I was so happy to hear you say you loved Rembrandt transparents! II LOVE them. The colors are so rich and it's so creamy, easy to use right out of the tube.
I like Gamblin because it seems to have a high pigment load, but I've had some issues with particular colors, which I think you have addressed for me - I've struggled with the titanium white and the alizirin crimson. I'm going to inventory my paints to see if I have some of the ones you've suggested.
Just heard of your page from
"Paint Coach"! He's a great guy. Love that you all are so generous in sharing what has worked for you
I use M Graham oil paint. I chose it because I am asthmatic and don't want to use turpentine. This oil paint is walnut based and I use the specific walnut alkyd to thin the paint. I have watched many oil painters here on UA-cam and no one uses this paint. Do you know why that is or even know of the paint? I love it now after much experimenting cause I have used acrylic paint most of my life and the only other oil paint I've used is Grumbacher when I was a child.
Hi, I know it's been an year but what do you mean LB stopped making paints? I still see them for sale and readily available. Where they sold off by any chance? Are the paints being produced by another manufacturer and then rebranded as LB? I'm really confused, I can't find any info on it! Their YT channel has been posting video tutorials recently, too.
I appreciate this video Miss Chelsea and always love learning about different colors and brands.
Favorite quote from this tutorial is “the only wasted paint is paint that stays in the tube “. I am trying to get to the heart of why I am a paint miser. What is that about!?!
Thank you for giving me permission to use my paint! And all of the other great tips of course!
Found your video very informative, thanks. I like your pallet, is it glass or wood, and how do you store it with the paints on it in bet painting?
Have you tried the Lukas 1862 oil paints? I prefer them to Gamblin and Windsor and Newton.
Hi there,
What is your opinion on Gamblin paints, as a whole, compared to others -- for instance vs W&N, Williamsburg, or Michael Harding?
Particularly their texture properties.
Are most Gambin colors waxy, slightly gelatinous, chalky, pasty, sometimes runny, oily, slippery, or sticky?
Particularly transparent and semi-transparent colors (like Diox. Violet, or various phthalos and quins).
Thank you very much!
Thanks, Chelsea, for your wonderful videos 🤓 I’m starting to paint the color charts that Richard Schmid recommends in Alla Prima II, and have a couple of questions before I begin. Do you ever use lead white, particularly for mixing flesh tones? I’m coming from an atelier background where we used lead white for all our figure paintings. I love its transparency but am concerned about the toxicity, so am open to switching to TW (just feels strange after using it as my default white). Also, I just ordered a tube of Williamsburg titanium white via the link in your palette pdf, but am curious why you like this best? Finally, do you ever use liquin or an alkyd white to speed up drying times? I have a tube of WN alkyd titanium white and a tube of gambling quick dry white, but don’t want to use them if they yellow over time - the blogpost about the titanium white test made me worried about continuing to use them (I’ve only used them sparingly).
hey! How did the williamsburg white turn out? I am looking to get some oil paint and I might get some williamsburg tubes. Do you have any other Williamsburg colors as well?
Great video, great insight. I appreciate the rational behind your decision making as well. Thank you!
i recently switched to a smaller business over these huge companies charging high prices for okay quality paint. RGH oil paints is just pigment and oil no filler and no adulteration. The colors work beautifully with a big pigment punch. The owner is also very sweet i’d look into RGH oil paints and Blue ridge oil paints for higher quality colors!
Early in my career Permalba White (Titanium) was recommended and I haven't looked back. Any thoughts?
Have you heard of Vasari brand of oils? Thoughts?
Having used W&N almost exclusively, for the past (many) years, it is always interesting to dabble a bit.
Permalba Original.
Nice yellow range but... Did you look at the pigment codes in the tubes? Because Rembrandt's orange and cad yellow deep are premixes. So...
Had to revisit this video and I am glad I did! This is pretty much my exact palette plus cremnitz white from Blue Ridge oil or lead white number one from Rublev. Ohh and either Gamblin or Blue ridge Cobalt Teal, awesome color. 👌 I also love the Windsor cadmium and Cobalts
Cobalt Teal is awesome!!
21:43 I missed it somehow. What's the name of the forgotten color that's being squeezed near the end?
Otherwise, excellent and very informative video.
And since you asked, I love using Utrecht and Gamblin paints. They're readily available at my local art supply store and work wonderfully with my knife painting.
Terra Rosa! So sorry about that! I don't think I can edit the video but I'll put that in a note in the description. :D
@@ChelseaLang No worries. As long as I know, that's all that matters to me. LOL
Seriously, thanks for answering that.
Is anyone able to rank the brands available on Jackson's from most viscous to least viscous? I've been searching the net and can't find this info anywhere. Even if you read this 3 years after I wrote it and think you're up for it, please reply!
When using Permanent rose or magenta- you can look at that as being a step removed from yellow- and in violets, that is a critical need to have. You can also look at cobalt teal as the opposite and same thing in terms of color mixing. Red is made (in the CMYK) via magenta and yellow. It's good to understand the components that give the actual light giving properties that reflect the colors we stereotypically say are the "color" we intend to get. Often we take for granted that red is "red" as marked on the tube. Often it is a blend of elements that give us that color.
Can i please ask where your palette/easel is from?
I love Michael Harding and they make up the bulk of my paints but I also use Gamblin on a regular basis and occasionally a tube of Rembrandt.
Hi my name is John k.can you please tell me what and were you purchased your wooden palette with that black glass looking piece please
How often do you post? I'd love to see more paintings :) - TinyTrainTrack
Thank you! I try to post M/W/F but if I'm working on larger paintings that take more time I'm forced to slow down, which is the case this week. I'm hoping to have something new either Friday or next Monday. :D
Is there an alternative cheap edge pro? It doesn't look to cost so much
I have been using Schmincke Norma and Schmincke Mussini with very good results specially with Mussini for transparent colors. I have also Geneva Paints from Mark Carder and I loved them, just they are specific for alla prima and I paint with lots of glazing.
In addition to the brands you mentioned I also quite like utrecht paints. I'd say they're on the lower end of artist grade paints, but their price is hard to beat. It's starting to become my go-to brand for when I want to try a new pigment without spending too much money on a color I might end up not liking. I haven't tried any of their cadmiums but I've heard they're quite good and hold their vibrancy very well in tints.
I really love Charvin paint, made in Paris, artist grade paints that are at a really good price point. about 18usd for a tube of 150ml. I don't know if the ship overseas but even in France, I don't think they are known.
my premium paint splurge is lead tin yellow, cobalt violet, and rose madder.. I keep trying new colors every now and then and slowly its killing my pocket book. lol
Haha, I feel that! If it's any consolation, I know a lot of artists who have work beautiful enough to occasionally justify cobalt violet, but most of those artists have tried it and determined that it's a pretty useless color. Not as chromatic as it would seem, and extremely weak in terms of tinting strength. So your tube may last you a very, very long time. :) I can't weigh in on the other colors, but most of the greats that I've talked to make beautiful paintings without anything super expensive.
@@ChelseaLang I 👍 agree, and I want to try the lead tim yellow...but it seems like a priceyer Naples yellow light 🤷♂️
I like your wood palette. Where did you get it? Just found you. Very informative videos! Thanks!
I think that’s the glass palette on the edge easel
The painting looks very real... amazing...
Thank you! :D I'm so excited to deliver the piece to my client!
Great video! Thank you! I have lots of favorites. Currently, richeson shiva titanium white and transparent marble white...just get the big tubes...it’s WONDERFUL and in a safflower oil base! Fantastic texture and pigment load. Marble white adds this indescribable quality when mixed in, don’t expect much in the way lightening, but mixed 1/3 titanium white and 2/3 marble gives you a wonderful mixing white that doesn’t kill the color. Favs in WN permanent carmine🤩 and purple madder. Currently on the search for some new pigments to try. My go to has been Williamsburg.
Oooo I'll have to check these out! Thank you so much for the AWESOME info and tips here!
Also, absolutely love the transparent oxides as well...mixed with ultramarine blue they make the most amazing sophisticated colors 😍
Recently tried a set of Mussini - Schmencke brand. They have dammar resin in them. Nice to work with. Liked your video very much.
You do a great job Chelsea!
Great video. Not only did you forget to put that other colour on the palette, I think you forgot to tell us what the colour was :-D I tend to use Michael Harding as being in the UK many of his paints aren't that expensive, though as a hobbyist I can't afford his cadmiums and cobalts so go with other brands like Rembrandt for those. I've heard great things about Blue Ridge Oil Paints which are supposed to be very high quality and reasonably priced, but made in the US and not available over here.
Oh no! It's Winsor & Newton Terra Rosa. :D Thank you for mentioning it!
In the UK first address for art supply Jackson's - you want high quality paint for a low price try Maimeri Classico - or St Petersburg Master Class - or Lukas 1862 - Quality oil paint is not about the price but knowing what you can get for the price.
As a portrait artist ,I use Rembrandt & WN but I also like Lukas .
After testing many on the French market I really find the Old Holland and Michael Harding the best of the best. The colors are the most vibrant, the texture is great, easy to work with. Old Holland has a larger palette of colours. Sennelier and Rembrandt are good too. But they are my second choice.
i want to try Geneva brand from mark..but dang its a expensive.How do you feel about a mixing white?
I was curious as well of that. Did you ever try it?
@@violetquinn3467 I have and it's hands down the best paint I've worked with, they don't need to be mixed with any medium which is nice, I like to have my Paints a little stiffer so I let them sit out over night and the next day they are so nice. But I can't afford to buy them on the regular
@@juriaan13 Wow, thanks for the information so much. Do they have much of an odor?
Rembrandt yellow ochre pale is lighter and much higher chroma than W&N's. You can mix its equivalent from W&N yellow ochre pale and cad. yellow.
Can i suggest to you to economized tint, is quite expensive isn`t, those pills of paint in your palette sonner or later dryes, and scratch again. Use a glass palette, very easy to clean with solvent.
Great video! Very cool! Thanks!
Permanent Madder Deep from Rembrandt is supposed to be a good alternative to Aliziran Crimson
It is; it's pyrrole rubine.
Very helpful video,thanks a lot.
I'm so glad it was helpful! :D
Looking for Rembrandt Ultramarine Blue and only see "deep" or "light". Any suggestions?
Go with deep , you cant darken the light, but you can lighten the deep with lighter colors
I have the ultramarine light and it's my favorite blue. Not light at all in terms of value; it's very dark in masstone. It's more "primary" than most ultramarines. I think the Rembrandt ultramarine deep is just warmer.
PLease someone Gamblin vs Richeson! which s better?
W&N burnt sienna is made from the same pigment as Trans. Oxide Red (pr101)
The Gamblin Radiant looks to have a white pre mixed in it
michael harding transparent oxide?
As a non-alla primer painter (well, mostly anyway) I think your recommendations still stand.
Alas, while W&N are definitely the go to for artists in the UK, I think Rembrandt and Gamblin fall down our list a bit. They're just not as available and cost a bit more over this end of the pond. I've used both though and they certainly are good.
I use W & N Artist for most colours and also Jackson's Artist and Professional paints (which are both very good). I have a couple of MH too. My staple colours (Titanium white, Burnt Umber etc.) I have mostly in student grade from Winton. Winton are better quality than some artist grade lines in my opinion, and more than good enough for colours that go in underpaintings and mixes anyway. I've got a few Winsor and Newton Griffin paints too, as I started oils using alkyds. I actually like these paints but they tend to be less vivid when dry. Not by a lot, but by enough that I noticed the difference when I moved away from alkyd paint.
I currently have a broken hand so my painting is only value exercises and the like. Still fun though.
That's such a good point! I hadn't considered artists outside of the US but based on the comments that's a very real factor. I think the cool thing though is that the logic definitely stands -- so long as you are finding that blend of utility and value, you can apply it to any other brand of paint. :)
I'm so sorry about your broken hand! Did that just happen? Were you able to get it looked at and everything?
@@ChelseaLang I had to wait a day rather than just going to the ER but yes, it's all fixed up now. I was happy to wait as it wasn't an emergency and I could cope for a while. It's actually a re-break and not too serious. Probably heal in less than six weeks. I can hold a brush but can't manipulate in the same way or hold very tightly.
I'm so glad you are OK and that you were able to get it checked out. :) This could be a great opportunity to practice painting from your shoulder rather than your hand, or even try painting with your other hand! A lot of great painters have either shaky hands or have had to paint with their off hand before due to injury -- their skill comes from the decisions their brain makes and understanding how to use the whole arm to make a mark, not the dexterity of their hand. I hope this inspires you to keep painting while you recover, but above all else I hope you take care of yourself and feel better!
Gamblin make the best version of alizarin Permanent. It's basically a pr177 neutralized by a phthalo pg36.
el estearato de aluminio material básico para la fabricación de pinturas e oleo es una de las causas por la que la pintura de oleo tiende a agrietarse cuando se aplica en capas gruesas y también a tender a amarillearse
Thank you
Rembrandt Light Oxide Red is the same as Terra Rosa.
Thank you 🌹🤩
I have a real problem with strong reds, in fact, I rarely go past raw umber, and only occasional use alizarin crimson... to the point that I treat it much the same as white, only using it at the very end of painting, holding out until all the other values were established and I know how the color temperatures were going to be affecting the rest of the painting... holy crap! Got the headphones on, and your wind chime in the background freaked me out!!
I have been mixing Blue Ridge Oils and using Windsor Newton for the bulk colors, white, french ultra marine, Burnt umber black and grey. I have limited my palette due to the fact that many colors break down into mixes of others, some greens are just blends of a green with ultra marine blue- and that becomes apparent when blending them into yellow or on the opposite side, blue or orange tells of how they might be altered pigment-wise to create them.
RemBrandt oil color 💖💖💖💖💖💖 !
how long are they gonna last , say if you buy a 22ml tube of paint ? it might vary according to the use , just wanna know how long a tube lasts ?
nice video thanks
Thank you too!
It depends where, the artist are. Gamblin is pretty much non existent in europe where muzzini goes in to premium
With that i mean , you basically cant buy gamblin, I have never seen it for 20 years
A quality paint makes all the difference in the world.
Thinking “that’s a lot of oilcolor down to waste!” I’m so stingy that after every painting I either put saranwrap over it or put it into water and store in the fridge lol
Trust me, I can relate! What helped me was just hearing professional after professional say that you cannot be afraid to waste paint. 😂
@@ChelseaLang how can they say that when it's hundreds Of money just going down the drain
Blue Ridge fit right up there with premium quality paints at a good price. For a premium,at less cost than MH is Langridge from Australia 🇦🇺 which have more pigment. Strong as AF.
CAS Alkyd pro ...dry quickly if you like glazing quickly. Very strong and far better than WN griffins.
Lukas 1862...use their student line for underpaintings and the 1862s for overpainting. Their white stays white. One of the top ti whites in production. Alot of whites turn cream or even peach in a few years , especially gamblin whites. I won't buy them.
Cap, the best are gamblin, Williamsburg, and old Holland
Stingey mindset is the worst part of my creative process! I agree it does need changing and its not easy. Its really not easy. The paper, canvas, paint brushes used ( oh save the good brushes for good work….ha ha) and the palette. Even if i had plenty of money to play around with i still hate waste. Its a tough one.
Im using winton oil 😁👍
Man, that's a lot of dried-up, wasted paint being scraped off - for me that's enough for several more paintings. I never squeeze out more than I know I'll use up.
Lol
Yeah, let’s shame people for how they use their paints, mr. Scrooge!
Me too - that complicated color palette would drive me nuts
@@JTonyArts oil paint is can extremely toxic and expensive so waisting that much paint is bad for the environment and jsut a waist in general when people who can’t afford it coudk have used it
@@kayarose4498 thanks for playing, but the correct answer is that you use the amount necessary for the piece and technique. Every painting teacher i listen to (many) say that one of the biggest mistakes painters make is to get a mindset like yours and use too little paint. They all say to bd generous with your paint otherwise it effects your painting. The folks backstage will have your consolation prize.
In the past used a lot Lefranc-Bourgeois,Windsor-Newton ,Sennelier and Talens-Rembrant..now essentially for the first layers.
Finishing layers with Leroux,Michael Harding,Rublev,Old Holland and Blockx(some Mussini too)..Best hight quality.
Forget Titanium white..only Lead white were used by Old Masters.
Best medium is Amber medium.
Best blue,Lapis Lazuli of MH. and Rublev,idem for true red Vermillion and Naples Yellow..
Oh, you bought into the whole hysteria huh?
cHELSEA IN THE FUTURE PLEASE IN CREASE AUDIO VOLUME tHANK YOU . i WILL ADJUST ACCORDINGLY. YOU ARE SO HELPFUL AND GENEROUS WHAT AN ASSET TO THE ARTISTIC COMMUNITY.!!
True primaries don't exist.
Chelsea you are an excellent artist but a dreadful palette cleaner.
YOU MUST BE RICH BECAUSE YOU WASTE TO MUCH PAINT
Paint isn't that expensive, large tubes last a long time even if you paint all the time
Top 3 23 minutes
Just put the video on n I Already know I'm not going to like this list, first thing I see is a Rembrandt tube, and she's using Rembrandt and W&N. . Sorry but this video should come with a HUGE CAVEAT ¡BEST FOR NON PROFESSIONALS OR ANYONE TRYING TO BE PROFESSIONAL! ... She needs to let you know that there's a reason why NO REPUTABLE PROFESSIONALS USE W&N AND REMBRANDT ON THEIR PRO PIECES UNLESS IT'S DONE TYPE OF SPONSORED PIECE. Those brands she loved so much are amazing but for your average painter it students which is why it's called student paint......to me and for my money it's Williamsburg, Micheal Harding and Gamblin classic..personally I have Gamblin and Williamsburg sprinkled with a bit of MH. Though there's people I know who really like Blue Ridge.
You are talking nonsense, there are very good artists using WN paints and Rembrandts. If they are sponsored you should care 0, just look at what masterpieces they are able to paint using these paints. Don't think you will paint better because of using old Holland vs WN or Rembrandt lol
Your proves is
nothing, Look at the experiment in 1985 and 2013 in London proved, Undoubtedly (disputed) Old Holland is 100% lightfast best oil paints in the world, the second is Schmincke Horadam for watercolors.
