Yesss please do a quin gold hues comparision. Many watercolorists are still on the hunt for the perfect dupe of the original PO49. Though I have never used the original version, I still enjoy using Jackson's version of Quin Gold hue. Such awesome warm yellow for mixing greens.
Awesome comparison! I definitely prefer the Winsor & Newton and DaVinci versions because I prefer the clean, lightness of these versions. They mix gorgeous greens and the W&N New Gamboge which has PY150 as the base is the primary yellow on all of my palettes. The Daniel Smith version looks like the pigment isn’t milled as finely which gives the paint a dirty quality. Thank you for comparing these!
hi jael! i dont believe i’ve seen u around before, welcome to the channel! 🥰 oooh i’ll need to go take a look at that w&n new gamboge. 😊 oohh i didnt think about milling finely or not, that would make a lot of sense. thank you for your insight. and thank you for watching and commenting 🥰👍🏻😊
Interesting that the Rembrandt is called Aureoline. I actually use Nickel Azo Yellow as a replacement for my genuine Aureolin (PY40) which is a lovely transparant cobalt yellow but it has some lightfastness issues (see Bruce MacEvoy's handprint site where he tested it). Rembrandt might be expensive abroad but here in the Netherlands (Talens is a Dutch brand) it's cheaper than Winsor & Newton. Rembrandt is a decent paint but I'd say it's not quite of the level of W&N, DS and Blockx.
PY150 is my favorite for a transparent yellow, but i also have PY175 for a cool yellow and PY110 for the warm yellow, i think any brand of PY150 is acceptable, i have the sennelier one since its cheaper than the rembrandt one i use this color very sparingly since a little goes a long way with mixing this. Yes, i really want da vinci to be more accessible outside of the us, while da vinci doesn’t offer very granulating color like daniel smith, schmincke or roman szmal it does have great price for standard color like phthalos or quinacridone and their offer the big 37 ml tube too.
ohh that's a nice range of yellows in your palette ;D wwait, da vinci isn't great with granulation? that's odd. i feel like someone else said da vinci did granulation well. oh well, DS will always come first lol
@@PaintinHiding i kinda word it weirdly i think, i meant that the granulating color in da vinci isn’t as pronounced as other brand that offer the same pigment ( from what i seen online that is). the easiest way to get da vinci for me is ask my relatives in the US to buy some and shipped it here but shipping from america to indo is a pain in the butt. Yes i don’t really need that many yellow tbh, i more partial to red, pinks and blues. the other yellow is yellow ocher and i classified that as an earth color, there’s is one more yellow that i probably want to try and that is the PY159 volcano yellow from schmincke, i believe w&n also carries it. Other yellow just doesn’t speak to me
@@ari_9354 oooohhh ok yeah i think i know what u mean now and i definitely agree. re:davinci, i actually contacted them once asking about if there are other shipping options. they said they’d get back to me but i never heard from them. it’s been monthssss haha~ yeah im with u on that, i only have a few yellows i need. turquoises i need a lot of 😅😂
you're welcome, and welcome to the channel! :D 🥰 let's see... first of all, everyone has a different idea and preference of what they would call a "nice" green. if you're more of realistic painter, then i'd say you can mix this PY150 with any warm blues like ultramarine blue, cobalt blue, cerulean blue, indanthrone blue and you would get realistic greens for landscapes as an example. however, if you're more of an illustrative painter and you prefer brighter more non-realistic greens, i suggest mixing this PY150 with cooler blues like phthalo blue PB15, phthalo turquoise PB16, cobalt turquoise PG50, PB28, PB36 or you can even mix it with a phthalo green PG7 or PG36. hope that helps :)
Ah, py150. My beautiful green maker. Such a beautiful, glowy color. I just don't like mixing browns with it because that yellow glow will shine through. Or maybe it's just the cheap paper I'm using. I have the White Nights version and the Da Vinci version. I definitely prefer da Vinci. It's stronger and while I can't put my finger on it there is just something I like more about the hue. I mean, they look the same but there is just something I like more about the color of Da Vinci.
Did you see diferences in saturation? I've only own White nights and Rosa Gallery versions and the rosa's seem much more earthy. They are the same hue, but one looks like an middle point between a bright ochre and a real nickel azo yellow :0'
I love this yellow! It's my main mixing yellow, together with Quin Gold (Which in its current form, in itself contains PY150 as its main pigment). Also, OMG yes, please to Da Vinci at Jackson's! Although I'm not super optimistic. I'm sure there are many more like us, and I'm sure both Jackson's and Da Vinci are aware of that. I wonder what's the obstacle...
i think davinci just probably doesn't want to pay whatever price it is jackson's is asking for because jackson's definitely needs to be paid for stocking a brands' products. either that or da vinci already has plenty of orders within the US to more than sustain them.
The DS had quiet the drying shift there. I think Da Vinci speaks most to me, it seems to be softer than the others while still having the full range of the pigment. The Rembradt though it doesn't go as dark as the others, is still lovely and probably sufficient for mixes. :) Thanks for the comparison!
Everyone's favorite yellow! I have M Graham, DaVinci, Qor, W&N, Schmincke. I actually really like the "cleanness" of the W&N and Schmincke (notice they file theirs under regular yellows and the other brands put them with earths). My DaVinci seems greener than the others to me in person, although for some reason I don't see that here. I swatched mine fresh from the tube.... I agree there aren't many transparent yellows. PY 175 is a good transparent lemon, and PY 154 is a very nice pure middle yellow, although it seems just a TINY bit less transparent than PY 150 or PY 129 (but still much more transparent than most yellows). I haven't tried PY 128... I'm intrigued now! What paint do you have that uses PY 128?
that's odd about ur davinci being greener. i dont see that at all in mine. i think maybe different batches of production? yess i'm so glad you understand my little complaint about transparennt yellows haha~ oh PY128... i have vangogh's PY128 i think it's called transparent yellow medium or something like that. rembrandt has it as well if u want to go straight to artist grade.
@@PaintinHiding Actually I reswatched it from the pan after I let it dry for a week.... and it's different now, more like the others?!?! I wrote a long post about it to awatercolorist 🙂
I think everybody should sell Da Vinci because they make wonderful watercolors, but maybe I'm a bit biased. They are one of my favs though. I love Daniel Smith too, but DV first. And yes, I have and love the DV Nickel Azo Yellow because yeah.
BTW, I don't think it's a price thing. Rembrandt watercolors are high quality and well regarded artist grade paint, and apparently they are extremely expensive in North America. Personally I really like them in general (DS ane my absolute fav. MG seem fantastic too but I'm not sure they'd fare well in my local climate (hot and mostly humid)
hot & mostly dry here in arizona desert yet MG is hard to dry out here, hard to believe considering it usually rains only once a year where i live. i put some in a pallet & didn't use it for 3 yrs & it's still gooey enough to run if i don't keep it flat. i do love the paints though.
It's already a mispronunciation of word "Kambhoj" (pronounced: cum-bhu-j). It is the name of an ancient Buddhist kingdom in South East Asia from which modern day Cambodia traces it's origin. It was an amalgamation of the Kingdom established by Indian Merchant Princes and local SEA population. A culture which equally favoured war, trade and art, it refined and perfected many of India's artistic and engineering traditions. The culture is gone for so long and it's name distorted so much, at this point it doesn't even matter what you call it. If you still want to make an effort, call it Cambhoj.
ah i love py150. I often use it as the only yellow in my palette XD Any brand will do, I currently use Roman Szmal but I love the Mijello Version too. I also use Rembrand's Gamboge interchangeably so glad I'm not the only one, haha XD I love using these wet-in-wet because they push other colors.
The way to tell which is the most pigmented is to look at the darkest value of the dried pigment in the pan. Just because its not rewetting that easily doesn't mean it will not layer into the richest most pigmented value. That is a rewetting issue. Not a pigment load issue. To me, Daniel Smith doesn't layer into the richest darkest hue. It will only get so dark and its done. Yes, its rewetting, luckily because I have found DS to be a pain in the rear about rewetting dried pigment in many of their paints. It looks to me that you have loaded more Daniel Smith paint onto the paper than the others because it was the easiest to rewet. Piled it on thick. DaVinci has the greatest value range from light to dark when layered enough. I have all of these brands and more except Rembrandt.
thank you so much for the info! that's incredibly helpful! and this is why i prefer showing my swatches in real time so that, like you, viewers could see how much paint i'm supposedly picking up and putting down. thank you so much for teaching all of us!
