I just got a little too excited upon realising that you have a youtube channel after only knowing you from your fab blog haha :) thanks for all your resources!
Love! Mine are mostly Schminke. They're pretty great but I think I shouldn't have panned them. The DS primateks are nice, but for me (a newb) I'm struggling to paint over them with a similar hue (including piemontite). I had some Senneliers I didn't think would work, but they have a Warm Sepia that blows my socks off. About to dive into DS earth tones (already have the Primatek ones); so this is a good video for me. Thanks!
Thanks, Jane! I love all these colors, but I'd like to learn more about how to use Buff Titanium and Grey Titanium--while not doubt useful, I'm at a loss as to how to use them effectively in landscapes and urban sketching. Piemontite has become one of my fav landscape colors, it was interesting to see it next to Indian Red. I thought it would be more similar, but Piemontite has a much darker masstone. Hope to see more videos in the future, or will see you next time you teach at the DS store!
If you look at my website, you'll see buff titanium again and again in my urban sketches. Have a look here www.janeblundellart.com/plein-air-sketches.html I often mix it with Goethite for sand, sandstone and marble. I also use it for trees and landscapes. You can see I here www.janeblundellart.com/gallery.html too. Gray Titanium is much newer and I've added that to my palette out of interest. I think it is most useful for urban sketching - particularly concrete! Though Jane's Grey and Buff Titanium mix to a similar hue for that.
And yes - Piemontite, while in the same 'earth red' family as Indian Red, is different enough to be a useful addition. I love it for rust. I include both burnt sienna and transparent red oxide even though they are both in the 'earth orange' family, and there are three earth yellows there as they each mix and behave differently.
I feel like Indian red is a color I don’t hear a lot about, but I always think it’s so beautiful when I see it. Glad to see it’s one of your favorite earth tones!
It is one of the very few watercolours that can be totally opaque if you use it thick enough. That can be very heavy, but I love the delicate dusty rose colour you can get if you dilute it. Fascinating in an earth triad as an earth red.
love all of the informative information you have on your blog and the swatches you put up. I wish there was commentary on your videos on TH-cam however. I find it very odd and difficult to watch a silent movie 🤣. Thanks for all you do
I have a number of deaf students and people from all over the world who, of course, speak many different language. So for some of these videos I've allowed them to be more universal by being commentary free. However I am gradually adding more videos and some will have a commentary.
This is the first I'm seeing Gray Titanium from Daniel Smith. It appears to be very similar to Da Vinci's Buff Titanium in hue, which I always found to be quite gray relative to other buff titaniums.
It is PW6, which is titanium white, but obviously a different version from the PW6:1 of buff titanium or the PW6 of Titanium White. I don't use it a lot as Jane's Grey mixed with Buff Titanium is similar. However it does have its own characteristics.
thanks for sharing these paints. My favorite was not included: Monte Amiata Raw Sienna. It positively glows and serves as my warm yellow in my palette and works well for my landscape palette, less garish than my beloved original formula of Quinacridone Gold . Minnesota Pipestone works as my earth brick and red stone pigment. I considered Indian Red but per Daniel Smith tip for using this "hit it once and walk away" that I took to mean it has a high potential for making mud in a mix, so I settled on the Pipestone. Your thoughts on this please? I have to admit that I am drawn into using some of these paints by the romantic and historic descriptions given to some of the Primateks by Daniel Smith
I was at my local art store today and the owner told me to watch your channel as I am building my Daniel Smith palette and the colors are so much eye candy that it's hard to choose. Watching this video I know I need Indian red at some point. Thanks! The store is Iron Oxide in Nanaimo BC.
Hi Jane. I discovered you through the net when I was searching on how I should start picking up the first basic set of watercolors. You have been a tremendous help to me and also the knowledge you have provided brought me learning and reflection. I am interested to getting a set of earth tone colors as firstly I like earthy tones and wanted to learn how to paint with it instead using standard colors. I wanted to focus on buying an affordable yet good enough quality brand instead of buying different brands. I believe a set of 6 will do. I came across QoR earth tone set of 6. It is not easy to find one with only earth tone in a single set as I goolged a lot. Could you provide me some advice? Thank you. Take care.
I tend to prefer to choose my own colours. A purely earth tone palette is quite limited, so a blue is useful. It could be a primatek blue such as Sodalite Genuine or Blue Apatite genuine, but I tend to go with Cerulean Chromium as an 'earthy' blue. I add to that Yellow Ochre (or goethite, but yellow ochre will be more yellow) and Indian red, then burnt Sienna and raw umber. I'll then add Jane's Grey for convenience or Buff Titanium as it is so useful for natural studies.
Jane, I am so excited to find your TH-cam channel. Totally love your blog. From the reviews you’ve done, I know that you are reluctant towards M Graham and Sennelier because of Australia’s humid whether. I also live in Sydney and was wondering what are some artist brands that you would recommend for our part of the world as many other artists on TH-cam are either from the states or U.K... Thank you so much!
There are many great brands available in Australia. I use Daniel Smith (available in many places though I tend to go to Art Scene in Ryde), but also recommend you consider Da Vinci (available from Pigment Lab in Newtown) and Schmincke (available from many art stores - I particularly like Art Scene and the Sydney Art Store). One of the advantages of Schmincke is that you can get tubes or pans, in larger or smaller sizes. Da Vinci and Daniel Smith offer a few pan choices but are largely tube paints. Choose your colours carefully and have a great time with them :-)
thank you so much for getting back to me Jane. I do hear great things about these three brands, and thank you for listing some art stores.i will be sure to check them out. Just budget wise these three brands do cost a fortune lol...
I just adore your swatching so much Jane, you are awesome! Could you tell us what degree slant your board is at painting these swatches? Thanks so much!
Hi Jane! These are beautiful earth colors! Do you mind listing the other colors in your palette? I would love to know them! Thank you for sharing this video!
I've shown all my current palettes on my website here www.janeblundellart.com/my-palettes.html. This is the second one - the Herring Compact. It's the one I use most for travel and sketching as it is light-weight but holds 42 (or more) colours with ease.
Dammit! These are so good. Like getting that majestic Indian Red from simple PR101. And the Bnt Sienna is the richest and most elegant- I could go on. You see I am a Hater and Boycotter of DS- they are so expensive and full of sh1t- like the shocking Primatek fiasco (why is nobody suing them?) They did well to get Jane Blundell to bring them some respect. BUT there is class in their range. I guess one day I shall get some of these earths. (I include Prussian on my earth palette- that's iron too, so that's an earth then.) Jane, you are a marvel.
I've used Daniel Smith watercolours for 28 years now - since just a couple of years after they were first introduced. They were the first company to give pigment information on their tubes. The first to use quinacridone pigments. The first to create sample dot cards so people could try them out. They work straight from the tube, or dried in the palette as I generally use them, and I love the granulation of so many of the colours. So they just work for me, and for the way I work. There are many many other brands out there, so we are spoilt for choice and there is something to suit everyone 🙂
@@janeblundellartO I just remembered! I got that DS 15 pigment selection you did for them (and swatched beautifully on Utube- I got them because your swatching won me over; and the boxes are cute; and they were on offer, discounted and with a second (empty) box included... it was too good to miss. Never used them yet- except for swatching them out. Best regards to you Jane!
Hello, please teach the new colors and shadows in the rectangles and show their composition in each rectangle, as well as drawing the face and coloring it and showing its different shades in the rectangle, such as the types of cream and red-green and their shades. Thank you for your efforts🌻🌼🌻
Just loving the tones and depth of colour in these water colours
I'm very late but I'm so happy to see this beautiful work on colours. i apreciate thanks

I considered including that one as it is lovely but chose to show the ones I use most. I mix Quin Gold with Goethite to create that granulating glow.
I enjoy listening to both your accent and thought process...
But damn! the silent video just seems so powerful, and strikingly beautiful.

Thanks great. Nice to know my videos are useful :-)
I am completely coveting the wheel/pie-shaped container (I saw it in the green study too). May I ask where you got them?
Very nice water tank!!
I would love to know the size of that mop brush

Hi Jane, can you tell me what pan box ure using here? Thank you ☺️
It is a hand-made brass palette from the UK.
You can find "naked" palettes that are exactly the same and don't cost an annual income.
I just adore your swatching so much Jane, you are awesome! Could you tell us what degree slant your board is at painting these swatches? Thanks so much!
My drafting table is set up at an angle of about 20 degrees. I like to have a little bit of help from gravity while painting :-)

Couldn't see very well as camera was too far away from the paper !
Alison Jones if you view on a computer screen you’ll see more detail. My camera is as close as I can get it without it bumping into my head!
