It would be super helpful to incrementally add white so that you can more clearly understand the tinting strength. Super excited to see you try the isaro, I’ve been really curious about that brand for a while.
Cally, I have a strong hunch that that Isaro comes mixed with white. It is lighter, more opaque and looks more "chalky" than the other two. I have heard that it is not that uncommon for bottles to be mis-labled. I have ultramarine light from Titan (a company from Spain) which I believe is a similar color to the Isaro and is mixed with white,
Hey Cally, I'm an amateur artist from Dublin Ireland. I was just wondering have you ever tried out Quinacridone Magenta? It's a single pigment Magenta that's absolutely gorgeous! It's also really useful for making red and really vibrant purple and violet shades. It's one of my favourites
I haven't fully tried out quinacridone magenta, as I've been using a LOT of egyptian violet lately and didn't want to be 'too pink/purply', but I'll give it a solid try!
@CallyKariShokka oh nice one! I must have a look at Egyptian violet! Definitely check it out. Its really versatile. It can be really vibrant or more subdued depending on what blue you use and it doesn't really go muddy if you add white (at least in my experience). It's a really cool one though!
It's the same pigment code, but Isaro has extracted it from a different chemical to what Michael Harding has - hence why it's slightly lighter and leaning more towards semi-transparent. PB29 is also the same code for Lapis.
There are several shades of ultramarine blue. Some leaning towards green (ultramarine green shade), others leaning towards violet (ultramarine red shade) and some in between. For example, one I use in watercolors is almost a version of cobalt blue but darker. All are PB29. Just because a reputable brand uses one version doesn't mean it's the best for everyone. Having more options is an advantage. 😉
@@lophoflora I agree with that - and if there's too many brands using the same variant, then you're not offering the customer anything new. Ultramarine as a pigment is incredibly versatile, Ultramarine red and violet are derivatives of the same thing. The greener leaning PB29s are a superior choice to Cobalt in my opinion.
I doubt she put white pigment in her ultramarine just she choose that particular shade, Sennelier also have a similar shade of Ultramarine at least in their watercolor, i think french people have a different idea of what a ultramarine should look like, she come from a family of oil paint maker and her workshop where she make paint is impressive, I try her yellow Ochre and other earth color they are pretty amazing with a slight granulation and their chroma are really beautiful..

...Well that's just SNEAKY and also false advertising technically.
Probably just more extender pigment like calcite
