Zinc whites are for mixing - to reduce loss of pigment-- reduce chalking/whitening. Titanium is best for adding strong white highlights- in this case zincs are not strong. I always carry both. I prefer M Graham over all others

I don't know about gouache, but the zinc white in acrylics is a transparent white, perfect for fog, mist, glass, glazes, and stuff like that. 😊

Totally agree about the Windsor and Newton white ..it's the one I have and it's very dull so does not look good at all on my paper or cardstock ..Thankyou for this trial as I now know what to buy 😊

Howdy Sergio, I wonder how your top three would work with the most transparent lightest yellow, the most granulating ultramarine, and the least granulating ultramarine, with a transparent red, and on three kinds of paper, black, white and offwhite paper.... Thanks so much for the video. I use gouache in my watercolour blues for sky colour backgrounds, which I prefer solid looking, and least granulating. Adding white stops granulation! I lean a little on the red side to warm blues up, and I use more orangy colours next to them to not get green. Surprising results!

Love all of your top 3. MG used to be my #1 go too, but since we moved to Europe Schmincke took the 1st place. Will definitely stock up on MG paints - all watercolor, gouache and oils next time I'm visiting US :D

This is awesome 🥰 I know these aren't mixing whites but I am looking for a white that doesn't dull/neutralize other colors while mixing. Having an awful time with both of Artezas whites despite enjoying how their colors mix with each other well enough. Definitely want my nearly white tints with a bit more oomf and vibrancy! Would love to see how all these mix with a couple diff colors at different ratios. :))

Yes, zinc white is also known as "mixing white" while titanium white is for bright highlights and anything you want very opaque.

Schminke uses ox gall. That’s why there is a sheen. Windsor newton blending medium is ox gall and alcohol which is what Lena Rivo recommends for extending drying time…she’s a mostly Plein air painter and comes from oil.

Im looking for white gouache for painting authentic Chinoisserie style panels like modern versions done today by Alison McDormont , de Gournay & Gracie & emile Chen wall papers . White is needed for the bamboo & flowers edges …. And the backgrounds are usually coloured so the white has to cover the background. The bamboo area is too large to use masking . Am Ny tips are appreciated thank you 🙏 😊.

@@SergioLopezFineArt Mixing white is not supposed to be opaque. It's used for lightening other colours without making them dull, and is good for misty glazes. It's often made with zinc white or a mixture of zinc and titanium white.
