I have a funny problem with indigo: I’ve always thought indigo was supposed to be more purple than blue so every time I see indigo paint my brain goes “ no that’s Imposter-go not Indigo” even though I know good and well I’m the one that’s wrong 😂 quite literally I call blue based indigo Impostergo

Cascade green is one of my favorite watercolor paints. I kept convincing myself I didn’t need it because it wasn’t a practical green to keep on my palette. When I finally got it I found that it was one of those colors that inspired me to paint more. It’s so interesting and incredibly beautiful.

My absolute favorite color is more a pigment I can't live without: PR122. It's an extremely vibrant pink that does the most crazy violets. I have it in all the media I use and I can't live without that one. Close second would be ultramarine blue PB29. Oh. And my favorite yellow is transparent yellow by Schmincke (PY150) as it goes from moody yellow to bright lemon yellow. Super versatile. It's the first yellow I ever liked. And lastly for granulation in watercolors, manganviolett PV16 from Schmincke does wonders in mixes. My current favorite would be with petal green for the most gorgeous dark granulating turquoise. I think you'd like that particular mixture.

My own all time favourite is impossible to say, it changes all the time. Right now I'm in love with tundra violet, because it behaves in so many ways depending on the amount of water added. Glad you found out that cascade green needs more water. I have been thinking sometimes watching you swatch, that you swatch too dark and the colours can't show their best sides.

I really can't decide between Misty Morning and Dusk Green. They're both gorgeous in different ways, and both are from brands I haven't tried before; though I really want to, now! My favourite colour to use changes so much, though there are a few colours (Prussian Blue, Green Gold and Potter's Pink) that I regularly come back to, and like to "audition" in different formulations to compare brands. That said, I'm very into Winsor and Newton New Gamboge at the moment - not a colour I've used much before, but I'm grabbing it a lot lately. These are by no means exciting, but as I tend to use at least some Winsor and Newton Neutral Tint, any brand's Red Oxide and any Burnt Umber in everything, they are my most-used paints.

An absolute favourite, is Serpentine Green, a Primatek by Daniel Smith. It is warm, glowy, olive, yellow muted green and separates slightly with burnt orange flecks. On your sheet, Natasha, I love Misty Morning. Just a hint with Jane's grey; When working with Jane on a course in the Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney, we made a very light wash of Janes grey over one side of a stone building for the shadow, just a glaze over the building in Goethite. Goethite and buff titanium are great mixed to make sandstone rock buildings, and then the blue grey glaze made it really sing. It is liftable, as are the other three pigments. Misty Morning is also very nice washed with a real lot of water, for a sky that is overcast, about to rain.

Of the ones you swatched - maybe cascade green. I have it and did not realize it was so granulating so look forward to using it more.. Oh, and while I don't have a lot of the Schmincke super granulating colors, of the set I have, I absolutely love Glacier green. A watercolor that paints itself.

Hello Natasha! I see that you're doing one of your favourite things--swatching! You keep us enthralled and hanging on every word! I always stay right to the end of your enjoyable videos, and I guess the single watercolour colour I could not live without is Violet Brown. I saw you swatch it last year and ever since then I can't get enough! I'm a red, orange, purple kind of girl and that makes up my palette. I love it when the sun is a burnt orange and red sky in the summer nights here where I live. I just can't get enough of those colours! Unfortunately I can no longer see firsthand the beauty of nature because I'm bedbound but I transitioned to it very well as getting out was never my favourite thing to do. So now I spend my time watching KZitem videos and studying art history on my own. I have a passion for art and poetry, as I write some myself. Well, I guess that's all for now. Be well and take care until next time we have a nice relaxing chat and swatch!

I love the pebble swatches,they really show the properties of the colours so well. I love the Betty Hayway brushes too,they are a staple for me too now. I love that you got the surpise of these colours becoming a possible new palette as well. My favourite colour of all time is Naples yellow, it's wonderful mixing colour and has a warmth of tone to it, but it can also cool down other colours and produces great mxes with greens. From these ten I have to say the Cascade green is a stunning colour,can so see why you love it now, The painting of the tree you painted shows this colour so beautifully. You really do have such a gift for choosing colours and creating palettes with them.As you talk about how you use these colours we can picture them in your work.

Dusk Green is the exact shade I’d love to dye my hair next. 😍 One of my favorite watercolours would be W&N Quinacridone Magenta, mainly because I use it a lot and find it extremely versatile with both cool and warm colours. But my favorite magical colour is Daniel Smith’s Rose of Ultramarine, it’s so beautifully whimsical. Thanks for sharing these videos Natasha, I always find them soothing 💜

Out of these the mayan dark blue would be in my personal top 25. Could not go without it but my top 25 would be dark blue heavy anyways with sodalithe gen., indigo from Daniel smith and paynes blue grey from Schmincke as well. 😅

I love how both these spreads make a perfect palette for a landscape. It’s very you. I’m impressed, you’ve made me… not hate… grey. (My favorite colors are pink and orange, come on!)

Aww, Natasha, so glad to see you swatching your runners up. You've really made those 10 colors shine. I'm sure they are no longer be sad that they didn't make the cut in the first place. ;o) My favourite colors from your runners up selection definitely is Misty Morning. I absolutely love the touch of blush shining through the ash blue base. To specify one most favorite watercolor of mine is hard though. I love color so much that I could never favour one over the other. They all serve a purpose, don't they? That being said, I recently bought Schmincke's new Vulcano Red and am totally blown away by the way it granulates, absolutely exceptional for a warm red color. Also, I love "Nelkenfarbe" (sorry, I don't know it's English name) by Kremer. It's made from the same pigment as Potter's Pink (PR 233) but it's non-granulating. A slightly powdery, muted Victorian pink, I'd say. I'm sure you would like it as well.

Ha ha, let's hope they're happy! ;) Misty Morning is very special, isn't it? I'm really impressed with the Roman Szmal colours in general! I keep hearing good things about Volcano Red (several subscribers have mentioned how much they like it recently) and the Kremer colour you've mentioned sounds beautiful! Just the type of pink I love.

I stayed till the end, but I can't answer to the favourite watercolour question as I haven't intensively used them for a long time to pick absolute favourite, but I like shire yellow from these runner ups the best. :) I like all of these colours! (especially first row!) I think they are making lovely colour palette. You should try to do limited colour palette artwork using these runner ups. :) All the best to you Natasha!

Love your Chanel, my all time favourite is Moonglow by Daniel Smith. I was very surprised by the dusk green by royal Talens from the colours you swatched in this video. Thank you for inspiring so many of us.

Ooh, I’m very glad to find you. I haven’t found a new watercolourist in a while and I love seeing which paints other artists love. My favourite of this 10 is misty morning and my overall favourite, oof, shadow violet by Roman Szmal but also manganese blue by Josie Lewis, which I think is very similar to Daniel Smith’s. On full pans taking up more space in your palette - two palettes? I love Jackson’s cheaper metal tins and it turns out two fit perfectly side by side on the wooden lap tray we found in the garage (back problem makes the sofa more comfy). Anyway, I’m intrigued to see all of those and go watch the 25 top paints video too. On first glance at that page, I had to wonder how you get a full of light, bright colours from them, but I see you paint a lot of darker scenes. It’s handy to find someone English with favourites by brands I’d buy. I haven’t tried Daniel Smith yet due to the price and I’m not a pro, at least yet, but a lot of the others are more accessible.
