I really enjoy your videos. For colors tend you intend to mix a lot (like your two yellows), you can put them as two separate stripes in the same well. This was actually an idea from Mijello Mission where they suggest putting two or three stripes of colors in the same well for those common mixtures. This will save you some space too 😄

I’ve found the same for the last two years. Love being creative alongside videos like this, which make me want to get out and sketching and just getting my brushes to paint and paper. But ultimately I haven’t been finding joy in painting anything, really. So it’s all on hold for me for now. It will come back, that inkling. So I’ll just wait it out and build up my list of places and ideas and I’ll gather another color or two, maybe try a couple DS colors, as I’ve never tried them. Just got a couple paintbrushes and a tiny black paper pad to use w markers and chalks. Till then, I’m watching and dreaming through amazing artists like Miss Sarah.

Hullo Sarah, I have only watched a few of your videos. I have stopped using DS paints. Not only the Primatek scandal but I had 3 horrible customer service sessions with their company that I have decided they simply care more for profits than customers. I know people can have bad days and can take it out on others, but 3 different customer service representatives across a 6 month time frame? Nope they lost me as a customer and as an Artist that recommended their paints in the past! I also can encourage you to try American Journey watercolor paints or DaVinci of California they are a full paint company and so wonderful to work with on the phone or VIA e-mails! Thank you for sharing your lovely palette and color choices, I think I have similar colors and mixers in several of my palettes. Please take care, be safe and have a lovely day 😊

Hi Sarah! Another Sara here from Canada! You should really truly try Jadeite Green. It is the most stunning natural green and it's a primatek. It has a large value range as well! I discovered it through the artist Thomas Schaller! He uses only Jadeite and Serpentine as his greens for his landscapes and urban scenes. So I bought it and its such a beautiful color! It's better than your old diopside choice deeper and much more of a larger value range!

You might want to consider trying their lavender gouache. Same pigments and binder but higher pigment load than the watercolour version. I found I was using up the watercolour one too quickly so switched to gouache to use very diluted or smaller ammounts in mixing for watercolour paintings and thicker for gouache paintings- dual purpose

If you love turquoise, you should try Daniel Smith's Ultramarine Turquoise. I ended up keeping it on a palette instead of the Phthalo Turquoise because it has some granulation and far less drying shift. The only downside is that it doesn't get as dark in mass tone, but I actually like that because it means it doesn't overwhelm mixes as easily. 😄 Your praise of Amethyst has made me want to give it another try! And somehow I wasn't aware DS added a Quin Magenta in addition to the Quin Lilac. I'll be interested to see how you end up comparing them after using both for awhile.

Hi all! I’m curious what’s wrong with nickel?🙂It is a commonly found metal that is used in almost everything from jewelry, kitchenware, and medical equipment. In some cases it can cause an allergic reaction, but this doesn’t t have consequences. It also doesn’t harm the environment. There are a lot of metals used in pigments and most of them will not harm you or nature : copper in phthalocyanine, titanium, chromium, vanadium, bismuth, strontium. In terms of environmental damage, the much more complex production of organic pigments often requires large amounts of chemicals and energy.

As I was looking though my stash to see if I had something alike to Lavender ( DS is very very expensive here) I was happy to find a good quality colour in my drawer that I will try in my mixes. If anyone is looking for a less expensive Lavender thecompany White Nights/St Petersburg makes a lavender watercolour w the same pigments that is in the Daniel Smith’s hue. It is also called Lavender. I know this company is based in Russia so it might be tricky to import because of embargos but it has always been a popular brand and I am sure shops still have it in stock. If you do not want to buy a Russian brand the Ukranian Rosa Gallery brand has a similar hue ( they normally have similar hues to the St Petersburg) but as I do not have it in my stash I don’t know the pigments but I am sure that is easily found on google.

Holy sh*t... that Deep Scarlet (14:00) is absolutely STUNNING. It looks really really vibrant and rich on camera but I referenced Jane Blundell's Daniel Smith swatches on her site to look at this color and it looks quite neutralized and earthy on her swatch. I did fast forward to view it dried in your video and it did seem to tone down and become more neutralized after drying. What are your thoughts? In real life would you describe it as more of an earthy red or a rich crimson red? Right now I have Pyrrol Crimson (PR 264) and I do love it but it kind of has a dramatic drying shift. I'm always on the hunt for nice high chroma rich/deep reds. For some reason I'm fascinated by this category of reds since they seem to be quite rare and hard to target

Of course almost all pigments are toxic ro some degree, metal or not (I do not use Cadmium because of opacity though.) BUT if we are to avoid metals, then before anything we have to ditch all earths, all "Mars" colours, even Prussian blue: these are all Iron compounds! And that is just the start. "Avoiding metals" sounds like another silly and ignorant fad- pure vanity. I am happy to see you use every metal under the sun- well, you cannot avoid them and still paint!

I think the amethyst genuine is an amazing color just like the rest of the primatek line and will probably purchase another tube and see what happens.

@@u.sonomabeach6528maybe part of it is that I use it relatively frequently like once a week if not more. If it dries for weeks before use maybe it gets much harder?

Hi Sarah, absolutely love your content. I wanted to suggest trying the Danial Smith Prussian Green, if you haven’t already. You might like it since you like the Phthalo turquoise. I love them both so much. ❤

Oohh you need to try American Journey’s Carr Yellow. It is so beautiful and more transparent than DS New Gamboge.

Lavender is a color I absolutely love using also. I even use it, sometimes with various blues, for skies. Thank you for such a comprehensive review of so many D.S. paints. Have you tried any of the D.S. watercolor sticks? They are easy to pack for plein air painting and for travel.😊

I think I have the same (or very similar) palette with 18 wells. I've sorta accumulated a lot of paints, but at some point wanted to build a custom palette. At first I found it difficult to limit myself to 18 paints, but now I'm super happy with the selection, and I reach for it more often than my larger tin of watercolors. I love the size of the palette. I also recently bought a bunch of granulating watercolors from Daniel Smith. I tend to not like granulating watercolors, but this time I intentionally set out to buy some, so that I could paint textured walls and such more easily. Have you tried Geothite yet? I bought that one to paint sandy beaches. Need to keep Bronzite in mind for some darker rocks. The Phthalo Turquoise is so stunning! I can see why you love it. I have a turquoise problem, though, so I should probably resist buying another one... xD

Hi🙂 Phthalo Turquoise reminds me of my favorite blue color, Antwerp Blue. This is the first time I've heard of Phthalo Turquoise and it's gorgeous! Have you ever tried any of the American Journey Watercolors? They have some colors that are specific to them and "Coastal Fog" is one of them, since you mentioned coastal fog! Thanks for sharing!

I love it when you talk color! I was wondering, is your preference phthalo turquoise or phthalo blue turquoise? I remember reading on your blog about your preferences for a limited gouache palette, and you mentioned Schmincke Helio blue, which I think is PB16, which is the same as phthalo blue turquoise. I mistakenly bought both the phthalo turquoise and the phthalo blue turquoise in DS watercolor. They are similar and both lovely, with the latter being not quite as green.

I also took workshops with both Iain Stewart and Thomas Schaller. Schaller prefers the Holbein Lavender so I bought that and found I prefer that to the DS. I’ve recently tried to recreate a John Singer Sargent and find I am liking the modern equivalents to the colors he had. One being “BrownPink” which I found from Sennelier. It was better than the Holbein greenish yellow Stewart liked and the DS rich green gold. I’m also trying using Viridian instead of phthalo green and Prussian blue instead of phthalo blue. I love the primateks. There is nothing like them and the granulations are awesome. Piedmontite is awesome as there is such a color shift depending on the saturation. Love serpentine, green apatite, jadeite and amazonite. I also like the quin lilac. PO48 has been discontinued so stock up now and with anything you like that has it in the mix. Quin burnt orange and quin gold. DS says they have a 20 year supply but it won’t last forever. I stocked up on the PO49 quin gold before it was gone and it’s even better than the current mix.

I feel...it's bit advanced for me to think about so many different hues...I rather focus on my technique than buy more at my stage. I'm quite a beginner in watercolour 😊

If you want to dilute ds gambouche might need some practice; it takes over really fast but I like it to mix my own version of naples yellow with white; for mixing yellow i prefer the hansa yellow deep for some reason mixes more translucent than the gambouche wich I ove for botanicals on stamns and so on.
