Hello all! I *know* how fast I'm talking in this video and I do apologize to those of whom it bothers, I was in a pinch to get this done! However, you can always adjust the speed setting for any TH-cam video in the bottom right hand corner using the gear icon. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I will see you all when I get back from ALA! Be sure to say hi if you're in the area!
Denise, whoever said watching paint dry is boring clearly didn’t know you or watch your videos. Thanks for another fun, informative episode and series.
!! I'm so glad you like my Burnt Umber to the point of including here!! Thank you so much! :) Brown colors are a bit underrated in general, it's so easy to forget that they make beautiful mixes with many other colors. I don't know if that's planned, but I'd love to see your favorite palettes (to put the paint in!). Have fun at the convention this weekend! :)
I thought about telling you sooner but I wanted it to be a surprise, haha. It's so gorgeous. Browns have never been underrated in my book, but I know I'm not in the majority here haha. And yes! I really want to do an updated palette video soon! :)
I hope you review the Rublev natural pigments at some point. They have a remarkable range of natural pigment browns and I would be curious to see how they compare to more familiar brands of watercolor paint. Their web site is www.naturalpigments.com/.
Despite how boring brown can be... I just love it! lol! These are some fantastic choices! The good thing for me is that when I'm too tired and not paying attention, I can make brown when I'm not even trying! lol! Another great tour on these colors! Thank you! :)
These reviews are SO helpful! I love the way you are swatching them; it really helps me determine what paints I really NEED in my travel palette (I usually want ALL the colors.) Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers
Nice list here! I love Burnt Sienna as well. I have two versions I use- the Cotman I use for skin tones and shading, the M Graham I use for hair, nature scenes etc.
I love the browns. Just yesterday I filled a tiny tiny childen's palette with the split primaries, but felt like lost somehow. I do not see the world in primaries. I added "all the PBr7 colors" in the little slot that was meant for the tiny brush, and instantly felt relaxed. I need my browns. I need raw umber. I love raw umber. I live in Finland, and sometimes life here is raw umber.
My favorite brown by far would have to be Vandyke brown. My version isn’t a single pigment, but it’s such a beautiful, chocolatey brown and mixes to make great blacks and more neutral tints. I often use it straight from the tube for brown skin tones and it works beautifully.
I guessed your top 3! I must say I don’t really use PBr25 at all but I do love Mijello’s version of this color. I don’t own any raw umbers yet, but i find that Daniel smiths PR101 (Venetian red) is indispensable when I’m mixing skin tones, as I do a lot of portrait painting. I also took from two of your videos (Prussian blue color spotlight and how to mix your own convenience colors) and went on ahead and mixed my Prussian blue from winsor and newton with my DS Venetian red to make my own half pan of the perfect neutral grey that they create together. (I call it Prussian grey or Russian blue)...I make lots of grey cat paintings now! Anyways, great video I’m so glad you decided to upload it this week. Made my day! I’m looking forward to the rest of this series! ☺️👍🏼
That all makes me so happy to hear! The Russian Blue (love that name) sounds very similar to the PB60 mixture I showed here. It's my new favorite versatile grey. I find this one is rarely perfectly neutral, but I love that it slips from warm to cool so fluidly!
In Liquid Color I’m now so obsessed with mixing my neutrals that I want to dedicate half pans to each mixture, except it’s not the most practical watercolor tool I need right now. 🤷🏻♀️
These videos are so helpful as learning the colors & so many brands have same name but don’t all look the same! So far waiting on a 24 set of Da Vinci & have a few DS colors. Mix acrylics also & so important to use colors that work together or get mud 😊.
Once again, very enjoyable and informative video. Just a little information here that you might find interesting; Winsor & Newton used to put out an oil color burnt sienna that had the following properties: deep mass tone, a burnt orange glaze and a pinkish, salmony tint with white. This matched descriptions of the genuine natural burnt sienna given in books about pigments written fifty or more years ago. Most other companies were putting out pinkish toned, lighter in mass tone, semi-opaque burnt siennas just like we see today. Some were a bit more orange, some were very pinkish, but all shared the opacity of today's burnt siennas to a great degree. Winsor & Newton's modern burnt sienna is transparent iron oxide, as you know, PR 101. Where it differs from their older version is that tints with white are orangey instead of pinkish. Except for that, transparent oxide red is way more like the older W&N PBR 7 than any of the other burnt siennas I am familiar with, whether oils, acrylics and watercolors that are currently available. It was a marvelous color to paint with. A possible modern mix to duplicate the old PBr 7's characteristics? Might work with a mix of transparent orange shade of PR 101 with some benzimidazolone brown to your wants, PBr 25.
I think ive been watching too many of your videos. i just got my first lot of daniel smiths and half of them are earth tones. but seriously thanks for these videos, they are really helpful and soothing
I'm starting to have an appreciation for browns more and more now that I am testing out new brands. I really love the burnt umber for it's versatility and also the terra rosa for the same reason. Great review! I'd love to see what you think of a variety of brushes?
Hi Denise, again another insightful look into colours - I’ve absolutely looooved ALL your colour spotlights & this series as well & I’m looking forward to seeing more. I’ve recently bought a Potter’s Pink tube from Schmincke & I’m wondering if by any chance you’ve ‘played’ with this colour at all? Apart from using it for skin tones or florals I don’t quite know what else to use it for or mix it with - I bought it because I saw it in Liz Steel’s palette so I thought it might be useful - have you mentioned it in any of your videos? I’ve watched all the colour highlights & colour favourites as they were published but can’t remember if Potter’s Pink was among any.
Hi Magdalena! I have not played with it much, no. I've used the dot sample on both the Schmincke and Daniel Smith dot charts, and the Schmincke was much easier to rewet. However, I didn't have enough to really experiment with. Not sure for color mixing. but like the terra cotta, I imagine I'd use it for soft pink areas like noses and ears. Skin tones and florals as you mentioned seem like they'd be good too! Sorry I can't be of more help!
I fell in love with DS raw umber at first swatching from their dot card so it's first (and only) brown in my palette. Still debating whether to get py 42 or py43 next. so hard to pick one D:
All of Daniel Smith's yellow ochre-ish colors are lovely. They have a lot of options which can be confusing, but I think my favorite is still their basic yellow ochre :)
Finally I have internet strong enough to watch- I have been wanting to watch this since upload. I dont know what exactly the equivalent is but Mijellos Pbr7 - Van Dyke Brown -> which i think darker than the Burnt Umber here or just basically darker cooler Burnt Umber is my fave watercolor of all watercolors. Even before Mijello - the first set I have have same color and I just love it on its own or mix with Ultramarine or any green I have. Pbr25 which Mijello has a version is one color I never thought I would miss in a pallet. So I made this new pallet and I did not put it in since I felt I have enough red tones and that they will cover the spot but comes painting - I desperately looking for the tone lol. Its in certain mixes that I cant replicate with the other. Lesson learned I put it back in.
I totally agree about Mijellos PBr25 and PBr7. Their Van Dyke is similar to a raw umber but I totally love it.. I just don't have access to enough of it to add it to a palette affordably. Their red brown is the first one I used and then when I ran out, I looked for another option again since theirs aren't affordable for me here and found one from DS :)
You might try a juicy mix of the Terra Rosa with Phthalo Turquoise (mine is DaVinci). Very very dark (a little blueish chroma), and also very lightfast.
I really like Qor's version of Raw Umber, which should always be a cool brown. The Winsor & Newton's version is a bizarre yellow-ish brown colour. The M. Graham and Daniel Smith versions are good also. I never thought of mixing it or Burnt Umber with PV19 (Permanent Rose/Quinacridone Rose) but that colour it yields is just stunning! You should try mixing Prussian Blue and Raw Umber for a surprisingly nice and useful green also. :) I have long preferred Burnt Umber and Ultramarine for a dark grey/black colour and was given this tip by the British landscape artist, Terry Harrison, who is no longer with us. He used this mix extensively to depict the unlit sides of buildings and barns. Permanent Brown is also a lovely colour. Not sure I need another tube of paint but it will probably find its way on to my shopping list soon. Have you ever tried Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet by Daniel Smith, which is PR206? Schmicnke also makes a beautiful version, which is very similar called Madder Brown. A stunning colour and one of my favourites. The very talented landscape artist, Michael Reardon from California, uses Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet quite a bit. It is one of my favourite colours. Thanks for a very interesting and enjoyable video, Denise. :)
Thank you for all of your insights like usual Conor! I too was surprised by and really love that burnt umber red violet mixture. I need to use it more myself! Eve actually just sent me a sample of the quin burnt scarlet! I haven't gotten to play with it much but it's on my to do list :)
I'm eyeing either Daniel Smith or Qor to collect. I do like Qor's sets more color wise. I think they are very well curated. But everyone seems to like Daniel Smith more in general. So I'm torn. Please anyone comment if you have a strong opinion on this :)
The earth tones from Daniel Smith are the best, colors from Qor seem to be very bright in general, a little harder to lift and less granulating than DS. I've heard some YT artists say that the Qor blues are exceptional, but have only tried their Cobalt Teal and Indanthrene Blue (somewhat lighter and greener than DS version). Depends on what you do and personal preferences. Don't think you need to make a choice, collect some of each, maybe try the high chroma set from Qor and one of the mixing sets from DS. I'm a huge DS fan, especially for landscapes--just love the depth, texture and behavior, but hope to add a few Qor paints to my collection.
Hi, there! Is there a video where you describe the colors you use to mix with the Top 5s in each video? I'm guessing you mix all of the Top 5s with the same 10 colors. I'm curious to know why those particular colors. One of the things I love to do most is swatching. Although I have been playing with watercolor for quite a few years now, I consider myself very much a beginner and swatches are so very important for me! I will definitely try a version of your Top 5 swatching in the near future.
Just curious; is there a specific reason you don't use the Daniel Smith version of Raw Umber? I'm looking at swatch comparisons online and I notice that the D.S. version is just slightly less dark and a tiny bit more greenish. I just wanted to confirm with your opinion/reasoning since I trust it so much!
I am new to watercolor. I can only afford one brand and I chose Daniel Smith. I want to start with the color wheel colors. Could you tell me what colors you would choose, straight from tube the primary, secondary and tertiary colors. I need to learn to mix colors but also need to see what is cool and warm and need an example. Thank you
The Essentials set contains Daniel Smith's warm & cool versions of yellow/red/blue for a great mixing set, includes Hansa Yellow Light, New Gamboge, Quinacridone Rose, Pyrrol Scarlet, Phthalo Blue Green Shade, and French Ultramarine Blue and is usually priced at $30-35USD.
As far as browns go, I’ve been really liking transparent brown oxide from Daniel Smith a lot lately, but I really need to give that Da Vinci Burnt Sienna a try it looks like!
I'd like to know how do watercolor painters actually use granulating and non granulating paints, since I think they have their own applications, especially after getting difficulty why some pigments like to be reworked over and over and it still look rather alright, and some prefer alla prima/all at once application, and many other variables. I don't paint with watercolor more than merely color inside the lines, but there is still that difficulty, that actually makes me keep exploring new things in watercolor. I think sometimes granulating pigments don't like to be applied thick for clean coloring, as if the granulation disturbs the clarity, especially around midtones and highlights, but it is still useful for certain things, for sure, I don't just dislike something giving up on it's possible better use 😅
'Watercolor Granulation and Forest Painting'? your explanation there makes it seem that common word about Holbein's tendency to be less granulating, might be due to the lack of ox gall on it, and I think it's backing up it's popular uses among Japanese-styled illustrations for being less granulating, although recently I've been seeing W&N and Talens being used around their community too. Well, above specific characteristic of paint brand and granulation levels, I think clarity and simplicity of process to be less fussing around is still number one in watercolor though imo, and I learned that it is also a good mindset to carry over to other painting mediums, even digital c:

Thank you John! I'm so glad you like the series :)
also that separation with m graham's terra rosa and cobalt teal looks like it could be good in painting rusting metals or really old oxidized copper
That sounds great! I'll try to give it a shot!
Yes! I was just about the comment with the same idea! That would be a GORGEOUS patina!!!
!! I'm so glad you like my Burnt Umber to the point of including here!! Thank you so much! :)

YES i've been waiting for this, you can never have too many browns in a palette imo
Ooh that Cobalt teal made some very interesting granulating mixtures! Loved your picks! And the video is so well put together, as per always.
Thank you so much Milena!
Despite how boring brown can be... I just love it! lol! These are some fantastic choices! The good thing for me is that when I'm too tired and not paying attention, I can make brown when I'm not even trying! lol! Another great tour on these colors! Thank you! :)

Fabulous
I guess the browns right on Instagram!
:D Yay!
Winsor and Newton’s Raw Umber is much nicer
in my language "terra rosa" literally means "pinky ground/dirt" funny to see this xD
Very nice 😘👍
The Terra rosa and Cobalt Teal looks like rust.
I agree!
