Swatch my Winsor & Newton professional watercolors with me!

- Today I'm continuing the series of swatching videos, filling up a spread in my small swatching book with these delicious Winsor & Newton professional watercolors. The colors that I have are so beautiful, and I enjoyed some gentle chatting while I swatched these out - an activity that allows my mind to be calm.

Thanks for this. I am considering getting W&N professional set of 12 as their pocket / field box and seeing these swatches is very useful.
Glad it was helpful, let me know what you think when you get yours!
If I must pick favorites (not easy!), it has to be M. Graham's Turquoise (I have a weakness for all versions of turquoise), and Daniel Smith's Isoindoline Yellow. It's a gorgeous warm yellow but it washes down to the sweetest palest peach. It's remarkable. It may be my #1 favorite color. I love swatching too. It lets me enjoy my beautiful colors pressure-free.
Oh, I feel you on the turquoise front, its such a gorgeous color! I've not seen the DS yellow you mentioned, will have to check that out, it sounds delightful! And yes, swatching is good for not feeling the pressure. Thanks for watching and commenting Lori!
Loved this relaxing swatch session. Don't mind the waffle at all. I fell in love with the Aqua green too. So hard to just pick one! After that the Phthalo Turquoise woukd be mu favourite.
Ah, thanks Suzi, waffle is all I'm capable of when painting to be honest! 😂 The aqua green really is a beautiful color isn't it.. one to go back to again and again! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment too Suzi! ❤
Late to your party but Wand N Alizarin Crimson is my current favorite wc paint color. This could change anytime though.
Welcome to the party Gail - always open to new peeps! 😘 Alia Trim is such a gorgeous color isn't it? I love using it too. Recently saw someone mention another red, need to hunt it down, it's more orange red, and looks like it would be a nice addition... 😎
I love your color choices, it makes for a very nice chromatic palette! my fav colors atm are winsor & newton’s french ultramarine, potters pink, daniel smith’s undersea green, and a handmade paint: butterscotch by good honey handmade- it’s a mix of a red and yellow ochre earth pigments & is currently my fav yellow ochre :) ✨
Oh, DS Undersea Green is gorgeous isn't it? Your handmade paint sounds beautiful, you can't beat a gorgeous yellow ochre! 🙂
Hello! I love your swatching and your colour selection 🙂
Ah, thank you so much! 😘
Your video made me laugh :) you actually are an artist, no one can define you except yourself. you have my permission to call yourself such. - I'm also not an "artist" but I call myself one all the time hah! keep being authentic.
Ha ha, thanks Annmarie! I think it's probably because I had a studio (for fashion design) within a community of professional artists, and so I feel like the word should not be applied to me and my doodles! 🤪 But thank you! 😘
Grief it's hard isn't it? Lost my dad 8 years ago and once in a while it hits me hard - so I feel your distraction! Love the aqua green and they have the best Potter's Pink!
Ah, I'm sorry for your loss Pierre. ❤It really is hard.. it's taken 18 months to be able to not cry when thinking about her, and I know it will get easier, but those 'important; dates are the worst. Sending hugs to you.
I will have to find the potters pink. It's a slightly granulating one I think? A few peeps here on the Tube have used it in their videos, so I may have to track a tube down to try for myself.
😄
@@EveAshford I think all potters pink are heavily granulating - that's why I love it - and they are the pinkiest of potter's pink!
Thanks Pierre - I've now ordered one, from Roman Szmal, to try out! Will report back! 😍
Thank you, I bought many of those because of your waffling :) Your waffling is costing me a lot of money, so I definitely prefer music in the background d:
Ha ha, this has made my chuckle this morning! Thank you! 😆
Wow I love your color choices 😍 I don't have a single favorite color but lately I've been so in love with winsor and newton manganese blue 🥰 I just love looking at it and just swatching it makes me feel happy as blue is my favorite color. I like your chatty videos so fun and engaging 🥰 I'm not new to art but still I can't call myself an artist so I would love to see you experiment and play with new colors and paint 😊
And sorry to hear about your mother, I hope you are feeling better now 🌺
Why thank you! I'm a little bit like a magpie, and sometimes for a treat I pop uptown to the art shop which has alllll the W&N colors to stare at! And if a friend is late meeting me, I invariably end up there waiting (and buying something new)! 😆 Manganese blue is such a nice color isn't it? Its in several of my small palettes, but I'm still always more drawn to Prussian Blue. 😍 I'm glad the chatty videos are enjoyed - I don't really know how to not talk, and I'm not one for absolute silence when making a video, I'd rather get to know people in the comments and I'm not sure that's possible with a silent video. So plenty more chattiness to come! 😆And thank you, much better now, I painted my way out of the sadness. ❤
@@EveAshford I always say it's much more enjoyable to hand out at an art store than say a coffee shop 😂 waittt I can't believe I forgot about Prussian Blue 😩💙 I love it's hue and how dark it gets!
Oh no, how could you ever forget about Prussian Blue? 😆
Love my PO73, Red Orange
Oh, lovely color! 😍
I'm from Cambridge but I live in Germany (near the Dutch border) now - I say cobalt and pipette like you, I think the other ways might just be regional variations/American English :) it's so nice to make art videos, I started at the beginning of the year and it's been so fun. I didn't study art either, in fact I did my PhD in biology - but I think we're both artists. You don't have to be skilled at art to be an artist... some people go their whole lives without making any art! how crazy is that!
Oh, how fab, I'm glad to meet a fellow Cambridge born person here on the Tube! And thank you for the cobalt / pipette confirmation, I was so curious about it. I'll pop over to your channel this morning to check out your videos, lovely to meet someone new to this art video fun! ❤
Oh no way, small world! Hope you might like my videos too 😁
@@chromaphile I've just seen you have two Roman Szmal videos up. Have you seen Jackson's have them on sale this week? I *MAY* have added a couple to my basket already.. any recommendations? (I will watch your videos later!) 😍
I did see that there's a sale but the customs fees into Germany from the UK are so awful I really can't order from there (I use artemiranda or Peter's Art in Berlin instead). My favourites are quinacridone scarlet, autumn green, nickel azo yellow, and literally all of their blues... nickel titanate yellow is a fun one too (I have a video mixing it with other colours if you want too see what I mean)
@@chromaphile Oh really? I think the difference in VAT between the UK and Netherlands is just 1% and I make sure to come in under the customs threshold. Anything higher in value I ship to my Dad and then pick up and sneak back when visiting! 🤪
Thank you - I'll check those suggestions out and will check that video too!
Cobalt blue and pipette - correct both!
YES! 😆
14:19 Pipette is a french diminutive word (li,e cassette, small box) meaning small tube. So the "I" is pronounced like "e" in English. People pronounce it differently as they go for the English pronunciation of "i" . You got it right, same as cobalt, with accent on the first syllable.

Waffle away! I prefer talkers to music any day.
Ah, thank you! I know I definitely engage more with other people's videos if there's waffle instead of music! 😉
same here! I love to hear your thoughts, it’s comforting in a way. also very encouraging to do art and listen :)
@@verditerthistle Oh, thank you for this, I shall keep on waffling! 😉❤
I love and want these professional watercolours but at $18/$28/$63 NZD a 5ml/14ml/37ml tube = $400-$1500 for your 24 colour set… I mean, I can afford that but I just can’t justify it for myself since I’m only a wannabe artist/professional buyer of supplies I already don’t use 😂 so I just live vicariously through swatching videos ❤
My fave colour is actually the Cotman Hookers Green Light - I don’t even think the professional Hookers Green is as nice as the Cotman light
Payne’s Grey is a close 2nd
I LOVE 'professional buyer of supplies'! 🤣 But yea, the conversion rates are not great for NZ or AUS I think... I like hookers green mixed with various reds, to create nice dark tones. Have you tried? And Paynes Grey should be essential in any palette! 😉
I love quin gold, but my favorite color overall is Michael Harding cerulean blue…
Oh, I've not used any Michael Harding yet. Will have to check out the cerulean blue! Thank you for sharing Jessica!
Your channel is gorgeous
Thank you Mateus!
Please get Winsor and Newton paints grey - it has a blueness that other brands do not have great and I think better for folds on denim!
Hmmm. I do already have it, I thought it was in the video. Will have to go check, but thank you for the tip re denim folds!
You do have it, it’s on the 2nd row, bottom left 🤗 straight under the white
Yeah, I checked my stash because I was so sure I had it! 😎 I've mostly been using the Daniel Smith one which is absolutely beautiful! 😍
Can I use this to mix for nail builder gel color customization
I have no idea, so sorry! I use them only for painting on paper!
Your color choice looks pretty. But the Green Gold and Olive Green look very similar. It looks like you pick wrong paint from your palette as the Green Gold.
I think you are absolutely right! 😁 The 'olive green' came out a tad more yellow than I thought it should look! 🤣
I’ve had Windsor Newton for about 12-15 years. It was the brand I bought to start watercolors.
I was just checking to see if anyone mentioned that the Olive is accidentally put instead of green gold…I love both these greens and felt pretty sure you had olive green swatched twice and missed green gold. It’s gorgeous color and you will see when you swatch it!!
You are doing very good honey.
I’ve thought about starting a channel and I am not sure if I can talk and do something else at same time 😂
Of course I’m 64 and seems to have gotten worse the older I’ve gotten.
Thank you for showing us everything!!!
I love art and all types of card making and crafting supplies.
I haveWAY too much…lol
I taught Math for about 40 years and started painting in oils nearly 18-20 years ago. I’ve had to just learn from books until UA-cam!! I’m not good but I DO LOVE it!!! That’s what is important imo…you will improve with anything the more you practice.
Blessings from Texas

I can’t pick a favorite. I have so many brands and colors now it’s ridiculous and I love so many colors.
@@nancyrolfe3033 ah, thank you for such a lovely comment Nancy! Talking and doing is not something I can do well, which is why I tend to 'waffle' as my Ma would've called it! Re creating a channel: this is my second channel, my first being in the sewing clothes area... and this channel here is SO MUCH NICER to work on. The community has been incredibly warm and nurturing and I would highly recommend starting a channel if you feel its something you would enjoy! ❤ I imagine the oil painting was wonderful change from the maths - do you still use oils or have you switched to watercolours?
Waffle away.
Ah, thanks for joining me!!
I say cobalt like you, you pipette is pronounced pee-pet. It's a french word and that's how it's pronounced in french.
Aha, good to know that I am on the right track with both. Thank you! 😘
