Quin burnt orange was included in the secondary color set by Daniel smith and it instantly became one of my favorite colors to play with. To my eye it just pops every time I use it.
Hi Nicole! I’m glad you mentioned that paint manufacturers should state that quin gold is a hue. It’s not a huge issue, but it would be nice if manufacturers would state when paints are not made from the original pigment (or the original pigment mix). Many, many paints today are actually hues, not the genuine pigment (sap greens, Hooker’s greens, Payne’s greys, siennas, umbers, etc). Occasionally, even PG7 is marketed as Viridian.
I agree . Oh I hate when phthalo green is marked as viridian. I just filmed a mission gold watercolor unboxing and swatch video and noted the same thing with theirs . Love their paints so far BTW . However their viridian is actually phthalo green yellow shade . Now I like both colors and use both but as I'm sure you know they are completely different pigments with completely different properties and characteristics. I've fallen in love with genuine viridian. Specifically the Winsor Newton viridian. I just love it's subtle nature , softness and granulation. It's amazing for mixing greens for botanicals and foliage , as well as blues , teals , and my own moonglow ( Daniel smiths is fugitive because of the pr177 ) . But I also love viridian for painting seascapes . Or really any water . Beautiful and realistic water textures in a tube . I love it 😍 💖
@@nicolemartinart5819 Wow! It’s like you read my mind 😂. I love Viridian for th same reasons. I only got it in the past few days, but I’ve been suspecting for a few months now that it would suite me more than PG7. I don’t use PG7 full strength so there is no point in having it on my palette. Viridian, having a much lower tinting strength, affords me more control in mixtures. Viridian (or diluted PG7) is perfect for Mediterranean waters, especially near the shore. And I’m glad you mix your own Moonglow dupe; I get the impression that not many people are aware that PR177 is fugitive. It’s not a problem, though, if your not selling your art or not hanging it on a wall.
@@awatercolourist I think it's a problem for everyone whether you are selling your artwork or not. I'm a professional artist but before then I still had a strong passion for my work and I want it to last but also ,,,, the tube from DS says lightfast 1 . It's the responsibility of the art company to be accurate and honest . If they mark it as fugitive and people still chose to buy it then that's fine. And I'm sure they will but at least they will be making an informed choice. Anyhow it's easy enough to mix a moonglow dupe but I wish I didnt have to. It is a bit inconvenient. Back to what you were saying about viridian, I agree 💯 . It's such an underated color. Just make sure you wash your hands after painting with it and never spray apply viridian as it is toxic . I'm thinking of doing a color spotlight soon on viridian and all my favorite mixes 🙂
I would have liked to see you stretch the variation with Quin Gold with more Phthalo blue added. It becomes more deep sap green rather than olive green. Thanks for sharing. I have both the original PO49 quin gold and the new Quin Gold hues. Daniel Smith, Quinacridone Gold and Quinacridone Gold Deep was once made with PO49. Quin Gold makes the best earthy greens mixed with PG7. (Phthalo green BS.):or PB16. Phthalo turquoise.
Yes, quinacridone gold comparison!
I Quin Gold video would be great!

@@nicolemartinart5819 An excellent point about company’s responsibility to be accurate. And thanks for the safety advice regarding Viridian!
I agree!
