    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.

    • @stiviwonders
      @stiviwonders  10 місяців тому +1

    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.

      @@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.

    • @stiviwonders
      @stiviwonders  8 місяців тому +1

      @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.

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! 😅

    • @stiviwonders
      @stiviwonders  10 місяців тому

      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
      @stiviwonders  10 місяців тому +2

      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!

    • @stiviwonders
      @stiviwonders  4 місяці тому

      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!
