    I have Aqua Green in my main Palette myself! I love teal and colors with big contrast between masstone and diluted tones, not to mention it's also a single pigment paint (the specific phthalo pigment it uses is Palomar Turquoise, a property pigment with no number code), so I really enjoy it 🙌✨️
    I use it for plants/trees in general. It's also good for dark, atmospheric backgrounds...and if you mix it with quin rose it makes a pretty, cool black 😁👍

      I edited my comment to, in part, thank everyone for saying the cool ways they use this color... but I wanted to let you know here how much I appreciated hearing that :) I wanted to buy it so much, but I only could because of having a small bit left of a gift card, otherwise not an option... so I looked for ideas and thoughts about it because it's my favorite color for sure, but I need it to be useful if I'm using up the last bit of that card.... but this video and your comment helped go for it so wanted to say thank you!
      I think its awesome when people share things they do back n forth... then we can all try new things.
      Anyway... sorry, just an excited old lady with a new tube of paint, well 2, I bought this color and potters pink that is a super good mixing color as well.
      So, clearly I babble when I'm excited. I'm hoping my hands will work tomorrow so I can swatch them properly.
      Thanks again :)

    I love aqua green. I feel is very similar to Daniel Smith pthalo turquoise, but the one that has two pigments in it, not PB16. However I still like Aquagreen much better. Is a basic in my palette. I use it alone for hummingbirds or backgrounds. Or mix it with permanent rose for moody blues or vibrant purples. I use it instead of phtalo green. I like phtalo green just fine, but aquagreen is special ❤

    Wasn’t sure if this would live up to my expectations, but so far I have been really amazed by Aqua Green. It mixes so well with other colours to produce great greens, violets, darks and a whole lot more. The granulation is a real bonus as well, even if it’s not that pronounced. I’m planning to modify my palette to incorporate this, so thanks for the video…I wouldn’t have tried this colour otherwise. 😊😊😊

    Thank you for showcasing this color, I have had my eye on it for quite a long time actually 😊 I am interested in trying it, since I use a lot of pthalo blue and green (also mixes of these two), for layering and staining techniques. I think I tend to like greener turquoises more lately too! The granulation makes it even more interesting, I agree that the option of granulating pthalo paints would add a lot of diversity to many palettes.

    I have not tried Aqua Green, but I would love, love, love to try it. I, like you, see it as a turquoise, not a green. It is one ore two steps removed from PG7, phthalo greens. I consider PG7 to be the very first “proper” green in pigments; any bluer and it becomes a turquoise.

    This is the first Phthalo I really like! For cool greens, I generally prefer Viridian (which I love) or Cobalts. But this is lovely without the acid-neon element that some Phthalos have that I dislike. Great value range and texture!

  • @debbrantstevens8826
    @debbrantstevens8826 9 місяців тому

    Phthalo is the correct spelling of the word pronounced 'they low' . I use oyhrr winsor and newton colours too. Cobalt green (PG50), Aqua (phthalo) and Cobllt Turquoise Light (PG50) form a lovely sequence of green to blue through the turquoise / teal ranges. Great for seascapes close to the shore and the sea around white sand beaches. I have used Aqua almost as a primary blue to get a wide range of colours with Opera Rose and Transparent yellow. Varying the intensity of colour dilution and using its transparency means its easy to get some lovely darks, interesting shadow washes and pine tree needles. Aqua is perfect for Norwegian spruce trees and cold light on Scots pine trees. It's my go to colour for Christmas pine needles up close contrasting robins and making the darks on closed pine cones and as they open.

  • @awatercolourist

    I and others have seen that statement on artiscreation and it does make me wonder. Note that the flocculation is prevented at the manufacturing stage, not the paint making stage, or so I understand. You have to remember that in all probability, only watercolour artists want granulation. Most pigment users don’t value granulation.

    • @keepyourshoesathedoor
      @keepyourshoesathedoor Рік тому +1

      It is. Naturally most phthalo and quinacridones flocculate and have more than one color, but since that’s not what a lot of people want, they add things for them to be one stable color. Jackson’s art pigments are like that, they flocculate in the strangest way.

    • @keepyourshoesathedoor
      @keepyourshoesathedoor Рік тому +1

      I added glycerin in mine to control the flocculation, but it’s also a really interesting thing and I kinda like it.

    Thank you for this, Vee. You are right, not many artists on UA-cam use w&n aqua green. The only artist I know of who uses it in some of the botanical art is Anna Bucciarelli, a Canadian artist whose art can be found on Canada's coins. I am tempted to try it after your comparison. Granulation pthalos would definitely be amazing to use.

    I'm very suspicious of the artistcreation website assertion that phthalos granulate naturally. They are extremely small particles... and the way I understand it, the small particles spread better and thus do not show up as granulating to our eyes. The whole thing about granulating paints is they are the ones with the big particles??
