A Flip Through The Book of Colour Concepts - Volume 1

When I saw this book advertised on Instagram, I thought to myself: I have to have it. Then I saw the price - £150... Luckily, my birthday was coming up soon so I didn't have to wait long to add it to my personal library. The Book of Colour Concepts has two volumes and discusses colour theories between 1686-1963. The book is multilingual and contains text in English, French, German and Spanish. ...

I received a set of A.Gallo's Naturale 36 watercolour paints as a Christmas gift last year and I think it's time to swatch them. 🙂 This set is a "complete collection of exquisite earth, mineral and plant based pigments from the Mediterranean basin to the forests of Sumatra, from the mountains of Chile to the volcanos of Iceland" (www.agallocolors.com/shop/naturale-36). A.Gallo added new paints ...
Swatching Deep Deep Light watercolor paints - the rest of my collection
Переглядів 5364 місяці тому
Hello and welcome (back) to my channel! 🙂 In this video I'm swatching most of my Deep Deep Light watercolour paints from the rest of my collection, including some samples. It's difficult to pick a favourite from this selection, however I really liked lapis lazuli (Baikal), rosehip (which I believe is a mix of permanent yellow light and contemporary vermillion) and caput mortuum (PR101). While m...

Hello and welcome to my channel 🙂 I've heard a few people talking about Essee handmade watercolours so I purchased some to try them out. I chose the Impressionist palette 1 (there's also Impressionist palette 2) as it contains natural tones and some accent colours which seem like great mixers. I also purchased the Antique blues palette and the video is coming soon 🙂. First impressions: these ar...

That looks pretty amazing!
Thank you :)
They are so beautiful! But what is the wrapping paper? I’ve never seen that before it looks almost like butcher paper
I think it’s some sort of Kraft paper, precious cargo is well protected while in transit :) Thank you for watching
More loveliness!
Thank you! Can't wait to get my hands on this set now. 😍
I hope the wait is short :) Thank you for watching :)
2:20 Cool! I’ve only seen this in black and white. It is fascinating to see this table in colour.
The illustrations in this book are amazing!
@@thecolourswatchstudio They ate indeed!
That is one HUGE volume!! 😂
And it only weighs around 3kg :) Thank you for watching.
@@thecolourswatchstudio 😳😳. 😂.
All of those swatches and those few ‘splodge’ pages!!! Beautiful. Thanks for sharing, was curious what was inside the intriguing cover.
Thank you for watching :) This book definitely has given me plenty of ideas for colour swatching.
Fantastic! Thank you. Added the set to my wishlist a while back and want them even more now, thanks to your video. 🥰
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the video, these books are definitely worth the purchase. Thank you for watching and your lovely comment 😊
You got it!!! 🎉
Thank you :)
So nice 💕
:)
Hi, I have a few palettes that I have recently brought, the moon and Moods palettes, truffles set and Antique Earth set, they are stunning colours, that re-wet easily and just beautiful I will definitely be buying more from this company. They come delivered from Italy. 😊xx
Antique Earth sounds interesting, I need to look into this. Thank you for watching :)
Beautiful colour palette. I have yet to buy some Deep Deep Light but will do soon most definitely they are so gorgeous
Deep Deep Light paints are beautiful. Thank you for watching :)
A nice set to use on landscapes! 🙂
It is 🙂 Thank you for watching.
I want this!
They are worth the purchase :)
Green Earth Cool looks very strong for a PG23.
I agree :) I usually pre-wet the paints before using them so it would have been around 15-20 minutes before I got to swatch this particular green earth. However, just to make sure I added 5 drops of water to the paint today planning to test it in 15 minutes. I remembered about it 2 hours later and I can confirm that the colour is accurate - the paint also felt like gouache so this particular PG23 definitely likes a bit of soaking in water. I'll post a photo in Community just so you can see the results of my experiment. :)
@@thecolourswatchstudio Thanks!
I just found your channel, and I love it! Thank you so much for doing these…they’re so helpful! I don’t know if you’re concerned with lightfastness, but window-testing by Kim Crick & other artists have found Moonglow to be fugitive. 😢 It’s the PR177 (Anthra Red, iirc) in the mix, but Kim has a great video on how to mix your own on UA-cam. (She also has a lovely website with loads of watercolor pigment info & a database.) I saw the notes in your description about Cascade Green, & some of the other colors. Rose of Ultramarine & Cascade Green both do marvelous things when given space to flow with more water. I had to paint a full landscape for a class using only one color, & was able to get everything from sky/lake/mountain/pine trees out of CG…it’s one of my favorites! Also, idk what the climate’s like where you live, but I saw the comment about not needing to pre-wet your paint…I live in a fairly arid place, & ALWAYS pre-wet my paints, of which DS is the majority. Especially the Primatek Colors (I love the Serpentine & Grn. Apatite too, btw); I’ve collected a number of them over time, & they can be extremely hard to use if I DON’T rewet them first. Though to be fair, all of mine were poured from tubes, so idk if the pre-poured pans respond differently over time. (Again with the lightfastness, if you’re concerned, don’t use Rhodonite…it’s in the try-it set of 6, and as fugitive as Opera.) Sorry for the long message. Thank you again for putting these up on YT! I’m excited to watch more of the handmade paints, especially from companies I haven’t heard of yet!
Hey, thank you so much for such a lovely and kind comment :) I'm happy to hear that you like my little corner of watercolours here on UA-cam. I'm quite relaxed about the lightfastness because I paint for my own joy, but most importantly, all lightfastness ratings are for museum / gallery conditions and there are also other things involved in measuring it like humidity and acidity. Watercolours will always be prone to fading, especially when diluted with plenty of water. I agree, granulating colours love space and water - the more, the better. I live in England and the weather's been awfully boring lately with the summer still to arrive. I'd say it's perfect for watercolours as the paint doesn't dry too quickly or slowly. I never use a hairdryer to speed things up, just letting watercolour do its own thing. I also always pre-wet the paints as it helps me to get to the masstone easier, especially when using pigments like green earth PG23. Thanks again for your generous comment :)
Lovely! How nice to see so much variation in similar natural pigments. That Potter’s Pink seems more saturated than many, would you say so? ❤
I have a few Potter’s pink paints from different brands and I would say that A.Gallo’s version isn’t more saturated, it’s softer, maybe even dreamier than others. I usually pre-wet the paints around 10 minutes before using them which helps to get closer to the masstone of the paint 🙂 Thank you for watching ❤️
Gorgeous! One and all. 😍
They are stunning 😊
Hi Tracy! Glad to be seeing you more often 😊.
I'm about, when I'm able. 😊
@@TracyIndy 😃
thank you
Thank YOU 😊
Simply beautiful, I have the same one too. ❤️
They are beautiful paints. Thank you for watching 😊
I have all these colours, too. I never tire of painting with them. They are all beautiful
They are becoming my favourite now. Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you. I'm glad to see the colors so clearly. I was thinking of getting Deep Deep Light; I have been a bit obsessed lately.
I’m happy to hear that you found this video helpful. It’s easy to get obsessed with the Deep Deep Light paints, they’re so beautiful. Thank you for watching 😊
Really fantastic collection that you have there! Thank you for sharing these swatches. It was really good to see them in action and will definitely be referencing the video again. The next time I treat myself to new paints lots of good information here with the color wheels and mixing as well.👏
I'm happy to hear that you found this video helpful. Thank you for watching 🙂
I love how neat your swatches are. I especially like your colour wheels and the colour mixes beneath them.
Thank you 🙂 I've been working on a "template" for mixing purposes and I think this might be it. Thank you for watching 🙂
First! 😊
👏👏👏
OMG is Gunjou genuine lapis or azurite??!?
I believe Gunjou is made from azurite. There are no specific pigment information available for this set, however the seller’s website states Gunjou refers to azurite, not lapis.
@@thecolourswatchstudio NOICE! do you get them direct from gansai or ? I have a set of Gansai tambi but im not sure if i can get the Gunjou one.
@@ps.6023 This set is from an art store called Choosing Keeping and I'm not sure who the actual maker of these paints is.
@@thecolourswatchstudio it's gansai tambi if I'm not mistaken and Im searching for the Gunjou like a madman lol
I now know what you mean. Gansai refers to a type of watercolours, in this case specific to the Japanese tradition. I’m not sure if you’ll find something like Gunjou anywhere else, but I’m aware that there’s another brand Kissho that makes gansai watercolours. If no luck, you might have to buy a set from Choosing Keeping containing this colour 😬
such a deep and beautiful bue!! you really should also do a swatch of stone ground's lapis, as well as prodigal son's, and della magnas fra angelico blue OMG soooooooooo gorgeous!!! all of these including MH dont need that much water to get the full intense blue like Vermeer and other old masters! people asume MH is too light or transparent because they over dilute it.
They’re all on my list 🙂I’m not adding new paints to my collection in 2024 so I’m gearing up for a big haul in 2025. Thank you for watching 😊
@@thecolourswatchstudio then when yu do start with Prodigal sons! Greg should be done making his paint by then :D hes a one man operation douing everything by hand!
🎉❤❤❤ What pen do you use to write the info that is waterproof?
I use Pigma Micron pens by Sakura, usually size 01 or 02. Thank you for watching 😊
@@thecolourswatchstudio thanks for the response!
@maryshores6818 Happy to help 🙂
What's the name of the song ?
It’s Dark Taupe by Arden Forest
Thank you =)
My first palette and I am in love!
Great choice! Thank you for watching 🙂
Hi. What is the name of the 3 primary colors on Daniel Smith Brand?
Hi Gabriela, I used hansa medium yellow (PY97), quinacridone rose (PV19) and phthalo blue (green shade) (PB15:3) in this video. These are the three pigments that traditionally would be considered as CMY primaries.
Yay! So nice to see some colors i’ve been curious about in action! Absolutely adore the pear color studies. 😊
Thank you for watching and a lovely comment 😊
TFS. 😊 I appreciate how you test these paints so thoroughly. I LOVED the color wheel mixes with the pears beneath. 🍐
Thank you for watching 🙂 I think I now have a process for paint exploring: swatching, mixing and colour studies.
wow ! the colors are gorgeous , the pans are so cute ! thank you for including the sexy tapeless shots !! your mixing swatch at the end are very pretty .
😂
😄 I remembered this time. Thank you for watching.
সবুজ কি আসমান থেকে আসবে😂😂🤨
I don’t know what you mean
That’s very useful to see you swatching essee colours, as I‘m really interested in these! 🎨❤️
They are great paints, I’m happy with my purchase 😊
Very unique collection! I can see the connection to Impressionist paintings! Looking forward to seeing how you create with them! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you for your swatching videos 😊
Thank you for watching 😊
you did not invite us to the masking tape peeling/swatch reveal !!!😱😂
😄 sorry, it slipped my mind. I’ve made a note when planning my next video. Thank you for watching 😊
❤😊
Would you do a video explaining what the letter/number codes tell us about each color? There’s so much to learn about the properties of each paint.😊
Of course, thank you for suggesting it. The world of pigments can get a bit overwhelming 🙂
Great test paintings. I love the color wheels and mixes.😊
Thank you 😊
I really had to save up for the Shibui palette, but it's so beautiful. I'm so grateful to have it. Thanks for showing these beautiful possibilities! 🙏🏻
Thank you for watching 🙂
So beautiful
😊
Nice palette. The earthy and soft colours go so well together. And the music was really nice choice.
Thank you for the lovely comment 🙂
Water colours name please😢
The paint names are mentioned in the video - permanent light yellow, rosso magenta and cobalt ultramarine (now primary blue). All the other colours are mixes of these three paints. Hope this helps 🙂
Nice❤❤❤❤
Thank you 🙂
Hallo. it is really not necessary tot prewet the Paints! 😘
