I want to frame this and hang it on the wall, it's so beautiful! I have several Primateks, but haven't played much with mixing them. Guess I will, now! Thank you.
Stunning! DS should have sponsored you to do that mixing chart. Gorgeously done. I don't think that is proper grammar and I don't care. Gorgeously, stunningly, beautiful.Thanks.
This is THE BEST , THE MOST GORGEOUS color mixing chart I have ever seen on TH-cam! And this video makes me want to collect all the DS Primetak colors!!!
I love how when you did the close-up pan-over with your camera how it often appeared as though you were looking straight down through ocean water into the rock/coral below. Anyone who wants to paint such types of scenes could almost have these paints do all the previously hard work, for them! This chart took a lot of time to prepare, so I thank you for your efforts! Also, on a side note, two thumbs-up for the cool, retro, digital Casio watch, love it! :)
Oh Oto the chart is just so beautiful, even the places where it washed out some like the lapis just adds to the beauty of what the natural Primatek series gives you. Thanks for reminding us and showing us the way of seeing that.❤️
Beautiful color chart ^___^ Purpurite is just everything I hoped Rose of Ultramarine would be. Kyanite, Sodalite and Zoisite mixes are just magestic. Music goes very well with the dreamy granulation :D
Oh hey, this is the style of mixing chart I prefer. ^_^ Referring to the strengths of colours as opposed to one side being watered down - though of course I can't deny loving the Primateks themselves. 💕 So much sparkle! So! many! teals!
Wow! Somebody has been very busy. Love some of the primatek colors. My favorite semi precious stone one is bloodstone genuine, the green perylene and the Minnesota pipestone. I can't suppose I could keep getting more but I'd better make use out of these. The granulation makes for a great leather look without having to work at it. Thank you for swatching out those wc.
I want this or a poster of this in my room to stare at the beautiful granulation all day! Maybe I’ll try this with the few primatek colours that I have from the 6 set that DS sell. It won’t be as beautiful at this but I’ll be able to whiteness at least some of awesomeness that is primatek mixes!
lovely. I haven't explored mixing them with each other, so thanks for the inspiration. I also have the 2 bronzites, not sure if they will mix like yellows or browns. this will be fun.
I missed this video when I came out. That is one STUNNING chart. The biggest surprise for me is definitely the amazonite mixed with amethyst. I never would have thought to mix those two together even though I own them both (and mix greens with purples all the time) but it might be my new favourite colour.
Esoterically awesome video! And thanks for taking your time moving over the mixes, instead of making us stop the video constantly to view the results :) I'm so excited to try new mixes with my colors now, especially Diopside. I already know that Piemontite mixes beautifully, so I do wish you had added a reddish Primatek like Piemontite or Red Garnet to see those mixes--on the other hand, it wouldn't have been as dreamy as it is with just the purples, blues and greens! :) This makes me more apt to buy the colors on my wish list very soon--Sodalite and Serpentine looked particularly useful. I'd like to hear other viewers experience with Lapis Lazuli--I just don't have the same issue as you do (at least when I pour off the excess gum arabic) and I think it's a decent mixing color.
The reason why the red Primateks aren't in this mixing chart is because this is a mixing chart of colors I covered in my Primatek series already. The series covered the first 18 colors in the DS color chart. I did cover Lapis Lazuli in the series so check out that episode to see what experience others had with it.
Omgoodness!!! Love these mixes!! I can see so many possibilities for their use. Now off to mix the five I have, I had read elsewhere they were not good mixers but how wrong was that! It looks like more expense for me. Lol
I think they often require high quality paper and careful mixing. Also just use fresh from the tube don't pallet them. I've got the Mummy Bauxite and it works more like a regular colour mixing normally and rewetting easily so I can say that one (sometimes listed as primatek sometimes not) is fine to put in a pan and also feels more 'regular'. I've seen other reviews and swatches/mixes and they really show up much worse in every way on cheap paper. I'm considering for the future. Fun and informative video, thanks!
Wow...I have never seen texture like this with watercolors before; at least, not without outside help like from saran wrap. This is cool! I am slowly building my stash between the tubes and the color sticks....i am loving the more earthy, natural tones of the primateks, and many of them are high on my wish list (except the lapis lazuli, haha.)
Thank so so much for doing this chart. As you noted, no yellow or oranges. I'm planning a series of paintings of historical site where I live using all prima tek. Trying out mixing other Daniel Smith with Prima Tek to give me to two missing colors. Have you done any experimenting to fill out the pallet?
I've discovered that I love playing around with granulation and other "odd" textures when doing abstract painting. Things that would drive me mad if I was trying to paint an animal create the most beautiful abstract "landscapes". Some of these mixes would be some beautiful to use.
I've got to admit, I made some borderline lustful noises watching this episode. That texture. . . gooooorrrgeous. Definitely wanting to make a color chart with the ones I have now. * o *
Spectacular combinations! May I ask what you use for your grid lines? They look far too consistent and perfect to have been frisket. Is commercially gridded paper with the lines embossed or coated available?
omg, I did try to close my eyes, but I couldn't help it....those lovely lovely colors, those sparkles, those textures...Now I desire them all!!! But no, no no.....only a few, but which ones to chose...decisions decisions...
This has to be one of the most gorgeous mixing charts I've ever seen.
It's certainly the prettiest one I've ever made Mary! So glad you like it. :D
Gorgeous and beautiful. They look like mini marble slabs.
Wooo mini marble slabs. That's such a great way of describing them Christina.
I still come back to and recommend your posts to my friends. Thank you for all your great advice.
Now I know why I Love Daniel Smith paints so much!!!
That lapis is so sad 😂😭 beautiful chart though. Thank you so much for sharing these lovelies!
LMAO I know, and I really really scrubbed away at the paint to get as much color as possible. Just sad.
What if you soaked the color in order to run off the binder and get more actual tint.
This is a piece of Art on its own!
Suddenly the price of these is starting to seem worth it, haha!
lol I agree with you. They are really beautiful paints.
I want to frame this and hang it on the wall, it's so beautiful! I have several Primateks, but haven't played much with mixing them. Guess I will, now! Thank you.
So glad this video has inspired you to get mixing with your own Primateks. Really hope you have a lovely time doing it :D
Stunning! DS should have sponsored you to do that mixing chart. Gorgeously done. I don't think that is proper grammar and I don't care. Gorgeously, stunningly, beautiful.Thanks.
This chart and your work is so perfect, thank you for sharing 🩷 I love primateks
This is THE BEST , THE MOST GORGEOUS color mixing chart I have ever seen on TH-cam! And this video makes me want to collect all the DS Primetak colors!!!
What a stunning mixing chart. I could gaze at it for hours lol
I would buy this chart as an artwork from my wall, it´s so textural and beautiful. Green is my favourite colur and it shines in this chart
Thanks!
Oh my goodness! Sparkle AND granulation 😍😍😍
I could hang that chart up on a wall as is and love looking at it all day. Just gorgeous
I agree with you. We should make wall papers from color charts :D
I'm broke but now you make me want to buy these colors. Your mixing chart looks so pretty. These colors are literally magic
Admire the patience you put into making these charts
Thank you for taking the time to do this, Oto! Have we all told you today that we love you?! Because we do! You're a fantastic human!
Oh my goodness, that's so much work. Bless you for the effort you put into these videos!
Aw thank you Kaidusa. It's totally worth it :D
Brilliant, thank you so much! 🎉
These mixes look like nebulas! WoW! So beautiful that I think I will watch the video on loop mode :-) Thank you so much Oto!
I love how when you did the close-up pan-over with your camera how it often appeared as though you were looking straight down through ocean water into the rock/coral below.

Rhodonite makes some lovely mixes
Oh Oto the chart is just so beautiful, even the places where it washed out some like the lapis just adds to the beauty of what the natural Primatek series gives you. Thanks for reminding us and showing us the way of seeing that.❤️
You're so welcome Mikey!
Gorgeous!!! 😍
Beautiful color chart ^___^ Purpurite is just everything I hoped Rose of Ultramarine would be. Kyanite, Sodalite and Zoisite mixes are just magestic. Music goes very well with the dreamy granulation :D
I know what you mean about the Purpurite being better than Rose of Ultramarine. It's the delux version
Wow! This is awesome!
What a beautiful chart. I have been dreaming of an all Primatek palette and seeing how they mix and is supper helpful. Love this
Love love love the deep greens with the black granulations!
This chart is incredible in itself, the colors are gorgeous :O
Fascinating
Looks so gorgeous
Serpentine and Rhodonite are a great combo!
I agree Rebecca, beautiful mix.
Oh hey, this is the style of mixing chart I prefer. ^_^ Referring to the strengths of colours as opposed to one side being watered down - though of course I can't deny loving the Primateks themselves. 💕 So much sparkle! So! many! teals!
AMAZING! Thank you Oto!
they are all sooooo beautiful!
Wonderful! I agree with the "most gorgeous" as said below. Thank you!
Aw thank you Heidi :D
V e r r y interesting mixing with each other, over all they played nice with each other. Great !!!
I agree with you Essie. They play so well with each other :D
That was SSSOOOOO satisfying
Wow! Somebody has been very busy. Love some of the primatek colors. My favorite semi precious stone one is bloodstone genuine, the green perylene and the Minnesota pipestone. I can't suppose I could keep getting more but I'd better make use out of these. The granulation makes for a great leather look without having to work at it. Thank you for swatching out those wc.
You're so welcome Jennie. Your comment makes me want to do a season 2 of the Primatek series to cover the neutrals!
Soo cool! Thanks 😊
That was fascinating! I have never seen the Primatek colours swatched out! I’m definitely going to try some of these❤️
So much texture! Love them.
Yes, it's granulation galore!
Wow! I'm thinking that with a few exceptions these colours would make my prefect palette. Thank you for doing this!!
You are so welcome Jen :D Thank you for watching!
This is so gorgeous that I want to cry
You've def helped me decide which of the primatek colors i want....theres maybe 3 or 4.
That is a fantastic & informative job. Thank you.
Wow! That is a lot of work! Great job Oto. Beautiful chart
Aw thank you Mary, glad you like it :D

I bet the 6 color set will make a beautiful mixing chart as well Hannah. Have a lovely time making it.
lovely. I haven't explored mixing them with each other, so thanks for the inspiration. I also have the 2 bronzites, not sure if they will mix like yellows or browns. this will be fun.
wooooo that's a good question, one I am fascinated to find out as well. Maybe there will be a season 2 :D

I hope you have a lovely time mixing with your beautiful primatek colors Kaz :D

These are gorgeous, reminds me of stained glass!

ha ha yes, not the lapis. Never the lapis 😂
That granulation is gorgeous~!!!! 😍😍😍
Yes, they all have such beautiful granulations.
What paper did you use for this chart?
This is beautiful! Thank you so much for all the work you did getting this together...subscribed!
Oto, this is beautiful!!
Beautiful colours 👍
I agree with you margaret :D

Amazingly beautiful! I don't think I saw a single swatch that didn't granulate at some level. Now I wish I had some Primateks!😄
I agree, I'm pretty sure that all the Primateks I tested for the Primatek series granulate.
Hi..the depth of your color mixing videos is great to learn from, permatex color line has 36 colors,do you plan on doing the other 18?🤔
I just started looking at the Primatek colors, this video was really helpful!
So glad this video is useful, hope you enjoy the Primatek series as well Amanda :D
I found this truly interesting and love the way you do your charts Oto xo
So glad you like the color chart Angie :D Thanks for watching!
I've got to admit, I made some borderline lustful noises watching this episode. That texture. . . gooooorrrgeous. Definitely wanting to make a color chart with the ones I have now. * o *
ha ha ha so glad you enjoyed it. Have a great time mixing with the ones you have!
AMEN!
Hi, what is the music you used on this video? It’s lovely and soooo relaxing!
So much beauty 😍
I agree!
Spectacular combinations! May I ask what you use for your grid lines? They look far too consistent and perfect to have been frisket. Is commercially gridded paper with the lines embossed or coated available?
I used a 3mm wide masking tape for the grid lines :)
omg, I did try to close my eyes, but I couldn't help it....those lovely lovely colors, those sparkles, those textures...Now I desire them all!!! But no, no no.....only a few, but which ones to chose...decisions decisions...
now THAT is a tough decision Ulla. Do let me know what you decide :D
Beautiful chart!!! I wish I have the patient to make a chart like yours!!! May I ask what's the best way to use DS Primatek watercolors?
The textures are amazing. Some even look like marble. Could I ask where you bought the tape you use to separate the blocks?
Eve from the channel Eve bolt sent them to me. It might be 3M brand? I'm not sure though.
I want to hang that chart on my wall!!
I want this mixing chart as a quilt
Oh no, this is a really bad video. Now I want all of those Primatek colors! Lol thank you for doing this video, very helpful!
Shhh don't tell anything my wallet said no... 😂😂😂
I like what I see so far! Beautiful mixes! I see few drops on flowers and trees
So glad you like it Luba :D
How do you get this effect? I have the same paints and don't get the same look. Is it ROUGH paper you are using?
Gorgeous jewels! (wink)
They are!
although muted they still look nice, tfs
Yes it's a little bit more muted than what I am used to but I really can appreciate their beauty too!
Yes! I've been waiting for a video like this! They all look so gorgeous but I'd be too intimidated to actually use them in a painting...
They are a dream to paint with, so please don't feel intimidated by them :D
Can you pan primateks?
This makes me want to spend all my money on primatek tubes 😂
Totally. Worth. It. ;)
Is it just me or does it look like Serpentine mixed with Rhodonite create a yellowy looking color? Is that accurate or is it just my screen?
I thought the same thing!
