wow~ loving the swatch line up. i'm not into greens in general probably because i prefer to mix my greens. i don't know why that is, i guess it's because turquoises are more my jam. haha
loved this video! its kind of funny to see how many versions of pg7 you have, and i relate since every set seems to include it. personally i do find it invaluable for mixing though; with a quinacridone rose it makes a beautiful neutral purple so i dont complain on that one, and mixed with yellow you can get a variety of more natural greens that you might prefer, since the phthalo green alone can look pretty unnatural and overwhelming I actualy really liked the mijello olives!! have you ever tried any versions of perylene green (Pbk31) yet? I also really love that color, it's a great moody tone. oh side note but on the topic of the super vision paints, those paints have actually been known to change color in the tube like that. I'd recommend checking out Kimberly Crick's channel and her video on the super vision paints. very informative! tl;dr though is that it's not necessarily just an issue of lightfastness, but of the chemicals in the dyes themselves being unstable and shifting in hue or even disappearing entirely. This is why, despite not being exposed to the light, it changes color. her video is here! : ua-cam.com/video/w4IcB1bNt6c/v-deo.html
I totally agree with you on the Van Gogh paints. They are VERY good student grade paints. So much so that they give the professional paints real competition. Van Gogh’s Sap Green is my favorite. It’s a PY129/PG7 mix. Their Azo Green Yellow PY129 is also my favorite green gold.
I like that dusk green. I really need to get a granulating black because whenever I see these mixes with one, I like them. I am also meh about Phthalo greens - a bit too neon-y for me. They are nice in some mixes, though. I do like a good Sap Green (QoR Sap Green is great), a good genuine Viridian (not these hues that look like [and are] a barely toned-down Phthalo) and Perylene Green.
green is my favorite color so i have many different green paints. I only keep about three or four of them are on my main palette at any one time, but sometimes the others get to come out to play as well.
My absolute fav olive green is by sennelier but also schmincke do an olive green yellowish which is more in line with what other brands call olive green.
I mix my own and since you have Viridian it could be mixed with nickel azo yellow and a small amount of quinacridone burnt orange and you can have your own olive green.
Thank you for the recommendation. I don't know why but I'm always disappointed with my greens whatever I mix with the PG7. I always prefer just mixing a yellow and blue (and maybe a little red).
I often use the Mission Gold Van Dyke Green. The earthiness to it appeals to me in a way most paints made from PG7 mixes can't replicate. That, DS Cobalt Green Pale, and DS Chromium Green Oxide are probably my most used. If I need anything brighter, I'll mix them myself.
My all time fav green has to be Green Apatite Genuine. Apart from that, and a few others (Serpentine Gen., Perylene Green +), I usually prefer to mix my own too 👍🏼
Thanks for the swatching. For an olive, I quite like the Lukas followed by the Mijello Silver Olive. I also realy like the second Schmincke, but I wouldn't consider it an olive.
I like cascade green although it is a convenience colour and I liked mixing phtalo blue with raw sienna before. Same as Undersea green for more olivy, muted greens. And I love Schmincke`s perylene green (I only tried their version, though). When I mix phtalo green with yellows for natural greens I always add a touch of red. I love how that dusk green looks))
I've never tried cascade or undersea greens. Which brand are they? I really like how the dusk green looks too. I think Van Gogh did really well with their dusk colors.
Nice comparison, thanks for this. Regarding the supervision paints, see Kim Crick’s channel … i think it was this brand that she found the pigment faded while still in the tube.
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏 I saw Kimberly Crick's video and I'm dreading finding out what has happened to the paints after more than 12 months in the tubes 🤣😭
I have Sap Green from Daniel Smith on my main palette. That one I almost used up. I'm not sure if I will buy it again because I want to try something new that is not as bright as Sap Green from Mijello. That one is almost neon when you use them in a light wash... I think you can mix your own convenience greens with PG7 now. You quite a collection of them. I think you will never run out of Phthalo Green anymore. This would last me a life time. 😁
Great comparison video! I bought my Lukas watercolours on sale and they are probably very, very old (some have no pigment info on the tube for instance). The Olive Green has 4 pigments listed. They are PY1/PO62/PR83.1/PG7. I think, since Daler and Rowney bought up Lukas and moved production to the UK, they changed the formulation on that one to what you have.
HI. As the famous poet Federico García Lorca used to say "Verde que te quiero verde", somethinglike "Green that I love you green", a lot of green around here. I am not a super fan of greens made with so many compounds, a PG7 cannot be absent, maybe some sap green ... it may not be the most beautiful of the class, but Chromium Oxide offers you as a base color an incredible range of green mixes. If you ask me what is my favorite green, I will surely answer the Perylene green, I am totally in love with the Windsor and Newton. The eternal problem of greens ... Nice video. I dont Know Supervision, it's an awesome name!
I really love that Schminke green olive color, although it's more the color of the fuzz an olive gets when you leave it sitting out... I distrust paints that use more than two pigments, as you are just begging for muddy watercolors in the end. Thanks for the paint out!
I like the Lukas Olive Green and tye Rembrandt Chromium Green Oxide. Which is strange that there's just the two considering green is my favorite color! It just has to be the right green! 😉💚
Have you ever tried perylene green PBk31...Its a beautiful mixing green. I use PG7 and PG36 for mixing beautiful moody and natural greens, I dont really ever use them straight from the pan..I actually really love the pigment PBr25 and I especially love the mixes it makes; so I actually really love Mission Golds Van dyke green. Daniel Smiths Sap green is really nice too, I personally prefer it over Mission Golds Sap green. I have Van Goghs dusk green and I absolutely love it!! Great video, thanks so much for sharing. Much love
You're very welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I've never tried PBk31. I guess that's another pigment to add to my list for the future 😂 I really like PBr25 too. My Mijello Red Brown is one of my favourites. I'm going to try and use the Van dyke green a bit more to see how I get on with it.
oh man, i totally agree with you on that last one - MG vandyke green. i was about to go add it to my Jackson's cart but then as you said, it dries SO differently... and is disappointing. (not that the dry color is bad, but it does look rather desaturated. and i prefer the hue of the wet paint also.) THANKS for this nice little sampling. i really enjoy these vids of yours!
A lot of PG7, right?! ;D I've decided to buy a Van Gogh PG7 (phthalo green) after so many comments about amazing mixes. So far I am using it by mixing with PB15 (yeah no green!!) or with PY42 raw sienna (a nice green). Maybe I should do more testings... Well, my favorite greens are a mix of Van Gogh PB29+PY129 and the White Nights PG8. Thank's again for your videos!
I like to mix my greens. I usually just use cerulean blue or cobalt teal + some kind of yellow. It is strange though, because I do have other secondary colours on my palette.
I'm of the same mind, like to mix my own. Don't buy them and the ones in sets I've purchased are sitting somewhere in a drawer. If I had to choose I'd choose a dark green like the one 4th from right bottom row. Foliage on flowers can be dark so it would be nice to have a convenience dark green. Then again I'd mix the convenience color myself.
Do you have un videos for mix your greens. Acabo de conocer sus videos que me parecen interesantisimos pero mi ingles es muy pobre escribiendo enfin... you are the best.
hi Jay! i’m super curious to see the mijello olive green/hookers green compared to daniel smith sap green if a small short video is possible by chance? :)
These are interesting to see, though tbh all brands I wouldn’t go for since most of them don’t seem as good or reasonably priced in the UK. It’s clear to see a little more opacity in the Van Gogh, but fair enough, and good to see how Rembrandt can compare.
Oh my! You cannot get an olive green from PG7 (phthalo green, blue shade and PY154 ) That 1st swatch can't be right. Those two make a bright Spring green. I've had both of those pigments on my palette for 12 years. I know some companies do make mistakes with labels now and then. PG7 is a must have for me because I can create any other green I want so easily. Plus use it with PR122 for an ultra soft violet. So many uses and mixes. Its too unnatural on its own but a wonderful mixer that I cannot be without. PS, Im loving your work!
Thank you very much Renee. 🙏 You might be right about the Van Gogh Olive Green. I don't have the tube anymore but those are the two pigments they state on their website. Maybe it is a mistake?
Thalo green is probably the most consistent pigment from brand to brand. I don't use it, but if I did I'd easily settle for a student grade, like Van Gogh, Cotman or Grumbacher Academy.
Definitely with you on the Van Gogh's Gogh's they're definitely awesome for being the more budget paints that Royal Talens offers 😊 I don't even have any olives on my palette, mostly because I'd mix those ochre kind of colour myself with either an ochre or a raw sienna. If I'd use any, I like the Lukas one (the granulating burnt sienna like plus yellow green colour looks a lit like DS's Green Apatite to me) and the Mijello silver one. I like the tone better than in their professional line and it's at least just three pigments, not four of them. Definitely not gonna call the Schmincke ones olive, either, that's definitely more of a forest green. They probably just already had a forest green on their real extensive palette - I just don't have an inkling of an idea why they'd call it olive green ^^' I personally got a good bunch of greens on my palette (maybe too many, I just like collecting and I also did not really figure out which suits me best and which don't have to be in it) I got permant green and yes, that phthalogreen (mostly because those are so close to the yellow green and blue green in opaque watercolor boxes. They're like one of the main mediums used to teach art classes and colour theory here in Germany, so they're a bit of a safety bet for me ;P), viridian and a bunch of more natural looking greens: chromium oxide green (which is probably the closest to what I consider an olive green), a home-mixed dupe for DS's cascade green and perylene green. I also got the dusk green from Van Gogh which I love (like all of the dusk colour range), but it resides with the rest of them in my oddball pan palette 😁
I've always like Van Gogh paints and I think the dusk ones are especially good. I've also tried mixing my own versions of the dusk colors using PBk11 but they don't look as good.
The schmincke are not olive at all LOL better called ‘forest’ I agree. What were they thinking calling it olive? So odd. You really have to do research and not trust names. I personally like Phthalo green and enjoy using it and in mixes. I do paint things where the colour can be used and also intentionally change colours to be more pleasant than reality to my personal taste sometimes and other time I paint more to the realistic colours. I paint with a variety of colour styles/pallets so every colour is useful to me and I enjoy using a lot of colours. Drying shift varies by colour. I’d also say everyone has to keep doing paper tests too as it changes on different papers! I also premix paints I. Empty half and full pans and my favourite green depends on the subject/artwork. I recently mixed several custom ones I love including my ‘perfect’ golden and ‘perfect grass green’ mixes. Pg7 (mix of 2 brands I own) + mgrahams nickle quin Azo gold. The green one has more Pthalo and the golden version has much more nickle quin Azo gold. I don’t mind multiple pigment mixes and love o page and transparent colours I just know which is which. I also love gouache which has become my favourite and make mixed watercolour and gouache paintings often! From the tube l also love the following greens; Daniel smith undersea green, Daniel smith Perylene green! Most of my other most used favourite greens are now premixes and intentional dupes (mixed my own rather than buying the tube as I had or got the pigment components) such as my dusk green, cascade green, Prussian green, etc. but I do find myself using others sometimes when it works for that painting. I also can;t recommend trying cheap dollar store makeup brushes which painting highly enough as they are incredible! Really great for soft areas, effects, gradients, clouds, soft lifting, etc. and they are extremely inexpensive! I hope this comment helps someone!
Thank you for the swatch! Now that I see the dried versions of these, I think Schmincke has a different idea about the olive green color. You see, all the other brands are trying to emulate the olive OIL color. Schmincke clearly tries to emulate the LEAVES! Haha! Prussian Green also is very close to the color of the olive trees leaves (eucalyptus too).
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and commenting 🙏 The Schmincke olive greens are nothing like any olives I know. I do like both colors though.
Good colection of paints Green with envy.
Haha thanks. So many tube greens and don't really use any of them 😭
I really liked the first 4 olive greens you swatched. In general, I mix my own greens but I do like to use PG7 for mixing a dark grey
I much prefer mixing my own greens too.
wow~ loving the swatch line up. i'm not into greens in general probably because i prefer to mix my greens. i don't know why that is, i guess it's because turquoises are more my jam. haha

I actualy really liked the mijello olives!!
have you ever tried any versions of perylene green (Pbk31) yet? I also really love that color, it's a great moody tone.

Hi. Thank you for the link. These supervision paints are definitely strange. I don't think I would use them again.
I love perylene green. Phthalo green is great for mixing - plays well with other colors.
Me too, i'm in love with perylene green!,
I've never tried Perylene green. One more paint to add to the 'to try' list 🤣
This was awesome. I struggle with greens at times and this tutorial was helpful. Thank you. Kathryn
Thank you Kathryn. Greens are always a struggle for me too. I'm very rarely happy with them.
I was shocked you had so many greens. I know you like to mix your own & you do such a fantastic job doing it.
Thank you very much 🙏
I was pretty shocked to see just how many I have too. Especially as I don't like greens from a tube. 🤣
I totally agree with you on the Van Gogh paints. They are VERY good student grade paints. So much so that they give the professional paints real competition. Van Gogh’s Sap Green is my favorite. It’s a PY129/PG7 mix. Their Azo Green Yellow PY129 is also my favorite green gold.
The Van Gogh watercolors are very good. A little more opaque than most artist grade watercolors but still good
I really like your color comparisons. It's helpful to choose brands. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you find them helpful ☺️

Oh so Schmincke have a third olive green? I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know 🙏

I've never tried that one. Glad to hear it's good ☺️

Viridian is PG18.
It is but Mijello like to call their PG7 Viridian.
How did VanGogh get a brownish green from a phthalo and py154?
Must be magic 🤣 Or a very orange PY154?
I prefer earthy greens.
Me too 😊

The Schmincke olive greens are nothing like any olives I know. I do like both colors though.
Watching the swatching, I was thinking, Schmincke, did you mean Olive or Christmas Tree...? ;-)
