I’ll be very honest - I purchased almost every natural looking green color for my dry gouache palette, however the best was from mixing my own. You can mix ultramarine with some yellow ochre or a warmer yellow and play around with the colors
Absolutely you can! And the best colours are usually the ones mixed yourself from a limited palette but sometimes for ease I want just a dab of colour to add to something else like for example a dab of green to add to a pink to knock it back and then it’s just so convenient to have a premix that I already like on hand. But I agree the best colours are the ones you make yourself because then you can get just the exact tone you are wanting 👍🏻
Lovely Art Haul. I have Neocolors but they are the Neocolor 2’s have not tried the Neocolor 1’s. I like Holbein Gouache i have a small set. I too have used Talens sketchbooks the paper is lovely. xxx
Thanks so much, I appreciate you watching! I love the fact that the Neocolor l’s don’t dissolve and you can retain some of the mark making especially when your sketchbook page is a little wet. I actually love them both, the l’s and ll’s and they have been a great addition to my art materials. Thanks for sharing 🩷
I too love the NeoColours, I originally only used the 2’s but when you do a lot of mix media work, sometimes you just want the colour to stay where you put it and the 1’s are great for that.
Exactly! Often I don’t want the mark I’ve made to dissolve or disappear so I’ve been using the 1’s for that reason. I actually find I’m using the 1’s more than the 2’s now. I need to collect a few more colours.
Lovely art haul video. Thank you! Hard to select colors from color charts online; I relate. Videos like yours help folks get a look at the paint on paper and thats invaluable. I looked at pigment info for Moss and Elm and they are both listed as a mix of PY42 and PG8 (Pine Tree Green also has that mix). Maybe consider one of the other greens Holbein Leek, Russet Green, or Evergreen? I have also had the experience of shopping for a Neocolor ii and almost purchasing a Neopastel because even the search engines get confused. ;). After a few times of that happening, I ended up getting some oil pastels, and the Neopastels were on my list ha.
I should definitely have looked more closely at the greens. I had a beautiful deep dark blue green in the ShinHan brand that I deleted from my basket that I should have got instead😝 Next time! I’m glad I’m not the only one that means Neocolor and is thinking Neopastel. I could have kicked myself when I was editing and kept hearing myself call them Neopastels 😝🫣 And thanks for the Paint suggestions I will have a closer look at the pigment info - great tip for next time thanks
😂😂😂😂 it’s problem! 🫣 I often tell my husband - some girls buy fancy clothes or have a shoe addiction or have their nails done regularly. I do none of those. I just like art supplies 😝
@@heidishedlock-acreativelife me too I’m waiting on 4 things for $455 this week ssshhhhh Derwent pastel pencil 72 set the pH Martin set and 2 gauche 🙏 I got a lovely new set of mission gold watercolour set last week I will do a vid when they come awww so excited
@@timbrant1538 yay! Glad you found it, I was going to direct you to my video on the brush pens so that you can make some of your own too if it interests you. I have really enjoyed using them and love that I can make the colours I love to use. The pens add a nice little pop of colour and some linear elements to the drawings. Thanks so much for taking the time to watch, much appreciated Tim.

What is the paint pen brand you use in the end? Transparent pink & blue. Enjoy your work. Thanks for the video.
I looked back in your videos & have the answer. Watched how you filled empty brush pens!!!
