I didn’t buy this set but over time I have accumulated almost all the colors from this set except for opera pink. I watched a lot of color swatching/mixing videos and just couldn’t resist the beauty of these colors. Absolutely gorgeous!
I bought this set last year and loved every single color and still use most of them, buying 15ml when I can. Opera pink was my least used of this set. Nickel Azo Yellow and Red Aussie Gold, Cascade Green a few favorites. Enjoy!
I really enjoyed this video. I’m getting back to painting after children are grown and I loved the Daniel Smith watercolors in this particular set. I’ll be purchasing them today from your link provided. I have a little grand daughter that will be painting with watercolors and I’m excited to share mine when she’s over visiting… or I’m at their home..
WAY helpful tip you gave! Newbie here. You said that the 5ml tube fills a pan with possible slight extra. Now I know what I'm comparing when I choose my first set of paints! Thank you!
I'm sooo glad you did a painting with these colours as swatching videos don't really give you any idea how the colours interact and blend with each other - I just don't get the point of watching a swatching video at all... - your painting turned out lovely, I would never dare to paint anything as busy as that salad!
I just received the “Colors of Inspiration” half pans from Daniel Smith - also an amazing set - and my first pan purchase from DS (as opposed to tubes). I haven’t even done a painting yet, as I’m busy with oils this week, but it does have quite a few of the same colors. Love Daniel Smith, and having discovered Undersea Green as well as Serpentine Green this week, I’m champing at the bit to paint with them! I’m diving in as soon as I set my canvas aside for my underpaint to dry, and hitting the new watercolors! Thanks for the video - love the salad!
You are SO talented especially at being able to mix colours and apply them. I bought most of her colours because they were so vibrant and interesting but I didn’t know what subjects they would suit. Your salad was amazing but way over my skill level. Thanks for sharing with us 🌸
What a great idea - putting the small 5 ml tubes in pans . Since I prefer using pans this is especially great . I love your channel and was excited to see you try this set. Thanks . I too am a Daniel Smith fan.
The painting that you produced, which was different to your usual subject matter, is spectacular! You are so talented and inspiring. It isn't just your use of color, the values and lighting in you paintings are always so enticing. Swatching any DS set would be very popular on TH-cam, I didn't realize there are so many sets.
I got this set last month as a birthday gift and rounded out the palette in almost the same way - Hansa yellow light and french ultramarine. I also added Quin gold, Permanent Alizarin Crimson, Potter's Pink, Viridian Green, Cobalt Teal, Cerulean Blue, and Payne's Grey. A word of warning - this set has a lot of granulating, colors. I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the granulation, actually, which surprises me because usually I love granulation. The duotone colors, too, can also throw you off. But it's been fun to work with. Your salad painting came out wonderful.
I have the DS mixing set with 6 colors but also bought that Green Apatite Gen because I adored how it dried to look almost like it had a leather texture.
What a beautiful job you did on the salad! It looks so real. I have this set of paints but haven’t used them yet. I’ll have to get them out and paint with them.
The cascade green and lunar blue are beautiful, I think I want those two colors in my pallet. A really nice painting of the salad, thank you for sharing!
I think it would be interesting to see your thoughts on DS's Ultimate Mixing Set (not to be confused with their Essentials Mixing set), which was originally released as Jane Blundell's mixing set. You might have all the colors already and could duplicate it yourself, so you wouldn't need to actually buy it.
This is a beautiful salad 🥗 painting. Thank you so much for this!!!😁 I don't have Daniel Smith paint set 😕 but they look so good. I hope I can try it with my Faber-Castell watercolor pencils and see if I can get it to work as well.
Lovely painting, have just bought this set and I wondered if the 5ml tubes would fill my half pans…and you answered all my queries regarding the colours etc, thanks for doing this video.👍🇦🇺😎Max.
Beautiful work as always! I don't have the Jean Haines set but have all the tube colors, so I'm excited to try out the full tutorial onsite, even though it does look a bit intimidating!
Funny, I did a salad painting a few weeks ago, very similar, but it took me some adjusting to find the right colors and mixes. I love Jeanne Hanes work and love these colors. I am surprised that she included Opera Pink.
Hi! I either trace using graphite transfer paper, freehand sketch, or do the sketch on printer paper then transfer. Sometimes I use the grid method with watercolor pencils so that the lines will dissolve.
I have this set and put them from the Tube in a Pan and almost all are sooo hard to re-wet because they are like gummy after drying 😞 Even putting a lot water in the pans will not effect it - like the gum-binder is like a hard skin "over" the paint and not in the paint...
I’m thinking you just had to do plenty of mixing experimentation before painting? That’s the part I struggle with as I don’t intuitively know what colors would go together to create what I’m looking for😢
@@AyaSmith I have been at this for about 5 years and people say, "oh this is a red leaning blue or a green leaning yellow" and I just don't see it...so now I'm just memorizing the necessary information.
Opera pink and lunar blue both glow in Black light the lunar Blue is Awesome.
I didn’t buy this set but over time I have accumulated almost all the colors from this set except for opera pink. I watched a lot of color swatching/mixing videos and just couldn’t resist the beauty of these colors. Absolutely gorgeous!
I totally agree!
Gorgeous drawing of salad🤩
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! You are so easy to listen watch! Ty
i just discovered the daniel smith coral tube and it’s my new favorite color! so beautiful if you haven’t tried it i recommend 😊

You make this painting look so real. I signed up for your classes. So excited to get started!
I’m so glad! Welcome, Patricia!

Hooray for new paints!
Not sure I can paint like you, the salad looks so real! I 👍
Thanks so much 😊
Loved this. I will definitely get that set. I learned so much. I would love more videos like this. Thank you.
Thanks, Alice!

My pleasure!
THE TOOTHPICK TIP! Next time definitely utilizing it. My paint just sits in little blobs in the pans lol
Hah hah-I did that too for the longest time!
Sooo lovely. I love videos like this because there is so much variety of information in a short time. ❤️
Glad you enjoyed!
Aussie red gold is great color.
🙌🙌🙌
Cool painting. Love this demo. I've just bought a Daniel Smith set.

Bravo! amazing, fantastic +++
Love this! Definitely gonna try it!
Lovely painting and review. Thanks
I’m fascinated and intimidated by colour mixing. Such a rookie. Thanks for the info, the painting is so realistic!
It definitely gets easier the more you "play"! Thanks as always for your nice comment, Glenda!
I always love a great salad! But wow did you make this look so fun!! 😍 great painting!!
Thanks so much, Jackie!

i never thought of painting a salad

Yay!
Solid information! They are beautiful colors 😍 thanks for tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
I have this and love it, it's my go to palatte
Those colors are so beautiful!!! I was tempted to get them but…. I already have a lot of colors and unopened! I ll think about it,
What a paint for demo🙉
Ive been wondering about this set for a long time ! Thank you for showing this .
My pleasure!
Loved this!
loved this demo!! what a beautiful set :)
Thank you! It was fun to try!
Fun to watch you paint and very inspiring! Thank you for all your tips:)
Thanks, Rachel!

Very colorful and inspiring.
Thank you, Emily!
Have you tried the June Blundell mixing set by D.S? I’m very curious about it as an intermediate beginner.
I haven’t tried that one! Good suggestion!
Thank you
I am a beginner. How do you do transfer lines into the paper? Do you have a tutorial on this process? Thank you.
Hi! I either trace using graphite transfer paper, freehand sketch, or do the sketch on printer paper then transfer. Sometimes I use the grid method with watercolor pencils so that the lines will dissolve.
This may be a silly question, but did the 5ml tubes fill the entire full pan? Even when dry?
Some dried up really “tight”, so I could have fit a little more paint, others filled the pans perfectly. Seems like it depends on the colors.
@@EmilyOlsonArt thankyou, this is so helpful :)
I have this set and put them from the Tube in a Pan and almost all are sooo hard to re-wet because they are like gummy after drying 😞 Even putting a lot water in the pans will not effect it - like the gum-binder is like a hard skin "over" the paint and not in the paint...
Hmm, that was not my experience-- so sorry to hear that!
I’m thinking you just had to do plenty of mixing experimentation before painting? That’s the part I struggle with as I don’t intuitively know what colors would go together to create what I’m looking for😢
That comes with experience. I can mix any color I want or match any color with any brand or any primaries, intuitively.
Also, the paint colors don't have to match the photo or real life exactly, it can add some excitement to your painting to change them up a bit :)
@@AyaSmith I have been at this for about 5 years and people say, "oh this is a red leaning blue or a green leaning yellow" and I just don't see it...so now I'm just memorizing the necessary information.
Hello sis please suggest paint brushes
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯💯💯💯
What to do if you need brown…. Anyways I have all but 3 colors. 🎉
Browns can be mixed-purple & yellow or orange blue mix great browns!
@@EmilyOlsonArt Thanks, that doesn’t sound too hard! 😁
If you need a really nice Caucasian skin tone that is especially good for young children you combine yellow ochre and opera pink!
Ooh yes!
