Thank you so much for answering my question about those 2 pigments. PB60 seems like a hidden jewel. I loved those blues and green. That fuchsia color, Wow!
I on the other hand don't really understand Prussian blue 😅. I like to use it for oil paints, because it allows the paint to oxidize faster than PB15:3. Years ago, I used Prussian blue more often for watercolours because a phthalocyanine was too expensive for me and I wanted an alternative to ultramarine blue. I use it less and less because over time I learned which colours I needed more often, so it went from my 12 watercolour paint box to my 24 watercolour paint box. The pigment isn't muted enough for me to use alone, and I can mix an existing blue from my palette to get it more muted. My watercolour tubes with the pigment are used up and not repurchased. I also somehow like PB82 better as a dark alternative to PB27. I have both commercial versions from Turner and Daniel Smith and will also buy it as a pigment.
I really like both colours and have probably spent time in other areas of the internet and not noticed that the two colours are overwhelmingly unpopular. I rarely need PV23, but when I do, I need it and can hardly replace it, which is why I bought it in 20g form years ago. I need PB60 more often, and I have 100g on hand. Nowadays, I actually need PV23, less often because the magnesium violet and ultramarine violet that I bought as pigment are much more intense than the watercolour tubes with the pigments that I have seen so far.
There are also a few different ones with the PB60, at least that's the case with watercolour, I have 4 tubes of them from Daniel Smith, Windsor and Newton and White Nights, and they look different. The DS one is a little more violet and deeper than the other two, the most neutral blue is that of WN and that of W&N is in between. Mine from Turner is just a dark blue and much weaker than the others. Only add a minimal amount of water, and it will be lighter, and the others need a lot more water to become lighter. This was the worst pigmented watercolour tube from a Brand with good reputation, I have so far. Some time ago I mixed pastel colours with Van Gogh titan white watercolour and 1 to 1 mostly worked, and I expected to need a lot more white because PB60 is a very intense colour. 1 to 1 was an extremely light pastel blue, and I had about a 5 to 1 ratio to get it to fit. So I'll never buy the tube again, unless it was just one faulty tube among many good ones.
Finally an answer to all the questions... Okay but really, pretty cool stuff, my favourite part is where you mix something, say it looks like 'x' pigment, and I'm here nodding my head like I know what it is.
@MrPigments I find that very inspiring. Now... when are you going to do the video on your favourites acrylic whites/ off whites, and how to get them smooth?

@@jc-aguilar I will be using pb60 more often honestly

You just reminded me I need PB82, I dont have any at all.

When I need pv23 I need pv23 but I seem to use cobalt violet way more which is hard for me since its an extinct pigment now.

turner can be hit or miss with their watercolors. Their acrylic gouaches however are where they show how well they can make paints.

@@archg8323 to be fair I have no idea what I'm talking about myself so I just nod a long too.

@@archg8323 My favorite white paints already dry smooth. But white paint tier list coming soonish.
@MrPigments damn right it is! You'll get a million views from everyone who's painting miniatures
Rest in Peace, Brush😅.
