Hello loves! This is months overdue, but it’s finally here! I was really excited for the episode all along, but it was rather intimidating to take on, hence pushing back the date so many times. I hope it was ultimately worth the wait! Also, I know I’m talking fast in this video. I’m sorry to those of you who it bothers, but there was a LOT of ground to cover, haha. You can always use the gear icon/settings to reduce the speed for a slower pace 😊 Enjoy!
In Liquid Color THANK YOU!!!
I actually liked having more mixes that I can study later.
5:12 "Caput mortuum used to be made from mummies...however I did a little bit of digging" 🤣 This was more funny to me than it should have been haha.
Love these colour spotlights! Your channel was the gateway to my watercolor addiction and love of swatching.
Bahahaha. Totally unintentional, but completely awesome.
Bwahaha good one!
😂
I have Sennelier's Caput Mortuum in my palette and find it lovely but I must admit that having a color named Dead Head with it's intriguing history on my palette was just too cool to pass by. I am sure this will come across as morbid but as an old lady I make plans for my passing, not that I dwell on it. When my body parts have been rehomed as much as possible then I would love to become a pigment and I would strive to give new meaning to moody soft colors with no hard edges. New Age alchemists are needed.
Hey Denise! Excellent information as always. I've shied away from these more opaque PR 101s in the past but have come to re-appreciate them lately, especially for plein air. In recent months I tried Renesan's Red Ochre thinking it was more transparent, it wasn't but still loved it. Caput Mortem looks VERY interesting. I was totally unfamiliar with it so thanks for that. I loved all the various color combos but the ones with turquoise and teal especially caught my eye. Some very nice landscape painting possibilities there. Thanks again!
Caput Mortuum is one of my absolute favourite colours in my palette. It's such a lovely rich purple-y red shade.
this video inspired my purchase of Sennelier Caput Mortum. What a wonderful color ! It resides on my floral palette as it is that purply-brown seen in many flowers and leaves. Warning-it tends to be very liquid coming out of the tube, i had to do some stirring in the palette, also it has never dried solid, so not good for travel palette (very much like M. Graham in texture). It mixes well with every other color on my palette. Thanks, Denise, for yet another great video.
I have heard Sennelier's tube of that color is a little unruly, but I'm glad you're enjoying it!
I have schmincke kaput mortuum but man, I really enjoy the beautifull okapi. Holy smokes this inspired me so much! Those beautyfull moody colors just love!
MESMERIZING!!!!!
I love Caput Mortem. I love the tone and this is a lovely review. Your colour spotlight series is one of my favorites.
It is a shame that the iron oxides get remembered for their 'dead head' gruesome member and not for their far far older and very long lasting use in cave paintings. I guess your Okapi sort of honours this though I don't think it was intentional! being one of the oldest artists pigments is quite a history. Loved your painting, btw, and I also love caput mortuum, it is a fantastic pigment in oils, but in watercolour has this velvety look that is quite unlike any other pigment. The red versions are ok, .i suppose, but I prefer the trans versions. All your mixes were a revelation, I never thought of any of these three as a mixing colour, but if you want a textural uniformity to your end result then I guess this would really help. Thwnk you for yet another interesting journey.
This is the kind of video's I like the most: so thorough and detailed, giving insight, the depth of it. Thanks a lot. It helps when choosing new colours.
The okapi is wonderful.
Hi! I am art historian. In class we used to say that the place were you can see more mummies where at the National Gallery of London... Loking at the paintings! We called It mummie Brown 😅 . Thanks for the video.
This series really feeds my soul! 🌞 Thanks for all your hard work in putting it together. 🙏
Oh hello there Caput Mortuum~ I’ve been playing around with finally making my first handmade watercolor and I kept coming back to Caput Mortuum. Thank you for the in-depth review, I can finally make that jump ❤️
Definitely worth the wait ! I am in love with the caput mortuum and indian red and their mixes. As for your Okapicorn- it is so incredibly beautiful and amazing watching you paint it Denise!!!. Thank you SO much for the swatches on patreon too- they are priceless.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and scans! Thanks so much for your support!
These have ended up being 3 of my most favorite colors over the last year and a half, and I love okapi's. Beautiful job on each, Denise! Thank you!
This painting is beautiful. I am certainly gonna miss this series. Happy painting Denise!
Gosh I love Indian red! Paint portraits all the time and it's one of my favorite colors to use :)
Sorry this is unrelated to this video but I just wanted to say I absolutely love your channel and all of the work you do! I got into watercolor after accidentily clicking one of your videos but I am so so glad I did! I finally bought my first professional watercolor set with the help of your reviews and I just want to say thank you for all the hard work you put into your content and helping me find a new passion in painting! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks so much Kendra! Welcome and I hope you enjoy your new watercolors!
i hope you do some more of this series, i've been missing it. i binged them on the start of my watercolor journey. LOVE the comparison of swatches. so helpful. the perylene maroon one i just rewatched and it reminded me WHY i tried the WN version. and i love that friggin color, it is so useful.
(hope you are doing better now than over a year ago. i haven't checked back for updates on this as life got crazy. but in know it was a hard time and you'd just moved. anyway, lots of love. to me, you are the OG of swatches and pigment colors. gave me a great education :) )
They're still in the queue!
In Liquid Color Fantastic! I totally look forward to it! :D
Thanks Denise. I've always been fascinated with Caput Mortuum and did end up buying Indian Red (as Jane Blundell is a fan of it). I am a sucker for any colours in this range. Daniel Smith's Lunar Red Rock is fairly similar to the Indian Red.
Omg Denise this is animal is beautiful!! I love the PR101’s they look absolutely stunning! I’m definitely going to try out that Indian red looks so nice! Also the caput mortum looks very similar to peidmontite genuine but the caput mortum being more violet and the piedmontite being more red.
Yes, they're very close! I almost accidentally scanned the piemontite swatch because it sits next to the CMs in my binder 😂
I have both, and they are very, very close as Denise said. But the piemontite is much more granulating. (By the way, I'm also a poodle lover...we own two, well actually, they own us!)
My companion’s a mixed breed, but there’s poodle in there. On days when his coat is curled tight, I compliment him on his “poodly goodness.” 😜
Poodle Lover which do you find is better in mixes? The piedmontite or caput mortum?
Thanks for this! Especially showing those colour mixes, had no idea these were so versatile!
I’ve never even heard of that animal. My husband interrupted me and I asked him and he hadn’t heard of it either. But he glanced at the painting and said wow she’s really good! And that was just as you began. He didn’t even see the ending which I have to tell you brought me to tears. I’m amazed at Gods creation and this new discovery and the love and beauty with which you painted just welled me up with joyful tears of wonder. Thank you for such a beautiful experience! ❤️🙏🏼✝️💕🥰 I don’t even typically like paintings of animals! But I LOVE animals 🤷🏻♀️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for this! I love these opaque PR101s and I keep DS's Lunar Red Rock (which is semi-opaque) to throw into washes for dark red texture. I also have Venetian Reds by Sennelier and QoR (the latter is fabulous wet in wet) and M. Graham Terra Rosa which is gorgeous. I keep Sodalite in my palette ... I have used it with LRR but now I want to pull out those redder PR101s and have fun!
Awwwww! I love that you keep hitting such interesting animals. Okapis are so awesome! I love the butt stripes and you are right the texture almost looks like suede!
Agree. I’m so impressed with a painter who can pull that off! Gorgeous
Love love love these colors! They are so rich and yummy. Sad to see the series finish, but congrats on completing the whole series :D
I was curious to hear what you'd think of these opaque beasts 😁💜
Hello Denise, i am a New french follower, it is Such a pleasure to see your paintings
i love love your black Gorilla
and you give a ton of good explications thank you very much
I didn't know this episode was even coming up, yet I was wondering just the other day what your opinions of caput mortuum, Venetian red, and Indian red were-- and then this showed up on my feed! I think you're an angel. My dreams have come true 💞 Thank you for further fulfilling my watercolour/pigment obsession 😊
That is quite serendipitous! 💜
@@InLiquidColor It is! ♡ Oh, and one question I had for Caput mortuum and colours similar in hue to it (Napthamide maroon, Perylene maroon, and other deeper, earthy red-purple options): Other than pigments, what is the difference in the uses of these colours? I'm obsessed with this type of colour, but I can only afford to buy one, so I was curious which you would recommend as the most versatile option. I know they're all somewhat different in hue, but I can only rationalise buying one since I'm limited in funds.
@@zarwrites It really depends on your subjects, so I can't answer that outright. Perylene maroon is MUCH more red than the others, napthamide maroom and perylene violet are almost identical, and none of those have granulation. Caput and Piemontite have a lot of granulation, so it just depends on what you're looking for. In my Daniel Smith Swatch with Me Part 2 I go through all their lovely browns and talk about them a bit more.
@@InLiquidColor Yeah, when I said perylene maroon, I realised I meant perylene violet 🤦🏼♀️ Thank you so much for this input anyway, though I know it's all opinion and subject dependent. I like to paint a lot of portraits, but with a fantasy edge (magical humans, but also faeries, creatures, elves), so I often don't keep strictly to life. I only own DS's primary set and the DS secondary trio, so I'm looking to add a few colours as strategically as possible. I'm always drawn to earth tones ♡ I'll definitely give that swatching video a rewatch. I think I've watched it at least 3 times now, and that's holding myself back. I just can't get enough 😂👏🏻
Great mixes. Will have to study these. And lovely elephant!
I love Daler Rowney's light red! It's super soft, and a great base for skin tone, warm but not too "red" (vs brown)... been looking for a replacement for it (as DR is really hard to find), but so far not much luck... thanks for this video, helps me expand the range of what I might look into!
I know you have heard this before but you are a fantastic teacher and so spot on with your information! Thanks for your continued production of videos here on UA-cam. I wish I had the means to support you substantially on Patreon! Oh I purchased several trio's from DaVinci and I am looking forward to creating something worth showing soon!
Thanks so much for your kind words and support! I hope you're enjoying your DVs!
Yep still re-watching even if I am not re-commenting on EVERY one, I just cannot stop watching your videos as I am temporally un-able to paint just now. I am looking forward to getting a package in the post quite soon! I wish you luck with your sale and so glad I got my order in before the madness! LOL! Wishing you many sales and a smooth move!
I love your Okapi-corn! The first time I saw an Okapi was at the Columbus zoo about 15 years ago. I had never heard of them before. They are such unique animals. Thanks for you Color Spotlight series, I always learn a lot.
Oh my GOSH!!! The emotion you captured in the orangutan's eyes touched my soul. You are extremely empathetic!! And so very talented! I will be signing up for your Patreon channel in February since January is ending soon.
Thank you so much for the kind words Barbara! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you on Patreon!
A really nice caput mortuum is a PR102 from the Polish brand Aquarius.
One of my favorite Color Spotlights. I've been thinking of getting DV Violet Iron Oxide and seeing this video has convinced me that I must have it, along with the Indian Red. In a world of beautiful animals, can there be any more lovely than the okapi? It's one of my absolute favorites! Your painting is especially gorgeous.
Yay! Love this episode, and she is a gorgeous animal! I have always avoided using this opaque color. I have stuck with the M Graham trans red iron oxide, one of Steve's eight favorites. But that Indian Red is really beautiful, and that WN caput mortum is wonderful, like I need more paint! I don't think I have ever seen an okapi before. What a hilarious combination of a zebra and a more delicate African antelope! Love her! Thanks again for this wonderful series. I go back and watch them over and over, and learn something new each time I watch. My color wheels have gotten much better, but my searching 2 color mixing still leaves a lot to be desired. I know you think quin coral is kind of a useless color, but as a mixing color, it makes some heavenly colors! Thank you thank you for all you have taught me!
Oops, swatching, not searching. Darn auto correct!
Thanks Samantha! Fun fact, despite their appearances, okapis actually related to giraffe! Super apparent if you look at that tongue :D
W&N one has gone rock solid in my tube!
Last time I used it, it was a perfect pair with Prussian blue to paint a great blue heron they were so soft together and made beautiful neutrals ..... Then you shattered my world! 😩.... But you suggested anthiquinone blue , and while I don't love it quite as much, you definitely helped me pick up the pieces 💔😂😂😂😂😂 😘
You can still use Prussian (which is venetians compliment)! Just let your clients know about it's weird quirks haha. That being said, anthraquinone replaced my Prussian as a dark and I use phthalo turquoise when I need to add some green.
@@InLiquidColor I'd rather just not 😂 its like a bad break up if I see him I'm just going to want him to move back into my pallette 🤣...... and I won't use it in a commission
Haha, I'm with you! I'm sorry I was the one to deliver the bad news lol.
hi, Denise, a big hug from Argentina and happy returns to the color spotlight !
i'm a big fan of indian red
Now I need Caput Mortuum
I loved this video. Sometimes I get into the trap of, of its PR101, and think it’s just a flat rust but you really brought out the magic it does hold! Thanks Tracy
Thank you for this extended review! I recently traveled with Sennelier’s Caput Mortum and was frustrated with how to use it. I am inspired to go back and try some of those amazingly soft grays instead of digging it out of my mini palette.
Wow, I just love the way the colors mixed in the final drawing. You also made me want to play with Indian red and try coput mortum.
Thank you, wonderful job on these colors which I’m so in love with, they’re the ones I’m most fascinated with in my recently purchased paint set. Would you consider doing a spotlight on all the Madder colors across different brands in the future? ❤️ and understanding from a fan with chronic illness and pain myself.
Gosh, the mixes with caput mortuum are so gorgeous and speaking to me! Thank you for this colorspotlight! I already loved caput mortuum as single color but never really played mixing it with other colors since I often don't like mixes with highly opaque paints. I will go now and play with it! :)
I love this painting, it looks soft and alive!♡
I am a huge fan of PR101. I love both the transparent and opaque versions of the pigment but it took me time to get used to the opaque version of PR101, honestly.
My favourites are Lukas' English red deep and Rembrant's Indian red (PR101 and PR264).
I mainly use them for skintones mixed with Lemon yellow and for human hair (both red or brown, with a hint of permanent red or ultramarine blue), it also makes pretty trees and mixed with perylene green it can make beautiful deep foliage.
O my gosh, this video is awesome! The photos of the mixes are just outstanding and what beautiful mixes they are - all of them, moody or bright! Beautiful okapi and animal paintings, as well, Denise! Off the PR101 topic, a couple of days ago, two people and myself were discussing PR102. They explained that Mission Gold (pure pigments) uses the PR102 as Burnt Sienna. Do you have any mixes with PR102? They'd been taught to use Ultramarine Blue and a PBr Burnt Sienna to make gray and the Mission Gold PR102 Burnt Sienna with Ultramarine Blue produces a flat greenish color. I read that PR102 isn't used often so I thought it's odd that Mission Gold included that as the Burnt Sienna - perhaps the closest pigment in pure form that they could label Burnt Sienna? I saw it swatched and it appeared brown but the two stated that it tints out to an orange/reddish brown, which might be similar to M Graham's PR101, Transparent Red Iron Oxide. I thought if anyone knows about PR102, it would be you!
I just got the pure pigment set from them so I'll be testing it soon. Thanks!
@@InLiquidColor Wow, nice timing! 😊
Fantastic video - it was amazing hearing the history of the pigment and seeing the different mixes. For me, I use Daniel Smith Lunar Red Rock - it makes gorgeous granulating blacks with Perylene Green! I was wondering, does anyone know how this paint compares to Caput Mortum? I have White Nights English Red so I know that Lunar Red Rock is on the more Violet side of the pigment. I've always been facinated how this pigment can vary in hue!
If you look at this exact freeze frame (or the scans are on Patreon) you can compare the Lunar Red Rock to the Piemontite (which is very similar to Caput Mortuum): ua-cam.com/video/cwFt4gG93_E/v-deo.htmlh49m25s I hope that helps, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hi Emma! I have tubes of caput mortum from Sennelier and Winsor & Newton, and violet iron oxide from da Vinci (which is basically the same but different name). Comparing these swatches with the lunar red rock on my DS dot card, they are very similar--the caput mortum being slightly more violet. Hope this helps.
Beautiful use of PR101, Denise! Caput mortuum/violet iron oxide is one of my go-to colors for shadows, especially skin tones. Because it is opaque and tends to be staining, I like to use it on the base layers and then build depth and tone with more transparent colors. But that's just my way...there are a million different ways!
Thanks for sharing Melissa! It definitely is different from say the PBr7s with that staining power!
😍 Been trying to decide between Indian red and Caput Mortem...thanks for this episode!
Totally worth the wait! I loved this 3 for 1 deal. I’m definitely gonna have to add at least 2 of these to my palette, lol!
Something's different - either lighting, or the angle - the extreme closeups on Caput Mortum's granulation were just mesmerizing to watch! Loved the second season, you covered almost every pigment I was curious about in great detail ^_^ Plus, this episode's editing kinda feels like Jane Blundell's blog came to life :D Swatches in frame together are very useful, thank you.
The lighting and angle are actually the same as they have been (at least for the last six months or so) but I'm glad you enjoyed it! I do find this color gorgeous to watch given it's beautiful flow.
@@InLiquidColor I guess it's the color then - even swatches looked therapeutic :D Very enjoyable!
Ty for doing this one as have Caput in an acrylic tube & really couldn’t tell wet which way it leaned & now know!
Found out the Venetian red (when dry has duller look) so how would that color work for an animal’s tongue or part’s in the ears as heard either you or other person say used Ven. red for those areas!
Tried drawing a unicorn (needed bigger neck) but love how yours develop with each added “glaze” of final details ❤!
So worth waiting for ❤️ Okapicorn! I’m dying 🤣! And I feel so much more comfy about my Venetian Red despite being opaque.
It's like you read my mind lol I was just looking at these colors to make up my own mixing palette inspired by the one jane blundell has but was debating on DS Indian red and Sennelier's Caput mortuum since Sennelier is much more cheaper in my country . Hopefully I'd be able to finally buy my first artist grade watercolors and honestly your videos really helped me . Thanks for this video!!!
So glad it was helpful!
I just put together a Sennelier palette to compliment my Daniel Smith for doing illustration work and building up layers. I included both Caput Mortum (PR101) and Permanent Alizarin Crimsin Deep (PR206) by Sennelier. They are similar in hue but CM is opaque and granulating where Perm. Aliz.Crimson Deep is made from a quinacridone pigment and is transparent and non-granulating. I find them both to be essential colors for natural looking deep reds as well as for dark moody mixes. They help me get enough value contrast into warm subjects.
I think I need to add Indian Red to my collection. I only have 12 colours at the moment and I don't love either of my reds. Thank you for this video, it is so interesting to learn about different pigments!
Beautiful color combo,wonderful animal tfs.
Love this painting!
your painting in this episode is so beautifull! i wish to be able to paint in this level one day!
Hello, be carefull with PR101 and PR102. I haven t compared yet their mixes but PR101 is iron oxyde while PR102 is likely earth tone (ochre red), and earth tones are softer in mixes. PR101 is used also for burnt sienna alternative by winsor and newton, and it hasn t this muddy (not so clean but likeable) appearence of PBr7.
You are the best. Thank you.
I told my mom the bit about Caput Mortum having been used to be made from actual mummies... As she was giving me a bit of chocolate. A fine Monday evening, eating chocolate and watching a show that somehow turned momentarily to a talk about mummies in art. xD
Thank you for this! I was just last night swatching and puzzling over my new paint set (pans) which contains Mars Violet, Light Red, and Indian Red. The last two are only microscopically different looking, with Mars just slightly rosier. This set also has Gamboge & Indian yellow basically identical, Vermillion& perm red lt same, and Raw Sienna & Yellow Ochre looking the same. Clearly it is only student grade paint but odd to have padded the offering with lookalikes. Not the best representation of colors apparently. I am enjoying studying your videos so that I can be better informed to upgrade soon to quality tube watercolors. Keep up the great works! So helpful 😊
The pinkest versions of opaque PR101 (Indian Red) all work quite well for skin tones. But the Natural Iron Oxides do as well if they are pink enough. Thanks for what you share. I would love to see a color spotlight on phthalo turquoise. If you did already, I'm having trouble finding it. Thanks again.
YAY! Happy to see this again. :)
Loved this one!
I love this extended episode! Due to your recommendations almost a year ago I boutht M Graham's Terra Rosa to try it myself because it was such a beautiful shade however I can't find that many uses for it because it has such different characteristics from my other paints! I still love it tho and it has an unique spot in my palette thank you for recommending it!
Aw I'm sorry it hasn't been as useful for you and hope you can put it to use soon! I do find that I tend to use it apart from my more vibrant colors, such as here with the okapi or in the orangutan, but I just love the textures!
Absolutely give it a try ... just have fun experimenting! And if you like mixing colors, try a mix of M Graham's azo green and terra rosa. It makes the most intriguing brown shades, which I discovered by experimenting with unusual color mixes. (Not all of them worked, but that's how you learn and find more things!)
Melissa Bailey thank you both! I absolutely would! I find myself using more the schmincke venetian red in skin tones! Mixed with purples and carmines it creates lovely tones! Thanks for the suggestion I will try it:) I actually love the dark kind of purple great it creates with the PB60 I actually bought both at the same time just for that purpose and it paid off:))
@@melissabailey2209 Gotta try those two - thanks!
@@daruleos you're welcome!
I can't wait for the third series.
🎉🎉🎉
It has been sitting unemployed in all my palets. Schmincke sennelier and white nights. I will use it for skintones though since burnt sienna doesnt always get me that pinkish color. Now I need me a new mixing sheet,lol
love love love caput mortuum!
I'm surprised you don't have Daniel Smith's Venetian Red, I think it leans more toward your Indian Red paints, but it could be my monitor and how it displays colour. Definitely worth picking up, it's a beautiful version of PR101
Daniel Smith has so many amazing earth pigments, no way fore to get them all! Haha
Apart from the interesting comparisons of all the colours, I'm fascinated by your ocapicorn - and why you decided to leave the background untouched on this one. How do you decide when to leave it be and when to add some colour and splashes?
I love it!
LOVE HIM :D
I love your information but I have "southern ears" and I can't keep up with your words. I just saw your comment that I can slow the pace in the gear icon/settings. I think I might just do that. Thank you!
Hi Denise . You are my favorite watercolor channel . Trying to make Indian Red from Venitian .... What do you think would be the best mix. Tried with PV29(per violet), PV55(quin purple), PV23 ( Dia violet) and 32( bordeau) that I own ... With my trials, my conclusion was PV29 the best match. What is your opinion on that ... and ....how can I push it to Caput mortum ???
Thank you so much for being the wonderful Liquid color creator. Yes you made me spend .... but made me happy as welll. Nothing beats playing with my watercolors ! i have to admit, sometimes... should be painting more than playing ... :)
I have to confess I do not like Indian Red, Venetian Red, Caput Mortuum, Light Red or any of the opaque red iron oxide pigments very much at all. This is possibly due to a fairly (I think) ghastly version of the pigment I got when I first started with Winsor & Newton Cotman watercolours and their highly opaque Light Red many years ago. I do use some opaque colours but I just can't really take to this type of colour and don't think my work would find much use for it. I much prefer the transparent Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet from Daniel Smith or Brown Madder from Schmincke, which are similar hues but transparent colours. This is all probably very good news for my bank account; it's not like I need any more tubes of paint! Also, I don't think I ever said this but your brushwork, control, and expression are all excellent, Denise. I really enjoyed watching you paint this and the finished result here.
actually Cotman Light Red made me really love this type of PR101 colors! how funny!
if you haven't already, can you review the 16 set of Prang watercolors? they're really cheap and I've heard they're amazing for the price.
lunar red rock is also pr 101
Yay!!!
I loved this so much rolled into one video! I have to ask, are the bottom stripes Radom or do they belong to a specific Okapi?
They we're inspired by the reference pics I took but I went off on my own tangents 😂
Hi Denise, could you please tell me which mop you use at the beginning of the video? It's not listed in your Supplies. Thanks! :D
Ah sorry! It was the brush that came with my Sennelier palette. Im not sure off the top of my head but I did a video not too long ago :)
@@InLiquidColor Thank you Denise! :)
So I noticed your using davavinci paints are the your favorite paints? There are so many amazing brands out their why did you pick these? I have mostly Daniel smith and several others mostly like prima, Jane davenport, turner, & sennile sorry can't spell that one😕. I'm trying to build up my daniel smith collection. So should I try to get others or just keep building up my Daniel Smith? Thanks for all you great tutorials! Horses are my favorites, & a few birds.
There will be a video tomorrow revisiting my favorite brands.
Have you met them yet? Szmal aquarius watercolors in the ankle . Until now, they are quite new on the market.The sentence of someone from abroad in my opinion may be more objective. Although they are not available in your country?
A lovely brick red. Is Light Red related to Venetian red? I was confused with Light Red because it was brown.
Yes, it's briefly mentioned in the video but light red, English red, and Venetian red are all the same hue.
Just a question but in the Cerulean Blue Color Spotlight Episode, did you use Indian Red or Venetian Red? (PS im not on Patreon BUT I WISH I WAS ;-;]
Hi there! It was M. Graham's Terra Rosa, which is Indian Red like in color :)
In Liquid Color oH GrEAT!! Thanks for answering UwU
Oh wow. Caput mortum looks exciting. Thanks Denise. Do you know if this is a limited addition color?
So, I don't think it is/was but that being said, everywhere I looked last night had low stock or was sold out so I'm not sure if they're phasing it out or just behind on production? Maybe someone can help us out if they know.
In any case, Da Vincis isn't limited, plus I think Sennelier has one too. Piemontite by Daniel Smith is also very similar.
@@InLiquidColor Thank you Denise.
Hi Annette. Caput mortum (any violet version of PR101 by a different name) is a staple color for many artists, so I don't see it going anywhere for a long time. Even though I love saturated, bright hues in my watercolor illustrations, caput mortum is a go-to color for me when painting base layers and shadows, especially for skin tones. Did a quick check of 3 major brands that make caput mortum (Sennelier, Winsor & Newton, Schmincke) on 3 big art supply websites (Blick, Jerry's Artarama, Jackson's) and they are all in stock. Hope this helps!
@@melissabailey2209 Hi Melissa. Yes thank you very much. It's going to the top of my list on my next jerry's order.😁
For one of your trying new medium videos, you should try inktense blocks! It’s basically water soluble ink! I would love to see you try them!
Hi, Okapi! You've always reminded me of a real life mythical looking creature! (Was that an oxymoron?) I think the one winsor Newton I have is Indian red. Is that right? I have to go check. I'm walking R now and looking at the shades of desert. It would really capture the red Rock found here. As always good things come to those who wait! Wonderful video! 😍
It would be peeerfect for the desert! 😍 Hi Rais!
