Your video is awesome , now i understand which colors to mix to get nice colors or more muddy colors ! I bought the Daniel Smith Set, and their secundary trio with a nice orange, green and violet! So my painting world is open !
I just ordered a mixing Palette just for this purpose! I have a silly question.... If a color is called Magnesium Green [Grumbacher Academy], but the pigment is PB 36, wouldn't that make it a Blue? A bit silly, I know but I'd love to know your thoughts please!
Hmm, that is an interesting question! I would think that you are right and that it must be a very green-leaning blue version of the PB36 pigment. It does get kinda confusing when it comes to paint names, as I think different manufacturers name their mixes however they want. I own a bunch of dry pigments used for mixing your own watercolors and I have many that are the same pigment name but are definitely different hues or shades, within the same major hue, so maybe this version of the PB36 pigment (depending on how it was created) is particularly green biased so they are naming it as a green.... I just looked at the color online and it is very turquoisey, they even mention that it is also known as Cerulean Blue Chromium, so definitely a blue pigment :)
Thanks for the explanations und comparison between DS and Schmincke. That was very helpful.
