I love the jewel tones so I love the deeper tone of the Schmincke PB 16. And based on your mixes I see that PB 36 can make a great cyan in a CYM palette! I can't wait to try mixing with that now.
I can't tell you all how many times I have watched this video. I adore turquoises/aquas/teals. And I love the color mixes that Irit chooses. I can't seem to get what I call the "spectrums" (wide line of paint where color A is on the left and color B is on the right...and the beautiful spectrum of mixes is in the middle) to look like Irit's spectrums. However, I will continue to have fun while practicing!! Happy painting everyone!
Sennelier Turquoise Green is one I prefer to Daniel Smith Cobalt Teal Blue- its strikes me as lighter & brighter. But its not like ill be disposing of the DS....still a useable color. These color mixes are lovely- I’d not seen this video, and I was playong with similar test colors last night. Pretty, pretty stuff 🤩
I love Helio Turq ❤️ and the Sennelier phthalo turq. (I think the latter was my first "I'm buying a tube" non-gift *absolutely love* turqs. I was just doing Helio Turq + Winsor red for a black and that's an _amazing_ mix. (Black panther... wanted the brown and leopard spots, but it just needed to be a cool black/grey mix. Stains hard though! Qor cobalt teal is right here too, though.
I bought the Sleeping Beauty Turquoise after reading someone rave about it (I think maybe Jean Haines but she didn't put it in her DS starters so maybe I'm wrong). I love it but wish it came in a smaller tube. It's not something I'm going to use up anytime soon. Just wondering if you knew where your palette came from? Just filled mine up and have been looking for one with deep wells like that.
Have you tried Daniel smiths cobalt teal blue? It’s gorgeous and super bright, from what I see through your camera it is very close to the one you said was the only one of its kind that you know of :)
I have Daniel Smith's cobalt teal blue, it's lovely indeed, made of PG50 and most brands have such a color in their line up named cobalt teal/turquoise. Not sure if you mean the first color I show on the video, Schmincke's Helio Turquoise- staining non granulating and single pigment (most brands have similar turquoises made with 2 pigments) which is quite different in my opinion in tone and qualities than the cobalt teals...
Love love love these colours. I have all of them except the Rembrandt one. Can't live without it and I appreciate all the different mixes toy showed. Some really interesting options there with the earth tones 😁👍🏻💖
Hello Irit, I love 💓 turquoise! What great mixes! I currently have Schminke’s Helio T. and Daniel Smith’s Phtalo Turquoise but am loving The Lukas and Sennelier ones - to add to the ever growing Wish List 😉💕. Beautiful 🥰, looking forward to next week’s colour mixes. Thank you for sharing, keep well, 🌈🎨 Valérie 💕🤗
Thank you once again. You have inspired me to play with the colors in my pallet that I currently have with the paper I already own. I don't know about there but here in the states, pricing on tubes of paint and on paper have shot up. I have some cheaper paper I can use up first to really get to know the supplies I already have. I tend to always want the new product, colors, whatever. Since I had been doing multimedia and creative journaling I have all kinds of all kinds of supplies. Hope you have yourself a great weekend and stay well.
I also have the Lukas cobalt teal, I think it will last forever it is so huge! For watery turquoise/aqua I like Daler-Rowney viridian, very very pretty, I prefer its mix of cerulean (pb36) and pg7 to the more overtly named turquoise shades which are heavily phthalocyanine dependent also mixed with pg7, they are quite harsh and very staining. But the cobalts win every time, even student ones, because the pigment itself is so much truer.
I love combining turquoise with potter's pink, that's one of my favourite combinations in watercolor - I've seen some absolutely stunning art made with just those two. I love turquoise in general tbh. Two of my metal palettes are bright turquoise 👍😂
I always thought while paint shopping do I really need potters pink? No it is hard to rewet and yeah it is pretty but I don't know for what I would use it... now I am shopping online today and I read this comment. I love all the turquoise colours so maybe I really need potters pink now. Thank you for this comment. 😅
I see Yellow may be next...if so, I’d love to see Naples Yellow (my new fav because of you😀) and Nickel Azo Yellow for sure. Maybe also cool/warm. I’m loving this series Irit! Thank you so much. It’s good that I have most of these colors you are using (or maybe it’s bad...haha!). My collection is growing too rapidly and now I’m in the process of swatching to keep myself happy with what I already have....I hope!
I agree, especially if Naples Yellow is in the mix. I love Irit's use for it, especially in her abstract florals. My Naples Yellow gets mostly used in sunkissed clouds since it pushes the blues away beautifully, and also mixes well with red for sunsets.
Helio turquoise is useful for making interesting lively neutrals and blacks if you mix them with warm reds. It sound weird to talk about lively blacks but I don't know how else to describe it 😉
The turquoise with the red earth pigment is so nice. Also with the potter's pink. It's a nice balance of heavy and light. I have a pan of cobalt turquoise but I would like to have some that is more green. The Lukas seems to be a good value. I want to buy the potter's pink, too. I don't need it but it would be fun 😊
I bought several Roman Smalz (?) watercolor full pans from Jackson's, mostly because i wanted to try the Aquarius green and Przybszy's (?) grey. I included the cobalt teal at the last minute and I'm so glad i did! It's gorgeous, super vibrant and nowhere near as streaky as other cobalt teals. If you haven't tried it, i really recommend that one in particular.
Really enjoyed this Iris! I’m loving the Sennelier cobalt green and turquoise green. Not sure if I got the names correct. 😂 Also love Qor cobalt teal. Love the greens with nickel azo + more muted and earth colors. I love it all.🤷♀️ So happy you are doing this color mixing series. Thank you!💕
This year, Daniel Smith released Phthalo Blue Turquoise, which uses the single pigment PB16! I'm wanting to get it to replace the regular Phthalo turquoise convenience mix. From the swatch I've seen online, it looks similar to that Schminke shade you have.
I love Turquoise 💕💕💕I pretty much own them all except the Rembrandt Cobalt Cerulean Blue and that looks interesting to me. Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see the New CCB in action😍
Yes Turquoises!! Have to have all three main colours. Helio Turquoise I find lovely with granulating colours, like Potters pink and Sodalite. Even with Serpentine to make a really vibrant colour. Cobalt Teal from Sennelier is my favourite, but I haven't tried Rembrandts version.
Turquoise and Teal are my favorite colors 😊 I have only 3 in my collection but I love all of them. - Azure Blue (White Nights) - Phthalo Turquoise (Daniel Smith) - Cobalt Turquoise (Schmincke) All of them are nice in their own way. And I also like to mix Cobalt Turquoise and Quinacridone Violet. And sadly... I'm running out of these 2 colors.
Yes azure blue is an amazing color I also love the white nights cobalt turquoise. I also love to mix mine with quinacridone rose or violet it makes such beautiful granulating mixes.
How does the Rembrandt pb36 compare to Daniel smith cerulean chromium pb36? I’m due to replace the DS version but I love Rembrandt’s formula. I recently received a 5 ml tube of schmincke pb16 helio turquoise- I’m excited to experiment with it! Thanks for this video.💗
Turquoise! 🙌 I started off with W&N's cobalt turquoise. Although it was a bit chaulky, I still liked it. When I saw Schmincke's helio turquoise, I fell in love with the color however when I used it, I found it to be quite staining, more than my preferred taste. Then, I saw DaVinci's cobalt turuoise and cobalt turquoise deep, both PB36 💘💘💘. My ONLY complaint is after 3 weeks of drying in a fixed travel palette, the paints were dry to the touch but underneath they were still moist. Other than that, DaVinci's turquoises are my favorite followed by W&N. Thanks for the video!😊
Yup helio turquoise is quite staining and I don't use it a lot nowadays. I'd say it's actually ideal to have juicy paint that is dry on top and thus not messy... I prefer paints that rewet fast!
Hi Irit, thanks for the video, I have a question regarding the mixes, which Rembrandt ultramarine do you have? I am in the Netherlands so Rembrandt seems like a good idea as I need a new tube but I'd like to be sure to order the most granulating version, is it the French ultramarine or the other one? Thx
I do like this series Irit but I would have loved you to have played with your watercolour mixes during this video rather than just talking through something you have already done.
I bought a pan for sennelier emmerald online, and its not that beautiful minty green that u always mention, its just another emmerald that I wont use up 😥
@@iritlandgraf By the way I meant to ask, I saw you're using a Gerstaecker paper block. Would you recommend it (and if yes, which one is it exactly from their different watercolor papers?) Sorry if you made a review about it, I checked but didn't see one. Thanks in advance for your opinion on it.
Hey Emma! For future reference, if you have a question it's best to write a new comment, as TH-cam does not alert me of new responses to old comments, only completely new comments, and I'd hate to miss a question! I do like the paper, it's nothing special but the price is right! I have the 30x40 block 300GSM , 50 sheets, it only says Aquarell classic on it and is a blue cover- www.gerstaecker.at/GERSTAECKER-AQUARELL-CLASSIC-Aquarellblock.html hope that helps!
holbein have a single pigment phthalo turquoise, called marine blue! its the one currently in my palette, ive switched out both my phthalo green and blue and opted for this middle ground instead 😂 its a prettier color to me, and mixes beautiful greens with my qor green gold! ds sleeping beauty turquoise genuine has been on my wishlist for so long... its a shame about the lightfast issues 😭
I love the jewel tones so I love the deeper tone of the Schmincke PB 16. And based on your mixes I see that PB 36 can make a great cyan in a CYM palette! I can't wait to try mixing with that now.

Please do more of these color comparisons of watercolors, as I find it very helpful. How about doing purples next? Thank you!
Great suggestion!
I like these series. Hope you’ll do more
A few companies have PB16 -Maimeri Blu and Holbein come to mind - I prefer Holbein Marine Blue PB16 to schmincke PB16.
love this colour but don't actually think I have any watercolour of it lol will have to look in the drawer:)
It's so good!
