Delightful to watch. Music, explanation and background information, all excellent. Thank you.
That's heartwarming to hear, thank you! I am glad you found the video delightful!
those side by side swatches are so useful when you don't want to buy all the colors but want to "see" wich one is the exact hue you're looking for . on top of that the final result and the video on itself is a piece of art.
(no shadding on collecting people , I am myself a collector of other items like colored pencils and minerals )
thank you for sharing .
Thank you for your kind words! I absolutely empathize with that predicament, especially when the list of options seems infinite or colossal. My watercolor pigment discovery videos are designed for a different purpose but hopefully they are also useful for those who are exploring, are still designing their palettes, and have yet to make a purchasing decision.
Your Swatch cards are so beautiful.....and you speak so softly.....thanks for another great video.
Thank you for your kind words! Glad seeing you here.
Thank you for this beautiful video. Lovely and peaceful to watch and extremely helpful when deciding what Cerulean Blue to add to my palette. 😍
Fantastic! I am delighted to hear that this video has been instrumental for your info-gathering. Which Cerulean Blue appealed to you or what Cerulean Blue did you decide to get, if you don't mind me asking? Thank you for being here! 🙏🏻😍
@stiviwonders I was able to pick up some Roman Szmal paints and thanks to your video selected the beautiful Cobalt Coelin blue for my palette. Thank you! 😁🪻💐
absolutely wonderful to watch...love the music...perfect
That warms my heart! I am glad you enjoyed watching. Thank you for being here!
Pb35 and Pb36 are two of my favorite pigments, so much so, it's hard to choose among them. Love them for dramatic skies and seascapes. Thanks for another great video!
I can definitely see what would cause this conundrum but whichever one chooses, the output will still be beautiful. Great seeing you again here!
Fantastic video, I had to hit the 👍 button for sure. I appreciate the effort you put into making. Loved the music as well. Thank you especially for the comparison charts, very helpful. For me the gold standard for Cerulean Blue will always be the Winsor & Newton version. It was my first CB and I keep coming back to it. Cheers! :)
I appreciate your kindness and support, thank you! Great to hear that you've found your preferred Cerulean Blue. For my skies and waterfront scenes, my choice of pigment would be anything in the direction of Genuine Ultramarine. However, lately, I've been warming up to some Cerulean Blues that I can possibly "love" moving forward. Haha! I have been trying so hard to develop feelings for this pigment.
Thank you for a beautiful video about an equally beautiful colour.
I appreciate you! Thank you for the kind remark and for being here!
Now I'm tempted to pick up one of these PB35 or PB36 colors, they are so close to the autumn sky here in TN.
Wonderful! I am glad the video could offer some inspiration. This is not one of my favorite colors but lately, I've been loving some of the ones featured here.
I love the color of cerulean blue and the granulation but I hardly ever reach for it because I need my pigments to have a large value range. Those mixes though were enlightening! I found the ones with PO49 especially enchanting.
I love this, thank you! Please allow me to share. For a long time, Cerulean Blue never caught my fancy. I didn't dislike it. It is just I gravitate more towards Ultramarine and other moody blue pigments. However, recently, I have been warming up to some of the items featured here. I love the many possibilities that I can make with PO49 and Cerulean Blue, from timeless appeal to modern visuals. I also enjoy the richness of varying violets and golden browns that I can produce. Thank you again for sharing and for being here!
@@stiviwonders Moody blues and greys are borderline essential in my life.
Love the video; there are so many gorgeous cerulean blues! Definitely a must for my palette, usually PB35 but i love PB36, as well ;)
I am delighted to hear that! Cerulean Blue never caught my fancy but now, I am warming up to it. Thank you for being here! I think I know what your next Cerulean Blue will be. ;-)
@@stiviwonders yes!!!
Wow, I actually never realized cerulean was a cobalt compound. Both cobalt blue & cerulean are beautiful in their own right, but it’s fascinating to realize how closely related their chromophores are (sharing the influence of a cobalt atom & oxygen atoms, but differing in structure & the aluminum vs tin components), & the effect that that has on their overall hue, brightness & opacity.
Yes! It comes as a surprise to many because the nomenclature is a departure from the convention that other Cobalt-based pigments took on. You worded it well -- beautiful in their own right.
Lovely video production and superbly presented information.
My Cerulean Blue is Daniel Smith and I use it in most paintings. It's my most frequently used Blue, together with Ultramarine Blue and Colbalt Blue. I've tried the Cerulean Blue Chromium, but tend to prefer the standard one.
Lately, I've been trying the Rembrandt version of the same three blues.
Thank you for your kind message! I am glad you enjoyed the video. This is a pigment that I have been struggling to develop an affinity for but lately I have been warming up to it. Genuine Fra Angelico Blue, Cobalt Blue, Indanthrone Blue, and Genuine Indigo are still my preferred blue pigments. Thank you for being here and for taking the time to share your favorite blues.
@@stiviwonders Cerulean Blue works best for me when mixed with a little bit of another blue, such as Ultramarine Blue or French Ultramarine Blue. Or, for a more summer sky type of light blue I use more water with Cerulean Blue and maybe put in a touch of Lavender too - although this will give it more opacity. The Cerulean Blue of Daniel Smith is semi-transparent and granulating too. It's low staining property allows me to lift out clouds very easily.
@markdonovan1540 Yes, I believe Cerulean's magic comes out when it is mixed with another blue pigment. It's an effective value enhancer! I have heard from other watercolorists too about Lavender as a companion pigment for PB35. For my skies, which I will demonstrate down the road, I rarely lift out clouds except on paintings that call for crisp, luminous edges. My preferred sky pigment is Fra Angelico Blue or any good Genuine Lapis Lazuli watercolor. When I am not in the mood to indulge then I use PB29 with a hint of Cobalt Blue. It all depends on how expressive or dramatic I envision the final output to be, although sometimes watercolor will assert its own tendencies, as you and I probably know by now.
Not one of my favorite shades of blue but the swatches on the cold press reminds me of misty morning mountain tops 👍. Thank you 🙏 for another extensive and delightful watercolor party 🎉
So thrilled having you here, as always! This is not one of my favorite blues either. However, lately, I've been warming up to some of the ones featured here. Perhaps I've found a few that I can love.
@@stiviwonders I do gravitate to the lighter shades. More like sky blue 👍
@@dianaromig732 I love Genuine Ultramarine, PB60, PB33, and PB80. 🥰
Me too, cerulean is my least favorite paint/pigment of all lol but I watched the whole video because I’m obsessed with these swatch compares 🙌✨🥰 such great content.
@@flyinghaggertys9362 Thank you! Cerulean Blue is undoubtedly beautiful but I probably just gravitate towards moody blues more.
Yesss I love this color! Not surprisingly my favorite shade is from winsor and newton 🥰 I started painting with watercolor with their cotman series and I was in love with their cerulean blue, it was one if the first colors I ran out of- unfortunately they changed the pigment so I had to look for another option 😅. But I adore micheal harding version as well! It looks more muted and darker but it still looks fun to use. Thank you for swatching
Fantastic! In my case, I gravitate towards the moody blue pigments so Cerulean never appealed to me. However, I have been warming up to some of the ones featured here because they're so clean and sophisticated. I agree with you when it comes to Michael Harding's Cerulean Blue. It has the delicate appeal but it also has this intensity to it that is so elegant without being overpowering. I have been using that and the one from Della Magna Watercolors. So stunning!
Love this huge comparison!! Thank you again!
Grateful for that kind feedback! 💖🙏
Hmm, I don't think you have enough Cerulean Blue variants in your stash, Stivi. 😁It was a true pleasure to watch. Love them all and loved all the mixes too. Particularly intrigued by the Phthalo-based Schmincke and the powdery blue Wallace Seymour English paint you saved for last. Thanks for making this video.
Hahaha, yes, this collection is inadequate. 😂
Thank you for being here! Which one is your favorite?
Beautiful mixes!!!
Thank you!
this is such a good video, i loved this ❤❤❤
Thank you, Chantelle! I appreciate you! 🙏🏻❤️
I love cerulean blues have both from qor and M. Graham. Love them next to the Cobalts. ❤
Excellent! I love Cobalts too. So lovely to paint with!
I have Sennelier, W&N Pro, Daniel Smith, Schmincke Horadam, M graham Cerulean blue and I love M Graham the most.
Wonderful! I am glad you found one that appeals to you and one that works for your needs.
That Schmincke Horadam helio Cerulean PB 15:3, had a remarkable colour shift! When applied more thickly, it appears as a different colour.
That's true. It's consistent with what one can expect from Phthalocyanine-based watercolors.
I see. I didn't know that. 💐@@stiviwonders
This video is so beautifully crafted, Stivi!!! I agree with the other viewer who said it's a work of art in itself!!! 💙 I so appreciate everything you put into the making of these. And I especially appreciate that you swatch on both hot and cold press paper!!! Like you, I gravitate naturally to the deeper, more moody blues, but I still adore the different shades of blue skies, and the mixes you made are so lovely!!! Thank you much for sharing your vast knowledge of pigments 💙✨
I have a question about why some pigments are described as semi - transparent and others as semi - opaque; wouldn't that be the same thing??? Like saying a glass is half full or half empty??? There must be a reason! 😅
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video. It's been a long journey but Cerulean Blue never really caught my attention. Perhaps because I gravitate towards "moody" blue pigments. Lately, I have been warming up to some of them and found them to be sophisticated. I guess that was what was lacking in the past -- pigment elegance. We often hear that pigment appearance can be affected by the other pigments around it. For my videos, I figured that what is equally important to emphasize is the fact that the painting vessel itself, which is the paper, impacts the visual display as well. That's why I try to include the hot-pressed paper aspect for further pigment appreciation. Thank you for noticing that!
As for your question, the "half-full or half-empty glass" may not be applicable in this scenario. Transparent, Semi-Transparent, Opaque, and Semi-Opaque are properties that refer to how pigments behave on paper. It's about the amount of light that goes through (transparent and semi-transparent) and is reflected (opaque and semi-opaque) through layers. This behavior is also influenced by how we use the pigment -- light wash or concentrated. Understanding these concepts empower us with decision-making skills on how to use the pigments that we have on hand. Specifically, when to use them in diluted form or at full-strength. This is also why I am able to achieve vibrancy even with opaque watercolors.
For my videos' chapter copy, I decided to be consistent with the information on the product packaging that the manufacturers have provided as not to confuse viewers who may be encouraged to buy the paints after watching the film. That, of course, comes with my recommendation for watercolorists to always conduct their own tests because other factors such as materials, climate/weather, and water quality could yield a different result or experience. The information I offer on my channel is essentially a jump-off point for those who are venturing into the world of watercolor pigments, either for the first time or for expanding their knowledge base. On rare occasions that my findings are different from the package, I proactively post my discoveries too. :-)
As always, thank you for being here and I hope this reply answers your question! 💙
@@stiviwonders Thanks Stivi 💙
@@roxannemaguire9844 You're always welcome! 🥰🥰🥰
Woooow❤🎉
Thank you! 🎉❤️
i see the tube of wallace seymour watercolor/ so we can hope to see wallace seymour vintage watecolors` review???
I've been a Pip Seymour and Michael Harding paint user since I was younger so that is not impossible. Wallace Seymour is on the list. :-)
@@stiviwonders Ohhh this is just WONDEFUL!! Id like to order a couple of WC vintage paint, but its hard to do without swatches..and you are the only person who showed cerulean blue ENGLISH in your video ♥♥♥♥
Which brand is the least granulating of the PB35 & PB36?
That is quite tricky to respond to because it depends on application. Please allow me to respond in this manner, maybe leaning more towards sophistication. For PB35, Wallace Seymour's Cerulean Blue has the softest yet elegant granulation, both on hot-pressed and on cold-pressed. For PB36, Michael Harding, MaimeriBlu, and Della Magna are high on the list when it comes to sophisticated granulation. Meaning, the texture is there but it delicately spreads to a gorgeous finish and not overwhelmingly everywhere. I hope this reply offers a good picture, if not a direct answer to your question. Thank you!
The M Graham has very little granulation, it's very flat, but great if you want a sky without the texture. I haven't tried all of them, but also own the Winsor Newton version (wonderful tropical blue, very granulating, my favorite cerulean) and DS Cerulean Chromium, also nicely granulating.
@@everartokelli Winsor & Newton's PB35 is sweet and delicately soft.
Pthalocyanine is an awful stain and has no place in this comparison
Hello, I dislike Phthalocyanine as well. However, my personal perspective on this pigment family does not grant me license to promote negativity. Many watercolorists are passionate about Phthalos and I want to be respectful of that. There is a place for every pigment, and that's one of the hallmarks of this channel. The greater concept is to present them through these pigment discovery videos, strive to capture their beauty and allow people to make decisions based on what makes sense to them. This is a video on Cerulean Blue and Schmincke's Helio Cerulean just happened to be a Phthalo pigment, a departure from traditional Cerulean pigments. If you noticed, I never use the words "compare" and "comparison" because those terms promote unhealthy division and take away from the positive values that the rich history of watercolor painting is anchored on. Thank you for watching!
