This mix is spot-on, and just as lovely as the YinMin blue. Extra molecules are for rich people... I will stick with your ClarkHue blue, lol. Thank you so much for showing us how you did it! :) Edit: What a surprise to see myself mentioned, tee hee. I will have to be careful what I ask for! 😂
@HeatherBryant22 Still on my first cup of coffee, so not exactly genius, lol. It would be fun to see what other names people come up with for her mixes. 😂
Today I stopped at Hobby Lobby, cause they have W&N in clearance, to pick up tubes of French Ultramarine, Ultramarine Blue, Ultramarine Violet and 1 or 7 others. I have mainly pans and do not buy convivence mixes so I keep some tubes in case I want a convivence mix. I agree it is close to other single pigments that I already own but the tubes were a dollar. I will try it out. Then when I get home some kind soul has gifted me a month membership of this great chanel that I only just discovered.
That gift came from Rob. If you use Discord, I hope you will join us over there, you month membership has discord access with it. Also I laughed when you said "...and 1 or 7 others."
Seeing an ultramarine pink color is weird, too use to using ultramarine blue only. This Qor color is so close to ultramarine that I would not even try to match this one you are working on. You really nailed the comparison! Thanks for all,that you do.
That mix is amazing...my daughter is trying to get me to buy Windsot & Newton but because I like the way QOR reacts to water it will be QOR for my first professional paint pallet
Those are two polar opposites in my opinion. To me W&N barely move and QoR are the fastest movers I have ever painted with. I love QoR the colors are amazing! W&N can have its place too. Either would be a great professional brand to have.
From conversations I've had with a few people those who have been technically trained seem to prefer W&N professional until they experiment with other brands & find their niche
There are definitely a bunch of beautiful color in W&N, but if you already love Qor, they might bore you a little if you use only one brand. However, Qor will definitely push other paints around, so mixing brands works well…I really love Qor, btw.
After watching your last video i caved in & bought my first qor paints in the alli portrait set, ive only bought schmincke & Daniel Smith & a few rembrants, kuretake & some handmade juliak paints. I'm keen to test these new ones out.
I hope you will love them! The colors are so vivid, they move wonderfully in wet washes and mine seem to last, it feels like I don’t need as much to get the saturation I desire. Can’t wait to hear what you think, enjoy the new colors!!
I've just bought that set as I love portrait work, and I'm so excited to try these hues for all the skin and hair tomes. I love the idea of a limited palette. I also bought Qor's high chroma set a few years back, they are really vibrant. But haven't used them much as I'm not sure about mixing them with other brands.
@@suzisandpiper QoR says you can mix them with other brands. You will have no issues using their watercolors with any other watercolor brand. Happy Painting!
OOOOOHHHH! YES! I have W&N Smalt and totally didn't even think about that, prob because it is also so close to Ultramarine that I forget to use it (I have plenty of pans of dried PB29 to get through before I pour the Smalt!) It would be cool to see the comparison though! The Smalt seems even warmer than Ultramarine, from what I remember from swatching it for my swatch book when first purchased. Could be a good contender!
Love your mixing videos! I have over 150 M.Graham and Daniel Smith Full tubes abd fill my own pans. I can't find a label maker to labrl my half pans and whole pans. PLEAAASE, can you share which one you use? The Sharpie I use keeps rubbing off, and my printing of pigment names/numbers are SO sloppy. Please help?
Thanks for this, knowing how close b29v15 is saves me spending a huge amount on yinmn. Would ultramarine deep make your mix any closer? Maimeri b29 deep for example, which is also highly granulating (like the yinmn).
I only have the Maimeri Blu Ultramarine Blue which weirdly is PV15 they also have an Ultramarine Blue Light and Dark which are PB29 and then they have an Ultramarine Violet which is another PV15. Which ones would be the right combo if that is the brand you are mixing with, I can’t say. Hopefully in the future I will get my hands on at least a half pan to try them out and compare.
Ok, I now know how to mixed this extremely expensive color…where would I use it? Do you have any real life examples? Don’t know if you can add a link or if you have a blog…I’ve always liked Ultramarine Violet as well as French Ultramarine. I've stayed away from PB 15 as I just didn’t quite know how to use it. Thank you for this color mixing suggestion…I really could see how it is mixed😊.
I am in the process of updating a website that would have more information to supplement videos but at this time no, more info is not on a blog. I just got the color so I have not painted with it, however I would use it like I would use Ultramarine and for the ultramarine violet I thing it works great in landscapes. Think fields of distant purple flowers, ad ultramarine violet and instant distant landscape texture. That's just one example of how I would use the color. Adding it to a neutral tint I create myself and it would help create texture for rocks in a landscape. I hope that helps get the creative ideas flowing of how they could be used. I will reach for ultramarine colors and payne's gray or neutral tints for stormy skies also.
I agree with it still looking slightly more violet. I think even less ultramarine violet was the way to go. I did try indanthrone blue PB60 after and it was not a match.
@@suzisandpiper In addition to Ultramarine, I tried Indanthrone PB60 and Prussian PB27 neither of those were close. This is definitely one that is in the Ultramarine range.
@ClarkFineArt I do have YinMin from A Gallo but haven't opened it yet. (The Precious! Lol ) On the monitor, when I've seen it swatched, there appears to me a slight indigo hint in it. I definitely agree it's like a deeper redder ultramarine overall. I'm going to try PB15:1, just a tiny touch, or maybe a bit of neutral tint to deepen the overall mix. Or possibly Black11 as it would accentuate the granulation. I 'll let you know how I get on. Xx
I would use it like I would use Ultramarine, but it you think you don't need it, you probably don't, they are very similar and honestly it is something I would recommend for pigment collectors more than the everyday artist that has a palette they enjoy and just wants to paint. Hope that helps.
I have said pigment PB89 and I found it to be very similar to PB29 with a subtle difference. I think it's splitting hairs and unless you are a pigment nerd, is anyone really going to recognize this pigment on a painting? I would seriously doubt it.
I would agree it is very similar to Ultramarine Blue. It doesn’t take much Ultramarine Violet at all to shift the Ultramarine Blue to look like the PB89 YinMin blue. The average person may not know the difference but an artist looking at the two side by side would pick up on the difference in the hues, but just observing a painting would someone be able to look and recognize which one had YinMin blue I don’t know, possibly not.
Not surprised that you keep it in a secure box/mini treasure chest )))
Oh ya, it’s treasure for sure. lol artist gold!

I love the new name for the hue!😊
@HeatherBryant22 Still on my first cup of coffee, so not exactly genius, lol. It would be fun to see what other names people come up with for her mixes. 😂
Love the name! 😂 Hope you don’t mind me putting you in the spotlight.
@ClarkFineArt Of course I don't mind, silly. Quote me at your own risk, lol. 😂
I think yinmn is more for the pigment geeks than for the hues necessity in painting.
Perhaps, but it is a lovely warm blue.

In my humble opinion,….You NAILED it😊.
Thanks it was nice to find a mix so I won’t be needing to buy this one again! Yikes 😳 it puts a dent in the art budget!

If you like skin tones and can get the Kuretake Mei set, you will be amazed ! Kaiteki Art uses that one for skin tones and it is stunning!
Awesome
Thanks
Thanks for the video. I'd be interested in seeing the YinMn blue side by side with Winsor and Newton's Smalt (pv15).
OOOOOHHHH! YES! I have W&N Smalt and totally didn't even think about that, prob because it is also so close to Ultramarine that I forget to use it (I have plenty of pans of dried PB29 to get through before I pour the Smalt!)

You got it SOOO right! You are talented, to say the least!
Can you mix other expensive pigments if you buy them on sale at some time? Like Vivianite?
Thank You. That could certainly be a possibility. Definitely if someone were able to send me a small dot sample of it.

@@suzisandpiper do share! I love mixing and seeing how we can take different roads to the same destination.
Do you have Schmincke’s French Ultramarine PB29 or their Cobalt Blue Deep PB74? I think they are very close to Qor’s YInMn Blue.
I only have a couple of Schmincke’s single pigments, I will have to look and see if I have those. If not, I will take a look for sure!
Schmincke also have an ultramarine violet which is a mix of b29 and v15.
@@davejohnson5365 Good point, thanks.
Love Qor and your swatching/mixing. So close. Thank you. How would you use this color. I kinda think I don’t need it.
It is a win
