Thanks for the great video. The shortcoming of Zorn's palette was that he couldn't produce good blues from it. Would he have been able to correct this if he'd had Chromatic Black then?
his paintings were all very harmonius, and didnt seem to suffer from a lack of blue. He didnt paint the sky or the ocean of course, he painted people. You cant use it for everything, but it gives beginners excellent guardrails. One of the first problems beginners have is too much color saturation in their paintings. The old masters had blue, but it cost a kings ransom, so normally, they never used it either
I think it’s helpful to younger artists to take the black tube of paint away from them just so they don’t overuse it. But if you can harness the power, it’s probably the most powerful paint “color” you can wield.
That would be exactly the opposite. You must master black and the other neutrals asap. It’s entirely fundamental as well as learning about tinting strengths-not to mention cheaper . Adding “color” is secondary and more complicated.
if you are a 19th century impressionist painter... if you have a fetish for pigments... if you think that the only good painting style is Sorolla's... then don't use black
@@ShellyJCoxArtistall non neutralized tubed blacks are chromatic. Everyone strives to make and use black. Tubed blacks can be easily made even more intense in color chroma. Kids need to actually LEARN.
Ultramarine blue + raw (typical) or burnt umber was a common scumble and glaze mixture used in the 19th century nicknamed "moonglow" for its use in nocturnes but also to reactivate dead shadows by adding a broken color aspect. A common chromatic black (also very transparent) was sap green+alizarin
I wish you would have used both colors in the "Artist" line and NOT one from the "1980" line and the other from "artist". Everyone knows the 1980 line is way cheaper and less pigmented.
A great video: simple and straightforward. (The double portrait, by the way, is by Frans Hals, not Rembrandt.)
Oops. Thank you so much for letting me know 😊
I mix my own black because it looks more realistic ❤

I believe that he would have been able to get a slightly more saturated looking blue from the Chromatic version. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻🎨🌼

Zorn had the capability to make chromatic black…he didn’t always limit himself to the now known “Zorn” palette anyway.
Thanks for this
Happy to do it! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻👩🏼🎨

Hi Tyler. Totally agree. Thanks for commenting 🙏🏻💕

That double portrait is not a Rembrandt
Thanks for letting me know. I believe it was an Anthony Van Dyck.
Chromatic Black looks green to me.
Yes it can. It’s made with blue, red, and green pigments. I like it for its transparency. Thanks for your comment 😀. Happy painting 🎨👩🏼🎨
the undertones give red to me, the masstone more green, but for many, thats a good thing. More 'lively"

So true. But the Chromatic Black will help get black back onto palettes 🎨😀
Never left my palette…own them all

Also, making black costs more…which I would rather my expensive paints be better used and last longer.
@@richiejourney1840 just going by info provided from Gamblin.
Gamblin could have created a black by mixing ultramarine blue and burnt umber instead of going nuclear with phthalo emerald.
Yes I get it. But that is why it is called Chromatic Black. 👩🏼🎨

@@devolution1971 in a glaze did it crack since umber is so fast drying?

Yes that would have been better.
