this is a fantastic video, such a comprehensive look into it ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much. I like exploring the main color first but also seeing the mixes it can create. That is even more important in my book.
This was nice, thank you! I have Van Gogh, and really like it. I use it mostly for rocks , trees, and stone/brick. I have a swatch book, and I put this Davy's Gray on both the "greys" page and the "green " page.
Thank you for letting me know. It will probably go on my palette in some form because the mix with buff titanium was so lovely. I love the categories you have swatched with, I'm not really sure how I even thought of the color aspect of davy's grey. I just knew I liked it.
Came back to say that I too wouldn't think they're the same color... I love seeing these comparison videos. They help me spend my money on the brands that I like!
I agree. It is so nice when you can see one color explored this way. Thank you for liking this video, I appreciate it!
This is so cool! I feel everyone forgets about/doesn’t know about Davy’s Grey and it’s one of my favorite colors :) I’ve only tried the Holbein but am interested in trying the others now!
I stumbled upon the Holbein Davy's Grey last year after seeing it in a demo. Now I can't paint without it. So happy to inspire you with some other brands!
This was cool)) I`ve only tried the Van Gogh one, but some of the others are much greener. New subscriber here, hello and thank you!
Thank you for finding me and subscribing, I really appreciate it. I have a lot of playlists if there is something you really like to watch. Have fun and welcome to my channel!
Very helpful comparison! I love it
I thought so too, the colors were all so different yet named the same. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
The result you have from those four miscellaneous colors is amazing! Great video, Happy Thanksgiving!
Oops, I commented on the wrong video!
@@kellimartin4583 no problem. Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
Such an interesting range of colours- It hink the HWC was my favourite too. Thank you!
You are welcome. I could not believe the color range and wanted to share. Holbein is so pretty and I love the tones I am able to get with it.
Thank you Kelly, that was interesting and informative, I agree that the Holbein is lovely as a single paint , I have the Shinhan and was suprised how green it was when it arrived but I like the mixes, the Van Gogh has pleasing mixes too, can't get da vinci paints easily here in the UK so I might try the Holbein next because it's a cooler version. Not keen on the Winsor and Newton.
Any of these that you can pick up would make a nice addition to your palette because the color is so original and makes beautiful mixes. Glad you enjoyed the content, thank you!
Hi Kelly, I texted with Shawn over at Etsy and he gave me your pallet (from a different video of yours) so now I will slowly pick my brand along with building up my paints. Getting excited!
I am so excited for you, you are going to love having such a nice variety of colors at your fingertips Thank you!
Thank You for bringing your view down just a wee bit closer... it really does make a difference!
You are welcome and so happy I remembered, whew!
This might seem simple…but after watching another comparison video about Davy’s gray..and some have 4 different pigments…my style of painting, I start with all single pigments-and go from there. I RARELY use convenience mixes, prefer to make my own…although, I DID get some cascade green last week, mainly because my friend and I are doing some Christmas cards with it.
Anyways, I needed a greenish gray for something last month..what I wanted was closest to Winsor Newton. So..I started with DS gray titanium…added just a tiny dot of one of my PG23 Green Earth. It was almost exactly what I needed. My only issue was more granulation than I wanted-but it worked out, so 🤷🏼♀️
I tried adding PG17, which is one of the pigments in W-N, but it was just too dark mossy for what I needed. Mission Gold carry’s one that’s even closer to what I wanted-they used PB27 + PY3..black and white..but it appeared VERY smooth & the perfect green I was looking for. I might try mixing a green with the Prussian Blue and adding just a dot to the gray titanium…just for future reference! 😁
There are so many ways to mix it for sure. I just love the convenience and the comparisons give me a chance to explore. Did you happen try Cascade Green plus an orange? It will come very close to the Davy's. Thanks for sharing with me and my audience, I love seeing what other artists are creating!
holy Davinci!
I know, right? It is magical!
I love Holbein paints for it's dependability. It was the paint I started with and still love it.
Every time I have tried a W&N paint, I've been dissatisfied.
Thank you for the comparison. I find such studies interesting.
tfs.
I have a little, growing collection of Holbein paints. Can you recommend a nice muted blue and green? Nothing too bright but yet still full of great coloration for mixing. I totally agree about the W&N, I am trying hard to like them because they do have a great color range but am always left disappointed in the end. So glad you found the comparison helpful, thank you for watching!
Winsor&Newton has died. Both their brushed and paint are iverlriced and overrated.I'd easily choose Vanchoos/Rembrandt over them.
I've only tried DaVinci's Davy's Grey and have been happy with it. I do like how the Holbein swatched out, so maybe I'll give it a try someday. Too bad about the W&N because the color is great, but it was pretty clear you were struggling with the mixing.
It was a beautiful color (W&N) and when dried it also felt very chalky in texture, unlike all the other brands. Thank you for letting me know about the DaVinci brand, I will have to play with it a little bit more.
Any Van Gogh or Rembrandt color recommendations anybody? I'm building a new palette for general sketching.Problem is,I like 90% of their collors but neither can afford them all,nor the palette would be ideal with a ton of colours.Thats why I need some ideas for "must" color opinions!
I don't have any Rembrandt but have quite a few VanGogh watercolors. If you like color separating and granulating colors, I would highly recommend their Dusk line, every color is gorgeous. I love their raw sienna also. I bought quite a few last month but just haven't had time to play yet. I will keep you posted when I do.
I was looking at the ShinHan PWC dot cards, and I noticed the PWC Davy's Grey is marked as granulating. Whereas Holbein's Davy's Grey is non-granulating. Do you notice this difference when you use them?
I just double checked my sample and I don't see any granulation on the PWC. Remember though this is a tiny swatch and it wasn't given much area to expand.
@@kellyhoernig Thanks 😄 Your beautiful swatching and color mixing got me interested in Davy's grey and I am thinking of getting the Holbein one 😍
@@floral_doodle I am biased, it is my favorite and I call it my "super hero color" because of its mixing abilities. Don't think you can go wrong with Holbein Davy's Grey.
They all make a beautiful oak moss palette. I think I like Holbein best, but your swatch of W&N looks lovely too.
It is such a beautiful color, glad you saw the magic of it too!
Winsor & Newton has lower tinting strength on a lot of their earthy colors, it's helpful sometimes but usually just frustrating
I didn't realize that so thank you for sharing that with me and my audience.
@@kellyhoernig of course!
