I LOVE Moonglow. I love granulating colors and Moonglow is just so mesmerizing. It is one of my favorite colors of all time.
:-) I must agree. I did a whole video review of just that color. Thanks for sharing. ua-cam.com/video/73xFI4M8W6I/v-deo.html
Very good lesson
Thank you very much!!
Thnks Kris, useful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Helpful info about Neutral Tint...thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. I'm just beginning to discover the uses of this color. I'm sure I will do another video on the topic in the near future. Have a GREAT day.
Cool greys vs warm greys always make the difference to a painting. A very helpful video, thank you.
Mixing can be a bit haphazard for a relative newbie like me, so some good greys are handy to have easy to hand. Nearly everybody uses Payne's Grey or they mix Burnt Sienna with Ultramarine Blue to get the tone they're looking for. Jane's Grey is a lovely Daniel Smith grey, but it's basically the mix of those two colours above.
I agree. I have made a habit of mixing French Ultramarine and Burnt Umber (instead of Burnt Sienna). I love the gray that this combination produces. But the convenience of a few good grays like Payne's Gray and Neutral Tint on my palette is extremely helpful in my watercolor practice. Have a great day and thanks for watching.
Yes, this was helpful, thanks Kris. I love to mix my own greys, but I also love to have reliable and consistent greys out of the tube. I would add that the "temperature" of a grey is more of a spot on a 2D (or 3D) map than a spot on a linear scale.
Excellent point. Thanks for adding this insight. I should have shared this image of Quiller's color wheel....which I usually have in the back of my mind when thinking about relative color values - m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Nv0hJpDXL._AC_SL1500_.jpg
Great video! I have all these colors as well; I love grays for value studies and moody monochromatic scenes. I'm glad you included the Mayan Dk Blue on the grays palette, I always use it as a gray too. One idea, if you have not tried Daniel Smith's Sodalite Genuine, I highly recommend it, since you like granulation. It's a Primatek paint with an astonishingly beautiful color with incredible granulation. I think the color falls somewhere between Indigo and Mayan Dk Blue.
Thanks Sarah. Great recommendation. I am providing a link to Daniel Smith's information about Sodalite Genuine, in case anyone in interested in learning more. danielsmith.com/color-stories/sodalite-genuine/
Please keep creating such content for absolute beginners like me...thank you so much and regards to you...stay blessed...from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Hello Pakistan. Nice to have you visit this channel. :-)
Very helpful Kris! I needed to add a few neutrals to the outside wells. I may throw in a dark perroline green with a cool black mixed in. I know you suggest watercolor books to buy, ( or check out at the library which I probably owe $ 10,000 to, from 25 years ago. Lol. ). Can you suggest a good one for lighting and shadows? Thanks. Love the paintings behind your studio filming table. Really beautiful! - Messy Mendy. 🌞🌗🌙
Light and Shadow in Watercolor is a great book on that topic. You can find a link to it in the description of this video - ua-cam.com/video/Yf2KOHIwLS0/v-deo.html
@@KrisDeBruineStudio thanks so much! 👍
Love to know how staining these colours are. ;)
Most of these colors are low staining. Indigo is medium staining. All this information is found on the Daniel Smith website or as part of the Amazon product listing. You can conveniently follow the links in the video description. Cheers!
