulating mixing options and even though I am not fond of the looks I am now very eager to experiment with mixes! The olcano Violet and Brown look so good after all and they have the same pigment. I own so many vibrant colours already and that's why I chose so many moody colours this time :) Misty Morning I just ordered btw, I heard of it and in fact I even followed a video by Kimberly Cricket, she created a dupe by mixing Cobalt turqoise and Quin. Coral and I must say it looks stunning! Still, I wanted to try the original by Roman Szmal and since I was curious about RS paints anyway I ordered a bunch (also Przybysz Grey) :) There might be another Swatching Video around the corner!
@@MoniDmajor Yay! super excited for your new swatching video :) The way you talk about paints it's like I'm listening to my inner dialogue when I do the swatches 😂And since you have Volcano Red you could mix a Desert Green (if you have a cobalt green dark pg26 in your collection). Spending money on something art-related that was praised by others and then regretting it because it doesn't suit your style or preference - been there, done that. Don't be too harsh on yourself for not researching enough :) Sometimes it's just a guessing game if it will work for you or not
@@cherryola5503 Omg, Marta, I do have a Cobalt Green Dark! I had my eyes on the Desert set! Thank you somuch for this tip, I will try that specific mix, so excited! Thank you so so much!
Vanilla color : schmincke brilliant yellow deep , no 221 👋
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Volcano Heinz! I’m crying! You’re fucking hilarious!
Omg, I am so glad I made you laugh 😂
Wonderful soothing swatching. Really enjoyed it. As for a vanilla yellow - check out Holbein Jaune Brilliant no. 1 :)
Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for the tip, I got myself Jaune Brilliant No. 1 and it’s perfect!
@@MoniDmajor Awesome!
Very nice video! I might be in the minority here, but I actually like Volcano Red. I don’t own it (yet), but have seen it in action in other videos and it looks like it might be worth trying. I do love Quin Coral and have it in all my palettes. Cheers! :)
Actually, this is so good to hear that there are people who enjoy and find good use and value in them because I don't want anyone to feel the disappointment I had :D I must admit even though they don't travel as well they make for very good mixes. Yay, Team Quin Coral! ❤️
Nice video, keep it up, we are all with you, pray for the prophet
Thank you!
Oh wow,I bought the volcano set with 3 colors and all 3 of them are beautiful,I wanted to buy the volcano yellow in a single tube,I have the feeling only the big set is shitty
wow! I'd love to see you swatch there Rembrandt Chameleon colors if you haven't already😊
I should add, interference colors don't appear on white paper. I like them best to add a vibration to a base color. What colors you layer give dramatically different looks.
This is good info! I haven’t yet but I saw them elsewhere and I didn’t know you need to paint on a dark surface, I have zero experience with interference colours but I wanna try them!
@@MoniDmajor They are lovely on dark paper, but imo they are most beautiful when glazed over a color. They shift the color and add a little iridescence. The effect seems like it would work well with your art style.
Have you tried Schmincke Tundra colors. They’re beautiful.
Juane Brilliant might be a yellow you're looking for.
You are right! I got Holbeins Jaune Brilliant No. 1 and it’s perfect! Thanks for the tip!
If I could get my money back, I would return all of my Schmincke granulating watercolors. For me, I think the colors are dull, dark and pretty much ugly. I think that I will try mixing them with white and maybe get some interesting pastels. I wish I had seen this video before I bought them. I like Masha's Watercolors on Etsy. They granulate beautifully and all of her colors are vibrant. My favorite mass manufactured paints are Daniel Smith and QOR.
The Volcano Red and Volcano Yellow are both very difficult to rewet and are very low tinting. You did not get a bad batch, the paints are actually that difficult t to rewet. Spray them and wait for 5-10 mins before using them. Alternatively, use a stiff bristles brush to take paints out of the pans.
Love love love Luna Blue . Did you like Moon glow more than Deep Sea Violet or Haze Pink? I have Moon glow but actually thought that Sea Violet and Pink Haze might be better. The 3 of them looked really similar on the video. Are they?
That’s weird because they are not at all really similar but it can depend on the device we’re watching the video on. I’ll describe the colours in a gradient from thick to light wash: Haze Pink is a Cool Grey that goes to a Light Pink, Deep Sea Violet is a Dark Purplish Ultramarine Blue that goes to a Light Peachy Yellow kinda colour. I can’t decide my favorite 😆 They are all so stunning! But I admit, I don’t reach out for Moonglow that often, but maybe it’s because I also have a bunch of Roman Szmal paints that have very similar vibes to it :)
@@MoniDmajor thank you so much for your detailed response. Maybe one day when I win the lottery will try them all.🤗
What is the watercolor paper brand and type you used in this demo?
I always list my materials in the video description and I double checked if I didn't say it in the video, luckily I did: It's Arches Coldpressed
I had the same yucky gummy light tinting strength with yellow, orange and red in the volcano series and three in the shire set too.
I messaged the seller. She divided tubes and made 1/4 pans. I think we all got a bad batch. It has turned me off, as I had high hopes. Some channels that came out earlier with volcano swatches, were different.
Rutile yellow by Schmincke may be the pastel vanilla yellow you are looking for.

I totally get your frustration, some people here are aware of the issues but my understanding is they still like these colors because they make for amazing mixes that add granulation. Meanwhile I experimented with mixes with said colours and I am still underwhelmed. Preferences can vary so much among artists, it’s crazy 😜 Thanks for the Rutile Yellow suggestion, so many mentioned this colour and I think I will give it a try!
@@MoniDmajor Some youtuber watercolour artists have had issues with Super granulating, Volcano and Shire from both pans and tubes. Now some artists are having issues with standard artist Horadam weakness in cadmium red, lemon yellow, and Ultramarine Finest in pans.
Others seem to have rich colours. We all need to speak up.
I bet they are aware of this problem, and that their quality control didn't pick it up.
Is it a second place to manufacture or is it just the wrong ratios of gum arabic?
I emailed Schmincke today, so I will let you know how I get on.
It is disappointing and yes, frustrating.
I hope it is an error that Schmincke will address by returning money and replacing colours.
In kindred spirit,

I am waiting for a special painting
Aww, I hope I can get to record a painting soon, it's been a while! Glad you want to see some art ❤️
Hello Moni Dmajor I hope you get the chance to read this. This is a PS to my original comment (which I did think of deleting but I didn’t). I was persuaded to overturn my personal ban against oxgall, because I haven’t banned cow products altogether so why ban oxgall? I hope you’re doing well. Bye for now. 👋
Hey Shadow, so great hearing from you! Don’t worry about the oxgall thing, we can change our opinion anytime without having to justify it infront of anyone. It’s harder sometimes doing this on social media since people are quick to jump and call you out on it but at the end of the day we need to do what we think is right, as long as we have peace with it. I personally always let people buy and use whatever they want, what others do does not affect my own life. Sending you hugs and have a great day, Shadow! 🌼
@@MoniDmajor Hello again Moni Dmajor. You’re wise and level headed. I was nodding in agreement with what you said ☺️. Thank you for your reply and take care! ❤️
All the colors you hate have a really low tinting strength. The yellow is very, very pale. The red is a granulating form of cadmium. Both terre verte behave like that in every brand, again, low tinting strength. You said you're not a pigment person, but if you looked into the pigments, you'd realize they are behaving exactly how they're supposed to. Not all pigments behave the same and that's the necessity of at least understanding a little about pigments. This helps in not wasting your money on something you won't like. They're not garbage, they are just pigments which don't vibe with your likes/style.
You are right about everything, the properties just don’t suit me. Thanks for explaining this to me, I definitely gotta educate myself more about pigments and play around
I would definitely like to try them but unfortunately most of them are not nontoxic :(
I am so sorry, I always forget this is an issue for many people. Thank you for reminding me of it, makes me think I gotta be careful when I work with them.
@@MoniDmajor No problem:) A lot of people forget this and even I sometimes like a color so much that I get sad when I learn it's not nontoxic. Take care of yourself!❤️
Unless you eat it or breathe dry particles such as when sanding it's almost impossible to have a problem. It's not really dangerous at all.
can i know where did you get your keyboard? its VERY important
I got it as a gift last year, it was a limited edition and I think it’s no longer available, last time I checked it was not, get asked a lot about it
Oohh damn, well thank you very much!!! Its super cute! 😍
Unlike Quin Coral which has excellent lightfastness, Moonglow has a fugitive red in it. Also, Rhodonite is non granulating.
Thank you for the info, another person corrected me at the time of release and I stickied that comment.
💥 Is it too late to ask you the company name of the lovely black paint brush that you used ?!
(I did check below but didn’t see it. 🤷🏻♂️)
- If you don’t remember, I’ll understand. ;)
(…after all it has been a year already. 🙂)
♥️ Loved watching you swatch‼️
Daniel Smith is top of the line. 🥰 However they do harden and shrink a lot, when not being used.
- Not a game changer though.
▫️
THANKYOU 🫶
It's a da vinci Kolinsky-Rotmarder brush,size(6)
Rutile yellow from Schmincke looks kinda vanila-y yellow
Omg, you are right! Just looked it up and it comes close! I think when I run out of Nickel Tiranite yellow I will try Rutile next - Thank you so very much!
I don't understand why you youtubers buy these paints instead of just spending 8 dollars on a bottle of granulation medium. If you didn't get them for free would you pay for these paints?
I tried several granulation mediums and don’t like the look at all, it’s not the same, and yes, I actually paid for them, where exactly did I say I got them for free?
Hey Moni! I hope you see this since we were dming on Instagram, my account got hacked and I don't have another way of contacting you. If you get a message from my hacker please ignore them! Working on getting my account back now
Oh no! I heard from other people they experienced this, it’s so sickening! I am sorry this happened, Willow :( Hope you will get your account back asap! I am at work today btw but I saw that you made a new video and I can’t wait to watch it! Thanks for informing me and hugs!
@@MoniDmajor Thank you! It is sickening, and the support for IG is basically non-existent! At this point my account might be gone forever, I'm just glad I was able to notify people so they hopefully don't get hit by the same hacker. Ugh. Grateful to still have YT and the community here!
Thank you its very relaxing swatching that accompanied me during me working on water color, the color you swatches are also very beautiful, Im suprise about your comments about Arches paper, that paper are luxurious paper in my country and verymuch expensive, also famously as the best paper for watercolor, because the price, I myself preferred Hahnemuhle watercolor, but everytime I use arches is just wow, price dont lie 🥲
See? This is what I mean 😂 Everybody loves Archges, so maybe there is something wrong with me? Anyway, the less Arches I buy the more Arches you Arches lovers get to buy 😂 I am glad you found it relaxing and picked my company during your painting session, Arches, I feel honored ❤️ Have a great day!
I'm still so sad that I sold the rest of my haze set,I didn't even fill the half pans to the top😕 at that time I didn't know It was the most expensive set of all and sold it to cheap🫤
Your video was fun and very informative. Seeing the granulating Daniel Smith colors was a joy. Unfortunately I can’t buy Schmincke professional watercolors because they contain oxgall. 😭😁
Shadow, I hear you! Thank you so much for this comment, it just made me realize that I am absolutely uneducated when it comes to vegan art materials. I am not vegan myself but I try to use as many vegan products as possible anyway, be it in food or elsewhere. I did not know Schmincke Horadam is not vegan. Feeling like an idiot now, and it's so unfortunate, too because here in Germany Schmincke is the go to professional art brand that is fairly affordable in comparison to brands like QOR, Holbein and Daniel Smith. Also, meanwhile I have bought even more paints from Schmincke :(
@@MoniDmajor I posted a long comment but unfortunately it got deleted. Anyway don’t feel bad…. I didn’t mean to do it! I’m not vegan either but I avoid oxgall, animal hair brushes, and gelatin sized paper…. looking at you Arches. I’ll post a short hand comment about my latest obsession which is to go down the DIY granulating watercolor route from watching various videos (Kimberly Crick is my main source) and some other TH-cam channels. I can make granulating watercolors from using PBk11 (Daniel Smith Lunar Black) or PB29 (ultramarine). I already have ultramarine so I need to purchase PBk11. I’ve been experimenting to make DIY granulating watercolors. They are not always successful or as pretty as Schmincke, but oh well, I can’t have everything, and that’s fine. 🤩
@@MoniDmajor use up what you have and make lovely art. ❤️
