Thank you! This was fun! I think your first swatch was SO close! I tried my mixes with Indanthrone, but never got near as close as you did, especially since it's non-granulating. I do agree to get the actual color though. Sometimes it just works out better that way in the long run. Mixing must be your superpower! Do you own any of Schminke's Random Grey? It might be a huge ask, but if you have it to match against, could you try that one? I'm obsessed with getting some, but of course it's nowhere to be found now. I'd try to mix it, but have none to match it against. I've seen a few videos where people take a crap ton of paint colors to try and mix it, but I seriously doubt that's how Schmincke really did it. I could be wrong, though. That happens often. 🤣 Thanks for these Monday Mixes, they rock!
I found the PB29 too warm to start and went for a blue that would neutralize that a bit and add more to the granulation. You didn't find that adding the PV19 made it too warm or purple leaning?
Thanks so much for these hue mixing videos. This color is one that I've really been pining for, but I'm trying not to buy any more paint, as I already have way too many. Glad to know I have the ingredients... I just need to make it. :)
I got the a Sodalight Gen-Like, from both Windsor Newton Paynes Grey and Fr. Ultra Ma. Blue. I used it for the shaded under growth of a Lotus specie that has huge leaves on top of each other. I feel it was a nice color but a bit opaque due to the Gaynes Gray. I suspect the Mars Black would also result in opacity but I'll try your suggestion, maybe it's better, thank you.
Hi there! thank you for the video. I bought a sodalite genuine about a year ago and mistakenly put a magnet near it. it collected the dark undertone and kept only the base blue (which upseted me a bit)but from this behavior I came to a conclusion that such color can be simulated with pbk11 - granulating black and pb60 Indanthrone blue.
Very cool mix. I haven't started a Primatek collection as of yet because I'm working on primary/mixing/connivence colors. Which brings me to my question about PB83 and if it can be used safely in mixes without disappearing/fading. I seem to have collected a few more tubes than the permanent alternatives and was hoping for find a more economical use other than a vanishing monochromatic disappearing crimson cash study. Any suggestions/substitution ideas would be welcomed. Quinacridone Rose/Red or Scarlet are what I've been using so far.
I am assuming you meant PR83 Alizarin Crimson since you also talked about Quin Red/Rose or Scarlet, It will fade even in mixes and will affect the overall mix it is in. Imagine a purple, returning to blue over time because the Alizarin Crimson PR83 has faded away. Other than for work in books where it will be protected from the light or for work that you will scan and use to make prints from keeping the originals protected from the light, I am not sure what else you can do, other than use it and enjoy the color while you have it. As for sellable work, I would not use PR83 on an original I was going to sell. For your own enjoyment because you loved the color, I say go for it in mixes or on its own, but yes it can fade from even a mix over time. Sorry that's probably not the answer you were hoping for. If you check the handprint website and look under PR83 www.handprint.com/HP/WCL/waterfs.html For a one to one substitution for PR83, PR176, PR264, PR 177(a chemical cousin of alizarin) and some of the dark reddish varieties of PV19 are listed as possible alternatives to try. You may find the section an interesting read, as it goes on to suggest PR179 perylene maroon as a substitute for some mixes you would have otherwise used PR83 for. In addition PR122 quin magenta and PV19 quin rose as substitutions for mixes as well. I believe I have all of those recommended pigments from different brands in my overall collection of watercolors and each have their own wonderful qualities. Hope that might have been some help.
Absolutely the "blue" intensity varies in my experience-- not just from tube to stick, but from tube to tube. This has been quite frustrating as it is an expensive paint 😕
I have certainly noticed it from my tube to stick. I will be curious if I get another tube if it differs. I can say if it did, I might be inclined to use this mix instead of getting it again, the more I mix it the easier it will be to have a consistent color to paint with.
Or you could make a half pan of your own mix. Add each color to the pan, stir, test the color and adjust with adding more as needed. Make it the exact shade of Sodalite that you prefer.
@@ClarkFineArtHonestly, I might do this too with your mix, after experimenting with mixing it. I only have a half pan of Sodalite Genuine that came in a DS Blues palette set. I have all of the colors in your mix from a few different professional brands, but I don't have a tube of Sodalite Genuine. It's so expensive.
Has anyone else noticed that when you put a stick in a pan, it gets used up more quickly than a tube or poured pan would? It's almost like it's been whipped up with air.??? I'll notice a dent in the pan even after 1 sitting. Yet, regular pans & tubes seem to last forever.
@@mwGoosman I have 5 sticks that seem to have the same issue. I originally thought they were cheaper because they didn't have to include tubes or pans in their manufacturing... just paper. But, my thoughts are changing more to being whipped. Honestly, it didn't occur to me until today. I could be very wrong tho.
The colors I have in stick form, I am not noticing them being used up faster. Certainly not when I leave them as sticks and just activate what I need from swirling the end in a little water on my palette. I have a few sticks in half pans and they don't seem to be disappearing any faster than my others. Maybe certain colors can? I am not sure I haven't experienced it.
@@ClarkFineArt Maybe it is just certain colors. I will pay more attention before buying any more sticks tho. Btw, I found you today & enjoyed your video. Thanks for the content.
❤ Love this mix! And the stormy weather in the background
Thank you.
Sodalite is such a beautiful color, it’s a hole in my palette that I’ve been wanting to fill! Thanks for this vid!
It really is! It would be a wonderful addition to your palette.
I love sodalite genuine. I prefer to buy 15 ml. Tubes. The price is usually not much higher, and I think it’s worth it in the long run.
I was liking what I saw from my tube more than the stick in this particular color.
I've been WAITING for this one! I saw someone say this was their go-to for a hued graphite. Excited to try it!❤
I hope you enjoy experimenting with this mix for yourself.
Wow, very fun! ❤ The comments picking up is a good thing. Im glad your channel is doing well. ❤
Thanks. I agree it is definitely a good thing.

I do not have that color. If a fellow viewer does and would like to send on a dot card for the challenge, I would certainly give it a go!
@@ClarkFineArt Awesome!
Ive tried to make replicate this with pb29 pbk11 and a touch of pv19 it was pretty close!
I found the PB29 too warm to start and went for a blue that would neutralize that a bit and add more to the granulation. You didn't find that adding the PV19 made it too warm or purple leaning?
I would love to see an alizarin crimson Hue that actually graduates a little bit
You made me stop to think on that one. Don't usually see a granulating red in that hue... I will have to think on that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m glad you enjoy them. Being able to mix them can save us money if we already have what we need for the mix.
@@ClarkFineArt Indeed!
I am looking for a Minnesota Pipestone!
I will have to look that one up.
Dit you try P B60( indanthrene Blue) and PBk11?
PB60 was too warm

amazing! Thanks so much 😊

@@lczz-dj2nf it’s a beautiful color! I have not tried it with a magnet, but I have used one with Hematite and that can give some interesting results.
How funny, I put the lunar black stick in my wish list just yesterday. I'm going to make so many moody colors
Yes! I love lunar black! Mix them with some Quin colors too they separate like magic!

Ah, that's interesting. I have a few tubes of Daniel Smith, but I haven't tried the sticks... that's good to know.
The sticks are also cheaper…especially with the Pimateck colors…perhaps we could do a weight comparison in grams…interesting idea, thanks!
