    Cobalt violet is a transparent, not opaque color

      Thanks for watching! Close! I double checked my tube of Gamblin and it's actually right between opaque and transparent. Cobalt violet is marked as a *semi-transparent* pigment. I took a quick look at Micheal Harding and Winsor & Newton's versions and they're also semi-transparent. Either way, I've noted the correction in the chapters and in the video's description. This is a great example of double checking your tubes of paint because we might misremember properties on a seldom used tube and occasionally, manufacturers will change the vehicle (Linseed oil, safflower oil, etc.) or the pigment recipe (more common in pre-mixed paints, see asphaltum in my earthtone video). Thanks for the catch Jefferson50275!

    Great to see a color nerd in the oil and acrylic mediums! This was sorely needed in the community. I totally missed the beauty of the pigments when I went from watercolor to oils. Great Job! I am also enjoying your short videos on colors!

      Haha, yep - I'm definitely a color nerd, thank you for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying the videos and shorts 😃

    Great video! Daniel Smith used to make acrylics that were SO good. I still have some of the duochromesI use mostly for mini painting now.

      I’ve just recently started looking at the Daniel Smith line. I’ve been pretty happy with the few tubes I’ve gotten. Love their Asphaltum.

    There is also PV5 stable violet (shinhan), PV42 royal purple lake (old Holland), PV29 perylene violet, PV47 cobalt violet (Holbein). There used to be PV49 but Williamsburg discontinued this colour.
    PV14, PV15 ,PV16 all have two shades at least with one being more bluer than the other.
    Sad Daniel smith discontinued their oil paint range 2022, and now their water soluble range 2023.

      I know right?!? Daniel Smith made some unique colors I really enjoyed.

    Cobalt violet - like cobalt blue - varies a bit between manufacturers: without digging it out for a look, I think mine is a Winsor and Newton colour, and if there is any transparency to it..... well, it's not obvious to me. Not that I use it much: it can certainly lay down a wodge of opaque paint if used in mass tone; I've never thought to glaze with it; will give that a try. It's fiendishly expensive, no matter who makes it.

      Oh yeah, definitely read the details on those paint tubes! Especially the pigment numbers. Those can vary wildly too on the same "color name". I had bought the cobalt violet on a fire sale when a store was discontinuing selling a few brands they wanted to carry. I got it to give it a whirl, but it's not my go-to either. It grays too quickly in tints for me, but I can see the allure.

    They beautiful colors. Wander how they mix with Burnt Umber.

      I’m sure they’d mix some really nice shadow colors. Especially if layering with the more transparent purples.

    Very useful way to test the colors, thank you.

      Thanks! I kinda feel like tints only tell half the story with colors. Sometimes a painting requires a different approach by painting thinly or with glazes and I wanted to explore those properties. Cheers!
