      Zinc White is infamous among conservators for being generally terrible in an oil film. It doesn't bind well and can cause layers to delaminate over time. Lead is bar-none the best structurally, but Titanium white is okay too.

      @PrincessAloeVera 5 років тому +2

      I am on a budget too, but I've heard the most important "color" to get high end brands is your WHITE. If you have the right white your other colors can be less expensive brands. I have the MH titanium and I dont love it. It's making my colors chalky.. I want to try the lead white. And of course you just have to make sure you dont eat it or keep it on your skin.

    • @VickiNorman
      @VickiNorman  5 років тому +1

      @@PrincessAloeVera hello, thanks for your comments this evening. Because MH paints are made with pure pigment, they can seem to overpower other paints which contain a lower proportion of pigment in their tubes. So the quantity of MH white you require to lighten a mixture may be less than you are used to. This would account for the 'chalky' issue you are having.

    • @PrincessAloeVera
      @PrincessAloeVera 5 років тому

      @@VickiNorman Thank you for your reply and advice. I am a bit overwhelmed by all the color choices with MH brand. I bought the introductory set with 6 tubes and I like it but the yellow and red are both warm yellow and warm red. I did find that the burnt umber and the red make a great burnt sienna and the burnt umber and the ultramarine are really nice deep dark bases for making different "blacks". I do want to try painting with only those colors for a while tho, since my assumption is that these particular tubes work well with each other and create good color harmony as a limited palette. Is there a demo with this set anywhere? I haven't seen one yet but it would be helpful and interesting. Thanks. ps this is my first experience with oils, this starter set. I've mostly primary colors in watercolor and messed around with acrylics some. Do you have any suggestions for a good medium to use for those who are sensitive to solvents? I'm not sure I can stay with oils but I sure would like to.

      @@PrincessAloeVera I don't agree with the importance of good white paint. In fact, Titanium Dioxide is one of the cheapest pigments (even used in toothpaste) and even student grade whites can be quite heavily pigmented (Van Gogh brand is a good example). I'd rather have a genuine cad yellow than a expensive tube of white to get the most out of my money. I've once seen a video claiming a professionnal grade white would automatically improve the quality of all mixes... Which is just not the case.

    @miric6224 Рік тому +2

    The amount of yellow wasn’t consistent. You added little to the first white and much more to the second white…. You even add more color ie red to fourth white. Hardly a good comparison. The value of the blue in first color was way too much more than the amount of yellow. You’re actually mixing the hues into white to get a value you want, rather than what the whites will produce. Sorry, no so useful…….more of a random sample rather than a performance sample.

    • @Sunny_Blue_
      @Sunny_Blue_ 4 місяці тому

      I thought the same. The demo would be more convincing if she used a more precise measurement strategy. Even a ml or a drop of colour paint changes the final value of the white mix.

  • @DizzyCsango
    @DizzyCsango 4 роки тому

    Fortunately, like other color houses, MH is phasing out the zinc component in their titanium whites (I'm assuming they will keep pure zinc white for those who like to live dangerously) although pure titanium is of course far from an ideal alternative.

      You will die eventually - hate to be the one to break this to you.... (that reads as being rather nasty, but I say it with a merry twinkle!). Lead white is not to be trifled with, but if used properly is not dangerous: don't eat while painting with it, don't get it into open cuts, and if you sand it (preferably don't) always wear an effective mask.

  • @Lytton333

    Can't get lead white anymore due too the stupid H&S EU regs not recognizing the tiny amount used by artists and allowing for it. Zinc white delaminates over time (I've seen it happen), so that leaves Titanium really doesn't it, so in terms of what is credibly available to the serious archival painter then this demonstration is somewhat pointless.. You should have stated categorically that MH stockists do not sell lead white to anyone in the UK excet certified restorers.

    A terrible comparison. She should have pre- measured the same amount of each of the whites and exactly the same amounts of each of the colors so we could see the difference in tinting strength and mass tone in mixes with these whites. She kept on dipping back into the tinting color to prove her preconceived notions of tone and strength of each of the whites, thereby making the comparisons nonsense. How hard would it have been to squeeze a similar-sized blob of each of the whites out on the palette, and then squeeze smaller-but-similar-sized blobs of the yellow 5 times. Do the mixes. Stop filming, clean the palette and begin again with the next color. If you're an Ambassador for MH paints, they'll give you as much paint as you want for an educational video about their product. You just wasted an opportunity to inform because you didn't do any planning.

      @@Kayem967 zinc white (zw) (PW4 on labels) is brittle when dry. Many artists in the early 1800's started using it as their primary white. Blue with zw for their sky, for example, and on canvas zw will easily crack unlike lead..even when dry lead white oil paint is still flexible. Zw is a cool white. I'm not into shifting from one white to another. I stick with one white and have learned to cool or warm up my white as needed. If you apply zinc white to a firm support like wood or a canvas panel then you may never need to worry about it. Even your titanium white and or lead white may be mixed with zw so be careful and read the label on your white. Zw pigment is fairly cheap and will often be used like a filler in other white paints or colors...to keep the price point down. Go to natural pigments website for more info.
