The clownfish turned out lovely, as usual. I really like the nickel azo yellow., in fact I like it much better than the DS Indian yellow. The pigments are different than most brands of that color and it is just wrong to me. What seemed like an unlikely trio worked wonderfully together. Your creativity helps me see colors in a new way. Thank you for sharing- see you next time.😎
Just got home after work. People went mad trying to buy up before the snap lockdown today at 1pm. I finished at 7 and just needed to see this today after all the crazy. Thanks Becky :)
I can imagine it was insane with such short notice! Sorry you're stuck in lockdown too, it really sucks. I am glad my video helped, if even a tiny bit. Stay safe! ❤️
I love your clown fish and the way the colors blend together is really nice. I have the cascade green and it separates really nicely on cold press paper doing wet on wet, it's really cool. I think I have the yellow one, though don't use it much, but I think I need to start, it's a really nice yellow. Also just added the coral to my wish list lol
Thank you Becky, for bravely purchasing the most cost effective size of the most-voted colors for you to try (for us). Great demonstration, useful to me.
This is very cool and I like the way you swatched the new paints on your drawn tubes. I have the cascade green and the quin. coral. The nickel azo yellow I have are from Schmincke and Roman Szmal. The cascade green looks wonderful with lots of water. Wetting the paper and paint wet paint on the paper and just watching what happens. Sometimes I tilt the paper to manipulate the flow. I love this. I often use it for backgrounds. I usually buy the smaller 5ml tubes if available. That way I can buy more colours and I never use up a 15ml tube anyway because I have so many different brands and colours. I guess you could call me a collector. Nobody needs so many colours, haha.
I love that you used the word "persnickety!" I always use that word, but I rarely hear it from other people. Such a fun word! I love how you added more color into your glass at the end there and it turned out so pretty. I do love that Nickel Azo Yellow, and you're right - it makes a beautiful mix with the Quin. Coral. Fun colors!
Persnickety is a most excellent word which needs to be used more often, haha! Thank you - the glass was looking a little dull until I added in the yellow. It was just a quick sketch which at one point I thought wasn't going to turn out at all, lol.
Gorgeous colors! Yes the coral and azo make a beautiful orange. I really like the limited color painting. I think it makes a person more creative. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, and I agree; I like to be inspired by the colours themselves.I had no idea what I was going to paint for this video until I had swatched out that little colour wheel.
Quin coral is a gorgeous red, one of my favourites. I really like the nickelazoyellow too. Nice addition to your set. Hope your spring is getting going and your lockdowns start to get easier. We are heading to autumn here, our spring and summer together were just about 12 weeks. I won’t even talk about the rest. I barely painted at all, was so desperate for sunshine and inspiration! Hope the spring brings you plenty.
Cherry blossoms have started blooming, and there have even been a few sunny days! This helps cheer me up a lot, and I am very much affected by seasonal sunlight as well. It's still cold though, but I will take cold as long as there is sunshine too! Soon enough I will be whinging about the heat anyway, lol.
You can really see the or halo blue in that cascade green, can't you! I really can't justify DS prices here in aus, so I'm happy I can live vicariously :D I hope lockdown isn't being too hard on you.
@@BeckyTregear Gods, don't I know it! I could only stretch to Holbein, though; I've had a Jackson's order of lockdown birthday paints on their way for ages now. No way they'll make it for tomorrow now, but what can you do!
I was filling pans yesterday, and after seeing another UA-cam comment (on a different video), I tried smacking the pan repeatedly on the table to settle the paint down. Worked like a charm and the expected paint mess all over my fingers did not happen!
Becky Tregear Art These were stiff old paints and i had no toothpicks to coax them with. When I was putting the pans back in the paint box, that’s when the mess happened 😜
Such a great video!!! I love Cascade green! Thanks for sharing. PS. If you can get your hands on Rosa Gallery paints I definitely recommend them, they are a really decently priced artist grade paint-and in my opinion better then white nights but way cheaper-atleast they are super cheap here in the US, Im not sure how they are priced elsewhere....Anyway great video, thanks for sharing- much love🧡❤💜❤
Ooh thank you for the brand recommendation; I will have to look them up! Usually everything is more expensive in Australia, except sometimes for Japanese products like Holbein.
This was a fun video and a surprising triad! I loved all three colors but was most surprised by the nickel azo yellow. I think I like it better than Indian Yellow. Nice swatching and painting!
They’re beautiful together!😍 I like the idea of limited palette artwork, sometimes it’s just more simple and forces creativity. I think my favorite is the yellow. It’s not as neutral as I would think, in fact it’s so bright and vibrant! I bet it’s nice to be painting again after all that pencil work (and swatching)😂
Oh yes, it is much easier on the hand! 😂 I love that yellow so much, it is just so intensely transparent. I think in Sennelier's range there is a similar one (or the same) which is called something like Transparent Yellow Lake?
@@BeckyTregear I have yellow lake from the Sennelier set of 48, and it is very similar! though there may be more colors I'm unaware of (I think theres something like 100 in all but my 48 set suits my needs well enough hahaha)
I love your thought process about 15ml tubes lol. I have heard good things about Daniel Smith paints and really want to try them. Every time I buy colors I'm like yea, I could make this, but they've done it for me sooooo.
Someone may have already suggested this for keeping paints from spurting out when opening a new tube. Gently squeeze the tube from the sides and it pulls the paint down away from the cap. Hope this helps.
It’s really funny to me that cascade green is so popular. I got it as part of a set and it’s in my palette but I never use it. Maybe I’ll try it out after this but I tend not to use greens out of the tube that’s a color I prefer to mix myself. Although my one exception to that is apatite genuine.
Ah, my favorite yellow. Can't have a palette without nay. It can be brown, it can be green, it can be bright lighted skyyyyyyy. It can be orange it can be grey it can depend on what you place it beside.... it's a great color
Initially I didn’t like the Quin Coral but it grew on me, especially by mixing it with Indian Yellow for a bright orange. I’ve got Schmincke’s version of Nickel Azo Yellow and absolutely love it, but if I had to choose just one yellow by Daniel Smith I’d go for Indian Yellow as it’s a bit more versatile.
Interesting thoughts, especially with the Indian Yellow. I keep debating whether or not to get it but I also feel like I have quite a lot of yellows now. But I do still have more spaces to fill up so you never know! 😂
Quinacridone Coral (PR209) and Quinacridone Red Light (PR207) are really similar. I think you can use them interchangeable. My tube is almost empty now... I used it a lot and I think I will get Quinacridone Red Light soon.
@@BeckyTregear I know Daniel Smith don't have a PR207 but Schmincke, Rembrandt and QOR and I think all of them have the same name. All Quinacridones are absolutely fantastic colors. And I have a problem with them... I have more than I actually need.
@@BeckyTregear You know when someone recommends a balanced color palette and I'm like "Give me the Quins..." That would be me all the time.. just like a little gremlin. 😅
They'd have to be a good friend, haha! But that is a cool idea, or even a group of arty people and everyone gets a half or full pan of paint out of it. 😆
I love how obsessed you are with watercolor! Just like me 😭😭😭😭
A good obsession to have!😆
Very pretty....combined, they look like fall colors! I've never heard of any of those colors til this. thank you so much for sharing.
I can highly recommend any or all of these colours now that I've tried them. They're all lovely! 😊❤️
Gorgeous colours :)
Good choice! Love these colours!
very pretty colours to add to your palette. they worked great for the clownfish 😀
Thank you, I was really happy with how well the three colours worked together. 😊
Nickel azo yellow must be my favorite pigment. It's like sunshine on paper.
Oh my gosh, it really is! 🌞

Quin Coral is just delish!
These are three of my most used colors! Great picks
They are so pretty, and useful too! I see why everyone loves them, haha. 💜
Beautiful colours and great paintings. Have a nice weekend with the new paints.
Thank you, and I hope you have a great weekend too!

@@BeckyTregear I'm sure you will love it.

I always get the 15 ml tubes !
I have found the 5 ml tubes cost about 2/3 of what a 15 ml costs.
Daniel Smith and Qor are my favourites !
Love the colours and the way they go together! 😍
They're all so pretty, I am glad I got them. 💜

Most of my Daniel Smith paints seem to want to explode out of the tube when I open them. You’re opened beautifully, I’m a bit jealous. Lol
