Oh my goodness! I'm SO IMPRESSED with the Winsor & Newton yellow ochre! I KNEW I liked it most for a reason! I've got to say I REALLY like Holbein as well. I'm keen to try the Schmincke transparent yellow ochre as well; I really appreciate the transparency. It's weird because I love Naples Yellow (PBr24) which is pretty opaque, but I love the transparent yellow ochres best.
I get you Heidi, it's nice to have opaque colors for when you want that effect, and then very transparent colors for other times. Colors in between, where it's just slightly opaque I struggle with the most.
thanks so much for this. I only have one yellow ochre, Sennelier, and this is so helpful in knowing what I can expect from it. I had debated buying the Daniel Smith but then decided against it since my Monte Amiata Natural Sienna (which is unique in its class I think) fills that niche, so I am glad I didn't go with that after seeing your swatches.
I know I'm an oddball and yellow ochre was a fast favourite for ages and then I realized that I get better results from raw sienna and I know they are a bit different tonally but but love the transparency of it with the brands I have (and ignored). Still love to mix with yellow ochre but since I realized that raw sienna gives similar mixes and is a 'cleaner/transparent' variant it's become one of my favs in my comfort palette.
@@anam00090 I have a few and they are true not transparent but much more so than my yellow ochres. My very favourite is from the CassArt Travel Set (little tiny pans). I'm not sure if their tubes are the same but it's on my try out list but its got a beautiful glow to it and is on the yellow side. Makes great greens that suit my needs. White Nights leans towards earthy brown and more noticeable granulation and Sennelier is right between the two.
P.S. Checked the cassart site and their own paints are on sale. If you're in the UK raw sienna is £3.80 for 10ml tube and it definitely says theirs is transparent.
I really like the neutrals/greens these mixed! Those are some really lovely colors. The variation in the color is really interesting. Wonderful video, thank you!
Really helpful! Thank you soo much for this video! It cleared a lot of my concerns and I was almost about to getting mission gold thank god I saw this video before that happened! I did my homework and I think of might get Daniel Smith's yellow ochre! Again thank you soooo much! :D
I love this series so much!!! I hope you do one on indanthrone blue, they greatly vary from brand to brand, and I'd love to see a comprehensive comparison among them. Indanthrone of MG, DS, Mijello, Holbein, Sennelier, etc!
Thank you so much! Was looking forward to this and it really is so incredibly helpful!! Im not sure which is my favourite still . I’m looking forward to more comparisons!!! May I ask if you have time, can you do a comparison of burnt Siennas , transparent red oxide OR sepia at one point (trying to set up a skin palette with transparent, non Granulating colours... so difficult!!) ? I’m trying to decide on these ! So sorry to ask. I watched your comparison of the burnt Sienna with a few colours - so helpful! thank you so much for that episode too ( thank you for all of them actually!)💙
Wonderful video as always, Oto! This series is so fun! My fav is still daniel smiths, as it was before! I haven't had as many issues with the tinting strength actually, my mixes look similar to the Holbein version in your charts. I also tried mixing it with Corbazole Violet just now and got a really strong chocolate brown so thanks for inspiring me to try something new with this color haha
Dr. Kano, in your expert opinion, what watercolors by color name and by brand name would be considered essential for an 18-well palette? I stumbled upon your channel quite by accident and am so appreciative! In reading the comments of others, I see that I am not alone.👍🎉
Absolutely, I have a video here of 12 colors I recommend, in Holbein, Sennelier, Daniel Smith and Schmincke ua-cam.com/video/lboOrFAnzB4/v-deo.html I would then recommend adding any convenience colors you like to use often on top. I go through the whys behind this palette, and how to use it for lots of different things in the series the video is part of.
I am glad I have the Holbein version somewhere in my collection. I did not hink there was such a big difference between the the transparent and opaque color. I actually brought yellow ocher light from W&N sometimes last year, it made mixing light skin tones a bit easier- now I wonder what the difference between that one and the regular yellow ocher is.
I wonder if Daniel Smith's "S shape" is from the water warping the paper. You said you used cheaper paper and in other videos I have seen the paper warp...just something to think about.
I onlh have a yellow ochre from Blue Pine Arts and was looking to get one in another brand for different mixes. Thanks I think I'll go with the Holbein because I'd lile something in the middle. I love it to mix some greys for shadows 😊😊😊. Thanks for your videos!!
@@OtoKano I really liked them bc they're very pigmented and rewet easily. The colors are very vibrant and thats where I learned I liked the yellow ochre so much hahaha. Totally worth checking them out. The creator Trupti is super nice and they mak watercolor journals too w handmade paper.
Hi, there! Im brazilian and here we have so little information about handmade watercolor. Could you share a good recipe of vehicle? Im mixing gum arabic, corn syrup, glycerin, destilared water and some clove oil...but it seams the percentage is not correct. Thanks! 😊
The percentage really does depend on the pigment you are using (the percentage change when you change pigment), and what kind of gum arabic you are using, how you are making them, etc. Really, the only way to figure out the right ratio of everything is experiment. Or you can try get hold of pre-made watercolor binder base as they come with a rough guide as to what the GENERAL ratio should be. Also, I don't think you need both corn syrup and glycerin. Just one should do.
@@OtoKano Thank you very much! I'll try using only corn syrup and a binder from W&N I founded here. I also printed a file with all pigments and the % of the filler. 😀
I currently have Schmincke transparent ochre. But after watching this I'm adding Holbein's yellow ochre to my wishlist!
Thank you! I use Holbein yellow ochre, because it is very smooth and doesn't have the reddish tint that some others have.

Hey, was wondering if there's a transparent Raw Sienna you'd personally recommend?

@@boxapaint569 thanks for the quick reply and recommendations! Will check out ^_^
That's a great tip, thank you so much Box a Paint, I will give mixing with raw sienna a go.

You are so welcome Boss Goose, thank you for watching it :D
I am just a beginner but I’ve already learned sooooo much from watching your channel. Many thanks ❤️
Really glad the videos are helping Catherine!
Thanks. I guess I’m sticking with Holbein. I’m almost out, and wanted to check with you before I ordered a new tube of yellow ochre. You’re a gem.

Of course babydoll, I will add it to the list of colors for my Patreons to take a vote on for the next season :)

wooo good to know Reo, thanks for letting me know. Mmmm I am going to have to try mixing the DS one with carbazole violet.

last episode i thought m graham was for me but after this episode holbein is just pure love hahaha
Yay :D What do you like about the Holbein the most?

I actually brought yellow ocher light from W&N sometimes last year, it made mixing light skin tones a bit easier- now I wonder what the difference between that one and the regular yellow ocher is.
I am planning to do some comparisons of similar colors within brands at some point :)

That's a good point Michelle, but none of the others have the pattern :/ It's so strange!

I don't think I've ever heard of Blue Pine Arts! What are their paints like?

I just tried mixing ochre with ultramarine blue just for fun and it was such a disaster.
What happened?
@@OtoKano puke colour
Mission Gold's #1 Yellow Ochre is such a disaster, lmao. WHY
I have no idea. Several people also commented that their Yellow Ochre No. 2 is not the prettiest either.
Py42 is Yellow Iron Oxide. Is that a different form of yellow Ochre? I thought it was a different pigment completely.
PY42 is synthetic iron oxide, where as PY43 is natural iron oxide.
Thanks! I sometimes get confused with synthetic/natural variants of the same color 🤔
